The loading times being halved is a game changer for me. The load times in Three Houses got so old after a while, even when it was just loading social elements.
Man, I am really excited for this game. I just secured my preorder for the divine edition yesterday! If this game is just Three Houses but more in-depth and tighter, that's all I really need.
@MegaVel91 Never said consistency is a bad thing. I’m saying that a lot of the characters, especially the returning ones, look nearly identical to each other. The only differences are the hair and clothes. They also all look like they’re about 10 years old.
I am looking forward to this game, but I really dislike these character designs. They made everyone, especially returning characters, look nearly identical. They've lost all sense of originality.
I look forward to it! I still haven’t bought Sunbreak yet since I’m still working on the main quests but I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on it next year
Well, this probably confirms that the game will not be delayed again. If they needed to significantly overhaul or refine content, I believe the ESRB would need to take another look at the game.
This is easily one of my most anticipated games right now. I honestly don't care how long it takes to make, as long as it's polished and complete on release. I'm sure Eric will ensure that the game's in the best state it can be before release.
Goodness, that is a hefty fine. Considering they're a multibillion-dollar company, this shouldn't hurt them too much. But hopefully, this leads to other companies changing the way their transaction models are laid out.
Honestly I think my biggest problem with 11 was the presentation, both graphically and musically. If they could make a return to form with some great pixel art and more classic music in 12, I think we’d have an awesome game on our hands
Stuff like this just makes no sense. If your kids are playing too many games, you have the authority as a parent to set limits for them. Don't blame the game for being successful at its goal.
It's a good thing that Alan is gone. From what I understood, he caused a lot of unnecessary drama. Hopefully this means that Panda will work towards getting SWT up and running again.
I dunno, I mean I don't think Chris Pratt's voice is bad by any means. It just sounds a little too low-key for the role. But overall, the other voice actors have been phenomenal so I don't mind it too much.
This golf update absolutely looks like Golf for Nintendo Switch Sports for the Nintendo Switch family of consoles (not compatible with Nintendo Switch Lite).
I wish there were more nerfs to some Salmon Run bosses, like the Flyfish especially.
@BenAV I also struggle to find out exactly why people dislike Wahoo World. Even I'm not a huge fan of it but I don't really understand why. It's not a bad map, though, and I think it'll play out for Salmon Run really well.
Holy cow this is a huge list of changes. Really glad to see that Tricolor is being fixed, hopefully, this change will help balance it out more. Being able to see the name of songs in battle is a great touch. I'm also excited to see how the change to Undertow Spillway plays out. Hopefully it makes the stage a bit less linear.
This is looking to be my favorite wave yet. Every track (save for maybe Tour’s) looks incredible, and that MUSIC!! I can’t wait to hear Rock Rock Mountain with live instrumentation.
I'm kind of surprised you can just jump in at S+0. I would have thought maybe +5 or 10. I guess I don't mind though as this means I'll be able to try it out.
I mean, yeah. Bridge to Turnabout isn’t really even contested as the best case. However I would make a strong case for Farewell My Turnabout and Resolve of Ryunosuke being really high up there
I've played a lot more New Horizons, but from what I've played of New Leaf, I think I like it more. New Leaf just felt like it had more stuff to do each day.
However, I love both of them. New Horizon especially feels so much more cozy and polished than New Leaf thanks to the music and graphics, even though it technically has less stuff in it.

Re: Poll: The Year Of Luigi Was A Decade Ago, So Whose Turn Is It Now?
I feel like Samus deserves it, especially since the 20th anniversary of Prime and Fusion went by without even a mention.
Re: Backlog Club: Nintendo Life's Games Of Not-This-Year Awards 2022
Shoutout the the Phoenix Wright and Great Ace Attorney games. The best things I’ve played this year bar none

Look at how they massacred my girl...

Re: Nintendo Announces Splatoon 3 Turf War Tournament For December (North America)
Eh, guess I'm not too interested in participating. Glad that Nintendo is hosting more tournaments like this, though.

SUPER excited for this collection. I haven’t played much of Battle Network but what I have was super fun.

This was super annoying, good thing they fixed it!
Re: Mini Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 - The Best Set Of Tracks Yet
Definitely the best wave we've had yet. London Loop is a bit dull-looking but still fun.
Re: Never Played Mario + Rabbids? Nintendo's Video Guide Is Here To Help
Still definitely have my eye on this game. If it gets a pretty deep sale, as these games do, I'll definitely pick it up.

