Gonna say no to this shovelware. Methinks the devs should have used that reward money for game development instead. Not worth the space on my microSD card.

How about fatigue for seeing all the Animal Crossing related articles on NL? Does that count?

Joking. I understand it’s a huge release...guess I’m just not into this type of game to appreciate all the news for it.

Do we know if we need a Nintendo online membership to play online?

Tried the demo last night. Really enjoyed and I think I’m gonna pick it up eventually. My only gripes were the really long intro cinematic (felt like forever to get the game going - yes I know I can skip) and the horrible voice acting (seriously bordering on comical). These are minor gripes though, won’t prevent me from getting the game.

Was it really worth making an article about this? Lol slow day, huh?

Incredible! Well done!

C’mon now...Metroid narrowly beat Pong?! They could do a great Metroid movie with the right script.

Urban Champion...yeah Nintendo, maybe let that one roll over.

Can I use these without the pedals? I'd consider getting the mini for my kids but not if they have to use pedals only.

You would think that with X-mas around the corner, they'd try to get as many eyes as possible on the NSO service.

Heck come to think about it, what are the big holiday releases for Switch this year? Pokémon seems to be the only thing being pushed lately...or is it just me?

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD & MP4 would be day-1 purchases for me. A Super Metroid Remake would be too but I don't think I need this game yet...unless MP4 is still years away lol.

I will say this though; once MP4 finally gets released, I really want to see footage, interviews & screenshots of the original scrapped concept of MP4. I hope Nintendolife can pull back the curtain on the original production of the game. Maybe even learn why it was scrapped by Nintendo in the first place.

OMG Enough with the Pokémon topics...

What do I think of the latest update? More like, What do you think of the latest update NL? I haven’t picked this up specifically because of what you guys (& other media outlets) thought of this game at launch.

I’m waiting to hear to hear from you now that the patch is in. Will the review get an update?

Hoping this fixes things. I had big hopes for this when it first got announced.

I would totally get this if it got released.

At the time this was the creepiest game I ever played by far. The first game I actually dropped my controller from being startled (fighting one of the serial killers in an abandoned house. He fell from the ceiling right in front of me after I was searching for him for what felt like forever. Also didn’t help I was playing this alone in the dark lol).

The music was excellent. One of the later levels incorporated children’s laughter with creepy spooky music.

The dialogue / voice acting was really good too imo. Very mature, some light swearing. Back then, that was something kinda new for a Nintendo system (then again, once Conker came out i think swearing wasn’t such a big deal anymore).

Mechanics could have been a bit better but I got the hang of them pretty good after a while. IIRC jumping was tricky.

Wasn’t brutally difficult but not an easy game by any means. I would shiver whenever I would hear those three words: “The sisters awake”! That meant it was go time Lol.

Played the sequel in PS2 but I felt it was inferior to the original in almost every way.

Also gotta give props for a game being released with an African American protagonist. You didn’t have many of those back then at all.

@Panopticon Did you know they released LW1&WotM on iOS at one point? Not the same with touch controls though; this game plays much better with pointer controls.

It bugs me that we never got a proper conclusion to the story. These were great relaxing games & I could totally get behind an HD compilation w/joycon controls.

LOST WINDS 3!!!!!

Am I alone on this? (quietly backs out of the room)

That's a whooooooole lot of orange & red.

I know this is going to sound stupid but what’s drifting? Is it when the control stick is idle but it’s still moving on screen? If so then I don’t think I’ve ever had that. I have however experienced real bad delay or no response with button presses due to loss of connection with the right joycon. Especially when playing Hollow Knight for some reason.

I could see an alternate world (not necessarily a dark world) using the same (or similar) map. Maybe that world could be the source of that green energy with the hand holding down Ganondorf. It could explain some changes to the geography. Maybe the Shrines & Castle could be areas where you go to switch between worlds. Aaannnd fingers crossed that themed or at least varied dungeons make an appearance in this alternate world.

So we're gonna get an Iron Maiden Ganon this time instead of fighting Ganon Prime again? That alone makes me happy.

To me, Humanoid Ganon > Crustacean Ganon.

Well, I don't see any signs of Rextro being in this game again...so yay!!

Nor did I see minecart courses. Not against those so much but they weren't nearly as good as those from the DKC days.

Ok you have my attention.

@LinktotheFuture And Medusa looks like Yzma from Emperor's New Groove!

The choppy cadence of the attack animation is what bothered me the most, oddly enough. Hard pass. Nothing promising about that footage at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to play BotW in 3D but there's no way I'm replaying through that game while holding this thing to my face like an old school picture viewer. I need a proper headset with the freedom to move my hands how I see fit.

