Nice, I've been waiting for this.

Glad to see MK1 there.

@Fulgor_Astral I guess that it might be boring for some considering that Nintendo can be quite creative, but I prefer that they stick to a great design unless there's an actual way to innovate and not just some kind of gimmick. Hopefully, the specs will make the upgrade worth it.

@JohnnyMind I suppose that people aren't used to a positive, active user. It's a rare ocurrence on the internet. Keep up the good energy, mate.

@Magician Remember that we have a meeting with our overlords next Saturday, Tenno. Long live the Chinese Republic!

@The_Blue_Mage Live service wasn't a terrible choice, it's just something that has a stigma to it. People aren't even aware that the stuff that makes them praise something like Warframe so much (constant new story content, weapons and Warframes) happens just because it's a live service game. It's true that sometimes it's handled badly and that Warner can be quite greedy, but the truth is that it had potential to be the biggest Arkham game to date and people simply killed it with the reception before it even had a proper chance. After that, there was no way that they would stick with the game and it was a shame.

@Buizel Because people like to parrot. As a fan of the Arkham games, I can say that it's a good game that had a lot of potential to be even better because it was clearly designed to grow in content. They simply abandoned it because they saw people's negative reaction because "live service bad" and YouTubers had a trend of crapping on it. At least I had fun playing with some people online. It was awesome to work together and personalize your character more.

Even now, just look at the comments section with people asking "why?" as if no one else could be interested because they aren't and as if there's no possiblity of more sales. Many of them didn't even play the game that they assure "sucks".

I was not able to click with Stardew Valley, but it's undeniable that it oozes passion, creativity and hard work. Congratulations to the creator and everyone involved.

I think that part of Wind Waker's charm is it's art style, so unless it's an animated film it already lost a huge part of it's essence. Also, the game already does a perfect job at telling it's story, which is the reason why I see doing movies from games completely unnecessary. It might be a way to tell the story for the people that haven't played it, but then again the target audience is the people that did play it and others don't care. Usually, they do poor adaptations that perpetuates the bad reputation of these movies and give the wrong idea about games and the cycle continues over and over.

At best, they are serviceable like the Sonic movies. Which again, are considerably inferior to actually experience the stories through the games.

I loved Pizza Tower, however it's more of a mix between Warioland and Sonic for those that are looking to choose a successor to the Wario games. Personally, that's what made it special for me as it was more unique and the animations are fantastic and full of detail. It also ran perfectly on Switch. Antonblast on the other hand, looks more like classic Wario so I guess it's a safer bet. It's also fun, but personally Pizza Tower is my preferred one and one of the big surprises on Switch this year.

I hope that the leaks are true and it stays pretty similar if not exactly the same as the Switch in terms of design. I simply want a stronger console. That's pretty much it.

Huh, so this is actually real. I thought that I just had a weird dream.

It's funny that nowadays they show Shadow instead of Sonic in his own games because of his popularity. It's like Megaman and Zero all over again.

Nintendo: "I have to go now, my planet needs me."

Note: Nintendo died on the way back to their home planet.

I'm so glad to finally get a sequel. Now I just need an Okamiden port. Such an underrated gem.

@LadyCharlie Okami is about 30-40 hours long, which is comparable to Legend of Zelda and other similar games. Maybe it's not your type of game, which is a shame because it's world is easily one of my favourite ones. It offers more hours of gameplay, but it's optional things to find an see and without them it will lose a lot of it's charm.

Trailer looks pretty good. I already have a lot of fighting games... but might make space for this one if it delivers.

I'm just waiting for the time of release haha

@cedarhyped That's because most of the time the games that usually keep on receiving support have positive reception, while No Man's Sky was heavily criticized and doomed by a lot of people. Not to mention that while many games receive support I can't think of any that has received the amount of content that game received aside from Warframe. In this case, Minecraft was very successful so it's a very different scenario.

Many good games this year: Megaton Musashi, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Yakuza Kiwami, Gundam Breaker 4, Prince of Persia: Lost Crown, Castlevania DS, Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver Collections, Pizza Tower and more.

I suspect that the monkey is out of the bag

I already pre-ordered Soul Reaver 1 & 2. I'm quite hyped!

@GameOtaku Digital format is considerably cheaper for them as they don't have to spend on cartridges and while putting it on physical does get more sales from people that only get physical, it also divides overall sales between digital and physical as a lot of those people that would have bought the digital version for not having any other option will opt to get a game cartridge now that they do. That's considerably less profit for them because they need to do an investment first, hence why many companies don't do it or "cheat", like when they sell game collections on smaller cartridges that only have enough space for one game to cut costs.

Just to clarify, I'm not in favor of that, I'm just explaining why it's not such a simple decision. Big companies are just being greedy but smaller, less known projects have more justification as their expected sales are much more limited and the physical format is a considerable investment.

That being said, Digital Eclipse isn't a small developer or having financial problems as far as I know so I think that a physical version is practically a sure thing and that they are just expecting to see initial sales to do an estimate or something.

