@retro_player_22 It's been pushed back to next year. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/2266944

Were they true? Not to the extent you're saying. (No offence.) There were teases of something happening and we did get a indie presentation, but the likes of Nindie Showcases and Nintendo Directs are streamed presentations. What we got was not.

It was odd you even referred to it as a Nintendo Direct, since we already got release dates for The World Ends with You: Final Remix and Dark Souls Remastered. A New Labo kit was revealed. Diablo III and DOOM Eternal was both confirmed for Switch and there was a Smash Direct.

The video didn't follow the usual formula ever. You were right something would happen today, but saying you're right about there being a direct is stretching the truth.

Can someone say "Nindie Spotlight?"

@Anti-Matter 2 hours and 14 minutes from now.

Hey guys, I really hate to do this, especially when it's on a good review but isn't this posted early? I heard the embargo was August 16 at 12am PT.

@Dogorilla and Lucurio in Smash Wii U and 3DS.

Sean Schemmel is the voice actor for Lucario in Super Smash Bros. WII U and 3DS.

@jobvd a few reviews only appeared online in the last 24 hours but there were outlets that did have reviews out sooner. Game Informer, GameXplain and Miketendo64. (The latter's review was presented as if Wario wrote the review.)

@The-Chosen-one Trevor Belmont is in the Netflix Castlevania series. Not Simon.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is also playable at Gamepolis this week in Spain. Friday to Sunday.

As a frequent reader of Nintendo Life of the last five years, I'd like to see more Nintendo coverage. I can understand how popular Fortnite it but all the Fortnite coverage and guides makes you come across as being a Fortnite site first and foremost. Your reviews are great but sometimes your scores contradict what is written. Like with the Crash review. Therw was praise throughout only to then have the conclusion pretty much say it's not Mario and slap a 7 on it.

I like Alex's video reviews but only when they are reviews of games he's written because otherwise they sound false and some game details can be muddled up like in the review for the Bayonetta games for Switch.

What I really like about you guys though is your relationship with Nintendo, would love to see more interviews and feature articles on Nintendo releases, cancelled projects and the like. Would also like you to do community projects as well where you and your huge community and work together for a common goal. Be it a campaign to see a game ported to Switch and the like. You are a great Nintendo site but in recent months, it's not felt like Nintendo has been the main focus. I would like to see you return to your roots and come back as the leading Nintendo media site we know you to be.

Despite being a genre I absolutley adore and a game made by the developers of the Bravely games, I just can't get into Octopath Traveler at all. Everything about it are things I tend to love but the demos did not endear the game to me in any way and so far, none of the reviews I have read for it, have convinced me to give it a try. It's a shame really as I did really want to like it.

@Anti-Matter on the back of 're games box, yes. For additional online features and support for Korean and Chinese.

So it's a Mobile Port Plus?

Fire Emblem Switch wasn't revealed during E3 2017. It was revealed as part of a Fire Emblem Direct that was broadcast in February. It's the very same broadcast that revealed Fire Emblem Heroes.

"You could meeting Alex, you lucky things."

The only real dialogue in HW is that which is voice acted by the narrator or text meant to propel the story. @rharalson

Aonuma confirmed the BotW team were working on something else in December 2017.

I play all four of their mobile titles on a daily basis. Won't be playing Miitomo next week though, since they're ending it.

Being the best has nothing to do with catching every single Pokemon. In fact, it's an impossible quest because one's best can always improve. Also, blame the writers. In the film Ash and his team go toe to toe against legendaries. He's not sucking there, all the time.

@PuppyToucher True. I'm just going by the source article where the news comes from. It's not like someone pretending or actually having insider information and saying it, it's literally looking at a string of words and giving them a possible meaning that could lead to unnecessary hype.

Didn't Nintendo already say last year they were already thinking about what they could so with a Switch successor? I'm sure I read it from an article you guys wrote.

So not a rumour, but more speculation on Nintendo Life's part? Doom 2 remake would be nice though.

@SmaggTheSmug I'm not denying that, but we do have an Indie Smash game, Brawlout and those characters aren't even in that, so demand and interest or not, to have them in Smash, can feel like something of an insult to Nintendo's own characters.

@AyeHaley The more I play Kirby Star Allies, the more I enjoy it!

