Some of the Tour tracks have been surprisingly good. Just wish they were more aesthetically different. Excited for next week. Pizza and family game night UNLOCKED!
N64 but that's only because of Ocarina of Time. I enjoy them all and usually play the one that came out the most recently the most. So I'm spending most of my time on GBA and GB right now.
It's a toss-up between Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Shredder's Revenge. Not really a "game," but my next favorite thing this year was the new MK8 tracks.
I've played the game off and on for 2.5 years. Best game of all time, no contest. Infinitely playable with something new to discover every day. Have been all over, beat lots of shrines, but still so many to solve and so many random spots on the map I haven't visited. My 7-year-old actually beat Ganon the other day, something I was never able to do!
I think it's tears as in crying, especially since "Tears of the Kingdom" in the torn sense is really clunky-sounding. But the dual meaning idea is cool too.
@Advantage They were so popular. I felt like The Arcade Game just lived in my mind rent-free for months on end. I'm also really hyped for this, especially after playing Shredder's Revenge!
I could totally see a great modern update of the franchise! But until they consider taking that risk, it'll continue to be a dead series that will only reappear as random costumes and references in other games.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gameplay Trailer Drops Tomorrow, 28th March 2023
Going to put out cookies and milk tonight cause tomorrow is Christmas morning.
Re: Nintendo's Official MAR10 Day Switch eShop Sale Is Now On (North America)
@cammers1995 Completely second this. Insane that these are still retailing at $59.99. Should be $29.99 on sale at the highest.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 Launches Next Week
Some of the Tour tracks have been surprisingly good. Just wish they were more aesthetically different. Excited for next week. Pizza and family game night UNLOCKED!
Re: Nintendo Reveals Official MAR10 Day Switch Console Bundle
Boring and, at this point, not even a good deal.
Re: Poll: Which Nintendo Switch Online Console Do You Play The Most?
N64 but that's only because of Ocarina of Time. I enjoy them all and usually play the one that came out the most recently the most. So I'm spending most of my time on GBA and GB right now.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime Remastered?
Dang, I am so excited to try this out. Loved the OG.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2023 Nintendo Direct - Every Game Reveal And Trailer
One of the best Directs of all time. So hyped for GB and GBA on NSO, the new Yoshi Island track, Metroid Prime and more!
Re: GoldenEye 007 Shoots Its Way Onto Nintendo Switch Online This Week
I used to play this SO MUCH with my friends back in the day. Looking forward to giving it a spin again.
Re: Random: This Nintendo Direct Feels Incredibly Quaint Just 10 Years On
I don't mind the current style, but it was fun to see Iwata and Reggie. Gave them personality.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda Should Be Given The Paper Mario Treatment
I would buy the heck out of that.
Re: Video: What's Going On With Kirby Right Now?
Give me all the Kirbys. Pumped for the inevitable Forgotten Land sequel.
Re: Feature: Which Zelda Games Should You Replay Before Tears Of The Kingdom?
I've been playing BotW pretty consistently for 3 years and I think I'll just stick with that!
Re: Soapbox: If You Thought Last Year Was "Sad" For Switch, 2023 Might Be Hard To Handle
I was happy with the output. I didn't have a ton of time to game in 2022, but what new games I could play, I enjoyed.
Re: Feature: Game Of The Year 2022 - Nintendo Life Staff Awards
It's a toss-up between Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Shredder's Revenge. Not really a "game," but my next favorite thing this year was the new MK8 tracks.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Most Anticipated Games For 2023 (That Aren't Zelda)
Zelda is honestly the only game I'm hyped for, though I'm sure there will be other first-party games I get into.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2022
Dropping another nod to Kirby and the Forgotten Land for this year's best game.
Re: Deals: Nintendo Offers Up To 86% Discounts In Critically Acclaimed Partner Sale (US)
Might be time to give Hades a try.
Re: Poll: What’s Your Favourite New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Track In Wave 3?
3DS Rainbow Road is absolutely stunning and gave me the biggest smile. Merry Mountain and Berlin Byways are also great.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 Is Out Now With New Custom Items Update
@EriXz Same. We have Mario Kart night planned already!
Re: The Nintendo Switch Was One Of The Top Black Friday Purchases This Year
Insane how the Switch keeps chugging along. They really need to just call the next one Switch 2 or something and not mess it up in consumers' eyes.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 Launches Next Month
So hyped for this. Curious about that holiday-themed track.
