@DwaynesGames Yeah. When they do go for an original game, the feedback from people who gave this a go will help make that title potentially even better.
Bad move. There have been times when I was split between the eshop or Steam version of a game during a sale on both platforms. "Well, I can get some gold out of it" was often the decision maker.
Mostly hyped about Ryoma & Koji becoming playable pilots. Might try the arena. Maybe the wait time is less than the team battles since you don't need a full lobby?
Used to know a guy that had a pair of these. One for play, one kept sealed for a rainy day. Would lose his mind when I easily removed it from a table with a Dark Vaporeon.
Yeah, was hoping you'd unlock exclusive ones with game purchases. Would be a cool way to show off characters from those lesser known games (Penguin Wars anyone?) too.
@lovesushi I like both, but if multiplayer is your thing, you might want to lean toward Gundam Breaker 4. While Megaton Musashi has PvE & PvP, finding players even with cross play is near impossible. Things may get even worse with Gundam on the scene now.
@RupeeClock Yeah, you definitely want to dedicate the time for the original. I stopped & went back years later & have no idea how the heck I got as far as I did.
Struggled to the point where I quit playing it again.
Tri will always be my favorite for the memories. Used to meet up with a group of hunters every week to play online. There was a message board thread that said what guild hall # to meet at, so you could trickle in whenever that night for hours.
Gundam Breaker 4- Game play looks kinda generic, but as a gunpla fan I'm sold more on the diorama mode. Then again, with no online features mentioned, who the heck can I show my builds off to? Tempted by that Tryon 3 face, but going to have to wait for the reviews.
@rotekps_aniger Think I made it to stage 2 or 3. Been meaning to give it another go when I saw the Contra code being used for it on youtube. It's a bit more tricky than how it was used in the original game, but extra lives ftw.

@DwaynesGames Yeah. When they do go for an original game, the feedback from people who gave this a go will help make that title potentially even better.
Re: PSA: This Is Your Last Chance To Grab The Awesome Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo'
Anyone know if the online leaderboards & events will still be supported? I used to give those a go every now & then.
Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Getting A Switch 2 Before The Price Goes Up?
Don't have the money to burn on a new console now, can't see me having it then.
Besides, Kirby Air Riders & Star Fox are the only 2 exclusives that have caught my eye anyway.
Re: Mechs And Turn-Based RPG Combat Collide In 'Starbites' On Switch 1 & 2 This May
Huh. Getting Robotrek vibes
Re: Feature: "We Were Quite Nervous" - Star Trek: Voyager - Across The Unknown Dev Talks Returning Actors, Music & Fan Feedback
Can't raid other species? Aw man. Still. Curious in seeing alternate possibilities involving the Equinox.
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch Online GameCube Controller - The Return Of The King
I guess because I'm more of a D-pad guy, I'll never get the lasting appeal of this thing.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
Wasn't in love with it but using the joy-cons that way had me longing for someone to make a Virtual On type gaming using a similar control method.
Re: Uh Oh, Switch 2's Home Screen Looks Just As Bland As We Feared
Eh. Maybe they'll sell themes for Platinum points later.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
If the cloud saving works back & forth between Switch 1 & 2 may keep 2 docked & take 1 on the go more often.
Re: Nintendo Is Discontinuing Gold Points, One Of The Switch's Best Incentives
Bad move. There have been times when I was split between the eshop or Steam version of a game during a sale on both platforms. "Well, I can get some gold out of it" was often the decision maker.
Re: Japanese Charts: What Successor? Switch Hardware Sales Top 100,000
@rjejr Guessing it's us mainly docked players still buying the original.
Re: Capcom Intends To Continue "Re-Activating Dormant IPs"
Gotcha Force & Slammasters revivals for me.
Re: Level-5's Mech RPG 'Megaton Musashi W: Wired' Lands Online PvP Mode In Upcoming Update
Mostly hyped about Ryoma & Koji becoming playable pilots. Might try the arena. Maybe the wait time is less than the team battles since you don't need a full lobby?
Re: Riviera: The Promised Land Remaster Gets Western Release Date On Switch
@Smeddy Aw man. I did worse in Knights than I did in Riveria. Even trying to get through the tutorials was brutal.
Yet both deserve more praise than what they got over here. High marks for gameplay originality.
Re: Random: Stolen Pokémon Card Worth £30,000 Is Returned To Its Trainer
Used to know a guy that had a pair of these. One for play, one kept sealed for a rainy day. Would lose his mind when I easily removed it from a table with a Dark Vaporeon.
Re: Zelda's Got Nothing On Divine Dynamo Flamefrit's Grass-Cutting Mechanic
@Teksetter Yeah. At least the eshop version is already on sale for 10% off if you want to settle for it.
Re: Zelda's Got Nothing On Divine Dynamo Flamefrit's Grass-Cutting Mechanic
Here's hoping for an option to switch back to the Japanese voices.
Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
If we get a Kirby Air Ride remake or sequel, I'm all for a direct.
Re: Soapbox: Switch Really Needs Third-Party Profile Icons - Here Are Our Top Picks
Yeah, was hoping you'd unlock exclusive ones with game purchases. Would be a cool way to show off characters from those lesser known games (Penguin Wars anyone?) too.
Re: Review: Gundam Breaker 4 (Switch) - A Return To Form That Focuses On The Series' Strengths

Re: Stylish Hack 'N' Slash Title 'Tails Of Iron 2' Locks In A Release Window
Never played the first, but kind of looks like a world where the Skaven from Warhammer are the good guys. Kill-slay!
Re: Hands On: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed - A Fresh Coat Of Paint For A Once-Flawed Platformer
@Not_Soos Was more of a Donald Duck fan as a kid, but Mickey and the Beanstalk was a fav of mine.
