Man I would buy it if they were able to add the miiverse bottles back somehow. I loved those, that the like button was a "yeah!" Since that's definitely something Link would say. I'd always gather up a bunch before setting sail and read them on the trip to my next island.
Been tempted to hack my WiiU to get that function back. I'm just not sure how worth it, it could be, since I doubt there are people lining the streets playing it.
@OldGamer999 not sure if some one answered you but it is not a wide screen supported GameCube game. Funny that the the on release 2 of them are, because it is pretty uncommon.
@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT there were some articles on time extension that talked about a worse case scenerio stuff will go up 30%. So with that math it'll make the switch 2 585.
Which is sickening but probably more realistic. Sorry I don't have a link to the article.
I got BOTW on WiiU so she times it's hard to revisit, so I can see me grabbed that enhanced. I don't know about TOTK. Maybe the digital upgrade or something. Not a priority.
@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT I feel like if they remaster and do NSO everyone wins. You get the original experience at a "discount" and if you like it, you can buy a nice version.
It was one of the only things that interested me on the direct. I'll watch it on deku deals and see if there's every a crazy sale. My back log is frightening right now so not terribly interested in picking anything up soon.
I'm one of the wierdies that only has joy cons, and only plays WiiU with the gamepad, despite having a pro controller. I know Id love a pro controller, but I just feel like joy con are too fun and weird.
I also never really get to play for more than an hour at a time so I'm usually wrapped up before my hands get uncomfortable.
I agree with the fomo of switch 2. They need some blow my socks off software to get me to be an early adopters, which I highly doubt will happen.
As I get older I keep getting more and more retro with the SNES, Genesis, GameCube and unfortunately now retro, 3DS and WiiU. So I'm pretty happy playing old stuff right now!
My most played game is Sonic Mania so I voted that. It's got infinite replayability for me, the sound track is awesome and my eyes never get tired of looking at it, especially on the OLED.
So if a switch 1 game runs on switch 2, does that mean that the switch 2 will emulate the switch1 to make it run like the wii and Wiiu? Or will it run natively on switch 2 giving those games access to the extra RAM and what not to be able to run better?
Sorry friend they both die at the end of the month. You can still use the voucher after the end of the month but I doubt they'd add prime 4 to the line up :/
@splinters you think they'll put it up as game voucher approved given they are discontinuing them at the end of the month, months before the game even hits the shelves?
I do imagine myself getting the new console, but I've never been an early adopters of a console, Im gonna need to see some pretty convincing software for me to want to jump over.
Even with the switch I just got BOTW on WiiU and held off on buying a switch until the Links Awakening remake.
Well I suppose it was inevitable. The only way it could have been available is if they owned the games.
I mean maybe it was up for renewal and they turned down the contract since it doesn't get a lot traffic so they can use that money toward a more interesting game, or of a higher demand.
@Ulysses As a leftie, something that haunts me about the Wii era was the feeling that I'm always playing backwards, with the Wii remote in either hand never feeling quite right.
@swoose I totally agree I play my 3DS everyday just about.
The only place I stutter is Kid Icarus Uprising would work so much better with dual sticks. Those levels are so cool and trippy I don't see it having the same effect on an HD screen as it does on 3DS, but I'd like it to have a port or remaster.
I mean maybe they've been holding off on releasing the old old titles because they are gonna rerelease the upgraded versions like leaf green and heart gold?
I mean this ideally would have never happened. Not that it's the same but Nintendo had that skyward sword save glitch back in the day that you couldn't give an update over wifi, and had a janky kinda update on the Wii menu. I just know it's happened to the big companies as well, quality control issues.
I want to bring up that they are really eating the cost of the problem, giving everyone a new copy that already has one? That's really cool of them. And I'm sure costly.
LRGs feels like gambling to me, not because of quality, but quantity, and it freaks me out. So I've never bought from them, but as a potential consumer, it makes me happy to hear they do take care of their customers, if problems do come up.
I also love Warioland for giving us King Knights Quest in Shovel Knight Treasure Trove. Easily the most replayable of the 4. The card game isn't my favorite but the gameplay is to die for. I'm sure everyone here's probably played it. But it's worth mentioning in case there's an unknowing soul.
@NeonPizza so this is all new to me, does that mean that the resolution is better? Upscaled using the meta quest? Or is it just a better experience that you can share with others since it projects to a screen?
@NeonPizza agreed 3DS is one of my favorite systems but the resolution was pretty poor, so seeing it on a bigger screen is cooler, and being able to share the experience is great too but super lame losing the 3D effect. I am a full blast 3D slider kinda guy.
Whatever they do I liked the community. Kinda like Nintendo life I can find people with similar interests, but it was fun being able to talk about a game that just came out, or share silly pictures with stamps.
Also the miiverse bottles from wind waker were a fan favorite of mine.

Re: Nintendo Confirms US Price For 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour'
@TheExile285 ya that's a super good point. They sure like rolling stuff into the online package. I wonder why they didn't just add this.

Re: Nintendo Appears To Have Given Its Game Cases A Makeover On Switch 2
@Anti-Matter they for sure said in the direct that the carts are the exact same size as standard switch carts. No idea about the cases though.

