With all of these awesome releases recently, I have to essentially schedule what games I am going to play each week! Octopath Traveler II this week, XC3 DLC next week, and then TOTK the week after.
One of my favorite moments of the movie, and one of the real surprises that I didn't expect. It could have easily gone on too long, but I feel like it played for just the right amount of time to be funny without being too cringey.
@Eggolor I have not played those extra modes--appreciate you clearing things up for me and others! Could've done without the attitude, but appreciate it nonetheless.
@MrPKOmega Not sure I understand your comment. The only comparison between this game and Star Allies is that they are both 2D Kirby games... Otherwise, Star Allies has inferior level design, worse puzzles, no challenge, poor miniboss variety, a lack of overall worlds, and no extra modes... it's a completely different game, and confirmed in the review, this is a much better game.
Let's gooooo! Sounds like it will be my favorite all-time Fire Emblem game. Snagged the Divine Edition preorder on Walmart and so ready to play this one.
I know I'm probably alone on this island... but even more than Tears of the Kingdom, this (and Fire Emblem: Engage) are my two most anticipated releases of the year.
I participated in every Splatfest for at least 20 hours total and never had a singe Tricolor Turf War! This would be a welcome change if it actually works.
@kaffepapu What's weird about wanting two characters to have a nice, happy conclusion to a romantic interest that was teased in the show and confirmed by the actual storyboard director? Grow up.
I'm happy to see so many people in the comments holding an opinion I thought I was alone with! After playing all four Xenoblade games, XC2 still stands at the pinnacle for me.
Why do we get a new article every month claiming something has a "Paper Mario" style or mechanic or aesthetic, and it has nothing to do with it? This is getting ridiculous.
I mean the last time we heard something about Sports Story was December of 2019. 2019!!! That's three years ago, and we FINALLY get a release coming very soon. Point being, don't give up hope on any of these games.
Once again we see a title that deceptively, and likely intentionally, draws more clicks than a clearer title like "Happy 70th Birthday to Shigeru Miyamoto!" No matter the lead image used, the comments obviously speak for themselves here and on your other social media outlets. Well played, NintendoClickbai..I mean NintendoLife. Glad to see the legend himself still going strong and looking younger than ever!
Atelier Thighza is back! Of course I'm getting this, if my avatar is any indication 🤣 I'm glad her series is continuing to expand (as are her thighs apparently).

Re: Mario Movie's Jack Black Song 'Peaches' Now Eligible For Oscar Nomination
One of my favorite moments of the movie, and one of the real surprises that I didn't expect. It could have easily gone on too long, but I feel like it played for just the right amount of time to be funny without being too cringey.
Re: Paper Mario-Like 'Born Of Bread' Bakes Its Way Onto Switch This Summer
Yay, another Paper Mario game. Hopefully Nintendo brings back Paper Mario with the OG battles and RPG elements.
Re: Review: Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist Of The End & The Secret Key - A Perfect End To The Best Atelier Trilogy
Wonderful review, not surprised it scored well. Proud to have Ryza as my avatar for all these years, haha.
Re: The Game Boy Advance Could Be Getting A Stunning New Game Via Kickstarter
I just have to laugh at this one. Some great comedy here, thanks!
Re: Atelier Ryza's First Game Is Getting Its Very Own Anime Adaptation
That's our girl! I'm not a huge fan of watching anime with sub, but I may make an exception for this.
Re: Feature: 5 Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Quality Of Life Updates We Still Want To See
What about an update that makes sure you don't permanently lose hundreds of hours of save data?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Octopath Traveler II?
I would like to hear from those who gave it a 1 why it deserves a 1...

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Fire Emblem Engage?
I agree with 9/10. Think your review was a great one this time!
Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Wins Best Kids Game At New York Game Awards
Man, this game deserves this award and so many more awards in my opinion. Best Kirby game of all time, and one the best Switch games to date.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda Should Be Given The Paper Mario Treatment
As others have said, Paper Mario needs the Paper Mario treatment first...
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Engage - Relationships Get Sidelined By A Thrilling Combat-First Focus

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Shares Kirby Air Ride Stories In Latest Video
I have a City Trial-sized hole in my heart to this day!
Re: Sea Of Stars Shares Guest Music Track From Veteran Composer Yasunori Mitsuda
Like every one else, I have very high hopes for this game. Chained Echoes was fantastic, and I am hoping this one performs just as well!
Re: Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - Everything We Know So Far
Celia is best girl!
Re: Hands On: Fire Emblem Engage Is Surprisingly Fast-Paced And Delightfully Deep
I haven't been this excited for a game in a long, long time! Come on Fire Emblem, let's go for a 10/10!
Re: UK Charts: Sonic Frontiers Races To Its Highest Position In Weeks
Sonic Prime may be helping too--it's actually pretty great!
Re: Feature: Game Of The Year 2022 - Nintendo Life Staff Awards
My top 3 games are Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, and Pokemon 3 err... I mean Pokemon Legends Arceus.
Re: Rune Factory 3 Special Has Been Rated For The Nintendo Switch
In my opinion, this is by far the best Rune Factory.
Re: Tricolor Turf War Will Have Its Own Selectable Game Mode In Splatoon 3's Next Splatfest
@LordPieFace Haha thanks, I appreciate it 😊
Re: Tricolor Turf War Will Have Its Own Selectable Game Mode In Splatoon 3's Next Splatfest

