The game is free-to-start apparently, with an upgrade fee being applicable if you want to play further (I'd guess the first world, which is four levels long, is probably available for free).

People need to calm down with the 'Nintendo is doomed' talk. This is here for brand exposure and isn't being developed by Nintendo themselves (remember, DeNA is).

I also have to say that this must be one of the lowest 'Nothing for me this week' percentages in a white. I put the discounts, Jotun and Ace Attorney as the reason behind this.

"isn't a contender against other full-priced Olympic themed games"
awards it the same score as Mario and Sonic at Rio 2016

Nice. I was wondering when this would return. Shame Nintendo haven't commented on why it was removed in the first place.

Yeah, like many have said, the costume bundles for Spirit of Justice are free for 1 week after launch (from the 8th to the 15th).

Asides from that, it's the best spiky-haired lawyer's newest game for me. Might pick up 140 at another time since I watched NintenDaan's First Look and was pleasantly surprised.

@Geno-Beatdown I think those 3 titles are his best works, which explains why I singled him out. The rest, like everyone else thinks, are complete garbage/a waste of your time/not for the Wii U/any other reason his games are hated.

@faint BBCode isn't a 'web framework'. So it can be expected he may not know it.

In fact, it's often used to allow replies on a forum to use HTML-related functions without having to know HTML (thus also lowering the chance of exploits being used to spread a virus or something).

@998613game Having read your comments, I believe that despite this being a topic some people are interested in, it was wrong of NintendoLife to publish the article given your explicit request for it not to go live. My thoughts on the quality of your games (except BLOK DROP U, Pentapuzzle and Peg Solitaire) do not change.

Also yes, your link does lead to a Dropbox album.

@faint BBCode is different from HTML. Go look up how to insert an image in HTML and compare it to BBCode.

@998613game Your link should end with .jpg or similar for it to be embedded in the comments section. All I see is your direct link through Dropbox.

@998613game Just use BBCode. Or leave the links here.

I feel that his refusal to talk now that his entire reputation is on the line (given that a large majority of the people on this website are the people that are, if anything, vaguely interested in his games, plus the fact that someone has tweeted at Jim Sterling, a semi-big YouTuber, alerting him to this story) may be an indicator as to his 'guilt', as it were.

Furthermore, I'd like to say that I think this isn't an article that is trying to be a 'witch-hunt' or 'OMG!#EXPOSED' because it neither accused RCMADIAX of doing anything wrong (since, as far as the article is concerned, he's in the right, despite contradicting research, as many people probably won't read the comments) nor did it slander him for it. If anything, it's a bunch of free press for the games that weren't called out, such as BLOK DROP U (which I maintain as his best title, despite it being his first) and SUPER ROBO MOUSE (which is often given the moniker of being his 'most ambitious' title).

@BulbasaurusRex I didn't even spot the fact it was changed. Then again, because it so closely resembles 'tetraminos'/'tetriminos', I doubt anyone would've noticed.

Should've just called them 'minos'.

I chose Slot Car Racer and I really like it. I don't mind particularly not being able to get Rivals without Play Coins, as the simple yet complex gameplay (in particular, trying to get a 'Perfect' on each corner) combined with a nice bit of content (3 License Levels, each with 3 main racing tracks and two bonus ones unlocked by completing certain objectives in the normal tracks) make it a nice free game from Nintendo that'll certainly make me more likely to bring my 3DS with me whenever I go somewhere.

So, it's been almost 24 hours and we've got two people arguing over restaurants and food somehow, and people claiming that NL is biased.

Whew boy.

I find this game's name strange, since 'tetra' means four (linking in to the fact standard-Tetris pieces are constructed of four blocks) yet not every 'Tetramino' is made of four blocks.

Just call it 'Minos' then.

Haha! Great, long awaited article. Even though this practice is legal, it's really frowned upon and it's great to see him 'exposed', as it were.

Again, it's still ironic that his first game was his best.

Now we wait for his responses in the comments section.

Well written. The 3DS still has some time left, so it's nice to see Nintendo not stop supporting it as soon as the NX comes out (again, assuming it is a hybrid). 2017 looks like it may well be a nice farewell year for the console (I expect the last big first party games for the system to be towards the end of 2017, with third-parties following suit around 6 months later).

@Kiyata So I assume you forgot about Style Savvy (or whatever it was called over there)?

Anyway, my highlights were Picross 3D Round 2, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World (along with the amiibo) and Mario Sports Superstars. Solid direct, overall. I have to comment Nintendo for not really dwelling on anything for too long - it was well paced.

