@WaffleRaptor01 That’s pretty much EXACTLY what I meant. Sorry if I didn’t articulate it correctly. I still like characters like Bayonetta as she both fits the tone and personality of the game itself. Something like the blades in Xeno 2 (I think that’s what they were called) had all these suggestive angles that the only emotion I felt was laughter.
@smithyo There are plenty of times I don’t mind, though. Society has been so obsessed with women’s bodies over the years that it’s almost distracting and has nothing to do with story. I only take issue with this due to preservation’s sake.
@LadyCharlie That's a big difference though, looking at something as part of the background versus looking it up online. It's a very odd considering the promise of preservation. It even makes a good talking point as to how games were marketed then vs. how they are now and what the industry has learned.

Re: Switch Online's "Mature" N64 App Expands With Two More Games
@cartunecartune That’s just how limited the N64 M-rated library was.
Re: Some Fans Aren't Happy About Sonic X Shadow Generations' Changes To The Original
I guess they wanted Amy to be less stalkery and obsessed

@Keyblade-Dan Only the first one.
Re: FYI, Upcoming 'Miyamoto' Game Has Nothing To Do With The Legendary Creator
@Kirbo100 I knew he shared the name with some Japanese auteur 😂
Re: FYI, Upcoming 'Miyamoto' Game Has Nothing To Do With The Legendary Creator
Miyamoto is relatively common I guess. Isn’t it also the name of the creative lead behind Dark Souls?
Re: Trails Through Daybreak II Release Date Adds To A Crowded February 2025
What else is coming February that makes it crowded? I only know of Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Re: Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Shoots Onto Switch Next Year
@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot Not only was it lambasted, it nearly killed the franchise.
Re: The First Confirmed 'Switch 2' Game Has Smashed Its Kickstarter Goal
Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood are supposedly coming to Switch 2 as well.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Chimes In On Characters Showing Less Skin In Upcoming HD-2D Remake
@Lizuka Male and female are sex and not gender, so I don’t see why they ever needed to change it. It’s not non inclusive
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
I think SwitchUp said they played version 1.2. Nlife must have played an earlier build
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
Wow, @nintendolife makes this sound way worse than SwitchUp did. It’s like they had a different build.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom amiibo Functionality And Compatibility Revealed
No anniversary amiibo compatibility?
Re: PSA: Get 50% Off 'Mushihimesama' Before Its Switch eShop Delisting This Week
@yohn777 They’d still be getting money though.
Re: Random: Everybody 1-2-Switch! Was A Best-Seller In July 2024
I’ve lost all faith in humanity!

@Coffeemonstah Around 15,000 actually
Re: Review: Trauma Team (Wii U eShop / Wii)
@sethharris1192 They never stopped innovating. Plenty of motion controlled games still.
Re: Horror Dev Bloober Team Says It's Working On A New Project For Nintendo Platforms
@SalvorHardin Is this a joke?
Re: Every Game In The Switch eShop 'Recollection Collection' Sale (North America)
@LikelySatan I haven’t played them myself, just watched patch related videos. Have you played it lately?
Re: Every Game In The Switch eShop 'Recollection Collection' Sale (North America)
Maybe @Nintendolife should update their GTA description?
Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo Likely Won't Utilise Generative AI In Its Game Development
Nintendo is so behind the times they don’t even know what that is.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Nervous To Replay In Case They Don't Hold Up?
Final Fantasy 9. Such an influential game for me and inspired me to write fantasy.
Re: Feature: 16 Great Late-Gen Nintendo Games - Maybe There's Life In The Ol' Switch Yet
No Ever Oasis? Underrated and a real shame when it was released
Re: Round Up: Every Switch Highlight At The Future Games Show - Summer Showcase 2024
@N64-ROX I think it more Crash Bandicoot wannabe than DK
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
I know it kinda trivializes the art form, but almost anything with pixel art.
Re: WayForward's 'Clock Tower' Switch Port Receives Stunning Physical Editions
@LikelySatan Wow, you JUST made it!
Re: Chilled Adventure Game 'Overmorrow' Deletes Your Save Data Every 30 Days
Sounds like an idea Kojima floated around once
Re: Nintendo Discontinuing 'X' Integration On Switch Next Month
@pneumaticgnosis That just makes it a cesspool of nonsense for all sides.
Re: Localiser '8-4' Offers To Help Translate 'Retro Game Challenge 1 + 2 Replay'
Didn’t 8-4 publish Undertale and 198X?
Re: Soapbox: During A Mental Health Crisis, It Wasn't Cosy Games That Helped
It’s a good platformer, 2D or 3D, that helps get me through a tough time
Re: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Will Restore Missing Posters In Patch 3
@jowy_sw I still haven’t seen any big movie with an “ugly” woman protagonist. Hollywood still wants to make money after all.
Re: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Will Restore Missing Posters In Patch 3
Insert Simpson meme: “wow, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder”
Re: Community: 28 Switch Games We Missed, As Recommended By You Lovely People
Does Skatemaster’s tune sound a bit like an 8 bit rendition of Sister Sister, or is it just me?
Re: Lara Croft's Pinup Posters Go Missing In Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
@Quiet2down Right. Where are all these unattractive women I keep hearing about? 🙄

