@BTB20 sorry I meant Superstar Baseball (I assume you knew as I was talking about expensive GCN games). That’s like a €250 game in Europe.

Cue people responding to comments from 16 years ago by people that don’t even read NL anymore or tagging a critic that hasn’t written for NL in 15 years 🤪

Only half joking.
Really enjoying this game so far. I missed my chance with a €80 copy a few years ago so I’m glad it hit NSO. Please let the overly expensive GCN games continue coming. Gotcha Force, Skies of Arcadia and Mario Super Sluggers next please.

@Olliemar28 nope I read it after I commented based in the title 😂
My bad!

“Cuphead inspired visuals”? You mean rubberhose artstyle? The artstyle cuphead got from stuff like merry melodies, looney tunes and the likes?

Marvel Tokon is probably the most unlikely since it’s Sony owned despite being developed by Arc Sys

DS2 I guess too but atleast DS1 got ported to Xbox.

@ImpromptuR this is a Japanese game, japan is located in the northern hemisphere.

I just want to know what Ace Attorney Apollo Justice Trilogy and Ace Attorney Investigations Collection sold since the former launched in early 2024.
We haven’t had an update on those 2 since the first month sales of AA AJ T and the closest we got to one was the franchise as a whole selling over 1 million copies between late 2023 and late 2024.

I use Nintendo Music daily although I wish NM would’ve been integrated with Spotify.
I don’t think we’ll see thes OSTs for a good while sadly.

@Vyacheslav333 OP is in its second to last arc atm. They’re probably waiting for the final arc to finish.

I’m currently playing through Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice on the Switch 2 alongside the new Fortnite season which is incredibly fun.

Beyond that I bought some indie games during the eShop Summer Sale.

Hopefully we’ll get the mordor duology on Switch 2.
Copium for War in the North too.

Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice and Fortnite on the Switch 2
Not much else.

That sucks. Glad they’re pulling it.

Also I bet 10 bucks on people defending this because TPC owns the franchise and IP.

@MasterGraveheart this didn’t happen when Sony invested in Epic Games stakes, neither in From Software stakes and in case of Square Enix stakes the exclusivity happened because Sony paid for partial development in the FF7R trilogy.

This won’t happen with Bandai either unless Sony outright buys exclusivity for a game which would’ve happened regardless of being a stake owner.

Gonna get it at a discount
It’s cool the NS2 version has all dlc included in the base package

@Aventurier this wasn’t a thing when I posted my comment 5 years ago 🙂

Edit: also my comment 5 years ago was about official releases. But regardless the homebrew ports weren’t a thing in 2020 either.

@9_10DOH64 he meant this is only DK’s second 3D platformer ever after years of exclusively 2D platformers and spin offs. We’re in no desperate need of a DKC6 atm and it’s only fair we got Bananza, a new 3D platformer, at the cost of DKC6, if it was at the cost of that game at all.

Perfect 10/10 although I still prefer Odyssey overall.
That ending in DKB was just so perfect. Played 20 hours over 4 days and loved it!

@batmanbud2 that’s not really an easter egg and rather a straight up huge spoiler assuming we’re talking about the same character

@PJOReilly it’s Enguarde the Swordfish, not Enguarde the Shark.

@mlt you mean a painta? Yeah that’s one of his 2 playable appearances alongside MKW.

I found a copy for €80 (well below the european value) recently but didn’t have money.

Hope it comes to NSO.

Playing Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2 at the moment. I’m at layer 1.100.
Also bought No More Heroes 1 and 2 last week on sale which I’ll be playing after.
Besides that some more Fortnite on PS5

@LazyDaisy @Fiergala there was a leak that Hunter Schafer was cast as Zelda, she’s a transwoman.
@DadJKP is misgendering her.

@SwitchplayerJohn “we are fast approaching autumn”
Summer only started 23 days ago in the northern hemisphere, we still have a good 69 days of summer left.

So glad Bandai chose to put this on a full 64gb cartridge but is putting Elden Ring on a key cart.

@Pearl-NX soul Calibur 2 was 16+ on GCN and PEGI rerated it to 12+ for NSO

They should atleast let us select regional versions to download. The reason the app is so bloated is because it downloads both the PAL and NTSC versions doubling its size.

