I'm playing Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, hoping to finish it. Have also started Super Princess Peach on DS which is pretty neat and 80s Overdrive on 3DS.
Might start Skyward Sword HD since everyone else is playing it.
I still need to decide which retro games to download on 3DS and Wii U virtual console. Am considering this is an indication the stores themselves will be closing maybe next year.
Might play Skyward Sword HD but am currently quite enjoying Max and the Cursed Brotherhood, it's a really fun game. Also have just a little more to do to get 100% on Yoku's Island Express which was awesome.
Had fun with Tony Hawk 3 on GameCube although my friend said the PS2 controller was much better suited for Tony Hawk games. I enjoyed Downhill Jam on the Wii it was a decent game which was controlled by holding the Wii remote sideways.
Sonic and Knuckles 3 is my timeless favourite. Sonic Rush comes second. Sonic Mania is great but some of the levels aren't original so I put it in third. Really enjoy most of the 2D Sonic games in the list though.
@brunojenso I think the first Game Gear Sonic is identical to the Master System version, only the Master System version has a bigger screen area and runs smoother.
Metroid Zero Mission, am lost trying to find the power bomb, it's not a Metroid game if you don't get lost occasionally. Think I've almost finished the game so Super Metroid will be next.
Also Kaze and the Wild Masks now as I've managed to get the update to download after clicking the continue button about 15 times. Fancy some MK8 Deluxe too.
Will give the motion controls a go first but can see myself going back to standard controls soon after. Motion controls might draw some people to the game though so it's good to include them.
Have pre-ordered Kaze and the Wild Masks and Skyward Sword HD. Thinking about Mario Golf too but I have Mario Tennis Aces and haven't even played it yet so maybe I should try that first.
Finished Ring Fit Adventure, the final boss was so hard I'm aching. Also going to finish Tales of Xillia and then not sure what game I'll go for next as my physical version of Kaze and the Wild Masks hasn't arrived yet.
I want the Amiibo because it looks nice. However am not sure I will buy it because of the price and I've already pre-ordered the special edition joy cons as well as Skyward Sword HD. Using the Amiibo might be counter productive anyway because you'll collect less rupees and resources along the way which helps you get better stuff in the game.
Just finished GaiaSeed on PS One, it's an excellent schmup . Also finished Rocket Knight on PS3 which is really fun. Onto Tales of Xillia next after having a break from the game, must be near the end now. Might grab some MK8 Deluxe too.
My save file for Kirby and the Amazing Mirror got corrupted so am having to start again.
I've still got Fire Emblem Heroes and Dragon Quest Heroes 2 to get through first which will take me ages. Although for some reason Dragon Quest Heroes appeals to me more than Age of Calamity which is a surprise.
I really like the look of the Amiibo but if I buy it am not sure I'm going to take it out of the box anyway. I don't remember the traveling being very inconvenient in Skyward Sword.
The first game got really annoying for me because of the card mechanics but I heard this was improved in the second game Origins. Not really bothered if we get another game in the series.
Will be finishing Shantae Half Genie Hero. Also playing Graceful Explosion Machine which is really addictive despite me thinking it wasn't for me. Need to get back to Tales of Xillia and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror too.

Re: Talking Point: Every Pre-BOTW 3D Zelda Now Has A Remake, But Which Is Best?
Wind Waker HD made great use of the Gamepad when you're finding treasure at sea.
Ocarina of Time 3D was good but I miss it on the big screen with a proper analogue stick instead of the 3DS slider.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 24th)
@fafonio I miss the old Zelda formula too.

Re: Reminder: Nine Resident Evil Games Are Currently Discounted Across Switch And 3DS
I wanted Revelations 2 but the file size is too big for me.

This one's in my games to get list, glad it's doing well.
Re: Nintendo Removing Credit Card Support From 3DS And Wii U eShop In Japan

Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Soars Straight To Number One
There's been a lot of advertising for Skyward Sword HD, seems like it's paying off.

