I'm sorry, it just should not have launched. Please, nobody buy it. This would never have happened even back in the Wii U days, so don't let these developers perform the rip-off tactics they've done for the other formats on a Nintendo system.
To be honest, PES has had a couple of 3DS games and that's it as far as Nintendo is concerned for the past few years. Needs a replacement as FIFA's challenger.
I like the idea of featured titles at the very top - these will likely be the first party physical games more often then not.
Then below, it's best of the eShop exclusives. A list of the top-selling here, then a square titled "What do you mean, you've never played..." with a game highlighted every week.
Then, a link to all eShop exclusive games.
Next, the Virtual Console section, if that ever games, with sections separated by console.
Then, a Publishers' section - the publishers listed with an image of one of their games to draw you in, and then a list of all the games they've produced when clicking on it.
Also, when you make a purchase, there should be a "you bought this? We think you'll love this", highlighting a lesser-known indie game. That way we're constantly keeping the indie games at the forefront.
@Anti-Matter In no way did the PS1 have a better games library than the N64. Super Mario 64, GoldenEye, the two Zelda games, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, WWF No Mercy... there's not a single PS1 game that's better than any of those.
Got my pre-order sorted. No mistakes this time - I only recently got Callie and Marie, which were the last pre-orders I missed. They were the last ones I needed for the full set...
@Stocksy Confirmed on Nintendo UK's official account.
This is wonderful news for Nintendo fans, who for so long have been left out in the cold by EA. Now we need FIFA 19, with online multiplayer with friends.
Wanted to see Kimishima stay on for longer. But Shibata moving on is for the best. Need someone who knows the European, and particularly UK, market. For too many years Nintendo languished behind here under him.
Retail version already in existence in some countries... lucky I didn't pick much of the eShop stuff early given that quite a lot of it is appearing in physical now..
@JayJ It’s not about waiting til it hit Nintendo - it’s that, now it has emerged on Nintendo, Nintendo fans (and there’s a lot who only buy Nintendo systems) have their chance with it for the first time.
@JayJ Except this game wasn't on Nintendo in 2014. Nintendo fans haven't played it. Not everyone owns every console. If you've played it already, that's great. But no need to begrudge Nintendo fans who are experiencing it for the first time and catching up.
Good luck Tom. The Nintendo Life writers have developed that same affinity we used to love from the Nintendo magazines. Long may it continue with Nintendo Life, Switch Player and Nintendo Force at the forefront.
@CorvoRevo Bearing in mind you’re on a Nintendo exclusive site and this game has never been on Nintendo before, I’d say this is the likeliest place to find people like myself who haven’t played it before...
@Octane I’m missing out on absolutely nothing. I have no desire whatsoever to play anything on a PlayStation or an Xbox. That’s why I come to Nintendo Life over IGN.

Re: Fortnite v5.20 Brings New Weapon, Steady Storm Mode And Resolution Upgrade On Switch
@BouncingHat Because it's got one of the biggest player bases on Switch right now.
Re: "The Virtual Console successor is Nintendo Switch Online" Says Reggie
Rubbish. Nobody wants to rent games, it's not the nineties any more.
Re: Cross-Platform Play For FIFA Is A Possibility, Lots Of First-Party "Issues" To Work Through
Being able to play FIFA online with Switch friends would be a start
Re: Here's How Voice Chat Works In Fortnite On Nintendo Switch
Need an officially licensed Switch headset now.

Re: FIFA's Rival Pro Evolution Soccer Takes Another Hit With Loss Of Dortmund License
To be honest, PES has had a couple of 3DS games and that's it as far as Nintendo is concerned for the past few years. Needs a replacement as FIFA's challenger.
Re: Bigley's Revenge Has Been Removed From the eShop
It never did return...
Re: Here's How A Nindie Developer Thinks The Switch eShop Could Be Improved
The Wii U eShop overall interface was great.

Re: Soapbox: Why A Nintendo 64 Classic Edition Might Not Be Such A Good Idea
@Anti-Matter In no way did the PS1 have a better games library than the N64. Super Mario 64, GoldenEye, the two Zelda games, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, WWF No Mercy... there's not a single PS1 game that's better than any of those.
Re: Limited Run's Doing A Saturday Morning RPG Collector's Edition You Won't Want To Miss
It's a mega edition, but my wallet can't keep up. Gone for all four of their collector's editions already...
Re: Deals: This Splatoon 2 amiibo Pre-order Is Totally Off The Hook
They're still available to pre-order... what is going on?!
Re: Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong And Super Mario Maker On 3DS Join The European 'Selects' Range
Damn, just when I thought my New 2DS XL console collection was complete...
Re: Deals: This Splatoon 2 amiibo Pre-order Is Totally Off The Hook

