@RupeeClock You can dump roms and write them on a cartridge if it isn't read-only. Meaning that most bootleg cartridges should be rewritable.
@Ghost_of_Hasashi You misunderstood. The software tells you if a cartridge is official or not only as an indication, it doesn't prevent you from playing anything.
Oh come on. Of all the 3D Mario games Galaxy 2 is by far the most forgettable.
I don't mind people enjoying it, but calling it "Nintendo's greatest sequel" is a Grand Canon-sized stretch when we also have the Mario Bros series, the Metroid series, Majora's Mask, etc.
@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.
@TG16_IS_BAE Animal Crossing (N64 & GC) had a bunch of NES games unlockable, too. But they were tiny stuff. But as you said, having Galaxy 2 as an unlockable would be huge. Too huge to be true, I think.
"Nintendo refused to put Mario Galaxy 2 in the collection […]"
Gimme a break already. These people sound so entitled. Nintendo didn't refuse anything, they just chose not to include it in this collection, like they didn't include Mario 64 DS or Mario 3D Land.
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.
@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."

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

Re: Best Of 2020: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 10 Years Of Nintendo's Straightest, Greatest Sequel
Oh come on. Of all the 3D Mario games Galaxy 2 is by far the most forgettable.

Re: Review: Immortals Fenyx Rising - An Off-Brand Breath Of The Wild That's Still Worth A Look
"with moments like a notable credits fake-out and multiple tongue-in-cheek references to modern technology and other games"
This seems awful and pretty out of place to me. This game doesn't know what it wants to be.
Re: Twitch Streamers Banned For Playing Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity
@JR150 So what you're saying is that this game doesn't really fit the BOTW timeline? Is that it?
Because if it is so I really couldn't care less about this game. And I already didn't care much.
Re: Doom Eternal For Switch Will No Longer Receive A Physical Release
Butts on hats.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Updated To Version 1.1.0, Sunshine Gets GameCube Controller Support
So I guess the Power A GC controller for Switch don't have analog controls?
Does anyone know if an original GC controller would work as intended with a 8BitDo Gbros (their wireless adapter)?
Re: The First Review For Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Now In

"36/40 translates to 6/10"
36/40 = 9/10.
6/10 = 24/40.

I switched X and B in the game-settings as soon as I got BOTW, because <b>not</b> jumping with B is a sin.

Re: The Man Behind Silent Hill: Shattered Memories Is Working On A Follow-Up, But There's A Catch

Re: Hori Reveals Huge Wave Of Pokémon Controllers And Accessories For Nintendo Switch
The Split Pad Pro is still the best thing ever. The black Pikachu variant is looking really good.
I like how their wireless Horipad looks too, but a rumble feature is really missing, I think.
Re: This 'Little Wireless Controller' For Switch Boasts A 40-Hour Battery And Fits In Your Pocket
Somehow it looks bigger than my 8BitDo SF30 Pro.
I like how it looks, though. No rumble but for once PDP included a battery, so hurray?
Re: Review: Rivals of Aether - A Surprisingly Complex Alternative To Smash Bros.
I like the looks of it, but gameplay-wise it's too complex for me.

Re: Nexomon: Extinction Update Adds New Items And Glitch Fixes - Version 1.0.6 Patch Notes
Already 45h in and apparently not even close to the end. My team is ~50.
Anyway, I'm liking it a lot! Haven't enjoyed a monster taming game that much since Emerald. The difficulty spike is really welcome.
Re: This 3D All-Stars Bug Allows You To Complete A Mario Sunshine Mission In Less Than 10 Seconds
@RainbowGazelle Those are the three best 3D Mario games ever released. If that helps.
Re: Random: Super Mario Sunshine Trick Lets You Safely Jump Off Those Pesky Bloopers
It would take less time to jump straight to the shine. Come on, people.
I can get people complaining about the pachinko machine or the first hotel shine being a bit difficult, but come on now. Such a non-issue.
Re: Random: Switch Owners Are Discovering Just How Frustrating Super Mario Sunshine Can Be

There's no Galaxy 2 conspiracy, grow up.
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

@HammerKirby Right? Someone wake me up when Nintendo start celebrating Mario's anniversary for real.
Yeah LEGO sets are "nice", but I expect something different.

Re: Review: Nexomon: Extinction - An Interesting Pokémon Clone That Doesn't Quite Stick The Landing
@Magician People need to stop saying this because it's false.
Extinction isn't a port, it was built from the ground up for PC and consoles. Some are actually bitching because it isn't available on mobile.
Nexomon is a mobile game that got ported to Steam. Nexomon: Extinction is the next entry in the series.
Re: Another Sonic The Hedgehog Double Pack Appears To Be Coming To Switch
I clicked with high hopes, expecting a Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed port announcement packaged with the first entry or TSR. But no...
I need Transformed on my Switch, darn it!
Re: Pokémon-Like Nexomon: Extinction Will Have 381 Monsters, And (Almost) All Have Now Been Revealed
@MajinSoul It's a different game entirely.
"Nexomon" has a MTX plagued version for iOS/Android and a desktop version with none of that crap on Steam.
"Nexomon: Extinction" is a brand new game.

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: Pokémon Releases New Looney Tunes-Style Cartoon Starring Scraggy And Mimikyu
Weird choice of Pokémon to use. Also I expected to at least smile a bit, but nope. It looks good but it's far from being funny.
