“No, it’s not generative AI” Sad we need these disclaimers. Procedural generation requires a lot of coding and actual manpower to work. One of the biggest games ever, Minecraft, is fully procedurally generated and that game is 16 years old.
@jimnorman the recent Arc System Works datamine also contained references to a Hotel Dusk and Last Window remake and they also did the Another Code remake and they’re made up of former Cinq staff.
I’m playing in Japanese anyway, Yakuza is one of the few games I can’t stand in English but that might be because I played majority of games before English was even an option.
Got 1000GS in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on the XSX. Playing through Asura’s Wrath and its DLC on Ps3 atm.
Almost done so I’ll play God of War on Ps3 after. Switch is benched atm till the Switch 2 releases.
I already rarely buy games day one, usually only reserve that for FF, Like a Dragon and Pokemon. Most of my gaming purchases are on sale or second hand at fleamarkets and CEX.
First thing I did yesterday was check if I could still play everything as I use 5 accounts (my main Europe one, my old US one, my current US one, my JP one and my mom’s account.) Luckily I still can.
Shame they disabled this feature. YouTubers where acting like it was an unintended exploit despite Nintendo’s official website having a guide on how this very much intended feature worked (page was deleted yesterday)
Playing Oblivion on my Xbox. Definitely double dipping this if it comes to Switch 2. Also replaying We Love Katamari for the 3rd time. Besides that it’s King’s Day in The Netherlands so lots of fleamarkets.
@KoopaTheGamer @Ravenmaster I literally went “how is this Bioshock inspired? Is it because you play as a diver? They know Big Daddy isn’t a diver right?”
Like at that point Bioshock is Scooby Doo inspired with Captain Cutler.
Playing Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on my 3DS. Not much else this easter weekend. Might start Wario Land 4 or Densetsu No Stafy 2 after on my Switch.
@Hank_Scorpio he isn’t criticizing Nintendo not innovating in relation to other platform holders. He’s saying that the Switch 2 feels precisely like a move that any other platform holder would do, something that Nintendo would never do normally.
@JaxonH boggling down my criticism to a simple “it’s not fair” is kinda bad faith.
I wasn’t saying “it’s not fair”, I was saying “it’s not a fair argument because there’s more factors to it”
Inflation doesn’t exist in a bubble, rising cost of living and stagnating wages play an equal part in this argument.
@Angelic_Lapras_King the Sonic Advance trilogy and Billy Hatcher are the dream. Also please Capcom give us all 3 Viewteful Joe games and the Disney Magical Quest trilogy.
Got an e-mail saying I’d get an invite immediately after the Direct and got the pre order e-mail yesterday. Managed to pre order a Switch 2 MKW bundle, a carrying case, the travel case, a GCN controller and an SD cart.
Also managed to get a pre order at a local store but cancelled that one.
Mario Kart World, Yakuza 0 and Cyberpunk for me at launch. Then Donkey Kong and Tony Hawk in July. And for the remainder of the year Hyrule Warriors, Pokemon and Hollow Knight Silksong.
@Duncanballs pachter said the ps4 and Switch would flop because mobile gaming would take over console gaming and said the ps5 would flop because PC gaming would take over.
Bayonetta 3. Literally all musou games (not just for the framerate but also to be on par with ps4’s on screen enemy count). Link’s Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom (if Switch 1 games won’t have an fps boost system like ps4 on ps5 and Xone on XSX).
@johnedwin honestly something Japanese companies aren’t strangers to. Sega licensed Bayonetta to Nintendo and Platinum and they also licensed Streets of Rage and House of the Dead to western developers. Nintendo Licensed Cruisin’ to GameMill to make Cruisin’ Blast.
@fenlix bandai is doing these remasters. Sony is licensing them but if Freedom Wars is an indication they’ll still be on the box and in the logo opening and credits of the games.
Almost done with Sea of Stars on Switch, I was recommended to pursue the true ending. Not sure what to play next yet but Octopath Traveler 2, Elec-Head, Grapple Dog, Jedi Survivor and Princess Peach Showtime are all on the shortlist.
This would be like PushSquare making an article on PlayStation renewing their EUFA world cup deal or PureXbox reporting on Xbox still sponsoring Doritos and Mountain Dew 😂

