Re: The Game Boy Lives On Once More As The Shapeshifter Closes In On Kickstarter Target

Switcheroot

@Splodge The creator addressed some of your points on the Kickstarter page. This new release will:

  • Have a save function ("You can save and load your game")
  • "Improve cartridge quality: The quality of the cartridge has been improved considerably."
  • "Improve the cardboard box and the instruction booklet: Higher quality."

Now I'm gonna watch the vid you linked to see if I should support this Kickstarter or not, thanks

Edit: Oof, these games aren't for me at all.

Re: Epic's Apple Lawsuit Could Have "Significant And Serious Ramifications" For Platform Holders Like Nintendo

Switcheroot

@BrintaPap Apple could get out of this by allowing people to directly install .ipa files on their devices, so devs don't have to use the Apple Store.

Apple would disable it by default and hide the option behind a couple of scary warnings, and they'd be good. Or do like Android and make you skim blindly through your settings to find where they've hidden the option to install .apk from the web in this version.

Because that is what happened with Microsoft and IE, nothing else. My point being, Epic will lose this one because they're greedy *****, but yes, a case can be made against Apple and their monopoly on apps.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Super Mario 3D All-Stars On Nintendo Switch

@RudyC3 Amazon FR has a page up now, you just won't find it by browsing their website: https://www.amazon.fr/Nintendo-August-2020-1/dp/B08GZ4Z5SM

Looks like a placeholder they threw together in a hurry (they misplaced the dash in the title). Also, yeah, 70€ is crazy, but you can secure a preorder through this page and when the price lowers Amazon will keep you updated. It's gonna be 60€ tops, in the end.

Edit: Otherwise FNAC has it for 60€ : https://jeux-video.fnac.com/a13568537/
Leclerc is the cheapest at 50€: https://www.culture.leclerc/jeux-video-u/nintendo-switch-u/jeux-u/plateforme-u/super-mario-3d-all-stars---edition-limitee-switch-0045496426675-pr

Re: Nintendo Just Launched A New Game And You Can Download It For Free Right Now

@San_D "Jump Rope Challenge will be available on Nintendo eShop for a limited time until the end of September 2020." Which makes it sound like they'll remove it after, but that's kind of weird, right?

@Heavyarms55 It's a covid game, basically: "Jump Rope Challenge was created by a small group of Nintendo developers at home, to encourage exercise breaks at home."

Re: Best Cheap Nintendo Switch Games - Switch eShop Deals (Europe)

My (cheap) hidden gem ATM is "Rage in Peace". A moving experience disguised as a rage game (with lots of checkpoints, mind you.)

Its soundtrack is fantastic, too. For less than 5€ it's well worth it IMO.

PS: If someone at Nintendo Life could review it, that'd be neat. I feel like other reviewers never got past the second level.

Re: This New Controller Designed For Smash Bros. Ultimate Is A Hit On Kickstarter

> "While we did surpass our funding goal on Kickstarter, we feel we need to make some adjustments to improve the overall layout, design and functionality of the Duelist controller."

I did think the placement of their S button was kind of dumb.