Re: Nintendo Life's Switch Summer Survey 2024
@Szcz1989 The more I hear about people doing this the more I wonder if I'm missing out on something.
Re: The House Of The Dead 2: Remake Has Been Rated For Switch
Only ever played Overkill on Wii. One of the few games that made me not regret buying that Nyko Perfect Shot.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night's Final Content Update Is Out Now
@hel105 As a late player of both of Shantae & Shovel Knight, thanks.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night's Final Content Update Is Out Now
Never did finish this game. Looks neat though.
Re: Feature: 20 Great Gaming Accounts You Should Follow On Bluesky
@Natsura Hmm yeah. Maybe the instance has mine fediblocked. When I search for it, I don't see the latest posts.
Re: Feature: 20 Great Gaming Accounts You Should Follow On Bluesky
@Natsura Really? Cool.
Hmm just looked it up & it hasn't posted anything since May.
Re: Feature: 20 Great Gaming Accounts You Should Follow On Bluesky
@Automated_Unit_4937 Funny enough, recently came across GoNintendo's news posting bot on Mastodon.
Re: Nintendo Discontinuing 'X' Integration On Switch Next Month
@TheRazzBerry Yeah, not really. The few times I wanted to share screenshots, I uploaded that way out of laziness.
I think you can still move pics & clips from the Switch to your pc via USB, right?
Re: Review: Megaton Musashi W: Wired (Switch) - Good Old-Fashioned Mech-Battling Fun
Looks pretty good to me.
Not a fan of paying full physical price for a digital game.... But on the other hand, I can wishlist for now.
If the wait for Gundam Breaker 4 doesn't get to me first, I can hold out for a sale.
Re: Best Underwater Levels On Nintendo Switch
Was expecting Dolphin Shoals from MK8 to make the list. Just for the music change, if anything.
Re: Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;Birth Trilogy Launches On Switch In 2024
Tried & found myself losing interest.
Stuck with Action Unleashed a bit more though 'cause hack n' slash.
Re: Inti Creates Announces Gold Collection, Three Games On One Physical Switch Cart
@Twilite9 That's odd. I had got mine.
But seeing as the last few levels were DLC, you're probably better off with this version anyway.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons 'Isabelle' First 4 Figures Statue Announced
@Anti-Matter There's a Kicks amiibo out there? I don't even have AC & I kinda want that just because of how cute he looks.
Re: Fan-Made Nintendo Network Replacement 'Pretendo' No Longer Requires Hacked Wii U
@Yosher Yeah, as much as I like this news, I'm getting Letterbomb flashbacks.
Re: Soapbox: Vanillaware's Most Underrated Game Is More Than Just A Pretty Picture
The disc is still in my WiiU. Never did finish Momohime's story. Last boss is ugh.
Re: Review: Freedom Planet 2 (Switch) - A Sonic-Style Platformer Exuding Passion & Quality
@RupeeClock Yeah, you definitely want to dedicate the time for the original. I stopped & went back years later & have no idea how the heck I got as far as I did.
Struggled to the point where I quit playing it again.
Re: New Peach-Themed Mario Kart Switch Controller Glows In The Dark
Would excuse the last of motions controls & HD rumble for $30ish. Would be a nice controller for the occasional guest player.
Re: Dreamcast Shooter 'Rainbow Cotton' Is Getting A Remake On Switch
@YoshiTails Yeah, that video kind of has me thinking about wish listing the older two games instead.
Re: Best Monster Hunter Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
Tri will always be my favorite for the memories. Used to meet up with a group of hunters every week to play online. There was a message board thread that said what guild hall # to meet at, so you could trickle in whenever that night for hours.
Re: Switch Emulator Yuzu To Pay $2.4 Million To Nintendo & Cease Development
@Ham-n-jam This.
Had never got around to trying Citra, but MH4U with a controller was legit the only reason I wanted to.
Re: Switch Online's Mobile App No Longer Compatible With Older OS
Used to report squid parties & whatnot in my Splatoon 2 matches.
Aside from that, I used it once when some kid added a few random players he came across in MK8 & wanted to use the voice chat.
Had upgraded phones since then & now that 2-factor verification whatever thing keeps the app locked.
Re: Nintendo Direct February 2024: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
Gundam Breaker 4- Game play looks kinda generic, but as a gunpla fan I'm sold more on the diorama mode. Then again, with no online features mentioned, who the heck can I show my builds off to? Tempted by that Tryon 3 face, but going to have to wait for the reviews.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU could be neat too.
Re: Princess Peach: Showtime! Trailer Reveals Ninja Peach And Cowgirl Peach
Is it bad that I'm mostly hyped for the Peach NSO icons that will come from this?
Re: Freedom Planet 2 Locks In An April Release Date On Switch
@RetroGamer5491 I haven't played it in so long I forgot where I got stuck at. Need to get back at this myself.
Re: Talking Point: Which Feature From Each Smash Bros. Game Should Make A Return?
Something Else. I miss Wii remote/nunchuk controls. Was hoping dual Joy Cons would bring back shake smash.
Re: New Star GP's Retro Racing Speeds Onto Switch This March
This trailer reminds me... I haven't played Hotshot Racing in forever. Wonder how the two stack up against each other.
Re: "Fans Have Waited Many Years For A Return To Form" - WayForward On Contra's Grand Revival
@rotekps_aniger Think I made it to stage 2 or 3. Been meaning to give it another go when I saw the Contra code being used for it on youtube. It's a bit more tricky than how it was used in the original game, but extra lives ftw.
Re: Super Bomberman R 2 Gets New Character 'Luca Bright Bomber' In Latest Update
He needs to shout "Die pig, die!" when he uses his sword.
