I put so many hours into this with friends! One of my favourite things was creating our own libraries of voices and SFX, sadly that won't be an option on consoles!

I loved this back in the day, played it a lot on PC. I wonder how it stands the test of time, but I'm definitely happy to see it back, and curious to take it for a spin!

Isn’t this list physical only? I have the impression that the physical distribution of Emio hasn’t been very widespread, it seems to be unavailable in various stores, including Nintendo’s. It must be selling more digitally (unlike, say, Bluey, which is typical mall fodder).

@Gavintendo Yes he is.

These are really bad covers! This time I didn't even vote for one ;-D One so aggressive, the other so... unreadable! Moving on...

I did see the trailer and it was enormously offputting.

That a bad localization would be a plus… 😓

Why isn’t there a choice for “I didn’t care for either”?
My favourite in ages was Echoes of Valentía, a remake. That says a lot about the direction of the series…

No wonder then that, the bigger an event becomes, the more companies drop out of it. The event collapses on itself, and a new one replaces it. Insert coin to continue.

@-wc- I suspect it’s rather these commenters’ narrative tastes that have matured much faster than the story has aged. I found each chapters’ introductory texts quite grating back in the day, clichéd and egocentric al (as far as I vaguely remember). Still, I did like how the story evolves later in the game. I’d like to play this edition for the commentary, so in passing I’m sure to see as well how I feel about the story today. We’ll see…

FINALLY I could order my Piranha Plant! ❤️

North American covers always have to be angry or violent, even in franchises like Kirby or Mario. Tells you something...

The Switch doesn't feel so old now, does it?

Everybody in those videos seems to be taking 1-2 prints each. If they were scalpers, they’d grab them by the bunch. I think they’re just fans. Eager, overenthusiastic fans at that.

I was reading and thinking “finally someone on NL who writes as well as Kate Gray!” Didn’t know you were back! 😂

That trailer goes so hard for the tears that it fails.
Gris was great, let's see...

Shouldn't they raise the quality first?

How about those of us who already own Teslagrad on Switch? Do we get a free update? It kinda baffles me that a game can be remastered for a console it’s already on…

There's a demo on the eShop now!

Loved the first game, I hope Teslagrad 2 is up to the task! <3

Fortnite hands down. I don't even like the game, but those colours are the coolest

What source confirms that Layton is coming out 2023?

She'll be sorely missed! My favourite games journalist ever

They rewrote the text! 😂 The whole thing is online:

Plenty to choose from, but nothing as genius as Luigi humming his own theme ;-D

I'm surprised they don't even port the classic Layton games to Switch.

Why “the UK and Europe”? Did Brexit move the UK to a different continent?

After giving me the "Power Boots Mk I", the Inkling Squid (Purple) promises to give me more stuff once I raise my level... I'll report back!

Same with the Inkling Squid orange / green.

I just used the "Inkling Boy (Blue)" and got the "Samurai Shoes (feet), Samurai Jacket (chest), Samurai Helmet (head)".
And then, I didn't get anything from the "Inkling Boy (Purple)". It seems to be whichever of them you read first.

Those are all very conservative “predictions” as they fall fully within the realm of the expected.

Thanks for writing, but you know we're here for the photos, right?

I’m surprised he’s allowed to leak such stories with the NDAs usually in place. He really is milking the Nintencow in his struggle against oblivion.

My phone still has the notification from this afternoon 😅

My favourite games as a kid were Ocean licenses on the Spectrum: Robocob, Batman the Movie, The Untouchables... I wish they would come back!! <3

If all the indies went on a last-minute sale for bargain prices, everybody would win: players would enlarge their collections and get to try new games they would have otherwise ignored, devs would make some money and reach new audiences, and the games would be in many more hands (and SD cards), making them a little bit less rare.

1) Great selection!
2) I need to replay Mario Kart 7 asap! ;-D

@CharlieGirl Who says it was quick?! 😅 It’s a huge game.

"masochists who favoured Sierra adventures over LucasArts", LOL!

It's a pity that both the mechanics and writing are so bad. It was a cool concept.

One of the games of the year! <3

Time to buy the dip!

I’m sure they changed it for the international market. Take into account that it’s the same audio for every language, so it makes sense for lines to be easily understood regardless of your mother tongue. It’s even possible that “whatever” sounds like something rude in some other language, hence the need for a change. (Having said that… yeah, it sounded much nicer before!)

4 episodes of 25-30 minutes? That's not a series: it's a movie

I find this article unfair to both Nintendo and the employee. As his Twitter account's description specifies, he's voicing a personal opinion, not speaking for the company. Plus it's not new information, so why single him out?

Seems like the reasonable thing to do: udpate the main console, which is already 4 years old, and not split the user base, which is huge. My Switch is a bit busted so I'll renew it, otherwise the change wouldn't make sense, but I think that's the whole point.

Those hype trailers started merging together, they were so boring. Made me appreciate Nintendo's approach of showing things mostly when they're practically ready for release.

And then all those skins as global premieres... all those devs waving their names around with nothing new to show... Snorefest!

I don't think I've enjoyed combat in a single Paper Mario game, and I've played them all (but the first one). It's just something I have to put up with.
But in terms of exploration, puzzles and most of all writing, Color Splash and Sticker Star are fantastic. And so is Super Paper Mario on the Wii. I'm not such a big fan of TTYD or Origami King. So there you are, there's an audience for everything.

Physical is only for America, I'm afraid.
Europe seems to be digital only.

It's fighting game. There's nothing "co-op" about it! 😂

Also, this was playable on Switch at GamesCon 2018. Hardly a "surprise" that it eventually would get released...
