I read this after reading the review for Blippo+, and now I NEED to play them both so that I can relive around half of my life.

SPOILERS! There's going to be a whole bunch of N64 games at the top of that last, all of which are games that I never liked.

The "Dark Echoes" subtitle reminds me of how in Japan the movie "Gravity" is called "No Gravity". Or how "black ice" is known as "black ice burn".

C'moooooooooooon Nintendo, open one in Sapporo. I DARE you!!! Also other countries for all those other people or whatever.

Did Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime ever get fixed?? That game is easily in my top-5 list of Switch games, and when I eventually get around to getting a Switch 2 I'd love to give it another go.

I also like the change from "we" to "I". Also, "Wii" to "me". I think. Imagining the entire staff playing a game and coming to a consensus, then having a single person write the review always seemed a little unrealistic. On a semi-related note, my horri... uhhh... misguided child watches videos of people playing games on the YouTubes (side note: I hate when he does that and I BEG him to just play games himself) and it always irritates me when the person playing says "we" instead of "me". Like, "oh, we just barely made that jump!" instead of "oh, me just barely made that jump!" Annoying.

I can't believe being STILL take these things so incredibly seriously. "This game looks amazing and is super fun to play! No wait, it might have slowed down a little there. UTTER GARBAGE."

@Princess_Lilly I don't care if you people try to get in my way or not. In time, you'll find out who's right. This is a present from me, to you.
...is what I hope Forever Entertainment is thinking.
Give me the original voice acting and I'll buy this game for the... what, 4th time?

Well, poop. I love them all!

I decided to give Splatoon on WiiU a chance even though I don't like shooters, and it turned out I didn't like it. So when Switch rolled around, I decided to give this game a chance even though I don't especially like fighting games, and... holy crap I loved it. It's probably the only game I've ever played online (granted, there aren't a ton of those for me) where I felt like I was actually GOOD. So yes, I will gladly play it with fancier specs on Switch 2, and I will impatiently await ARMS 2.

I love this: "I don't live in the US but simply must vote in all polls"

@MatoFilipovic As someone who only ever played games on Sega consoles, and then later only on Nintendo consoles, I've never played a game with voice chat so in my mind they'd might as well have invented it!

I'll only use it if I can use it on the train! But actually I'm slightly interested... I've never played a game with voice chat, and only rarely have I even played games online, but if I can find friends to play/chat/leer at then I'd like to give it a shot.

Holy hell I want this!!! ...even though I haven't played the game. But I want to do that, too!

Make a limited-edition Xenoblade version and I'll buy 2 million myself! But not any more than that because that would be ridiculous and unrealistic.

@Mario500 I decided "dumb" sounded classier than most of the other adjectives that came to mind when discussing the teenage version of myself buying a game like this.

I actually found this game on Saturn for something like $15 once long ago. It wasn't very good. Or sexy. And the apostrophe in the title always bothered me. But owning a "yellow label" Saturn game was exciting as a dumb teenager! Then years later when I sold it I made something like $40. Sexy!

Awww, I can only choose one (1)??? Xenoblade and Pikmin will probably probably going at some point, along with others that I'm at least somewhat interested in, but F-Zero is one of my all-time-favorite games so I would love to see a follow-up.

I think this is the first time I've seen both versions of DK side-by-side, and to be honest... I like them both.

I found the VR Labo on sale for dirt cheap a few years back but never put it together for fear of ruining my child's eyes. Well, it sounds like it's time to get started ruining!

Side note: I seriously regret not buying the other Labo sets when I saw them on sale, too. On the other hand, both my backlog and the "graveyard of unfinished projects" room in my house are probably okay with that.

I still don't get why RE2 is so incredibly popular. If I wasn't impressed by the game play, and I found the story to be awful, will the remake somehow magically change my mind??

The first time I ever played this game I finished in 8th place! ...Then I got distracted by my backlog of games that I paid money for and I keep forgetting to go back to it. Give me an F-Zero GX99, though, and I'll gladly forget about said backlog!

I finished Echoes of Wisdom recently (100% and everything!) and I decided I'm going to try to finish off some of the smaller games in my backlog before I play Xenoblade X or one of the other RPGs I desperately want to play but have been avoiding. So I chose Patrick's Parabox, and... it hurts my brain. But in a good way. Still, I don't want to look up solutions and each level is starting to take a long time to figure out. Maybe I should have just played an RPG.

I'm mostly just impressed that someone noticed this at all.

Oh cool, I get to spend more than everyone else just so I can play the games I bought from outside of Japan. Or when I want to be lazy and play the games I buy in Japan in English.

I finally got around to buying Tears of the Kingdom two (2) days ago!

That's my letter! I'm in this article! WOOO!!! Now they owe me a raise at work for some reason!!! ...I kind of really wish my job involved taking pictures of game things.

NOOOOooooo I'm never going to finish any other game ever! But... after spending 1000+ hours with this game on WiiU, I think I'm okay with that.

