Currently the worst rated Metroid game in metacritic outside the federation force, which wasn't a bad game.

Nintendo might be doomed this time.

"I don't care".

Insert "Sure Jan" GIF here.

This is silly. I mean how can Nintendo Life be 20 when I am twenty six and I remember that I was a full grown adult man when the site launched.

Oh... oh... noooo...

Happy Birthday.

I hate roguelikes. The genre is just so incredibly stupid and the premise of just playing run after run is just an excuse for not having an actual real story, plotline and progression.

That said.

Into the Breach is amazing. One of the best games I have ever played.

Darkest Dungeons was fantastic. The group and madness and despair mechanics combined with really good progression was just gem.

Vampire Survivors is just fun distilled into chaos. It's just ridiculously hilarious to build game breaking combos and kill the death itself at the end.

Hades is a masterpiece. Just a crowning jewel in action games in recent years. Everything about the game just clicks.

Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeon, Balatro and other tactical and card based roguelikes are so well made. Like it's crazy how they can fit the balance with the success and frustration so well.

Oh. And Enter the Gungeon. YES. The combos. YES.

Oh... *****. I might not hate the genre. Ball X Pit is REALLY GOOD by the way. Everyone should give it a try. My only gripe is that it was just a tad easy in the end if you've been arcade player.

I have to buy that UnderMine probably...

@N00BiSH

I would say wholeheartedly Yes to that question

But very well done. Deep dig. Appreciated!

@spiderman0616

Switch 2 is the worst selling console of the Nintendo history so far. It is still three million units behind Wii U.

So... It's still behind even Wii U.

Not boding well for this hardware then.

The little game that could.

Crashed EVERY major platform storefront.

I am playing it now. The splash screen is literally there. Open.

I still can't believe it's here. Well done Team Cherry! All the best!

Will Silksong be part of this special announcement?

All the negative Nellies here are missing a key point.

This is for me and my kid to play coop. It's not for you self-proclaimed "gamers" with strong opinions.

It's for me and my 9-year old to play together in short bursts. We exist in large numbers, dads and moms and others with small coop-partners.

Why is it Beyond Playable?

2D-HD is a sell for me from Square every single time.

Every one of them has been good, many of them excellent.

I really wanna dip into that old school ARPG with this style in Elliott.

And More Octopath = Yes. Thank you.

This is probably the most underwhelming thing I played in years. I don't often call something garbage but this is it.

Saw this first time now. Preordered. Goes right next to my NES and Lego NES and Gameboy on the shelf.

Being a middle aged middleclass with disposable income is way too good with someone who has the life and decisions and morals of me.

Just finished the game. I did give it a 10. It really feels like Nintendo doesn't have a Mario or other franchises now but 3D and 2D franchises and this one goes straight into that amazing 3D continuum. It really is a sequel to Odyssey (or not a sequel really) in the best way possible.

I will be doing a lot of the postgame stuff too even though I am normally not a collectathon player.

My kids gave it a 9 and 9 so far. So we can round it up to 10 because I have more experience

DQXI is SO MUCH better on Switch 2. I started to play the side quests and activities just because it works now.

I did but the link didn't work. Luckily I also got invite from another retailer in Europe.

@97alexk

Most of that is like reading a pamphlet from a conservative think tank.

Laziness part especially has absolutely nothing to do with reality. First of all humans are lazy, seeking comfort. That is not a vice or a fault in any society. It is a very much human condition.

However. Laziness and poverty are incorrectly paired together when we have solid long term and short term studies that it is poverty that causes passivity, unability to make "sound" financial decisions and even deteriorating cognitive skills as well as aforementioned stunted creativity on humans. All of which can be "cured" via strong social aid network or basic income etc. This is not a matter of political ideology or difference of opinion. This is actual thing that happens to humans.

Creativity does not thrive under the need to survive. It thrives under comfort and possibility to focus on your art or craft.

Greed can happen anywhere but within social democracy or other government with high progressive tax systems, social care and safeguards against capital power equating itself with decision making it doesn't gain foothold as it does in a more capitalistic system.

World is full of hard-working and smart teachers, child service workers and nurses that work two or three jobs because their contribution and talent isn't recognized in a capitalistic society. Which one of those people would you call less deserving than hedge fund investors or other stereotypical wealthy "workers"?

@97alexk

Those are pretty much synonymous.

I mean ARMS sold almost 3 million copies.

Being "ARMS" of any console would be pretty good for 99% of publishers.

@97alexk That is thanks to Bergsala monopoly with the distribution. Glory to capitalism.

I will just say that it is INSANE that the price of computer games has stagnated so long. Real inflation corrected price has actually gone down for decades and people are complaining about flagship titles finally picking up on the actual cost of development, marketing and distribution.