This is wonderful news for Nintendo fans, who for so long have been left out in the cold by EA. Now we need FIFA 19, with online multiplayer with friends.
Re: Sly Spy Infiltrating Switch eShop Next Week
Where the hell is the James Bond license?! Get onto acquiring it, Nintendo...
Re: Shuntaro Furukawa Is Nintendo's New President
Wanted to see Kimishima stay on for longer. But Shibata moving on is for the best. Need someone who knows the European, and particularly UK, market. For too many years Nintendo languished behind here under him.
Re: Guide: Pokémon GO Shinies List And How To Catch All Shiny Pokémon
Only had 20 mins out of work to do Community Day on Sunday but still managed one shiny Mareep.
Got plenty of Bulbasaur the previous day and a Shiny Magikarp on the last few mins of the very first shiny event.
Luckiest one I’ve had though was my Shiny Togepi hatch, not seen many of them about...
Re: Rumour: FIFA 18 To Get New World Cup Mode As A Digital Add-On
I’ll take it, but would prefer a new separate game like in the glory days. I want to be able to play against friends online first and foremost!
Re: Pokémon GO's Field Research Mechanic Lets You Catch Legendaries Outside Of Raid Battles
Since missions only began last Friday evening, how do people know what seven day streaks are already?
Re: Penny-Punching Princess Won't Be Getting A Physical Release In The UK After All
The limited edition is still coming though, from what I make of it.
Re: Here's The Top 50 Switch Games, As Voted For By Your Good Selves
Just the well-known ones making it towards the top then. No Sexy Brutale, Piczle Lines DX.
Re: Nintendo Has Filed A Mysterious Patent For Amiibo-Style NFC Cards
My bet would be a new Smash range but in card form. Less manufacturing costs on figures and can be sold in blind packs.
Re: Visual Novel Song Of Memories Is Getting A Special 'Encore Edition' In The West
At this rate there'll be more Switch games with a collector's edition than without. So hard to keep up.
Re: Rhythm-Action Wonder VOEZ Will Go Physical In Time For The Summer
Retail version already in existence in some countries... lucky I didn't pick much of the eShop stuff early given that quite a lot of it is appearing in physical now..
Re: Portal Knights Gets A Retail Release In North America, Plus Chinese New Year Content
It's out physically in the UK/Europe as well as of last week
Re: Video: A Speedrunner Has Completed Super Mario World In Under A Minute
Hacked to the max. Wasn't even worth the minute I spent watching it.
Re: R.B.I. Baseball 18 Will Aim For The Bleachers On Switch This March
@cyrus_zuo Did you get it on Switch? How do you hit the ball?!
Re: R.B.I. Baseball 18 Will Aim For The Bleachers On Switch This March
@Noonch Not even sarcastically was it a great game..
Re: Pokémon GO Is Dropping Support For Older iPhones
@Razer I got my phone last January. I haven’t got unlimited money to upgrade my phone every year.
Re: Pokémon GO Is Dropping Support For Older iPhones
Not happy with this. I use an SE so I’ve just made it through, but I have no plans to upgrade any time soon...
Re: Review: Pic-a-Pix Deluxe (Switch eShop)
Unacceptable. Picross games must attain a minimum of 9/10 automatically...
Re: Nintendo Scores Big In The 2017 EDGE Magazine Awards
Nintendo get three of the top 5 including 1 and 2. Love it. But Splatoon 2 should have joined them.
Re: Nintendo Boasts Of Continued Third Party Support For Switch
Hope so much that we get all of the above. There'd be no need to buy anything other than the Switch.
Re: Feature: Memorable Games of 2017 - Party Golf
Loved this. It’s nothing like Golf Story other than having Golf in the title.
Re: Switch Hackers Declare That Homebrew Launcher Will Be Available 'Soon'
Don’t give them the promotion. I’ve never supported a hacker and never will.
Re: Review: Max: The Curse of Brotherhood (Switch eShop)
@JayJ It’s not about waiting til it hit Nintendo - it’s that, now it has emerged on Nintendo, Nintendo fans (and there’s a lot who only buy Nintendo systems) have their chance with it for the first time.
Re: Review: Max: The Curse of Brotherhood (Switch eShop)
@JayJ Except this game wasn't on Nintendo in 2014. Nintendo fans haven't played it. Not everyone owns every console. If you've played it already, that's great. But no need to begrudge Nintendo fans who are experiencing it for the first time and catching up.
Re: Feature: nDreams Talks About Reanimating Bloody Zombies for a Festive Switch Release
Still awaiting that ZombiU sequel...
Re: Site News: A Fond Farewell from Nintendo Life Editor, Thomas Whitehead
Good luck Tom. The Nintendo Life writers have developed that same affinity we used to love from the Nintendo magazines. Long may it continue with Nintendo Life, Switch Player and Nintendo Force at the forefront.
Re: The Sexy Brutale Will Bring Mystery to the Switch Next Week
Reviewed this one for Switch Player - I loved it. A few slowdown issues but can't find fault with anything else.
Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your 2017 Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards
Where are the two best Switch eShop games, Piczle Lines DX and Party Golf?
Re: Plan The Ultimate Portable Heist As Payday 2 Steals A February Release Date
Can't wait for this. Wish they'd done a double-set including the first game though to introduce Nintendo fans to the series.
Re: Review: WWE 2K18 (Switch)
How has it managed a 3? How bad did it need to be to get a one?!
Re: FIFA 18 Nets A Sizeable Update On Switch
Where the hell is online with friends! That was the absolute most important update they needed!
Also, half the goalkeepers don't wear gloves, what's that all about...
Re: Poll: Have Your Say on the Best Main Series 3D Mario and Zelda Games
@RainbowGazelle Dear me.
Re: Poll: Have Your Say on the Best Main Series 3D Mario and Zelda Games
@BlueOcean Breath of the Wild, the weakest? No.
Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
@Aaron09 with thousands of Nintendo games to catch up on, I’m not going to be missing out on anything elsewhere...

Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
I don't care what's happened on other platforms, I'm a Nintendo only gamer.
