@Mr_Fox The Messenger is one of my favorite games of all time, and I literally never noticed this before. I just had to do some googling.

It seems one of the shopkeeper’s stories that he tells you is from a “Jordan the Wise,” and people have connected the story to something Jordan Peterson said.

I never caught that before, and I never would have. It is inconsequential to the game.

That’s fine, I can wait. This game looks amazing, and I definitely don’t want the developers to have to rush it out.

Come onnnn, Silksong and Persona.

@Gryffin I think it autosaves between levels, but you can’t save state mid-level. I don’t have the game, but that’s what I’ve heard.

Ooh, I didn’t realize ElecHead was releasing so soon. That looked great on the Direct.

TMNT and Neon White for me.

@RubyCarbuncle I’m with ya on this. I’ve been playing Sonic my whole life, and I’m very curious about the story mode and not very bothered about the music. I’m definitely going to be checking this out.

@Mark-number-12 The titles on Sonic Origins are also not running through emulation.

“ the four Sonic titles were made playable on current hardware without running on an emulator, given the game is a port to current consoles. As such, this would allow fans to play them on a 16:9 aspect ratio.” -Takashi Iizuka

@Anti-Matter ARMS rules. I’m happy to see somebody else who still remembers it exists, haha.

@GrailUK That's what I’m trying to figure out, haha.

@PokemonDMG It’s not quite a jailbreak, but sideloading GB games is really simple.

I love my Analogue Pocket, and I’ve been wondering where the heck this update is for awhile now, haha.

@NielsNL I’m still waiting on that Analogue OS update. I wonder what the holdup is.

I walked around that neighborhood. It was quiet and beautiful. I hope this is what the people of Kyoto want, because as a tourist it sounds unnecessary.

This isn’t surprising at all. I’ve seen most of my Switch friend list playing N64 games.

Gato Roboto rules, and I am so hype for this game. Jumped straight to my most anticipated games list

This looks cool as hell.

This looks fun.

@Chibi_Manny Most Xbox games are still releasing with both an Xbox One and a Series S|X version. I have seen very few that are S|X only so far.

@Chocobo_Shepherd The Mr Knight outfit debuted in 2014 in Warren Ellis’s very brief run. You should check that one out!

The Jeff Lemire run and the current Jed MacKay run are also fantastic.

@Mando44646 That would have been on last week’s list. “Nintendo Updates” are on Thursdays and they cover Thursday-Wednesday.

@gonzilla That’s what it cost on PS4, and it was very much worth the price.

13 Sentinels was pretty much my favorite game of 2020. Well, that or Hades. Both are fantastic games.

Play it, everybody!

Sounds good to me!

@Bl4ckb100d Definitely play the first one first. It’s a good time!

I liked the characters and the story more than the gameplay, but I really liked the characters and the story.

@Tobiaku I played the game on PS4 (got the platinum trophy and everything), and I have no idea what you mean about a bad translation.

I love PlatinumGames, but like half of their releases suck. Their lack of consistency is worrisome.

@shonenjump86 Download it to your Switch from work, so it’s ready to go when you get home. That’s what I just did.

@HotGoomba I fully expect Kirby to use mouthful mode on a planet or a space station at least. These games always get big in scope by the end.

This game is incredible. I actually think it might be best played on Switch, and I wish I had that option when it originally launched.

@Ralizah I have no doubt that the DQIII HD-2D remake is going to be $50-60. I would love to be wrong, but I definitely won’t mind paying a full price for that.

@somebread They put out some good music together last year under the name Silk Sonic.

This is gonna rule.

@KingMike Oh man, I thought they made all that up in the Beebis II description! Now I’m looking into it, and you’re right. This is wild, haha.

@plurgy It plays great! But I also haven’t had a problem with any of the N64 games on Switch, and I use a Pro Controller or split Joy-Cons.

The way each game utilizes X and Y slightly different is really smart, so I haven’t felt any need to get an N64 controller for any of them.

I wish it could be the 3DS version. Same goes for Ocarina of Time. It would be really nice to play those games on my TV with the enhancements those versions had.

My wife and I walked around that neighborhood until we found this building for some photo ops, and it was such a lovely walk. Kyoto is beautiful.

Wait, Ryan North made a game?! This I gotta buy. I love his comics, and my wife and I loved Romeo and/or Juliet quite a bit (we read it out loud together, laughing hysterically at every surprise).

We didn’t read the one this is based on, so this will be completely new to us both. Sweet.

@dBackLash I would not recommend interrupting the flow of Steins;Gate to play Steins;Gate 0.

The original game is so wonderful, and it’s story is so well done. It would be awkward to stop before the end to play an entire other game. Especially since I don’t think 0 is half as good as the original game.

@citizenerased I wouldn’t say the first two were exceptionally difficult, unless you are the type of gamer who always goes for 100% completion.

The first two OlliOlli games are extremely good, and I like this new vibe they’re going for. I’m looking forward to this one.

Oh yeah, this rules. Thanks, Nintendo Life!

This is exactly my kinda thing. Looking forward to digging in later.

They upgraded all of us preorder people to 2-day shipping AND my local game shop has been really fleshing out their Game Boy selection.

Next week is looking goooooood.

@Kiyata I’m not going to dispute that buying would be best (or at least the option to buy alongside these Online apps), but I just wanna clarify that you totally can play these games without being online.

All of the Switch Online apps check your online connection once a week. So you just have to be online sometimes and you’re good to go.

Shovel Knight for me! Still playing SMTV, but I’ll find time for this.

@Friendly Listen to his podcasts. He puts out a lot of them every week.

Sacred Symbols is a wonderful PlayStation show and Knockback is a great nostalgia show he does with his brother.

This is one of my favorite games of all time. The story is bonkers (in the best way), the battle man are thrilling, and the music and graphics are perfect.

Glad to see it coming to Switch finally.

Got my email. Wow! Here we go!

@CharlieGirl Nick Robinson’s YouTube channel is a goldmine for deep dives into things that don’t reeeeally matter, haha. I love it.
