i don't get all the hype with this guy at all, he was a fairly standard fairly famous (but hardly cultural icon status) pop star and of course it is terribly sad when any one dies but i can't help thinking this is all a little over the top. Is he really much missed by many people outside his friends and family? Or is it just people saying what they think they should? Again terrible when anyone dies but I don't remember him being that big of an influence on people's lives while alive bar a few ok pop songs. Maybe it has all gone over my head and he was a modern day Elvis or something!
Fantasy Life will remain a one off hidden gem of gaming then! Such a shame, pretty much the reason I bought my wife a Switch hoping for more level 5 games. That said Snack World was a big disappointment and I wonder if the company had started to lose it's way.
also keep in mind a guy born in 93 wrote this review, I get why that generation would not get this, if you were born in the eighties or earlier you may appreciate it a lot more.
Guys we are all just imagining the drift, trick of the eye or something when our characters start wandering around on their own in game.
Bought two Switches at launch, may just be an early model issue but both left joy cons were quickly replaced with the Hori D-Pad ones and not had any issues since
Love their brands as much as the next fanboy but let's not pretend Nintendo gives and F about us, it's all dollaz.
@GrailUK not Goldeneye or Banjo level but still a good game, have you tried the improved controls in Rare Replay? Really enjoyed it with the new controls.
I really do not understand why Nintendo don’t do this. Do they not like money? BotW amiibo sells for 2 to 3 times the original purchase price on EBay in the UK, the demand is there. The popular amiibo all sells well above rrp too, why would you not take advantage of that?
Banjo-Kazooie will always hold a special place in my heart. What a phenomenal 3D platformer that was. Up there with Legend of Zelda as my favourite gaming series and that says a lot!
Also enjoy DK64 a lot even though it gets a lot of stick.
Goldeneye was just class, really captured the feeling of the franchise like nobody expected.
Really loved Rare as a company they had some great personalities working for them and their charm really comes across in interviews. Reading about them in gaming mags was such a pleasure and it was so sad when Microsoft bought Rare, always felt like the wrong move for the company (although I guess not for the owners as they got a massive payday!)
Sad to see what Rare has become, I think they would have made some great games on the GameCube, Donkey Kong Racing looked like it had so much potential and imagine a proper Banjo Threeie!
@sanderev take it you work for lego? it's a piece of rubbish let's just be honest here. you will look at it a couple of times and go 'that's nice' and that's about it. it's not worth it at all.
@Jakiboy don't blame NL Nintendo has no news! also, the days games journos were able to get the inside track with investigations into Ninty are sadly long gone.

@Silly_G speak for yourself! Something rather beautiful about those colours and lower definition in games to me

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Well the camera is an issue in 64, big time. I'm a massive Nintendo fan but I still can't believe people defend not fixing it on here!
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Will Launch With A Day-One Update
Got to be a camera update on 64, love the game but some platforming bits are so much harder when you can't see the angles!
Re: Random: Nintendo's Latest Switch Update Blocked Some Inappropriate Nicknames
@hotgamer77 so what?
Re: Random: Nintendo's Latest Switch Update Blocked Some Inappropriate Nicknames
It’s pathetic to ban the word Covid. Absolutely pathetic, how does it protect children in any way shape or form? Just nonsense.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Has Reportedly Leaked Onto The Internet Already
So they haven't improved the controls in any way?
Re: Nintendo Reveals Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, A New Zelda Set 100 Years Before Breath Of The Wild

Any chance of a Zelda set? Would insta buy that!
Re: Immortals: Fenyx Rising Launches This December, According To Microsoft

Re: Super Mario 3D World On Switch Appears To Be A Lot Faster Than The Wii U Original
Probably the only game I will pick up from the direct (other than the free online games).
Perfect game to introduce my son to gaming on I think, plus my wife can join in if she wants to!

Re: Image & Form's New Game Is "Permanently Exclusive" To Xbox And Windows
@OorWullie yeah good point, still a shame though that they don't back themselves to sell. still I do get why they are doing it.
Re: Image & Form's New Game Is "Permanently Exclusive" To Xbox And Windows
I get it but this won’t sell well on Xbox and kind of devalues their indie routes. I’d be surprised if their biggest sales were not on Nintendo.

Re: The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System Is Now Available For Purchase
@sanderev take it you work for lego? it's a piece of rubbish let's just be honest here. you will look at it a couple of times and go 'that's nice' and that's about it. it's not worth it at all.
Re: The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System Is Now Available For Purchase
are lego sets the new Nintendo switch 'games' we are all craving?
this just seems so unnecessary, it literally does nothing!
do people just have so much space in their homes that they can put rubbish like this in it?

Re: Poll: No, Really, What Was Nintendo's Worst Year?
Anyone who doesn’t think 2020 is a poor year so far is delusional in my opinion. The key is so far, still some left to push it up a few places.
