@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.

R.I.P. Kobe... I've ALWAYS rooted against the Lakers, but this year will be different. Let's Go LAKERS!!!

I was so STUNNED by this news. A true LEGEND that I had the pleasure of watching for many years. Thank You, for the memories 💯 😇

@Not_Soos Whether I used the GC controller or not, I wouldn't even consider playing with a Prize Controller... I wouldn't even remove it from the Box.

But yea... Although I don't consider it worthless, it's far from ideal 💯

@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.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney confirmed for Smash 😏

Well... Of course, I would like something Better.

Still Voted Yes.

@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".

I think that there's enough Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Capcom characters already...

Other than that, I wouldn't mind any of the other choices above.

@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.

Baby Mario & Baby Sonic at the Junior Olympic Games... It could happen... If so, you heard here first.

@Hrimfaksi Yes and No...

Yes, grinding multiple teams to 150 did feel like a chore.

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 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.

No Princess Zelda love?

Originally, she was my gag-character, because all other Zelda characters were taken (I hate doubles).I just ended up getting good with her.

... actually still got the Belt, amongst my small circle 😏

@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.

Had no expectations. Frankly, forgot that this even existed...

Watched trailer 2x, and Shared. Wow... Looks funny. I also really like the art style/CG (whatever it's called).

Count me in 😏

@BigKing

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?

@CdrJameson

Well said

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... ... ... ...

...And gaming laptop lol.

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.

@Nico07

Appreciate your response.

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.

@G_M

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.

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.

@Kriven

Agreed

The bundle will help too. Also, hardware sales should have plenty of momentum after Pokemon releases.

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.

Smiles

Thank you

...now back to politics lol

@gameboy1975 ^This

Well said ☺️

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

@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.

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.

@ValhallaOutcast Honestly, I didn't think that Doom Eternal was unrealistic.

Also, I wouldn't have guessed on this particular game in a million years. So I'm curious... How was this a more reasonable guess, in your opinion?

Because it's F2P?

@retro_player_22 Agreed

Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long. I was thinking that maybe it's in the works, but they can't announce it yet because Wolf 2 just released.

Man... I was really hoping for Doom Eternal.

@SleeplessKnight Well said. I felt the same way...

Looking at this game, it's like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3(6) married and had a baby lol. Every SNes RPG Fan's dream, right?

And the Combat System... Wow

@Cobalt A Link to the Past is my favorite too

Been able to hold off on demo #2, until right about now...

Can't wait!!!

Very excited for this game, I hope that it does very well

@carlos82 Yea...

I've wanted HD Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask since the Operation Moonfall days. Day 1 purchase for me, and I have not given up hope.

That being said, I think that a release like that takes proper timing. They couldn't release it too closely to the 3DS remakes (which were both awesome). Also, currently, you can't release it now because Breath of the Wild is still relatively new.

So... I hope that it happens. I think that it will happen... But not anytime soon, probably late in the Switch's lifespan.

I wonder if the employee got to keep it. Personally, I never would've told anyone lol.

It's a Secret to Everybody

Wow and Yikes...

Thankfully, no cracks in my console. Now... My pro controller is a completely different story. Right Analog stick crapped out on me within the first 6 months. I sent it in for repairs, and Left Analog stick died a few weeks later.

Some kinda weird issue with the "dead zone", from my limited understanding.

Bout time!!!

Can't wait!!!

Season 1, in my opinion, started off slow. In the end, however, it won me over.

That Trevor vs. Alucard fight scene was so awesome!!!

@SmaggTheSmug I feel the same way, but...

I think that Nintendo is really trying to brand this "Legacy... Uh... Thing lol"
I notice that Reggie keeps using the word.

That being said, look, let's be honest. If they don't start the service with Nes games, nobody's gonna care about Nes games (further down the road). As good as the Nes was, it can't hold a candle to the SNes and N64 classics.

More platforms will come, but initially this is the smart move.

@Djgoa I disagree...

These are Hackers, and this is what Hackers do. I have a few roms on PC, myself. I won't judge, however, let's not turn these individuals into Robin Hood/Hero types.

As for Nintendo, they should focus on the Switch. I have bought N64 games a few times over, already (N64, Wii and WiiU virtually console). Frankly, I am in no hurry to spend money on games that I already have on my WiiU virtually console.
