@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!

@Jamie_R Pokémon Snap returned, so… It's certainly not impossible! That being said, they would probably make it into a mobile game.

Why only now? I preordered mine in the Czech Republic the day Switch OLED was announced, or a day after.

If these were Jeopardy answers, no one would guess the questions.

Now let's hope for the remaining EU languages to be added. Oh right, no one cares.
Congrats to Brazil, though.

If they announce Dragon Quest XII, I'll buy whatever platform it will be released for first (if I don't own it already). Just please not PS5 'cause that thing is impossible to get!

I only bought the VR kit and didn't even bother assembling the bazooka. Folding cardboard wasn't as satisfying as I expected.

Finally, the GBA edition!

I grew up with almost zero Nintendo presence (except for Pokémon), so that's fine by me. My Nintendo nostalgia reaches only as far back as my late teenage years (2007 onwards).

Looks fresh! I'd buy it if I still played the game and had space to put it.

MARIO: dies
LUIGI: Luigi number one! 😏

I saw "New Switch" in the title and my heart skipped a beat.

Why are you bashing on Klroph, though? They just said they are very similar to the game.

"(…) as long as your delivery address is in one of the countries listed below."
Yet again, only customers from the privileged few European countries can order something nice from Nintendo.

Do we know if button controls can be used in docked mode? As far as I know, Nintendo never confirmed that the button controls can be used anywhere else than the handheld mode.

While it looks really cool, I don't believe Game Freak is able to make a game looking this good. So I guess I'd rather have a good safe remake than a poor ambitious one. We're still getting the Legends game set in old Sinnoh, so that's pretty good, too.
