Will they release some limited time games and then delete them? It's only fair!

Oh, so it's not f2p, but it does have micro transactions (Are they at least cosmetic?)?

I think between Fortnite and Splatoon 2 (neither of which I have played recently), I'm fine.

I feel like we have to introduce you all to local journalism. It’s like video games journalism but instead of complaining about Mario 35 being shut down, they complain about cycle lanes.

@TeddyBearSolid I was actually going for Flash Gordon, which is also linked to Queen, of course, and subconsciously mentioned by you in your comment!?

@IcarusUnwinged You can view a digitised gutenberg bible on the British Library website, so it does exist! The text file would still be important, but less so from a historical point of view...

I'm not entirely sure I get the point, though.

Who wants to live forever?

@Tandy255 yep, you may be right.

It definitely should have happened by now.

@kingbk I'm awarding you 5 brownie points for a level of self-awareness that is rarely seen in internet comments. I also agree, I have a massive backlog!

@nessisonett but then we wouldn’t get to read the reviews!

@Joeynator3000 And then you cried for 14 days? What are you doing to me, Pixar?

@MontyCircus It's probably a bit like saying Mario Kart is a Mario game... (and I've also never really got into Pokemon, although I do love the actual characters).

Good avatar/username.

Well, I got to see my wife jumping up and down for joy, and then got to read these comments, so 10/10 would buy again.

@nessisonett Wow, just ticked Shoah off my NintendoLife bingo card. Did not see that coming.

Not had a good OK Computer memory session for a while.

@bluesun I don't think the miners are keeping the chain going. I think they are mining bitcoins in the first instance, or generating NFTs. I imagine (what do I know?) that transferring ownership of cryptographic keys is probably pretty low impact.

@impurekind It's attempting to solve a 21st century problem, but not well. And obviously the idea of purchasing bragging rights on a piece of digital art is different to buying MP3s, but not much.

@impurekind There is a tenuous argument for having a way to allocate ownership of the original of a piece of purely digital art. But this is a dumb way to do it.

@Bearzilla823 It doesn't have anything to do with the storage of a jpeg, it has to do with the computational generation of the NFT. Basically computers solving hard maths problems. It's why nobody can buy graphics cards. And those graphics cards use lots of energy when they're being turned into hard math problem solvers.

@impurekind Because crypto bros. It also doesn't limit anything accurately (because I could generate an NFT of the mona lisa and sell it to you) or bestow copyright or deal with anything that's not already covered by paper certificates of authenticity, and regular property law. Also if the website linked to your NFT goes down, you are SOL.

https://blog.duncangeere.com/the-environmental-cost-of-cryptoart/

"A single cryptoart NFT ("non-fungible token" - which cryptoart folks have declared to represent the ownership of a digital artwork) involves potentially dozens of transactions. Akten analysed 18,000 of these tokens, finding that the average NFT has a footprint of around 211 kg of CO2 equivalent. That's the same as an EU resident's electric power consumption for more than a month, driving for 1000km, or a return flight from London to Rome. And that's just for keeping track of who owns it - it doesn't include the energy consumption used in the creation of the work, its storage, or the website it's hosted on."

@sleepinglion The bubble will burst, and a lot of people will lose money. Some deserving, some less so.

@gaga64 It's about the generation of the NFT as well. It uses a huge amount of energy (like bitcoin mining), it's not comparable to regular internet use. Even streaming which is energy intensive is nowhere near as bad.

Also NFTs don't prove anything. Anyone can generate one of anything.

@Muddy_4_Ever I can sell you one!

I agree the dialogue could be better. Take a leaf out of Hades book, where I've rarely hear anything twice.

I had it on DS, but that doesn't really matter. What matters is value of entertainment / time. And this has been great value by any standards. I feel bad for the people who aren't enjoying it, but we're still playing and have clocked about 1100 hours (no joke) between us.

@jump I know, if only it had Brewster that would fix everything.

@VoidofLight that it's still amazing value for money? You can get a refund. It's called re-selling.

@Pokester99 a refund for 100 hours of gameplay?!

@JDig yep.

My first comment about Buffalo being in NY looks especially chippy as it was copying the style of a deleted comment.

I'm honestly ok with the slight error in this article.

@Panopticon Good news, I've found a pizzeria that delivers to Buffalo, OH (population 401)

Bad news for @BananaMetallurgica you are really not going to like the pictures.

@BananaMetallurgica My Bloody Valentine?

@COVIDberry Good Cheesecake factory. Very tall doors.

@Tsusasi Yep, and this Buffalo is in NY.

@BananaMetallurgica Haha. I don't want to tell you about Chicago.

@COVIDberry Have you been to Buffalo? It's... fine...

@BananaMetallurgica good news, that photo is definitely not theirs! Their pizza is square! Or heart-shaped! https://francospizza.com/

@BananaMetallurgica Mmmm.... garbage....

@JDig unofficially...

@Wezi Interesting, the music kind of triggers my SO...

I was unaware of Robert Maxwell's role in the Tetris story. I'm not sure I want to be aware...

@BananaMetallurgica Well, I don't think that's a Franco's pizza, I think it's a stock image. But the silly point I was making is that food evolves. Spaghetti is just an evolution of Asian noodles. We used to live above an amazing authentic pizzeria in London, Italian families used to come for take away. Used to have deep-fried Calzone.... mmmmmmmm

Nobody gonna mention the fact that Buffalo is in NY not Ohio?

@BananaMetallurgica You should see what you guys did to Chinese Noodles (I'm 1/4 italian, it's allowed...)

Dear NintendoLife, please only post stories about Themes, Folders, and Metroid Prime.

If I want to read a funny feel good story about the Switch, I should have to find it through trawling the internet, or the off chance that someone who knows I might find it funny, prints out the tweet and posts it to me.

Yours, Lt. Col Samusfan (retired)

You can still find about 5 different versions of Tetris for gameboy. Video game preservation will be fine.

@BenAV I've not played it at all, so don't know if I'd enjoy it, but a bit of luck-based gaming doesn't go amiss when you're playing with young people.

Wish you could download patches in advance of physical copy arriving (although it's not like it's a massive download).

I was excited to see whether people would still be complaining. Good news!

It’s not unreasonable to allow people who missed the events previously to experience them this year (and throw in a little extra for the old hands).

People should be more excited about Cheese Rolling items.