It is absolutely elitist bs to complain about consumer goods price range being lifted up like this.

First world problems par none.

I just hope the quality is better than on the original Switch.

I bought mine back in march 2017 and it's got like no battery anymore. Other than that it works fine still.

@Anti-Matter and all others.

Dance Dance Revolution is already in the hall of fame. It was inducted last year.

@Henmii

Thanks. I really didn't see the flying Pikmin even though I looked at the picture a long while

I love the dog and I presume the blue pikmin are still there to fight and dive possibly.

But thanks for the rock info and also for the pink. I might have to go once again check my sight or change glasses

No rock pikmin or pink pikmin??

$70 is a good price for a massive video game.

Video game prices have been stagnant for decades and it was about time they finally got the proverbial balls to make up with the current world.

Anyone pineing for the good ol'days of console and video game pricing is a damn fool who doesn't remember well enough or doesn't know math.

Huzzah for $70 games. Bring them on and let it be done with.

I need Sports Story date!

That and Chained Echoes will probably make this the best month of 2022.

@Dragonite89

Laughing at you, not with you.

Big difference.

"grow up not everyone’s gonna like the same things you like"

says someone moaning, complaining and arguing dozens of post about a video game.

I only came to this article to see the "how does this carbage sell so much" and I got what I wanted.

My kids bought the game and are loving it. I'll nuzlocke it at some point.

We are those that make these purchases. And guess what. We enjoy the games. I know it hurts to see people enjoying things, but I can assure you that writing that hurt down on internet is definitely helpful. Definitely.

T'was a good run.

Now they will surely go third party.

As a teacher, dad of two boys and literature fan.

These books are quite good childrens books. I completely understand why they are popular.

There really is no butt to this joke.

For anyone saying "It's not unprecedented".

It is in many ways. It is for example the first time after playstation was released that this feat has been accomplished. It is the first handheld to manage this. It is the first time since handhelds came to market this was accomplished.

This is how remakes are f***ing done!

2D-HD is the best new thing in gaming hands down.

1. Star Control 2
2. Quest for Glory 3
3. Zelda BotW
4. Final Fantasy IX
5. Front Mission 3

But it's always versatile and fluid except for the top-2. Those will stand there until the end of time.

@Sourcecode

Awesome age. Same here.

I've yet to encounter such thing in my own life.

@Sourcecode

They already did with their new game for Xbox.

Also. Steamworld games are absolute gems. I wouldn't mind if they pumped sequels for just three existing games for all eternity. Each one of them: Dig, Heist and Quest are fun and intuitive and brilliant in their own way and the gameverse behind them is absolutely adorable.

There is no such thing as too much of a good thing. It just means you personally have had enough.

FIFA definitely deserves a spot
Pole Position absolutely

After that I don't know. Maybe none of them right now.

Seeing info on new TMNT game on 2021 = Meh

Actually watching the trailer = Take my money

@Richnj

Limited release and artificial scarcity are in absolutely no way comparable.

You try to make this about being me in defense of something that isn't real. Positioning yourself into the side of the small people is a bad argument.

@Richnj

It's still not anti-consumerism. They don't remove any paid services or give up on any made arrangements.

It's a limited sale. It was announced as such. It is being kept as such.

@Beatrice

You don't seem to know the meaning of anti-consumer.

Should they still make and distribute Wii U if there is someone willing to buy it?

Should they keep Mario 35 running for eternity?

@Joriss

One of the richest at least.

@Nymos

Ah. Yes. The 80 million Switch sold in four years with software sales of 500+ million are definitely due to being kings of bad business decisions.

Sounds about right.

edit: Forgot about being on top of the US and Japan charts both for record times in both software and hardware. So bad at business.

@brunojenso

When I begun I did 4-6 sessions a week with game time between 30-45 minutes, so 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes real time.

As I started to lose weight and had chance to do some other excercise too I actually started doing less with RFA. I have now maintained my current weight for about a month and I do 1-2 sessions of RFA, for about 45-60 minutes at a time a week but I also do bouldering at least twice a week and orienteering and cross country or other endurance sports once a week.

@aznable

As someone who has lost 40 lbs since august and can directly point a lot of that effort towards Ring Fit Adventure I say that your argument is only valid within a very small minority of people.

It really is a magnificent piece of technology and also a damn great jrpg.

Oh. Sweet. Jebas.

Now I don't need anything else until Pokémon Snap.

Stardew Valley is a love letter to gaming in so many ways.

@arrmixer

It's a strategy board game.

@MS7000

The salt is real. Nintendo had plethora of new content last year and they will have this year too. But I do know there is a certain type of people that will never be satisfied.
