There has been a Sonic Game, in some form, released every year from 2005 to 2020. Although, back in "My Day", 16 bit, things seemed a lot more spaced out... Hopefully, this is a return to form.
Anyways, I am also very excited for Sonic. I absolutely loved Sonic Mania. I am hoping for a sequel. In my opinion, it would be Perfect for the Anniversary.
Saw "The Wizard" in theatres, originally. Although, I have re-watched recently as well, within the past year. That Super Mario Bros. 3 scene still gives me goosebumps to this day.
Also, leaking the location of the Flute in the Castle Stage, for the Warp... That was so awesome 💯
Too young to care about "spoilers", just wanted to try it out and Warp to the Giant World like Jimmy 😎
You're right, I'm really looking at it more from a similar 3D Mario aspect. Although, I also did bring up Paper Mario originally... It's not a 3D Platformer, fair is fair. I don't mind you bringing up other games under the "Mario Banner" either.
On a more positive note, I think that we could get 1 of the 2. Any 3D Mario would be perfect for the holiday season. Although, if we do get both, I definitely won't complain... Just keeping my expectations low, for now.
@westman98 Agreed, definitely not crazy. Although, very unlikely, especially with no formal Direct.
The examples that you gave are true, but they are not the "norm". Also, they still have more space in between them... And Paper Mario launches in June. That leaves less than 6 months for the 3D Mario's and 3D World... During a Pandemic.
Don't get me wrong, I'll be very happy if Nintendo does otherwise.
I understand not scheduling Nintendo Directs during the Pandemic, but the rest of his statement seems so odd...
If these rumors are true then that's a lot of Mario games in just a small window. Without proper spacing, Nintendo will cannibalize their own products. Even with Mario's Anniversary, it seems weird to release all of those games in the next 6 months. Personally, I think that in the next 12 months would be too close together, especially considering that the new Paper Mario game launches in June. Also, scheduling all of this out, without a Direct,... Yea... I don't think so...
I'm calling Bogus on the 3D Mario rumor! I think that Super Mario 3D World is much more likely, however, there is no way that we're getting both in the same year.
@retro_player_77 "Dude it's 2020, gaming has change just like how the world has change. If you still live in your 80s/90s bubble then go retro cause modern gaming is not for you"
You do realize that your username is retro_player, right?
Although, I don't think that it's necessarily shifting blame. Even if Nintendo had already anticipated a "slow" 2nd half of the year, with the current Pandemic things have changed. Why rush now, and why not take your time?
I don't work in the industry, but from a business standpoint I would imagine that the normal development process will be significantly slowed down all across the board (i.e. Shipping, Quality Control, Marketing etc..). Retailers, competitors and 3rd Parties will all be moving at a much slower pace now.
Make sense... This is completely understandable. Although, if Nintendo had a massive 2020 release schedule, they would be able to steal a lot of the "Thunder" from the new consoles releasing towards the end of year. That being said, Animal Crossing has already clinched GOTY, in my opinion. I don't play it, but I'm very excited for it's current and future success.
Other than that, I am keeping my expectations LOW... Maybe one surprise 1st Party announcement, of the port/remake variety, for this year. Anything else will be 3rd Party, in my opinion.
I had already given up hope for Bayonetta 3 in 2020. I'm sorry but statements that game development is progressing "nicely" or "as planned" don't really mean much to me. It's redundant, game development is supposed to progress... Right? I have my suspicions that something is up. I honestly thought that BOTW 2 had a much better shot at releasing this year, before the Pandemic.
It's not my favorite in the series, but definitely Top 5.
I love the sense of urgency that Majora's Mask brings to it's quest. It can be challenging, but it delivers a real sense of accomplishment after completion.
The article is about people making sacrifices to continue to do their Jobs. You were the first person to even mention the Flu.
We can simply Agree to Disagree, on the Politics of quarantine... Ok?
Also, I don't think that you're at all qualified to preach to anyone here about manners. Your original comment was completely unprovoked and very insensitive.
@datamonkey Understood, and I appreciate the actual numbers.
Not to split hairs with you, but I don't think that anyone was claiming that COVID-19 had already surpassed the Flu death toll for this year.