Shantae and Shovel Knight are cool and all but do we really need indie characters in Smash? There are first party characters who are still not in it. Let's focus on them first. Also, No Pyra & Mythra? Shame.

June 22 is the last day of Spring. Feels like a placeholder date. Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition also has the same date given by Amazon Spain.

@BarryDunne @JHDK I have it on Switch too and think it's pretty good. It's not the best platformer I have ever played, but it is good and the platforming controls are actually better than most indie platforming games have to offer and it's a great co-op kid friendly games for younger gamers to pick up and play.

@thewoosp not really. Just means the story could be bigger than the game is. JK Rowling worked on Harry Potter 5, 6 and 7 at the same time. This is the creative process.

@SanderEvers It's a straight up port of the original game, no changes whatsoever.

Or Legend of Legacy 2. The first game came out back in January 2015, before Majora's Mask 3D.

I wouldn't say she pondered is as such as what she said is more an expression of an opinion as opposed to asking a question out loud, which is what you've made out to sound like. Also, really? You have to have a bit of a bash at her in the lead up to the "question" she didn't ask.

To anyone who reads this review, I hope it doesn't discourage you too much, as it's sequel Woodle Tree 2: Worlds is coming to Switch as well and it's a much larger game. You can also push blocks, do puzzles and more. Trailer and gameplay footage can be found on YouTube.

I've beaten up a Hinox and a Guardian with the bike and have done a whole ton of stunts, including jumping off the bike, doing a bit of boarding and jumping back onto the bike.

The term Jet-ski is actually wrong. What you should be saying is a PWC or Personal Watercraft, or even just watercraft like the game does. Jet-ski is like a Jacuzzi, except instead of being a hot tub, a Jet-Ski is a PWC made by Kawasaki, much like how Wave Runners are Yamaha's version. As for the aggressive water physics, have you ever driven a stand-up? They are a work out in themselves and trying to do even the simplest of stunts can be a hassle on flat water, let alone rough water. Plus the sea can be unpredictable, so there's nothing wrong with the water in this game as it is behaving exactly like is should. That is all.

@riChchestM Skyrim on Switch is the Special Edition, it just doesn't have the SE in it's title. All DLC comes part of the Skyrim on Switch deal and is unlocked via in-game progression.

Brjann may have got in touch and sent you that email, but he and Julius shared the news in a video on YouTube at least 12 ahead of the time the email was sent, yet no one seems to mention that.

I'm sorry guys but there are way more bugs than that in Troll and I. One fix I had to use was setting my Switch's region to the Americas. Worked for an hour and then I had to switch it back.

I like you guys, I like your reviews, but I feel as if you're over doing it with the 10's for Nintendo Switch. Breath of the Wild fine, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 are 9's at best.

Thanks for sourcing!

@OorWullie Simple. Nintendo don't want to have games that released last year ported to the Switch, not for Europe and North America anyway and this game was originally intended for Japan.

I simply love this game, especially the hardships and how much fun my sister and I have playing it, especially when we don't see eye to eye on games, so I gave it a 10 in my review.

There's actually a few reasons for this. The first being Nintendo are being critical over which games see Switch release. They are going for quality over quantity and new rather then ports of games that came out in the last two years.

Granted some exceptions have been made but there is a reason why some devs, including Thomas Happ Games still can't get a dev kit and this is it. In Japan it's almost a case of anything goes as long as it sold well, but Europe and North America is a case by case basis also, there was a recent crisis where Nintendo nearly ran out of dev kits and needed to make more, which they have this month and are now able to send out.

So it's not there's no interest, its a case of Nintendo saying no quite a lot.

Twilight Princess HD did the same with the Wolf Link amiibo.

Good review. On another site I saw review Plantera, it actually gave the 3DS version a 6, but the Wii U version a 7.

@aaronsullivan in Spain it's fall as summer actually ends on September 14th and none of the other European amazons seem to be saying the same date, they're not saying any date but December 31St 2017.

Amazon.es says September 22nd.

Love the game, great review, but @NintendoLife, are you aware Thunder Lotus Games are hosting a Jotun event this weekend? Prizes are up for grabs. The event is the Jotun: Valhalla Edition Showdown!

@Snow-Dust My message went completely wrong, weird. There are shinies already implemented, which you can see on YouTube and there was a Shiny venomant at a Gym near me, before the team lost it.

@Snow-DThere are shinies already available in the game.ust
