Grandma Cleaning Simulator – DAY ONE. Physical is on the way but I'm double dipping. Loved Grandad Gardening Simulator so pretty sure I'll love this. Hope it reviews well. Some graphical downgrades from PS5 version but it won't worry me.
@Freek @LikelySatan No problems, just be warned that I probably undersold how confusing it can get. Getting lost actually adds to the game's appeal here in my opinion, and you will feel disoriented right from the start. Unfortunately I think the developer took down a short game guide from their website, but there is a rough one on Steam and a world map on GameFAQs. Good luck if you decide to play it!
RESOLUTIION - A supremely original action RPG game set in a mind bending cyber-distopia. It's a spiritual sibling to Hyper Light Drifter, but is even more memorable than that game due to its aloof yet haunting Kafkaesque story. It has an exceptionally heart-wrenching soundtrack, gorgeous psychedelic pixel art, and the combat is tough yet satisfying with plenty of variety in weaponry and tactics. It is an eccentric game and you will be confused, yet it challenges the player's mind and indulges their senses like an epic fever dream!
@WiltonRoots Given that Square doesn't want Switch players to be able to play Chrono Trigger, there's not much hope for the lesser games like Soul Blazer etc unfortunately.
I played the first game recently, I enjoyed it but havn't finished it yet - I thought it was too long, disjointed, confusing and difficult. It surprises me how popular this franchise is, but since its an Aussie developer I am happy about that.
1) LoZ: A Link Between Worlds 2) LoZ: A Link Between Worlds 3) LoZ: A Link Between Worlds 4) LoZ: A Link Between Worlds 5) LoZ: A Link Between Worlds That is all.
This looks OK but a bit generic.. No mention of soundtrack quality which is a big con for me.. Astalon: Tears of the Earth is more likely to be the best metroidvania that you've never heard of.
From 'Escape Game Abandoned Hospital' - "The inside of the hospital looks so dilapidated that some part collapsed and dusty That is giving me a bad feeling… I must need to get out of this place now…" Thank you NintendoLife for bringing these quality games to our attention!
I hope people who are looking forward to this enjoy it, but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed at another Nintendo-by-the-numbers 1st party game. Don't play it too safe for too long please Nintendo 🙏🏼
@CharlieGirl It's weird because I love first wave punk and female singers but I couldn't get into Germ Free Adolescents, I will give it another try though.. Crass and Penetration on the other hand I love.. Good to see some old punks on this site! 🎸🤘
Metroid Prime - The Tallon Overworld theme when you first land on Tallon IV is ethereal. Seiken Densetsu 3 - Another Winter (snow town theme I think) I loop in my head for hours. Oh and FFVII Farm Boy (Chocobo farm), because who doesn't love a nice banjo in their JRPG I ask you
Hiroki Kikuta (secret of mana & trials of mana) is my favourite composer, would be cool to see his work get more recognition. Squaresoft and Enix games of the 90s have some of the best music ever composed. And Falcom Sound Team rule too 🤘
@Friendly Yeh I'm not into 'murdering innocent people' games either, I would rather Nintendo stay away from these type of games. Although I don't have a problem with people enjoying them, I don't think some of the content is compatible with the Switch's young user base.
I am so confused. I mean I have been playing this series for 30 years or so and I thought that I knew that Zelda was the grill and Link was the boy but now I'm not so sure. A gymnast is saying that Zelda is the boy so maybe Link is the girl!! Can someone confirm this please 🤷
@AtlanteanMan Sounds like you've really been triggered, what's with all the outrage? All over a silly point and click game. No one asked for your half baked intellectual ramblings, why not save them for Breitbart.com or Reddit/incels or something. I'm guessing you have been triggered by the recent NLife articles about minority representation in games. You and everyone else saying 'well said' etc. just want to silence people who dare to express new ideas. I don't necessarily agree with all of the current arguments being put forward by liberals about race etc.. but I listen to them and don't have random tantrums.. You're just insecure that your worldview isn't the only worldview out there anymore, and frankly it's pathetic.
Hearing Frog's Theme from Chrono Trigger gives me chills at the best of times, but in the Olympic ceremony, amazing. I would have liked some battle music too, maybe the boss tune from FF7 hehe
@Spiders Unless Rin-go edited their post or you were referring to an earlier post by them, I'm not sure what upset you about that post, it was civil enough. I think I actually hold quite similar views to yourself and BloodNinja regarding the necessity for free speech and conflicting views to be heard and respected. However I cannot accept that this comment section is an 'echo chamber'. There's lots of different opinions here, which is great. We will never agree, which in some ways is how it should be.
@BloodNinja Yes, I am here to challenge your bravado. Not for any old inane reason, but because bullies need to be challenged. I think you hind behind your martial arts persona, a common practice it would seem. Take off the ninja mask, I want to see if there is a human face behind it.
@BloodNinja It is true that I should not judge you based on your presumed age. However, age usually contributes to life experience, and life experience is very important in shaping a well-rounded character. Also I have read hundreds of your comments, not just 'a few', and there is a distinct pattern of overly academic language and rigid, convoluted arguments. I only called you out because you reminded me of myself at a younger age, all burning intellect but nothing to really back it up.
Barrett from Final Fantasy VII is an interesting case study. His inclusion is pretty cool for a game from 1997, but his portrayal is pretty cringeworthy at times. Also that Netflix series High Score has an interesting segment on the first time black players were included in a Madden game. Great article, thanks NLife.
Such an underrated classic. Not as polished as some of the other Action RPGs of the time but just as unbelievably creative as them in every way, soundtrack is incredible too.
@BloodNinja Your commenting on articles to to do with diversity related topics is very predictable. I get that you think of yourself as a deep thinker but you seem to lack the kind of empathy that comes with life experience. I'm guessing you're around 18 or 20 in age? You say "skin is just an organ of the body, it has no relevance" but that is such a naive thing to say because you have likely never experienced racism or known anyone who has, therefore you have never had to really think about what effects skin colour has in the real world. Certain groups in society need to agitate and push the conversation forward in order to overturn entrenched disadvantage. You seem to be very insecure about your place in the world as you seem to get defensive every time a viewpoint other than your own is aired. The use of bold type and your need to have the last say in everything are red flags too.
