@rjejr I mean, seeing as you asked so nicely. :/

We're looking into the price, nothing's been announced yet.

@LavaTwilight You do a doughnut, but it's not the 64-style turn-on-a-dime spin I want. I'll improve with time, but I just want a bit more manoeuvrability.

@EarthboundBenjy Indeed, I'm looking into it.

@Samalik Can we not start with the side eye? We've got a page dedicated to specifically listing Game-Key Cards (and another listing all the proper on-the-cart releases), and we're keeping our database up to date with confirmed GKCs, so any game page should say exactly what type of 'physical' release a game's getting, if applicable.

I've updated D7C's game page and this post with a line referencing the release type.

@Greenmanalishi It's labelled VERY clearly with the 'Random' prefix, it gives appropriate context, and it answers a question (in the headline itself, in fact) that people, often younger gamers, are asking online.

Not sure how this could possibly be interpreted as misinformation! A crossover isn't a total impossibility, but it almost certainly isn't some hint at Link appearing in Crossworlds. As the article says. And the headline.

@PikminMarioKirby Yes.

@Lizuka You spent 70 hours playing a game you really didn’t enjoy?

@drypaphmrbro People tore those down last week. In fact, I'll add a line about that.

@BaldB3lper78 I've only tested Airpods (an old pair of Pros) so far, and they worked fine with GameChat. I imagine they'll all be much of a muchness in practice.

@BoilerBroJoe I wasn't able to find workaround when I did it - it reached the 256GB limit for me and then gave me the option to cancel all downloads.

@Friendly Yep, we'll be keeping this up to date throughout the generation (it's tied directly to our games database, which we continually maintain), so feel free to bookmark away.

Okay, we’ll be closing down the comments as we head off for the weekend. Seems like there’s some heart-fixing to be done, but we should also remember how a vocal minority can appear to dominate in an enclosed space - the comments section on a video game website, for instance.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

@nessisonett Of course transphobia is against our rules, which you must know given how active you are on the site and how we moderate our articles. Is the drive-by insinuation really necessary? It's extremely dispiriting when a long-time reader casually suggests that "perhaps" we're just cool with it. Is that the impression we've given over all these years?

Apologies to everyone that it took so long to clean things up. We'll close comments at the end of the day, but for anyone who needs a reminder of our community rules, please review them before posting.

@Kraven @awp69 Pipistrello was in last week's list. Nintendo's approach to dates in the DL updates isn't massively consistent but everything gets featured somewhere.

Reviews for both Pipistrello and Fantasy Life are in the works.

@Ulysses Weird! I definitely put that in because I went through our list one-by-one...

The artmonkeys up to mischief again, I imagine. I've reinstated it now.

Ah, the sunbeams are out, I see!

A drop of positivity doesn't mean ignoring the bad, it just means not rolling around in the mud and throwing it into every single corner of the room. Plenty of places to go for that already!

@Munchlax The art monkeys strike again. I've given them the sternest of talking-tos.

@Jack_Goetz Bleh, I'm always mixing Deluxe and Definitive! 🙃 At least I didn't write 'Chonicles'. Zapped.

@DashKappei Reviews are automatically populated with a random selection of screenshots < check out those for a broader overview.

Having searched around for decent key art for this, though, it's safe to say that this one doesn't make the best impression in static screens. Check out the trailer if the screens put you off.

@antonvaltaz Indeed! Added, thanks.

@KociolekDoSyta I mean, it doesn’t go directly into my bank account, if that’s what you mean. 😄 But yes, it goes into the business that pays our wages, owned by people we chat with on a daily basis.

If you’re interested in NL ownership deets, you can find them here.

@CaleBoi25 Hmm, they should be appearing now.

@CaleBoi25 We'll be reporting any big news or interesting footage/things the app throws up, but a regular round-up feels like overkill given the bite-sized nature of the app. It would be like rounding up Nintendo's twitter feed every week! We love a silhouette quiz but given how widely available the app is, I'd say our time is better spent elsewhere.

@OorWullie @RupeeClock Thanks, I've made edits in both cases.

@MatoFilipovic Gravity Circuit featured back in October '23 - I still need to catch up with it!

