@foursider The Bitmaps book series is pretty good. I've got the Super Famicom and Game Boy ones.

@foursider Check out the Lego Gameboy. They've restored the box art for the Lego Super Mario Land cartridge label.

Move away MP4! This is what I've been waiting for!

I wonder if colours and art direction can be patched

@MarioLinkSamus
That's ironic, since one of the proto-internet memes of 1997 was that GoldenEye was a cruel game, because it had to shoot at people all suffering from duck feet syndrome (since their foot was basically one poly).

This season is mental. Why would they releases Hyrule Warriors and Kirby now instead of Q1 next year

18 years... sheeeesh thanks for making me feel old af. Now excuse me while I go swear at some morph ball shaped clouds

Another Mighty No9 3DS code hopeful here! Damn you Inafune! One day we'll get our money's worth!!!

Gosh I love transparent casings! I've been hoping forever for Apple, Samsung, Nintendo or Sony to give them a well-deserved comeback!

@AussieMcBucket
They're based in NZ and worked with this director on the last Apes movie.

This confirms that WETA will be doing the VFX, which is good since they're the best.

Animal Crossing and Splatoon would make great animation films. Metroid would have to be a live action film. However for Pikmin, I have no idea.

Still hoping for some big hitters in 2026.
A new Smash and a proper Animal Crossing sequel would be sweet.

It's a shame most sages keep their mask on. It reduces their personality.

I've pre-ordered it but won't have time to play it between Silksong and MP4.

I'm glad to see so much excitement for this game as I have personally zero interest in it. Plus, it's coming out among so many awesome games: Silksong, Hades 2, Pokémon ZA, Zelda: Age Of Imprisonment and Metroid Prime 4, among numerous others.
What I'm mostly looking forward to is for Sakurai to free up to look into another Smash Bros or Kid Icarus.

I'd LOVE to see an Angry Birds crossover, now that Sega owns the franchise.

NICE! Can we please feature more video game arrangements on Nintendo Life!
On Friday, I went to see the 8 bit big band playing in London and it was AMAZING

I'm so loving this!

The game feels really incomplete, especially considering the price tag. Here's what I'd love to see in a free update:

-- Online --

Be able to choose circuits instead of straight roads.
Allow for random itineraries in Knockout tour.

-- Free roam --

Collectible counter for each region in free roam.
Get better rewards for free roam (like artworks, costume colours, vehicle colors, emotes).
Enable 2P free roam mode.
Encounter and race other online players in free roam mode.

-- Battle mode --

Smaller arenas so that you spend less time searching and more time battling.

-- General --

Make it easier to unlock NPC characters.
Control the volume of music and sfx separately (for music lovers).
Bring back Stats page.

Silksong please
Oops sorry. Old habits die hard

Question :
For each Nintendo Direct (and similar) where the fans were looking forward to see an update, Team Cherry could have posted a simple "Not yet" and avoided the year on year disappointment.
Yet, they went ahead and chose to feed the hype machine to the cost of disappointing their fans, and each time stealing a bit of the spotlight of other games shown.

Was that really ok?

I would hate to be the art director on that game. I understand that there were budget limitations, but that's not an excuse for the lack of creativity.
Just the color palette is horribly bland.
The fact that people are rejecting it will hopefully teach everyone a lesson not to underestimate a good art direction.

I just want to buy my son a little Zebra Bonanza musical plush toy so that he can fall asleep to the sweet sound of "WOO-HOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ZEBRA! ZEBRA! ZEBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

What?! No swimsuit for E.Honda?

The Last Guardian, Shadow of Colossus and Ico would be fabulous.
Also Death Stranding 1 could be amazing.

To be said in an East London accent:
"What a wanko!"

@progx They're not wrong. In 20 years the mobile game industry has produced only a handful of actual great games, that are worth more than a few toilet break sessions.
And these great ones always make their way to consoles anyway

There, you heard it here first

Yoshi seems to be getting a lot of attention these days!
In addition to this release, Yoshi features very prominently in MKW's box art, is one of the characters with the most costumes in the game and is the one dealing out the meal powe ups.
Considering the next SMB movie will feature more Yoshi as per the post credit scene, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo announced a new Yoshi game pretty soon.

@sanderev
I'd say Metroid in November, and Silksong in September

I would have preferred Red, Chuck and Bomb from Angry Birds as there already been crossovers.

@Chlocean Wait what? Since when is Pauline dating Luigi? I thought that Mr L's heart belonged to Daisy?

Super odd timing to announce a game

I'm so happy for you Zion that you got to experience this!

Imagine a DLC for ZELDA TOTK where you discover a realm above the Sky Islands, which turns out to be the world of Kid Icarus!
I really hope this series gets revised.
This is one of the best soundtracks of the NES. Just listen to the richness of Stage 2.

@EVIL-C Thanks!

Nintendolls as a spiritual sequel to Nintendogs?

I didn't know TIGER still made handhelds...

My annual Nintendo Life supporter subscription is the best use of my income. I love you guys!

Not a question, just a thank you to the whole Nintendo Life team for holding the fort in what must be one of the craziest times we've seen in a while. You rock!

Excellent article Gavin!
We would go even as far as calling it a betrayal to their loyal fans and wonder if we'll see them change their minds in the coming weeks on some of these decisions.

No. Thank. You.
I really hope Nintendo reads the room and adapts.

Everyone: "Nintendo please stop using X.com!"
Nintendo: creates its own platform

Oh no I've been pronouncing it wrong!
I'm flushing

@Grumblevolcano Indeed! There are still some jewels that deserve remasters like Kid Icarus Uprising, F-Zero GX and Zelda TP / WW, however the Switch 2 launch line up isn't a place for these.
Now the real question is: should we put on our Silksong clown makeup or not?
PS: Also something something Chrono Trigger

He's actually the golden Daft Punk robot.

Hentai Waifu, I see you

This one deserves a final fantasy 7 level of remake.

Give me an F-Zero theme! I need to wake up with YoU gOt BoOoOosT PoWErrRr !!!11!!
