@AussieMcBucket she did play a human! Near the end she’s like the leader of the human group. She only has one scene if I recall correctly.

Dichen Lachman also had a small role on Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which was director Wes Ball’s previous movie. So it checks out that she’d have a role here.

The way the pacifier was animated, it looked like an invisible Pikmin was carrying it. But knowing Nintendo, this probably means nothing!

The developers have no reason to lie about this. However, the speed argument doesn’t apply to every game currently being sold as a key card. Nintendo should offer lower capacity cartridges and then let developers decide which path to go.

That survey isn't meant to measure games on cart vs key cards, it's measuring key cards vs downloads. I won't hold my breath for the outcome.

This should be the path for smaller/indie games who want to sell physical copies that aren't game key cards. Put it on Switch 1 and give us the option to upgrade on Switch 2.

This one is on my DS Top 10 for sure, maybe even Top 5!

@DashKappei I was gladly surprised by it, too. Hope you enjoy it!!

Doesn’t the premise sound a bit like Breath of the Wild’s? A Goron, a Rito and a Zora (BOTW’s Champions) fight Ganon and a hundred years pass and now must fight him again?

Proud to be the sole person who has ranked this game, but it's a great little game and way more people should play it!!

Star Fox Warriors, please!

@hemonecrophagia thanks a lot!

Glad I passed on the physical copy of this one, I couldn't find a single review when pre-orders were open.

Super Mario Bros. levels 1-1 and 1-2, no doubt!

I'm listening to Jon's last Gamexplain discussion video as I read this news. Glad he's coming to Nintendo Life!

@Jaguar_Wong probably because it's an eshop title. It was a great game and would need a ton of work to port without a Gamepad, but definitely deserves to be on this list.

Maybe Nintendo is releasing Joy-Cons for lefties?

Physical forever!!

@BAN I think the general public can look at that game and think it’s related to Cuphead, which could give Microsoft grounds to take legal action. I’m totally speculating though, I’m no lawyer and perception is completely subjective.

I have the feeling these guys are full of crap. They probably got a 'cease and desist' letter from Microsoft and are trying to make it look like they're being courted by big publishers so they don't have to explain why their Kickstarter is indefinitely postponed. I could be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if we never see this game again.

I, too, played without motion controls, it’s way more precise and let’s you experience the depth of the fighting mechanics. I played Arms for a solid year after I bought it, but then moved on to other games. I love it and hope we see a sequel some day!!

@ryancraddock thanks for clarifying!

The 30% discount probably doesn't count if you own the Wii U copy, does it? (one can dream)

@Agramonte your list is much more complete than the article's.

I think it would be a good idea for you to re-review certain games over time, since day 1 issues are usually fixed with patches and the whole games as a service trend is starting to become a staple with some franchises. But definitely keep the scores, I like 'em!

Couldn't agree more. Yes, the gameplay is great, but you can definitely feel they cut corners in pretty much everything else. The Adventure Mode is fine to me, but not being able to retry challenges or the missing gems definitely threw me off. Also, there's absolutely no incentive to replay Cups once you beat them, no unlockables, no trophies, no rating, nothing. Also, the music is pretty much the same throughout every match. As much as I felt Arms could have used more content, at least what was there was very polished, not the case with Mario Tennis. After 10+ hours of gameplay I'm out of incentives to keep coming back.

I'm waiting for this to happen. 40$ for a download, no thanks!

Godspeed, Tom! We’ll miss you

Not that it's on the top of my list, but Super Mario Run should be included as an option.

I just came back from a 2 week vacation on Spain and every time I went into a GAME or Fnac or Corte Ingles store there were people asking for Switches. I went there in 2015 and it was all about the PS4, so there's definitely a big turnaround in Nintendo's marketing with the Switch.

Oh man, this is kinda evil!

I think the Miitomo ship has sailed for me...

"Audio jack: For connecting commercially available heaphones, microphones or headsets". So you CAN plug a microphone into it. Let's see how they handle voice chat through an app.

I live in NYC but gave up trying to get into these events without waiting an insane amount of hours in line. Still, I love the Nintendo store and visit it a couple of times every month.

@iGen I hope so, too. And sorry about the misspelling.

@iGEn I hope it has touch controls too but it seems strange that the video never showed anyone touching the screen. Also, when you play at home you can't really use the screen because it's docked and shut off, so it's definitely possible there might not be a touch screen at all.

The thing is, they made no mention of the screen actually having touch capabilities, so we don't know for sure if it's a tablet.

SFZ isn't a game you can just grab and play, but once you get used to the controls (and I admit it took a while) you realize how much more immersive they can be. For the most part, the missions are fun and varied and the game is polished and charming. I hope its commercial failure doesn't mean we have to wait another decade for another Star Fox game.

I agree, the Wii U has definitely been a case of quality over quantity. I think Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon form a perfect trifecta of multiplayer greatness, and single player experiences like Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3 and Mario 3D World (I didn't play it in multiplayer) are all stellar. I'm even a sucker for Wonderful 101 and Star Fox Zero, though they're not as popular. And the eShop has a great amount of gems too!

It probably means they won't use a Direct to announce it, since they want to reach a wider audience, not just Nintendo fans.

This happened to me with my Gamecube Memory Card, I never bothered backing it up and one day all the data was corrupted, which means I lost my save data from every single game I had played for the previous 4 years. But hey, I'm still here so, life goes on...

There's been talks of AC: New Leaf DLC so it will probably get mentioned. Hopefully one surprise reveal at least?

They probably need to install a lot of demo stations if it's true the Zelda demo lasts around 90 minutes, so it makes sense to use a lot of space, otherwise lines will be unbearable.

Make sure you also consider 'New 3DS' games, since the collection puts them in a separate category (Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Binding of Isaac are two great games).

I went from a regular old 3DS to a New 3DS XL. Had I owned an old 3DS XL I probably wouldn't have upgraded, but I'm definitely very happy with it!
