I'm late to the party there but there is a good amount of things that can be read there that show a lot of misconception on what a critique is.
Nintendo plays by its own rules. That's it. They enter a new medium they're going to do so by their own rules. They never really cared what the others do and always do things their own way, that's what they're doing here.
It's something I would have loved a couple years ago when I had more gaming time, especially coupled with Gamechat. I would have spent so much time on that thing.
Nowadays though it's just not compatible with my life anymore, have fun kids!
Finally let's gooooo! I can't wait to see how it turns out, the demo absolutely confirmed this would be my type of game and overall everything looked polished and well executed.
@LastFootnote Oh okay then, I misunderstood what you were saying. Weird though, I seem to remember I already wishlisted it. Or maybe I also misremember lol.
They do just that but just for a period of time near the directs themselves. After that they don't have a specific tag that allows to search for Direct bound games.
That being said they also have a pretty good search tool so you could just use that it's very simple and it works fine.
Nintendo completely dropped the ball with this licence it seems.
At least this one looks like it has some potential and it could be some kind of curiosity. But yeah, gone are the days of Yoshi's Island and it's marketing campaign where Nintendo said things like "the best game ever is not on 32 bits". No Yoshi game has had this kind of ambition behind it ever since.
I really hope we're getting Dark Souls 3 at some point. I'll happily give Elden Ring a try though but I hear it's very grindy and way too big and way too long and I think overall DS was much more my cup of tea. But still I'll give it a try.
I'm pretty sure Bayo4 was about Viola going to save Bayo. I hope the series will get a proper follow up.
Also I thought Bayo was dead but knew in this multiverse context it didn't mean much and it would have been really easy to reintroduce another Bayo in the next game anyway.
I would have been fine with Viola taking the lead though. I kind of hoped this was a bold move and Bayo was really dead and they were going to go with an older more mature and "bayonified" Viola in the next game both in terms of personality and design. That would have been the perfect way to deal with this situation imo.
@GoldenSunRM I played it with friends and yes it was really good fun. Giving players different arenas to play around with, with different classic modes like dogfight, team or simple death match, capture the flag, different types of objectives etc, air/air and air/ground arenas... and there you go you've got a winner.
Plus the solo in Assault was also nice and at least tried something new with its story. Honestly I think they have a really good basis to expand upon.
So... Are they going to fix it? As others have said, nintendo is supposed to have quality standards. They absolutely have to do something I mean people are asking for refunds for that thing.
Hahaha no way! Guess who bought that game YESTERDAY thinking oh come on they'll patch it eventually. Plus I really wanted to support the game actually being ON the cartridge.
I really thought Welcome to Animal Crossing would be ranked lower. I'm really glad it's not!
That being said, I can get behind any ranking for the main four. GC/DS/3DS/NS1 can all be ranked in any order depending on a mix between nostalgia and personal preferences and that's fine.
@rallydefault I'm back and forth on that one. They're both really good games. I replayed DKC3 recently and it was a real redemption arc for that game as far as I'm concerned. It's not as good overall as the others but it's such a unique and special game in a lot of different ways. It was some sort of proto collectathon that prefigured what was to come for Rare.
I realized the only DK game that got a 10 was Returns, which don't get me wrong it is a good game, but it's definitely in the lower tier of that series. I would even argue it's the "worst" of the bunch.
@JR150 Yeah if Fortune's Weave has Engage gameplay with Three Houses flair, that is if it DOESN'T have the enormous focus on social sim form TH and the ridiculous design and lackluster story from Engage, then we're in for a good one.
As for AI we need an international convention to inform the consumer of what is AI generated in the game. That should be at least brand associated if not across the entire industry.

Re: Rumour: A Metroid Movie May Become A Reality As Two Studios Battle For Rights
I think this is literally the worst of all nintendo franchises to adapt for several reasons. I say leave it alone.
Re: UK Charts: Pragmata Shoves Tomodachi Life Off The Top Spot
@Falk_Sturmfels
I think Pragmata is a very gamey game for lack of a better word.
And people who like Ninty and switch usually like gamey games.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (GBA)
Europe is actually so much better than the other two this time around.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Play Zelda Games For The Story?
Yes, I very much enjoy stories in games in general and really like the Zelda series for its many amazing stories.
Re: 'Sega Universe' Initiative Announced, Celebrating Multiple Classics With Anniversary Projects
@TheRazor
Well yes I don't think the Megadrive app was ever updated but it started right away with a really good selection of games.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pragmata?
I can't wait to get my hands on that and give it a proper go.
Also someone or maybe a couple people actually, voted abysmal. How's that even possible is beyond me.
Re: Splatoon Raiders Is Alive, And It's Out This Summer On Switch 2
Okay I'll bite.
Looks fun and well I don't do multiplayer splatoon anymore but I I'll be happy to dive back (pun intended) with a solo adventure!

Re: Dive Into The Pages Of Yoshi And The Mysterious Book In This New Overview Trailer
@burndive
Exactly. 100% agree on both the music and the difficulty. Fingers crossed.
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Having "Very Big Discussions" About Exclusivity
I mean, they're about to launch a new console. That's not very surprising news that they would want to secure big name exclusives.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Playing Final Fantasy XIV Online On Switch 2?
It's something I would have loved a couple years ago when I had more gaming time, especially coupled with Gamechat. I would have spent so much time on that thing.
Nowadays though it's just not compatible with my life anymore, have fun kids!
Re: 'Sega Universe' Initiative Announced, Celebrating Multiple Classics With Anniversary Projects
I dream of an NSO Dreamcast service, the same way they already did Megadrive.

Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Snaps Up Photo Mode In New Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Yousef-
I think the idea is that it is the evolution of Musou.
Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Snaps Up Photo Mode In New Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
I absolutely need to get this at some point.
Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Officially Revealed, But It'll Skip Switch 2
@Raccoonius
Sure it has its fans, what I meant was a lot less people care about it now compared to black flag.
Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Officially Revealed, But It'll Skip Switch 2
I mean it's literally the only game in the whole series that has some kind of link to nintendo. That's weird.
Oh wait 3 was also a Wii U game but nobody cares about 3.

Re: Best Fake OS Games On Nintendo Switch 1 & 2
Isn't Blippo+ technically a game that makes you navigate a virtual device?
It's very good.

Re: New Orbitals Gameplay Trailer Makes Us Even More Excited For The Anime Co-Op Adventure
This is probably my most anticipated game in those announced this year with rhythm heaven of course.
I absolutely can't wait!

Re: Mario Galaxy Movie Helps Franchise Surpass $2 Billion At Global Box Office
Still haven't seen it though I would really like to. From what I've read here and there I think I'd like it.
It's not easy going to the cinema when you're in charge of a toddler. But hey he's my pride and joy and Mario can wait.
Re: Dang, We Got An Elden Ring Movie Release Date Before The Switch 2 Port
I really hope we're getting Dark Souls 3 at some point. I'll happily give Elden Ring a try though but I hear it's very grindy and way too big and way too long and I think overall DS was much more my cup of tea. But still I'll give it a try.
Re: "A Big Miscalculation On My Part" – Hideki Kamiya On Leaving Bayonetta 3 Up To Interpretation

Re: "A New Mission Awaits" - SNK Celebrates 30 Years Of Metal Slug, Teases Exciting Future
Alright then SNK, give it a try.
You might want to be super extra careful what you're doing with that licence.
Re: We Might Have Just Got Our Best Look At Link In The Legend Of Zelda Movie
Is that the actor though?
It might just be working material, as in prep artwork.
Anyway it looks very good.
Also we've got the name of the movie it seems. TLoZ:Umami.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Professor Layton And Pandora's Box
I'll always vote for the EU Layton boxarts. The idea they're going for is very unique and works incredibly well.
Also, for Mendel Palace it's the other way round, JP won with 53% though I admit I liked US better.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Datamine Has Fans Of Mercenaries Mode Excited
Anything they want! I'll take it, this game is fantastic.

Still if it happens to be mercenaries that would be great.
Re: Pokémon & Zelda Rip-Off 'Pickmos' Removed From Steam As Publisher Intervenes
A rip off of a rip off.
That's the state of the industry how thrilling.
Re: Lana Del Rey Releases 007 First Light Official Theme Song
Not a bond fan myself but there had been good games with that franchise so we'll see.
The song is okay I guess. Not bad but not one of the greats.

Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Star Fox Game?
For real though, I think the next Star Fox should be Assault 2. That game had tons of good ideas on top of being a true Star Fox.
Especially for the multiplayer. The multiplayer should be Star Fox Battlefront.
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Star Fox Game?
Barrel rolls.
Lots of them.

Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years
@MoldyPasta
Yes DKB pushed the genre.
In the wrong direction.
I'm kidding of course. Well not really I really think that but it's mainly for the joke that I commented.
Re: Feature: A Look Back At Every Game Nintendo Life Scored 10/10 Over 20 Years

Re: Review: South Of Midnight (Switch 2) - A Port That Compromises What This Enjoyable Game Did Best
I mean I look at the screens there they look definitely good enough for me.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mendel Palace
Gotta vote for that US cover for its excellent placement in the what the f* is this s* category.
Re: Two First-Party Switch 2 Ratings Have Been Spotted
@JR150
Yeah if Fortune's Weave has Engage gameplay with Three Houses flair, that is if it DOESN'T have the enormous focus on social sim form TH and the ridiculous design and lackluster story from Engage, then we're in for a good one.
Re: The Rogue Prince Of Persia Physical Release Now Available On Switch 1 & 2
This looks really good.
I don't do roguelikes anymore but this one is one of the few that I could be tempted by if I ever get a bit more gaming time.
Re: Level-5 Release Dates Still Up In The Air For Some Potential 2026 Titles
They'll get there eventually.
As for AI we need an international convention to inform the consumer of what is AI generated in the game. That should be at least brand associated if not across the entire industry.
Re: Video: Mortal Kombat II's New Movie Trailer Features A Very Special Kameo
@vanYth
Ah right. Was it any good?
Re: Video: Mortal Kombat II's New Movie Trailer Features A Very Special Kameo
I didn't follow is Mortal kombat 1 the movie that was released in the 90s or something? Or did they release a reboot at some point?
Re: Rhythm Heaven Groove Drums Up Switch Release Date
YES! Yes!
I absolutely can't wait for this it's been so long!
