I find it rather odd that one of the negative points is the battle system. That’s just how the series plays and to expect any sort of change in DLC is foolish.
@Rykdrew Apples to oranges comparison. One is a roguelite (a genre whose games last hours upon hours) and the other is a Metroidvania which is generally a much shorter experience.
@JAPBOO Because they are new. New look, new attacks, new equipment to craft. I do want to get more distinct monsters, though, particularly elder dragons.
I’m in the final chapter of the first game and then I’m planning on playing the second immediately afterward. The wait to play this is going to be painful!
The fact that they only work 32 hours is a little baffling. Just make it four 10s. Personally I’ve been working on a 4/10 schedule for the past seven years and the lengthened weekends are AWESOME.
@RupeeClock I personally only played FIFA because it allowed me to play as the Sounders and other MLS teams. I’m more than certain a decent portion of players are in the same position.
As someone who plays exclusively in handheld mode I’m incredibly excited for the upgraded screen and speakers. Hell, I’m excited to have a Switch with two functional speakers (the right one died on my 2017 Switch).
@JokerCK Rise’s roadmap only goes through the end of August. I’m 100% certain we’ll get another substantial update or two before the inevitable G Rank expansion.
I absolutely love the concept but considering I have no interest in Mario Kart (I haven’t touched 8 Deluxe since 2017) as well as the high cost of entry this is not for me.

Re: Borderlands 3 Switch Update Out Now, Includes Performance Optimisations & Much More
Thank god! I absolutely love the game but it has been incredibly unstable for me.
Re: Review: Star Ocean: The Second Story R - One Of The Very Best RPGs Of The Year
Well, guess I finally gotta finish Octopath 2. This sounds excellent.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
I’ve had a Switch since 2017 and don’t own a single physical game. I am 100% down with a digital only model.
Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Has Been Delayed Until December
I wasn’t intending on playing immediately (because of Borderlands 3 and many other games) anyway so I’m not bothered at all.
Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask - DLC That Offers More, But Not Enough
I find it rather odd that one of the negative points is the battle system. That’s just how the series plays and to expect any sort of change in DLC is foolish.
Re: Warhammer 40,000: Dakka Squadron Is An Aerial Assault On The Senses
God I hope that’s a preview of the soundtrack of the game. If so I’m sold on the music alone. Those are some sick riffs!
Re: New EA Sports FC 24 Video Shows Off Player And Manager Career Modes
For the first time in years I’m excited about a FIFA (EA Sports FC) game.
Re: Video: We Share Our Thoughts On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom After 100+ Hours In The Game
@ChakraStomps Thank you for reminding me of the Dayseeker song “Dreamstate”! God, I love Dayseeker.
On topic, I’m almost 120 in and TOTK is easily my all time favorite game. It’s in a class of it’s own.
Re: Feature: Our 17 Favourite Dogs In Games - Canine Companions & Memorable Mutts
Lack of Yamper is absolutely criminal!
Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year Of 2023 So Far?
For my money Tears of the Kingdom is the best game of all time. The answer is obvious .
Re: Feature: 20 Things You Might Have Missed In The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Reveal
I absolutely adore how vibrant and color it looks!
Re: Soapbox: Fortnite On Switch Is Five Years Old, And I Have No Idea What It Is Anymore
I played Fortnite exactly once after it launched on Switch. I absolutely sucked at it so I quickly uninstalled it and moved on.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Version 16.0.0 Out Now On Switch, Here's What's Included
@Namco This is a bonus update. They made it clear during the stream that it originally wasn’t part of the plan.
Re: Rogue Legacy 2's Final Content Update Is Now Live On Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Rykdrew Apples to oranges comparison. One is a roguelite (a genre whose games last hours upon hours) and the other is a Metroidvania which is generally a much shorter experience.
Re: Rogue Legacy 2's Final Content Update Is Now Live On Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Rykdrew Metroid Prime Remastered is $40. And given the love and care put that was put in it’s worth every penny. You might want to lay off the salt.
Re: Zelda: TOTK Playtimes Start To Appear, And Some People Haven't Been Getting A Lot Of Sleep
I’m at 10 hours. I’ve found the Xenoblade 3 DLC too good to ignore.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
@anoyonmus I know. Guess the series just isn’t for me.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
Once the trailer got extremely gory I noped out. I’m fine with some gore (I LOVE the Doom games) but this is just WAY too much.
Re: Deals: Get A Discount On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Digital Edition
I already used a voucher. 🤷♂️
Re: Poll: Which Was Your First 'Final Fantasy'?
Literally the only Final Fantasy game that I’ve ever played is Explorers. I’m sure I’m missing out but I’m more than covered when it comes to RPGs.
Re: New No Man's Sky Update Flies Onto Switch Soon, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Anti-Matter You do realize that it gets regular content updates, right? Patching bugs is all part of the process of steady, regular support.
Re: Can You Guess The Game From These Poor Descriptions?
Only missed the Earthbound question. I’ve never played it and only have the most basic of knowledge about it.
Re: Site News: Love What We Do? Become A Nintendo Life Supporter!
