If the first PS3 models had been designed better, the backwards compatible models would be my favorite console of all time. Online was free, access to entertainment apps, the controller was a step up from the PS2, full hardware compatibility with both previous PlayStation generations, and the new games on the system were excellent as well.
Or you know be thankful for the things you already have instead of getting wrapped up in commercialism because a shiny new gadget is 10 dollars off before tax.
@Lordplops What a relief!!! I barely got any sleep last night from worrying that you had been duped into buying something that you didn't want. Better luck next time, NAUGHTY NINTENDO!! May they never get away with the heinous crime of offering different models of their consoles again!
@eltomo Yes, this is a direct sequel to Persona 5. Takes place the summer after the events of 5, though in the case of Royal I'm not sure if that extra content is going to have any impact on this game.
@alasdair91 I hope you aren't bashed too much. As great as the game looks, I too question its 60 dollar value since its so short and since I have no interest in the multiplayer.
@JR150 My comment had NOTHING to do with preferring one console over another one. I love my Switch, but only for games that either benefit from being portable or games that I can’t play anywhere else. These systems can all coexist, so my question remains as to why someone would buy a not so successful port of a game like this when there are better and even cheaper options to choose from if they (likely) already have more than one system.
I have to wonder who the market is for clearly inferior ports of games like this. They’re always going to release at a much later time to much lower sales with much lower performance. You can’t honestly make me believe that people are playing these kind of games at a competitive level with a pair of Joycons or tilting their Lite around like a mad man to use motion controls. This really is nothing more than a novelty, so people can say that they’ve played Overwatch while sitting on their toilet like it’s some grand accomplishment in their lives.
They’re one step away from having the entire game available to play at your local WalMart. Do they not want people to buy and play the game themselves at this point?
Hoo boy, the ignorant people are in full force this morning. Gaming addiction is real, people. Take some time to look in the mirror and you might find an example right in front of you 😉
I've enjoyed the somewhat secretive marketing of New Horzions thus far. I feel like they're intentionally holding back a lot of info to surprise fans with later on, which is a nice change of pace to the at times exhaustive coverage other games get where there are no secrets left to discover upon release. We may get an info dump closer to release, but as of now there are a lot of unanswered questions and I love it.
I do not enjoy Metroidvanias, and unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the little bit I played of this either. Which is a shame, because the story and art style looks amazing.
Why dock points for micro transactions? They’re a scummy practice, sure. But it’s easy enough to play the game without having to buy anything. Many people act like they are being forced to buy gold passes and items and such, when all it really takes is a minuscule amount of self control to avoid them.
But then again, I see countless people on here bragging about buying a new Switch game on release day even though they have 50+ untouched games on their system, so maybe self control isn’t plentiful in the gaming community.
Come on, NintendoLife. If users are able to guess your scoring and bullet points before the review is even out, you need to work on your predictability and bias.

Pull the game from the store shelves and online marketplaces.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Pick Up On Black Friday And Cyber Monday?
Absolutely nothing. Deals were all around scarce this year

There really is no doubt that Smash is a labor of love. The medium as a whole benefits from having a game like this.
Re: Random: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Apparently Bricking Switch Consoles, Depending On Who You Listen To

Re: Random: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Ending Has A Pretty Embarrassing Mistake

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Kart Racing Games
@playoldgames Crash Team Racing is an excellent game. It's single player content is an excellent companion to Mario Kart.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Sword And Shield Are Out Today, Which Version Are You Getting?
I will not be purchasing either version, and I feel the need to let NintendoLife know about it.
Re: Review: Pokémon Sword And Shield - A Solid Start To Gen 8 On Switch, Despite The Hate
Lol the biggest surprise is that this didn't get a 9/10, which is the NintendoLife default score for any major release by the big N.

Kind of baffling that someone who isn't very iconic would be a paid fighter, but whatever floats their boat.

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2018
Mediocre year for Switch for sure. Glad this year has shaped up better, and if we can get Animal Crossing and BOTW 2 next year it will be even better.

Re: Feature: Nintendo's 130th Birthday Comes During A Golden Age For The Company
The Switch is an excellent concept with an excellent library. To me, I haven't seen such a diverse range of games on a system since the PS2 days.
With that being said, PLEASE fix the online/rewards program.
