I’m excited for the direct, DK Bonanza and Mario Kart world was the two games that made be preorder Switch 2. First reveal of DK was phenomenal so looking forward to more!
I have physical French version I bought from French Amazon (for some reason they had French version in stock years ago) I bought for collecting purposes and I have Japanese version to play that relatives bought for me at the gift shop at Louvre.
I mainly get my gaming news from Automaton, Techopse and to a some lesser degree Nintendolife and Pushsquare. Not as active reading here as I was some years ago, personal reasons.

@Ultimapunch If you are refering to Vivian, in the original Japanese version of Paper Mario Vivian is otokonoko. A feminine guy. Link to screenshot of Japanese version https://x.com/DimitriMonroeZ/status/1702609443500732645
@jowy_sw Its not about lewd things every time. For recent examples, people complained about censorship regarding cross symbol in the remake of Dragon quest 3 being turned into a trident symbol and dialog changes in the Sonic Generations remake.
@nessisonett Its not like the small impact a minority group of racists who wouldn’t have bought it anyway should be enough to have this sort of impact. Or it would have happened more often.
@jowy_sw If you reread the first post from @Lightsiyd he specifically mentioned SBI detected and DEIdetected. You are the one who called them meme lists and said that list had Civ 6 as woke. If neither list has Civ 6 its not really relevant to his comment about those two lists.
I think Super Mario Wonder is in 4th or 5th personally. Not sure if I prefer Wonderor Oddysey. My top 3 are: 1. Super Mario 64 2. Super Mario 64 DS 3. Super Mario Bros. 3
@PKDuckman
Correct, I claim I didn’t mention any conspiracy theory.
SBI’s cofounder did say to terrify them. Here is a link to a clip of her saying that, which was mentioned in the Nichegamer article.
I excluded AW2 and GOW Ragnarok because they came out before SBI became infamous. Which was late February or sometime in March 2024. SBI was not well known at the time those two came out in 2022 and 2023.
As far as I know SBI was not involved with Overwatch 2. They were involved with Suicide Squad. I didn’t blame them for Suicide Squad’s sales. They worked on it. I used that as a example of a game they were involved with.
So what if Overwatch had LGBT characters? OW2 having LGBT characters does not go against any narrative regarding SBI. You can add LGBT characters to games without involving companies like SBI.
@NatiaAdamo I found evidence SBI was involved with this game. Here is relevant quote from SBI’s newsletter from January "Our friends at Surgent Studios dropped the trailer for their upcoming action-adventure platformer, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU. We had the utmost pleasure of working with Abubakar Salim and the Surgent team on this poignant story, which has been heavily inspired and influenced by Bantu mythology. We know you’re gonna love it as much as we do." https://sweetbabynews.substack.com/p/january-brought-to-you-by-baby-power
100-word limit - Keep it brief! A history of the genre and deep-dive into every mechanic is unnecessary. Concentrate on what the game is about, what sets it apart from other games, and why you enjoyed it.
One entry per game - Feel free to send your thoughts on multiple games, but there's no need to duplicate.
Choose only games that we haven't reviewed on the site - To check if a Nintendo Life review exists, simply type the name of the game into the search box at the very top of the page (look for the magnifying glass icon in the top left corner) and click on the game page that appears. If there's no review, and it doesn't appear in a previous Reader Recommendations feature (which will also appear on the game page if it exists), you're good to go!
HL fit before this article because they had not reviewed it. All it needed was a submission and for NL to pick that submission, which they did ^_^
@ibookboyuk Its not a joke. I do think Hogwarts legacy is a good game. Which Nintendolife has not reviewed. Celeste is a game Nintendolife did review. Unless there are multiple games on Switch named Celeste.
The headline of this article is "Community: Did We Miss A Switch Game You Love? Send Us Your Recommendations"
One of the points of the submission guideline is "Choose only games that we haven't reviewed on the site"
As for why no review, this post from dartmonkey is the closest to a official post I have found https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/hogwarts_legacy_switch_review#reply-04
But people here still clearly thinks its a good game and deserves to get highlighted.
@Bigmanfan @Uncle_Franklin Maybe there is something about trans people too but as far as I know the Resetera crowd dislike him for reasons unrelated to trans people. He follows people on Twitter / X Resetera users disagrees with and might even have liked some tweets Resetera users disagrees with, atleast on another subject than trans people.
@Zaruboggan Pantsu hunter back to the 90s is a gem of a game. We might know enough about HL, others might not. This is about nominating good games NL didn’t review. And people think HL is good.
@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed I think NL wrote news articles about the game until around the game came out on Switch, then they decied to not review it or write more articles specifically about Hogwarts Legacy.
@Nico85 Thats because people are hypocrites. The type of people also defended turning Norse mythology character black in God of War Ragnarok, and later was sour about Genshin Impact daring to represent characters from African mythology pale skinned.
As others have mentioned, more Rayman would be nice.
Maybe not pander to the audience the Star Wars game pandered to, and maybe not simply brush off criticism of AC Shadows as "toxic gamer talk" would have done them some good too.

@YaGirlSkyByte There is nothing specifying the games must be from the last six months, just that we must recomend games NL has not reviewed. If you look at the last of these articles they published it includes games from 2018. For example Deadbolt.

Another thing Ubisoft could to do to improve would be not to discriminare people for being male

@LadyCharlie Or perhaps the people who usually defend bad translations as localizations are the ones jumping to conclusions.
The people who are anti-censorship are anti-censorship.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Chimes In On Characters Showing Less Skin In Upcoming HD-2D Remake

Should not have censored the outfits and pandered to the type of people who want type A and B instead of male and Female.
