Re: Community: Nintendo Life Staff's Non-Game Highlights Of 2023

For me, it was bittersweet. While there were many great movies, shows and games. But over the last few years, having to sit back and watch a lot of things I loved, turn to utter rubbish.

The likes of Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR, Dr Who, Marvel, DC, Transformers all being total garbage now, FreeRadical shutdown and TimeSplitters cancelled, and terrible “official” English translations just to name a few.

The few things that I feel I have left that I continue to enjoy are Nintendo, Warhammer and various anime. Hopefully there won’t be any more casualties in 2024, and most, if not all of the things I used to like, start to turn around and go back to what made them so great in the first place.
And if there are to be casualties in 2024, hopefully it’ll just be AI replacing those terrible localisers.

And that’s all I got to say about that.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of The Demo For Another Code: Recollection?

I’ve played, but not beaten the original DS game, so story/puzzle wise I know most of what I’m in for. The character design is great, English voice acting was a little dull but not terrible, the Japanese voice acting was better. The environment design is poor (GameCube era/modern Pokémon design quality) but not overly distracting, camera controls were a major standout, in how jarring they were (like let me zoom out further and don’t “bump” into the environment/boundaries).

There’s some room for improvement and demo has knocked my interest a bit, but if feedback is received they could easily fix the problems before release.

Re: Nintendo President Reiterates Switch Software Support Into FY24/25

Well duh, it would be silly of any console dev to immediately drop support for their last gen console. Not until their next one hits its stride with the masses.

What if they have another supply issue or some other issue? Gotta have something to fall back on, and having over near 100 million active units is a good foundation to fall back on.

Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility

This article is almost in as poor of taste as NLife's "LatinX" article, almost.

In your opinion, it might not necessarily "need" it, but I'd rather not have to buy "remastered" Switch games for the successor console. Nor do I really want to hang onto my Switch, when all the Switch games I own could be all conveniently played on a single console.
It also helps when getting a new console, I'll have assets to trade in for a better price.

In foresight, it would be unwise to not make it backwards compatible.
