It is nothing short of a scumbag move.

All I know is my number 1 will forever be Resident Evil 4.

Recent potential top fivers are Breath of the Wild, Last of Us, God of War and Hollow Knight.

@Bizaster

Fair play!

@Bizaster

Don't need to give figures but you get a good price?

@Trikeboy

No confusion on my end, you worded it incorrectly.

@nymbosox

I do, that wasn't sarcasm bud.

But if that was your intention, fair dos.

@Trikeboy

Alright bud let's go through it:

"adding in a way to play a Wii game as intended WITHOUT motion controls" That means Skyward Sword was always intended to have button controls which is incorrect as the game was built around the Wii motion plus so you are incorrect there.

"They are adding in button controls to a Wii game. A game that was intended to play WITH motion controls." You didn't say that first time round did you? And it contradicts what you did originally say.

"Do you just suck at reading comprehension" Well one of us certainly does and it isn't me.

"Putting in button controls is a quality of life improvement." It is more an accessibility option, not relevant to this article though is it. It was also very much necessary so the game could release on the Switch Lite.

"You were complaining about other companies make quality of life improvements as standard, but not Nintendo. However, Nintendo are adding in button controls as standard as a quality of life improvement. You are complaining Nintendo don't do it, when they literally showcased a quality of life improvement in the reveal trailer. As for this amiibo, it isn't a quality of life thing, it is basically a cheat for people who suck at Zelda games."

The other companies have been showing the way yes with a whole host of options as standard in their latest games to cater for as many people as possible. You referred to this amiibo unlock as an easy mode in your comment above. That makes it very much an accessibility option, evidently locked behind physical DLC. It is a scummy move.

We done here?

@Trikeboy

Re-read your comment to me then my reply. Not difficult to understand.

@Trikeboy

Considering the game was built around the Wii controls obviously the intended way was always with motion controls not without so what you on about?

And I am talking about THIS QoL feature, the one locked behind an additional paywall. Stay on point bud.

@nymbosox

Tell me the last DLC I bought for any game?

@sixrings

Boo bloody hoo

@Snatcher

Yes it is predatory for lack of a better word. I forgive, or accept, a lot of Nintendo's foibles but this one takes the cake. It is a disgrace.

@WaluigiNumberOne

Showing my age!

@WaluigiNumberOne

Cheers bud nice to hear!

I am critical of Microsoft and their lack of quality first party games over the last half decade but they have made moves to resolve that and if they announce a new Killer Instinct I will be next in line for a Series X!

@WaluigiNumberOne

Ironically that game was pretty good s**t lol

But with so many classics out there the picks are pathetic.

@WaluigiNumberOne

Well you couldn't pay me to play Halo but I see your point lol

Not good enough Nintendo!

Actually Nintendo Life time for some good old fashioned journalism: Go ask Nintendo how they think this is acceptable in this day and age when other companies are pushing for accessibility/quality of life options in their games as standard?

@fafonio

I have no idea what that is but when Nintendo are charging full price for a 10 year old game and the likes of Microsoft and Sony have being showing the way with accesibility options in their games then Nintendo needs to sort themselves out and have this as an option in their full priced remaster.

They probably won't even give me the option to swing the sword with the left joycon as a left handed option.

I will whine, hows about you stop sucking?

@Rika_Yoshitake

I have no interest in tiny plastic figures.

This one has me riled up!

Locking an accessibility/quality of life option behind some tiny plastic figure I have no interest in buying (we aren't all collectors) is a bloody joke.

Sort yourselves out Nintendo ffs!

Amiibo (certainly the game unlock aspect) should have died with the Wii U.

Really truly utterly pathetic.

These are manly tears!!

@Entrr_username

I can tell you right now that Calculator and Xylophone will be much more fun to play than Dragon's Lair on the NES and that trash cost 50 quid and came with the "Seal of Quality".

Not that I'm bitter.

