Tulio517

I stopped playing about a day after release. This isn't the Mario Kart experience I love. And the spending mechanics put me off a lot.

It's funny how everyone hated this game back when it was released and now it's considered one of the best. The same thing is happening with Alola right now, and will happen with SwSh in due time.

The question is, are they exclusive? I didn't see anyone mention it during the Direct, neither on the tweets. You know how this goes, when something is exclusive they make sure you know it in big capital letters.

That's actually kinda surprising. I'll get it eventually

3D World is brilliant, guys. If you've never played it, don't miss out

Spellbreak is really good!

I have yet to play Mechstermination Force, but this is also up my alley!

This made my day

Is it me or that robot from the not-Pokémon Center looks like Echo from Overwatch?

@SeantheDon29 I just checked the eShop and was about to comment. I love Kingdom Hearts, but there's no way I'm buying this for $60 lol

I'm interested in a few of the games showed in this. That being said: it was pretty bad.

I just got JD 2020 on the sale, I'll gladly wait for this one to go on sale as well xD Good songs thou

FYI to some people unaware, a lot of people already have the Switch in Brazil, lol. It's not like we're just finding out about it xD Great news, btw! Hopefully this is a great restart and eventually prices go down. I don't expect good prices now, since our currency (Real) is in record low, but good news nonetheless!

This looks lovely, I'll keep an eye on it!

I started following Nintendo closely around the end of the Wii era, so I can't speak for any year before. It's hard to tell, and it's definitely harder if you count Nintendo as a whole. 2016 was a pretty bad year for the Wii U, but the 3DS somewhat made up for it. I don't think 2020 is Nintendo's worst year. We've already had heavy hitters released. And to be quite honest, the pandemic will always be the main reason for the somewhat lacking year, so it's hard to compare with the rest.

Tbh, reading the review it doesn't feel like an 8 at all

I mean, Watch Dogs looks cool

I think there's no going back from the hybrid model. It's too perfect

Bye bye hacked raids, you won't be missed! Also, the Y comm is much better now. I've been getting into raids way more consistently now, without the need to manually refresh as often. Also, I dunno if it's the change from 4 digits to 8 digits, but now I'm being paired to my friends instantly. Anyone that tried to start a Multi Battle with 3 other friends knows the struggle, it's gone.

I'm still playing it, but in much smaller sessions. I just can't bring myself to make big terraforming changes anymore, even if my island is not yet "complete"

A shame it's not coming to Switch. I know most people associate THPS with the PS1, but I played it to death on the N64.

I'd like to praise this comment section for bringing a lot more cool facts about the sales of all those games. Way to go, guys

Yeah, the beta connection was a mess. It will be hard for me to give this game attention in June with The Last of Us coming out.

This game is on track to overcome MK8D and I'm here for it

It's finally over. Thank goodness

I'm surprised Sword and Shield didn't make it into top 20

I kinda liked that Home rewarded my full living dex. But I'm glad it's more streamlined now

Mr Iwata would've been so proud of Ultimate

@Octane I 100% agree with your point of Home being too expensive. But just a small correction: GTS is not behind a paywall. It will be available on the free plan of Home

Luigi's Mansion 3 deserves so much <3 Look at this top 10, everyone. Where at a point where many great games don't even fit it anymore. Switch is thriving and I'm here for it

@Tharsman because no game ever topped gen 1 sales. Over 30M. Gen 2 was the closest with around 23M. The rest never surpassed 18M, if I'm not mistaken

Yeah, I bet this game is gonna sell over 20M by the time the next one comes out

Some love to Downwell, that's cool! Also, I think Rillaboom, just like Byleth, is inevitable.

@dartmonkey Amaterasu is spelled wrong both in the text and the poll

The real frustration for me was the rubber duck boss. Only time I got the game over screen ever

I don't like FE. But it was bound to happen. I'm glad now we the other 6 won't be FE. Now where's that Gen 8 Pokemon?

@clvr You have a point, but again, being a Nintendo site doesn't have to mean they're experts on absolutely all Nintendo games. But sure, if there's someone that IS, by all means have at them. I don't think a lot of people in the Pokémon community realise how niche hardcore Pokémon players are. Sure we're not Xenoblade fans obscure, but we're just a slice of a much much bigger audience. And I don't know about Shiryu, but I'm sure Joe has plenty of work already on his on site lol Edit: typo

@bendicott they didn't ban Gmax because of balance. They banned then because they're extremely rare. Right now the ones that had events with frequent raids are allowed. And next promoted Gmax will be allowed next season and so on. While I see your criticism, that part was not true.

@Kalmaro @Gauchorino I still think you're being too harsh. I swear I'm not pointlessly defending NL like some Pokémon fans do out there. They started covering Witcher simply because it's now available at Nintendo. Witcher IS one of the biggest games of the last 5 years, of course they'll capitalize on that, like most gaming sites are doing right now, even if it's a Netflix series. I was glad NL started covering Overwatch and Rocket League simply because they're now available for the Switch. Both were absolutely irrelevant to Nintendo before, but now they aren't. I don't like Fortnite, but of course they're gonna cover most Fortnite news, even of not related to the game itself. Yeah, this particular article lacked A LOT. And Pokémon coverage in general is very superficial, aside from Joe Merrick's posts (of course). But overall, Nintendo Life is honestly the best Nintendo news site there is. I'll take my Pokémon news and discussions from other places. Take a look at their "Best Pokemon Games" article and you'll know they don't know much. I'm sure there's some Fire Emblem fan angry about some specific article just like us.

@Gauchorino @Kalmaro I'd cut NL some slack. I think it's more a case of not having the knowledge than being predatory. It's a shame there's no "Pokémon expert" on the staff thou

@KrspaceT yes!!! People are forgetting that this time of the year in Gen 6 and 7, there was no Bank support to bringing anything from previous games. And even after bank, Online Competitions and the VGC made rulesets that banned Pokemon frequently. People that say dexit is a good thing probably wouldnt even be playing the game by the time Pokémon Home launches.

@Kalmaro Yeah. Tbh, GF is mostly focused around balancing VGC at this point. Dynamax isn't so broken in doubles as it is in singles. And most of the new abilities and items are tailored for doubles. You can tell they did try to changes things around based on the moves discussion you guys had, but the cost was just too high in my opinion. And the worst part is, the meta isn't THAT different. Yes, a handful of Pokemon are more viable, Landorus T is dead, but apart from that, I still see Toxapex, Ferrothorn and Tyranitar almost every match.

@Kalmaro you're absolutely right. Banning the Pokemon would have 100% solved it

Yeah, this doesn't look good at all

Nice on them to reduce the prices, but it's still a bit to expansive for me. Granted I'm not the target audience for this, I'm a casual RL player

That's so cool, I'm definitely interested

Booooring. We all know Blaziken is the best

I see what you did with the subtitle there

Great review, Rob! Nice seeing you here over at Nintendo Life. I'm glad that game runs fairly well. If you've never played Witcher 3 and perhaps the Switch is your only platform, DON'T miss out on this masterpiece

Count me in on the D-pad hate bandwagon!

I downloaded it, played all the cups available for two days straight. Even got Pauline AND the Yellow Taxi from the pipes without spending any money. Got First Place at the first """Online""" cup. And then uninstalled it after a couple more days without playing. It's not a good Mario Kart game. You can get used to the controls, it still doesn't make them good. They're just bad, no way around it. If you're having fun with it, more power to you. I'm gonna take @Dpullam 's advice and play actual premium experiences, on my phone or my Switch.
