seeing all of these titles takes me back.

the one out of all of these that stands out most is Mighty Milky Way! simple concept with difficult/addictive game play. the soundtrack and graphics in this game are great!!

@Greatluigi I am sooo opposite of mad. I’m not a fan of tour because of the controls. although there are few exception of games that are great for your phone but mainly I’m not a fan of mobile gaming

besides new footage of upcoming games, hopefully there’s a little surprise that will blow our minds 🤯

I wonder how Nintendo feels about the sentence?

I knew Animal Crossing sales were great in Japan but this is extraordinary news. I love the Switch and I’m glad that the system and games continue to find success. great news day for Nintendo and its fans 🥳

shoot! I was hoping the store would be located in a big market city (Los Angeles specifically).

anyhow, I’ve been a download only kind of person with my 3DS and Switch. it’s a great feeling to have your entire library at your disposal at anytime. now, I’m thinking of investing more in physical copies for three reasons…I have many family members that now own a Switch so it’s nice to recommend a title and lend it to them, I own two Switches now thanks to the OLED model, and I just ran out of memory on my 400GB micro SD card

that’s an awesome set up!

personally, I’m with most here as I prefer my pro controller any day to any type of wheel option.

the only thing I would add to this set up is to make duplicate cabinets and connect X amount of Switch systems to a router for LAN play

I’ve purchased every Nintendo console and portables day one since the GameCube/GBA era. I have many nephews in my family so I’ve given all my systems and games to them once a new Nintendo system would arrive. funny thing is that I’m 50/50 with regretting or no regret. in one hand, I wish I could own these still for the nostalgia factor. on the other, I made my nephews very happy kids back then so nothing to regret there.

never played this game when it was first released on the N64 so I’m excited to experience for first time

I couldn’t pass up on this sale so made the purchase. sadly, I tried to find an SNES, N64, and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controller for purchase as well but they were all out of stock 🎮😭

another year and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is once again my most played game of 2021 🥳🎮🏎!

I would use the app daily through the first half of 2019 for Mario Kart. met some great people who I still Kart with till this day. nowadays we mainly use Discord but I’ll still use this app every now and then when there’s someone to chat with because like mentioned, no one seems to chat anymore

have a couple of friends who are huge Sonic fans told me about this. I guess they were looking forward to listening to music from past Sonic games but no luck

is this game out yet? this review has tempted me to make a purchase. also, I’m a huge fan of 80’s/90’s arcade games

if Nintendo is putting in this much extra content into their mobile kart game, I expect even more in their next home installment (MK9 or whatever the new title will be named)

most likely will pick this up digitally day one

lol! $250 before Black Friday?! great publicity stunt! 👏🏼

@Deady thank you!! I’ll be sure to check them out!

on the topic of Wii U…would anyone know where one can go to get the Wii U game pad repaired in the US? I still have my 8GB white Wii U that’s functional but cannot play games that require the game pad for play

I fall in the category of purchasing an OLED model as a second console. I just purchased a new TV as well and have hopes of having a LAN party now that I have two TV’s and Switch’s for the holidays

interested to see how well it will sell. personally, I feel that it’ll find a small niche crowd but will not last in the market long

I played the original Big Brain Academy on the DS. I recall it was a fun multiplayer game. I most likely won’t pick this Switch version up. still, it’s nice to see Neil and Cristina advertising for Nintendo

other than Chinatown Wars on the DS, this will be my first dip into GTA! I was hoping that they’d have all original soundtrack songs from the past but I believe some tracks are missing. nonetheless, can’t wait!

I have a group of online friends that still play this game every 2-3 times a month…I haven’t played it in almost a year. I may need to get back into this

when MKL:HC arrived last year, I was able to scoop both Mario and Luigi. this year, I ended up gifting Luigi as a bday gift for a new Switch owner. at 59.99, I may have to repurchase Luigi as I never got the opportunity to play 2 player Mario Kart Live. I purchased the OLED Switch this year so now I’ll have two Switches to make the 2 player possible

NL should conduct a poll of how many people actually play the games they say they’re going to play this weekend🤔?

I’ll admit. there’s been a week or two I’ve said I was going to play so and so game this weekend just to never play it.

with that said…I’ll check out my island on AC to see what all the big fuss is about

Mario Kart confessions…

I purchased MK8 the first day it came out but did not get into it into it obsessively until months later (I was still in love with MK7 at the time). I continued to play MK8 until April 2017 when MK8D was released. 70000 VR points and four and a half years later and I still continue to play MK8D! I’ve never been a fan of battle, but the addition of the double item and the ultra drift (the blue color spark), are game changing additions that I welcome. it’s the best Mario Kart in the series and no surprise as to why it’s the best selling kart ever! to overtake MK Wii is quite the accomplishment. can’t wait to see what MK9 (or whatever it may be called) brings next!