I dunno why people would even complain now, the game is out, and if you want a copy just ask someone else for the files.

Meanwhile I will continue to laugh at Metroid fans.

@dkxcalibur I dunno if you've confused 'moving together' with 'rolling dice at the same time' or what, this is nothing like Mario Party 10. Here, every player, as an individual, rolls their dice at the same time to move around on a grid to collect coins, buy stars or fight bosses for an opportunity to unlock stars. In Mario Party 10, one person rolled a dice to move all of their team-mates towards the end of a linear track whilst trying to have the most Mini-Stars at the end.

They're nothing alike.

I'm really happy with some of the titles they announced, including Picross 3D Round 2, which I have been waiting for since last year! I'm definitely gonna invest in this alongside Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, and Mario Sports Superstars.

Looks fun. Hopefully other Mario Party fans think this.

The lack of online and poor NSMBU graphics kill this for me. As it's own project, it seems great, but, without the ability to share levels online, it relies on having others' to play it with, since, what's the point of making levels without easily sharing them?

I do like how the Official Courses that come pre-included have their own optional objectives for 'medals', it's a nice touch to get people to think about level design more, which, hopefully, would limit the terrible levels people would make with this, if you could share them online.

Camelot are making the game, which is good news. Personally, I can't wait, this seems really cool, and it may finally have gotten each games' individual formula down to a tee.

@StephenYap3 Equestrian is well-respected sport. I can't see why you don't think of it as a sport. Skateboarding is a sport; rock climbing (at Tokyo 2020) is a sport. Why isn't equestrian, in your eyes?

@wiggleronacid It was.

@Dipso It'll automatically use your disc save.

I WANT IT

OH COME ON! Why do we have to wait? Then again, we get a physical version.

These extra screenshots make the game actually look really nice. That level making tool seems well crafted, as it allows for neat levels that can be made easily.

@Tops I agree, that 15-second-teaser makes the game look kinda dull, they need to show off all the mechanics the games has in a full trailer. What they've given us isn't exactly gonna cut it.

I need to see more before I make a fully-rounded opinion, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

Well, I guess this is nice. Gives you more time to spend them, if anything.

Surprised they're not putting Ace Attorney on sale AGAIN, even though I own all of them. Still, this seems like a good time to pick up the Legacy Collection.

Oh yeah, I forgot, the Animal Crossing update! We'll definitely hear about that in the direct. May even get some new amiibo.

@kamikazilucas But isn't that technically an update on the NX?
Meaning that it won't be talked about in any capacity.

I vote for Picross 3D 2, some form of Mario game (asides from Star Rush, though that will feature, for sure), and a surprise to be featured in the direct. We'll probably also see more of Ever Oasis, and get an announcement for Yo-Kai Watch 2 (like a date or time frame for next year, at least in Europe).

not again
pls
why

Seriously, once again, I'm not particularly shocked.

Tetraminos trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nC4QXWvpj0

Actually looks pretty fun.

Take note RCMADIAX, this is how you make a good budget game. Props to the developer, this looks fun. Interested to see if it will arrive in Europe.

Thank god this only cost £2 for me, as this, in my opinion, isn't as good as the trailers will make you believe. Unresponsive controls, trial-and-error gameplay, and, generally, just poor level design make this something I won't be replaying any time soon. Oh, and the lag, which shows that this game clearly wasn't well optimised.

What a shame.

Wow, Kirby: Planet Robobot is still selling. Huh. That's good.

@MJInnocent I'm missing 3 packs, but I'm planning on getting them all anyway. I agree, it doesn't deserve some of the hate it got.

I still enjoy collecting coins towards the 10-million coin reward, glad to see NSMB2 do well still.

Spirit of Justice demo for me!

I remember when the trailer for this game was published on NintendoLife, and I commented that it was a mindless party game. Well, the score certainly backs me up.

@ALinkttPresent (spoilers, a little, but not much) Meh, that game isn't even worthy of an M. The only scenes that merit the M rating are in the fifth case with Athena's recollection of the events seven years before the game takes place.

@ALinkttPresent How were you worried?

Anyway, great news. I cannot wait for this!

@bubby444 I don't want another F-Zero, I was just giving an example. Read my post again, you'll see. Can't stand it, personally, especially the GBA game.

@WiltonRoots @MagicEmperor Of course, there's many obnoxious fan-bases out there, I'm most definitely not singling out Metroid, it's just become very obvious about their behaviour since... well, E3 last year. It just bugs me to no end, when fans complain about not getting the game they want whilst other series' and their fans are desperate for games (F-Zero, for example).
