@GrailUK That would be cool, although I would really like a new SMB game. I'm very familiar with SMB1&2 courses so I'd like to try my hand at new stages.
Also, I'm crossing my fingers for a level creator. SMB Switch with a level creator would be the best Sega game in existence. Even if the main game is naff, the community would make it the best.
Pretty sure it won't be 76, since it would have been mentioned during the reveal. Eternal is getting more details at Quakecon in August so I doubt it will be that (although that may be coming to Switch anyway).
My bet is for that rumoured Fallout 3 port or hopefully Fallout 4. I know Fallout 4 has a lot of detractors, but I'd rather see something at least relatively recent rather than porting games that are older than a lot of Switch players!
No Ittle Dew 2, but then you have poopie poo like 1-2 Switch and Monopoly? What the hell have you guys been smoking? That should have been in the list for sure.
Personally I found the first Revelations to be a lot better and tighter experience. Apart from the bits where you play as those two idiots, it is a fantastic game.
I found the second one to be kinda hit or miss. Not a bad game, but certainly an uneven experience.
Not sure I agree with the issues about the control scheme. Mapping aiming to the same stick as movement makes sense, when the other stick controls camera. Also the game is designed for single joycon play with couch coop, so putting on the single stick would make switching to single joycon mode a bit easier.
Still, I agree with the overall sentiment. If you like Worms, you´ll love this. If you don´t, then it probably won´t win you over.
Not that it would anyway considering Rev2 is download only too. Just optimise your games properly and fitting on one card isn´t an issue. Look at Mario....
I can´t say I´m happy with the direction the Shinobi series has taken. Revenge of Shinobi is one of my favourites, so it´s sad to see them mess up the IP.
@SethNintendo Yeah, CRT is generally better. With modern TVs it needs to change the signal so there is some latency. It varies based on the games resolution, but sometimes it is quite bad.
The speedrun community does this quite often. The GoldenEye community have yearly bounties for certain levels or objectives, and if people can find a glitch or exploit for those things they can get a cash reward.
The big one is always one for control room to skip, or shorten, the protect section.
Anyway yeah, hopefully the big reward will encourage people to find out how to do it!
Fantastic game. One of my favourite games of all time. People usually list controls and tribal collecting as faults, but the tribals aren't hard to collect - and the levels are fun - so I don't see the problem. Also, if you use the expert control style, you will find it much easier to get to grips with.
It would be nice if they did a new version, complete with medals for accomplishing certain things (making Pikachu surf, making a Gardevoir shake its hips, or whatever) and with a battle mode added. Would be great as an eshop release.
@wayward I agree. It would be nice as a bonus mode for a new Stadium game.
The good thing is that they would have all the Pokemon models from the main game, so it would minimise the work needed.
Have the main Stadium mode, bonus minigames, and maybe a two-player Snap mode, where players compete for who can earn the most points. Maybe divide the levels into Morning / Afternoon / Night, and make them seasonal too (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). Having 12 different variations for each stage should allow them to include all the Pokemon.
@KeeperBvK I'm jealous of you. I wish I liked it that much.
When I replayed it about a month ago, I was expecting it to be as fun as when I was a child. I was quite disappointed that I found some elements really frustrating, especially as the problems I have don't apply to the Banjo games or DK. I still enjoyed my time with it (hence the 8, but I can't ignore the problems I had with it).
Well, I hate to be that guy, but this game doesn't deserve a 10. The gameplay has a degree of charm, with the characters and the movie references, but the gameplay is awful. Swimming and jumping never really seems particularly smooth, and a lot of the sections are either bland or broken.
The initial part of the game is great fun, as are the last couple of chapters are also really good, but it sags in the middle with some really annoying gameplay. The Rats Tower level is absolutely atrocious. There are exceptions (Lava Surfing!), but it is still mostly bad in the middle [gameplay wise].
Overall, an enjoyable experience, but playing this as an adult made me realise its flaws.
@Darknyht If you mean PD Zero, that game was awful. if you mean the XBLA rerelease, well.... that was ok. The controls let it down though (by being terrible).
I love the N64 perfect Dark so much. I like to speedrun the main game, and variations (enemy rockets!), so I have sunk in countless hours over the years. I love the game so much I have a Skedar tattooed on my leg
Best sequence is where you have to protect Ethan with a Sniper Rifle, and loads of civilians start acting suspiciously - like cigarettes, food, and even ..... cocktails.

Re: That Rumoured HD Remaster Of The Mass Effect Trilogy Might Be Coming To Switch
That is the only EA game I would buy. All 3 Mass Effect games are great. I even like the ending.
Re: Brand New My Nintendo App Lets You Buy Games, Watch Directs And View Your Playtime
Sounds pretty cool. Hopefully they bring it west.
Re: Cuphead Celebrates One Year On Nintendo Switch With A Special Anniversary Sale
You may want to mention that it's NA only.
I'm waiting for a sale in order to double dip for the Switch version and it's still full price.

Re: Video: New Mortal Kombat 11 Trailer Shows Off Spawn With Debut Gameplay Footage
@Kalmaro
Yeah I get that. I love the game a lot, but some of the moves look kinda silly when you do something that should be a fatality but it's just a move.
The game plays so well though that I can forgive it.
Re: Review: Two Point Hospital - Arguably The Best Version Of An Acclaimed Modern Classic
@lloydcoombes Thanks for the update. That info is pretty useful.
Disappointing there aren't any touch screen controls. Hopefully they will add them in the future!
Re: Review: Two Point Hospital - Arguably The Best Version Of An Acclaimed Modern Classic
Considering the type of game it is, the biggest question is whether or not it has touch screen controls.
Also, how are loading times? Those are also usually an issue with these types of games on the switch.
Feels like the review was knocked out quickly and omitted some pretty notable things.
Re: New Details And Screenshots Emerge For Pokémon Home
Problem created, solution sold.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You'd Like Persona, Etrian Odyssey And Other Past Games On Your Switch
Catherine was probably my favourite game from that generation so I would adore a port of that.
I'm not a puzzle game fan, but that and Portal 2 were two of the best from that time.
Re: Nike Is Releasing Air Max Inspired By The Nintendo 64 Generation
Erm, have they ever seen an N64?
Re: Random: Was Shantae The Half-Genie Hero Just Teased For Smash Bros. Ultimate?
So everything divided into four is now either Smash or Loss. Great.