@Fizza Big competition for the most heart-wrenching narrative of the month

It's a good thing that Alan is gone. From what I understood, he caused a lot of unnecessary drama. Hopefully this means that Panda will work towards getting SWT up and running again.
Re: The Mario Movie Will Be Coming Out Early In Some Parts Of The World
That... is very strange. I wonder why it's coming out so much earlier in some areas?
Re: Totally New 30-Second Super Mario Movie Trailer Appears Out Of Nowhere
I dunno, I mean I don't think Chris Pratt's voice is bad by any means. It just sounds a little too low-key for the role. But overall, the other voice actors have been phenomenal so I don't mind it too much.
Also, why is the animation so good???!
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Donkey Kong's New Look In The Mario Movie?
I would prefer the DKC look, but this definitely isn't bad
Re: Nintendo Uploads New Mario Movie Posters
I didn't like DK's design at first but it's growing on me a little bit

Uhhh is there a link that I'm missing somewhere?

Re: Random: Sounds Like Masahiro Sakurai Wants A Kid Icarus: Uprising Port As Much As Us
Oooh, that’s a pretty suspicious statement. Would absolutely love to see this game get ported so I can play through the whole thing
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 Launches Next Month
This is looking to be my favorite wave yet. Every track (save for maybe Tour’s) looks incredible, and that MUSIC!! I can’t wait to hear Rock Rock Mountain with live instrumentation.
Re: Feature: Every Metroid Prime Location, Ranked
Phazon Mines should be a lot lower. That area is so annoying
Re: Advance Wars Style Kickstarter Project Warside Targeting 2023 Switch Release
...This looks nearly identical to Advance Wars

Fukurashi will be voiced by Chris Pratt in the upcoming Sakurai documentary
Re: Feature: Wii U Memories - Our Pre-Launch Thoughts On Nintendo's Charming Misstep
Still a great console in my book. It's home to some of my favorite games ever made, and I have a ton of fond memories with it.
Re: Splatoon 3 Adds Another Returning Stage For Salmon Run In Upcoming Season
Super happy they're bringing this one back! Probably my second-favorite from 2, right behind Ark Polaris.
Weird how they didn't mention this in the trailer, though.
Re: Nintendo Shares More Details On Splatoon 3's Upcoming X Battles
I'm kind of surprised you can just jump in at S+0. I would have thought maybe +5 or 10. I guess I don't mind though as this means I'll be able to try it out.
Re: Poll: What Was The Best Wii U Launch Game?
Definitely Nintendoland. An absolute gem of a multiplayer game and I would love to see a sequel someday.
Re: Japanese Charts: Tactics Ogre Debuts Strong, Outselling God Of War: Ragnarok
Really surprised that GoW isn't topping the charts
Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning New Story Trailer For Fire Emblem Engage
Definitely gonna play this with the Japanese dub… yikes. Game looks great though
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Leads Nintendo's Nominations At The Game Awards 2022
I really hope Splatoon 3 wins best multiplayer game. All the other options except for maybe TMNT don't even come close.
Re: Feature: The 10 Best Ace Attorney Cases, Ranked
I mean, yeah. Bridge to Turnabout isn’t really even contested as the best case. However I would make a strong case for Farewell My Turnabout and Resolve of Ryunosuke being really high up there

I’m only missing Korok seeds and a few side quests. But other than that it is complete!
Re: Random: No, Nintendo Of America Didn't Tweet A Pic Of Mario Flipping The Bird
The verification system is just an absolute mess now. I don't know how Elon managed to make the site even worse than it already was, but here we are
Re: Mini Review: Save Room - RE4 'Inventory Tetris' Writ Large, Though Not Large Enough
@Polvasti It's more of an extension of the inventory management system in RE4.
Re: Poll: So, Animal Crossing: New Leaf Or New Horizons - Which Do You Like Best?
I've played a lot more New Horizons, but from what I've played of New Leaf, I think I like it more. New Leaf just felt like it had more stuff to do each day.
However, I love both of them. New Horizon especially feels so much more cozy and polished than New Leaf thanks to the music and graphics, even though it technically has less stuff in it.
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Sonic Frontiers Review?
I appreciate this website's reviewing integrity, and not trying to rush to fit a deadline. Take your time with the review, I'm sure it will be great.
Re: Poll: One Year After The DLC, Are You Still Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
I think I'm over the game at this point. The DLC got me back into it for a little bit, but it wasn't enough to keep me engaged for long.