It arrived a couple of hours ago and joy cons are due this evening. Happy days.
Re: Sonic Colors: Ultimate Switch Trailer Removes 60fps Perk Of Original Video
Will just get the PS4 version, was expecting something like this to happen anyway.
Re: Round Up: Here Are The First "Hands-On" Impressions Of The Nintendo Switch OLED
I'm just sad I didn't get the Gameboy Advance SP with the improved screen at the time, I didn't know it existed.
I already have both a Switch and Switch Lite so to have an OLED Switch would make the Switch Lite look bad so I won't get it.
Re: Nintendo Plugs Its NSO Zelda Games Ahead Of Skyward Sword HD's Release
Am playing A Link to the Past at the moment in anticipation of Skyward Sword. Shame NSO doesn't have Oracle of Seasons or Oracle of Ages.
Re: Video: Days Ahead Of Release, Zelda: Skyward Sword Gets New 'A Hero Rises' Trailer
It does look really nice in HD. Looking forward to playing.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Be Purchased Separately
I was interested in the dock until the one less USB port was mentioned.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch OLED Model
I hardly ever play in handheld so don't think I'll bother. Already have a wired LAN adapter. I do like the white dock and joy cons though.
Re: Tetris 99 Hits The Fairway With A Brand New Mario Golf: Super Rush Theme
@Yosher Tee spins, I like it 😁
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - June 2021

Re: This Ultra-Rare Copy Of The Original NES Zelda Is Already Going For Crazy Money
Some people must have money to burn.

@bobzbulder I'm hoping to get the Lego game in a sale someday.
Re: Video: 13 Exciting New Games Coming to Nintendo Switch In July
Quite a few that I want this month but have pre-ordered Skyward Sword HD and the joy cons so that's probably all I'll buy this month.
Re: Pokémon Journeys: The Series Is Finally Coming To Netflix In The UK
Haven't watched the anime in a long long time. Think I finished the season before Diamond and Pearl. Wonder if that's on Netflix.

Re: Smash Bros. Celebrates Sonic's 30th With A Special Spirit Board Event
Might give it a go but have realised I haven't finished World of Light yet, it's massive.
Re: Smash Bros. Celebrates Sonic's 30th With A Special Spirit Board Event
@Zach777 I get the impression there's no new spirits.

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
I always found the motion controls a problem with the Ghirahim battles but think I will switch to standard controls for those brief sections.
Would like it if they improved the speed of the beetle too.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Sonic Game?
@andyg1412 With you there, I have very fond memories of the Master System Sonic games.
Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Sonic Game?
@Kevember I've played all of them except for Tails Adventure.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 19th)

Re: Poll: Will You Be Using Motion Controls In Mario Golf: Super Rush?
Will give the motion controls a go first but can see myself going back to standard controls soon after. Motion controls might draw some people to the game though so it's good to include them.
Re: Sonic Colors: Ultimate Will Be A Friendly Game For Beginners
As long as I can turn off tails assist I'll be happy. Hopefully this means more people will play Sonic Colours.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 5th)
I've started Metroid Zero Mission on GBA, thought I preferred it to Fusion but have changed my mind.
Also playing Trine which is really good, love the music and the atmosphere in the game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 5th)
@darkswabber I'm going to order Super Princess Peach, can't believe I haven't tried it yet.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For June And July 2021

Finished Ring Fit Adventure, the final boss was so hard I'm aching. Also going to finish Tales of Xillia and then not sure what game I'll go for next as my physical version of Kaze and the Wild Masks hasn't arrived yet.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Game Boy Color... Colour?
My favourite Gameboy Color is the one with the backlight
Re: Reminder: Five NES And SNES Games Hit Switch Today, Plus A Special Version Of Super Mario Kart
Looking forward to Magical Drop 2, that was on my wishlist but now I won't have to buy it.
The SP version of Mario Kart is great, I always hated having to play through 50cc mode, it's so boringly slow.
Re: Reminder: Five NES And SNES Games Hit Switch Today, Plus A Special Version Of Super Mario Kart
@liljmoore I want a new Golden Sun game too.
Re: Talking Point: amiibo Have Always Been Physical DLC, Skyward Sword HD Is No Different

Re: Yes, Jupiter's Sega Picross Game Is Still In Development For Nintendo Switch
@JuiceMan_V That Switch Lite does look lovely.
Re: Zelda & Loftwing Is The Only amiibo Compatible With Skyward Sword HD
I really like the look of the Amiibo but if I buy it am not sure I'm going to take it out of the box anyway. I don't remember the traveling being very inconvenient in Skyward Sword.
Re: Zelda & Loftwing Is The Only amiibo Compatible With Skyward Sword HD
@Shiiva Me too, am looking forward to playing without having to regularly calibrate the controls too.
Re: Hardware Review: RetroN Sq - An Affordable Way To Play The Entire Game Boy Library On Your Big Screen TV
I would mainly use it for GBA games so is a no from me unless there's improvements. Already have a Gameboy Player anyway.
Re: Dragon Quest 35th Anniversary Stream Will Reveal New Game Information
I'd like to be able to play Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride on Switch, the DS version costs a fortune to buy pre-owned.
Re: Bandai Namco Just Registered Trademarks For The GameCube Exclusive Series Baten Kaitos
