I'm still on the fence. On one hand, I'm on a Final Fantasy kick and wouldn't mind experiencing XV (either on Switch or the full version on PS4). On the other, XIII left a bad taste in my mouth.
While waiting for the new Smash to come out, I'm going through a bit of a revival with my Wii U, dusting off a few games in my system's backlog (Wind Waker HD, Darksiders 1, Xenoblade Chronicles).
I was playing yesterday and the game stopped working properly toward the end of a match (I got stuck in a flight of stairs and could not get out. Half of the buttons on my left Joycon stopped working). I quit and played my PS4 version.
I'm cleaning up looking for costumes in Super Mario Odyssey (got the King's and Invisibility outfits last night) and doing a few Pokemon raids in Pokemon GO.
On one hand, this is a cool idea. On the other, I did see a used copy of Diablo III Eternal Collection on PS4 for $18 this afternoon.
EDIT: The thing saving the Switch version for me is that two players can each have a single Joycon and do multiplayer and I currently don't have a second PS4 controller...
The only thing that sticks out to me is Okami, but I don't think I'll quadruple drip (PS2, Wii, PS3...with a Platinum Trophy). All the same, if you haven't played it, I'd still give it a solid recommendation at $20, especially if you love the old school Zelda formula with a heavy feudal Japan influence.
I always considered it in the Adult Link timeline, because Zelda briefly mentions the hero in twlight in a flashback. All the same, it's fun to speculate.
I'm good with my vanilla digital version, thank you, but I'm glad to see the option available for fans who prefer to have most of the content in one neat package.

Re: Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD - An Inferior Clone Of An Already Divisive Game
I'm still on the fence. On one hand, I'm on a Final Fantasy kick and wouldn't mind experiencing XV (either on Switch or the full version on PS4). On the other, XIII left a bad taste in my mouth.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 15th)
I finished my Kanto Pokedex in Pokemon Go yesterday, but I'm still working on the Celebi quest. Meanwhile, I may play some Fortnite and Rocket League.

Re: Bastion - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
I dig my hole, you build a wall...
Re: Fortnite Update On Switch Sacrifices Video Capture Feature To Enhance Performance
I'm just glad they got a working solution (for now). Recording gameplay clips really isn't important to me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 8th)
Probably just Pokemon Go.
Re: PES 2019 Knocks Nintendo Off The Top Of The Japanese Charts
Of all the hardware, only the 2DS and 2DS LL managed to sell more than last week.

Re: Epic Games Now Working With Nintendo To Improve Fortnite Performance On Switch
I was playing yesterday and the game stopped working properly toward the end of a match (I got stuck in a flight of stairs and could not get out. Half of the buttons on my left Joycon stopped working). I quit and played my PS4 version.
Re: Sony Won't Allow Fortnite Cross-Play Because "PlayStation Is The Best Place To Play"
Hate to say it, but with all the bugs and glitches in the Switch version, Yoshida might have a point about PS4 being the best place to play the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 1st)
I'm cleaning up looking for costumes in Super Mario Odyssey (got the King's and Invisibility outfits last night) and doing a few Pokemon raids in Pokemon GO.
Re: Diablo III On Switch Will Include amiibo Support, According To Blizzard Developer
On one hand, this is a cool idea. On the other, I did see a used copy of Diablo III Eternal Collection on PS4 for $18 this afternoon.
EDIT: The thing saving the Switch version for me is that two players can each have a single Joycon and do multiplayer and I currently don't have a second PS4 controller...
Re: Rainway App Is Apparently Still In Development For Nintendo Switch
No Linux support (...yet. "More platforms will be available soon" according to the website).
Re: Get Up To 50% Off Top Nintendo Select Titles In North America Right Now
Maybe Donkey Kong Country Returns. I missed it the first few times around.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th August (North America)
I think there might be enough indie games to do a Humble Bundle now (though they do book bundles and curate their store more than anything nowadays).
Re: Spewart Hat And Suit Added To Super Mario Odyssey
I might play Odyssey once a week or so, but definitely not enough to keep up with the new DLC.
Re: Nintendo Is Launching Brand New Starter Packs For Top Switch Games In North America
I'd much rather have a "Nintendo Selects" line for the Switch, but that probably won't come to the system for at least another year or so.
Re: Nintendo Airing Special Mobile Direct Broadcast For New Game Dragalia Lost
It kind of reminds me of the game Zenonia.
Re: Indie Classics Bastion And Transistor Are Both Bound For Nintendo Switch
I absolutely LOVE Bastion!

@FlimFlam @NEStalgia Thank you both!

I really appreciate all of these drawings that NintendoLife is offering.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 25th)
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Go, and maybe Undertale.
Re: Nintendo Grabbed Every Top Ten Spot In Japanese Charts Last Week, Minecraft On Top
@ryancraddock Would you please clarify the sales numbers for the Xbox One? "Xbox One – 51 1(31)"?
Re: Japan Retailer Reveals Its Minecraft Sales On Switch Rapidly Outsold Wii U Version
Now I'm curious how these numbers compare to the PSVita version of Minecraft, which has played a huge role in the system's continued success in Japan.
Re: Rumour: Leak Signals Blizzard's Diablo 3 Will Unleash Hell On Switch This Year
Looks like we have to get a Pro Controller now (or an 8bitdo Pro).
Re: Undertale Collector's Edition Secures Western September Release On Switch
It's currently on sale at GOG for $5. I think I'll go with that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th August (North America)
The only thing that sticks out to me is Okami, but I don't think I'll quadruple drip (PS2, Wii, PS3...with a Platinum Trophy). All the same, if you haven't played it, I'd still give it a solid recommendation at $20, especially if you love the old school Zelda formula with a heavy feudal Japan influence.
Re: All Five Of The New Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Will Receive amiibo Figures
A better investment than V-Bucks.

Cool!
Re: Niantic Hopes To Have Player vs Player Battles In Pokémon GO By The End Of The Year
You looked at me funny! Let's battle!
Re: Breath Of The Wild Has Been Added To The Zelda Series Timeline, But There's A Catch
I always considered it in the Adult Link timeline, because Zelda briefly mentions the hero in twlight in a flashback. All the same, it's fun to speculate.
Re: Nintendo Applies For Endless Ocean Trademark In Japan, Could This Wii Title Resurface From The Deep?
This is a Wii game I really enjoyed! I wouldn't mind seeing a comeback.