I never got into the Smash games. I think I played fighter games to death back in he 90s that it's a genre I simply don't want to get back into. I can understand why so many people enjoy this games series though, especially with such an iconic roster at your fingertips, but it's just not for me.

Mechstermination Force for sure. Probably Hob too at a later date once I'm done playing through Yooka Laylee.

I’ve never played Castlevania Bloodlines before so I really hope it gets added as one of the four unannounced titles!

What’s Super Contra? I don’t remember that one...was it an SNES release?

The problem is that the proposed fix wouldn't work in a live action movie. He essentially just made it look like the cartoon version of Sonic that we're used to seeing. This isn't a Pixar flick, we're getting Paddington lol.

Ooooh me likey! Gonna keep this one on my radar. Giving me those Contra vibes!

@Arshiya I'm hoping for Raven Blade too. That GC game looked promising!

This is probably the Switch game I've sunk the most hours into. Looking forward to hear more about this but I'm not going to jump back in just yet. I've played this so much that I needed a break (I completed the game but stopped at Godmaster) & I still have a backlog I'm trying to chip away at.

Cheers to the developers though; they've given us so much on the DLC front already at no extra cost.

I'm happy that Retro is involved now since that should mean quality since their past work was amazing but I'm still pretty annoyed about this news. When Metroid Prime 4 was announced, that's what pushed me to buy a Switch in the first place. I just hope this doesn't push MP4 into the next gen system...please let it be the Switch swan song!

@FTL Bowser’s probably my favourite out of all of these. I didn’t think Sonic looked that bad...other than looking cockeyed. To be honest I’d take that Sonic over that Mega Man any day lol).

I think these are all amazing...except Mega Man. That one just looks plain wrong to me.

I already have most of the SNES I wanted through the VC & SNES Classic. I'd rather see stuff like Lagoon, Super Double Dragon & Wanderers from Ys 3...

Wow a 9? I wasn't expecting such a high review after I saw IGN's review of 6.5. I guess it's what you take away from this game/experience...

Trailer looks interesting but I didn't see enough gameplay variety to warrant a purchase. It's one thing when you're showing this in a minute demo but I don't see how this game would keep me entertained for hours...I'd have to see more.

@Trajan that makes sense. We could have used one of those lol.

@Silkyinsect_UK Seriously! It’s like they were trolling us. Woukdnt there have been at least ONE tester with his/her hand up to say something? Lol

I can’t remember if it was MP1 or MP2, but a group of us got together and stayed up all night playing it. There was a particular brutal mini game involving Mario on a stationary bike and you had to spin the analogue stick to shine a headlight to get a Boo or something. Well we all got these huge welts on the palms of our hands trying to spin that damn controller lol. That morning we all went for coffee and compared our palms and laughed about how we got injured by a video game.

I'm 90% in & at the end now. However I've put so many hours into it that I got tired & haven't picked it up in days to finish it. I want to get Dead Cells but I feel like another style of game beforehand. I don't want to dive into another Metroidvania game yet. I'm thinking of picking up maybe Doom or fire up Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze (picked it up recently but haven't played it yet). Then, I can see myself going through another Metroidvania style game - thinking either Dead Cells, Madeleine or maybe Owl Boy. I'm liking what I'm seeing on those 3 games.

Not sure if I'll be playing Hollow Knight once the new DLC comes out.

I'm liking what I've seen so far. Definitely doesn't hold my hand & I like that. I kinda wish though that I didn't have to sit on a bench in order for my map to update with locales I've since visited but whatever. Worth the purchase for sure!

What about that banana game with the fancy shooting? Forgot the name but I thought that was coming to Switch?

Looks like this is THE game to download then

I know what I'll be playing this weekend.

@Fake-E-Lee YUUUSSS!!! Looks like I'm getting this then. I've been itching to play a Metroidvania style game ever since I completed Axiom Verge. Thanks!

Is this a Metroidvania style game?

Castlevania Bloodlines. That's all I want.

CV is one of my favorite series growing up & I never played Bloodlines before.

If there’s Castlevania Bloodlines, I’m in!

Never played that one and always wanted to!

@Atariboy Aaaah that makes sense now thanks. What was the 8-bit system name then?

I never owned a Sega system before but what’s the difference between the Mega Drive and the Genesis? I thought the Genesis was Sega’s 16-bit system. I honestly thought the Mega Drive was the 8-bit one...
