@FantasiaWHT In the US at least, there are "lemon laws" for vehicles... not sure about other products. But in general, there is some level of consumer protection for certain things... the tricky part is deciding where the line is drawn.
I remember having no interest in Heist as a turn-based strategy game... but I loved Dig so much that I gave it a shot and loved it as well. It was perfect on the 3DS... I have been tempted to replay Heist on Switch since it is often on sale for $2, but now I will wait for Heist II.
I just hope it's not over-complicated with all of the new stuff.
@LadyCharlie Just a quick google search indicates that Thunderful has a $35 million market cap and Nintendo is about $63 BILLION... so comparing them financially is probably not reasonable.
If it's fully backwards compatible with Switch games, they could just call it Nintendo Switch and stop production of the originals, kinda like Apple TV hardware.
@marsbitrona I agree that not many people were actually confused that it was an add-on... but I know a LOT of people that had a Wii and had no idea that the WiiU was a thing... probably due to poor marketing, but also because the name didn't stand out as something new.
It is unfortunate that this discovery "ruins" the hard work of many runners who worked to get their top 10 time, but that's how it goes in speedrunnng.
SM64 120 Star is at the pinnacle of speedrunning and has been largely unchanged for years in terms of routing/strats... eventually the top runners will probably all record a time with the new technique and everything will be ok.
This is the first web site I found to state the pricing... thanks.
I might have preferred to wait for more episodes and have more than 1-3 hours of gameplay (at a higher price of course)... but my wife will be SUPER excited to play this at some point over the holidays.
We thoroughly enjoyed playing the main campaign together and anyone who hasn't tried this games: October is the perfect month for it!

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Movie Trailer Finally Reveals Keanu Reeves' Shadow
These movies have been the very rare example where I expect them to be terrible but they are quite good.
My biggest issue is Sonic's voice because I can ONLY hear Dewey Duck.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The Nintendo Museum - Exhibits, Interactive Experiences & Much More
There must be Pikmin hiding somewhere...
Re: New Sonic X Shadow Generations Trailer Showcases Shadow's Doom Powers
I don't know much about Shadow... but this is kinda giving me Bayonetta vibes.
Re: NES Remix Dev Is Reportedly Involved With Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition
You can see the similarities... I would have still liked a NES Remix port to Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Upcoming June Nintendo Direct
I still want Disney Afternoon Collection on Switch... maybe with more games added.
Re: Switch "Joy-Con Drift" Class Action Lawsuit Dismissed After Five Years
@FantasiaWHT In the US at least, there are "lemon laws" for vehicles... not sure about other products. But in general, there is some level of consumer protection for certain things... the tricky part is deciding where the line is drawn.
Re: Little Kitty, Big City Update Is On The Way, Here Are The Patch Notes
That's a lot of fixes...
Re: Review: Braid: Anniversary Edition (Switch) - Exquisite Commentary Elevates This Indie All-Timer
I can't believe this is finally arriving... No mentions in the Indie Directs.
I played most of this game on PC a long time ago... it is very clever, especially in the era of the original release.
I don't remember the story at all, and it's not essential for enjoying the game.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Want To Reuse Your Joy-Con On 'Switch 2'?
The real question is... will Switch 2 have analog triggers?
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Endless Ocean: Luminous
Is NintendoLife trying to justify their rare low score?
Re: Review: Endless Ocean: Luminous (Switch) - A Meditative Marine Milieu, But Incredibly Shallow
Well, crap... although I enjoyed the first game and the way this review reads, I think it might still be what I was expecting.
I will probably play it eventually.
Re: Best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Games, Ranked - Every TMNT Game On Switch And Nintendo Systems
The Cowabunga Collection probably shouldn't be in the list... but it is and it includes Turtles in Time, so how is it not #1?
I am still so happy that Shredder's Revenge exists and hope we get more of it...
Re: Digital Eclipse's Remake of 'Wizardry' Dungeon Crawls Onto Switch In May
It's time for a Wizards & Warriors remake!
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th April (North America)
I just realized that Braid Anniversary wasn't mentioned in the Indie Direct?
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Endless Ocean: Luminous?
@rjejr I actually wish they had ported the first 2 games for Switch to give them a second life and they would look much better.
Then develop Luminous for Switch 2 with glorious visuals.
