Super Mario 3D World is arguably the greatest Mario game ever so it would be a shame if it didn't get a second chance. Xenoblade X would be nice too. Amused to see Amiibo Festival on the list.
@Expa0 I am glad I am not the only one really disappointed with the game. The bit that gets me is the story; it is just convoluted and bad. I understand that they are trying to broaden the audience (and it has obviously worked) but it just feels like a massive sell-out.
I actually really like the game. It is different from a lot of the other stuff I play and they changed so much from the original beta/demo. Always respect developers that take the feedback and make a much better game because of it. The updates are nice too.
Had a feeling the Wild Area would be the main success. I imagine the next mainline game will have a full focus on a whole game wild area. The game still seems like a lot of fun; regardless of the controversy.
I watched a let's play online of the first couple of hours of the game and it looks like a step up from the 3ds games. It is a good game. Maybe, one day in 10 years time, they might be able to create a multi-region game with all of the pokemon in it, but for now, why not just enjoy this new game for what it is going to be; another solid Pokemon experience with better graphics than ever
Because of the way they announced this originally (trolling people into believing Persona 5 was coming to Switch with Persona 5 S), I wanted this game to look really bad. Unfortunately, it looks really good fun. And, I know I will buy it. Damn.
I am really enjoying this top three and glad to see FE not right at the top as I had feared. Amazing that Phoenix Wright still appears on a list like this (in the top 10!) despite being pretty much the same game it was on the gameboy advance. Quality lasts.
This is a great game. To be fair, it is currently the only mobile game I am playing. It is generous with free content and although probably not as wide-ranging as FE Mobile, the fact that it is a new IP shows that Nintendo is putting a lot into this mobile world (despite the Microtransaction Kart debacle)
I want 11 of these. This is ridiculous. What happened to the good old days (i.e. the start of the year) when there was nothing coming out and my bank account looked healthy...
Unless they come out with a new route that actually has an 'ultimate route', I doubt I will be picking up the game again. The split routes just don't work for me despite the obvious quality the gameplay provides.
So basically, this game is just as great as it was on the ps3/ xbox and when they add the online multiplayer in a patch later on; it is pretty much a must-have for racing-loving switch owners. This was one of my favourite games back on the PS3 so definitely saving up for this one. Great review.
This review is really well written. It had me laughing the whole time. I like anime a lot but the idea of shooting bullets at a women in order to turn them on doesn't appeal much. Even then, bad reviews aren't going to stop the game reaching the niche. Those that are interested have already made their minds up before reading a (well-justified) 3/10. I don't think the guy was saying 'all boobs are bad'; just that this is done so distastefully.
Persona 5 is merely a pipedream now but it would be nice to see Super Mario 3D World come over. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Mario Golf game coming. Heck, I just like watching the directs.
This review read like a higher score. It is wonderful on the PS4 and the developers seem to really care about improving it (I think there has been 5-6 patches since the release). Happy to see the reasonable Switch price as well.
Not a bad score but I must admit, I was hoping the game would have a bit more story depth considering how good it actually looks. Might pick it up eventually but certainly not tomorrow (like I was planning).
It makes me smile. As someone who speaks a little Japanese, I can appreciate the absurdity of the lyrics. But, nice. Fits the tone of the game. Fun and upbeat.
I really wanted to like Mario Maker but after a couple of hours creating a below par course, being trolled 10 times and completing 5-6 of the Nintendo made levels, I decided that the game is not for me. I'll leave it to the young and creative.
@Xelha Just because you don't like the Japanese dub, doesn't mean everyone else hates it. Sure, it would be nice to have an English dub option but it doesn't change the actual gameplay and from a simply a cost point of view, it probably doesn't make much sense. Saying they've ruined the franchise seems a bit harsh.
30fps is fine with me. I have never been able to really tell the difference.... Only when you get a massive drop- which doesn't seem to be the case with this one.
This looks superb... but I don't want to get too excited as I had this same feeling about Little Dragon's Cafe... and that was terrible. So, happy thoughts
3ds is still number 1 in my heart. Massive library- backwards compatibility and a system that is so stable an earthquake couldn't knock it. Difficult list to compile though.

Re: Feature: Prepare To Meet The Light! Where Is Kid Icarus: Uprising On Switch?
Seriously one of the best 3DS games available. I would love more games in the series but I have a feeling it could be a few years away.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th December (Europe)
Ashen appeals but must admit, just waiting for the Christmas Sale.
Re: Level-5's Snack World Is Finally Making Its Way To The West
Played the Japanese version and watched some of the anime. The game is good fun and the art style is really nice. Glad it's coming to the west.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - September 2019
Grid is my choice but it has been one hell of a month for games. I probably won't get around to playing some of these until next September...
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Will Have 18 Gyms Spread Across 'Major' And 'Minor' Leagues
This is something I can get behind. It would make the 'grand adventure' feel that little bit grander; despite the missing pokemon.

Re: Video: Check Out Ash And Pikachu In The New Pokémon Anime Series
It looks like they have cleaned up the art style a bit. It actually might be worth a look.

Re: Atelier Dusk Trilogy Deluxe Pack Confirmed For The West
I bought all 3 for ps3 2 weeks ago... And they're great... And I will probably buy again. Damn.
Re: Poll: Daemon X Machina Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Wasn't interested. Tech demo was dreadful. Played the new demo and had a blast. Will be getting ASAP.
Re: Review: AI: The Somnium Files - Another Gem From The Creator Of The Zero Escape Series
Didn't know this was coming out so soon. I might have to splurge on this; it looks wonderful.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 10th)
I have dropped Fire Emblem Three Houses so probably give Smash another go, some Cytus Alpha and then a little bit of F1 2019 on the PS4.
Re: Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout Gets Juicy New Gameplay Info And Trailer
Looks amazing. If this is half as good as Lulua, it will be a hit.
Re: Review: Super Mario Maker 2 - The Last 2D Mario Game You'll Ever Need
It was obvious from the press this site was giving the game; but it is still nice to see a 10/10.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 15th)
Finishing (hopefully) Atelier Lulua. Maybe get back into Splatoon 2 and Arms (regret not playing them enough when they released).

Re: Level-5's Snack World Video Game Appears To Be Getting Localised
I have the Japanese version of this- good game. Nothing groundbreaking but a nice art style and laid back story. Hopefully it gets localised

Re: Review: Ark: Survival Evolved - An Ambitious Survival Epic That's Borderline Unplayable On Switch
So basically. A decent game that is just too big for the Switch. Fair enough, at least they gave porting it a go.
