Fonts can make or break a game for me, lol. I much preferred Pokémon Emerald to Pokémon Ruby not because of any postgame content but mostly because it used a much nicer font. Same reason I never wanted a Nokia phone—the font they used in their old phones just didn't sit right with me. This new pixelated font in the Final Fantasy remastered games looks sweet!

That's one way to increase the resell price of the game. 😕

The first one I finished: FF7 Remake. I dabbled into FF3 on the DS and FF15, but got bored pretty quickly.

@nkarafo You're not alone. I literally don't understand what most people here are talking about lol. To me this looks like a more stressful Breath of the Wild. I wish Nintendo added accessibility features (aka easy and story difficulty modes) to Zelda games, for those that just want to relax while pressing random buttons on their controllers.

It was meh while it lasted.

Pretty cool but I'm still not buying it.

3DS was a magical console. So many great games. The console reveal with Kid Icarus still gives me goosebumps. I was blown away by the graphics and so excited to play such good looking games on the go, and in stereoscopic 3D at that.

すごい！(°▽°) Can't wait till July!

If they add General Daimos, I'll buy it in a hearbeat, won't even care what the game is about.

If only this was General Daimos … 🥲 So close.

It's beautiful.

Starring Chris Pratt as the L-shaped tetromino.

This weekend? Nothing. But the next weekend will be magical.

And so, we now have official footage of both Mario and Sonic saying "meow".

@JohnnyMind I guess Poland couldn't afford dubbing back then lol, so we had one guy reading the Polish lines over the Italian audio track.

@JohnnyMind In Poland they were airing a bunch of animes with Italian dubbing in the 90s and they were the best things ever. I still have a sweet spot for the theme songs to this day. Yattaman, Calendar Men, L'Uomo Tigre – these are the jams! 😁

Whoa, I didn't expect to see Yatterman being mentioned on Nintendo Life. Shoutout to fellow Poles and Italians who grew up with this awesome cartoon.

I got several "foreign" Pokémon via Surprise Trade, but only two of them registered in another language in the Pokédex—one in French and one in German. None of the Japanese Pokémon I received got registered. Seems to be a bug?

@dexterous Nintendo </3 Poland

It would be cool if you could download the patch before getting hold of the physical game. It used to be possible to download updates for games you didn't own on the 3DS.

It would be nice if it meant official Nintendo support in Central Europe, but I very much doubt it. At least you can buy Nintendo games in the stores now, so I guess it's an improvement to what we had 10 years ago, but still. No Nintendo Clubs or anything like that for poor "Eastern" Europe.

Oh no, you spelled "Best to Worst" wrong!

Does anyone know how to mute keywords for YouTube recommendations? I'm really scared I'm going to see leaked Pokémon designs thanks to jerk YouTubers putting them in their thumbnails…

I think the difficulty level is just fine. You can always make the game harder (don't use Sparks, skip most side quests until you're done with the story, play while holding the controller upside down if you have to), but you can't necessarily always make it easier. So I'm glad to see you can choose to become invincible, perhaps for only a mission or two that annoy you, and move on.

Quaxly for me this time.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch it, seems scary. 😢

@EarthboundBenjy It's 100% Lechonk.

Konami Krazy Racers?

No worries, I had my first Japanese lesson yesterday.

I realized today that Mario Kart 8 (the Wii U original) is older than even the first Splatoon game. And during MK8's lifespan we got three whole Splatoons. Yeah, no, I'm not buying the same experience for the third time. I don't care for minor tweaks. If Splatoon was a smartphone then everyone would advise you to wait at least 2–3 generations before buying a new version lol.

Whatever. I've played for 7–8 hours and so far I'm really enjoying the game. Haven't been in touch with Digimon since the early 2000s, so this is quite nostalgic for me. I guess this is what casual Pokémon enjoyers must feel when they try a Pokémon video game for the first time in two decades lol.

I'm afraid we actually do know most of what there is to know about Splatoon 3. I loved the first game, liked the second one but I do not plan on buying the third one.

Digimon Survive, finally!

I really enjoyed the first game, but I had to switch audio language to Italian, lol. I couldn't stand the fake accents in the English version.

This game is now available for free to Netflix subscribers, at least on iOS.

A 9/10 Nintendo game, so probably around 5/10. 🤔
I was skipping through all the cutscenes eventually in Three Houses because I couldn't stand the story, so there's nothing for me here. I managed to stomach the musou gameplay for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, but Fire Emblem's storytelling is not interesting enough to win me over.

Wow! Looks and sounds fantastic!

@Kidfunkadelic83 I assume you tried changing the HDMI speed to –2 in settings? Or turning off HDCP? I'm in the process of trying to fix blackouts on PS5 (and, yes, a Samsung TV), and maybe, hopefully, –2 helped…?

16 USD is considered "as little as"? In my country that is considered an amazing salary. I earn around 11 USD per hour and I consider it a great salary.

@okeribok This! I love games that don't use saving as a gameplay mechanic. If I cannot save freely, I'm much more likely to abandon a game…

Examples of games/series with near perfect saving options: Pokémon, Ace Attorney, Zelda: BotW, Uncharted, anything with frequent auto-saving

Stinkers: New Super Mario Bros., Shin Megami Tensei V, older Dragon Quest games, Persona 5

I wish they made a game based on Kaiketsu Zorro. 😢

Cool but I literally never played an Activision/Blizzard game lol.

@The-Chosen-one Convention, maybe?

Brilliant Dragon and Shining Quest

Someone should ask Doug if Nintendo is constantly looking for ways to make their services bring more value to the customers. He could finally answer one question straight!

If they're making this, maybe one day they'd make a General Daimos game! 😱

Every article that starts with "Dragon Quest X Offline" but doesn't end with "Is Getting Localised For The West" is a slight disappointment. 😢

Tetris Effect all the way!

I would maybe consider buying it… But I don't want to apply another screen protector in my life. At least not for just a slightly nicer Switch. Screen protectors are the bane of my existence. 😅 I'd rather drink a bottle of ketchup.

Good to hear the project is still alive!
