Re: Feature: The Biggest Retail Games Hitting Nintendo Switch This Spring

I'm hoping to buy DKC:TF, but I already conquered it so I won't be willing to pay $60. If it drops to $30 I'd buy it.

Hyrule Warriors, on the other hand, I also conquered on Wii U, but I will be happy to pay full price for that one. Part of the reason is it has more replayability for me and part of it is I never bought any of the DLC and this comes with ALL of it.

Assuming Capcom doesn't have a specific reason that they just straight up don't want to put it on Switch (like Sony and Microsoft paid them to keep it off Switch) then they should give these guys a shot, but make it clear in the contract that if it doesn't meet a minimum level is acceptability then they'll can the project and there will be no payment. Then Capcom had literally nothing to lose. If it plays well then they sell lots of copies to Switch owners like me and if it doesn't play well then it doesn't happen and they don't have to fork out a single dime

With how strong the hype for Celeste was just a few weeks ago I'm amazed to see it has already died...I have been considering purchasing it but suddenly nobody in my podcasts are mentioning it and here it looks like none of the Nintendo Life staff are playing

For me, I vote with my wallet. New Super Luigi U was the BEST implemention as far as bang for my buck. I got a full new game that was even more fun than the original for $20. I bought that without hesitation. Mario Kart 8 came out with it and the new karts and characters did nothing for me, but the new maps have us lots more enjoyable playing time. My wife and I got gold at each speed and every cup (including the free 200cc DLC) and still wanted to play more so I bought the DLC and never regretted it.
New Super Mario Bros 2 I just felt like they wanted too much money for each and every level so I never bought any (although I almost bought 1 that looked particularly fun)
Pikmin 3, I enjoyed, but not even enough to conquer the main game so I had no desire to buy more
Smash, the additional characters wouldn't have increased how often I play and I think they would have decreased my enjoyment (as I like being decent at everyone but the more characters there are the harder it is to learn them all) plus it was so filthy expensive so I never bought any of them
Breath of the Wild I will probably buy. I conquered the game and if the Ballad of the Champions had been available that day I would've bought it immediately, but by the time it came out I was playing NBA 2K and Xenoblade. I'm 90% sure I'll buy it I'm just not yet sure when. Probably in a few months when I'm wishing to play some more Zelda
We'll see where I stand as it continues to come out, but I never feel like I have to buy it.