This is one of the sites that I check daily and one of my trusted review sources. I’m more than happy to throw some money your way!
Re: Hands On: Bayonetta Origins Is Shaping Up To Be An Elegant, Enchanting Spin-Off
@wiiware Why is it not worth $60? What possible justification do you have?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Metroid Prime Remastered
The Japanese cover is messy compositionally.
Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo's Next Console Have To Be 'Another' Switch?
They combine the handheld and home console divisions. You also have to consider how incredibly the Switch has been. There is no going back.
Re: Old-School DOOM-Like FPS Prodeus Delayed For Nintendo Switch
This is confusing because it’s already been released on the Switch. I’ve had it downloaded for a couple weeks now.
Re: Review: Persona 5 Royal - Finally On Switch, This Is The Very Definition Of Essential
Sadly it’ll be a while until I can play. I’ve got my hands full with Xenoblade 3 and Nier Automata at the moment.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gets A Date For Its Next Major Free Update
@mikegamer Sunbreak has a pretty compelling story, if you ask me.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gets A Date For Its Next Major Free Update
@JAPBOO Because they are new. New look, new attacks, new equipment to craft. I do want to get more distinct monsters, though, particularly elder dragons.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - An Epic, Emotionally-Charged Masterpiece
I’m in the final chapter of the first game and then I’m planning on playing the second immediately afterward. The wait to play this is going to be painful!
Re: Hideki Kamiya: Nintendo Hasn't Ever Asked Platinum To Cover Up Bayonetta
@Debo626 Agoraphobia is a fear of being outside of your home.
Re: Jack Move Is A Cyberpunk RPG With Traditional Turn-Based Mechanics
What gorgeous pixel art!
Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak Introduces Optional Four Day Working Week
The fact that they only work 32 hours is a little baffling. Just make it four 10s. Personally I’ve been working on a 4/10 schedule for the past seven years and the lengthened weekends are AWESOME.
Re: FIFA Reportedly Being Rebranded 'EA Sports Football Club'
@RupeeClock I personally only played FIFA because it allowed me to play as the Sounders and other MLS teams. I’m more than certain a decent portion of players are in the same position.
Re: Indie Dev Cancels Roguelike Horror Game For 3DS In Response To Nintendo's eShop Closure
@Would_you_kindly The writing was on the wall at that point, though. The 3DS was on it’s way out regardless.
Re: Indie Dev Cancels Roguelike Horror Game For 3DS In Response To Nintendo's eShop Closure
Why choose to develop for a dead system to begin with? This is completely on them.
Re: Pokémon Presents Broadcast Confirmed For This Week
God I hope we get some sort of expansion for Legends Arceus. I’m not even done playing and I want more!
Re: No Man's Sky Has Been Secretly In The Works For Two Years, And There's More Info To Come
These quotes along with the announcement itself makes it abundantly clear that it isn’t a cloud game. How much more obvious can it get?
Re: You'll Really, Really Want To Ensure Your Pokémon Diamond/Pearl Remakes Are Updated At Launch
@noobish_hat Gamefreak aren’t responsible for developing here remakes.
Re: You'll Really, Really Want To Ensure Your Pokémon Diamond/Pearl Remakes Are Updated At Launch
@Grumblevolcano They literally JUST released the OLED Switch. That isn’t happening.
Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch OLED - The Screen's The Star
I can’t wait to get mine. Given that I play exclusively in handheld I’m beyond excited for the new screen and dramatically better battery life.
Re: Random: Here's The Coolest Switch Headphone Jack Cover We've Ever Seen
Is a headphone jack cover really necessary, though? It poses a hazard, too, if the top portion ever gets broken off.
Re: Round Up: Here Are The First "Hands-On" Impressions Of The Nintendo Switch OLED
As someone who plays exclusively in handheld mode I’m incredibly excited for the upgraded screen and speakers. Hell, I’m excited to have a Switch with two functional speakers (the right one died on my 2017 Switch).
Re: Capcom Outlines Plans For Monster Hunter Stories 2 Post-Launch Content
@Mando44646 They can be played solo and online.
Re: Capcom Outlines Plans For Monster Hunter Stories 2 Post-Launch Content
@JokerCK Rise’s roadmap only goes through the end of August. I’m 100% certain we’ll get another substantial update or two before the inevitable G Rank expansion.
Re: Capcom Outlines Plans For Monster Hunter Stories 2 Post-Launch Content
@UltimateOtaku91 Adding more post-game content is a bad thing? I feel the need to mention that co-op and competitive PvP exist.
Re: New Trailer For Action-Platformer Olija Gives Insight Into The Spooky Story
This style of pixel art is a complete turn off for me. It’s far too simplistic and pixelated.
Re: Review: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit - A Joyful Fusion Of Reality And Fiction
I absolutely love the concept but considering I have no interest in Mario Kart (I haven’t touched 8 Deluxe since 2017) as well as the high cost of entry this is not for me.
Re: Poll: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
It’s extremely expensive and I see nothing compelling about it. I have zero interest.
