@JimNorman can you tell your friends over at Push Square how to add a poll to their “what are you playing”-posts? Yours at Nintendo Life are great while theirs are just low effort without even a poll for weekly trends
@Ability-King-KK ah you’re one of those “E33 is not is an indie game but ackshualky I’ll make an exception for Hades 2 in my rules 🤓”-type of person. Now it makes sense.
@Ability-King-KK budget doesn’t define indie game. You probably didn’t know but indie stands for “independent” regardless of budget. Hell, Hades 2 probably had a higher budget and was also nominated for best indie game, proving again that it’s not about budget.
@Ability-King-KK jeez, who pissed in your cereal this morning to be THAT salty? Really don’t get why some of you can’t live and let live. Always gotta talk down on certain games. Does it make you feel better or something?
@Anti-Matter This game was made for portable gaming like a Steamdeck or Nintendo Switch. I dunno why anyone would buy a PS5 edition over the Nintendo Switch edition if they had both. I have both and would play it on Nintendo Switch.
@Medic_alert Haha, you gamers are such a funny bunch.
If Nintendo came up with a completely new gimmick to try to sell the console on you'd be all "Wtf they had one job, just deliver a better version of the switch!!"
Now they delivered exactly on that, and gamers like you are all: "there is nothing new going on wtf"
@JohnnyMind I'm checking for your comment in every article to read cause you're always there in every article with an interesting comment! Thanks for your commitment!
I also think that "in-progress" reviews are just weird. If you've been playing a game this much that you can write 1200 words about, playing for 5-10 more hours isn't going to turn an 8/10 game in a 4/10 nor a 10/10.
Like many others, still playing Palworld this weekend. My God, it’s so much fun and it’s a shame Pokemon games don’t offer this type of freedom and world in their games.

Re: ICYMI: Paper Mario-Styled RPG 'Escape From Ever After' Has Launched On Switch
@Mana_Knight why not buy it and support the dev if you’re into paper Mario type games?

@Nep-Nep-Freak god, are we still complaining about GKCs? 🙄
Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
@Ability-King-KK you’re so angry that you’re literally foaming at the mouth lol. Go touch some grass instead of getting that angry.
Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
@Ability-King-KK i will - have fun hating stuff you don’t understand at all 🤣
Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
@Ability-King-KK ok buddy

Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
@Ability-King-KK and again you proved you don’t understand what indie means. gg
Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
@Ability-King-KK I think you don’t understand what indie means but that’s okay. Properly English isn’t your first language.

Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2025 Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
@Sindayl you have to be a troll, there’s no other way. JRPGs are my favourite genre ever, and Expedition 33 is among the top 3 in the genre.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Meet The Team
Won’t be buying this with it having such a huge focus on a bigger cast. Shame
Re: Game Of The Year Nominee Donkey Kong Bananza Wins Critics' Choice Award
Strange that it won anything. It’s a good game but hardly better than that.
Re: Atlus To Address Persona 3 Reload's Switch 2 Frame Rate Hiccups In "Future Patches"
They’ll fix it later instead of release, so I’ll buy it never. Thanks greedy ass *****.

Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025
@Oldstalk see, it’ll be €20 like I told you
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025
@Oldstalk in that case you’ll have to wait 4 more days until it’s out and you can see the leaks confirmed. Will you buy it day 1?
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025
@JohnnyMind will you be starting silksong on release date?
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming To Switch 1 & 2 In September 2025
@Oldstalk the price has been known for a few days already… it’s going to be $20

This is going to be Square Enix' Zelda.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?
@MTMike87 how can you have too much to play on the switch 2 already when this is basically the 2nd switch game worth getting?
Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Physical Switch Release Has A Free Switch 2 Upgrade
@ekwcll because people are dumb and don’t understand that at all
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Secures Switch & Switch 2 Release Date
@Patendo right? It’s actively deterring me from buying it
Re: Fantasy Life i Gets Switch 2 Release Date With Paid Upgrade Path For Switch 1 Players
@Anti-Matter This game was made for portable gaming like a Steamdeck or Nintendo Switch. I dunno why anyone would buy a PS5 edition over the Nintendo Switch edition if they had both. I have both and would play it on Nintendo Switch.
Re: Opinion: Not Enough People Are Talking About This Early GOTY Contender
If it had a physical edition in Europe I’d play it. But as it stands, I’m not gonna pay 50-60 euro for a digital edition.

Re: Review: Sid Meier's Civilization VII (Switch) - An Incredible Game That's Not Quite Ready
I’ll definitely buy the gold edition in a few years once the bugs have been ironed out and missing features added
Re: Nope, Monster Hunter Wilds Producer Still Won't Spill The Beans On A Switch 2 Port
They can’t even get it to run decently on PS5… how could it possibly run on Nintendo switch 2?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (New Year Edition)
@JohnnyMind I’m always impressed how you manage to keep track of and juggle playing 15-20 games at the same time. I am not able to do it

I also think that "in-progress" reviews are just weird. If you've been playing a game this much that you can write 1200 words about, playing for 5-10 more hours isn't going to turn an 8/10 game in a 4/10 nor a 10/10.

Happy to see the 9/10 for this masterpiece.
Re: Nintendo Highlights February Partner Showcase Games With New Infographic
I don’t know what direct the author of this article has watched to conclude it’s a solid lineup, but it’s definitely not the same one I’ve watched.
Re: Another Crab's Treasure Is Looking Awesome As It Secures An April Release
Ah it's a shame they brand themselves as souls-like. A game like Elden Ring is too hard for me.
Re: Capcom Nintendo Direct Reveal May Have Just Gone Live Early
Does that imply Monster Hunter Stories 3?
Re: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Receives A New Update On Switch
You know there's a content drought when nintendo life starts with their posting of patch notes.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 27th)
Like many others, still playing Palworld this weekend. My God, it’s so much fun and it’s a shame Pokemon games don’t offer this type of freedom and world in their games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 20th)
@Tasuki I'm surprised people still play WoW nowadays. It's such an outdated game by today's standards and gamplay design.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 20th)
@JohnnyMind I'm always impressed you manage to squeeze time in to alternate between 12 or so games every weekend. I barely have time for 1.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th January (North America)
@LEGEND_MARIOID maybe Nintendo Life will skip the review like they did with Hogwarts Legacy too?
Re: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Estimated To Be A "25 Hour" Game
@Zaruboggan what games are hitting in February? Seems like a pretty dry period to me
Re: Here's A Look At Unicorn Overlord's Collector's Edition (Monarch Edition)
@Hero-of-WiiU we had a new fire emblem only this year so it’s very doubtful there’ll be another new fire emblem next year already
Re: Metacritic Reveals "The Worst Video Games Of 2023"
Only 10 below average (<50/100) quality games in a whole year. Truly one of the best years ever.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (Switch) - A Near-Royal Return For The Addictive Monster-Catching Spin-Off
@Arawn93
"If people here didn’t learn already is that people can look past that if the rest of the game is appealing enough."
Exactly. That's the reason Pokemon SV has sold more than 23 million copies so far. Because it's a fun open world Pokemon game.
Re: Review: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (Switch) - A Near-Royal Return For The Addictive Monster-Catching Spin-Off
@MARl0 I agree with you. It's incredible how the devs of DQM: The Dark Prince managed to make this game look worse and run worse than Pokemon S/V.
