This is a dangerous game you're playing, Nintendo Life

I may be inclined to buy it at that price!

Horror games are 2spooky4me 🙈

I'm not expecting Legends, but who knows, it's been a literal year since the initial announcement. They have to have something, right? I'm just used to Pokémon Presents being largely uninteresting.

Those money grubbing landlubbers! I'd they're gonna just do a replacement on the next system, at least wait until we approach its release date. This is dumb.

Hey what's the big idea?? Those numbers add up to 101%! What is this, a Donkey Kong Country completionist run?

I'm pleased to see Wario Land 1 that high. But Wario Land 2 down that far??? I don't think so, man, that deserves the top spot. My order would be WL2, WL1, WL3, WL4, Shake It, and even though I've never played Wario World or the VB one, I'm certain they'd be better than Master of Disguise.

@Tyranexx That's how I feel as well. Functionally, my digital alarm clock plus my phone are more than enough to get my arse out of bed. Despite that, I do still consider buying one of these just because it seems so fun lol

@-wc- This is true, I have no idea why I still have them. I guess I'm just sentimental and also a hoarder 😂

No. I vastly prefer NSO and I am not concerned over ownership. Yeah I'm totally gonna dig the Wii out of the closet and hook it up to my ancient CRT to play Donkey Kong Country. Just give me the catalogue on whatever the current hardware is so I don't have to keep buying the same games over and over. It's simple, super convenient, and the yearly fee is inconsequential.

You guys suck. Suck ered me into clicking because my tired arse read that as something pertaining to Metroid Prime 4. You can take my view but you can never take my fighting spirit!

Pokémon Malamar Version incoming

[Skwisgaar voice] Why are they called Amtrak? Because the train am on the track.

I'm most certainly not an image quality snob; I'll often play on the TV without my glasses on because I literally can't be bothered to wear them. I do have an OLED Switch but it was less an upgrade and more my OG unit was falling apart. The screen is pretty good, but I also have a Lite I play on occasion and I find that screen just as good, takes me no time at all to adjust. If it keeps the price down, I say give 'er

Oh wow I didn't know they were that valuable. I own the PS1 version of Lunar 2, though without the case. I wonder how much I could get for it

At the very least, there should be a tagged by user function but allow the user to create the tag themselves, because I'm sure Nintendo wouldn't create "terrible" or "slop" tags.

That's only $50 more than the OLED, so I really hope that's what it ends up being. It's basically the cheapest I'd expect it to be. Way more palatable than, say, the $960 PS5 Pro

Abyss for me. I only played the 3DS version and it's still my favourite in the series. Know what else I want to see? Legendia. That game is so weird but I have an inexplicable attachment to it and if it somehow gets a rerelease, I'd get it day one.

Those are some really neat suggestions. Bowser's castle could be really cool and totally be the setting for a darker entry. Super Nintendo World is such a neat idea, too. I will never in a million years get to visit it myself so a 1:1 recreation to explore would be pretty dope. Then then darkness sets in, the fog rolls in, and the spooky creatures come out, it would be a blast.

No. People think they want it back because it's a meme. No one cared when it was around then and I'm sure no would care if it came back. I suppose that's as good an argument as any to bring it back... Sure, why not, hardly anyone will actually do anything with it but there's no harm in extra features.

Corporate PC speak, of course they'll say that.

@Elitepatriot No, sadly. I've been waiting for them to add that one. The first one, too. 3 is on there, which is a great game, but 2 is the best one.

Wario Land 2 better. But this one is pretty decent, I'll take it

I'm honestly surprised Donkey Kong is selling as well as it is, continuing to be up top. I personally find it to be the weakest of all the Country games and is not great compared to Tropical Freeze which is right there alongside it for comparison, but maybe I'm just the weird one.

No. RPGs are a blackout curtain, pound back Monster, play until 2am solo affair. I'm just antisocial, I guess

Waiting with bated breath on this one. I knew they weren't going to slash the price on the Switch and there is no reality in which this thing costs the same as or less than the current OLED model. The OLED is $450 here, and I expect the Switch 2 to be around $550. Then the 15% provincial sales tax on top of that.

Precisely why I'd never in a million years consider games as a profession. I rather enjoy games as a fun way to unwind and working with them as a full-time job would suck the fun right out of it.

I still play this at least weekly. This is the only F-Zero I actually like, and I really like it

I don't foresee them lowering the price. Number sales just don't concern them, they care about dollar sales. They drop the price and they cut into their profit margins. It'll beat the PS2's bs numbers in time as long as they keep it on the market anyway.

Should've named it Switch U

I figure we'll get a February direct, with the big ol' [please note that neither the Nintendo Switch 2 nor its software will be featured in this event] precaution slapped on the post

Gardevoir is one of those Pokémon that I try to avoid using because of its weird, too human design, but that 125 special attack fairy coverage is too powerful. It's just so useful in a playthrough team.

I can't believe it's been almost five years since New Horizons came out. It still feels pretty new and fresh to me. Unlike New Leaf, which felt stale and played out at this point.

@Dee123 Amusingly, Ridge Racer 64 just dropped on NSO. Which left me wishing for the San Francisco Rush series to come next

@Yosher I was wondering that, too. Did the Satellaview and 64DD have their own start-up jingles? I know the FDS one pretty well but I know far less about the other two.

Animal Crossing has PS5 in the platform column just fyi

Joke's on them, I have no friends so I will never run into this problem 😃

Booooooooooo 👎

Still not traveling halfway across the country to attend. Sorry guys, I'm not a real fan 😔

Oh nice, this game has great music. I'll give it a listen during my commute tomorrow.

See it's just that I want my games now and so I've largely abandoned physical media. Seriously though, it does boil down to convenience for me. Constantly swapping out cards is a pain and I love having all my games right there ready to launch. I save a little bit of money with the game vouchers and using a province with lower taxes for location, too. Now, does this number include phone and PC games? Because they only continue to grow.

Tales of Graces, baby. One of my favourite Tales games and I am loving this revisit. Also, Sutte Hakkun. The premise is super cool but I got stuck in a stage pretty early on, so I'm going to actually watch the tutorials to see if maybe I'm missing a gameplay element.

A Satellaview game? I was gonna just write this update off but that one seems like an interesting and rare piece of history so I'll check it out.

Ugh he's right, I will preorder and purchase day one regardless. The price will simply determine how many launch games I buy with it.

I value the chaos of Mario Kart above all else, so cram as many people on the track as you can. Online is going to be pandemonium!

I prefer to focus on just one or two games at a time, but there's just so much going on that I need to juggle quite a few.

Donkey Kong Country Returns of course. The 3DS port was the last time I played this, and my impression of the revisit is that man this ain't no Tropical Freeze.

Tales of Graces is among my favourite Tales games, fighting with Abyss for number one, so I'm pretty pumped to play through it again for the first time in many many years. It's still great!

Pokémon Violet to shiny hunt the Flamigo outbreak event.

And I'm just wrapping up a game on the PS5, which I won't get into here on the Nintendo site.

I initially read that as "extremely pissed," and I would have believed it, too lmao

Too safe, too similar, harder upsell for the massive casual audience, so it won't sell as well. Is what I figure they're thinking.

I hate it. Sorry not sorry. The movie design was awful and this is awful.

Yeah I'm not flying to Toronto for this, sorry
