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 😂
A known clickbait YouTuber started hard pushing may 15th last week before this guy. We’ll see, we have 16 days left till the direct, maybe just be patient.
From what I understand FF6 amounts to about half of the Pixel Remaster sales. Still impressive as that means each one sold about 830k on average and even if FF6 is half the sales it’s still about 500k per entry between 1 to 5.
Don’t think this will be good for Pokemon GO, Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now seeing how Saudi devs treat SNK. We’ll see, always skeptical when Saudi Arabian Emirates invest massively in pop culture media.
I just beat Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on Ps5, close to the platinum too as I only have a handful of things left like 3 more crewmates, beat amon, donthe minatonsubstories and complete the baseball minigame.
Besides that I started playing Bakeru on my Switch which I’m thoroughly enjoying at the moment.
The plan is to start either Sea of Stars or Star Wars: Jedi Survivor after.
@jimnorman the legends games are mainline. Think like how both 2d and 3d zelda and mario are mainline and how both the metroidvania and prime metroids are mainline.
Legends co-exists as a second type of mainline series alongside the traditional entries (this has been confirmed by TPC and GameFreak)
@wanghosom like Pushsquare mentioned. Digital Ps5 sales have taken off tremendously since in Japan. It’s also kinda an unfair comparison when the ps5 is nowhere near as popular as the switch in Japan. Let’s celebrate this rare win for PlayStation instead of going “Switch did it better”
While they’re not credited as such by Sega RGG is also and has always been (since before they where called RGG) the developer of Monkey Ball (since the arcade original). And they’re supposedly also developing Virtua Fighter 6.
Comparing Palworld to games that blatantly steal assets from pokemon is kinda silly and malicious.
It’s like saying “watch out It Takes Two” after Take-Two Interactive manages to strike down someone reselling GTA III on the google play store.
Trying to beat The Messenger on Switch, I’m already at the end apparently. Also started Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii on Ps5 and I started a second route in Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes on Switch.
@TCKuma the ps3 original is amazing. It’s sad the remaster is a broken buggy mess that didn’t bother with licensing the old soundtrack and had the developers straight up block Gunn and Suda from any involvement when they offered to help out with licensing the music to maintain the original experience.
I’m excited for this one. I heard the premise will be Deadly, atleast Six times as exciting as the previous one. I don’t want to get Lost in the World of these movies.
“The PC original” @JimNorman I assume you meant the PSP original? PC version is a port of the PSP game. The sky trilogy was a psp exclusive inititially.
From what I understand DK64 is hell to emulate due to a slowdown bug that makes mandatory minigames incompletable which is present in basically all emulators, both official and unlicensed.
@olliemar28 this isn’t a pokemon knock off. It’s a knock off of the viral steam hit TCG Card Shop Simulator which is an actual great game. Ps5 has had issues with both Card Shop Sim knock offs and Supermarket Sim knockoffs lately a lot too.
It’s time the official products make the jump to psn and the eshop.
@Broosh the review was made by a professional critic. This list is user voted and automatically rearranges based on average user scores. No contradictions at all.
Every opening statement of every NintendoLife list starts with this information.
@Savage_Joe they already returned to Dragon Engine for Gaiden and 8 and said they’re never returning to UE due to bad experience. Although saying they returned to DE is a bit deceptive. It’s basically Dragon Engine 2 which is why Gaiden and 8 run much better.
If pacing issues is such a big con I expect NintendoLife to review this entire franchise low sadly.
I’ve played all games including stuff like FotNS: Lost Paradise and Judgment and these games just constantly interrupt you with cutscenes, side stuff and more. I don’t think that’s a bad thing honestly.

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).

@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

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: 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.

Re: Chances Are You've Never Heard Of Nightdive Studio's Latest Switch Rerelease
Actually a friend of mine owns an incredibly rare original boxed copy which is how I know of the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th March)
Just beat Bakeru on Switch half an hour ago. Debating on wether to continue Jedi: Survivor on Ps5 or wether to start Sea of Stars on the Switch.
Re: Dadish Dev's Adorable Gravity-Bending Platformer Jumps Onto Switch Today
@sdelfin thanks for the headsup. My laptop is outdated and I prefer playing on Switch but I appreciate you let me know regardless.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters Land New Update As Series Passes 200 Million Sales

Still impressive as that means each one sold about 830k on average and even if FF6 is half the sales it’s still about 500k per entry between 1 to 5.
Re: PSA: Don't Be Fooled, This Blatant Rip-Off Isn't The 'Content Warning' You Want On Switch
I’m so out of loop with viral games these days.
I assume this is the newest hit with streamers, youtubers and influencers?
Re: Dadish Dev's Adorable Gravity-Bending Platformer Jumps Onto Switch Today
I just wishlisted all Dadish games on the eshop. Will wishlist this one too.
Re: Niantic Sells Pokémon GO And Entire Gaming Division For $3.5 Billion
Don’t think this will be good for Pokemon GO, Pikmin Bloom and Monster Hunter Now seeing how Saudi devs treat SNK.

