As someone working in the film and animation industry, this is the norm. The general audience has no idea the attention to detail that goes into every frame of every shot.
You just have to hope that the one giving you feedback is someone with a good artistic eye and not some old executive producer, or even worse, a marketing guy.

@Grumblevolcano I just want to take a moment and tell you how much I always appreciate your insights! Do you work in the industry or are you just someone with a regular job who's mega passionate?

Good, we surely don't need another cheap boobmeister ugly AF anime derivative on the eshop.

Can we all stop for a second and appreciate NintendoLife sharing BlueSky links?
Let' move away from the cesspool that X has become.

I'll take 3. Thank Youuu

@NatiaAdamo Thanks for the warning!

@Debo626 Just curious who/what are they and what's their agenda?

It's one of the most inventive game I've played in a while. The Echoes mechanism is like a mix of Pokémon and Megaman.

It's chill, but The Consouls are still king of Jazz-Zelda:

This really cements my feeling that Animal Crossing will be a launch title for the new console.

This would confirm backwards compatibility. I can't imagine F-Zero GC or Kid Icarus Uprising being released on Switch 1 and not on Switch 2.

Nintendo Love Hotels 2: let's-a go!

Company name: Bank of INNOVATION
Game: Tapping the screen

@urbanman2004 Not even, but it wouldn't be the first time that Nintendo takes inspiration from Apple.

Ounce is an alternative name for Snow Leopard.
A nimble strong feline is a good allegory for a powerful portable console.
Also, I'm betting the main colour scheme of the console will be snow white.

Nintendoes what Nintenwants and gives Nintenfcks about what it's supposed to Nintendo

Great article! One question I still have is how long do you expect a visit to need?

Yamauchi was a genius, in the original sense of the term.
Despite being orphaned at 5 and having to take over his grandfather's company at 21, he turned the card making business into one of best companies in the world. He recognized the genius of Gunpei Yoko and his makeshift Ultrahand just by walking through the factory, which launched the business into games.
He realised he needed to expand into US territory if he wanted to prosper.
He had an excellent intuition for recognising potential in people and ideas.
And all of that without ever having played a single videogame.

Acquired did an amazing podcast on the early history of Nintendo, which is worth a listen even if you think you know everything already:

I L.O.V.E. Untitled Goose.
The best example of games as comedy, especially since the player is creating it.
The humour is impeccable.
It's the game I keep bringing out when we have kids and non-gaming adults around.

I'm still hoping for a sequel, like an Untitled Raccoon Game set in the suburban US

Nintendo uses Patent Infringement.
It's super effective.

@RygelXVIII You should start making less assumptions about people you have no knowledge about.
I work in the creative industries, in a pretty high position, and as such, know this problem too well. And watching a few videos of Palworld is enough to see the obvious similarities for anyone.

No pity for rip offs.
There's too much entertainment to consume these days because the offer is bloated with derivative copycats.
Be original or get lost.

This is a Chinese knockoff console!!

1) The photos don't have any Nintendo branding.
2) The plastic material looks cheap.
3) The spec list is unrelated to the photos.

This reminds me of that elaborate Smash Bros fake leak a few years back.

So what's the best CRT for retro games?

Now please open a development studio in Europe!

I was expecting modular race track parts that could be combined to make a big circuit.
And no Waluigi!
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassahhhhhhhhhhhh

Is Minister Sadari Princess Hilda in disguise?

Honest question, where can I buy Nintendo shares?

I'm still dreaming of NOE going into game development.

Hey Nintendolife, these polls should allow for more than 2 choices to be accurate.

I'd love to first see some DLC with other classic games in the speed running community like the Mega Man.
Other Nintendo staples like Punch Out could also make an appearance

I've finally managed to survive a full Festival Queen League and make it to the top 10 last night. Few game offer me such a gratifying sense of satisfaction!

Nice! I was looking forward to the next update!
I was expecting new vehicles and tracks but I guess this will have to wait until the game's first anniversary.

Can we stop to appreciate how nice it is to see Kid Icarus getting some love and get featured among the Mario's, Zelda's, Kirby's and Metroids?

I love the idea!
Imagine the L/R shoulder buttons being clickable wheels instead! 🤯🤯🤯

I would love for MIXTAPE to make it to Switch 2

How DARE you call F-Zero a minor franchise! HOW!?!

There's also rounds of a new GC and 3DS remaster which I'm hoping are F-Zero GX and Kid Icarus Uprising.

Another Eel? Yes please!

I'm curious to read from parents that wish to share their passion for games with their kids, which games they use to introduce their young kids to games?

I want a 3D game that explores the lore and characters of the Kongiverse.
Mario and Pauline could even make a cameo.

This could be a nice TOTK DLC

It's a shame it's made of plastic. I'll keep my metal one, in case of a Blood Moon.

Every night I'm lighting candles in a pentagram circle for a HD-2D remake of Chrono Trigger.

The irony being that most of the people here have a personal Nintendo museum already!

@Eel True! The robe and blazer would be perfect without the giant character prints. This makes an amazing design with a subtle insider game reference veer into cheap fan art merch territory.
At least it will save me some money.

Still waiting for my Mighty Gunvolt 3DS version that I stupidly supported on Kickstarter.
Thanks Keiji Inafune...