Re: Anniversary: Fans Celebrate As Metroid Prime Turns 20 Years Old
One of the greatest games.
Re: Feature: The Top 15 Legend Of Zelda Dungeons Of All Time, Ranked
@R_is_KC Totally agree. Those are two of my favs.
Re: Random: God Of War: Ragnarok Director Shares Five NES Games That Inspired Him
Simon's Quest is such an awesome game. Love to see it get home love.
Re: Poll: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Is Almost Here, So Have You Completed BOTW Yet?
I've played the game off and on for 2.5 years. Best game of all time, no contest. Infinitely playable with something new to discover every day. Have been all over, beat lots of shrines, but still so many to solve and so many random spots on the map I haven't visited. My 7-year-old actually beat Ganon the other day, something I was never able to do!
Re: Deals: My Nintendo Store US Releases Preview Of Black Friday Offers, With Switch Bundles, Games And More (US)
Oh, look. More not-really-that-great-of-a-deal discounts on first-party games.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?
I'd prefer something new, with a more defined identity. Odyssey wasn't my favorite and just felt very random with its worlds.
Re: Garfield's Take On Mario Party Cooks Up A November Release Date
Mario Party killer right here
Re: Poll: Is The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Good Enough Value Yet?
I love the easy access to N64 games and the Mario Kart DLC, but its value is becoming increasingly questionable.
Re: Talking Point: Which Animation Studios Should Tackle Nintendo's Other Franchises?
@duffmmann Agree with this. Keep it all under one studio for better oversight and consistency.
Re: Rumour: Fans May Have Translated The Zonai Text In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer
Tears of the Kingdom 2 confirmed
Re: Mini Review: Penko Park - A Worthy Spiritual Successor To Pokémon Snap
@Ogbert Agreed. Hence the "spiritual" and not "literal" successor.
Re: Illumination's Super Mario Movie Reconfirms Release Date, Teaser Coming Next Month
You have to buy the Switch 2 to watch it I heard.
Re: Yakuza Dev Still Doesn't Think Switch Is The Right Platform For The Series
Ha, edgelord to the max. Because the other consoles are so "underground."
Re: Poll: So, How Are You Pronouncing Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I think it's tears as in crying, especially since "Tears of the Kingdom" in the torn sense is really clunky-sounding. But the dual meaning idea is cool too.
Re: 'The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom' Launches In May 2023
Never been more hyped for a game to come out. Love the title!
Re: Nintendo Direct Showcase Confirmed For Tomorrow
So dang happy to see this headline! Can't wait, and hoping for some sort of Zelda teaser/title/something!
Re: Spiders With Laser Swords? Oh Heck, Sign Us Up, Please!
Ha, that subhead tho.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's New DLC Course Is Coming To Mario Kart Tour On Mobile
Yeah, definitely makes that "new" course seem less new and more like a Tour port. That's some good/sneaky PR.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Will Kick Shell In August
So hyped for more Turtles, especially after playing Shredder's Revenge!
Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Super Mario Sunshine Is Still The Best 3D Mario
Not my favorite (my heart forever belongs to Galaxy) but it's a fun game and I love the tropical setting and soundtrack.
Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
It was probably some Atari 2600 game my dad had, but the first one I remember playing distinctly and being excited about was Super Mario Bros.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Sells Over One Million Copies
One of my favorite games of the year. Congrats to the team and here's hoping for a sequel.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection
@Advantage They were so popular. I felt like The Arcade Game just lived in my mind rent-free for months on end. I'm also really hyped for this, especially after playing Shredder's Revenge!
Re: Poll: What's The Best Mario Kart Game?
I was a huge fan when the OG came out, but man, MK8D is just the best Mario Kart experience there is.
Re: Kirby's Dream Buffet Announced For Switch, Looks A Lot Like Fall Guys
This looks fun. My kids will probably love this.
Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Nice! Never played Wily Wars and I've heard Comix Zone is actually pretty good. Go, Sega.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June (North America)
@OldManHermit I re-downloaded it last night and played through some boss fights. It's so insane.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June (North America)
Just Cuphead for me. Might get Portal down the road.
Re: Random: Nintendo Shareholder Apparently Asked For A New F-Zero At General Meeting
I could totally see a great modern update of the franchise! But until they consider taking that risk, it'll continue to be a dead series that will only reappear as random costumes and references in other games.
