@Joeynator3000 I can give you two guesses why they made that rule and if you care about the supposed controversy about certain characters in TTYD, you'd know. I don't. It's a game. Nothing more. People just look for controversy these days and if they can't find it, they make it up.

@HotGoomba This isn't even close to the worst translated title.

@xmkbest I thought it was funny but humor is an uncommon virtue, these days...

Holy crappy character models, Batman!

@demacho It's a stretch to think Nintendo reads Nintendo Life but has no access to thousands of videos on YouTube of this that are already out there.

@Gitface Same. I tried both and couldn't get hooked and don't think a new run would change that. Just not my cuppa

@Fizza Who needs an education when you could be gaming instead?

Just kidding, finish school we got enough imbeciles out in the wild.

@PikminMarioKirby Good catch, Sherlock.

@PikminMarioKirby I think that's pretty much true of the gaming industry in general right now. A lot of dark clouds out there. Hopefully Nintendo Switch successor brightens things up but they have a history doing something really good and following it up with something not so good.

For the love of all of the holy game gods, let this next generation have more new IPs and iterations than retrogrades, repaints, and remakes.

Dang. $25? This might the only time I wish I HAD unnecessarily preordered a game.

I'll be playing it but what would have been better was a new one. I hope this generation of consoles is the end of the remake, remade, retrograde fad....

Oh good lord... These will be the same kids who say their student loan was worthless.

I may be in the minority but found it bland and boring

To me, there is no cheaper version of therapy, than gaming. I'd literally be in some type of institution, padded or barred, if I didn't have this outlet. Sounds extreme but it's one of my few guilty pleasures.

I'm getting a little long in the tooth but still enjoy gaming. The moment a console locks us into 100% digital, I'm going to bow out gracefully, at least from that platform, for sure. PC is already there but I don't see me buying a console that's digital only. Whether you prefer digital or physical, having choices almost always helps consumers.

With all the gaming news in the past half a year, or so, I'm really worried that we are staring down the barrel of one of the biggest gaming crisis since the 1980s. Things are definitely a lot different these days, than they were then, and I really hope I'm completely wrong, but I think a lot of the tell-tale signs are there. One things for sure, I highly doubt the next few years will be looked back at with any type of nostalgia.

Never played it but that game looks really immersive for it's era. This is the kind of stuff I wish they'd remake or upgrade. Not something I wore out the cartridge pins playing before.

@Bratwurst35 Tired of the culture war myself, but it beats the heck out of an actual war. (Let's don't do that again.) While I don't agree with a lot of stuff going on, I don't dislike anyone enough to get up before the crack of dawn and lace up my boots.

Actually kind of weird they didn't put that effort into Dig 3. Dig has to have sold more copies than Heist.

Nintendo acts on something that's been in the wild for years, just as the console is sunsetting. Their timing is hilarious.

How about just giving us a new game?

@TruthisRare Humor is being shadow banned. The only thing you CAN joke about is something nobody finds funny, and even that's probably offensive. They are just keeping with the times.

"given the significant leap in visual quality from the original to the remake, we can also understand why certain sacrifices had to be made"

That statement leaves out the fact that the hardware the original ran on is over two decades ago. I'm not debating the merits of the frames per second, but don't try and sugarcoat it. That just sounds ridiculous.

Same, but literal driving puts me squarely in the mentally disturbed bracket. I have such a hard time dealing with the other idiots on the road and have to keep reminding myself that if you wake up and think everyone you meet is an *****, you just might the *****. If I won the lottery the very first thing I'd do is hire someone to drive me everywhere I go. And before someone says bus, I'm not in a place where that's a viable option, and I don't do well with crowds.

Hype radar on full alert. So, I'm obviously expecting at maximum a 7 but most likely a 6 on final review.

These upgrades seem like the last milking of the teat of the current Nintendo generation. While welcomed, and I plan on playing them, how cool would it have been to get a new proper Paper Mario and Luigi's mansion during the swan song of Switch 1? We got two Zeldas but only one of these each. So sad...

@SailorDonut Not on Amazon in the US. Unless it sold out in 30 minutes you posted that.

Whole reason I avoid rogue games... If I wanted to be stressed I'd avoid games while I work instead of avoiding work while playing games.

Reminds me of the 80s(?) shrinky dink art you heated in an oven. Anyone else that old?

Edit: Found an old video: https://youtu.be/frak7UgnmpM?si=5Oezvn6rfFbTxkBB

Did Disney get a hold of this IP?

@UltimateOtaku91 Think that title belongs to Call of Duty...

I wasn't on the gaming doomsday wagon, until now. Starting to look like we got a long drought in front of us and that's not a direct comment on the indie landscape.

@Mario500 I recommend you don't enter a Walmart on a Saturday morning.

@YagaMaki Kind of always wondered if Gamepass like services actually encourage you to be able to quit a game because you don't feel like you paid anything into it. How far did you get into it? No judgement on my part, haven't played it yet.

If only being dumb enough to pay for something like this was illegal. Probably not enough jail cells, though

@anubisvel Preordering has long been an unnecessary tactic. Used to make some sense when you knew demand would outstrip supply. Nowadays, I think it's meaningless unless you really, really, want that skin.

@Divinebovine Exactly. My "backlog" is virtual, I reserve it in my head and buy it when I get around to it (which almost always means it's cheaper). Sure beats paying full price for a backlog, but if I had to guess most of game journalists backlogs aren't full price either. Could be wrong.

Never once had an issue with this. A solution looking for a problem...

I actually slept on Death Stranding and it sat on my game shelf for a while in my backlog. Just started playing a few weeks ago after upgrading to Director's cut immediately. I'm blown away by this game. Whoever called it a walking simulator, obviously never played it. It's keeping me up at night.

@m-wasi You'll want to google Australian slang word dinger. It decidedly doesn't mean baseball.

@m-wasi I think in this sense they meant the Australian slang version.

Microsoft gonna be the next SEGA?

A survey given to idiots who know little about games, gives idiotic results.... News at 11

Seeing Minish Cap just makes me miss traditional dungeons even more.

I think it would take zero effort for Nintendo to make a YouTube app and that's exactly how much effort they've put into making one.

Never played Series, New, or Like. Or any of them any good?

Man, I'm really trying to like Unicorn Overlord but keep putting it down. Maybe I'm too dumb to enjoy it?

7s? Well, I'll put that in my bargain bin category.

Either buy it or don't buy it, I think our expectations are meaningless unless we vote with our wallets. In other words, if they keep selling them, they'll keep making them.