Just to note that, yep, this is a 10-year-old review, so @-ing people above will have a variable success rate.

@Markiemania95 Yep, proximiiniiniiiity chat.

@RodSD64 True - I've added 'Expansion Pack' to that line.

@Quarth Still nothing. I've added another update with the Vooks response for now.

@IronMan30 I've added the update info to the top of the article and the tag to better surface that we're still waiting for word on this.

I think reporting tentatively on a customer rep's written comment is fine, but I don't want to confuse things further by 'confirming' contradicting info without getting direct answers from a higher source.

@jco83 We're still waiting on confirmation from Nintendo itself — not a customer service rep or a store rep — before updating. There's already enough contradictory info flying around and we want a 100% definitive answer from Nintendo itself before publishing anything else.

@OldGamer999 From what I saw, it’s 4:3 only, as per the original game. With the UI considerations, a 16:9 option would take more than injecting a line of code into the ROM and this is framed as the OG experience.

@jco83 Thanks for the heads-up - I've edited that into the post.

Okay, we'll be closing the comments on this as we clock off for the evening over here in the UK. Thanks to everyone who contributed constructively and respectfully.

@Picola-Wicola We've got some details in here - are you in the US?
https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/where-to-pre-order-nintendo-switch-2

@JohnnyMind So it is - should be there now.

Remember, we've put a three-game minimum in order to qualify as a 'collection', people!

We'll agree to disagree with various publisher labels, but having two spoons and a spoon collection are two different things.

@Guitario I've just uploaded the new screens.

Just a note to new commenters: all the ones above are several years old!

It really has been a whirlwind of a generation! Enormous highs, some corresponding lows, and a life-changing one for many of us. Thank you so much for sharing this, Shiryu.

Hi everyone - just a reminder that the comments above are over a decade old, so @-ing might not get you a reply.

@MegaWatts I wouldn’t say they’re MORE comfortable. I’ve found them practically as comfortable and I like that they’re much closer in form to the OG Joy-Con.

@CJD87 I don't have the Compacts and I'm having trouble finding reliable measurements online. They look wider than these, so that shouldn't be an issue.

These measure around 37mm deep from the face to the back of the grip (excluding the stick on top) and stick out around 47mm from the Switch when attached.

@Synecdoche Hi there. Firstly, all of us at NL understand and agree. Last week we halted all Twitter activity beyond single article auto-posts, the account is no longer monitored, and we're in the process of making changes around social sharing on the site.

From a coverage perspective, Twitter is (for the time being) still a prominent messaging tool for companies and individuals in the video game industry. I imagine there'll be further migration to other platforms in the coming weeks/months, but for now, when other sources are unavailable, we'll continue to link to the relevant source in articles of interest to the wider NL community, some of whom may rely on us for their gaming news.

We're still monitoring the situation closely and will take action as a team and across the wider Hookshot network depending on future 'developments'. But I can assure you that this issue is occupying us massively behind the scenes!

If you or anyone else has any questions or comments on this topic, please reach out via the contact form. Thanks.

@ChessboardMan Done.

Hi everyone! Just to reiterate, the comments above are 'vintage' at this point - @-ing probably isn't going to do much!

We'll be closing the comments up for the evening - our thanks to everyone who's written respectfully and constructively today.

As a reminder, our Community Rules are available to read at your convenience.

@Banjo64 Nobody's pushing anything. Vivian's presence as a prominent trans character in a big Nintendo game is absolutely worth celebrating and that's what this nomination does.

Sounds fantastic, although perhaps one for a couple of months' time when my worldly stress meter has dialled down a tad.

Time to squeeze in a playthrough of the first, though! *Fires up the eShop...

@JohnnyMind Added, thanks!

@Switch4Life Hi, welcome to NL!

All the leaks point to upscaling tech that will output a 4K signal when docked. Nothing confirmed by Nintendo yet, but it seems extremely likely.

That doesn't mean PS5-quality visuals or native 4K but the jump in quality compared to current Switch games on a 4K TV should be substantial.

@JohnnyMind Thanks, that's back where it should be.

The art monkeys nicked it. They've been... dealt with.

@CaleBoi25 Yep, some of the others have posable short legs. I searched for wings and only found some spiny, bat-like ones. Good to know!