Re: Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
No manches. That stinks. I'm still on the fence about preordering, but that is unfortunate.
Re: We've Seen Switch 2's LCD Screen In The Flesh, And It Really Doesn't Feel Like A Downgrade
Man dont tell me that! That's one of the reasons I was waiting to upgrade.
I almost exclusively play hand held since I really only get to play on my lunch breaks since when I'm home I'm on Dad duty.
I'll say this, I super have FOMO for switch 2. But prices are scary.
Re: GameCube Games On Switch 2 Will Support An Optional CRT Filter
@LexKitteh yo that's a crazy idea. I like it.
Re: PSA: Switch Online Includes Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack Access At "No Additional Cost"
@OctolingKing13 please no, nintendo already asked me to give up a kidney today.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Direct April 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
I mean I wasnt hankering for a new console so I guess I'm not the audience. I'm hopeful for a price drop in a few years. Then I'll adopt.
Re: Switch 2 Games Cost A Bit More Than You're Probably Expecting
@TYRANACLES I was really hoping to hear about a new system of rewards today. Muy sad
Re: Zelda: Breath Of the Wild And Tears Of The Kingdom Will Be Enhanced With Switch 2

I'd crap a brick if this happens.

Re: Random: Sakurai Sends Fans Into Meltdown Ahead Of Switch Direct
Do I want a remaster, heck yes. Do I want a sequel?
Please give us a sequel.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
@mariomaster96 will said. I don't know why they haven't ported the WiiU Zelda games, but I hope they will!
Re: Nintendo Reuploads Game Vouchers Trailer With Switch 2 Fine Print
@Tangerine Im hopeful. We are a week out from the switch 2 direct, maybe they'll announce a new royalty program!
Re: 'The Knightling' Packs Plenty Of 3D Zelda Vibes Into New Release Date Trailer
I remember when this was announced. It looks neat. Cool concept for sure. Hopefully the gameplay is as good as the trailer is promising.

Do not doom another Metroid with a poor release time dang it.
Re: Mailbox: Switch 2 FOMO, Spark Games, Pancakes & BOTW - Nintendo Life Letters
I love the mailbox articles alot.
I agree with the fomo of switch 2. They need some blow my socks off software to get me to be an early adopters, which I highly doubt will happen.

Re: Poll: What Switch Game Could You Not Live Without?
@Ultimapunch your comment made my night haha. Ya my new hope is maybe for a 10 year anniversary, since superstars was pretty disappointing.

My most played game is Sonic Mania so I voted that. It's got infinite replayability for me, the sound track is awesome and my eyes never get tired of looking at it, especially on the OLED.
Re: Nintendo's MAR10 Day eShop Sale Welcomes A Handful Of Sweet Savings (North America)
@CaleBoi25 I can't Believe they didn't! Definitely worth picking up second hand at least, definitely best 3D Mario game.

Re: Anniversary: Nintendo Switch Launched On This Day Eight Years Ago
10/10 for me. I'm as a father, so the only time I play is on my lunch break at work, so handhelds are so important.
It has its flaws but I'm not here to criticize the thing on its anniversary, the good far outweighs the bad.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Removal Of Switch Online SNES Classic

I love the newsletter. One of my favorite to check out each month.
Re: Talking Point: The 3DS Library Is Ripe For Switch 2, But Is NSO The Way To Go?

A boy can dream.
Re: Be Warned, Two NES Titles From Limited Run Games May Damage Your Console

Re: Nintendo Is Discontinuing Gold Points, One Of The Switch's Best Incentives
Bring back Nintendo selects, and I can call it even.
Re: Best Wario Games Of All Time
I also love Warioland for giving us King Knights Quest in Shovel Knight Treasure Trove. Easily the most replayable of the 4. The card game isn't my favorite but the gameplay is to die for. I'm sure everyone here's probably played it. But it's worth mentioning in case there's an unknowing soul.
Re: Best Wario Games Of All Time
I've only played 4. I got some back log coming my way.
Re: Can You Name These Zelda: Majora's Mask Masks?
That was a fun one! Only missed 2.
Re: Poll: 10 Years On, Which Version Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Best?
@JohnnyMind i think you said that well!
Ocarina of time, Everytime 3DS. But Majora's Mask, I have gone back to the OG but it's really only for the bosses and the mask transformations.
I'll probably replay Majora's 3D soon and refine my opinion.
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
@NeonPizza so this is all new to me, does that mean that the resolution is better? Upscaled using the meta quest? Or is it just a better experience that you can share with others since it projects to a screen?
Re: Rumour: Kirby: Planet Robobot Will Indeed Come To Switch, It's Claimed
@NeonPizza agreed 3DS is one of my favorite systems but the resolution was pretty poor, so seeing it on a bigger screen is cooler, and being able to share the experience is great too but super lame losing the 3D effect. I am a full blast 3D slider kinda guy.
Re: Nintendo President Reiterates Switch Online Will "Continue To Be Available" For Switch 2
I think the only people that don't like NSO are the early adopters who saw it in all it's not glory.
Now I think it's outstanding, a real steal, I've been able to try plenty of games I wouldn't have bought on virtual console.
Re: Opinion: Miiverse Was Fine, But Does Anybody Really Want It Back In 2025?
