Sonic Advance was my first proper introduction to Sonic. I dabbled with it here and there on a friend's Game Gear. Completely loved Rush, Rush Adventure and Colors on DS. I would completely support a Sonic Advance HD remake.
The Sevii Islands were a great addition to the games. I loved exploring and hearing the remixed Johto themes. Reaching Memorial Pillar south of Five Isle Meadow was so special to me.
Yeah, this looks so good. I avoided horses in BOTW and TOTK because they were clunky and made it easy to zip by hidden treasures or secrets without noticing them.
To me, it always felt like the dive between the surface and the Depths was the loading screen. It wasn't a simple pop in and out because the Depths was loading as you descended.
Just looking at the comments on here. Yeah, DKC 3 gets hated on way too much. It's the best in the trilogy. The world is more fleshed out, the animal buddies are new, the levels are awesome, and finding the Lost World was an actual challenge. The Banana Birds, vehicles, and Brothers Bears were excellent additions. The music is really good too.
@the_beaver Yeah. That's what I keep hearing. I have too many games to play and not enough time. I still need to finish the first Octopath Traveler as well.
Of course, the new kits are weapons I don't use. I really miss my Custom SplatterShot Jr. from Splatoon 2. Fast fire rate plus Ink Storm was a great combo.

Re: Lon Lon Ranch Potentially Spotted In New Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Footage
Yeah, this looks so good. I avoided horses in BOTW and TOTK because they were clunky and made it easy to zip by hidden treasures or secrets without noticing them.
Re: Here's Another Look At The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom World Map
@Maubari That's what guides and walkthroughs are for. If you get stuck, it's no problem getting help so you can experience the rest of the game.
Re: Hands On: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Brings Tantalising Creativity To The 2D Template
Calm down, Nintendo Life. You'll be getting your review copy soon. Your brief play session was just teaser for what's to come.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Brothership Trailer Welcomes You To Concordia
I'm not up to speed on this Concord joke, so I have no idea what this comment section is talking about.

Re: New Nintendo Infographics Highlight Every Game In August's Indie World & Partner Showcase
Only games I care about are the Horizon Adventures and Dragon Quest 3.
Re: Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Demo Out Now On eShop
Guess someone flipped the demo switch too early, and it doesn't coincide with a simultaneous release as it is announced in today's partner showcase.
Re: Random: Nintendo Reveals The Player Prediction Methods Used To Cut Zelda: TOTK's Load Times
To me, it always felt like the dive between the surface and the Depths was the loading screen. It wasn't a simple pop in and out because the Depths was loading as you descended.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Has Been Delayed Again
No worries. I have plenty of backlog to keep me busy until its eventual release.

The only Jamie Lee Curtis movie I'm looking forward to is Freakier Friday.

Team Present for me!
Re: Splatoon 3 Serves Up August's Splatfest Theme And Dates
Too many carbs in this Splatfest.
Re: What Review Score Would You Give Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?
After looking at the side by side comparisons, I can see that Tantalus did a great job on bringing this to the Switch.
Re: Hands On: SteamWorld Heist II Expands On A Beloved 3DS Title, But Is It What Fans Really Want?
My only experience in the SteamWorld franchise is Dig 2. Their other games don't interest me at all. I'd love a Dig 3 with a meatier campaign.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Switch) - The Best Version, But Lacks Extras To Make It Essential
Played and beat it on 3DS then sold it. I plan to get this again on sale later down the line.
Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals 'Summer Nights' Splatfest Theme & Dates
Theme Park for me.

Well, there goes one new announcement for tomorrow's Direct. We're down to 39 minutes of new stuff to be shown.
Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024: Time, Where To Watch, What To Expect
This pretty much confirms the leaks.
Re: Acquire Confirms Switch Release For Real-Time RPG 'Scars Of Mars'
@Pillowpants Looks nothing like Battle Network. You're thinking of Star Force.

I'd love to see her summon a ThunderJaw and wreck havoc during a Final Smash sequence.
Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance (Switch) - Even Better Than The Stellar Original
Waiting until Christmas to get this on sale for PS4. Already have too many games to play.
Re: Hands On: 'LEGO Horizon' Builds A Welcome Entry Point To Sony's Series
Big fan of the Horizon games, so this is a day one purchase for me.
Re: Rumour: New Leaked Codenames Suggest Turok, Tomb Raider, DOOM & More Are Inbound
I hope everything doesn't get leaked before the Nintendo Direct. It'll ruin all the hype and surprise.
Re: Hands On: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Delivers More Than Just A Hi-Def Upgrade
I'll wait for the inevitable Christmas or E3 30% off sale.
Re: Every Game In Nintendo's 'Mega Extreme Fun' eShop Sale (North America)
It never fails. The sale list is all games I already have or don't care about.
Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Reiterates Plan To Put "More Of Our Games On More Platforms"
I love how you guys at Nintendo Life keep assuming its a "Switch 2" in your articles.
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Coming To Switch, Confirmed For Holiday 2024
Too bad they couldn't get Aloy's real voice actress...
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Speeds Onto Switch This October
I only played the 3DS version of Generations. Getting to play this remastered console version will be a nice treat.
Re: Octopath Traveler II Receives A Surprise Update On Switch Today
@the_beaver Yeah. That's what I keep hearing. I have too many games to play and not enough time. I still need to finish the first Octopath Traveler as well.
Re: Square Enix RPG Octopath Traveler II Gets A Surprise Update
This game is still in my backlog.
Re: The First Review For Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Is In
Without looking at the article or comments, I guarantee it's a Famitsu review. They're always the "first" reviews to come out.
Edit: Yup. I was right.
Re: Video: 10 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In June 2024
Someone needs to check their math. We have only completed 5 months in 2024. The end of June is half of the year.
Re: Splatoon 3 Receives A Fresh New Update (Version 8.0.0), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Of course, the new kits are weapons I don't use. I really miss my Custom SplatterShot Jr. from Splatoon 2. Fast fire rate plus Ink Storm was a great combo.
Re: Random: Shin Megami Tensei V Continues Heavy Metal Collabs With Slipknot
The headline had me thinking that Slipknot was a band and was creating new music for the Vengeance part of the game.
Re: Soapbox: After Restarting My Save File, I Finally 'Get' Hollow Knight
I picked it up a while back on sale. Tried it for a little bit and kept dying. Got tired of dying, quit playing, and haven't gone back to it since.
Re: Netflix Reveals The First Official Look At Liam Hemsworth In 'The Witcher'
Looks very similar to me.
Re: Team Bucket List Triumphs In Splatoon 3's Apocalypse-Themed Splatfest
Glad I reached Champion level on Team Bucket so I could get more snails. I was about to stop at Defender level after losing so much in Pro mode.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th May)
Splatoon 3 and Tears of the Kingdom. Restarted my save on that game so I could do a 1 year anniversary run-through.
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
It's technically 5 dungeons, so they poll answer option is wrong.
