@ieatdragonz Yeah this is what I keep hearing. Some shows/movies seem to be locked behind multiple paywalls in the US when everything is on Netflix overseas. Like the last Star Trek show with CBS all access.
Fans around the globe cheers as they hear Sonic Forces is slightly better than Mighty no. 9.
All jokes aside, I still don't get why they go full hyper complex plots on Sonic Games. Sometimes simplicity = fun. The intro for Odyssey was a really good example of smart storytelling.
Why did they wait 2 weeks before release to actually talk about the cool stuff ? I didn't plan on buying those because of the meh-announcements. Really weird marketing.
@Heavyarms55 Well the game hasn't even started its funding campaign. But I wouldn't be surprised if in the future some assets (the health bar, the access door to the boss, etc) were changed exactly for those reasons.
What? Doom in 10 days already? We just can't keep up.
Some pretty cool accessories this month, too. I hope there will be some thorough tests on the web for the Nyko Intercooler, it might be a good idea for users that have a TV setup in a crowded space.
And if I ever buy a second set of joy-cons, the joy-con + pro controller charging dock will be in my bucket list.
@BenAV I'm so happy there's another Itadaki street fan here ! Here's hoping Itadaki Street: Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary gets a Switch Port !
It's really logical, and a super smart move from Ubi. The Wii had a huge casual audience that didn't buy any new console afterwards, but still enjoy video games. Happy families will have lots of fun in 480i this holiday season.
@Paperboy @TommyTLG I only have one gamecube controller but it still works ?
I had to re-pair it though.
EDIT: by re-pair I mean that I unplugged-replugged the gamecube adapter.
If anyone wants the lyrics here they are: I’M THE MARIO Eat your arms and then again GO GO GOO GOO THE MARIO I am GOD and then you know COME ON IT’S TIME TO GO EAT THE TARIO doodle-doo doodoo JUST LIKE THAT
@chefelf There's an easy mode where you can't fall especially for that so I'd say probably yes ? Plus, there's that 2 players mode where player 2 acts as Cappy the hat.
@Heavyarms55 The genre is super popular now on mobile. Maybe a bit less on consoles nowadays. But there has been Luxor, Zuma, Actionloop Twist, Magnetica on the DS and even as far as PS1 with Ballistic (not sure about names, I had to google them). It's still less popular than tetris but heh, not bad for such a niche genre.
And it seems that it's all the universes from Disney & Sony, yet with the Marvel Comics counterparts (whereat LEGO Avengers was full MCU) and secondary characters that aren't in movies.
As the first Lego Marvel Super Heroes one was also a bit like that (MCU-flavored with the rest of the MU) and here it is not, I believe that this may be a rights issue ? But even then, who would fight to keep their Fantastic Four video-game rights ???
@2Awesome Hi, thanks for being here ! I have a very unexciting question: Does the game have language options or is it english only ? And if not, do you think coop gaming could still be accessible to any non-english speakers ?
@dimi I get that people usually compare eshop deals vs. PSN or XBL deals, and for the most part yeah, it's cheaper to play old games on non-Nintendo consoles. Sure.
But here you're comparing a deal on a march 2016 game which was already a re-release, to an eshop game that has less than a year on all platforms, and that came on Switch 2 months ago.
@Gerbwmu Probably a bit of both, but you can't dismiss the quality update of some points, like the backgrounds. The detail difference on the floor during cutscenes at 2:47 seems crazy.
Damn what a week... AGAIN. I have already played Axiom Verge on the Vita, so it will have to stand in line after Stardew Valley. But... the backlog... already...
Down the line, the publishers will ask for some kind of redesign. The "sort by last published" is just too bad a deal for the first few months of the eshop games.

Re: R-Type And Other Irem Arcade Hits Are Coming To Switch
@LaytonPuzzle27 You're right! And I would love to see Hamster try to detangle the Popeye and OG Donkey Kong arcade rights
@Yorumi Hamster needs blast processing
Re: R-Type And Other Irem Arcade Hits Are Coming To Switch
Virtual Console has officially been renamed Hamster.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th November (Europe)
What is going on with that RTO game ?
Side-scrolling FPS with permadeath. Ok. Cool. I totally get it. (I don't get it).

Good news. I hope we'll have Youtube too, make it easy to upload those nice 30s videos.

Re: Snipperclips Will Finally Support the Pro Controller and Joy-Con Grip
A lot of people will finally be able to play the 3 & 4 players levels without buying a 2nd set of joy-cons ! Neat !

Pretty fun way to work on your english vocabulary for us non-english speakers.

Re: Random: Here Are Some Licensed Collectible Nintendo Switch 'Lunchbox Kits'
Cool grips, even though I believe Nintendo already forgot the concept of "charging grips".
Re: More UK Gamers Bought The Wii Version Of Just Dance 2018 Than Switch, Xbox One Or Wii U
It's really logical, and a super smart move from Ubi.

Re: Review: Moon Hunters (Switch eShop)
@airsonist Well it's 18.90chf in Switzerland, so 16.30€.
If this is true, everybody will soon have a danish eshop account.
@Agramonte I get what you mean, but this doesn't look like a cracker. Unless you really like eating crackers on the side.
Re: Random: Mario Inadvertently Exposed Himself In An Officially Licensed '80s Comic

You can expect a lawsuit, nintendolife!!!!
Re: Nintendo Switch OS Version 4.0.1 Is Now Available

Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Season Pass DLC Will Include Plenty of Familiar Faces
I still don't get why the season pass wasn't in any collector's edition.
I hope Tharja's moveset is nice, at least.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th October (Europe)
Etrian Odyssey V seems buried in all of that. Hope it sells well.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Gets Updated, Here's What's New And Different
I'm sorry Nintendo but "No stability, no update"
Re: Don't Worry, You'll Be Able To Capture Video In Super Mario Odyssey
@cfgk24 I did exactly the same. FE Warriors is 14070.84 MB (I checked) and I would have been happy to download a big chunk of that during the night.
Re: Rumour: Keymailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for the Switch
If I ever travel back to 1997, I can't wait to tell my past-me that he will get to play Sonic and Crash Bandicoot on future Nintendo consoles.

Re: Take a Look at Three Musou / Warriors Games Heading to Switch in Japan

Re: Review: Sparkle 2 (Switch eShop)
@Heavyarms55 The genre is super popular now on mobile.

Maybe a bit less on consoles nowadays. But there has been Luxor, Zuma, Actionloop Twist, Magnetica on the DS and even as far as PS1 with Ballistic (not sure about names, I had to google them).

Re: Check Out the New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Story Trailer
@Mando44646 Thanks !
Re: Check Out the New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Story Trailer
@Jaxad0127 No confirmation but at this point, we should have the complete roaster. Can't believe they would hide Wolverine so close to release.
You can see an unofficial list here : http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LEGO_Marvel_Super_Heroes_2
And it seems that it's all the universes from Disney & Sony, yet with the Marvel Comics counterparts (whereat LEGO Avengers was full MCU) and secondary characters that aren't in movies.

Re: Review: Neon Chrome (Switch eShop)
Damn, that's too bad
Especially for visuals in handheld mode.
Well at least between that and touhou, trolls will stop whining about "bet it's gonna be 9/10"
@60frames-please : from what I've heard, nothing as steady as your funny username. I have yet to watch gameplay videos though.

@Kalmaro True... but back then the only electronic screens that made light were those red LED clock radios !

@DEZn00ts cool.

Re: No Heroes Here to Bring Chaotic Castle Defence to the Switch in 2018
Another coop game ? Do they think I'm made of friends ?!?
The idea seems pretty fun, and I'd like to see more of that
