I have a real problem with this game. And that's animal cruelty. I do NOT like watching the cutesy pets be skewered, stabbed smashed, and then their corpses bouncing around lifeless. You can sacrifice them while they're still alive or use their bodies to disarm traps. It's unnecessary and would absolutely traumatize my daughter if she ever caught glimpse of it.

There are an abundance of options you can tweak, a really impressive amount, but no blood off setting. That's bare minimum consideration for people's tastes and I'm outright angry over the lack of an option combined with the animal cruelty.

@Tandy255 Apart from stating the painfully obvious, whats your point?

I am very familiar with the guy having been on this site for quite some time. Stating your utter intolerance and referring to things others might like as evil is uncalled for when talking anout personal opinions. It's rude, unnecessary, and hateful. His remarks come from a place of hateful intolerance and i dont like it.

@Anti-Matter Incredibly tolerant and accepting of you. I'm happy you're so open-minded.

@Nerdfather1 Pretty pathetic going through comment history before even having a conversation.

@AndyC_MK84 Apologize for the shaming the guy. He's not asking for ***** congratulations.

@AndyC_MK84 Not your place to say or judge. Grow up.

@Silly_G You should be ashamed of yourself being so judgemental. You owe this guy an apology.

Same goes for all of you.

This is a gaming website where gamers come to discuss games and the hobby they simetimes passionately enjoy. He chooses to spend a couple hours a day grinding a game he loves and ya'll are going to come at him like this? Grow up.

I wouldn't really mind these shenanigans if it was a single-player game. What with all the time-traveling and abuse of the systems that has gotten so popular I'm afraid it'll wreck the intended longetivity of the game for many.

But then again, you have to make the choice to take advantage of this stuff, and I chose not to. Everybody can certainly play however they want. I just don't like it.

The hardest of passes. Don't even give this a try, everyone. Don't give them the download.

@AlexSora89 They said that? Lol, what a slap in the face.

Any reason in particular you're giving this guy a place of attention on your front page?

Nobody needs to know what this awful individual thinks and it's not news.

Thanks.

Guys, maybe it's just not for you. Not only that, but you're going on the attack demanding a direct or some game announcements instead of this.

Grow up and be patient. Kids will love this. Nintendo doesn't directly and solely cater to the needs, desires, and emotions of the hardcore gamers.

That's how it has always been done. Seeing these comments just makes me sad.

@ilh Yup! It plays well, don't get me wrong, and I'm not normally one to care, but competitively it makes a big difference to me.

@Shiryu Thank you kindly!

Only slight disappointment, as you say. I can tolerate Overwatch at 30fps because I'm not taking it too seriously on this platform. This will be the same. Besides, it's free to play!

Liked Catherine, though some of the climbing sections I'd never like to play ever again.

And with XCOM, yes, give it all to me and I'll buy it all. I'd be overjoyed with Enemy Within, but I'd still be very happy with 2.

1. Gyro aiming
2. 60fps

Just those two things is all I ask and I'll be all over this! Looks like good, old-fashioned fun.

For years this has been the first website I check while I eat breakfast. I just want to say I appreciate everybody here, staff and regular commenters alike. I don't say much, but know that this lurker loves ya.

It's clear the R is for "racing". You can see the N and the G plain as day on the end there. Pretty exciting!

Yup, my daughter is obsessed with Paw Patrol. For some reason it just clicked with her and she had all the names and catchphrases down pretty much immediately. It's the very first cartoon she's clung on to, and she won't leave the house without her "Cha Cho", as she pronounces it, puppy. So yeah, I'll be picking this up.

She's turning 3 in June, so I doubt she'll be able to really play. I'm hoping it'll be at least passable fun for an adult to play while the kiddo squeals and shouts.

Not to worry though, I've already got her familiar with Mario and other Nintendo characters. I'm hoping sometime this year she'll make it past the Goomba in Super Mario Bros and be hooked from then on.

You'll be missed. I wish you all the best. Thanks for all your hard work and your part in making NintendoLife the first website I open up every morning.

Online play would be amazing! I wish I had a real-life gaming buddy or two like I did when I was younger.

And my wish list continues to grow and grow and grow.

@datamonkey Haha! I was wondering if I'd ever see anybody mention this. I look for that in every article and I always imagine the same.

Overwatch - send help, can't stop playing and it's been a year

Stardew Valley - About 25 hours and am on the first day of winter. I adore this game.

Axiom Verge - I pop this on for maybe an hour a night. Fantastic.

SNES Mini - a bit of everything. 2-player Mario World with the wife.

2 has always been my favorite. 20-ish years ago I could beat that with 3 quarters. I held off on buying 2 because I was hoping for X. So, yay.

It's a bit buggy, but I adore it nonetheless.

I can't believe I was lucky enough to walk into Gamestop, which I avoid like the plague, and picked one up as soon as they opened at 10. I felt like a kid again opening it up.

I put my chances at 5% of actually being able to get one. I lost all Joe after the NES mini. I hope everyone gets a chance to get one at a reasonable price.

Today's comment sections have me seriously considering not only blocking Slig, but everybody who responds to him as well. Or heck, I'll leave his comments, but just block the responders. As much as I like you guys, honestly, the pissing that goes on in response is way, way more irritating than his comments themselves which I can disregard easily enough.

He's not going away, and he's not changing his views. Let's stop arguing and "biting" as he would say. Read his comment, say to yourself, "Yup. Of course that's how he feels." and keep on scrolling. Please.

@LUIGITORNADO

Lordy, what childish remarks!

