The actual peripheral in plastic with stand sucks hard imo. Glasses don't fit without scratching the plastic look-through and it's just a collecting item. Why did they not put a non-schratch layer on those tiny windows? We all know: creating waste. I am the biggest Nintendo fan of all time. But this is trash to me. Very disappointed.
"Fortunately, CDPR is in a festive mood, and if you did manage to purchase either of these games at the discounted prices, you'll be able to keep them."
@Moroboshi876 as far as I understand, they want to make you pay another 60 Euros regardless if you have a previous version. In Germany, at least. Assssssss..... (to use AVGN formulation)
@Moroboshi876 Is this a scam? I Just did that and ended up with the switch 1 anniversary edition. The switch 2 version would set me back 60 €. Plus: i had the dlc already. I just wasted 10 bucks for nothing
@Liam Dolan: can you bring light to that matter, pls?
@Pillowpants "New Zealand, not surprising! I'm really looking forward to this movie, but I'm still surprised they went for live action, instead of animated. I prefer the latter, but I guess I'm just highly sceptical on everything that tries to go from animated to live action."
It could work.... If Dennis Hopper would still be with us, it would be a guaranteed success.
@Uncle_Franklin once it's done, you'll get the first copy signed by hand. Seriously: I'm looking out for your counting on every BAB article since years. Thank you for that!
@Duck_Farmer understandable. But as a little tip: take your five to ten hours in the beginning to find the magic yourself. I recommend to read the manual of the old titles.
I just bought an official controller from the big N and S to try these games I missed out on... I must say: Sega was really not as good as Nintendo. At least playing these games. I hope, I will get a hang. Still holding up
@Anti-Matter "I still feel sour with both Mario Galaxy games as both of them applied strict assignments by keep reverting your multiple Mario lives back to 4 no matter how many lives I have farm before and I don't like that gimmick."
This is completely right. They did not fix this issue. If you can replay easy levels over and over there is no fun of having "Lifes". It just slows you down on the progress. They should have make it at least optional to pile them up while saving the game or count the numbers you die or get rid of this outdated mechanic at all. I think this is quiet annoying as well.
@jfp yes. You can change audio language in the settings of the clip a bit like turning subtitles on/off. I had it with AVGN a few weeks ago the first time with the title song being german all in a sudden. It sounded really creepy 😂

Re: Best Mario Tennis Games Of All Time
Well it's Tennis in the end. They all kinda suck. They all are fun in multiplayer.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
@shinaramusha Creating an account to comment and vote in polls was a mistake. I forgot how unpleasant the comment sections are on Nintendo Life.
What do you mean?
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
@shinaramusha true.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
To be fair: wearing glasses and got a big nose. But the quest fits. This hurts.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Games?
I would like to rate the gimmick regarding face fit. Abysmal.

Re: After Multiple Delays, Cult Hit 'Caves Of Qud' Is Finally Hitting Switch This Month
Waiting for your review. It looks interesting. I just wonder if I would play it longer than one evening...
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Mario Tennis Fever
The last outing was meh. So I'll wait for NL's review on this.
Re: ICYMI: Paper Mario-Styled RPG 'Escape From Ever After' Has Launched On Switch
The art style of the characters looks cheap and soulless to me. I'll give it a pass.
Re: Nintendo's 'My Mario' Toy Line Adds Three Fisher-Price Playsets
@Misima so why did you start playing Videogames? Because you were encouraged to?
Re: Video: It's Time To Say Goodbye To The Lovely Felix-From-Nintendo-Life
Thanks for all the fun and interesting stuff, Felix! All the best to you!
And a big hug to Alex. I know how it feels to lose a beloved colleague and two in that short of time must be hard.
A cheerful and healthy 2026 to everyone!

Yeah..right. they would not be able to , anyway.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
For me, several issues got fixed today. But the other several issues still give me a headache...
I'll fix them after Christmas. Have a nice and calm one, everyone!
Re: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@AG_Awesome it's a feature.
Re: 'Nitrome Classics' Range Announced For Switch, First Game Arrives In Early 2026
@Oppyz666 yes. So it's this automated AI YouTube crab. It should be forbidden, to activate it by default.
I once heard the AVGN introduction song in German. Sung by AI. Still gives me the shivers....
Re: 'Nitrome Classics' Range Announced For Switch, First Game Arrives In Early 2026
Why are there German sound effects in Skywire? Sounds super weird...
Re: Mario Kart World Has Been Updated To Version 1.4.1, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Jason_Feiner once the peeps get out of bed and go to work it will happen, I'm sure. They're based in England, you know?

Re: Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Samus Returns In Prime Form
Woooohooooo! Going to ask Santa for it!
Edit: Playtime sounds a tad short, though. I don't remember, but Prime 1 and 2 took longer for me to finish, I think.
Re: Review: iMP Gaming Mini Arcade Pro - Turns Your Switch (Or Switch 2) Into A Bartop Cabinet

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (25th October)
@Duck_Farmer understandable. But as a little tip: take your five to ten hours in the beginning to find the magic yourself. I recommend to read the manual of the old titles.
Enjoy!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (25th October)
@Duck_Farmer interesting way to play The Legend of Zelda. Didn't even know it is possible. Are you using a guide? Happy gaming!

Re: Nintendo's "Mysterious" Switch Online Playtest Program Gets Another Patent
@WhiteUmbrella the parents should not be given out. The system is flawed. Not Nintendo. They have to play the game like all the others.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Game Ranked

Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?

I already have the Wii version for both games and they are not pleasant to play."
Blasphemy...

Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
@B_Lindz true. But the original Controller should be included and the games should be on a cartridge. Just ask 30 more for it...
Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
@Alienfanatic but no second d-pad. Why not provide the original feel?
Re: ICYMI: If You Want To Play Virtual Boy Classics, You'll Need To Buy One Of Nintendo's Accessories
I'm in for the hardware. But a cartridge should be included. This NOS stuff is really annoying.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Operation C / Probotector (Game Boy)
@Uncle_Franklin just zen it out. Big fan of your score-tracking, here. Picked the scorpion, btw 😉
Re: Nintendo Highlights Super Mario's Game History In 40th Anniversary Timeline

Re: Review: Bubsy In: The Purrfect Collection (Switch) - Limited Run Cleans Out The Kitty Litter
Why four points? Reads more like a two. Should get a two. Just for not crashing. I hate Bubsy. Did hate it back then, hate it now.