Re: Soapbox: Vanillaware's Most Underrated Game Is More Than Just A Pretty Picture
Any 3rd party game that’s at all decent on Wii can be considered a hidden gem. There are so many of them that next to no one has heard of
Re: Poll: What's The Best Prince Of Persia Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
Forgotten Sands on Wii is rather underrated
Re: Best Donkey Kong Games Of All Time
Where is Mini Mario and Friends amiibo Challenge?
Re: New Sonic-Style Kickstarter Project 'Rollin' Rascal' Hits Switch Goal
@Savage_Joe To be fair it only plays something like sonic. There’s no blatant character ripoffs here
Re: New Sonic-Style Kickstarter Project 'Rollin' Rascal' Hits Switch Goal
@Phin68 Hopefully it can avoid the Yooka Laylee situation and actually be good. There, fixed. 😉
Re: Fantasy Life Producer Keiji Inafune Says He Will Do His "Best" To Improve The New Entry
@-wc- All of my friends seem to love it. Haven’t played it myself though. I downloaded it but then my 3DS was stolen 🤷
Re: Soapbox: "Go Outside, Get Some Fresh Air" - Why Won't Outmoded Gamer Stereotypes Die?
This is appalling. I’ll have you know, I am STILL a socially-challenged dweeb.
Re: Feature: 'Rugrats' Dev's Mission To Make NES-Style Games "That Should Have Existed"
This NLife editor is doing quite a bit of brown nosing. It’ll be funny if this game gets below a 7/10.
Re: Sega Reveals New Details For Shinobi, Jet Set Radio, Streets Of Rage Revivals
Looks and sounds like Shinobi might be a Mark of the Ninja clone. Not a bad thing but might not be what fans want
Re: Contra: Operation Galuga Trailer Showcases Guns, Aliens, And Probotector
@Paraka I would have had SOME fun with it if it wasn’t for weapon cooldowns. As such, it felt like the game was fighting me for trying to enjoy it
Re: Embracer May Soon Be Closing 'Timesplitters' Studio Free Radical Design
I had no idea they were still around. I mean, I knew they were trying to get Timesplitters going but I assumed it was from a new developer.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Most Difficult Mainline Mario Game?
I gave up trying to 100% SMG the moment Super Luigi Galaxy showed up. That level was maddening.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
A 9/10 for now, but it’s just a hair away from a 10/10 mostly because the level design is the best of any platform game I played in years.
Re: Feature: "We Wouldn’t Give The Silent Hill IP To A Team Like Yours" - Dementium: The Ward's Origins And Switch Return
No one asked if this game has gyro aiming 😞
