Since when does Nintendo do a Direct for 1 specific game that's 4 MONTHS OUT. That's not how they took. They do game specific directs a few weeks before it comes out. As much as I'd like to try Dark Souls I think this is false too
Oddly enough, with all the different weapons on offer in this game the Splattershot Jr is the one I use the most. Either way, this game doesn't get nearly enough credit! It's amazing!
Interestingly, I own all 4 of these top games he mentioned, but none of them are they reason I bought the Switch.
Back in the January full reveal I was trying to decide if I should buy this new toy... Then they announced XENOBLADE 2 for the first year and I decided right then and there I would be a day 1 Switch purchaser
@Great_Gonzalez @90sRetroGaming @tamantayoshi @cowntsikin What has got everybody guessing Skyward Sword? Don't get me wrong I'd love to play Skyward Sword again, but I just assumed it would be Zelda II (2) in the Breath of the Wild Engine (technically I believe it was the Xenoblade X engine first)
On the 2D option, you didn't list my overall favorite. I wanted to vote for Super Luigi U...I guess you considered it a spin off?
On the 3D Marios I couldn't vote for Odyssey because I'm saving it for my son's birthday in a few weeks so I haven't played it yet, but I was amazed to see I was the only one that Voted 3D Land. I thought the 8special worlds were Super Fun! (Although I did consider putting Sunshine in I like 3D Land a little more)
Talk about getting people too excited. I want Donkey Kong Country: Apes in the Wild. A co-op open world game (kind of like Breath of the Wild and Odyssey but co-op which is how we played Returns and Tropical Freeze)
I bought myself one, then I bought my wife one so that we can play Splatoon together. Then I bought a 3rd (I have 3 kids). Car trips are much easier now
@Reignmaker a solid stream of Wii U ports would be great for me. If they'd just announce a Xenoblade X port I'd finally be emotionally able to sell my Wii U
@sillygostly I'm not at all surprised by the sales of 1 2 Switch. I agree, it's not a game for gamers and I also don't enjoy it, but my wife is there one that begged me to buy it and she likes to pull it out when non-gaming family comes over and my kids still pull it out and play it quite frequently (just yesterday as it just so happens)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE really? Sales based on what game? How about Mario Odessey? This projection is for between now and the end of March. So the projection is mostly for Christmas sales. Obviously this is the first Christmas it's been out and Nintendo sells best at Christmas so for all intents and purposes it'll be the first Christmas for Mario Odessey, Zelda, & Splatoon 2.
@NintndoNik I downloaded this game the moment it became available and I've played MyCareer a lot, but I've never experienced this save data corruption glitch. My guess is it's pretty rare if it exists at all
@Oubie I downloaded it at launch and if I had known about these small glitches and was given the choice to wait and not experience them...I still would have downloaded it day 1. I never experienced anything game breaking just small annoyances (like a few broken cut scenes)
Why is nobody reporting on NBA 2K? I pre-ordered the game and was told I'd get it Sept 15, then last week I got an email that says I won't get it until Oct 17 then I'm told Sept 15 digitally if you preorder it and Sept 19 digitally if you don't preorder it but how do I pre-order a digital game?
I love when games do this and keep adding free content. My guess is that for some games it reactivates excitement and ignites new sales. Hopefully it works well so that more and more games will do it too
@EvilRegal @SuperTeeter64 @joeb1kenobi I really doubt they pulled a Wal-Mart because Nintendo said pre-orders would go live late August. I also signed up to be notified and never got an email or a text... Worthless service
I would really like to know what makes this the definitive version since I can't play this one the same way I played that one (me as Rayman and my son and Murphy)

Re: Reddit Wonders If Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Is Coming To Switch
@BanjoPickles I'm with BanjoPickles. This game was AMAZING and top 3 of all the 3DS games, but it needs to be in 3D
Re: The Octobrush Nouveau Is Now Available in Splatoon 2
Nice I'll go check it out. Thanks!
We're still playing Splatoon a couple times a week
Re: Feature: Vote For Your 2017 Nintendo Life Game of the Year
As much as I'd like to put Xenoblade 2, Breath of the Wild is the correct answer here.

FILM!
Re: Preview: Returning to a Strange Universe in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Thanks for the GREAT NEWS! Don't get me wrong I really looked X, but the original is my all time favorite game!
Re: Hands On: Watching Hulu on the Nintendo Switch
@Tibob I think the GoldenEye reference is because Hulu has a bunch of James Bond movies on it
Re: Hands On: Watching Hulu on the Nintendo Switch
@KIRO not with Hulu. They've said they're working to add that functionality, but right now it's not there
Re: New Fire Emblem Warriors Update Basically Turns The Game Into Ghouls 'n Ghosts
@readyletsgo yes! Except that it's not Zelda, the gameplay itself is better

I think I'm definitely outside of the norm
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd November (North America)
@DTFaux oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd November (North America)
Wait!?! Nobody else wants Super Beat Sports? I'm all over that game!
Re: Europe Gets Eight New Wii U and 3DS My Nintendo Discount Rewards
If Federation Force was half off, I'd get 2 copies and play it with my wife
Re: Reggie on Backing Up Your Saves with the Switch
@Spoony_Tech I'm pretty sure 2K sports saves your game to their cloud. That's what it seems like when I play at least
Re: Random: Did Reggie Just Accidentally Reveal Switch's Next Big Game Announcement?
Talk about getting people too excited. I want Donkey Kong Country: Apes in the Wild. A co-op open world game (kind of like Breath of the Wild and Odyssey but co-op which is how we played Returns and Tropical Freeze)
Re: Nintendo Wants Everyone In Your House To Have Their Own Switch
I bought myself one, then I bought my wife one so that we can play Splatoon together. Then I bought a 3rd (I have 3 kids). Car trips are much easier now
Re: Nintendo Gamers Prefer Using Switch As A Handheld Rather Than Docked
@Anti-Matter the article said specifically for Budget minded customers. That seemed like the cheapest to me.
Re: Nintendo Gamers Prefer Using Switch As A Handheld Rather Than Docked
Wouldn't it be cheaper to make one for those customers that are docked only? You could ditch the screen.

Re: Miyamoto on Bringing Back the “Old” Style of Mario, Exploring New Art Styles
@crackafreeze you're amazing! How did you know Nintendo Life would give Mario Odessey a 10? Are you psychic?

My wife and I conquered this game and really wished there was more... Soon there will be
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - The Triumphant(?) Return
NBA 2K18 and Xenoblade X!

Re: Review: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition (Switch)

Re: Review: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition (Switch)
@Reignmaker out of those 3? No question Rayman Legends
Re: FAST RMX Version 1.3 Goes Live on 13th September
I love when games do this and keep adding free content. My guess is that for some games it reactivates excitement and ignites new sales. Hopefully it works well so that more and more games will do it too
Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games and Accessories for September and October
September's but game may be Pokken Tournament for some, but for me there's a clear and obvious September best game and it's not made by Nintendo...
NBA 2K18!!! I can't wait!

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th August (North America)
I'm surprised... Only 45% for Mario + Rabbids. I figured it'd be more like 70% guess I'm overestimating
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition
@EvilRegal thanks. At this point I've about given up and I'm mostly just hoping they'll let me buy Star Fox 1 & 2 on my Switch
