@turnmebackwards it’s not really a Nintendo issue anymore. Everything is skyrocketing in price. LEGO sets & records to name a few. Not to mention ton grocery prices in the states.
I just bought this about a week ago and I’m a few hours in and I’m wondering if the game isn’t for me or if I’m missing something? You seem to get no XP, and it doesn’t matter if you fight or save enemies from what I’m seeing, and there’s a LOT of try hard dialogue - am I missing something or is this more of a walking simulator with RPG elements for fun.
It’s so sad to see what has become of PopCap since the EA buyout all those years ago. They made the best casual games on the market and I even have a PopCap folder on my modded 3DS.
The 2D Dadish games are so fun but the 3D one was kinda awful with the clunky camera. This looks cute but it’s free on iOS or $7 to remove ads. Will wait for a sale.
I just got a physical copy on eBay during the holidays and now I’m obsessed with everything Dragon Quest. Not super relavent just wanted to share my love for this series. 🥰
The game sold over 450,000 copies originally, which is more than enough sales for the average developer. Since that time hundreds of indies have released, perhaps Braid just had its time and that’s fine.
@KateGray Is there a place I can give feedback to the devs? Game isn’t playable for me in handheld mode due to how small the fonts are. Can’t play the game in its state but really really want to!

@DarkTron fans like you are why he doesn’t announce anything anymore. Be grateful or go make your own game solo

Re: Nintendo Launches 2026 Calendars, Including One Just For NSO Subscribers
@NFrealinkling I got one last year but at this moment in time they are not in the US, unless you have a link?
Re: Nintendo Launches 2026 Calendars, Including One Just For NSO Subscribers
I wish these were in the US too
Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update
I think this kind of cements that the next entry won’t arrive until 2027 at the earliest but this is still pretty cool!
Re: Three More Kirby Air Riders amiibo Have Been Announced
@MamaSymphonia which is 100% the correct reaction. We need to stop normalizing corporate greed.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Switch Comparison Video Makes Nintendo's Upgrades Clearer
@Uncle_Franklin nothing he said is offensive or inappropriate? Unless you’re joking.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
Is the 3DS version still worth playing? I have a modded system and might check that one out.

Don’t let the mobile origin deter you, these are gorgeous pieces of art.
Re: Plants vs. Zombies Looks Set To Be Revived And 'Reloaded' On Switch
@joey302 highly recommend Letter Quest on switch. It’s basically bookworm adventures.

Re: Dadish Dev's Adorable Gravity-Bending Platformer Jumps Onto Switch Today
The 2D Dadish games are so fun but the 3D one was kinda awful with the clunky camera. This looks cute but it’s free on iOS or $7 to remove ads. Will wait for a sale.
Re: Nintendo Runs Out Of Replacement Parts For 2DS Systems And New 3DS LL, Ends Repairs In Japan
I ended up modding my Animal Crossing 3DS XL when Nintendo closed down the eshop and it was the best decision ever.
Re: Looks Like Kirby's Epic Yarn And Princess Peach: Showtime! Dev Good-Feel Is Hiring
Nice to hear about new jobs when every news story nowadays is more layoffs
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Now Has A Switch eShop Demo
The game must have undersold. I got a new copy for $44 on eBay which is the max I’d pay and even then I wish I just waited a bit.

Re: Stardew Valley Creator Doesn't Want To 'Close The Book' On Its Development
@Anti-Matter I for one love it when devs are passionate about their games and offer free updates at no charge. Sigh.
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Releases New Patch For Nintendo Switch Version
Very happy about the rain fix! Played through 2 years and only got rain on the scripted days. Excited to dive back in.
Re: The Adorable 'Lil Gator Game' Is Getting A "Huge" Expansion
The game is on sale for $12 so just downloaded it based on the positivity here!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch RPGs
I got Dragon Quest XI for Xmas and have been loving it!
Re: Rumour: New 'Switch 2' Photos Show Off A Very Legit-Looking Joy-Con
@UltimateOtaku91 I feel like stick drifting is a huge design flaw that they were fine overlooking for Switch 1
Re: Sonic's Third Movie Outing Could Be Getting A Speedy Digital Release
@VHSGREMLIN sir, it’s called an opinion.
Re: Robot City Builder 'SteamWorld Build' Lands New Physical Edition On Switch
If this won’t have the DLC then I don’t see the point to be honest. Still upset about that and won’t be buying from them again unfortunately
Re: Delightful Shopkeeping RPG 'Moonlighter' Is Getting A Sequel, Switch Not Confirmed
@the_beaver the first is like $5 right now and is definitely worth it!
Re: Vampire Survivors' New Road Map Is Ridiculous, And We Love It
@Roger_Brazil fun fact: your personal experience doesn’t equal everyone else’s. Bring on the updates - I love this game dearly!
Re: Mario & Luigi's Future In Doubt As A Potential Sony Acquisition Emerges
@NCChris it doesn’t. But it makes a good headline.
Re: 'Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island' Mixes A Short Hike Cosiness With Greek Gods
Yeah the characters look weird but the gameplay itself looks right up my alley. A short hike is legendary.

@tektite_captain You could’ve googled it in the time it took you to leave this ignorant comment

Re: Dave The Diver Gets Even More Crossovers With mxmtoon, Balatro, Potion Craft
@Anti-Matter Weird take, this is fun and most likely free content. No need to complain about the devs having fun with DLC events.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom amiibo Functionality And Compatibility Revealed
@PinderSchloss why are you on a website called Nintendo Life if Nintendo is such a “horrible company”?
Re: Vampire Survivors Drops Yet Another Free Update Today, Includes "Secret" New Stage
This is such an addictive game. The only thing that comes close to getting this much playtime on my Switch is Grindstone.
Re: Review: Cat Quest III (Switch) - A Pretty Much Purrfect Pirate Adventure
LOVE the first game and have the second one ready to go once I finish it up. This will most definitely be purchased by me in the future.
Re: Review: World Of Goo 2 (Switch) - A Superb Sequel With A Few Sticking Points
I’ll wait for a sale. I love the first but never completed it as it got very challenging, so I’m not sure $30 on this would be well spent.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Sales Have Been "Utterly Terrible", Says Creator
The game sold over 450,000 copies originally, which is more than enough sales for the average developer. Since that time hundreds of indies have released, perhaps Braid just had its time and that’s fine.
Re: The New Denpa Men Surpasses 100,000 Downloads In One Day
Yes @anti-matter we get it, you don’t want this game.

Re: Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate (Switch) - Hades In A Half-Shell
@marcelominucelli unnecessary comment
Re: PSA: The New Denpa Men Is Available Now On The Switch eShop
Why is this free? I assume it has micro transactions? More info in the article would be helpful…

I just got this game and while I don’t dislike it, I find the onslaught of new mechanics constantly being thrown at you to be overwhelming.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online Free 7-Day Trial Now Available (US)
@sanderev you’re gonna have to name a LOT more than 2 games for your point to hold weight.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th June (North America)

Re: Atari 50: Expanded Edition Adds 2 New Timelines And 39 New Games
@gcunit it might be hard to believe, but other people might have a different opinion than you. I for one am super excited for this DLC.
