Hm I'd rather have a full chess game that comes with chess challenges, like chess.com (browser and mobile app).

Some of the assets remind me of Art of Balance. But doesn't seem to be the same studio?

That's obviously the Rainmaker from Splatoon/Splatoon2.
Yet another instance of the Fortnite devs copying Splatoon weapons (like the baller).

@Damo The game's called 'Cadence of Hyrule', not 'Cadance of Hyrule'.

I totally agree, the Switch eshop is super sluggish and a UX nightmare.
The Wii U eshop was waaaaay easier to navigate in comparison, which says a lot.

But then again, the Switch's main UI is also terrible, whereas the Wii U's home menu offered folders and customization.

It's weird how Nintendo made so many steps backwards with the Switch (others would be: lack of Miiverse/message system, browser and video apps).

They could easily just take a page out of the UI's and online shops for smartphones, or just build something similar to what the Wii U had, or come up with something new and really good like the article suggests.

Just end this nightmare already, the Switch's UI is a desaster.

Ooooh now this looks like something I'd like!

@ryancraddock
Um, you do know that the d-pad on the Pro Controller has a flaw (misfires in the wrong direction - especially noticeable in BotW - there are tons of videos about it) that Nintendo fixed in all special edition Pro Controllers?
This is probably just the same fix for the regular Pro Controller.
And it was long overdue.

So strange that the title says 10th October even though most of the (exciting) games in that article won't be out on that date yet (and this time it was obvious, everyone knows OW and Witcher 3 come out mid October and yet Tracer is on the article thumbnail).
NL keeps doing this again and again.

#clickbait

I don't get what y'all are obsessing about...

These two changes - removal of the Joycon instruction on Switch Lite and removal of the colour effect on Switch - might actually be related, so maybe it was in fact an accident that they removed the former.

Well what did you expect @Nintendolife, it was painfully obvious from the start (FIFA 2018) that EA didn't really care and wouldn't put too much effort or ressources (aka money) into the Switch version.
It's EA after all. Don't expect anything else than a quick cash grab for maximum profit from them.

@ryancraddock 'We've only seen a stylus for Switch appear once before'

You kidding me? Any capacitive stylus works on Switch, so technically we've seen styluses for the Switch appear for about a decade already.

Ok but what does that have to do with chess?!

Lol why not GTA V (or even IV at least)?
It ran fine on Xbox 360, so I should run well on Switch, no?

Whaaaaaaaaat?!
But it doesn't say 'Nintendo Switch' on the card and it doesn't cost a fortune!
I thought NL only promoted overpriced microSD cards with a Switch branding on them!
How on earth is NL gonna survive now if they promote these cheaper cards and get smaller fees from their affiliate links?!
Quick, everyone go buy those super expensive microSD cards from previous advertisement articles to save NL!

This is not specific to fighting games, this was common in old games in general. Mario Kart would be a prime example.

Luckily, game design evolved a lot since then, CPU enemies don't need to cheat anymore nowadays, they are just better designed.

Honestly, I don't understand how this hasn't been ported to Switch yet.
It's a no-brainer, just like Overwatch. I don't know why it took Blizzard so long to port that either.

In other breaking news: videogames won't be moving away from requiring controllers any time soon.

This is awesome!

The second poll question is missing the point though; it's obviously both.

There's also the Smach Z...

Htf would they even consider 30fps as 'running smoothly' for such a fast-paced game?!

SquidKids are shoes from Splatoon, not Back Bling.

That 'slip' on the Nintendo website could've just been an intentional move to divert from those Tracer rumours (to then announce OW for Switch and Tracer for Smash, of course).

Awesome! I had tons of fun with the great mechanics this game offers.
The way you can use your leash and chain together combos is really unique... I wish more games would copy it.

Now I’m just wondering if the Switch version has motion controls or not. If it does, I’d buy it again.

Idk what you're talking about, my Switch is pretty safe, sitting in its dock.

Huh, you don't say!
Welcome to 2019, person who wrote that report and has been asleep for the last few years apparently.

Aww too bad, I was hoping for motion controls to be added.
Maybe in a future update?
I mean with all the sword fighting, the bow & arrow as well as spell casting this would be an amazing addition.

I'm glad this is coming to the Switch but without motion controls I'd rather stick to the PC version where I can aim with the mouse at least...

Are we talking about the same video? The Switch barely features in those 3:24 minutes.
NL blowing things up again to justify another clickbait article I suppose...

@nintendolife @ryancraddock

Are you guys being serious right now?
That kind of device has been around for a long time... this is nothing new.
And I'm not even talking about Genki (which is heavily overpriced and totally unnecessary too).

I'm talking about this device: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H2RH5CJ/

I got it about a year ago and it's perfect. No noticeable latency, works in handheld, tabletop (on my Hori Playstand), docked or even on my PC/laptop.
I'm sure there are lots of other devices just like it.

The device shown in this article is waaaaay too huge in comparison.

Yes, can we please let this old and ugly handheld console die already.

Unsurprisingly.
They should just stop selling physical to force everyone to go 100% digital.

@nintendolie While I totally agree with you on the decrease in build quality - and I said from day one that the Joycons are a really cheap product and it was confirmed by tech-savvy Youtubers long before any talk of Joycon drift - it won't really hurt Nintendo's sales numbers. Their customers are mostly not tech-savvy, most have probably never heard of Joycon drift. It's still sell like hot cakes even though it's a cheap product. It's basically Apple's strategy - sell s****y products with huge profits.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...body cares.

Duh, if they copied them it would be a video game and not a Netflix show.

Great, what a useless glitch.

With Mario Maker 2 this suddenly becomes a very viable option. If it just wasn't so expensive!
Trying to find a way to do this myself.

Huh? From the very first trailer it was pretty obvious that this will be one of the best games of the generation, if not ever.
We didn't need E3 to know that, although what they showed there was even more awesome. ^^

Stop trying too hard to see connections where there aren't any, just to justify publishing another clickbait-y article.

Seriously? How low is NintendoLife gonna steep?
The subheadline is so click-baity!
It mentions cross-save, only to say at the very end of the article that there will be no cross-save!
Well then why even mention a feature that is NOT in there?!

I don't see why it would need more performance.
GTA V (to take a title of similar scope) ran on the Xbox 360, and we all know the Wii U was already slightly more powerful than that, and the Switch is even more.
It's just a matter of optimization and how scalable the games was originally designed.

Not that it will look good on the Switch, but I guess the Switch's audience doesn't really care about that.

Awesome!
Got it on PC and liked it, but never really got into it properly. Maybe this time...

Lol, these have been known for a long time and Youtube is actually full of a lot more...

@holygeez03 This is not Mario Kart 9.

I was really excited about this controller when I first read about it, but quickly lost interest when I learned that it's a wired controller. 🤦‍♂️
What the heck would I need a wired controller for? This is not 1999!

Guess I'll be staying with my Pro Controller and BT adapter for now... until someone combines those two devices into one.

It's obviously just random, yet NintendoLife have to make an article out of nothing.

The Cuccos didn't take the Molduga down though...

@JLPick The most obvious option would be Rare Replay though in my opinion... and maybe they could even make a new Perfect Dark one day? Who knows.

@dartmonkey Youtube supports links with timestamps. You could've just put that directly into the article instead of having readers skip to 2:00 manually.

Here, let me fix that for you: https://youtu.be/xDhxfUBrMko?t=120

This is awesome, why would they pull the game from eshop?!

@NintendoLife
This is the same procedure as for any region, so the title is misleading. It has nothing to do with Japan.
It's also nothing new, this 'method' has been around forever.