I'm a 35 year-old married father who works full-time. The Switch's portability allows me to play when I can, be it during free-time at work or when the family is using the home TV. While my gaming PC and other consoles don't get much play anymore, the Switch fits my life perfectly, and has allowed me to find time to enjoy my hobby when I can.

But no, only children.

There are a few details missing here..

Special Power Up increases the radius of Splashdown, the radius of the targeting circle for Tenta Missles, and the duration of Ink Armor, Ink Jet, Ink Storm, Sting Ray, and all the bomb specials. It also increases the health of the Baller. It does not increase the damage of any of these.

Sub Power Up isn't that straightforward. It increases the performance, not the damage, of sub weapons. The throw range of suction bombs, auto bombs, burst bombs, point sensor, splat bomb, and toxic mist is increased. The speed is increased on the curling bombs, the effective range is increased for the ink mine, the durability is increased for the splash wall, duration increase for the sprinkler, and finally it increases the speed of which you can jump to a placed beacon.

Also, Run Speed Up increases the speed you move while firing, not just running around. So it's got some good utility.

Phew!

@LiberatedAnimal @Linked2thaPast Kilton only gives medals for boss monsters - those with a health bar on top of the screen. Lynels don't count. Just moldugas, hinox, and talons.

I've really been looking forward to this game! Since the Switch has completely taken over my handheld game time, this lovely little game will have to wait. Glad to see a great score!

(Googles TATE)... Ohhh, vertical. I naturally assumed it was an acronym, but I guess we're all just shouting the word, haha. Seems like that'd be pretty great with an undocked Switch. With a smaller TV I suppose one could flip it on its side - I saw some photos of people doing that with computer monitors. Looking at my TV now I have to admit it'd be pretty rad playing a vertical shmup with it oriented like that.

Anyway, I freakin love bullet hell games like Ikaruga and Espgaluda II. I'm excited one is coming to Switch.

Since the 360, I've been Xbox + DS/3DS. I have a dozen other consoles, but those two got the most playtime. Nowadays, I have an Xbox One which has only been used for Fallout, XCOM, Witcher, now is just an Overwatch machine, and my 3DS has grudgingly gotten put aside for the Switch.

Until now, I've always only had one current-gen console. NES over Sega, SNES over Genesis, PS1 over N64, PS2, 360, X1. The Switch fits the "second console" slot so perfectly for me, but I don't think I'd like it to be my only current console.

For the record, I do wish I had a PS4 over the Xbox at this stage. It was a gift though, so I'm quite happy with it.

@JunkRabbit Ya know, I think that would work fine. I'm a huge fan of serious sim racers, and the lack of analog shoulder buttons had me thinking we wouldn't see any on the Switch.

So yeah, I'd love to see this brought over.

@NEStalgia

If you press A when viewing a ghost's loadout, etc, you can watch the ghost's replay all by itself! Change the replay camera to the game camera, and It's super helpful as you already can imagine.

Forty first

I'll probably pick up Minecraft. I played quite a bit of it on PC back in 2010 or so, and I know there have been many changes since then. Not that I'm itching for something to play. I'm still upgrading equipment and seed hunting in BOTW, some MK8 thrown in occasionally, and I'm having a lot of fun with NBA Playgrounds (looking forward to a much needed patch though).

I'd be very interested in this for the Neo Geo games as of right now.

@NEStalgia Yeah, I'm mega-hyped for Disgaea 5. More hyped than I've been for any other Switch game thus far. I've always looked at Playstation owners with envy since going the Xbox route after the PS2 because they got all the new entries in that series. Finally, I have a console with the newest Disgaea AND it's portable! Woop.

Lordy, I can't keep up with all these games. It's nice to have a backlog so early in the Switch's life, I must say!

Well, I'll be adding this to my now growing list of 3DS games to buy this year! Looks like a good time. I've been getting really burned out waiting to find a Switch at retail, so it's very nice seeing lots of upcoming 3DS love.

Haha, allllllrighty then.

Not exactly a massive fan, although I did play my fair share way back when, but this is really good news.

I am so ridiculously hyped for this game!

@dew12333 It's already available, actually. It's new, so don't feel like you've overlooked it however long you've been here. "Ignore" is right next to "Reply" and "Report" in the comment box.

@Anti-Matter UK is 0 and you guys are +7, so West Indonesia is seven hours in advance, so 6am your time. Pretty sure!

"Maybe some just look at the box"

That made me laugh because that's exactly what I'm doing having bought the game yesterday, but also having absolutely no leads on where to find a Switch at retail price. Wife gave me a hard time in her confusion, lol.

@Yosher My thoughts exactly. It's not that big of a deal, but NL could stand to be a bit more considerate.

Please.

Quite possibly my favorite gaming device of all time going all the way back to the Atari 2600. The launch was rough, and I honestly felt pretty silly buying one right away. I started with the original black, then XL red, XL Zelda gold, and now the New XL black.

Over all these years, and thanks to the plethora of RPGs, I've racked up [pokes calculator] 6,176 hours total playtime with the following games at top 5:

1 - Kid Icarus: Uprising - 790 hours
2 - Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 417 hours
3 - Fantasy Life - 377 hours
4 - Bravely Default - 260 hours
5 - Rune Factory 4 - 233 hours
And then 17 (!) other games with 100+ hours.

There are still many games I'm looking forward to (DQ XI, FE: Valentia, Ever Oasis, RPG Maker Fes, Radiant Historia) and a couple I haven't played yet (Majora's Mask, no idea why I haven't yet, and Zero Escape 3)

Remake or not, day-one buy for me. Such awesome news I can barely contain my enthusiasm!
