Personally, I could never see Nintendo signing off on Game Pass coming to their hardware, not when it is damaging to both them as a company and the wider industry in the long term.
@Vexx234 I would say it's niche compared to a lot of Nintendo's other franchises and the fact it is motion based as well but I thought there would be more interest than what we have seen. If you are looking for a good starting point then Move It is ideal. Also, 100% on board with the return of platforming Wario.
It's a shame to see WarioWare: Move It not really lighting up the sales charts, I understand its a niche title but it's way better than Get It Together and I had hoped a strong reception would have meant we would see more of these motion based games from Nintendo in the future.
The fact that the game can't even be finished because of a bug is ridiculous, that should surely have been a priority. Sadly typical of indie developers these days.
This looks like an improvement on both Sonic Mania as well as most of everything else they have done with with franchise over the last few years and I'm excited for it. Arzest have made some good games over the years even if Balan was a massive letdown, I'm glad they are being given a chance with Sonic.
I was under the impression that Nintendo Life didn't factor pricing into its review scores. Regardless the game looks great, look forward to trying it out sometime.
Given the current political situation I find both this video and article tone deaf. People like to wheel out the whole 'it's the government' excuse but there are millions of everyday people supporting this genocidal war.
@nimnio 100% agree. Its cringy and embarrassing watching middle aged men try and get attention two decades later off of the back of their old work rather than doing something new that's relevant in 2023. I say let this new team have their chance to enjoy the spotlight. Crediting is getting ridiculous.
Finally got around to this recently only to find it was a bit disappointing. The Messenger is probably the best indie retro inspired platformer I have played, would love to see it get the same treatment.
Nothing wrong with the 2DS, it's simple but sometimes that can make a nice contrast to some of the shower models, look at the Mario Red and Blue Switch, sometimes some iconic colours are all you need.
Another example of an indie game that claimed it was going to give fans what they have been calling out for but only ended up showing they lack the skill to actually deliver. Truth is no one does it quite like Nintendo do.
Makes sense if Nintendo are holding their own. Smash community will probably lose their mind regardless, tell everyone how they are out there promoting the franchise for Nintendo, complain about the prizes and how Nintendo is destroying the community.
Melee was good in its day but one of the things I like about the franchise is the fact that each entry improves on what proceeded it. I look forward to seeing what ways they find to move Smash forward in the future.

@Joeynator3000 is it not on NSO?

Re: Review: Bahnsen Knights (Switch) - Perhaps The Best Yet Of The Brilliant 'Pixel Pulps'
This reads more like a paid for ad for the franchise than it does a review.
Re: Random: Super Metroid's Mother Brain Comes To Life In This Awesome 16-Bit Cosplay
Don't want to diss on what other people do for fun, its their time after all, but I will never understand cosplay or why some people are so in to it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mario Golf: Advance Tour
One of my all time favourite games, the UK cover may not be spectacular but its deeply nostalgic for me so its earns my vote.
Re: Jet Force Gemini's Widescreen Mode Reportedly "Broken" On Switch
I don't think anyone really cares to be honest. Also, broken?? Anything to get that 'Nintendo cutting corners again' engagement amirite.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Are In
So Nintendolife is now just picking random commentary from the internet for these review rounds ups now??

Re: Sonic Superstars' Sales Were 'Slightly Weaker' Than Sega Had Anticipated
It's a great game and at £35 this would have flown off the shelves.
Re: Poll: What's The Best RPG Starring Mario?
Super Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door are both my favourites but I haven't played a bad Mario led rpg to be fair.
Re: Mineko's Night Market Gets An Extensive Update, Here Are The Patch Notes

Re: Review: Wild Card Football - An Ambitious Take On Gridiron Lacking A Full Deck
No interest in supporting any studio that will give the likes of Kapernick a platform.
Re: Random: Xbox's Phil Spencer 'Had A Blast' Playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder
High praise from who, a man who clearly doesn't know a thing about games and will lead the Xbox brand to another distant third in sales??
Re: Paper Mario-Inspired 'Born Of Bread' Demo Now Available On Switch eShop (Europe)
If I wanted to play a Paper Mario like game I will just play Paper Mario games
Re: Unlike Metroid Prime, Quake II's Original Dev Team Is Credited On The Switch Remaster
@RavenFellBlade I see drama queens are not limited to developers of 20 year old games and writers at Nintendo news sites.
Re: Unlike Metroid Prime, Quake II's Original Dev Team Is Credited On The Switch Remaster
The Prime developers who made a big deal about this ended up looking like a bunch of drama queens. This article isn't much better.
Re: Saber's Wild Card Football Brings Power-Ups, NFL Stars And Arcade Action To Switch This October
Colin Kaepernick at centre stage?? I was interested but no way I would support any game that could end up funding his political activities.
Re: Sonic Fans Are Already Really Mad About Sonic Origins Plus
Sonic fans are really mad?? There's a surprise.
Re: Hands On: Sonic Superstars Is Exactly What Sonic 4 Should Have Been
This looks like a massive improvement on Sonic Mania, really looking forward to it.
Re: Sonic Superstars Developed By Original Designer's Studio
This looks like an improvement on both Sonic Mania as well as most of everything else they have done with with franchise over the last few years and I'm excited for it. Arzest have made some good games over the years even if Balan was a massive letdown, I'm glad they are being given a chance with Sonic.

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me
I feel like you would enjoy Anodyne if you haven't already played it.
Re: 'Double Dragon Gaiden' Announced With Scott Pilgrim-Inspired Visuals And Gameplay
Looks like a generic indie brawler with no imagination. Hard pass.
Re: Poll: Who's Your Favourite Champion In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
Mipha made me feel very uncomfortable sexually so I couldn't, in all good consciousness, vote for her.
Re: IGDA Updates 'Game Crediting Policies' In Hopes Of Improving Industry Standards

Re: Review: Figment 2: Creed Valley - Charming Action Puzzling, But Sluggish On Switch
The ads I have been seeing everywhere for this made me cringe.
Re: Exclusive: Wargroove 2 Brings Strategy To The Shores On Switch Later This Year
Like many others I lost interest in the first one quickly and while the art in this sequel is no doubt nice I'm getting tired of this whole aesthetic.
Re: Trippy FPS 'POST VOID' Is Bringing The DOOM Vibes To Switch This Month
Looks awful and doubt the game will have much substance, like the ad though.
Re: Generation Esports Officially Partners With Nintendo For Middle School Esports Event

Re: 81 Must-Have Games You Should Pick Up In The Switch eShop Sale (Europe)

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Switch eShop Price Is $70 USD
@Lizuka I'm not defending them at all, just don't see what the big deal is with a few dollars on top.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Switch eShop Price Is $70 USD
Imagine getting so worked up over an extra $10.
Re: Celeste Gets Beautiful New Collector's Edition For Fifth Anniversary

Re: Review: The Punchuin - A Pleasant, Punchy Puzzler That's Light On Content
