Hear that Noah? Xenoblade fans like voices a bit meatier

@KateGray great article, I was actually saying to my partner a day before that I'm surprised no one has written about this recently. Just on the PS5 standby wattage, shouldn't that be more around 1W? https://www.nrdc.org/experts/noah-horowitz/latest-game-consoles-environmental-winners-or-losers

Today I learned that Eelektross is a fan favourite pokemon

@AlanaHagues slightly pendantic but I would probably put RRP instead of MSRP in a column about prices in the UK

Main issue I have with this is that if there is no scaling and you do the preferred order, the experience will likely be lessened in terms of narrative because it's all set up to be done in any order.

So in the end you might end up with a worst of both worlds situation

Hear that, Noah? British people want something a bit meatier

"Hear that, Noah? Switch players want something a bit meatier."

Mildly annoyed he is calling it a Miata even though he is clearly not in America

@AlanaHagues you should probably mention that these are US only (or at least not available on the UK)

@Gwynbleidd Yeah, I find it absolutely ridiculous to see games by the likes of Ubisoft and Konami published by a publisher like that.

I assume it makes more money but it's still very shady (similar to when they got the rights to the only English speaking physical of No more heroes)

The Scott Pilgrim point is so weird because there's no chance it would have not gotten a physical release. There was just more money in doing it through limited run

And all that without releasing a physical version in Europe for whatever reason

As a UK based site you should really mention it somewhere in the header or subheader that this is Limited run

Wasn't a fan of Tennis in the play test and whilst bowling was ok, I found the movements you made in Wii Sports a lot more intuitive so not surprising unfortunately

Why are they trying to make it look weirdly photorealistic? Just looks off

I don't think I could write something like this without getting sponsorship money from Microsoft

@KirbysAdventure But why would you watch someone stream a game if you cared about spoilers that much in the first place?

Not sure why you included the physical GBP price for SMT IV given there is no PAL physical version

This must be the first article on Nintendolife about this

Could probably buy a sealed copy of the game if I got a tenner for every Nintendolife article about this

@electrolite77 It is good for some of them yes (or else they wouldn't agree to it) but that doesn't mean it's a worthwhile thing to do from a first party perspective. And for both Nintendo and Sony, having a service on the same level as GamePass would mean incurring losses that neither can afford long term

@electrolite77 It might have worked well for some third parties but it is not something Microsoft themselves make money with

When the amount of traffic is sus

@YessMasster And to build up that userbase you have to spend money and forego revenue to a degree that isn't sustainable for anyone apart from Microsoft

@Arawn93 GamePass is not sustainable for anyone who actually makes money selling video games which applies to both Sony and especially Nintendo.

And it's not like it's profitable for Microsoft either

Guess this is better than the incessant rumours of GamePass coming to Switch

It really confuses me how to a lot of Nintendo fans preservation just seems to mean "being available for free". Because if we are actually talking about copies of something being preserved, Nintendo does have a very good track record (and have helped other companies who didn't preserve code for some of their games before).

And I would very much guess that Nintendo also preserves all their strategy guides and stuff but of course they won't make them available for free.

I don't judge people for downloading things no longer available but pretending it's all about preserving those things is weird.

Ridiculous level of clickbait here, honestly shameful

Struggling to believe that this wasn't paid for tbh

Not a fan of most of those tracks but Ninja Hideaway is probably one of the best in the whole game

@Stocksy They look like early PS3 to me and even some of the car models look weirdly blurry

Edit: Just watched some video footage and I might have been too nice, this is definitely a lot uglier than the devil's DMs

Timezones sure do exist

It's very important to preserve this game since Nintendo has only rereleased it on every single platform since its release and made only one remake of it

@ModdedInkling I mean Omicron is a lot less deadly than the previous variants, hence why a lot of places in the world are pretty much back to 2019 normal or close to that.

And if you are a small developer or publisher, being able to talk to decision makers in person does make life a lot easier

@Pachrisu I assume a lot of parents are buying Minecraft for their kids

That's just base salary so most people will earn more but it's quite comparable to London where most people's salary is about 2.5 times the rent. Although that will obviously depend on where in Tokyo you live but I think the average for a one bed is around 110-120k

@nessisonett: Inflation is very low in Japan

Finally they did what the wanted, giving Kirby a gun

Incredible how everyone was losing their mind at the original Arceus reveal (which was running a lot worse than the final game and also included no gameplay) but the same people can somehow tell this is bad based on no gameplay

Must have been painful for the UK based writer of this article to write "soccer"

One of the funniest takes on emulation I am constantly seeing is people thinking they are some sort of big game preservers because they are emulating a game that sold millions of copies.

@kobashi100 That's one of the ones I was thinking about. Personally not interested until they become a lot cheaper but if emulation is all you care about it sounds like a good option rather than spending a lot more on a Steamdeck

Not surprising but not a thing that you'd get just for emulating GC etc. There's better options for less money

You mean it Wiill wiipe my Wii clean?

@Arawn93 Hell, even someone who has put 10ish hours I to the game wouldn't know this is a spoiler

@Sam_ATLUS Quite common for RPGs I think

Find it honestly perplexing someone from the UK wrote this

Much prefer the dubs of games like Xenoblade or Dragon Quest to American voice actors either trying to sound super edgy or like Japanese teens. I don't even care if it's Mancunian, Geordie, Welsh or whatever because UK voice actors are also much better at doing a fairly neutral accent than US ones.

Wait, where those tweets added in retrospectively? @Damo

If so do you really think that's an ok thing to do after being called out for writing an opinion piece instead of a news article? If that's your opinion you would own up to it and not retrospectively hide behind other people.

Seems like a fairly normal thing to say, it would be stupid for a tech company to not keep an eye on stuff like that but it doesn't mean they have an actual interest in it

I love a good FMV game but I really don't want a game that reminds me of zoom quizzes lmao