@GameOtaku Because those kind of decisions aren't just a matter of what they want. They probably want to see how well it does before they decide to invest in the physical format. It really isn't as simple as people think.

Nice, I was waiting for this to grab it! I'll definitely get it in one of the next sales.

I'm not exactly sure how it's "souls-like". I see that word used too frequently nowadays. Looks more like modern diablo games/ Hades to me.

Nothing is as exciting as playing Soul Reaver 1 and 2 again. It's been a long, painful wait but it's almost finally here.

That's ok, but I'll definitely wait too before buying. Just to see that this version performs well.

People simply assumed and set themselves for disappointment. Of course I'd be glad to have them, but if there's no official mention then there's no reason to expect them. Being popular and selling well isn't enough for Nintendo, at least in terms of doing it when everyone is expecting it and honestly it has worked pretty well for the company. I do (low-key) expect them as surprise drops on every direct just as it happened with the first, but I try not to think about them otherwise.

Loved most Inti Creates projects so I'll definitely give this one a chance.

I kinda would have preferred not watching Shadow with a gun again and I'm a bit worried about making Eggman's grandfather too comical but let's see how it goes.

@KY502ShinyHunter @Pigeon Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to describe your experiences on the Switch version. I actually got it on release date, completed it and have been praising it on other articles about it haha, but I really appreciate that you took the time to reply.

It's my favourite mecha game on Switch. The comment talking about endgame difficulty is right though, it's a tough wall. However, it's doable and there's lots of content that is quite accesible. Story was very entertaining. Very recommended.

It has a certain charm to it, hopefully it does well.

@obijuankanoobie Congratulations, it's a very special moment!

Poster looks nice. Love Shadow and the second movie was decent, so I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

It sounds cool, but with the amount of actual Castlevania games available thanks to the collections and collaborations I don't think that I'll be getting it anytime soon.

I give it an I'm too poor right now out of 10. Hopefully I'll play it soon.

I've been playing online since yesterday. It's been really fun! Also, the River City Girls 2 Double Dragon DLC has been released and it's quite good too. Looks like this week will be for beat' em ups and I'm really happy about that.

@drypaphmrbro Yes. First is Arkham Asylum, then City and Knight is the last one.

@Branovices It's understandadable, but to be fair, all Aspyr games that I can think of have good Switch ports since the start, including Battlefront 2. I know that's because I got the Tomb Raider Collection, Battlefront 2 and Bounty Hunter the days they were released. People were repating stuff about Battlefront 2 that were problems in other consoles, but not with Switch. I played both Online and the campaign for many hours and the only thing that happened is that it skipped a video if I remember correctly. Many that didn't even play it assumed that it would be worse on Switch simply because it was a weaker console, but it was actually more stable and polished. Other Switch users that were saying the same and got downvoted (Reddit) because of the whole campaign happening against the game at the moment, but it just wasn't happening on Switch. Servers were quite stable since the start and the first thing that I tried with a friend, with both public and private sessions.

Either way it's wise to wait. I'm dying to play these games again, who knows how much I've been waiting for remasters or remakes haha.

@VoidofLight Personally I do find it charming and I tend to enjoy character/monster collecting RPGs so I might give it a chance someday. Designs don't look that special (they remind me of Monster Rancher) and the story does look like a generic shonen/kodomo so I do see why it might not seem interesting or unique. I'm willing to bet that there's a lot of the "Power of Friendship" trope in there haha. For some reason, all the games that have been made/published my Marvelous and I have tried have ended up being quite engaging to me.

@Rozetta This is probably one of the most nonsensical things that some people repeat without any idea of what they are talking about. Metal Gear games have many cutscenes because of how story oriented they are, but they are full of gameplay. Even Death Stranding, that is focused on traveling, is far from a "walking simulator". Besides, how does it affect you if they are available on the console? If you aren't interested, simply don't play them.

This is a big win!

@anoyonmus Some people don't care about the story that much or see explanations on videos so that they don't have to play every game before the one that they prefer. I'd say that, gameplay-wise, it does seem to be the best entry to start with from what I checked.

@kendomustdie Good to hear that despite of the problems you still consider it solid and also thanks for taking the time to reply!

I have heard that the games have many bugs so I imagine that affects everything, but isn't the enemy AI one of the most popular aspects of these games and considered a positive aspect? Isn't the unpredictability a positive thing? How is it clunky? I would have liked to see more about that as I'm still debating about getting these games and which ones or if I get the whole collection.

Mmm. I think that I got lost on the weird part of Nintendo Life again 🤔

Loved the previous entries, but the trailers of the third one haven't been as impactful and interesting as they were with 1 & 2. I hope that the game is better.

Based on what we've seen of Shadow which is just a few lines, he does fit the character quite well.

I loved Chicken Wiggle, so I might get this eventually.

Wazuuuuuuup 🤪
