@Pillowpants I was thinking the exact same thing. I will try out the demo, but will probably hold off my purchase until after I am done with Fire Emblem.

@SoIDecidedTo Yes! I'm one of these sales and I'm having a splendid time with it. It's like a mix of old-school top-down Zelda and Octopath Traveler to me, which I absolutely adore. I can honestly only say good things about this game

I have 100% finished the game on PS5 when it released. While I had a really good time with it, I'm not double dipping just because I can play it on the go now.

Star Fox and Adventures of Elliot for me for sure. Splatoon Raiders is on my radar, but I'll wait for the reviews to see if it's deep enough to warrant a purchase.

Love the little Charles Dickens nod there in the byline

I finished it at 100% yesterday and would rate the game an 8/10. If its success results in Capcom developing a sequel, I hope they come up with a more compelling and creative story now that the IP is more established. I think that is my only critique.
On all other fronts (style, acting, combat, exploration, collectibles, difficulty, performance, and post-game) I am an absolute fan.

I have survived the term!! Now it's finally time to do what my thumbs are made for: a solid weekend full of gaming.

I will be continuing my playthrough of Resident Evil Requiem with a friend tonight. When I'm by myself I'll be diving back into Pokopia and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. I simply cannot wait to lose myself in all of these great games.

Happy gaming everyone!

This weekend is end of term, which means I'll spend most of my time on deadlines and such. The time I have during breaks will likely be spend on completing Tetris 99's and Kirby Air Riders' current events.

Happy gaming everyone!

Professor Tangrowth needs me.

So, I'll help him whenever I can in between studying this weekend.

Happy gaming everyone!

A general rule of mine, in any Pokemon game, is to recruit Pokemon for my main team (the one I beat the League or final boss with) that I have never used in a similar way before. In my current playthrough of LeafGreen this means I'm using Jynx, Sandslash, Venomoth, Hitmonchan and two others I have yet to decide upon. This means that for remakes, I always let go of the starter quite quickly.

This approach has resulted in the playthroughs feeling fresh and often some surprise appreciation for older mons I have never really looked at before.

@fizzolo I just frantically checked the My Nintendo store to see if I had missed a pre-order. Luckily, that wasn't the case. The article should edit that one sentence to avoid confusion.

This has been one of my favorit games to come out of the PS5 generation so far, so it would be a great addition for the Switch 2 collection and I might just double dip if it's a version that includes all of the added content and DLC

While the North American cover is more striking at first, it becomes too messy quickly, and so, I actually enjoy Japan's cover's play on the stereoscopic 3D and the red visor you'll use to play this game more. To me, it successfully achieves the illusion that you will become the pilot that occupies the entire front of the package.

I am very excited for this launch. I have never been able to play any of these games and the 2 unreleased games are the most delicious cherries on top

@DynamoDouglas Yes, there was! Someone predicted there to be a specific Direct for this in 2026.

I think we found our new NintendoLife oracle.

@sikthvash Yes! I actually also think it will be 'Revelation'! Makes so the most sense to me, especially since Reunion is probably not an option.

@Warioware thank you for the detailed answer! Much appreciated. I managed to grab a copy of 0 for €35 yesterday and plan to start playing it tonight. I'm more of a story-driven kind of gamer, so your reply got me very excited!

@Solid_Python ah, thanks! Yeah, 0 has also been on my list to play since the Switch 2 edition. I really want to give this series a shot, so I just might give in sooner rather than later and work my way up to 3

Is it recommended to play 1 and 2 before this 3rd entry?

This was one of the easiest votes in years

I logged 43 games and 482 hours this year, across:

1. Xenoblade Chronicles X (111 hours)
2. Pokemon Legends Z-A (68 hours)
3. Mario Kart World (31 hours)

@Tyranexx I had no idea you could spend so many hours in Ace Attorney Investigations. Is it truly such a meaty game or have you revisited it? Genuinely curious, I haven't played it yet but I would like to.

It's nice to see Metroid Prime 4 make the jump from 39 to 31. Not remotely a bestseller this week, but still a lot better than falling out of the top 40

YES, I never finished this when I was younger but it turned me into an FE fan. I can't wait to play this! It's a little unfortunate that finals are coming up, but I will find the time. Still very excited!

@Rooty most my gamer friends are saying the same thing. Just me and 2 others have made the leap day 1 or soon after. All my other friends are waiting for the new exclusive Animal Crossing, Zelda or Smash.

I have seen some online requests for a Spanish language option. So, in terms of accessibility to a wider audience, this would certainly fit the bill.

