Man these Iwata tributes always make me well up. What an inspirational beautiful human!

Does this apply if you bought the games separately?

We don’t even know when it drops. So how could anyone actually make a real guess at the sales? Nintendo Life - you do not, I repeat DO NOT have to make an article out of every single bread crumb you find. The entire premise of this one is rooted in nonsense.

Dear Nintendo Life,

When you make a “Best of” list for a genre it helps to actually do some editorial and make selections of the actual best. Every one of these lists feels like you’re listing every game in the genre that’s in the platform. It’s just not actually helpful nor could all of these titles in this list qualify as “Best.” Sorry but it’s one of the more annoying things about this site.

I haven’t had any issues with casual match making on Switch. Also it seemed to calibrate to my skill level quite quickly. But dunno about ranked/more competitive matches.

GRIME should be on this list, looks dece.

@nocdaes based on this video and the track record it seems that Nintendo treats them as a think tank as much as a straight up games developer. They try a lot of stuff out with them. Nintendo has made gobs of money on Switch, so they can support that as long as they feel like really.

No Psyduck?! That’s should be #1. OG.

The obvious answer is The Lost Levels but I don’t really count that one since it’s more of a novelty to the US. Aside from it’s obvious trolling, Sunshine has loads of stuff I never came close to getting. It can be a punishing/unforgiving experience. So many things I scratched my head saying how? It’s the only one of the three 3D All Stars I didn’t play through to completion cuz it feels pretty chore-ish.

I used to always just put Link but now I do something silly like Lunk, Lernck, Bunce, etc.

Those bats are right out of Wind Waker.

@Knightrider1 you can! In Switch settings menu u can reassign buttons and sticks. Look on Reddit there is a workaround being posted.

@MeloMan totally agree with this assessment.

@Arckadius I really enjoyed my time with that game! Worth it.

@RudeAnimat0r Forest of Illusion!

@Glamdring64 same it was always such a standout. So many great remixes of that track now. I love Funk Fiction’s the best.

@OrtadragoonX those are all great choices!

The home screens for GameCube and Wii need a mention. So does the first and third main tracks in Mario Paint. Interesting the main action themes from the original Mario and Zelda aren’t on here.

Hybrid Heaven. Jet Force Gemini. World Driver Championship. Mischief Makers.

I have an OG from July of 2017. It’s still in great shape. No plastic issues aside from smoothing of the plastic from hand grease. Two tiny notches on the screen plastic from the dock but only over the bezel not the image, doesn’t bother me. All in all it has held up really well. Original gray joycon are working great but I did send them in to Nintendo for drift repair over two years ago. No issues since. The pink joycon from my Splatoon 2 set has minor drift sometimes but I haven’t bothered sending them in. All in all I’ve taken good care of it and treated it well and it had paid me back. None of the fan or cracked plastic issues I’ve heard about.

@Ventilator Dreamcast came out famously on 9.9.99 (late 1999 not 1998). GameCube was November 2001.

@BaronMunchausen believe that was “Project Gotham Racing” … wasn’t that an OG Xbox launch title?

@SeantheDon29 my thoughts exactly. They are so cash rich just strike up some decent licensing deals let’s goooo.

Blast Corps, 1080, And Jet Force Gemini all deserve a spot. As does the oft overlooked Extreme-G, which was super impressive at the time. Honorable mention for weird stuff like Forsaken 64 which arguably didn’t belong on that system! Also played a ton of World Cup ‘98, whose real-time commentary was pretty impressive back then.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with that VS Super Mario Bros pick... have you actually played it? The physics are totally off - it's harder on purpose, just to be a dick. Don't play it, play the NES version instead, it's 1000x better. Was the first Switch game I purchased that I actually deleted from my system. I'm MAD AT THAT GAME.

Yeah I guess I just can’t relate because I don’t think I’ve ever had “tears of joy or happiness” - like that’s just not a thing for me. Nostalgia, a beautiful mountain, a powerful image - that can make me cry for sure - but just thinking something is so cute it reduces me to tears is not a thing for me. But hey - I guess it is for other people.

I also think maybe it’s a generational gap thing. Like I don’t use Twitter at all because I don’t like the format and I am turned off by a lot of Twitch/YouTube “personalities” because so much of that “content” is just regurgitated sh*t we all know and talk about... it’s very “look at me look at me look at me” which often hits me as hollow and disingenuous. I feel like this young generation now is being trained to be obsessed with likes and follows and owning some sort of personal brand - I think it’s pretty problematic in a lot of ways. But also maybe I’m just not the target demo and am aging out of relevancy at 33.

In other words - get off my lawn! Lol

Yeah this is annoying and also seems like a disingenuous personality putting it on with the camera rolling. WTH would cuteness make you cry? Poignancy sure... but cuteness?? GTFO.

@Ventilator Cruisin' USA and Cruisn' World were both on N64.

Counting console versions separately really diluted this list. We didn’t need shovel night in three different iterations. Totally dumb.

You guys took one article from The Guardian and turned it into two “articles.”

I know you need to always update the site with “content” every day, but come on...

Making “articles” from comment thread rumors and out of context tweets doesn’t cut it either. I think the world is just fine with fewer posts of substance rather than a constant stream of nothing much.

I’m pretty sure that cart was 256 megs.

That’s a cluttered mess if you ask me.

Slow news day, huh fells?

It’s a good game so far, 4-5 hours in. The combat is very satisfying once you really start to learn the enemy movement patterns.

I was able to play DB Fighter Z at E3 and must say I was really impressed with how it looked on Switch! Silky smooth and ultra high-quality!

Preordering went up in the US eshop tonight, I’ve already paid and downloaded... now, to wait.

Nah. Should only be gaming specific characters.

Slow news day, huh?

Splatoon 2 is the perrenial go to in our house, my girlfriend loves it and I love playing a series of matches here and there, it’s still super fun. Downloaded Revelations 2 the other day. It’s pretty good, not Resi4 good, but solid. Loading times kill me tho. Also been playing Celeste, I think I’m on the final stage now. Love Celeste - it’s so contemporary and creative.

Fate is this best in the series but I love Runner. Def picking up day 1.

Christmas '97 - I got Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing and Mischief Makers for N64!

Dungeons were always the best part of Zelda in my opinion. Sort of a 2:1 overworld exploration to dungeon ratio. I'd usually spend a play session or two to get the dungeon and then be excited to come back the next night and play through a whole dungeon in one sitting (unless it was a head scratcher and I needed a break). Whoever said "Zelda isn't for dungeon crawling" is seriously on crack. I liked the change of pace with the shrines but thought they could have used some design and theme variation.

What the hell is a "rolly roguelike"??

@FragRed Actually I'm apparently full of poop, I just went to their youtube page and it's already up. Well I'll be.

@FragRed SuperBowl is tomorrow. Nintendo sent out a teaser of that commercial in an official email yesterday but tradition would keep it under wraps until its official airing during the super bowl broadcast. Shouldn't take long for ratings report from the game but usually it is the most watched broadast of the year in america.
