Good. Games like this are meant to be enjoyed on your own terms and anyone who wants to be bothered by how another gamer enjoys their time can die mad about it. Spot on Tandoori. @KateGray Thank you for this piece. Not only is it interesting to get a different perspective (one that I can relate too, no less) but it attracted a swarm of obnoxious, self-righteous, judgmental jack***es which gave me the opportunity to play my fave NL game, " How many times in one day can I use the ignore button". Needless to say, I lost count. 👍😁
A "Dream Game"? More like a nightmare if some corners of the internet are to be believed 😋. In all seriousness, CD Project Red get my respect for having The Witcher 3 on the Switch with all DLC on the cart, which is more than can be said for other developers. I'll take Sakurai's word for it, considering the amount of games he's made to the 0 games I've made. Personally, I can't imagine it on Switch if PC and next-gen consoles have problems with it. Perhaps the oft-rumoured but never confirmed Switch "Pro", maybe.
If it was an option, N64 with its top loading design and 4 controller ports for same room multiplayer madness. My mates and I did too many all-nighters thanks to Goldeneye 007. From the list though, New 3DS XL SNES edition, two great consoles rolled into one.
@Zidentia Sweeet. I'd love to get a cocktail table arcade machine with Pac-Man, Galaga and the rest. Don't get me started on pinball. Addams Family, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future -sighs- I wish I had a time travelling DeLorean.
@Zidentia You got one for your wife? Or was it a gift that benefits you more?😋😉😁 Jokes aside, you're both very lucky to share the same interest. I'd have a stuff load of sucking up to my missus before I get my hands on a cabinet lol. You've cleared up my concerns regarding it, so thank you very much. Time to fill up the piggy bank.
@Friendly Thanks for that. I like RGT85, it's because of him I downloaded Warface, Warframe and Vigor. He has an energy and delivery that appeals to me. Cheers.
I want one of these. Played the heck out of KI and KIGold. I can still hear C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! ringing in my ears. Anyone know about the quality of their cabinets?
Happy B'day NLife and thanks for the many years of news and reviews. Once ONM in Australia stopped back in Dec'13 you became the go to place for Nintendo content. Cheers, and here's to 15 more years.
Wow, what a surprise. Good on you Tom. Thanks for the informed reviews and insightful editorials over the years. It's sad to see you go but great to see you'll still be working in the industry. Best of luck on your future endeavours.
I hope to never be a hardcore gamer if being a hardcore gamer means you're overly-sensitive, defensive, presumptuous and condescending towards other gamers.
What a terrible situation to be in. I feel sorry for the dev. The game is still up on the aussie eShop, needless to say I bought it. From the 2 levels I played, money well spent.
@JaxonH Thanks for clearing up what would have eventually been an issue for me, which Fates game to start with? From what I've read of both paths, Conquest interests me more.
@JaxonH Thanks for the recommendation mate. Considering the good reception Awakening received upon release, I'd be more than happy to give it a shot seeing that it's FE noob friendly.
I couldn't get into the FE ambassador game on 3DS but I'm enjoying SMTIV so I'm pleased to see it's more SMT than FE (sorry FE fans). I'll be grabbing myself a copy. Good review.
@ThanosReXXX The comment on their name was not meant to be taken seriously mate, just a humorous, albeit juvenile, observation alluding to VD being an acronym for something not nice. In no way does it reflect my thoughts on the devs and their games. I figured the studio name was related to the devs name somehow, thanks for clearing that up in one of your other posts.
No disrespect to the devs as they're a dedicated bunch, but their studio name sounds like something you wake up with after a very bad bachelor party O.o Name's aside, I'm very curious. Nice mix of elements, nice looking car. This reminds me I really should buy IronFall Invasion.
I've lost interest in RK. One great game (Mutant Mudds) and one waste of money (Planet Crashers) is all I've got to rate them. Wake me up when they 'discover' the southern hemisphere.
WHAT! No voice chat. THANK YOU Nintendo. No, seriously, thank you. What people type on the internet s***s me enough, I really don't want to hear them while I'm playing. Yes, I'm misanthropic and anti-social, shoot me.
Sad to see they had disappointing sales, and I'm guilty of not helping. Will be picking this up next time I get funds though. If they worked for Rare in the 90's, they definitely get my money.
Such a shame I've been low on funds this half of the year, otherwise I would've snapped up Stealth Inc., Lone Survivor, TWA and The Swapper. Looking forward to their upcoming games. Keep up the good work CD.

Love for Nintendo AND The Simpsons, no wonder NL is my go to site. Great to see other Simpsons fans here as well.

Re: UK Police Force Takes Issue With Pokémon GO Players Allegedly Breaking Lockdown Restrictions
Hmmm, I thought Niantic made it possible to do Raids remotely, or did they scrap it? Haven't been on the app since last year.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Brand New 'Mario Red & Blue' Switch Console
The only thing I'm thirsty for out of the lot is that carry case. That's a nice carry case.

Re: Mega Man Finally Arrives on Nintendo Badge Arcade
The badge arcade is a great little time consumer. Elated to see the Mega Man badges arrive. Nabbed me a few from the 2 free plays.
Re: There's a New Miitomo Update Coming Soon
I second what allav866 said.
Wonder if the "other methods" involve our Wii U and 3DS friends lists.
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life Turns 10 Today
Congrats NL. This site has certainly come in handy for me in the 5 years I've been lurking. Thanks to the whole team. Great work, keep it up.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55

My thoughts upon reading the headline for the first time. Unbelievable. Taken too soon.
Thank you for the fun, Iwata-san. RIP.
Re: Australian Government Set to Trial New Classification Tool for Digital Games
Finally!
I hope the trial proves a success.
Does that mean I'll get to play Meme Run? Joking, joking.
Re: Video: Watch Us Fumble Through The Opening Minutes Of Affordable Space Adventures
Nice Babylon Zoo reference there.
Nice looking game.
Re: Former Rare Developers Will Show Off Their New Game In March
I'm keen to see what is revealed. I'll be keeping an eye on this studio.
Re: Yoshi’s Woolly World Rated By Australian Classification Board
Having not played a Yoshi game since SMW2 or Kirby's Epic Yarn, I'll very likely be getting it.
Re: Zen Pinball 2 Set to Hit a New High Score for Number of Tables Available

Glad we're getting one, and the Wild West too.

Re: Meet Playtonic, A Studio Of Ex-Rare Staff That Wants To Work With Nintendo
THESE guys helped make THOSE games, you say? Playtonic, TAKE MY MONEY!
Their website has the same kind of humour I remember Rare had.
Re: Conker Creator Chris Seavor Reveals More Details On The Origins Of Rusty Pup
Conker's creator you say. Take my money!
Re: More Details Emerge on Mutant Mudds Super Challenge
Don't really care for RK anymore. I'll give a damn when more of their games are released here.

Nice trailer. I'm interested.

Wh-what! I had no idea.
Insert Jackie Chan mind-blown pic.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2015
I'm happy with the line-up but Splatoon got my vote. I hope it's a hit, just to see more games from Nintendo's younger dev's.