I've got HDR automatically turned and have found the game's colors to seem kind of washed out. Is there anyone who's had experience with the game and played it with and without HDR? Which do you prefer and is it worth turning the HDR off for?

@FlyingDunsparce That would be a really nice addition. I have also been obsessed with the Legends ZA soundtrack and hope they release it on this app sooner rather than later

I got both and will get the others as well since I'm a huge fan of Amiibo in general. I do wish they had a bit more in-game functionalities than just the Smash feature. They are, however, absolutely stunning out of the box and have a nice weight to them.

Ah, this is perfect. I haven't gotten around to buying this yet, but I really enjoyed The Hundred Line and am again ready for a similar kind of game.

I'm expecting mine today as well. I love these photos, especially a fan of the tire tracks in the sand. It's like she pulled up specifically to be immortalized like this.

So far, I have bought Fantasy Life i, Dragon Quest I & II and Raido Remastered. I am very content with the 3rd Party line-up for my favorite genres. Just less Game Key Cards would be nice.

My most anticipated third-party games are Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and Monster Hunter Stories 3. I absolutely cannot wait for those releases. It will be a great start to the new year.

@MirrorFate2 I don't think a faithful remake is what they are going for, those already exist. It is called Reimagined after all and these new endings emphasize they are taking more freedom with the source material as well.

I am probably one of the few that like the current schedule. I'm looking forward to the new releases that appear roughly every Tuesday. It's a nice addition to their usual news, games and MyNintendo releases every Thursday.

I use the app quite frequently to work, study or work-out, especially the curated playlists or prolonged songs are ideal for a focussed session.

I agree with @Pillowpants. It would be nice to be able to listen to or explore all the work from one composer. I hope this feature is still one to come in the future.

I'm playing through Calamity with a friend since the Switch 2 update. We're about two-thirds in, so we'll finish that first before I'll get Imprisonment. But we're sure to play through it at some point in the near future.

@the_beaver I'm also from Europe and got mine from Japan. It's not even a GKC. It's playable in the same languages as the digital European one, just the boxart is in Japanese. So, if you can afford shipping, it might be worth a shot.

Alright, actually looks quite interesting. Will NL review this?

@Bats1234 ah fair point! It would be very wise of Nintendo to release a budget version of the console, like the handheld-only Lite last generation, to coincide with the release of Pokemon. The Switch 2 is not cheap, and many casual Pokemon fans might be put off by its price if all they want to do is play the new Pokemon game.

I have friends waiting for limited editions of the console before dipping in this generation. They would like a Pokemon, AC or Smash version of the console.

it is interesting seeing Digimon Story: Time Stranger move up a spot instead of down.

This week's Pokemon release will definitely mix things up in the next report, especially with the Switch 2 bundle included. It will be interesting to see the split between the two consoles for that game.

Aww I'm sad to hear this news, but also convinced you will go on to do more great things. I want thank you for your contributions to NintendoLife. I have always appreciated your kindness and the flair of wholesomeness you add to everything you created. You had an indescribable part in turning NintendoLife into the amazing and positive community I enjoy tapping into everyday.

I wish you all the best for the future and stay safe out there Zion! ❤️

With Final Fantasy Tactics coming out soon, I think I'll hold off on this one until it is on sale.

I'm always down for more Fire Emblem, but knowing my track record with mobile games, this won't be enjoyed for too long.

Ah, I didn't catch that the new amiibos were of a signicantly larger size than regular Mario amiibo. Now the price is starting to make more sense. €30 sounds fair to me now. I will add them to my collection and Galaxy 2 seperately

I'm also hoping for a new Fire Emblem Switch 2 game announcement

@topsekret thank you for the confirmation. I will do exactly that . Still can't wait for the game though

Wait, so Final Fantasy Tactics is a Code in a box? I missed this completely and just pre-ordered a "physical" copy of the Switch 2 game.

So, do I understand correctly that I should get the Switch 1 version instead and will be able to upgrade it on my Switch 2 to that respective version, free of charge?

@Ooyah thank you for the positive words and great, in a weird sense, to see that there are people that feel the same. It's a rough place out there.

To staying true to our joy!

Got it pre-ordered in the Netherlands today

@garfreek exactly this. I've devoted my wallet to every rerelease. Now please give us something new!

@YunoboCo Have we watched the same Direct? All the new information completely blew me out of the water. I am now finally hyped for this game!

@Anti-Matter that white mock-up looks amazing. I want it. I will replace my black Switch 2 the second this launches.
