@Damo Your article contains two errors. One in the headline and one in the second sentence.

His name is Robotnik, not Robonik.

@dartmonkey I haven't tried it out myself, but your article seems a bit too subjective to me.
Everyone knows that every person reacts differently to VR. The same situation - especially one where the technology is lacking - can be sickness-inducing for one person and completely fine for the other.

Ignoring the latter - and it's actually more like a spectrum of possible experiences - gives the article a very one-sided perspective.
I for example never experienced any issues like that in VR, not even on the wildest games that made others nauseous, like a rollercoaster-like game on the technically lacklustre Oculus DK1. I'm fairly certain I could stomach BotW in VR without any problems as well.
But I would never go and claim that my experience applies to everyone like you did in your article.
So calling Labo VR a 'nausea-inducing failure' without taking all the possible perspectives into account is really poorly executed journalism.

@nessisonett I assume you're either joking or Astro Bot is literally the only VR game you ever played. 😆
There are tons of better VR games out there... especially on proper VR platforms like Oculus and Steam.

Why would they do that?! 😧

@Liam_Doolan

There's a minor mistake in this sentence:

"Other than this amiibo, Reggie received a t-shirt from the 2007 Game Developers Conference featuring a picture of himself, Miyamoto and Iwata on it in amiibo form."

It's actually showing them in Mii form, not in amiibo form.

Haha, now all you physical-only people must feel really stupid. 😆
Digital-only is the only the way to go, the only way that is sustainable long-term and the way of the future.
Stop buying those nonsensical physical releases already!

New Nintendo Life article is out, still mostly useless.

Seriously, thanks for that non-information.

@RyanCraddock This is basically a clone of Mad Machines.

It's always this "right now".

But I hope the devs make Rage 2 scalable enough like Doom and Wolfenstein so that it works on the Switch.

@erv There is no new Switch model. Don't believe all the BS that people try to spread online.

If it has motion controls I'd actual buy this amazing game again!

@brambalk Actually, Sony's not really trying that. PSVR is more like a demo or entry point to VR.
If you want proper VR right now, you have to do it on PC.

Seriously, @ryancraddock, the first thing that comes to your mind to compare to is Jurassic Park?!
Not the Baller from Splatoon, where Epic obviously copied it from?

Looks pretty boring to me, tbh.

Wait what?! Boxboy is from HAL?
Always looked like a cheap indie game to me...

Like Google Cardboard and the VR experience on Smartphones? Yeah that could work.

Pikmin's Wooly World.

Awesome, finally! I've been waiting for this for a looong time!

Since I haven't played anything in the series since the first game, this might actually be worth a shot.
Although the graphics look like I'd be better off buying it on PC. But then again, I'd probably never play it. ^^

OMG this looks amazing! Instabuy!

Cool, gives me even more to play whenever I pick it back up again.

I like asymmetric game modes, but the previous reviews + the fact that it's not my genre will probably mean I'll skip this.

If the price is right, I'll buy it. I really like car racing games and that's definitely something the Switch is lacking.

Wow this looks amazing!

Oooh gotta get that Ken amiibo!

@DockEllisD OlliOlli has actually been on Wii U, PS4 etc. for a long time.

Uhm, have you actually ever played any OlliOlli game? They're totally skateboarding games. The closest to the Tony Hawk series, maybe even better.

That sounds so awful, I'd give this game a 1/10.

Pretty unimpressive.
I've seen tons of better shirts on qwertee, spreadshirt, redbubble, teepublic etc.

Sounds great but I don't like top-down.

Fortnite is long past being just a video game, it's a industry-trancending phenomenon. Of course it's the most played title!

I'm glad to see that Splatoon 2 is so high up that list.

So basically, nothing happened and he can just continue doing what he's been doing?
Nintendo are sometimes really strange.

A CEO losing his temper like that in public should usually be enough to get fired.

Finally!
Now I can play random matches on PC with my Switch friends.
But why did I have to wait for Sony to get on board? Was that the only reason for the numerous delays?

Well Diablo III is already on the Switch, so I wouldn't expect any other development in that regard.
But Heartstone - which is already on Android and iOS - would be an obvious and easy port.
Whereas Overwatch would be more elaborate port, but would absolutely make sense audience-wise. You can bet it would sell like how cakes on the Switch.

So I think these two titles could or rather should make their way to the Switch. But I don't think the Bungie separation has any effect on it.