Re: Ash Ketchum And Pikachu's Time In The Pokémon Anime Is Coming To An End
@kaffepapu What's weird about wanting two characters to have a nice, happy conclusion to a romantic interest that was teased in the show and confirmed by the actual storyboard director? Grow up.
Re: Ash Ketchum And Pikachu's Time In The Pokémon Anime Is Coming To An End
Call me a sucker, but I really want Ash to officially end up with Serena by the end of these last few episodes 🥲
Re: Review: Chained Echoes - One Of The Very Best RPGs Of The Year
Called it! Let's go 👍🏼
Re: Random: Do Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Contain Hints To The Next Region?
Australia would be cool, but this is a massive stretch. I'm guilty as anyone for donning a tinfoil hat from time to time though so I dig it.
Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In December
Chained Echoes and Sports Story about to be some of the best indies of this year.
Re: Paper Mario-Inspired RPG 'Flynt Buckler Wakes The Sleepy Castle' Smashes Funding Goal
The first Paper Mario article to ACTUALLY have something to do with genuine Paper Mario inspiration. Yay!
Re: New Game From Breath Of The Wild Dev Looks Like A Stunning Mix Of Disney, Anime And Zelda
Looks beautiful and the musical score was very nice. But... what is the point of an open-world dress-up game? (Genuinely asking, not being sarcastic)
Re: Game Freak Registers Trademark For Potential 'Pocket Card Jockey' Sequel
This would be HUGE. Anyone who hasn't played it is missing out!

Re: Princess Peach And Donkey Kong Debut In New Super Mario Bros Movie Trailer
Thought it was fantastic! Officially on the hype train.
Re: Mario Movie Posters Appear To Have Leaked Online, First Look At Peach & More
Didn't think this would be so polarizing, but I suppose everything is these days. Looks fine, and genuinely excited for the film!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 3D Platformers
Disagree with Hat in Time. Felt messy with poor controls and a terrible camera and could not get into it for the life of me.
Re: New Avatar Legends DLC Coming To Minecraft This December
Funny that this may actually finally push me over the edge to play Minecraft after all of these years... I just love Avatar way too much.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best New Pokémon Design In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
I really like the Meowscarada line! Tinkaton is probably my favorite from the gen as a whole though.
Re: Video: Here's An Extended Look At Fire Emblem Engage For Nintendo Switch
Jeez Nintendo! I was already preordering this game for goodness sake!
Re: Paper Cut Mansion Folds Mystery Into Paper Mario Aesthetics On Switch Next Month
Why do we get a new article every month claiming something has a "Paper Mario" style or mechanic or aesthetic, and it has nothing to do with it? This is getting ridiculous.
Re: Feature: Missing In Action - What Happened To These Switch Games?
I mean the last time we heard something about Sports Story was December of 2019. 2019!!! That's three years ago, and we FINALLY get a release coming very soon. Point being, don't give up hope on any of these games.
Re: Fire Emblem Engage Introduces Two New Characters
I know some people definitely won't agree with me, but I am loving the character designs so far in this game!
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto, Creator Of Super Mario And Zelda At Nintendo, Turns 70
Once again we see a title that deceptively, and likely intentionally, draws more clicks than a clearer title like "Happy 70th Birthday to Shigeru Miyamoto!"

Glad to see the legend himself still going strong and looking younger than ever!
Re: Review: Lunistice - A 32-Bit Platforming Dream That Gives Sonic A Serious Run For His Money
Looks like a good deal for $5. And it's a short romp, so it doesn't clog up the backlog. Count me in!
Re: Koei Tecmo Shares New Artwork For Upcoming Switch Release Atelier Ryza 3
Atelier Thighza is back! Of course I'm getting this, if my avatar is any indication 🤣 I'm glad her series is continuing to expand (as are her thighs apparently).
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Leads Nintendo's Nominations At The Game Awards 2022
As it should. XC3 is my personal GOTY, closely behind Elden Ring and Forbidden West.
Also, I'm SO glad FFXIV is being recognized. That game is an absolute masterpiece and by far the best MMO to have ever graced this planet.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Sonic Frontiers?
This is a very subtle way of attempting to allay the backlash of your own review. Well played, Team NL 😉
Re: Review: Sonic Frontiers - A Bold But Ultimately Failed Attempt At Something New
Big oof on this one. It's not the best game by a long shot, but a 4 is way too harsh.
Re: SNES-Style Mech-Piloting JRPG 'Chained Echoes' Touches Down On Switch In December
This is going to be one of the shocker GOTY contenders, mark my words!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Sonic Frontiers
Sounds like a 7/10 will be coming down the pipeline from NintendoLife shortly 😊
EDIT: Welp. This aged like milk. 🤣
