@3ric Terrible answer - so far removed from reality. Third world or not, a boss can make your life a living hell. I could comfortably pick apart this point by point but I'm busy.
@Dr_Corndog Look at all the comments here comparing this to their work environments - plenty of adults in work. And nothing wrong with showing younger people the realities of adult life, they need to be prepared for it.
Some absolutely terrible comments here - toxic workplace environments are responsible for serious mental health fallout and this needs to stop. Disappointing to see this ignorance reflected in the first few comments on Nintendo life, a decent community. I have two seriously ill children and my wife often has to live long term in hospital. Many families have similar back breaking situations - put a bullying toxic workplace environment on top of that & you’re not only tipping the parent over the edge in a time of deep suffering but you’re hurting the children as well. People need to grow up and realise what it’s like to be an adult with serious responsibilities in this world.
@Friscobay Must be frustrating! Apparently the oled switch has revised joycons so hopefully we’ll be able to buy them at some point. Nintendo should have revised them much earlier.
@Friscobay Why not just send the joycon into Nintendo, you’ll get it back like new for free in a few days? (Just saw that you’ve bought quite a few! Just send them back, N fixes then for free)
@EarthboundBenjy Agreed, this was a huge mistake from Nintendo, bless them. Just send it in to them, they’ll have it back to you in a few days. Hopefully they’ve learned their lesson for the next console. At leat they provide us with some of the greatest games ever made. In fact I believe they’re the greatest developer the world has seen so far.
Just as an alternative opinion: Nintendo fixes this for free and has an incredibly fast turnaround - and much better than a home fix. I know it shouldn’t be a problem in the first place but they’re doing their due diligence, at least to a degree.
Exciting to think they’re balls deep in developing their new console - only they know what it is. I reckon it’s a new much more powerful handheld hybrid.

@Migoshuro you’re absolutely right, the sequel is 100% a better game in my opinion. The addition of the boost mechanic made the racing that much more thrilling. A lot of people dismissed the game, saying the handling was too difficult, when in fact if you mastered the combination and interaction of the stick and shoulder buttons for steering it made for a fantastically finely balanced control system that gave the game wonderful playability. Personally I think it’s one of the best racers of all time, even now, and I love it to bits.
The worst thing they could possibly do with this is change the original physics. Hopefully they've kept Toshihiro's gameplay 100% intact. That's the sauce that's eluded developers again and again which elevates the first two games above any marble/ball type game in existence. And crucially the very thing that would be difficult to translate perfectly to a different engine.
@Darknilious Yes it’ll probably just be a MD sales push plus a few indies. Maybe a short tease of one of the upcoming big guns to tide us over. Fairly boring.
Some great, entirely realistic predictions here. Additionally we’ll get the real 4K switch pro (finally!). DLSS, roughly the base power of a series S, but in real world terms able to just about match an RTX3090 due to Nintendo’s new bespoke ultra efficient compiler. All games on mask roms to easily exceed the PS5 load times and all games will be required to run at a rock solid 120fps.A VR headset to come before Xmas with twin 4K screens at 120hz, finally giving us a decent FOV. BOTW2 and many more upcoming games will run on the headset, which will be roughly the size of a bulky pair of glasses. Complete GameCube & N64 libraries, all reprogrammed or de-restricted to run at 120fps.
For those speculating, it’s fairly obvious. BOTW 2, Metroid prime 4, Pikmin 4, Waverace next & F-zero next will all be releasing before Christmas for a knock-down priced bundle of £60 for the complete set. Can’t wait!
Everyone here’s falling for it too. It’s nonsensical so say BOTW is better than Mario 3 or to even try & compare SOTN to RE4. There seems to be a madness here - compare Metroid prime to Mario 3. Which is the best? If you answer with either game you’re a moron
Tweaked physics?? Blasphemy. Give me Toshihiro Nagoshi’s pure vision any day. The GameCube analogue stick’s so perfectly tuned to the game - for this particular title I can’t imagine another stick matching it. Thank god I recollected for the cube & became a CRT collector.
EDIT: I’m a purist, I’m sure it’ll be awesome for 99% of players
@Nintendo_Alski I never understood why people think the wavebird is better than the original, would love to hear peoples opinions. All they did is remove rumble and add wireless. I’d prefer rumble over wireless any day.

@Kejomo Cancelling would be far too extreme. They just need to be held to account & adjust their working environment.

Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management
@CharlieGirl Good for you - shame others aren’t seeing it this way. Perhaps people don’t like anything bad said about their new shiny game.
Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management
@roz061 Exactly, this attitude is baffling and the reason why things don’t change for the better.
Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management
@Lordplops I would be very careful before you assume that - you may be contributing to the problem.

Anything 720p looks horrible on my OLED so portable only. I was gutted when I realised Pikmin 3 was 720p, such a beautiful game otherwise.

@stinky_t Yuck!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 16th)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 16th)
@Oberzilla Love it - I’m a collector as well, just about reigned it in before it took over my whole life.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 16th)
@Oberzilla Conker! Such a classic & well worth going back to. Are you playing on N64?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 16th)
Colin McCrae rally PS1. I have Codemasters rally games for PS2, Xbox 360 and PS4 (Dirt) - for pure fun this PS1 classic beats them all hands down.

Re: Don't Worry, 3D All-Stars' Super Mario 64 Will Still Likely Be The Definitive Switch Version
@RetroOutcast @DaniPooo For some. It is indeed awesome - but for many others the definitive way to play is original hardware on CRT.

How on earth can NL not know the difference between upscaling and increasing resolution? This is really basic stuff.
Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
£10 a year is acceptable, especially with the online multiplayer.
