I was really hoping for Expedition 33 to show up today. Also, there was a bit of hype (even the last NLife prediction poll) around FF XIV showing up. Was hoping at least for Elden Ring or Mina the Hollower release dates. Got nothing I was hoping for. Super disappointed.

Fantasy Life i is easily my #1 Switch GOTY. So much fun, so much to do, the exact game I look for on a hybrid console. Xenoblade X is a close #2. For overall GOTY, Expedition 33 takes the crown.

DROP THE.... oh, wait, that's pretty reasonable. Thanks, Nintendo!

Of course THIS is what pops up on my screen while I'm scrolling through at work on a break. Now I know to treat NintendoLife as NSFW, hahah.

Are there any cooperative game modes like the river rafting from Super Mario Party?

How is Unicorn Overload not on this list?!

Xenoblade 4 or Xenoblade X2 I would be thrilled with! Or really anything this studio makes for that matter.

I'm still working on the Game Boy Advance. I'm hoping in a few more years once I clear my backlog, I can finally move onto the Nintendo DS.

Cool, it looks just like Rune Factory in many ways! Wonder why this isn't just Rune Factory 6?

"Physics still don't quite feel right." That's all I needed to hear, thanks. Strong pass.

@DarkTron Thank you so much.

The link isn't working for me unfortunately. Does it say anywhere what the dimensions are for the bases of the bulborb and pikmin? (I'm wondering if I can use these figures in a D&D campaign).

Man, I just wish they could get back to the feel of those GameCube physics. It's good if this game feels closer than the other recent titles, but still a bummer that it is not "quite" up to snuff.

I would love to see FFXIV on the Switch 2. Despite having poured most of my MMO hours into WoW, I do think FFXIV as it exists now is the best MMO ever made.

Tal Tal Mountain from Link's Awakening. Would love to see the Windfish's Egg up at the top!

Awesome. Now that my preorder was cancelled, I can watch someone else play it instead of playing it myself. Thanks Nintendo!

@Maubari Agree to disagree, my friend. I do believe they are as bad as I said and I don't have to defend an opinion. Glad you enjoyed them!

Please, PLEASE ditch the unfinished, buggy, glitchy, performance-issue-laden, unpolished MESS that was Scarlet and Violet. First time I ever couldn't finish a mainline Pokemon game because it was so hideously awful. I expect more from Game Freak and Nintendo. As a long-time fan, it’s disheartening to see the series I love treated with such little care.

Mario is Missing :'(

100000000% yes. Currently my GOTY and it's not even close.

"Bend and slap" made me literally LOL. Nice review!

Absolutely awesome game. Just pure fun! Once I did beat it though, I didn't necessarily feel compelled to go back for more runs (like I did in Slay the Spire and Hades).

I fully anticipate this game being in GOTY conversations for this year.

The fact that we have to purchase each one individually and it takes several minutes to get a whole set is just absurd. And now they still insist on charging Platinum points for these?! How can Nintendo be so backwards when it comes to online?

"Shantae and the Hidden Palace" would make for a good new Switch game... 😂

@jco83 Let's Go Pichu and Togepi is a really good guess. My vote is for that one to be the most likely.

This looks really cool actually! Reminds me of For The King a little bit, which was a ton of fun on Switch. Will be keeping my eye on this one!

Welp, sounds like a skip to me!

Wow, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Seriously cannot wait to get back into this game!

This is the reason I was waiting for to get back into Splatoon 3!

Good! Pokemon has been sitting on its laurels for too long. It's past time for other game developers to push them to do better.

As you can see in the comments, this game is incredibly polarizing. It was one of my favorite games of 2023.. and for others, it was a massive disappointment. For what it's worth, I do agree that the story was pretty much nonexistent, but the combat (and the art) were awesome and that's what I care about most in my Fire Emblem games.

Man, I loved Papers, Please. Just a fantastic, dystopian game. The mechanics for this one may be loosely based on it, but.. that's about it.

Oh no, this fantasy violence might be too much for me to handle! /s

At least it's confirmed, so there's no false hope next go around. Thanks for the memories, E3! Onward and upward.

Wow, consider me intrigued! 😊

Completely agree with others saying Ultimate Deluxe to Switch 2 as the next step. Add like 2-3 echo fighters or new characters and a new mode and there you have it!

Disagree with some of the above comments - I thought this looked absolutely fantastic.

Wow, that's a nice surprise to be sure! Very much hoping for DK64 and Diddy Kong Racing to come next.

OG Paper Mario for me!

WarioWare is an AUTOMATIC day one purchase for me. Despite all the negative feedback that "Get It Together" got, I absolutely love that game too. In fact... there's never been a WarioWare game that hasn't hit for me. Bring it on!!!!!

Zubat is on the list, but not Drifblim (who abducts innocent children), Spiritomb (a collection of evil spirits), or Shedinja (a literal floating shell of a giant dead insect)? Come on, man! 😂

Heh. That's actually pretty neat!

The first one was a lot of fun! The constant DLC got annoying very quick though...

Goth Shiver... that is all.

Absolutely enjoyed the heck out of this game, but taking a break for now to enjoy some other titles.

I remember when he said 1.5 would be the final update. We are so beyond gifted with this game!

For what it's worth my Pokemon Bank app says "?47 days free trial remaining", so maybe they'll keep it up for 47 more days?

This announcement got me. One of my all-time favorites! So happy Nintendo is shedding the spotlight on the turn-based Mario RPGs again.
