@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.
@Antraxx777 Unfortunately, the original Anniversary game is completely different. I played that on Wii and had a blast. Since this new one has it where you can swap visuals. It’s more like the controls will be faithful to the original trilogy.
Tomb Raider has aged like milk though, particularly in the control department. Doesn’t sound like they’re changing it either because that’s something they’d definitely want to mention in their press release.

@sethharris1192 They never stopped innovating. Plenty of motion controlled games still.

@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: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?
I know it kinda trivializes the art form, but almost anything with pixel art.

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.

@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

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

Re: Soapbox: "Go Outside, Get Some Fresh Air" - Why Won't Outmoded Gamer Stereotypes Die?

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

Re: Sonic Superstars' New Multiplayer Battle Mode Detailed By SEGA
@roy130390 I’d say Sonic and the Secret Rings falters because of this.
Re: Evil Dead: The Game Has Been Cancelled For Nintendo Switch
Now when is WB going to announce that Dying Light 2 Cloud Version is cancelled?
Re: Review: Mortal Kombat 1 - A Superb Fighter, But Severely Kompromised On Switch
@PJOReilly If it’s the case of different reviewers giving different scores then why does Nintendo Life always use the word “we”?
Re: Review: Mortal Kombat 1 - A Superb Fighter, But Severely Kompromised On Switch
This is odd as SwitchUp has stated the opposite about nearly every negative this reviewer poses.
Re: Contra: Operation Galuga Blasts Onto Switch In Early 2024
You guys forgot to mention it’s developed by Wayforward which gives me confidence in this game that I otherwise wouldn’t have.
Re: The Original Tomb Raider Trilogy Is Getting Remastered For Switch
@Antraxx777 Unfortunately, the original Anniversary game is completely different. I played that on Wii and had a blast. Since this new one has it where you can swap visuals. It’s more like the controls will be faithful to the original trilogy.
Re: The Original Tomb Raider Trilogy Is Getting Remastered For Switch
@Antraxx777 What’s your source? Did I miss something?
Re: The Original Tomb Raider Trilogy Is Getting Remastered For Switch
Tomb Raider has aged like milk though, particularly in the control department. Doesn’t sound like they’re changing it either because that’s something they’d definitely want to mention in their press release.

Re: Random: Someone Recreated Star Fox's Arwing In Starfield
…Or you could play Starlink. Finished that for you @nintendolife. Your welcome.
Re: Talking Point: Which Classic Cartoons Deserve The Shredder's Revenge Treatment?
Not a cartoon exactly, but Power Rangers would make a lot of sense. You could play as different variations of characters culled from its 30 year run.