Re: Opinion: Legends Z-A's Xenoblade-Style Battles Are Pokémon's Most Exciting Evolution In Years
@jimnorman the legends games are mainline.
Think like how both 2d and 3d zelda and mario are mainline and how both the metroidvania and prime metroids are mainline.
Legends co-exists as a second type of mainline series alongside the traditional entries (this has been confirmed by TPC and GameFreak)
Re: Japanese Charts: Monster Hunter Wilds Gives The PS5 The Boost It Really Needs
@wanghosom like Pushsquare mentioned. Digital Ps5 sales have taken off tremendously since in Japan.
It’s also kinda an unfair comparison when the ps5 is nowhere near as popular as the switch in Japan.
Let’s celebrate this rare win for PlayStation instead of going “Switch did it better”
Re: SEGA Wants To "Reinforce" Its Core Studios, But Don't Expect New Games Soon
While they’re not credited as such by Sega RGG is also and has always been (since before they where called RGG) the developer of Monkey Ball (since the arcade original).
And they’re supposedly also developing Virtua Fighter 6.
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo Switch Launched On This Day Eight Years Ago
Been there since day 1, bought 253 physical games and a good 70 digital games, it’s my most played console alongside my ps5.
I’ll be there day 1 for Switch 2 again, it was my best purchase and the OLED made it even better.

Re: The Pokémon Company Catches A Win In Lawsuit Against Another Rip-Off App

Re: Poll: Which Pokémon Game Really Deserves A Remake Next?
@TheRazzBerry in that case Crystal would be next in line since LGPE was a remake of Yellow, not FRLG.
Re: Poll: Which Pokémon Game Really Deserves A Remake Next?
Well if we go by literal tradition and patterns it’s factually Black & White.
That one is next in line literally. My guess is for Switch 2 in 2027 after gen 10 in 2026.

It’s all gonna sell out in a week and eBay will be filled with everything at 50x markups. Tis a sad world for Pokemon fans.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Teases "Nightmare Mode" Update For Switch

Re: Nintendo Sets Up New Subsidiary In Taiwan
Good that they’re opening local subsidiaries but then why close Nintendo of Benelux and fuse them into Nintendo of France and Nintendo of Germany?
Re: Nintendo Will "Likely" Price The Switch 2 At $399, Says Analyst

Re: Looks Like Fire Emblem & Paper Mario Dev Intelligent Systems Is Hiring
@alanahagues like @SlasherZ said TTYD on Switch is a remake, not a remaster.

Re: Random: Breaking Fortnite's 'No Emote Zone' Rules Now Comes With Some Hefty Consequences
@nuff64 Switch 2 please save my portable Fortnite experience!
I mainly play it on ps5 because switch is just way too bad.
However I do like to organize my locker presets on Switch.
Re: Random: Now Pokémon Is Getting Its Own 'TCG' Rip-Off On The Switch eShop
@olliemar28 this isn’t a pokemon knock off. It’s a knock off of the viral steam hit TCG Card Shop Simulator which is an actual great game. Ps5 has had issues with both Card Shop Sim knock offs and Supermarket Sim knockoffs lately a lot too.

Re: Reaction: Rest Easy, Folks, Your Switch Backlog Ain't Going Anywhere
@IronMan30 my guess is an FPS boost system like ps5 and XSX have and the ability to run games in their docked performance while portable.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th October)
Just beat Ys VIII: -Lacrimosa of DANA- this morning and started playing Dino Crisis.
Might continue playing Mega Man 8 and I was thinking about starting Banjo-Tooie
Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami (Switch) - A Decent Port Of An Ambitious, Frustrating Game
@Savage_Joe they already returned to Dragon Engine for Gaiden and 8 and said they’re never returning to UE due to bad experience.
Although saying they returned to DE is a bit deceptive. It’s basically Dragon Engine 2 which is why Gaiden and 8 run much better.
Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami (Switch) - A Decent Port Of An Ambitious, Frustrating Game
If pacing issues is such a big con I expect NintendoLife to review this entire franchise low sadly.
