@BenAV In 5 months, we've had Mario Kart World, DK Bananza, Pokemon ZA and Mario Party with Hyrule Warriors, Kirby Air Riders and Metroid in the next couple of months. Only the internet could call that 'underwhelming'.
More than good enough. The reason Nintendo are in the strong position they're in while the rest of the industry burns is because they DON'T chase super high fidelity graphics and crazy scope.
Umm, the "Out Now" version was just a fake photoshop by some immature attention seeker. You could see the brush marks where he erased the regular version. Nintendo didnt "fix" anything, the above poster has always been there. I suspect NintendoLife know this, but these days, it's all about "engagement", so let's report on fake news.

I spent £8 on a random Tuesday lunch today. I'm ok to spend £8 on this. But then I also understand that I don't deserve things for free just because angry comments say I do.
@LXP8 Do they get it wrong or does putting an ugly icon give you news articles and exposure like this one when they change it, that they wouldn't have got otherwise?
@ralphdibny I mean what do you expect when you brute force the Thunder Isles and ignore the tears till late? It's not that difficult to follow the more guided path the game nudges you towards.
@MalonsTalon One of the worst comments I've seen on this site. The amount of baseless assumptions you make is laughable. Critics questioned the depth of story-telling and the lack of true character development that other animated films have in spades. They're legitimate criticisms. And I say this as someone who adored the film.
@johnvboy If it's all subjective like you say, then critics can be no more 'out of touch' than other movie-goers like you or I surely? Look I had an amazing time with the film, I saw it three times, but I'll happily admit there wasn't a ton of depth there, story-line or character wise.
@johnvboy Critics aren't "out of touch", there are legitimate issues with the film in terms of story-telling, character development etc, but that doesn't stop it from being a fun nostalgia-fuelled watch that people love and spread good word of mouth about.

@OctolingKing13 You can always trust gamers to stretch the same joke lightyears beyond breaking point.
Re: The Nintendo Museum Has Already Played Host To Over Half A Million Visitors
It was a highlight of my trip to Japan (which is a very high bar). Amazing place, so well thought out and wonderful to visit.

Re: Delightful Looking RPG 'Witchbrook' Has Been Delayed On Switch and Switch 2
Release dates are meaningless these days.
Re: iFixit Performs A Full Teardown Of Nintendo's "P**s-Poor" Pro Controller
It's a p*ss poor controller because they couldn't gain access to it? LOL. Clickbait nonsense.
Re: Switch Port Experts Share Thoughts About Switch 2's "Raw" Performance
More than good enough. The reason Nintendo are in the strong position they're in while the rest of the industry burns is because they DON'T chase super high fidelity graphics and crazy scope.
Re: Dbrand Admits Its Joy-Con Detachment Response Was "Spectacularly Terrible"
Were those statements written by a 12 year old?

Re: Random: Mario Kart World Players, Take Heed - This Is What Happens When You Throw A Blue Shell In First Place
An attention seeking YouTuber with a fake, over the top reaction to something average. I am shocked.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
RIP tedious internet discourse.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed
@Bigmanfan Why would Prime 4 be 80 dollars on Switch 2 when DK Bonanza isn't even 80?
Re: Nintendo eShop Cards Are Apparently Getting A Refresh For Switch 2
DK's new look is so, so, so much better. The previous Rare design makes him look like a complete dork (who has a grand total of 1 facial expression)
Re: Mario Kart World Is Reportedly The Smoothest Entry Yet
@PinballBuzzbro No one is paying 80 bucks for it. They're buying the bundle where the game is like 50.
Re: Random: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Depths Hide A Mysterious, Unused Big Hole
Wow I've never muted a video so quickly, and I'm English myself.
Re: ConcernedApe Shares New Development Update On Haunted Chocolatier
I hope those "reasons" he had for announcing the game a decade before it comes out were worth it.
Re: Random: This 2D Animator Is Remaking An NES Zelda Dungeon With Hand-Drawn Visuals
I wish Zelda games would go back to this tone, the darker, more gothic, spooky vibes of the original two or three games in the franchise.
A bit less "Stamp Guy" vibes is all I ask.

Re: Random: New Pokémon Ad Positions 3DS As 'Retro', And The Internet Disagrees
Nice ad, Nintendo are so good at these. What a turnaround from the Wii U days.
(Don't care about the is it retro discussion, who cares)
Re: Limited Edition Shovel Knight Switch Joy-Con Revealed, Pre-Orders Now Live
$165 and 6-9 months before a new Switch comes out. Never change Yacht Club, never change.

Great game, awful trailer. Again. They seem to be getting worse and worse as the years go on.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Fixed The Yiga Clan, And Now I Want More
@PinderSchloss You're not supposed to collect all 1000 Korok seeds. The "reward" they give you makes that pretty clear.