The original comment was to "wake him up" when the death toll comes "somewhat close...". Obviously, I took issue with that statement. I found it to be very thoughtless and attention seeking.
That being said, I think that the number of reported cases and deaths is already significant enough to be taken seriously.
@Scollurio The "Subject" is that people's personal and professional lives are being negatively impacted, not to make you worried/convinced of anything.
Frankly, I find it amusing that you haven't had enough of the "Subject" to bother commenting. Although, I'm quite sure that you meant that you've had enough when it comes to listening to the experiences of other people.
Lastly, if you are not worried by now then I doubt that any future update will "wake you up".
I felt the same way, my friend. I did, however, keep playing. Although... I think that this might be DLC Pack that we have both been waiting for.
From what I have heard, Data Miners have found "evidence" of the Negative Zone and Annihilus.
This obviously doesn't prove anything, let alone any additional story but there's still hope. Worst case scenario, if at all true, it'll be something similar to the Danger Room.
Here's hoping that the Third Time will be the Charm.
@Jeaves22 Your speech about Heroes would be much more valid, if 2K Sports were actually honoring Kobe as a "Hero". FYI, they are NOT... They're honoring Kobe as an NBA Legend. This is not an award for "Person of the Year/Husband of the Year/Role Model of the Year" etc..
There is no Purity Test required, for 2K Sports to pay their respects to a Sports Icon.
@GetShulked Agreed, I loved Three Houses but the Byleth announcement was a disappoinment.
IMO, however, it was just bad timing. I definitely would not have ended the Fighter's Pass with Byleth. I would've announced Him/Her first, if at all possible. It was the only reveal that didn't feel like a surprise, compared to everyone else.
That being said, I think that the constant rumors/"leaks" are what magnify situations like this. If you are really expecting Dante or DoomSlayer then of course the Byleth reveal is going to leave an extra bad taste in your mouth. I think that Nintendo Life does a good job, in general, reminding readers to take these rumors/"leaks" with a grain of salt. Although, when you are constantly being bombarded with misinformation, it's hard to ignore.
@fafonio Also, Rathalos, even though he's not playable... Same as Konami with Dracula.
I understand what you're saying... You're right. Compared to the overall number of characters, it's not very many at all. It's just personal preference, especially since these DLC packs are optional. Although, I do wish that I would have known beforehand that 90% of the DLC would be 3rd party.
I would prefer that all 3rd party developers be limited to 2-3 characters. I don't want Smash to turn into "Nintendo vs. Capcom vs. Konami".
That being said, I am much more fearful of Smash now turning into "Fire Emblem vs. Pokemon".
@hihelloitsme Thanks for sharing... FYI, Per the Developers, DOOM Eternal was made with the Nintendo Switch in mind. Furthermore, per the developers, it will be coming to the Nintendo Switch.
So... Yea, even though you're entire comment is absolute nonsense based upon your own speculation, enjoy the game on your XBOX One X (which is soon to be "gimped" Holiday 2020).
Nice Read. Fire Emblem Awakening is a Masterpiece.
The only argument that could be made against it, imo, is how well it compares against Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Personally, I think that Three Houses is the better of the two. It's an equally solid game that just took more risk deviating from the series. In the end, you have a slightly better all around game, imo of course. Regardless, both of these games saved this franchise, at their own time.
I just couldn't Vote for Awakening, knowing that it's True Successor came out within the same decade.
I like the character additions, but I'm just so disappointed with the direction of the DLC packs...
No new Story Modes, more Gauntlets, and the level cap is being raised to 200... I literally JUST finished raising my final 4-Man team to 150!!!
I really wanted to like this game, but it's starting to just feel like a "Grindfest" to me. I paid $20 and waited another 3 months, just to play another round of cheap ass Gauntlets. Also, to continue to grind it out on the same damn Infinity Trials. Padding at it's finest... Ruined my night!!!
DLC news for this game was my biggest anticipation for the VGA, however, I'm now strongly considering turning my back on MUA3.
