Damn, it's so hard this year.

Hades 2, DK Bananza, Expedition 33 and Death Stranding 2 are ALL my GOTY this year. 😭

They look very fresh, elf-like and suit the personality of the characters.

Good job, Nintendo or whoever casted them.

I was still a kid when I started reading Nintendo Life. How time flies.

Despite liking Pokemon, I still can't believe TotK sold less than the 2 Pokemon games.

Switch 2 updates and the collabs!

OMGG I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of content that we are getting.

I was going to get digital until I read that the game is 43GB. So, physical.

@parkerdeal @Robot99 Switch 2 version runs better. You can look up the review of the Switch 2 version here, it gets 8/10.

@Rentaro Thanks for the confirmation! ❤️

@Jarodlaraus Appreciate it. I'm getting mixed info everywhere

For those who own the English version, does it have Japanese voice in the end?

And people were complaining about Switch 2 is expensive 😒

I'm definitely coming back to get this game after I'm done with Hades 2.

Too many amazing games and too little time.

Still Hades 2.
Man, this game is just freaking amazing, especially on Switch 2. On top of everything, it's 120fps docked and looks fantastic in handheld.

Got Hades 2 over Silksong as it's challenging yet beginners friendly due to the God Mode.

@Simu001 They have nothing to do with Nintendo but the developers/publishers that made the games.

Nintendo can only be responsible for updating their own games.

This is the next game that I'll get after I'm done with Hades 2.

Tencent again? Uh, nope.

Congrats! This game is definitely in my top 5 life sim/farming games of all time.

They're finally back after all these years.

I'm so glad they decided to ditch the ridiculous color palettes in Engage. This looks SO much better and like a real FE game.

Love the soundtrack in the trailer too.

@nessisonett I know how you feel.
I was still in school when I first started reading NLife and middle age is waving at me not that far ahead.

I don't know/care about the size of the library but great games, like Bananza alone, is what I bought the console for.

Together with 2 of the best cozy games in recent years, Fantasy Life i and Story of Seasons Grand Bazaar, I'm super happy with it.

@kmtrain83 Interestingly, Rune Factory started off as the spin-off of this series when it was still called Harvest Moon.

So yes, I find it hard to picture you not liking this game unless you absolutely need a game to have combat system. There's no combat in SoS games.

So happy to see another great cozy game after Fantasy Life i.

This is my favorite chill RPG after Animal Crossing. Love how the devs keep updating it.

@_747_ It is!

10/10. I went from "eh...another racing game?" to "I need to play this game now" in the first half of the Direct.

Sakurai Masahiro is a genius.

I'm surprised to find out that Metaphor Refantazio is not on Switch already. This games feels like it's made for Switch lol.

@Mana_Knight The stressed and sad adults realized Nintendo games actually calm their souls. 😂

Jokes aside, it's not surprising at all. Kids' access to gaming is entirely controlled by parents. Anyone who knows a little about East Asian culture would know that gaming is still seen as a lesser hobby than let's say, playing musical instrument or sports.

@Koda1000 Why? Have you seen competitive Pokemon championship? There's 0 female in the teams.

I was not interested in the game at all but the Direct totally changed my mind. It looks hella fun and I can't wait for Thursday!

@Dev-N We are all getting old when time starts to pass by so quickly... :/

@N00BiSH While we won't know what would he do if he was around, I don't think Nintendo is heading down the wrong path given the circumstances nowadays. It was a very different world back then when Iwata was still around...

If the console and games are good, people will still buy it regardless of the price.

No one who's buying a game console will be counting that extra $100 or $200 to pay mortgage or get evicted. LOL.

@Sequel Absolutely. I have it on console and PC too but Switch is the best.

Also, cutscenes can be skipped on Switch.

@Chibi_Manny This is a spinoff and it's not produced by Hideki Kamiya.

Really can't wait for this game. The Patapon series is one of my favorite game series.

The answers of the last 2 questions make me smile.

I see 55% people are not being truthful about their toilet use...

So few people picked Monster Hunter Wilds?

The last question... LOL. Never.

@B_Lindz Same! It just looks soooo charming, fun and adorable.

I'm not a collector of physical games and I've already got a digital PS5, so I can see myself getting a digital Switch too.

But I also see why many people won't get digital-only console.

Wait... what? Isn't Kamiya = PlatinumGames?

@Mauzuri Hard disagree at saying Xbox is a better system this gen but you are entitled to your opinion.

In terms of exclusivity, it really depends on what type of games the person likes to play. But Xbox's exclusives have been flop after flop among critics till Starfield.

@Neph It's the original developer of Patapon who's behind it.

@MrCookieCrisps the Kickstarter is from the original developer of Patapon.

I first saw the announcement on PS and was thinking that this is a perfect game for Switch. SO glad to see it's happening!

"the FTC has been attempting to argue the Switch is "very different" to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 - suggesting it's not really part of the same market by comparing its technical capabilities, with lines about its frame rate and how it compares in terms of GPU teraflops."

I think the FTC is right in this case though. Stop using click-baiting headlines please.

Damn, I want the baby pink one.

Why did Pokemon Scarlet jump 12 spots?

I've been sleeping like 4 hours a night because of TotK. :/ I'm hoping to catch up on more sleep this weekend.

@DaniPooo I have a hunch that it's because she sounds as if she's on the brink of tears every time she opens her mouth.

I like how her voice sounds but it's a little too melodramatic.

@Browny Freudian slip!

@blockfight So do I.