Re: Nintendo Today! Update Prevents Users From Recording Promotional Videos
@Michael0916 the difference is reporting on game news shared on the official Nintendo app is called journalism.
Copying articles by a news website 1:1 is plagiarism.
NintendoLife isn’t plagiarizing Nintendo, they’re reporting on news shared by Nintendo in their own words.
Re: Rumour: A Nintendo Direct May Drop Around The Switch 2's Launch
Did we expect otherwise?
Like we barely know about games past July.
At the very least I’m expecting a partner showcase and nindies direct.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th May)
Hotel Dusk on the DS and Fortnite on the Switch and Ps5.
Not much in anticipation for the Switch 2. Gonna be a slow 12 days.

Re: Nintendo Files New Trademark For A DS Cult Classic
@Axecon datamined (which I guess can be considered a form of leaking) but yes. Arc sys is developing these like they did with another code.

Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 May Be Heading To Switch 2 Pretty Soon
I was on the fence debating on buying RDR2 on ps4 for €10 but I’ll gladly pay €50+ to play it on NS2!
Re: Rumour: New Leak May Explain Why So Many Switch 2 Physicals Are Game Key Cards
I read this leaker tends to fill in gaps of information with personal assumptions and is very unreliable.
Re: Yakuza 0? It Can't Be! Check Out David Hayter In Sega's Switch 2 Launch Title
Literally just snake
I’m playing in Japanese anyway, Yakuza is one of the few games I can’t stand in English but that might be because I played majority of games before English was even an option.
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Remake Will Let You Extend The Career Mode Timer

Is This the first day and date gen 9 exclusive multiplatform game confirmed for NS2?
Re: Feature: The Long & Rainbow Road To 'Mario Kart World', From SNES To Switch 2
Nuts how people rated SNES higher than GBA.
SNES is so bare bones and boring while GBA has actual fun track themes and designs!

Re: PSA: You Can Still Play One Game Across Two Switches, But Not Online Anymore

Luckily I still can.

Re: Poll: After One Month, How Often Are You Actually Using 'Nintendo Today'?
Surprised I use it daily. The MKW screenshots and NSO GCN clips are just too fun.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th April)
Playing Oblivion on my Xbox.
Definitely double dipping this if it comes to Switch 2.
Also replaying We Love Katamari for the 3rd time. Besides that it’s King’s Day in The Netherlands so lots of fleamarkets.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th April)
Playing Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on my 3DS.
Not much else this easter weekend. Might start Wario Land 4 or Densetsu No Stafy 2 after on my Switch.
Re: Feature: The Switch 2 Sticks Might Not Be Hall Effect, But They Feel Fantastic
Feel is cool and all but the big question in anyone’s mind is how frequent will drift be?
As long as that’s fixed we’re okay!
Re: Best 4K TVs For Nintendo Switch 2
The Samsung one has basically none existent latency so I definitely recommend it.
Re: Watch: Got Questions About Switch 2? Ask Alex - Live!
Are you excited for a potential Doshin on NSO?
Re: Sony Vet Shuhei Yoshida Says Nintendo Is "Losing Their Identity" With Switch 2
@Hank_Scorpio he isn’t criticizing Nintendo not innovating in relation to other platform holders.
He’s saying that the Switch 2 feels precisely like a move that any other platform holder would do, something that Nintendo would never do normally.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th April)
Halfway through Mario & Luigi Superstar Sage on my Switch.
Also started playing Gato Robotto and Planescape Torment.
If only it was June 5th already.

Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch 2's Launch Price Compare To Past Nintendo Systems?
Adjusting for inflation is dumb when incomes don’t rise with inflation and spending power has decreased since the NES days.
Re: Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Finally Has Release Date, Out On Switch 2 Day One
Wonder if Professor Layton will also be €70 on Switch 1 and €80 on Switch 2.
Re: Three Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@Angelic_Lapras_King the Sonic Advance trilogy and Billy Hatcher are the dream.

Re: Poll: Did You Get A Switch 2 Purchase Invite From Nintendo Yet? (Europe)
Got an e-mail saying I’d get an invite immediately after the Direct and got the pre order e-mail yesterday.

Gonna watch today again.
Re: Sale Predictions Remain Unchanged Despite Switch 2 Price Concerns
@Duncanballs pachter said the ps4 and Switch would flop because mobile gaming would take over console gaming and said the ps5 would flop because PC gaming would take over.
None of his predictions rang true.
Re: EA Commits To Switch 2, Will Be Bringing EA Sports FC And Madden NFL To The System
Give me the Jedi games, Dragon Age Veilguard and Mass Effect Trilogy instead
Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Hopes Rise As Square Enix Teases Anniversary Projects
Happy 25th birthday to one of the, if not the, best games ever made.
Hope that elusive remake is still real and not internally cancelled.
Re: Talking Point: Which Switch Game Needs A 'Nintendo Switch 2 Edition' The Most?
Bayonetta 3. Literally all musou games (not just for the framerate but also to be on par with ps4’s on screen enemy count). Link’s Awakening and Echoes of Wisdom (if Switch 1 games won’t have an fps boost system like ps4 on ps5 and Xone on XSX).
Re: Iconic Sony Sports Series 'Everybody's Golf' Tees-Off On Switch This Year
@Oyaji_Music everybody’s Golf is what Hot Shot’s Golf was called in Europe and Japan
Re: Sony's Back On Switch With A Delightful New PSP Remaster
@johnedwin honestly something Japanese companies aren’t strangers to.
Sega licensed Bayonetta to Nintendo and Platinum and they also licensed Streets of Rage and House of the Dead to western developers.
Nintendo Licensed Cruisin’ to GameMill to make Cruisin’ Blast.
Re: Iconic Sony Sports Series 'Everybody's Golf' Tees-Off On Switch This Year
Important to Note that Camelot used to make this series for Sony before Nintendo bought them.
Re: Sony's Back On Switch With A Delightful New PSP Remaster
@fenlix bandai is doing these remasters. Sony is licensing them but if Freedom Wars is an indication they’ll still be on the box and in the logo opening and credits of the games.
Re: Sony's Back On Switch With A Delightful New PSP Remaster
@N00BiSH they meant a remaster of the 3rd one. 3rd one already exists.
Re: Sony's Back On Switch With A Delightful New PSP Remaster
Between Patapon, Everybody’s Golf, Freedom Wars and Lego Horizon I love this Sony support on Switch.
Hoping for Ape Escape and God of War next.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch 2 To Launch In June With 3-Phase Software Plan
Is it really a rumor when it’s straight from GDC which Nintendo always attends?
This is likely true.
Re: Random: Not Even Horror Maestro Stephen King Can Crack A Good Pokémon Joke
Man it’s really a news drought. Can’t wait for April 2nd.
Jk, love you NintendoLife, I know these articles exist as light hearted fun inbetween the actual news.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Will Add Lots Of New Mega Evolutions, It's Claimed
Rather take new evolutions and kalosian forms like what Arceus did.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd March)

Not sure what to play next yet but Octopath Traveler 2, Elec-Head, Grapple Dog, Jedi Survivor and Princess Peach Showtime are all on the shortlist.

Re: Chances Are You've Never Heard Of Nightdive Studio's Latest Switch Rerelease
@Zuljaras that actually wasn’t a new physical. It was new old stock they sold after it was found and they got the rights to sell it.