@DrDaisy

Yeah it's exclusive to Nintendo fans.

@NintendoByNature

Few weeks before E3?! Nah.

Saw the aricle headline and thought "this comments section will be fun" and it is!

Regarding the article, Imagineer just credit the creator ffs.

@1ofUs

Considering the game sold more than 4 times as much at launch in the UK compared to the first game on N64 it would suggest it is more than nostalgia.

Also still being in the top 10 is still doing well.

@1ofUs

Yes videogame does not stay top of the sales chart forever shocker.

Not sure what point you are making.

@Willsy

The Wii U was such a sales disaster that many don't know it even existed or the games that were on it so to most MK8D is the Switch's Mario Kart.

Mario Kart 9 has probably been in the works for years and likely planned for a Switch release but MK8D doesn't just sell, it has been selling better year on year which is madness!

If I was Nintendo I would definitely be holding on to MK9 to launch alongside the next system.

Would love some more tracks for MK8D though!

@DrJoson @iuli

You are both incorrect this is the game's third week in the charts!

@fox_mattcloud

"We" is evidently a small number compared to the amount of people experiencing it for the first time on Switch.

Mario Kart 9 will launch with the Switch successor and not before.

Good game but I think the Wii U version is the best of the "New" Mario series by some distance. The graphics and music are a tad uninspired but the gameplay is as tight and fun as it gets.

What I would love to see next for a 2D Mario is handrawn ala Cuphead, that would be amazing.

I hope it doesn't include a change to the music as it was brilliant.

@iuli

As long as Chris mentions the framerate, it matters to people!

@Cikoltan

They accept refunds if a game is broken, otherwise live with your poor choice.

This app being on the eshop hurts no one nor do any other games people consider shovelware, one person's trash is another person's treasure and all that.

Also user reviews would be pretty worthless, wouldn't trust them at all, just look at this article sure.

@BrunoSpatchcock

Nintendo didn't set the price.

Looks like the makers of this app have played a blinder. They don't care if people are buying it ironically or not!

A few nasty gits in this comments section.

Sad.

Indie games keep me going these days (along with first party releases). So many third party "AAA" games have become boring identikit rubbish I just don't really care about them anymore (apart from some guilty pleasures like Fifa).

Obviously required for the power of the calculator app.

@Snatcher

Probably but if somone was buying this for a specific purpose then I imagine they would get their money's worth.

@Handy_Man

It is not a scam, it is a calculator app for a price.

It is up front about what it is so nothing scammy about it and if people can get a use out of it then great.

If people buy it expecting something else they haven't been scammed they are just stupid.

Difference between Nintendo and Sega is Nintendo has never had an issue making good Mario games so don't need help.

@Mr-Fuggles777

You want Nintendo to double or triple the price of NSO?

No thanks.

I have enough games in the backlog without paying extra for NSO for more that I probably wouldn't play anyway (otherwise I would already own them).

No what should happen is paying to play games online should stop entirely and people should stop begging for free games.

@westman98

Yeah you are probably right. I can see it taking off through word of mouth and getting those Nintendo long legs.

@AchievingGamer

Context obviously. Can't understand your confusion.

@westman98

3 out of the 4 are Switch exclusive.

Nintendo still killing it in 2021!

Miitopia could be a dark horse and break 15,000.

@TsukiDeity

The Minecraft in the top ten is only the Switch version, the different platforms have their own versions (Playstation/Xbox/Nintendo).

Even though digital sales are a much bigger factor these days (for all games) the fact a much hyped Resident Evil sequel launching on multiple platforms did not physically outsell Mario 3D World is a massive shocker to me.

Snap with a very respectable second week drop off.

Another great week for Swtich.

@ALinkttPresent

They played it for 975 hours because it was fun not the other way round.

@BrintaPap

It will get to the point, and I have seen people say this already about games, where people go "I'll wait til it shows up on Gamepass".

That can only be bad for developers.