While it's nice this process exists, it doesn't help most people who actually have to get a new Switch (because their old one was defective or got stolen).
Barely anyone is going to buy a new Switch if they still have their old one.
Only people who can't access their old system will buy a new one.
They should've considered this and offered a solution where you only have to log in to your profile on the new Switch and download everything from there.

Yay! I'll definitely buy this, had a lot of fun with it on Wii U!

Lol why is there so much useless/superfluous accessory for the Switch?

I don't want to migrate, I want to merge accounts. Why the separation?

Downloaded the game when it came out on Switch and played for a bit, but also have it on Steam.
I prefer the Switch version because of gyro aim and have never played it on PC, but might at some point since a friend of mine plays it a lot on Steam.

What's the point of transferring your profile if you want to play on both platforms?

I'm pretty sure you can find a new Wii U for a lot less than that, depending on where you live and where you look. So this article is pretty arbitrary.

Wow, an indie platformer that is 3D and good looking? That's really rare nowadays.

I think I'll buy this just to reward the developers for not being as lazy as their colleagues...

Wow, now that's a nice idea!

Yes to all of that!

The real scandal though is the fact that >200 people were stupid enough to pay for something that is available for free. 😆

Nope, sorry, I agree with most of the other suggestions in the article, but OoT (if not all of the mentioned N64 games) definitely has to be a remake!
Ideally with a remake of Majora's Mask in tow, while they're at it.

Nice to see that Affordable Space Adventures gets some well-deserved attention. It's truly one of the best, most unique and most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had.

It's really sad to see such a gem of gaming history rot away pretty much unnoticed by most gamers.
And it all could've been avoided if Nintendo would just let the Switch utilize its second screen!

Anyway, if we're taking about the ports:
Super Mario Maker, yes please! This game needs to be on the Switch ASAP!
Pikmin would also be a nice addition, unless they're already working on Pikmin 4 of course.
But WWHD & TPHD again? No thank you, there's no need for that. If they're going to do another remaster, it's gotta be SSHD anyway.

Oh come on now, we all know it's coming to Switch (I'm not even interested in this game). Just as everyone knew Fortnite was coming months before it's 'surprise' release.
Usually rumours are just baseless rumours that no one should believe in unless there's an official confirmation. But in some (rare) cases, it's just too obvious that this is part of their marketing strategy.
If you give people a few breadcrumbs (like that P5 character in Smash and now this IP adress thing), excitement builds up and spreads in the community by itself. That's just the best kind of marketing with zero costs.

@MrGawain Exclusives don't always stay exclusive for ever, see Rayman Legends, Yakuza 0, GTA V etc.
Also (from Atlus' standpoint, not mine): who cares what Sony or their hardcore fans think?
I don't Atlus gives a damn if they can sell millions of copies on the Switch. And tbh I don't think Sony would mind either. It's not like a late Switch release would take anything away from their PS4 sales.

Yet another mobile game?
I'm not sure that goes down well with Switch gamers.

Um, could this article be even more arbitrary?
There are three versions of the PS4.
So I guess the author thought to themself 'Which two of those can I combine so that they have less sales combined than the Switch alone'.
Which makes the whole thing pointless.

Nothing against PM's good work, but it's telling when the Switch's "most important third party developer" is only known for ports.
Because that's still the biggest issue the Switch has. A lack of originality (outside of some Nintendo titles).

Finally!
I just hope other services like DC Universe will follow suit, although I'm aware that's probably wishful thinking for now.

@VR32X I strongly disagree. Reading comics digitally is way more comfortable. Scrolling through a whole comic without having to ever turn a page is a blessing.
Besides, printing on actual paper is unecological.

I used to read comics on paper as a child and I still have some printed issues, but generally that's just an outdated way to read comics.

Who cares?!
It's not a 'sad day', it's long overdue.
Print magazines are an irresponsible relic from the last century, it's about time they die for good.

What difference does it make as long as mobile games are just crapware?
Besides, who'd want to play on that tiny smartphone screen anyway?
Unless Sony makes a Playstation phone, I doubt this will ever be successful.

I'm sorry, but after @NintendoLife's incomprehensibly lacklustre review of Starlink (not mentioning its terrible, game-breaking controls, likening it to No Man's Sky, which must be a joke) I can't trust this site's reviews anymore, at least not for space games.

I'm certainly not ready to waste another 40€ just because @NintendoLife can't tell a good space game from a bad one.
