I know the reviews on this site are supposed to be subjective but never the less it amuses that this game has the same score as Battle for Bikini Bottom
I don’t get the salt. Every new character is something new to experience in a fun game I enjoy playing. Minecraft is an icon from gaming that goes beyond just gaming. The game is truly a great playing experience. Older people might feel like they are too old for Minecraft but then again, my Dad has put in hundreds of hours into the game and he’s in his 60s. Hipsters might not like Minecraft because it is popular but there are legitimate reasons why the series is so popular and remains so after such a long time. Some high brow folks might not think that Steve graphically fits in Smash but he completely works for the same reason Mr Game & Watch works. Even in the trailer they play on the stiffness of the character and how lifeless he looks. His movement is sharp a deliberate. The rigidity is played up for the comedy of it. Seriously, if you’re mad about Minecraft being included in Smash then you must have a difficult time having fun.
Things like these are nice but it is completely unrealistic to expect Nintendo to create a system that accounts for every human variant when the same 3 types of wood can be gathered from what few varieties of trees exist in this world.
@Daniel36 here’s the thing. I have mixed feelings about making the co-op more accessible and on one screen. While part of me would really enjoy being able to easily play with a group of friends in the same room; I also have a great deal of respect at attempting to keep the whole of the original experience in tact as much as possible. Nothing will quite capture the experience of playing with 5 screens.
Not one mention of the incredible music. Sure this game is not for everyone but if you like RPGs and anime like Mushishi or Kino’s Journey then you will probably appreciate this.
@PrincessAzunyan the commercial is a reference to Apple's "1984" commercial from the year 1984. The reason this was used was not to reference anything in the book. In Apple's commercial they were claiming the Macintosh was going to free people from the boring and over powered Windows PC. Epic is calling out Apple as the new boring and overpowered company (this commercial was more for Apple than it was for its fans). A little ironic coming from Epic, if you ask me.
Many people mention that Apple would just let them have a free game on their platform without taking a cut from the in game transactions but there are actually free games on iOS with zero in games. I can buy something on the Amazon app, does Apple take 30% of that sale? If I buy a movie through the Google Play movie app on iOS does Apple take 30%?
@Clyde_Radcliffe Switch themes and folders are pointless. You should have very little if any desire to hang out in menus. The current system is fast loading and quicker to find games than if a folder system was implemented.
Having watched the Xbox trailer I must say the game doesn’t look that well crafted and that might be why it looks fugly on Switch. It does however look like it could be decently fun.
I find it interesting that people think this is ugly but would think a traditional mini-figure would look fine. It’s also interesting to see some people claim this is only for kids or only for adults when other comments state that an adult had fun with their kid playing with this.
Nintendo’s worst year for games was 1986 or 1988. As bad as some years felt in real time, every year since 1989 they have released multiple bangers every year.
@ecco6t9 at first I paid little attention to this game existing as I scrolled past its article. I thought it might be a game where you played a John Twitch making sure Gamer Girl didn’t get too sexy and scare away advertisers. Now that I know what the game is I don’t understand the problem. You play as a moderator for a streamer that has a stalker. It’s a mystery game it’s a thriller, it draws on real life as a way to draw attention to bad behavior that happens everyday and scary situations that can and do arise for people with an online presence. Sure it is all wrapped in a rather lame package that would only appeal to a crowd of people that deeply care about issues online harassment and stalking; which severely limits the effectiveness of such a game, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with the overall concept.
@TG16_IS_BAE @Slowdive commenting on Nintendo Life is hardly different than commenting on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube.
The internet is a double edge sword. Instant access to almost any information you could ever want and all of the different cultures of the world, but also the elevation of conspiracy theories, hatred, and shallow exploitation of our selves for empty admiration. We might not all fall into the trap. You and I might be fine for now but the internet is the catalyst of the self imposed degradation of society.
Instead of complaining about how annoying online discussions about Paper Mario can be I will mention that it’s kind of gross that this article links to the leaked content.

Re: Every Smash Bros. Ultimate Stage Has To Be Reworked For Minecraft Steve's Inclusion
Anyone else would just add the character to the roster and be done with it. Sakurai wanted to fold Minecraft into the whole game.
