RIP Metroid Prime 😢

Haven't read the full review, but the joy/cons are giving 8/10. If this is full physical then I'm down.

As someone who's totally out of the loop re. Guardians characters and story get a good level of enjoyment from this. I do like fun action games, but it's not like I'm short of games to play, so unless it goes dirt cheap I'm wondering if I'll get enough from it to be justify the purchase as a non-fan.

Didn't dislike the NA/Eur cover, but the Japan cover is more fun-looking, and I'm a complete sucka for rainbows, which made my voting decision an easy one.

To the surprise of... anybody?

Might have to get this just for Hat Trick Hero, which is the one Taito arcade game I actually remember playing on an arcade cabinet as a kid and has legendary status in my heart for one simple reason:

But, let's face it, I've bought the first four, so I was likely getting this anyway.

I'm the problem.

Need to watch again to better digest it, but the games that immediately stood out to me as tempting were Tenjutsu, Kitsune, Petal Runner, and Slime Rancher 2. No doubt I'll end up getting several of the others too though.

The other game that really stood out was that one that looked just like Journey, just because it looked just like Journey.

Plenty of other potentials though. I've scored it an 8 out of 10, overall.

Edit: Ha! Just read the blurb above. Turns out the artist for the game (Sword of the Sea) that looks just like Journey is the Journey artist. Who'da thunk?

Hol' up.

Sit down. Away from any breakables or hazards.

I'm about to blow your mind...

Multiple cartridges.

I know.

Take a moment.

You ever seen a multi-disc release before? They actually exist.

🤯

@topher6490 You'd have thought, what with baseball apparently being so popular in Japan, Nintendo would throw the sport a little more love. But Nintendo's approach seems to be along the lines of, "Why please everyone when we can not please everyone?"

Always cautious about games that seem to time their release in a way that suggests they're trying to capitalise on the calendar, so I'll hold off for now and see how the word-of-mouth treats it.

Well, this is a welcome autumnal treat. Let's be real tho, 15 minutes is kinda... lame?

Lashings of spooky and leafy shadow drops, please 🍂👻🍂

Played a bit of the Well Dweller demo recently. Seems good but I found the sound design to be a bit underwhelming in the little I played. Didn't grab me.

@eltomo I was worried I was going to have to type your comment. Thanks for doing what needed to be done.

🤞

**** mom, that's not enough lasagna to serve me, let alones the rest o' yous - better whack in some garlic bread.

But why's he not hooking up with the lovely that poked her head round the door?

HYPE TIME!

Just call it a comeback!

I don't know the game, but I dislike just about everything (not that there's much to it) about the NA cover. It's just a photo of a chump with a gun fetish.

The EU cover has an interesting overall composition. It wouldn't particularly sell me on the game, but it wouldn't put me off it as much as the NA cover does.

One award? Give him sixty-four!

This sucks. I'm always craving more creative software on my Switch, stuff that would let me import and export files, and this kind of thing is why it doesn't happen and is even less likely to happen in the future ☹

I've had SmileBasic on my wishlist for like forever and can't remember off the top of my head whether I've bought it already or not.

@Baker1000 Difference is, when I'm in the car playing AC, I'm belted and sitting responsibly; they were loose inside a campervan and could lean right in. Plus... it's just a commercial so...

This would be great news were it not for the whole price of goods type thing going on in these stores.

There's casual... and then there's comatose 😝

@Baker1000 I've spent plenty of time playing Animal Crossing in the back of a car, with the tablet held in front of me by one of them whatjamathingies. It's tough with more action based games though, due to the vibrations.

Basically the last good thing to happen in the world...

@Cikajovazmaj I never felt quite as robbed as you apparently did with Switch Sports, because I found Soccer to be genuinely revolutionary and kinda justified the outlay by itself, but with it being dropped for this game, I'm baffled.

One of the most common complaints about Switch Sports is the lack of varied golf courses. This review doesn't answer whether that's been addressed.

Dropped sports (wtf is Soccer?)