"$28,000 feels about right" is the best thing I read today.

I gave them all 10s. They're all fantastic games but in their own ways. If I was going to try to rank them strictly by how much I enjoyed them, though, then it would probably be:
1 → X → 3 → 2
The ridiculous thing is that I own all three versions of 1 and I've STILL never actually seen the ending. Which reminds me, I should probably finish 3, too. Also all of those DLC things.

The free demo thing on the Nintendo online thing finally convinced me to buy this game, because apparently $4 or whatever was WAY too expensive for me. But then I of course bought all the DLC, too. Hey, why not??? It's not like my backlog will notice. Even though I'll never play it all, it's a great game and I don't regret my purchase!

Don't worry, we've always had to pay more here!

Weird... I bought 18 PS4s last week, so who bought the other one?!?

Here in Japan, I've never been able to use my Japanese credit card to buy games on the non-Japanese eShops every time I've wanted to buy a game that has no chance of being translated and released in Japan. I've had to rely on tricking my poor old mother back in the motherland to buy prepaid cards for me. Good thing she's easily trickable!

@Glrd At this point I've given up hope on a collector's edition, which probably means that the very second I give in and pre-order it they'll announce something amazing.

That's way better than the part of Japan I live in where our daily reward for our hard work is an increase in price of some basic necessity. Yesterday it was eggs!

I'm okay with this. It was SO hard to avoid seeing any leaked information about Switch 2 before today, but I'm proud that I managed it.

I used them occasionally for ARMS, but then I bought Jamboree, and it's kind of the only way to play the game!

@ghostsoundjosh If they don't put it on Switch it will be the original sin that man is responsible to!

@ChessboardMan Fixing?!? I'll only buy this game if they include the original voice acting. And if they do, I'll buy a billion copies because that's about how many times I played it on Dreamcast. Then a few million more on Wii.

@ChromaticDracula So do I. I have no interest in streaming music... I want to be able to purchase it, download it, and add it to my digital music collection so that I can listen to it when and where and why and who I want! ...Even though I've only played the game for like 5 minutes so far.

I finished playing Cosmic Star Heroine (which was a fantastic game) and instead of moving on to the non-RPG portion of my backlog as I had planned I bought Echoes of Wisdown and have been playing that. I can finish it 100% in 5 hours, right??!?

I thought that would be relatively easy since I own 4 DSsses, but I think the problem is that they're all DSis. DSies? DSiusses? I bet the REAL reason I didn't do all that well in the quiz is because I don't know how to pluralize "DS".

I keep having fantasies about a dual-screened Switch 2, because man oh jeez I would love a DSwitch. I don't even care about playing DS games on it. I mean, there are SO MANY DS games that I loved, but I already have enough games to play without replying the old ones, and I would love to have new games in a dual-screen format. If there's some way to play handheld+TV like WiiU, only less annoying... then holy crap I'll buy 11 of them day 1. Or, more realistically, 1 of them on day 11.

I absolutely loved this game, and still get some of the music stuck in my head from time to time. Then I bought the limited edition on 3DS and never finished it because I was letdown by the various changes they made (we've got a strong female character... let's make her sexy this time!)(no stereoscopic 3D even though it doesn't seem like it would have been hard to implement!)(gacha items!)(it's all in Japanese! ...no wait, that was just me being lazy because I can read Japanese but I'd rather not if I don't have to). At least I got a cool artbook! ...with sexy pictures of the characters that don't fit the near-apocalyptic mood of the game. Still... I'd love to give this game another go and will definitely buy it again the next time it gets remade.

Well, if I don't own an electric fence, then where else am I supposed to let my pets whiz???

My opinion doesn't count because I've never played more than a tiny bit of one of those Star Wars Lego games with a friend, but never owned one, but still... my biggest complain about Lego games is that they feature normal video game polygonal environments with brick-built stuff thrown in. This game is entirely Lego, and despite the mediocre reviews that actually makes me want to play it, especially since I'll never play the real version. Into the wishlist, then!

NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I already played this game for over a thousand hours on Wii U, and I'm 100% obligated to do it again on Switch, meaning I'll never finish my backlog (including Xenoblade Remastered)! I mean... I guess I'm happy.

I've never owned a Mario Party game, and the last one I played was... one o' them Game Cube-era games. But my best friend's wife worked on this one so he keeps trying to trick me into buying it (I avoided it with the previous one), and Nintendo Life's review tells me it's time to give in to peer pressure.

@Friendly My kid is 6, and we play all kinds of games together, but the problem is that he cries when he loses. So I let up on him and he's like "play for real!" So I do and he cries when he loses. Kids are dumb. Still, I'm totally going to take my chances with this game! Or take my chances with him, I guess.

I noticed that Identity just went on sale today and decided that it's time to buy that game because I love all the other Bithell games I've played. Cool, now I have to buy this one, too. Though I really kind of wish they'd go back to their own original IP.
