OMG this retro hype needs to stop! This is going too far, developers making an ugly and antiquated game on purpose just to please some retro fanatics is simply wrong.

@Damo Any update on this, is it finally available for regular purchase?
On Kickstarter it seems like backers are still waiting for their units, even though the official post says everything has been shipped over a month ago.

Lol why would you wanna play GTA 3 when you could potentially have GTA 5 running on the Switch?!

Also that's not news, Homebrew always gets games running that are not officially on the platform.

Weird, the first association in my head was Justice League: Gods and Monsters, not some energy drinks.

This is certainly one of the best local multiplayer games on the Switch!

Galaxy 2, no doubt about that. It's still unmatched, every 3D Mario game that came afterwards was just utter crap in comparison.

Gyro of course, don't be silly.

@Terra That was very interesting and insightful, thanks!

Wow, that's quite a lot of shooter veterans (and a generally interesting mix of different game credentials).

@ryancraddock "Next month"? It comes in November, that's over 10 weeks from now.

Hopefully they'll come to Europe too, so far it seems to be limited to North America.

Oh but why did they leave out Galaxy 2? It's the best 3D Mario game ever made imho.

Damn so they've been without a lead producer for more than a half year?
Makes me wonder if the Metroid 4 project has come to a complete halt...

Finally someone is willing to fight this awful company!

"Anoimal Crossing"? @Damo

How on earth is this newsworthy, especially considering the content of it? Do you really want to promote smoking that way? @nintendolife @Liam_Doolan

Hm nah, I'd still rather wait for the Dongii with built in BT audio.

What is there to "get closer"? Just friggin do it!

Also I would love to get ports of ISS Deluxe, ISS64, ISS98 and ISS2000!

Do they not know Wikipedia exists?

@nintendolife You seriously need to find a way to make game titles distinguishable in your headlines, for example by making them italic.
Otherwise nobody knows what you're talking about.

Example:
Feature: I Am Dead Drops On Switch This September, And We Speak To The Devs To Find Out More

What's the title of the game?
I?
I Am?
I Am Dead?
I Am Dead Drops? (my personal favourite)
I Am Dead Drops On?
I Am Dead Drops On Switch?
I Am Dead Drops On Switch This September?
I Am Dead Drops On Switch This September, And We Speak?
I Am Dead Drops On Switch This September, And We Speak To The Devs?
I Am Dead Drops On Switch This September, And We Speak To The Devs To Find Out More?

Also why are all the words in the headline starting with a capital letter? @dartmonkey

I'm calling it, if cloud gaming should really work out as well as Google, MS etc. hope, then the next Nintendo platform will be more like a mix of Wii U and Switch:

You'll have your home console and a portable unit (or your own smart device?).
The portable unit will somewhat resemble the Switch but will actually use cloud gaming.
Maybe the portable unit could also have its own hardware, similar to the switch. But that would cost extra.

@dartmonkey Why is Skyward Sword not in this list? It needs an open-world remake.

Hmm too bad it doesn't show the actual manual, only some pictures.

I think any game that takes inspiration from or even "clones" LoZ games should be praised for it! We need more games like BotW.

Sad to see the journalistic quality on NL drop into amateur territory in recent years.

"Outrageously fast racing" - That applies to any racing game, it's part of the genre! What a generic and meaningless point.
"The price is a car crash" - one of the worst puns I've ever read. Also since when is the price part of the score?
"Lacking in modern 'quality of life' features" - well yeah, it's an old game, what did you expect?
"Handheld mode is really blurry" - yeah, that's to be expected, it's handheld mode!

🙄

Hm while the similarities are definitely there, this one just looks really weird. The graphics are really incoherent, like they took pieces from different games with different art styles and threw them together randomly.

@GrailUK Lol if there's anything you can count on, it's EA letting you down. Don't get your hopes up.

You don't say!
Thanks for informing us about this fact that no one could've ever have known otherwise.

Yet again, NintendoLife breaking the "news" to us. 🙄
Probably the best in the whole worldwide web in stating the obvious...

That would be really great!

Nice! I was hoping they'd do that too.