Re: Gunman Clive Will Be A Playable Character In Mechsternmination Force
Awesome.
And it's not that much of a catch since the price of the collection is less than most DLC characters for other games, and the GC games are amazing.

Re: Get Hollow For A Crazy Cheap Price On The Switch In North America Right Now
Slow news day then when you make an article advertising a 3/10 game by your own review just because the price of low.
There have been quite a few major percentage drops recently so weird that Hollow has been picked out.
Re: Tony Hawk Meets Destruction Derby In Collidalot, Coming To Switch Next Month
This bears zero resemblance to either game mentioned in the title. Well done.
Re: Sega Wants Simultaneous Video Game Releases Worldwide
@CupidStunt I've played the DS, mobile, and GBA versions, which had very imperfect controls and they were still good.
Also, check out Marble It Up. They nailed the controls and that's a very similar game to SMB.
Re: Sega Wants Simultaneous Video Game Releases Worldwide
@GrailUK That would be cool, although I would really like a new SMB game. I'm very familiar with SMB1&2 courses so I'd like to try my hand at new stages.

Yeah, it´s great. Although as someone who runs the gamecube WW, I wish someone would find the barrier skip on that version instead!
Re: Feature: Memorable Games of 2017 - Ever Oasis
Any relation to Beyond Oasis? That has a similar name and that was also a Zelda clone that dealt with Water spirits and the like in a desert setting.
Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee (Switch eShop)
It´s a great game, but I´m not double dipping for that price.... but I am tempted. I will get eventually if it goes physical or lowers in price.
Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your 2017 Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards
No Ittle Dew 2, but then you have poopie poo like 1-2 Switch and Monopoly? What the hell have you guys been smoking? That should have been in the list for sure.
Re: Review: Resident Evil Revelations Collection (Switch)
I´ve quadruple dipped for Revelations, but I won´t bother double dipping for Rev 2. Even though that Ghouls and Ghosts thing is tempting.
Re: Review: Resident Evil Revelations Collection (Switch)

Re: Review: Worms W.M.D. (Switch eShop)
It´s the best Worms game since Armageddon IMO.
Not sure I agree with the issues about the control scheme. Mapping aiming to the same stick as movement makes sense, when the other stick controls camera. Also the game is designed for single joycon play with couch coop, so putting on the single stick would make switching to single joycon mode a bit easier.

Re: Resident Evil Revelations Collection Isn't Getting A Physical Release On Switch In Europe
It´s also not getting a sale then.
Not that it would anyway considering Rev2 is download only too. Just optimise your games properly and fitting on one card isn´t an issue. Look at Mario....

Re: Nintendo 64x64: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Good game but the first two kid and first two adult dungeons are horrendous. Majora's Mask and Wind Waker surpass Ocarina in every way.
Still fun though.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Rocket: Robot on Wheels
Next game will be Earthworm Jim 3D or Superman 64
Re: Book Review: Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Castlevania
Looks interesting, but I really don't like the cover art.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Banjo-Tooie
@ULTRA-64 Only on XBLA, I'm afraid. They play pretty well although I don't think they look that much better in HD. Just a bit smoother.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Jet Force Gemini
Fantastic game. One of my favourite games of all time.

Re: More PDP GameCube-Style Wired Fight Pads Pay Homage to Donkey Kong, Link, Samus and Wario
I hope this isn't a stupid comment, but will these actually work on the Gamecube, or are they only styled after the GCN controller?
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Super Smash Bros
Love the intro for the original, with the master hand picking up the toys to make them fight.
Now with Amiibo, we can be the master hand!

Jet Force Gemini please!
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Pokemon Snap
It would be nice if they did a new version, complete with medals for accomplishing certain things (making Pikachu surf, making a Gardevoir shake its hips, or whatever) and with a battle mode added. Would be great as an eshop release.

Ugh, Karl is a douchebag. I'm not overly fond of him.
However, I will admit that he does have great skills on GE and PD.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Conker's Bad Fur Day

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th October (Europe)
Whilst I won't be buying anything this week, I would recommend Lone Survivor to people. I have it on Steam, and it's pretty neat.
Also, if you have the spare cash, Gravity Badgers is a nice fun distraction. Not a complex puzzle game, but you can't go wrong for the price.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Perfect Dark
@Darknyht If you mean PD Zero, that game was awful. if you mean the XBLA rerelease, well.... that was ok. The controls let it down though (by being terrible).
I love the N64 perfect Dark so much. I like to speedrun the main game, and variations (enemy rockets!), so I have sunk in countless hours over the years. I love the game so much I have a Skedar tattooed on my leg
Re: Review: Castlevania: Dracula X (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
What's the difference between this and Rondo? I played Rondo and that is absolutely fantastic (maybe my favourite). How different is this?
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Mission: Impossible
Best sequence is where you have to protect Ethan with a Sniper Rifle, and loads of civilians start acting suspiciously - like cigarettes, food, and even ..... cocktails.
Great stuff.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: Turok 2
Yeah this game was alright. I always preferred Turok Rage Wars though