@Sanangelo89 You have not played BOTW because you are waiting for a remaster of WW/TP? Uh... I hope that that is at least either/or and not both. One Zelda fan to another, you are REALLY missing out. It's a very well deserved GOTY.
Also, those games have not even been confirmed to be in existence for Switch.
Xbox and Sony fans are NEVER asked to Port Beg, but Nintendo fans always are (even with a system that is selling like hotcakes).
I enjoyed Tekken Tag 2 on the WiiU and Soul Calibur 2 on the GameCube, but not enough to beg. The Switch install base is justification enough, in my opinion, for a release.
Besides, the Switch has plenty of other fighters. Also, Mortal Kombat is right around the corner. I will just spend my money elsewhere.
@rjejr You're definitely right about Sony winning the Gen. Truthfully, I feel that they won the Gen before Switch even launched.
That being said, maybe my Nintendo Bias has gotten the best of me. I still feel that it's a Win.
Nintendo's handheld system always sell well, true. The Switch is no different. Although, I like seeing Nintendo play to their strengths. I feel that they are more relevant than they've been in a long time, and have carved out a more significant piece of the overall market.
@Kevember Well... It's definitely not bad news, is it?
Xbox, has been out for same amount of time as the PS4 and will never see those numbers...
2018, until recently, was pretty slow for Nintendo (in my opinion). I only bought 2 games this year. Also, after looking at the WiiU lifetime sales numbers, Nintendo has pulled off a small miracle.
@westman98 Agreed. 2nd place, with a difference so close, is definitely no Loser.
Although, if accurate, I think that it's a bigger win for Nintendo. It's 3 years on the market, and predicted to outsell (just barely) the market leader.
You don't have to imagine. I've been gaming since the 80's, and I'm Switch only (for consoles). Also, don't need your money/GoFundMe.
Lastly, I get your points. Sure, the Switch isn't as powerful as PS4/XB1. Most people understand that already, I hope. Although, that doesn't give you an excuse to be a Jerk about it.
What's the point of celebrating every game that doesn't come to Switch? Do you really want to be "that guy", stating the obvious, just for attention?
We might be outliers (for now), but you are definitely not alone. My gaming taste have changed, over the years. Right now, I'm also Switch only... ... ... ...
I never heard of Panic Button, until the Switch Doom port. My brother has Doom for the Xbox One, and we were both amazed at how well this game translated to the Switch.
Panic Button is an extremely talented studio. I wish them well, in however they choose to move forward. I would also wish them luck, but, they definitely won't need it.
I really only care about StarFox. Let's say I just want Fox/Arwing (digital) and all the weapons for my Arwing. I'm guessing Ubisoft will "generously" charge me $80, right? I don't like that...
I suppose I could live with that purchase, that is, until the next real StarFox game comes out...for $60. Although, I know better than to hold my breath waiting for a StarFox release.
Agreed... Except I hope that it doesn't do well at all. I hope this game crashes and burns. Sorry, "Can't let you do that StarFox".
After reading the review and comments, and getting a good night's sleep. If someone asked me tomorrow, how much does this game cost?, I wouldn't be able to remember. That's not a good sign, for me. The only thing that I would remember, is that this game is too damn expensive...and complicated. Almost as if there are too many price options.
I appreciate people in the comment section taking time to explain the pricing, and values of each purchase. Although, at the end of the day, it feels like I'm paying too much.
Pure laziness, as opposed to not having anything at all. Uh ... Yeah... That doesn't make any sense. Sounds more like "pure entitlement", to me.
As for kissing up to Nintendo. I actually never mentioned Nintendo, in my comment. I mentioned that fan service should be embraced. On any level, large or small, it exist only for the player. If you don't like it then don't play it. Calling it "lazy", as if you were promised something more, sounds entitled.
I'm not surprised. Spider-Man was the heavyweight. I would be shocked, if it didn't claim the top spot. I don't own a PS4, but I was happy to see Spidey dominate the month.
I have been a comic book fan, almost as long as I've been a Nintendo fan. Also, I have heard such poor reviews on the Venom movie. Sony really needed this victory. Good for them.
I appreciate his statements, but Smash has been catering to that crowd since Smash 4. That's why the GameCube controller keeps coming back (I really hate that controller).
Also, it is probably how those players got Tendinitis lol.

