Daz has the right idea since some years down the line, that variant of the OLED might be difficult to find.

Think this poll is a bit early; maybe redo it after more of us receive our preordered physical copies. I’m curious to see the numbers.

Also, I’m pretty sure the internet is just blowing this way out of proportion, but I want to play the game myself to confirm it.

If your kid is using your credit card without your permission, I think they need discipline to be honest. The act of not saving your credit card info alone doesn’t convey to the kid that it’s inappropriate behavior to steal money.

I prefer the change as it’s a less immature response to a bogey. 😅 I personally couldn’t play as Daisy before because her “whatever” was too salty when I’m just trying to have fun playing with my friends. It didn’t really fit the “fun” theme of Mario Golf either in my opinion.

I find it amusing a “console” that’s not even out yet somehow has a toxic fanbase already.

The votes don’t line up between the two polls; I think folks voted in the 2nd one even if they weren’t buying a Steam Deck.

Hopefully the scalpers will realize nobody wants the OLED model so badly that they’d overpay for it. If not, I hope Nintendo puts out more of them around release day.

I really wanted to preorder one today but was unable to. I find that shocking since I was under the impression this was an unpopular model.

Bit of a shame, but at least they’re upfront about it. I’ll still buy it for the Switch though since it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

Looks neat, I might pick it up since I don’t own the game but am curious about the art book. Sega is putting out a fair amount of merchandise to celebrate the 30th anniversary it seems.

Absolutely loved this article. It covers a lot of my thoughts as a female gamer growing up. Especially the part about feeling like you have to settle for under-dressed-woman-who-likes-it-that-way or girl-power-woman.

Like, the more it is highlighted that the character is “Female!!” the less I personally feel connected to them.

I had to watch the clip a few times just to figure out what was so bad about what he said. 😅 He was obviously talking about the card’s value.

Honestly, shame on the person who tried to get him cancelled over something like this.

This was a fun read, and I have to say, Kate Gray’s responses are so witty and hilarious

There’s probably a LOT of digital sales; I hope they reveal those numbers soon. A handful of my friends and I bought the game digitally and 3 of us have never played MH before this

Thank you, definitely agree with most of what was mentioned and I appreciate you shedding light on some of the details everyone skipped out on when making the hashtag trend. I’ve thought similarly, but it’s hard to “speak out” at an angry mob.

Sincerely, thank you.

Still playing Daemon X Machina, but I'm thinking of picking up Doraemon Story of Seasons!

YES! I was hoping Level-5 would develop something for the Switch. They have so many well-loved franchises and their new IPs are always great - they could release anything hahaha.

I'm going to be a weirdo and say I hope they release something like the Guild series from the 3DS (it was a compilation of smaller games) or just random games in general. That way, the company can test the waters for the type of audience the Switch has, and then produce the IPs that come closest to it.

That or they can just take a dive and throw their IPs right in, but I'm not sure that's a good idea for them... It's more exciting anyway to have new games and IPs. If all the other companies are just porting over their IPs, Level-5 would stand out best by putting something new or unknown on the table.

I'm honestly not into having my own character, but I do understand the appeal it has for others. I'll still buy the game too. The background music of the second video sounds great, so I'm glad the game is coming together well!

An 8 out of 10 is a solid score and I respect the reviewer's opinion, but I definitely would have given this a 9.
This was my first Boxboy game and I absolutely loved it.

I'm honestly super excited for this game, and I'm glad to see Nintendo Life covering it!! It's kind of disappointing to see others aren't so into it though (and even more disappointing to see some prefer Bombergirl, but that's another story and to each their own). This is the only other Switch exclusive aside from 1-2-Switch at launch, so it's unfortunate people don't see its potential. I wish Konami would promote this game more too; then maybe people might understand its full appeal.

If your friend circle is not silly enough to play 1-2-Switch, this game is a much more comfortable alternative. Similar to 1-2-Switch, explaining Bomberman's controls and how to play is relatively simple. It's family-friendly too, so you can play with your children or they can play with their friends. Also, the levels shouldn't take too long to complete, so you can play in short bursts if you're the busy type (as I am). This game is perfect for the Switch, so it's truly unfortunate to see that it's not gaining as much traction as it should.

Nah, Super Bomberman R is much better. At least for me it is; I play games for clean fun.

Couldn't agree more; it really does have to do with the launch title content rather than number. Aside from 1-2- Switch, Breath of the Wild, and Super Bomberman R, the rest of the launch titles are ports. This makes it easy for people to lose interest if they are not fans of those three games, which is unfortunately a substantial number of people. Top that with the fact that the media likes to exaggerate negative news, and it will appear that the Switch is having a "soft launch." (I had no idea people were using the word "soft launch" wrong. Thanks for the info!)

I think no matter what, there was no way for the Switch to launch with completely positive reception from the media. It has been received positively by non-hardcore gamers though. Also, I do believe the approach is correct - the Switch emphasizes taking the console outside and sharing the joy cons with others. The more the console is seen and shared with non-owners, the more interest it will drum up and the more likely someone will buy it for themselves. So even if pre-launch looks bad, post-launch should look much better when people see other people with Switches.

I think it's the right approach. Quality over quantity, and you don't want the games eating into each other's sales.

It makes sense from a consumer standpoint as well. Can't speak for other people, but I typically only buy one game at a time; rarely will I buy two at once. But with the launch lineup, I already like two games (Breath of the Wild and Super Bomberman R). If they were releasing Splatoon 2 as a launch title alongside Breath of the Wild, I would not buy all three, and whichever one is not bought will likely NEVER be bought by me after my hype for it dies.

I really, really want this game, but I need to save money for the Switch! Trio of Towns comes out way too close to the Switch launch date. I will probably pick it up closer to summer, maybe.

Yesss, I'm so glad it's not $60!! At $50, I'm very willing to buy it, though $40 would have been a more approachable price.
I like the art style and kooky characters, which are fun and also make this launch game the most approachable to young gamers. $40 would have convinced parents to buy it readily, I'd say, so it's a missed opportunity to expand the fan base to the younger generation.