Ok but how can I try out the other 47 games?

The should rename the trial to 4 Worldwide Games lol.

@RyanCraddock The Instagram source could not be found.

That's awesome!

A few reasonable and a lot of ridiculous suggestions.

Super Mario 3D World - lol no thanks
Pikmin 3 - yes
Xenoblade Chronicles X - YES!
Star Fox Zero - only if the Switch finally gets dual screen support
NES Remix Pack - lol no thanks
Paper Mario: Color Splash - sure why not
Yoshi's Woolly World - sure why not
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD - absolutely NOT!
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD - absolutely NOT!
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival - lol no
ZombiU - only if the Switch finally gets dual screen support
Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water - lol what?!
Sonic Lost World - sure why not
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - yet another port? ok fine, but only with gyro aim
Watch Dogs - I'd rather get a port of the upcoming WD, or at least WD2
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - no?
Devil's Third - lol you must be joking

Again, Nintendolife "breaking the news" here. Quality journalism...

If stating the obvious counts as news, I can't wait for the next NL article about how the sky is blue etc.

Well that's too bad, without gyro aim I have no reason to buy it on the Switch.

"More recently, was the 'jump' to Splatoon 2 from the original game enough to warrant its existence?"

Seriously?! Splatoon 2 is so different from the first game, which makes this question utterly ridiculous.

Anyway... Galaxy 2 was what Galaxy 1 should've been from the start.
Galaxy 2 raised the difficulty on a proper level (Galaxy 1 was too easy), it added the green bonus stars, which were even more difficult to find, and most importantly, it expanded on the 1.5-player co-op concept in a way that made it a sensible addition.

Playing Galaxy 1 in co-op was absolutely boring and superflous, but playing Galaxy 2 in co-op was absolutely necessary and delightful.

I will always regard Galaxy 2 as the true Mario Galaxy game, whereas Galaxy 1 is more like a failed prototype.

"The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt turned five-years-old today"

Nope, it doesn't sound strange to say at all. The game is five years old.

I was afraid this interesting project had died with Iwata, but glad to hear it's still alive!

Oh wow, I wasn't aware the stylus goes into the headphone jack and is more pressure-sensitive that way. That's ingenious!

I was already planning on getting it, even though I thought it was just a regular stylus for capacitive touchscreens. 😂

"may well be best suited for young, aspiring pianists rather than already-accomplished musicians."

You don't say!

Nintendolife breaking the news here.
Top quality journalism...

Who cares, there's only one that really matters and that's BotW2.

A what?

No thanks. Why would I wanna play crappy mobile games instead of playing on my Switch and PC?

And don't follow Apple's example, their products suck.

I don't even understand why this so-called "analyst" Michael Pachter guy is still getting a platform on Nintendolife. He's been wrong so many times, nobody should listen to his nonsense.

Well obviously we need an open-world remake or at least a remaster of Skyward Sword.
And then definitely a remaster of XCX and F-Zero GX.

I absolutely agree, and that for many years now. It is an area where the Switch and even the Wii U have been lacking a lot.
It would certainly enrich and diversify the Switch's library.
But Nintendo just don't seem interested in making these games because they're no systemsellers...

"Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Review-Bombing Is Only Getting Worse" and @Nintendolife is giving them extra attention to make it even worse.

The quote in the article is absolutely right.
And I've been wondering at times if the ACNH team put some of those things in there with some irony, as if they wanted to point out or express certain things that are going wrong in the real world. And I'm pretty sure here and there they did.
But all of that doesn't take anything away from the game - if anything, it adds to it and makes it even better.

Oh how original... as if no one ever suggested that before. 🙄

Seriously, I don't understand why @Nintendolife keeps giving these so-called "analysts" and "experts" a platform for their nonsense.

"the same team that achieved the impossible, when it released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition on the Switch"

I'm getting really tired of Nintendo Life repeating this this untruth.
Nothing about porting Witcher 3 (or other games) is or was impossible.

I've been following this game for a while and I really hope they'll add motion controls to the Switch version!

@Kalmaro Why would it be profanity? 'Bastard' just means a child whose parents were not married when it was born.