No, I did not grind them out just for the sake of "wasting time".
The last Gauntlet from the Curse of the Vampire DLC is level 120. It's also pretty tough, imo. Grinding at least 4 characters to 150 definitely helps.
After that, there really isn't too much else to do in the game but level up characters. Also, it's the only way to gain AEP.
I love this game too. I think that I'm just a little burnt out... Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh.

I really only care about StarFox. Let's say I just want Fox/Arwing (digital) and all the weapons for my Arwing. I'm guessing Ubisoft will "generously" charge me $80, right? I don't like that...
I suppose I could live with that purchase, that is, until the next real StarFox game comes out...for $60. Although, I know better than to hold my breath waiting for a StarFox release.
Hmmm, maybe I'll think about it.

@brunojenso
Agreed... Except I hope that it doesn't do well at all. I hope this game crashes and burns. Sorry, "Can't let you do that StarFox".
After reading the review and comments, and getting a good night's sleep. If someone asked me tomorrow, how much does this game cost?, I wouldn't be able to remember. That's not a good sign, for me. The only thing that I would remember, is that this game is too damn expensive...and complicated. Almost as if there are too many price options.
I appreciate people in the comment section taking time to explain the pricing, and values of each purchase. Although, at the end of the day, it feels like I'm paying too much.

Lol @"pure laziness"
Pure laziness, as opposed to not having anything at all. Uh ... Yeah... That doesn't make any sense. Sounds more like "pure entitlement", to me.
As for kissing up to Nintendo. I actually never mentioned Nintendo, in my comment. I mentioned that fan service should be embraced. On any level, large or small, it exist only for the player. If you don't like it then don't play it. Calling it "lazy", as if you were promised something more, sounds entitled.
All in my opinion, of course.
Re: Surprise! A Special Version Of The Legend Of Zelda Has Appeared In The Switch's NES Library
Surprise! Some people in the comment section will complain about anything...
Fan service, even on the smallest level, should be embraced. This was completely unexpected, and I will enjoy it.
Re: Nintendo's Advertising Spend Drops In September, As PlayStation Takes Top Spot With Spider-Man
@Kriven
Agreed
The bundle will help too. Also, hardware sales should have plenty of momentum after Pokemon releases.
Re: Nintendo's Advertising Spend Drops In September, As PlayStation Takes Top Spot With Spider-Man
I'm not surprised. Spider-Man was the heavyweight. I would be shocked, if it didn't claim the top spot. I don't own a PS4, but I was happy to see Spidey dominate the month.
I have been a comic book fan, almost as long as I've been a Nintendo fan. Also, I have heard such poor reviews on the Venom movie. Sony really needed this victory. Good for them.

I took my eyes away from watching American politics, for a moment, and saw this story.

Well said ☺️
Re: Gallery: Sonic Mania Plus Is The Version Of Sonic Mania You've Always Wanted
In my case this would be a tripple dip. I bought Sonic Mania on Switch and Xbox1 (for the girlfriend).
(Well... Ex girlfriend, now...)
Anyways, not tripple dipping on Sonic.

It's a port of Tekken Tag 2 WiiU lol
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Isn't Concerned About Competitive Aspect Of Super Smash Bros.
@Euler Agreed, more ways to play is better...
Although, if not for Smash Bros., the GameCube controller would've been retired a long time ago.
Edit I didn't know that you could also use the GameCube controller for other Switch games. Huh, ok then.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Isn't Concerned About Competitive Aspect Of Super Smash Bros.
I appreciate his statements, but Smash has been catering to that crowd since Smash 4. That's why the GameCube controller keeps coming back (I really hate that controller).
Also, it is probably how those players got Tendinitis lol.