This would make sense for something like Luigi’s Mansion where the extra mansion is completely different between regions but not for something like mario strikers where only the languages available differ.

He mentions in the video the input delay on NSO is 7-8 frames, on PC emulation is 4-5 frames and on original hardware is 3-4 frames.
That sounds like a very minimal difference to me TBH.

Edit: Although in the video he does say the emulation is great just not as perfect as it could be

Used to be Rosalina. It’s Touring Daisy now.

Bought Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Edition on my Switch 2 yesterday. Also still enjoying my replay of Yakuza 0 through Yakuza 0 Directors Cut. Besides that I’m still playing Mario Kart World online with friends.

Been thinking about starting Odin Sphere on my Ps5 though.

Still insane we’re getting so many Sony games on Switch.
Horizon ZD and FW on NS2 next please Sony!

This was known right? I thought Jim Ryan, Herman Hulst and other Sony people have said thos before?
They see the NS1 (and presumably 2) as something Ps4 and Ps5 owners will own alongside their PlayStation IIRC, not instead of.

@N00BiSH Nintendo hasn’t credited music artists in a few games now, didn’t credit the original developers in several of their remakes and remasters and doesn’t credit the musicians for Nintendo Music.
Also according to Nintendo their philosophy is the game soundtracks should speak for themselves, not the talent behind them.

Nope but I also don’t mind light wear and tear. Means the console was used well throughout its life (and I’m very careful with my devices).

@rjejr I only read the announcement tweet. Caught red-handed 😂

@Liam_Doolan Expeditions isn’t a new mode, it’s the new name for what’s currently called Odyssey.
The main lego survival mode gets renamed whenever a huge content update hits.

The community apparently has found 394 switches and 185 medallions so far and they’re not sure if that’s everything yet.

I beat Soul Calibur II on NSO and put 22 hours into Mario Kart World.
I’m currently playing Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and replaying Yakuza 0.
Good stuff.

SomeOrdinairyGamer/Mutahar also mentioned it’s inbetween a ps4 pro and XSS leaning closer to XSS capabilities thanks to DLSS

It’s 66% off atm. Get this game. I did and it’s amazing!

No upgrade paths for Sega games is the worst offender. Absolutely no excuse when games like No Man’s Sky and Hogwarts Legacy that completely overhaul the game have upgrades but PPT2 and SxSG which are just the same game again with minor additions in PPT2’s case ask the full €50.

@Vyacheslav333 plenty of Japanese games get written with the English dub in mind first.
Both Final Fantasy 16 and Dragon Quest 11 where written and made for English. Hell DQ11 didn’t even have a Japanese dub when it originally launched in Japan, the Japanese dub wasn’t added till the Switch 1 rerelease which was well after the English dub got made.

@mikegamer while I agree that LaD should always be experienced in Japanese I don’t think it “objectively” ruins it, people can prefer dubs over subs and are well in their right to do so.

Also “part of the problem”? What problem? Almost every Japanese game these days has the option to be played in Japanese alongside the dubs. It’s not like the demand for dubs is causing a removal of the Japanese original.

Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite on my shiny new Switch 2
Besides that I want to test some Switch 1 games like Super Mario Odyssey and Link’s Awakening.

I don’t like that this mission isn’t a permanent addition as I’m not getting this game for a while but I’d love to experience it when I do eventually get it.

Excited to get this once it’s fixed

@eza incorrect.
According to Sega the Like a Dragon franchise was underground and mature and they saw the Switch as a childish mass appeal console which didn’t fit LaD.
LaD 0 to 5 are all ps3 games (the west didn’t get 0 and 1 on ps3, Japan did). It had nothing to do with power.

It’s been a great 8 years, 3 months and 2 days!
I’m finishing with a bang and replaying Super Mario Odyssey at the moment.
Excited for Thursday!

@Michael0916 correct. That’s how journalism works, it’s covered by laws about fair use of protected material like the Nintendo Today app.

But if you want to boggle gaming journalism down to NintendoLife stealing Nintendo’s thunder you do you.