I see that they’re having trouble in Japan with OLED model demand. is the same here in the US? EU? the day the OLED was announced for pre-order, I dashed to my nearest GameStop to reserve one because of a similar article I read back then saying if you wanted an OLED model that it was best to try and get the first batch as they would be difficult to find right after because of chip shortages. sooo glad I was able to pick one up day one!

@AstroTheGamosian interesting point.

can’t wait for this!

so…if NSO expires, you lose AC progress?

anyhow, the AC DLC is not for me. I own the game but personally it lost it’s charm within the first two months that I purchased. I doubt the DLC will make me return to my island

Animal Crossing expansion aside (in which I haven’t played in over a year), I’m enjoying the small N64 library. for Genesis/Mega Drive, there are only a handful of titles I didn’t previously own either through Sega Ages or Genesis collection. I’m also baffled with Konami as they threw in both Castlevania and Contra but wouldn’t give the NES or SNES on line any love.

to conclude, I’m enjoying both libraries and I’ve yet to see any lag issues. still, the price of admission is pretty high

some N64 and Tetris Effect

since they released Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch with part 1 and 2, I figured they’d do the same for The Legend of Zelda version. so glad they added Link’s Awakening! they could’ve easily made the DX version, but I’m glad they opted for original version. a classic!

Hamster continuing to do God’s work by bringing these retro goodies! and I believe they’ve yet to miss a week of releasing these classic tittles on Switch

so far I’ve only played N64 games in handheld and I’m still trying to get used to the controls. to access the C buttons, I’m using the right JOY-CON joystick

personally I like the visuals but it does take away original look for better or worse depending on preference

at this point I’ll welcome any NFL/Football I can get for the Switch (I really wish EA would bring Madden back to Nintendo systems)

for as awesome as the mini arcade peripheral looks, I also have doubts of how uncomfortable it would feel attempting to play with it. also, $109.99 is a tad bit pricey

can’t wait!

thank you Rockstar for finally bringing some GTA to a Nintendo system!

I recall the reveal video! it filled me with excitement! it was like a Wii U GamePad that you could take anywhere without being restricted to having to be near your console.

five years later, I love the Switch! it’s probably become my favorite Nintendo console ever! and I’ve been a fan since 1986!

if I do decide to get the Switch on line expansion pack, it’ll be the third copy of both Sonic and Sonic 2 that I’ll own on the Switch (Switch on line expansion, Sega Ages, and Sega Classics).

this would have been enticing three or four years ago. but to pay more than double for Genesis and N64 classics (most of which I own on Switch, 3DS, and Wii/Wii U) is not gravitating me to make the plunge. had it been $10-20 more, than maybe I would consider

I purchased the special edition of Dread the first day it was out but I’ve yet to start it.

I was having buyers remorse and was going to return it. but I finally found the will to open the huge box for the small cartridge and will indulge this weekend

since I only own Nintendo systems, the only GTA I had the pleasure of playing was Chinatown Wars.

this will be my first venture into these classics so can’t wait!!!

ended up with white myself

I’ve been a Switch owner since day one in 2017 and I probably play 95% of the time in docked mode. now that I’ve purchased the OLED model, I’ve been playing more in portable because, one, the screen is gorgeous, and two, to justify my purchase

Hamster continuing to do great work in bringing back all the gems from yesterday.

as a lover of arcade games, there are still a certain few games I’m hoping they bring back (Kung-Fu Master)

thanks for putting up this video NLife. I was extremely lucky this morning to pick up a special edition of this game when I went to grab my OLED I reserved at my local GameStop. I’ve yet to open the box to play because my new Switch has spent the day downloading close to 400GB of games due to system transfer 🤦‍♂️

@Jimmy_G_Buckets same here. gonna try and beat it old school…without the help of the internet

I will be picking up my copy in a few hours

as stated in another recent article here regarding the Joy-Cons…if you’re experiencing Joy-Con drift, just sent the controller in for repair to Nintendo.

I had the original pair of Joy-Cons and two other pair that I purchased in 2017. over the years, there was a lot of wear and tear. and just this year, I sent them all for repair and received, almost like new, refurbished Joy-Cons within 48 hours! needless to say that I was a very pleased customer to have fully functioning Joy-Cons

48 HOURS!!!!……
is what it takes to send your problematic Joy-Con to Nintendo and receive a refurbished one!
fast, easy, convenient!

I owned my 3 pairs since 2017 and sent them for repair just this year so I’m a happy customer to have fully functional Joy-Cons

is it Friday yet? 🙃