'Samey' sports (Basketball was unpopular but returns, Volleyball is 'sluggish', Boxing supposedly 'least engaging' (which seems absurd because it should be the most immersive and physical sport of the lot), Bowling on Switch doesn't feel as good as Wii Bowling band was too easy)

9/10 seems to be on pretty dodgy ground.

I wanna get this game but am pissed at Nintendo's continued failure to do a proper job and give us a sports blowout that satisfies expectations built on the legacy of Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort.

Been kinda hoping Nintendo would scale back on the reflectiveness of Link's clothing, but it's still looking mighty reflective in that trailer.

Never doubted this would be a good game, but it's good to see it's getting approval from some of the Castlevania hardcore.

'Uneventful score' reminds me of Metroid Dread.

I'm always on the lookout for a cosy management sim that actually reviews well, so I'll have to check this out, thanks.

@JohnnyMind How did you become aware of this on Kickstarter? Seems like the sort of game that gets lost in the ocean of mid-low quality cosy sims.

Free buddy code... as in 'free' free, or, 'We bumped the price up 25-50% to compensate' free?

While it's a nice idea and kinda tempting... If you've got the N64 original, having a non-64 game inside an N64-looking box is going to be a bit confusing. I don't want two nearly-identical looking boxes knocking around my den with different games for different systems inside them.

Here's a better idea, Nintendo: just start selling official N64 boxes.

Screw them - just publish your review based off the demo!

I liked this preview, thanks, but I'm left wondering whether turning off the Navi dialogue bubbles that seemed to cause annoyance is an option. It's later mentioned that dialogue can be hidden, so what about the Navi dialogue bubbles? And if they can be hidden / turned off, perhaps they don't need the negative coverage they got...?

Personally, I've always liked Navi and find 'Hey, listen!' to be one of those iconic soundbites that just belong in this game.

Oh boy, I can't wait to line up the full physical of this next to my GameCube and Wii physicals...

Original TV theme tune or we ****ing riot and tear Greyskull down.

I got the game a while back and recently paid for the Switch 2 upgrade, I really want to play more of it... but I can't get myself off Animal Crossing!

If you're about to post a comment here, just bear in mind that I've got 'I hate this timeline' all over my bingo card.

Get tickets!?
Once they heard me playing my ocarina they booked me for a solo recital at the European shows - I'll see yous all there!✌️

By the time Nintendo releases the Switch 2 successor, Mario Kart 8 will be 20 years old...

What's the going rate on these tickets? Seems like the sort of thing it might be nice to experience, but I'm not going to bust a lung and a bank account to make it happen. It's just an embellished music recital, right? Not trying to downplay how good they are, but evidently I don't have much clue.

Does the wind still howl constantly?

... but then ...

@OorWullie

Don't say that... I've already done those bits on Switch 1 😝

@HubbaHunt If you're just posting to spam us with your cheesy puns, kindly just log off and geralt of here!

Nintendo Life casually dropping the third biggest news in gaming, buried at the bottom of a third paragraph. Free upgrade path, let's go!!!

Well I was thinking, 'Surely it has to be the Japanese cover, as it's much more appropriate as a representation of Dragon Quest'. But somehow I voted NA and I can't say for certain that I wasn't hypnotised by the thighs and cleavage.

With a gajillion other games to play that don't force an unnecessary online connection, I'm gonna pass on this one. Thanks for the easy money-saving decision, Blizz.

@Xander76

I enjoyed your obvious grammatical errors in this. Very well done.

Not normally much concerned with fps but been holding off getting FC26 Switch 2 edition in the hope FC27 would be properly based around the Switch 2's technical specs. But if this is graphically no better than 26 then I'll go and see if they're still selling that cheaply on the eshop. If not, looks like I might stick to the Switch 1 version of 26 that I have on cart. It's perfectly playable, but I'd happily upgrade if the upgrade was there.

I was willing to take the survey, but I don't really pay attention to whether a game I'm playing is an indie game or not, let alone how many hours a smegging week I might play them, so I don't feel my answers will be useful. Thank you for the invitation though.
