@Fake-E-Lee glad you are enjoying it so far! I had a lot of fun with this game, especially the building aspect (my second house was an Enterprise-style building on a space-themed island). The combat is really nice, and--at the time--it filled in the Monster Hunter-sized void in my Switch collection.

I've since moved on from this game, but not without fond memories (and a ton of screenshots).

I hope you have endless hours of fun with the game! The ending portion of the story is a real trip. ^_^

My phone for Nintendo games? But what will I use for multiplayer chat?

...my Switch?

Gotta admit, the online play was never an issue for me, as I play local multiplayer 99% of the time. That said, the cloud saves has become less necessary in my eyes, and NES games aren't enough of an incentive to get the online service yet. Maybe when Pokémon 2019 comes out.

This game is not for me, but it looks AMAZING! I hope it does well. Party strategy board games are always welcome.

@dash257 oh man, I love Actraiser. Great combination of side scroller and civilization sim.

On topic: good on Square for at least giving us this. But a port of probably one of the most incomplete and lackluster FF is a hard pass for me.

These games were great many many many years ago. Not sure I want to grind through them again, but I heartily recommend these games for first timers. 😊

@KingdomHeartsFan pirates or not, profit or none, they (we!) don't own the copyright.

Is it the same as someone making fan art of an existing IP? Yes and no. The fan art is your work (that infringes on existing IP). The sprites are the actual ones taken from the game. Which is unauthorized use of copyrighted material.

In the situation of fan art, the copyright owner can choose to issue a C&D to the fan artist just the same.

Why does this NOT happen a lot in comics conventions? There is something called an implied license, in that the main company is not actively suing fan artists for the sake of growing the community. (e.g. Marvel not suing people who make fan art) But when they do send out a C&D, it must be followed.

Would Nintendo benefit from fostering a fan community? Definitely. Are they at fault by pursuing legal actions? Definitely not.

This art style has vibes of "Western person trying to draw in Animé style"
That being said, the art is nice.

"On the negative side, I feel that people get together less in-person to play games nowadays."

This is sad if it comes true everywhere. Fortunately, where I'm from, we regularly meet up to play local multiplayer, and conventions were a great place for the 3DS, and now a great place for the Switch.

I'm wary of Kickstarter, but good luck to the developers.

Is this any good? I'm on the lookout for a fishing game.

Glad to have contributed 14 to that number.

Really sad about this whole situation. Though I always viewed M#9 as merely a stopgap to quell my Megaman thirst. With the compilations and the brand new Megaman all coming out this year, my need and frustration with Might No.9 is all but gone now.

That pace and movement is reaaaaally slow. May be good for kids as an entry-leve adventure game. But if "Secret of Mana", is being tossed around as a comparison/inspiration, then the pace should be faster.

@MagicEmperor if only the money from that kind of manuscript is enough to retire on... XD

Build the future, protect the present. Remember the past.

"The world is thrown for a loop when gigantic, blocky monsters from another dimension suddenly invade our reality.

Meanwhile, a girl from the suburbs (Mila Jovovich) discovers the true secret to her lineage. Wielding a pickaxe, she is the only hope of humankind. She must answer the call of her ancestors, those blessed with the powers of... the Minecrafters."

@Shiryu yeah, between Mon Hun, Dragon Café, and Overcooked 2 AND Octopath Traveler, my August will be unusually busy game-wise!

Mon HUN! MON HUN!!! MON HUUUUN!!!

Doesn't matter if you have 28 million or 270 Billion, losing 27 Million is not chump change.

PREORDERING NOW.

@HobbitGamer same. I love Wii Sports. The tennis game was my favorite.

This looks promising if it follows the Wii Fit model. The simpler it is, the better the product will be, I think.

@ReaderRagfish still hoping to see an evolution (or mega evolution) of Dunsparce. Love that little Pokémon. Always felt like it was destined for something more.

I placed my 3DS under a load bearing beam. After this update, my house will now be earthquake proof.

Nice design theory!
The simpler the designs, the more timeless they are. This is why Charizard and Dragonite are so iconic.

Was hoping for a higher score, but after reading the review, I think I'll pass on this game.

@KryptoniteKrunch they're only trying to protect their players from outside content, after all.

Like a cult.

Am hoping we also get a fishing simulator. This game looks OK but the reviews have been lukewarm.

I love this game so much.

Is it TIME TO GO MEG---OK I'll stop.

That subtitle is..um...something.

36 hours into Octopath Traveler now. Really, really enjoying this game.

@Preposterous very true. MHXX Switch Ver. was just a quick upgrade to act as a stopgap, and especially since they were gearing up to promote MHW.

I suppose the main reason why people are griping about MHGU looking dated is because it's 2018. Had it come out in mid-2017, there would have been far fewer complaints. (And this is my main issue with Capcom delaying MHGU this long. It just attracts more negative comments.)

Ultimately (no pun intended) though, fans of the series have been waiting for this and will most likely play it (I know myself and all my friends will! I pre-downloaded it, already.) The people complaining are likely not going to be buying it, anyway.

To everyone complaining: As long as there is no other MH game on the Switch, this is the best we have. Hopefully there will be a more modern MH coming soon, but for now us hungry fans will have to make do with this. (And I'm completely fine with that. Looking forward to hunting "Jet Magala" soon.)

Why does every new kid's show use a snarky voice for the lead character?

And I cringed every time he said "it's time to gowh Megah"

My body is ready!!!!!!
(Also dat Korok outfit is cuuuuute. Wish it made the tingling sound as well.)

@Devi yes! The controls felt very unresponsive. There were noticeable delays. It really turned us off from the game after a while.

Bag looks nice, but that pricetag though...

Very sad. My condolences to the family.

@Cathousemaster really wish I had tried our the VR game. I was in Shinjuku on business last year and it had just come out. Alas, there was too much to do and not enough time to do it. Great place, fantastic night life. (And the lines to buy the brand new Switch were craaaazy.)

The sales are unbending.

If this has no more in-app purchase system, then I'm all for this. The trailer caught my attention a month or so back.

Gorgeous aesthetic! Looks like you're playing an art book!

Very witty of them.

@BAN #NoRagrets

Downloaded this yesterday. Can't wait to play it and transfer my demo save today!

@Kevember yes people can easily avoid them. Which is a problem in itself. If you avoid even 1 out of 5 articles because of it, that's a 20% loss in clicks for NL.

If they make 5 great articles instead, the views would increase (in this hypothetical situation, anyway.)

Also good on you for disabling ad block! I do the same, and even click on ads here from time to time.

*"...insightful or inciteful..."

Nice phrase. I'll use it if you don't mind, @NEStalgia, hehe.

@Mii_duck the click-bait concern is not just for the sake of the readers. As others have said, it lowers the standards of the site (tabloid vs. journal) so for prestige sake, Nintendolife would benefit from less of that stuff.

True, we can quickly detect and avoid such articles, but that leads to a bigger problem: it causes viewers to go elsewhere. Plenty of comments on this article indicate that it's exactly what is happening. People are turning elsewhere for non click-bait content.

I'd also like to add that I'm sure everyone would like to maximize the content that they find useful on this site.

A front page showing 5 informative and soulful articles is much better than one informative, one soulful, and 3 clickbait articles.
