Sakurai needs to learn how to teach what he knows. Dude acting like that boomer at the office who knows how to do something but is afraid if he teaches it to someone else, they will lay him off the next day.
@tanasten reviews are by definition, a personal opinion. Stop it. That's why there is more than 1 website/outlet to read reviews. So you can read multiple opinions. Same happens with movies, music or any other big purchase you make
There is maybe one good F Zero game. There are plenty of great racing games out there. There is no reason for F zero to get another game. Just make a few cars available as DLC for Mario Kart to appease the 1,000 or so fans clamoring for it
If they are smart, this is a $30 game. Or a pack in game with controllers. Just an odd choice. I am assume limited physical release, mostly digital to keep costs down.
Saw the movie this afternoon. It's good, and if they tweak a few things in the sequel it will easily be superior.
Peach, Bowser, Toad and the Luma are the 4 characters that carry the movie. Voice acting is solid, they feel pretty good and like characters they are supposed to be.
Luigi I was indifferent to. He's fine.
Mario and DK need major work. Both actors mailed it in on the voices. Replace them both and Mario should be more heroic moving forward now that they are past the origin story.
And no more 80s songs. The 80s are 40 years ago. They haven't aged well. Let them die. We have new music we can use in movies. Please.
It's a really odd decision. Our city discord chat this week has already taken a big hit. People are sending far fewer raid requests. And I ignored a Lugia today because I have a perfect and a shiny,a nd well at 525 coins for 3 raid passes and I'm F2P, not jumping in on any random raid anymore.
300 coins (6 days of 50 coins from gyms) was bad enough. At 525 coins, it will take you 11 days to get enough for 3 passes. That's a HUGE change.
@Joeynator3000 LOL, what? Tetris 99 is not luck based. If you are good at Tetris, you should be able to finish in the top 20 consistently, even at the height of its popularity. I booted it up last week for the first time in months, after 1 attempt to get the rust off, I got 3rd on the second try.
I'll give you Pac-Man is a LITTLE luck based, but again, with skill gets you a top 20 consistently.
Someone gave this game a 7/10 on this website? I sure as heck hope they are no longer employed. Even a 17/10 is a low grade for this gem. How it has no sequel given the Switch has a touch screen is a crime against humanity.
I have put 50+ hours into this. Never gets old. You horse race while playing solitaire. It's silly but brilliant. And the horses level up like an RPG. Amazing all around
@HolyGeez03 It's not. Star Fox 64 was designed with the N64 controller in mind. the Z Button makes you feel like you are in the Arwing cockpit. 3DS game is a nice port but no where near as replayable as the OG due to button layout.
@RobynAlecksys Joy Cons are 4 years old. So like you said, it's going to happen. I also have a 9 and 7 year old. I know you were never a child and were born into adulthood, but children simply do not take care of things as delicately as adults do. No matter how much you ask of them.
I do not know a single person who has owned a Switch for more than a year and not experienced drift. It is a real problem and in the 30 years I've owned Nintendo systems, probably 1 of the worst things Nintendo has not addressed that I've seen.
It would be cool to see NIntendo Life do a story on the "best of this sale" games. I know the Bit Trip games are great as I have the 3DS collection. I have a feeling I'll have to hunt down reviews of the rest that I think at least look interesting.
Downloaded teh update. I didn't notice any real difference, but I also am very early in the game. But the same slowness I saw the last time was still there. Thankfully haven't see anything insane yet like I've see online.
@GannonBanned There is little to no blood in Capcom. If monsters don't scare her, she should be OK. That's pretty impressive what she has beaten. I have a nearly 6 year old who can make some progress in Odyssey but still struggles with 3D Controls. 8 year old has way more success.
They keep improving the learning curve to start the game. And with co-op, if you go that route, most MH players tend to be more helpful than be d**** about other players.
Looking forward to getting back on the hunt on a Nintendo system. Had MH World for PC. It was fun, but I like having the ability to go big TV or portable when hunting the monsters!
Day 1 pick up from Best Buy.... silly work means I have to wait until tonight to play.
@Ventilator That's not what I meant by word of mouth. I meant like on social media platforms. I am aware Hades exists because I see 1,000 Tweets about it. The problem is, gamers seldom mention most indie games on there.

Re: Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster Launches On Nintendo Switch This September
Awesome news. These games are amazing people. And there are like no other games like them.
Please for the love that is all things gaming, buy this so maybe we get a sequel. I cannot recommend these enough.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Like Miiverse To Return On Switch?
Nah, the touch screen is barely used on the Switch. Let it stay dead.
And when does Nintendo ever do the same thing twice? I loved Streetpass, and they didn't even carry that over to Switch.
Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Release
All 100 copies Nintendo made were picked up scalpers to be sold. That is rough.

Re: Poll: Do You Want Weapon Degradation To Return In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I don't like breakable weapons. Because then I want to save the really good ones until the final boss battle... and then they never get used it.
Maybe if they can be repaired. That is what blacksmith's do after all...

Re: Talking Point: How Were You Introduced To Metroid?
It was probably Metroid or Metroid Prime, but real answer would be Smash Bros. I have multiple games, but the series has never truly clicked for me.

Yes this, but with all systems. Stop with the remakes, or at least make them far less frequent. Give us new games.
And people, stop buying the same game you bought before at $60! If you stop doing it, they won't come out at that price!
