Stanley Parable is a fantastic puzzle / story with clever meta-gaming narratives. Very good fun.

Inscryption along with Return to Monkey Island were my personal favourites because of the quality of the narrative, puzzles, and characters.

Really enjoyed Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Bayonetta 3, and already looking forward to the Bayonetta spin off Ceriza and the Stray Demon.

@Damo Yes it does have similar form factors to the Switch and play games, so I can see what you mean about the comparison.

The definition of what lines to use to define Switch competitors depends somewhat on which end users you are thinking about.

For PC gamers, yes the Aya Neo Air can be competition if they had a choice between that and a Switch.

For families with younger kids, people who have limited budgets, or gamers who want an easy user experience, then it still seems the Switch has carved out a niche for itself.

I'm with you in that Nintendo would benefit from more competition, after we have the Switch in part because of the Wii U's failure meant Nintendo had to innovate and take risks.

Overall, I really like Nlife's coverage of new gaming hardware and would like to encourage the teams to keep doing that. So I can appreciate this article in that sense too.

It's not a switch alternative, that's just a clickbait headline. It's one of of many portable gaming devices that have a similar form factor to the switch.

So many questions that seem irrelevant to NintendoLife - would have finished the survey if it related to playing Nintendo games

Bayonetta 3 - it has been a lot more fun than I anticipated. There's so much variety in gameplay and characters in this entry, Platinum did a great job.

Replayability of Platinum games has been an issue, I have no desire to replay the other Bayonetta games or Nier Automata, and I'm a bit concerned Bayo 3 will be the same.

Monkey Island lived up to my personal hopes as a long time fan of the series - for me 9/10. Tunic had great level design but meh story and characters - agree with 8/10 from NL. Two great indie games in one month means it was one of the best months for the Switch this year imo.

These are my favourite Nintendo life articles

Began it last night and is DOES live up to Monkey Island's reputation for very fun puzzles, characters, and dialogue

This is amazing, I offered to get a friend a life sized Pokémon for a present knowing they were just available in Japan as a joke but now I may have to actually buy one!

I bought the digital edition in the UK and love it - nice mix of fun and challenge while adapting the style from Kirby's 2D games

Amazing with even the wiring consistent with the Zelda tree theme

This is amazing! Thinking of trying to make a fireworks display with 10x multishot bows and bomb arrows

Nintendo would do well to create faithful reimaginings of its classic games but it seems it's general approach is to focus on new games even if they aren't as good as classic games

Doubt it's a new model - Nintendo may have production difficulties due to some components not being as available as others so may have a backlog of planned production units it hasn't been able to complete.

Would love to see more ports of Zelda games to Switch

Seriously though, this is incredibly exciting as I'm a huge fan of Okami, Metroid and Hollow Knight. Great the talented AM2R folks are using their talents in a new IP

UK gaming fans who are old enough might chuckle at the thought of this game having a name Craig David would approve of - The Crowd Say Bo Selecta!

Awesome hope Nintendo bring mother 3 to switch one day, love that game so much

Dark Souls Remastered

I love these ads so much! Kirby and the remixed tunes are really fun

Roguelike and 3D open world are both massive changes to the genre of Hyperlight Drifter - would have preferred another 2D Zelda style game instead

Still purchase physical games so I can sell them if I don't want them anymore

The NES batman was one of the first games I played that had wall jumping

This is very inspiring!

@Anti-Matter Swii U, lol

I bought the Prism HDMI adapter and extremely happy with the video and audio quality from my PAL GameCube to my 4K TV. Metroid Prime especially looks fantastic!

I would think Nintendo is reviewing many of its digital services at the moment and may have plans to partner with another company. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo plans to have more online multiplayer events across more if its titles and is looking at the best way to achieve that.

Earthbound and Mother 3

This would be a hit in the US and UK

The "figma" logo looks more like "Agma"

Earthbound + more Kirby details were a highlight. Would have liked more Zelda and Metroid but at least the Dread updates were something

Awesome! The SNES was a great era for gaming and one thing many people miss is the game manuals and guides

Hope there's something more than a piece of art for completing dread mode

Vending machine Kirby sold it for me - definitely going to pick this one up

Metroid Shovel - the sequel to Metroid Dread

Definitely will be Spade Knight - like Shovel Knight except he has different colour armour and his shovel is called a spade.

Boat load of Shovelware

Sequence breaks in metroid dread - have managed to skip Kraid and the experiment boss, would like to practice getting the screw attack early too

A switch lite oled could be another popular revision

I remember Zelda being delayed by a year or more with each major console from the N64 and Ocarina of Time, so won't be surprised if this one is delayed too.

Oracle of Seasons for the Game Boy Color - a Zelda game I haven't played yet so looking forward to the adventure

Awesome and fun article - love this toaster concept for the Wii

Was looking forward to this but with the price increase plus the cost of the dock, shipping, export taxes, and potential wait times I'm not so sure if it's worth it any more.

How about Nintendo Life Awards?

Yeah looks like an android phone with a controller grip

Blasphemous for the first time

Awesome - picked this up at the weekend and really enjoying Blasphemous' atmosphere. Looking forward to the DLC.

Nice to a 2D Metroid metroid game getting the recognition it deserves. Also delighted to see a 2D Zelda style game Deaths Door receiving an award.
