@russell-marlow hack n’ slash originates for table top RPGs but now is more commonly used for action games because of games like Devil May Cry. @darkswabber I think if anything this genre should be called Dragon Busterlike since everyone with couple of brain cells seems to be using this nomenclature while calling every game with procedural generation a Roguelike.
@Milenko It being legal is not my concern. I simply don’t want to know stuff like this or an extra smash character until it’s officially announced. This site didn’t used to be so rumor heavy. I hope I can find another place to get Nintendo news.
I totally understand as consumers that the most devoted of us would want to savor our gaming experiences for ever. I understand that through emulation games that would be in some cases impossible to play otherwise can still be available for play. What I don’t understand is why it must be Nintendo to preserve this history. It is entirely likely they do preserve every aspect of their games and hardware development (even if early on they didn’t do so). Nintendo is under no obligation to make sure every one of us is perfectly happy with them. Should is be on Ford to continue to make Model Ts or just the parts for Model Ts available? Should Sony still be manufacturing CRT tvs, cassette players, and cassettes?
@Chowdaire you’re calling Nintendo greedy for not selling their old games to you. What?
Disappointed in Sony for abandoning their Japanese button methodology in favor of the West’s misinterpretation. More and more companies are losing their national identity in favor of a global identity and it’s boring and unfortunate.
@nessisonett It's so easy to watch someone else play a game and experience it with them. I opt to do that for all sorts of games. I don't even need to play a game to enjoy it. I don't need to hold a controller like a kid watching their parent play.
I have games that that are among my favorites that I have not completed but I doubt I could ever consider a game my favorite without getting everything I could out of it. Slay the Spire is one of my most played games, I really like it but it will never be a top contender for me because there is too much randomness and I got bored at getting further.
@rockodoodle yeah this is underwhelming so far It’s almost like we’re a year into a pandemic or something. Look at the other guys are offering for their new systems, basically nothing.
@larryisanassman I don't know what to say I'd rather get new tracks than a new game. A better idea than Mario Kart 9 would be Mario Kart Tour DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Not the the 2000s. The era of boring sequels and remakes like: Kirby Air Ride, Luigi's Mansion, Wind Waker, Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario 64, Warioware, Pikmin, Drill Dozer, Donkey Konga, Wii Sports, Hotel Dusk, Chibi-Robo, Animal Crossing, Cubivore, Nintendogs, Golden Sun, and Brain Age.
@Burning_Spear This! I don’t understand why so many people believe Nintendo couldn’t sell more copies if they kept 3D All Stars available for the life of the Switch.

Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
I don’t like this kind of post at all. I don’t want to see rumors. To each their own I guess.
Re: Talking Point: The Build-A-Bear Animal Crossing Collection Is A Bit Rubbish
It’s Build-a-Bear. How can you not be disappointed?
Re: Feature: These Japan-Only Animal Crossing Figurines Are So Darn Cute, Fans Are Struggling To Find Them
@ObeseChihuahua2 the best character is Dr. Shrunk.
Re: Back Page: An Interview With Luigi, The Late Mario's Brother And Business Partner
Mario has nipple so Nintendolife is going to milk this for a long as they can.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 3rd)
I’m not going to play any games this weekend; instead I’m going to complain to my wife about Super Mario 3D All-Stars the whole time.
Re: Random: It Looks Like Masahiro Sakurai's Parody Account On Twitter Has Finally Been Defeated
If it was a good parody like that Kaz Hirai or Miyamoto account it would still be around.
Re: Random: One Of America's Biggest News Outlets Takes The 'Mario’s Going To Die' Meme Way Too Seriously
CNN is trash and always has been. How long are we going to keep discussing this?
Re: Xbox Says It's "More Important Than Ever" To Preserve Gaming Icons And Classics
This is just a marketing ploy by them they probably don’t care much beyond it can make them money.
Re: Dev Explains Why Nintendo Made Mario's Anniversary Games Limited-Time
I think using anonymous sources makes this simply not believable.
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Suspicious Amount Of 10/10 Metacritic User Reviews
I liked Devil’s Third. Will I like Balan?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo 3DS Features That Should Really Be On Switch
I too want a Switch that has slower loading times, less battery life, and that is bigger in size.
Activity Log would kind of be nice.
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
Hotel Dusk, Art Style, Wii Sports
Re: Review: Renzo Racer - An Abysmal Mario Kart Clone That Should Be Avoided At All Costs
I was really expecting this to get an 8 out of 10 here.
Re: Talking Point: Should It Be Easier To Customise A Nintendo Switch?
I think what you really want is a gaming PC or a car.
Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Already Terminated Super Mario Maker's Bookmark Website
Such a shame the did use that sight for Mario Maker 2
Re: Random: Smooth McGroove Updates Fans On Where He's Been For Almost Two Years
He's no PoopPoopFart but he's pretty good.
Re: Talking Point: Are There Too Many Harvest Moon-Likes On The Market?
As someone that doesn't play them, Yes
I imagine for someone that plays them, No.
Re: Rumour Buster: No, Daft Punk Haven't Been Teased For Splatoon 3
It could still be real. This IS rumorlifedotcom afterall.
Re: Nintendo And Pokémon GO Dev Niantic Are Releasing A Pikmin Mobile App
@Kimyonaakuma you beat me to it.
Re: Feature: Plants Vs. Zombies Producer On Bringing EA's Frostbite Engine To Switch
I'm pretty sure I was told Frostbite just couldn't work on the Switch.
Re: Talking Point: The Problem With The X Button
Disappointed in Sony for abandoning their Japanese button methodology in favor of the West’s misinterpretation.
More and more companies are losing their national identity in favor of a global identity and it’s boring and unfortunate.
Re: Soapbox: Life Is Strange Belongs On Switch. So Why Isn't It?
@ChromaticDracula Heck yeah. Loop Hero would be a great game for the Switch.
Re: Review: Kaze And The Wild Masks - A Brilliant Homage To Donkey Kong Country
It's too similar to DKC in most of the wrong ways.
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
@BlackenedHalo Does that mean in your view Final Fantasy san a few exceptions is not an RPG series?
Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
You play a role and it’s a game. Zelda is a role playing game.
Re: Video: 2021 Is A Huge Year For Major Nintendo Anniversaries
Every single Nintendo series has an anniversary this year. Amazing!
Re: Video: This Is What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like Running At 8K With Ray Tracing Enabled
It looks worse.
Re: Yes, Someone Has Reviewed Japan's Super Nintendo World
Now I don't need to go myself.
Re: Feature: A Brief History Of Nintendo’s Home Hardware Add-Ons
Still disappointed they never made a 3DS Player for the Wii U. I firmly believe that would have been enough sell that system.

Are they going to update Madden 2012 to run on the Switch?

Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?
@larryisanassman I don't know what to say I'd rather get new tracks than a new game. A better idea than Mario Kart 9 would be Mario Kart Tour DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?
@larryisanassman What do we need a Mario Kart 9 for?

Re: Review: Apex Legends - A Great Game Hamstrung By A Compromised Switch Port

Re: Random: This Animal Crossing Screenshot "Probably" Has Nothing To Do With The Rumoured 4K Switch
This is like a rumor of a rumor. rumorlife at it again.
Re: Sega Wants To Know How It Can 'Enhance Your Gaming Experiences'
Support Atlus better.
Make a new Crazy Taxi, Jet Grind Radio, and Space/Planet Harrier.
Re: Anniversary: It's Super Mario RPG's 25th Birthday!

Re: Valheim On Switch? Port Wizards Panic Button Would Love To Help Make It Happen
That’s a big MEH from me but at least the people seem to like it.
Re: Talking Point: Here's Why You Shouldn't Be Worried About The Rumoured Switch Pro's 720p Screen

Re: Suda51 Is Re-Releasing Divisive Murder Mystery Game The Silver Case On Switch
