Captain Toad is simply not a platformer and it needs to be removed. Take it off and add Tinykin

Did anyone here actually play Abzu? It was super boring, you just slowly swam straight for hours.

I just got finished playing Pikmin 4 this Sunday morning myself

Looks decent!

@kryz and somehow after two years you're the first comment to point that out! I was shocked to see it described as a roguelite as well, there's nothing about the game that could fit into that category. Losing your money when dying makes it closer to being a souls-like than anything

@grailUK @coalescence you two are thinking the clearest about this out of anyone here

If they want their next system to succeed like the Switch, they need to wait at least another year, maybe more

How about Pepper Grinder? Or Penny's Big Breakaway?

2024 has a lot to look forward to already

This article is probably the best thing that could have ever happened to obscure shovelware like this.

@TheImperfectInsider but of course review sites like NintendoLife are usually given access to games prior to release.

The fact that it's released already and no download codes were provided to reviewers isn't a great sign

What's up with the Outer Wilds port, NintendoLife? It's got over 20% of the vote above, but there's not a peep from any news sites anywhere about quality of the Switch version

Game artists only make $48K a year in Japan while working for one of the world's largest videogame companies? That seems low. Google says that's around the average salary in Japan

That looks fantastic

I never played the first but this is kind of a weird review. I definitely felt the "one more go" feel as I would reach each checkpoint and refill my energy + buy new upgrades

Also the music in this game is great. Not sure why the reviewer wanted "thoughtful ambient" music for an action packed kitty-themed sci fi shmup, but the music is one of the strong points of the game.

Funnily, 7/10 is a perfect score for the game ha. I just found the specific complaints here didn't match my personal experience

I find it kind of silly that the release of what many call one of the best games ever made is a sign that Nintendo needs a new console. One of the best games of all time is on Switch. Let that sink in for a second.

And if we're being realistic, it is very unlikely that Nintendo's next console will be more powerful than a PS5. So, in that case even an upgraded Switch would still be old tech. How long will everyone demanding a new console be happy with something like that? Pretty soon even something as powerful as a base PS4 is going to be woefully inadequate in the eyes of those who live on the cutting edge

YES. It's 2023 and there is a Mario Movie with Chris Pratt voicing Mario now. And it worked! We're not in the same era anymore.

It's awkward that Link never says anything. He needs a voice

I also kind of feel like this shows how dangerously close we could have been to another video game movie disaster had Miyamoto not heavily involved himself in Hollywood's process

I think I now know how long time OG Star Wars fans felt when they first heard the word Midichlorian....

I think it'll be a really cool game.

... But I also think it's going to be one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the Zelda series, especially after the insane heights that were achieved by the original and that this game is being expected to meet or exceed.

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed I'm on board with that theory. I don't believe Nintendo has poured the entirety of the Zelda team's development resources into making this sequel.

The difference in the Switch version is "ALMOST negligible from a gameplay standpoint"

Wow. That doesn't build much confidence, but at least he's honest, I guess

I've played about an hour and... Yeah it's got some problems. And, no, it's definitely not the 3D platformer I had been hoping it would be.

But (at least at this point in the game) 3/10 is extremely harsh. I've enjoyed what I've played so far and look forward to playing more

I had zero anticipation for a Metroid Prime "remaster" when the rumors first surfaced months ago. I just finished the game on Wii U in 2020 and didn't need a slightly up-res'd version of the same game.

But then I saw the amount of work that went into making this remaster feel fresh again. I bought it the day after it was announced.

Thanks to this article I've discovered a wealth of great side content in Xenoblade 3. Previously I had played only a handful of early game side quests that were frankly kind of boring and awful. I decided they just weren't worth the time. Now though I've gone back and have been immersed in cool and interesting side quests for several hours already, and I can see that I've only scratched the surface, too. Thanks for helping me get even more out of the game!

Nintendolife pulled their punches with this score. They've been way harsher on games with serious bugs and performance issues before

End of year sales are consistently better than Black Friday

Cool, looks good. Any other games not releasing on Switch we should know about?

I didn't like this when it was first revealed since it looked uncomfortably similar to A Short Hike. This trailer shows a lot more of what makes this game unique, though. Could be fun

I was gonna poke fun at the numerous delays this game has seen, but they already took care of that with their trailer!

I've been looking forward to this one for a long time, hope it turned out like the creator envisioned

Low difficulty sounds like a big negative but honestly the difficulty / complexity is the one thing that kept me away from long play sessions of the original. After a while it became more tiring than relaxing.

Metroid Prime had voice work?

I played through all of Macbat 64 and felt something similar to enjoyment, so I would probably like this

Fun fact! An early version of the mushroom level seen in the Kiwi 64 trailer is playable as an unlockable secret in Macbat 64.

I would be very pleased if a new Playtonic game were to be announced soon

What was the embarrassing oversight?

That thing looks like an owl to you? Funny how that works. I look at it and see some sort of wild dog-like creature with a muzzle and long ears.

This looks and sounds a lot like Planet Alpha to me.

Great article, I love point and clicks and always will! Hope this will be another great adventure to remember

This is really how the game should have been introduced to the world.

I still have serious doubts about the final product, but this trailer does a lot to combat the negative impression the first few reveals created for me

Did the graphics in this game always look like this? I didn't realize it was all so lo-fi

Wow didn't expect to see a review of this one on Nintendolife! Thanks for filling in some of the gaps about what we can expect from the game 👍🏻

Looks a little different from your average metroidvania. Sometimes that's enough for me! I'll watch out for this one

Coming from a guy that loves all types of games, this was painfully boring. Don't believe the hype!

I watched that trailer and still have next to no clue how this game will be played.

Owlboy was awesome though (go play it if you haven't already!)

Sega's just gonna act like that first world premiere never actually happened then, huh

Dang... Distinction out of 10? Impressive

Sign me up! I love these interactive story games that Annapurna specializes in.

@Tandy255 yeah you do! That's a great game and it looks and runs real nice on Switch

If there really is some cool new mode or content, wouldn't it have made sense to hype up said cool things a little earlier than a few weeks from launch? Seeing as how they saw fit to announce the game over a year and a half ago and all...

"It feels almost impossible to aim the gun" sounds like something that probably should have made the list of cons at the end haha

Jokes aside the look of this game reminds me of Bug on the Saturn

What was this reviewer smoking?? Supraland is great.

And for all those wondering if the Switch port is a mess... It's not. There's zero frame rate issues and no pop in. The worst thing I can tell technically is that textures seem a little bland in some areas, but I'm not sure if that's just
Supraland thing or a Switch thing.

Now if only we could get the DLC on Switch!

@dugan this one has a new publisher though, so they might choose to give it better sales.

In fact, up until a few days ago the original was still priced ten dollars more than this sequel

... But how does it compare to the first? Redout 1 was a notoriously awful port job for Switch, yet it scored 7/10 on this site
