@Axecon trademark renewals mean absolutely nothing, there have been plenty of times where Nintendo renewed a trademark for an old game of theirs and nothing came out of those
I backed the game on Kickstarter so I'll be getting a code for the Switch version but I also bought it on Steam because I didn't want to wait and I had a fantastic time with it, can't recommend it enough, one of my favorite games of this year
I've also been playing Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble thanks to the latest update, the new modes for the Adventure Mode have been pretty fun (although I wish they just added a regular arcade mode already, No Miss Challenge doesn't exactly count as good replacement even though I enjoy it) and the new levels are some of the hardest in the series and I love that Aside from that I also started Crypt Custodian, played about 1/4 of it and I'm really liking it so far Have a good weekend everyone
oh hey, that footage of DKC Returns HD at the end is new And comparing that to the reveal trailer it looks like they fixed a lot of the visual quirks that were in that reveal trailer
@rio_j this is from the OPTIONAL easy mode the 3DS version had, the original mode was still there and I'm 100% sure it'll still be in the Switch version
it would be nice if one of those post launch improvements was giving the characters different movesets so they're not just skins and nothing more but I kinda doubt it's gonna happen
day one, it'll be nice to finally have a version that runs at 60 fps with normal controls and the 3DS extra levels I still have no idea why they thought shaking the Wii remote to roll in the Wii version was a good idea
most of these just feel like gimmicks for the sake of having a gimmick
the only ones I would be ok with are USB-C port on top and StreetPass but even then I don't see them as necessary or even worthwhile additions
one thing people are forgetting is that Prime 1 remaster was rated two whole years before release, so if they are remastering the other two games in the same vein then I can see Prime 2 remaster being released next year easily
@Woodyshoe Reboot It has a remake of this game that has new machanics and is a bit more beginner friendly, plus it has a Sharp X68000 port of the original
people seeing a Switch game releasing in march 2025 now how can I make it about Switch 2? seriously people, stop, Switch 2 announcement will happen when it happens and making stupid predictions won't make it come sooner
ok so it's not just me I've been having issues with the battery draining faster than usual and games/updates not downloading when in sleep mode, I didn't notice any overheating issues but my friend did I hope Nintendo will fix these issues soon
ok but when will they update it to run at 60fps instead of 50 and add the extended match options from the newest version? this is the main drawback of this version right now, for some reason they based it on the 2012 (or 2013, not entirely sure) version instead of the 2020 version which is just weird, I don't understand why they did that
if it's releasing next year (which I'm convinced it is given how there isn't even a release window for this) then it's 100% launching on Switch 2 and not Switch 1
it's probably beyond the scope of this collection but it would be nice if they added an option to play Dawn of Sorrow with the luck stat fixed, as it's famously broken in that game, same with Aria of Sorrow in the Advance Collection
I'm gonna wait and see if they add Tetris Plus games to this as the other games don't interest me, neither does the museum aspect given how The Tetris Company is the same company that changed the origin date of Tetris back in 2009 just because they felt like running a 25th anniversary campaign that year, so who knows if anything in the museum part of this collection will be in any way accurate to the history of Tetris
still now convinced, I don't see these extra modes holding up after a few playthroughs, like I said elsewhere I wish they just focused on the main mode
@Max_the_German the file size is too big for it to be related to streaming, all streaming apps are less than half a gigabyte, just look up the cloud games available on Switch
after playing Climax for a long time it's a bit hard for me to go back to this one but it's still a pretty good game and way better than SNES, Maximum Velocity or 99 imo
I'm sure everyone will listen and nothing will get leaked, just like everyone listened when they asked them to not leak anything from the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Playtest... oh wait...
@Zeebor15 they closed down in 2001 but a different company named Blue Planet Software was funded in 1996 as a successor to Bullet-Proof Software (don't ask me how a company funded in 1996 is a successor to a company that closed 5 years later, i don't know) and in 2020 that company got rolled into The Tetris Company
"but it's nice to see Luigi with a role slightly beefier than the 'look scared and follow Big Bro.' one he usually has" Luigi always had the best special attacks in these games, what are you talking about Nintendo Life?

Re: Rumour: One Of Kirby's 3DS Titles Will Return Next Year, It's Claimed
if this is real then I'd be worth it just so they can add an option to put jump on B and attack on Y
Re: Video: Let's Discuss The Big Question: What The Heck Is Happening At Nintendo Right Now?
