Has there ever been a useful update? The Switch will end its life looking exactly the way it did when it was born. Kind of like hoping for the power to control icon spacing on the iPad screen... it’s asking for too much I guess

No matter what I do, eshop videos have problems most of the time, is everyone seeing that too? I never have these issues with any other device

Forget 4K and keep it 1080 HD, use the increased power for a better frame rate and 3D rendering. Try to push it to 4K and we will still be stuck with lower frame rates, etc because going to 4K will use up any additional power the Pro will have

How about a real Kid Icarus game? A platformer! I don’t consider Uprising a Kid Icarus game!

I’d get it but it’s overpriced

I wish people would stop wanting 4K, the Switch Pro is most likely not going to be powerful enough to give us a great frame rate with 4K, I’d rather have them use any extra power in the pro to improve frame rate and overall performance rather than driving 4K of pixels and having to make cuts elsewhere in the game

When I saw the title “solve space mysteries...” I thought you were going to say the expansion takes up an unusual amount of space

I like the screenshots, the trailer is disappointing

Reading about the time limit kills it for me

Everyone complained about the character being stiff and not jumping far, if you give it just five minutes you find a rabbit... that can JUMP FAR!

Don’t expect a Mario game here! It’s not my kind of game but it’s not bad. People who like Banjo Kazooie would probably like it...

Still no demo today in the USA shop?!

I think I’m just going to skip this news from now on, the descriptions are useless most of the time, it’s easy to make a bad game sound good and I tend to skip over good games thinking it’s just more shovelware and then I see it on the shop and am like, wow, how did I miss that? Some screenshots would be nice, there are too many releases to have to investigate each one

Much better than them going to EA!

I think the best system released in 2020 is the Evercade, I play that as much as I do my Switch

All your base are belong to us

Seriously? That is the least of the problems with the interface, we need more icons on the screen, Nintendo is acting like Apple

I wish they’d update it so you don’t have to use joycons when playing 2 player

seems like wasted space, could have a larger screen

It's just Nintendo preparing for a Switch Pro

Super 3D Noah’s Ark

@RR529 I'm in the US and have been a fan for decades, in the US, we had several NES Dizzy games and one on Sega Genesis (probably the best one to date). The NES games were unlicensed but were sold at many stores. They seem to be well known here from the people I know, you missed out on some great games.

Best news ever!!!

SNES Uncharted Waters: New Horizons

Still overpriced, should be $19.99 each at the most

way to short for a video game, I beat it and already forgot about it the day it came out.

Many games will be forever lost, try to play those thousands of 32 bit iPad games now that Apple dropped support for 32 bit... I lost over 200 games then. It’s a sad future for consoles

Fallout 76 is a disaster, they may have just purchased a company on its way out... remember when they bought Rare?

Why would they go with 4K? Not everyone has a 4K TV, it takes more than that for Nintendo to do it. Most people had HD TV when the Wii came out but yet it was not HD

I think Nintendo's next release should come with a blank label

It would be nice if the updates could update the cartridges. In the future when Switch downloads are unavailable, we will be left with tons of buggy or broken games. I bought Spongebob on day one and then the Switch downloaded a completely new updated copy of the game, ridiculous.

@Anguspuss Yeah, I refuse to play on a TV with a HDMI cable stretched across the room, it should have supported wireless controllers

It's been so long since I played it that I don't remember much about either

Wires? in 2020?

@TYRANACLES they are about the only company out there that make controllers with the same level of quality that Nintendo does

@daebiya yes, i like retro graphics but the default settings make it look like bad N64 game, the smaller pixel setting looks much better!

Fun but definitely not a 10, i’d knock of a couple points just based on poor camera control

Finally a Switch game that would benefit from motion controls because swinging a golf club would work! no sensor bar needed for that! umm... no motion controls?!?! that kills it for me! pass!

So that’s what they are busy working on instead of shipping real items? I’ve been trying to purchase something for months from Ikea, no shipping is available to my state and store pickups are never available because they are backed up... Covid has make IKEA useless

I read that you swing by moving the analog stick... seriously? All the games out so far that have included lame motion controls and now there is a game that would actually benefit from motion controls and they don’t include them? Lame

@X68000 no, that was reported in the 90s... but you can read details in other places on why the SNES CPU processed faster. “This means the Sega could handle around 900,000 instructions per second, maximum. The SNES could compute around 1.7 Million instructions per second, despite it’s lower clock speed.”

I have a Genesis, I don’t have a real SNES anymore, just the mini, so o do appreciate Genesis games but let’s be real here. SNES games are always better than the Genesis versions

Genesis had a memory bottleneck, back when Sega was claiming “blast processing”, Nintendo paid a third party company to do testing and the SNES processed information 88% faster regardless of the Genesis CPU

@zool a Switch is a Switch, dockable or not. Do you think that other companies would count them separately? When Apple mentions the total sales of the iPhone 8 they are counting the Pro models also. It’s a Switch if it plays Switch games, it’s as simple as that. It doesn’t matter what is or what isn’t attached to it

@zool what??? The Switch has outsold the NES. You are the one playing with numbers. The Gameboy came out years later, near the end of The NES... and besides, it doesn’t make any sense to bring up Gameboy, we are talking about the NES right? should we include Genesis too?

You call it politics? I am overwhelmed with the illogic in your entire post!

Hard to vote when we don’t see screenshots here

Not good enough, games like Burnout Paradise can run 60 FPS with an entire city being rendered around you, there is no excuse for poor performance in this game

All the ports left me with a Wii U console sitting there just for Skylanders... I doubt they will ever port those due to all the physical character requirements

Burgertime is a classic but I only need a dozen or so copies of it. These other games... I don't even know what to think after reading the descriptions on some of them... definitely not classics in the making

I come across many games by accident on the eshop that are great but I completely ignored them when I read the release news on NintendoLife because the text description sucked, it would help if we could have screenshots along with the weekly release news.

Without screenshots we are left with crap descriptions like this one from last week - “you are shooting your path to find the exit and move on to the next level. Lots of monsters and nasty bosses make your work difficult.” - pretty much describes most of the games made in the past 30 years.

Another port of a game I already have, why not a Pikmin 4? I’m tired of them releasing Wii U games!

Sometimes I’m in the mood for having fun rather than being stressed out. There are a lot of games out there that will put you through a ton of frustration, some games feel more like work than fun. I have nothing to prove to anyone. If you like being stressed out then go for it, I’d rather have fun
