@Sindayl haha - it really does

I 100% Powerwash Simulator with all paid and (the generous amount of) free DLC. I am currently working my way thru 2’s campaign and of course I will pick up every bit of DLC along the way! This game is so relaxing. I stick on a podcast or a familiar sitcom during night shifts and have a blissful time. The bigger and muckier the better!

Pushsquare were less favourable (what with their more powerful console to boot) and gave an 8/10.
I’m so excited for the generation pack to land on my doorstep this weekend… hours upon hours of awesome action horror!

@garfreek no, I have not!

@Banjo- absolutely! I had it as a kid and must have put dozens of hours in that cartridge. I hacked my Super Nintendo mini console, uploaded Wario Land GB and used the rewind feature to cheese the end of level minigames - which you can also do with the Virtual Boy one! I promised myself not to do that…

Enjoying what little I’ve played of Wario Land on Virtual Boy. But why oh why is Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 not on Game Boy NSO yet? That is possibly the greatest handheld platformer of all time. Conspicuous in its absence!

@Joriss sounds like you’re winning at life, brother!

@Kiz3000 I gotta remember to use that app once a day, before I do my morning routine of heading straight to NintendoLife…

This game was amazing on PS5. Looked and played incredible. I shan’t double-dip… until it goes for under £20 with the (as of yet, unplayed) DLC

@Wilshiire code in a box

Pleased by how soon this is releasing - I 100% this back in 2015 along with the DLC, so it’s about time to play thru this again on the Switch 2. Along with Rebirth, it’s a shame that I’m mostly excited by handheld games I’ve already completed! The Switch 2 seems keen to amend that, with RE Requiem and Pragmata releasing the same day as PS5. I’m excited about this generation!

Eh, I’ve been so burned out by Mario sports titles. I pre order them and have a play of a couple of modes and never pick up again. That’s on me, sure. With Switch I would pre order every first party title no matter what (aside from 1-2 Switch It Off), with the Switch 2, mercifully, I seem to have kicked this habit. I’ll definitely check out the review.

Suuuuure Nintendo

Ah, that’s the abridged Friday the 13th ending. Here’s the real one:

“You're dead. Your friends are dead. Your family's dead. Your pets are bein' skinned alive. You suck at life. The whole world hates you. You're goin' to Hell. Live with it. Game Over."

@larryisaman oh - my bad! Thanks, LD.
As an aside… it makes me laugh that PureXbox no longer publishes weekly charts. I wonder why…

100% of FFVII:R on Switch 2 and thus zero copies sold on Xbox on release week! Wow!

Purchased! Tho not as big a bargain as the £163 I paid for the Deku tree off Nintendo’s website a couple years back…

@Misima yeah, I also once read a Tweet four or five years ago and took it for gospel because I have no capacity for critical thinking.

Overlooked this while it was a GameCube exclusive… I saw the (EU) Wii artwork in a shop a couple years after and bought it on the spot

I’ll miss you Felix, you were always passionate and wholesome (and no doubt always will be!) good luck

All the best, Zion! and thank you.

@OldManHermit me too. I saw them for free at Hyde Park as part of Wireless Festival via Applause Store. Just had to get there early to be at the bandstand for a Channel 4 acoustic recording of Klaxons and Calvin Harris… memories.

Happy about these - they're clearly getting a good response!

As an aside, I wonder when Game Boy will get an update... it needs the "Nintendo Classics" title.

@John_Deacon it never occurred to me, but you’re exactly right. The spine doesn’t quite make up for it.

@Coffee-Waffle ShopTo - before they realised their error

Managed to snag this package for £42 physical

“Where else do you get your gaming news?“ should have both an “other” and “none” option.

This is currently a bargain price at many UK retailers (picked it up for £23 at Curry’s on Switch 2)

As Maxmoefoe would say in his Poképuns videos… “That rake was a gift from Bill”, so that’s how I pronounce it.

@westman98 of which includes the holiday period - and a huge Pokémon release! Easily done

@RazzBerryPie ya think?

@Suketoudara 40th? I’m not that old!

@Orwellian87 the only Direct rumours I trust are from NateTheHate. So, I'm confident this is going to happen.

@Jack_Goetz incredible! I’ll have to try it when I get home. Amazed this hasn’t been wider reported!

Was hoping there was an Easter egg somewhere of the famous start up sequence.

@Yosher I agree the chances are slim - it might be hidden in the menus at the very least. We shall hope and see!

@eltomo absolutely. Matthewmatosis on YouTube does deep dives into the 3D Zeldas and does a brilliant job of showcasing how the remake just makes the characters look like plastic toys, rather than a cel-shaded cartoon.

Any idea whether when we load the GameCube Online App we get the famous GameCube startup screen, or is it just the little chime as heard above, like with the other systems?

Got my pre order invite from Nintendo at 1230. Verification code took over five minutes to come thru... picked up console + Mario Kart, Pro controller and GameCube controller.

You forgot to mention Game Trials

Unless you’re purely going by Nintendo’s graphic, that is…

@Olmectron it’s not a giant leap to go from revealing more Metroid Prime 4 content to announcing Prime 2 is shortly available in the eShop, much like when Prime Remastered was shadow dropped.

They really could have announced Metroid Prime 2 Remastered after that 4 showcase and that would’ve been an easy crowd pleaser… maybe they really are holding it back for GameCube Online. The speculation continues.

Ohhh-ho that double Direct countdown banner on the NintendoLife website is both hilarious and extremely exciting.

Bit of a misleading title as it suggests only us Switch owners are getting shafted, but this is not the case. Otherwise, great article that I agree with fully.

I’d rather play this than World of Warcraft!

I’m actually surprised. This is the first first party (remaster or otherwise) I’ve not bothered with since the Switch launch. Figure it’ll get a physical reduction eventually… I’ll bite at £20.

Edit: to my knowledge. I haven’t picked up smaller games I have no interest in like 1-2 Switch sequel

@WhiteTrashGuy there certainly is - just barebones without DLC.

Glad you reported on this. I am so excited, I have sunk well over one hundred hours on this glorious game - and I love me some Wallace & Gromit! Cracking.

aww that’s cute - only took ya 3 films!

UK general election reference in the subheader did not go unnoticed
