Remember a lot of fuss over the Conduit - from IGN especially - and wondering what happened to the Grinder. Seems they took too much on (a lot of grand ideas that didn't seem likely even without hindsight.)
N64 mini could be awesome (depending on games) and I'm struggling to think what improvements a Switch 2.0 could bring (better battery / memory) given i don't think Nintendo would want two separate tiers of systems.
Didn't think this was for me and "brutal slaps of their love letters" both confirmed it and intrigued me! Would definitely like to see more shooters on here eg point blank, crossbow training etc.
Cheers for the written list - nearly didn't click on this as thought would be video only. No list will please everyone but I'd have found room for the excellent Tetris Attack.
I have much less of an issue with articles like this than the ones by anonymous "staff" trying to promote affiliate links. Not sure how rational that is.
Interesting to read "I can’t really disclose all of our guidelines" would like to know why - presumably some of the process is subjective which is ok by me - its their system.
Impressed this was kept relatively quiet after January's ridiculousness (don't think that was Ninty's fault.) Trying to keep expectations down. Tennis aces reference helps.
Wow. 1 - I prefer to read stuff than watch videos. 2 - fascinated by the debate over video quality. 3 - suspect this stuff would get promoted if on Amazon's affiliate program

Re: Defeat Zombie Hordes When Bouncy Bob Bounds Its Way Onto Switch This Month
Initially read this as "Bounty Bob" a platformer for the good old Spectrum I really enjoyed.
That is all.

Nothing, especially with the sale...

Sadly never heard of this and the announcement made it sound like I should have. Keen to check it out.
Re: Review: Clustertruck (Switch eShop)
Anyone else finding the pikachu ad takes over the whole page making it impossible to read stuff in more than ten second bursts?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend
Nothing off the poll, still playing Pokemon Ultra Moon and just started SNES Chrono Trigger.

Re: Nindies Showcase For Nintendo Switch Airing Next Week
Really looking forward to this. Excited there's so much to announce relatively close to E3.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th March (Europe)
Nothing for me. Even the bigger discounts are on games I'm not interested in.
Not complaining - have a lot of untouched games on my Switch!
Re: Review: Kirby Star Allies (Switch)
Really enjoyed epic yarn and looking forward to enjoying this with my two young kids.
Re: Flipping Heck, That Pinball FX3 Switch Patch Is Coming After All
Good for them.
Re: Review: World Conqueror X (Switch eShop)
Love these sorts of games and wish we could get an advance wars or Civilization on switch. This will tide me over.
Re: Review: Bit Dungeon Plus (Switch eShop)
Looks really good but not a "glutton for punishment" and don't have time / energy for really hard games.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Still playing Ultra Moon and Gungeon. Recently rediscovered Tetris Attack on SNES and keen to spend more time on that too.
Re: Review: Flinthook (Switch eShop)
Adding to wishlist to wait for a discount...
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 8th March
I liked the Direct, good in the context of upcoming E3 with a fair share of rapid fire info, surprises and updates / release info.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th March (Europe)
Will get mutant mudds at that price, and 30 in 1 looks like an ideal game for my 2 young kids.
Hoping for something from tonight too....
Re: Video: This New Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition Trailer Is Full To The Brim
Cool. This really grabbed me on WiiU and 3ds and I'll inevitably get it again.
Re: Surprise! There's A New Nintendo Direct Coming, And It's Due Tomorrow
Impressed this was kept relatively quiet after January's ridiculousness (don't think that was Ninty's fault.)
Trying to keep expectations down. Tennis aces reference helps.
Re: Rumour: Is This Really Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Running On Switch?
Personally would much rather Capcom got a few Resi games (5-7 trilogy please!) running on switch.
Re: Review: Subsurface Circular (Switch eShop)
Crikey. Was on fence about this!
Re: Review: A Hole New World (Switch eShop)
Just don't have the time or energy nowadays for punishingly unfairly hard games. Seem to be quite prevalent nowadays.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Top Ten eShop Games From Switch's First Year
I like this article.
Waiting for a sale on many of the games on the list. Gungeon currently my favorite (most played eshop Indie.)
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Likely ultra moon on 3ds, gungeon on switch and some of the switch demos.
Re: Review: Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder Devastated (Switch eShop)
A shame, though the two mission types you mention fit my (probably poor) understanding of what Tower Defence is.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st March (Europe)
Nothing for me today, phew, got enough to be going on with!

Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Eevee Evolution Names: How To Evolve Eevee Into Umbreon, Espeon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, And Flareon
All worked for me a while ago, haven't tried again so don't personally know if one time only but seems to be commonly accepted it is.
Re: Party Planet Gets European eShop Release Under The Name '30-in-1 Game Collection: Volume 1'
I'm learning to change my expectations for my kids, basic repetitive games are a good entry point for them. And Mario Maker!
Re: Netflix Gets An Update, But Not On The Console You Were Perhaps Expecting
Blimey. Still use my WiiU to watch Amazon (though struggle to find anything worth watching) but surprised by this update.
Re: Video: Check Out This New Range Of SteamWorld Merchandise
Love pin badges (brighten up my dull accountants' suit) but wary re shipping from America.