Ultimately, I am glad this exists as I thought the series was "dead in the water".
Re: Four Years After Its Cancellation, Deliver Us The Moon Is Finally Landing On Switch
Sounds interesting... is it kinda like Subnautica on the moon?
Re: Review: Grounded (Switch) - Obsidian's Shrunk-Down Survival Adventure Struggles On Switch
Should have waited for new hardware...
Re: Video: Satisfye's New Switch Grip Should Satisfy Handheld Fans
There is an adapter that holds the Switch screen above a Pro Controller... I have one, but I don't really use it since I mostly play docked.
I think it is the Fixture S1 or S2 for OLED.
Edit: I just looked it up and it's $45... there's no way I paid that for mine, but it was years ago.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase April 2024 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer
I could go the rest of my life playing only Indie Games and Mario games.
Re: SteamWorld Heist Is Getting A Surprise Sequel On Switch This Summer
I remember having no interest in Heist as a turn-based strategy game... but I loved Dig so much that I gave it a shot and loved it as well. It was perfect on the 3DS... I have been tempted to replay Heist on Switch since it is often on sale for $2, but now I will wait for Heist II.
I just hope it's not over-complicated with all of the new stuff.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, April 17th 2024
Dredge DLC
Braid Annversary
SteamWorld
Earthblade
Re: Review: Pepper Grinder (Switch) - A Cracking Platformer That Drills Down & Strikes Gold
Seems like a great game at a great price!
Re: Talking Point: Why Isn't Nintendo Revealing Its Partner Devs Before Launch?
Because the vast majority of their customers do not care or even understand... it's a "Nintendo game".
Re: Feature: 33 Games We're Surprised Still Aren't On Switch
@DwaynesGames Me too!
DISNEY AFTERNOON COLLECTION
(add more games while you're at it)
Re: Thunderful Extends Its Distribution Agreement With Nintendo
Image & Form merged with a couple other companies and Thunderful was formed.
Re: Thunderful Extends Its Distribution Agreement With Nintendo
@-wc- If you haven't tried the Steamworld Games (Dig, Dig 2, Heist)... try them. They are wonderful and often super discounted in the eShop.
Re: Random: It's A Race Against The Clock To Complete Mario Maker's Last Unbeaten Level
@TotalHenshin No... uploads haven't been possible for a long time.
Re: 'Moonglow Bay' Looks Delightfully Cosy, And Launches On Switch Next Month
Is this a non-spooky Dredge?
Re: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Dev Shares Update On Launch Issues
What a GIANT thud...
Re: Creators Of New Switch Emulator 'Suyu' Hope To Avoid Nintendo's Wrath
Gotta say... the name suyu is brilliant.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed Is Bringing The Mayhem To Switch
Doesn't look good... hope I'm wrong.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards - Cheapest Memory Cards In 2024
I've seen the SanDisk Extreme 256GB go for $20 and the 512 for $30... can't beat that.
Re: Another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beat 'Em Up Is Coming To Switch This April
GameMill seems like a term one would use to insult a game developer.
Re: 94 Switch Games You Should Pick Up in Nintendo's 'Jump-Start' January Sale (US)
Gorogoa is really cool.
Re: Analysts Doubt 'Switch 2' Will Be Able To Top Switch's Mighty Sales Numbers
Being backwards compatible will certainly help... A second Switch, plus it can play the new games!
Re: Hands On: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong's New Co-op Rekindles An Old Rivalry
Glad this exists... may get it at some point since it has co-op.
$50 is the new $30.
Re: Thunderful Announces Restructuring That Will Affect Around 20% Of Workforce
@LadyCharlie Just a quick google search indicates that Thunderful has a $35 million market cap and Nintendo is about $63 BILLION... so comparing them financially is probably not reasonable.
Re: Random: Games Done Quick Just Featured Its First-Ever Speedrunning Dog
I watched it live... it was adorable and good to see.
I hear he is training for Super Mario Bros next year.
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
If it's fully backwards compatible with Switch games, they could just call it Nintendo Switch and stop production of the originals, kinda like Apple TV hardware.
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
@marsbitrona I agree that not many people were actually confused that it was an add-on... but I know a LOT of people that had a Wii and had no idea that the WiiU was a thing... probably due to poor marketing, but also because the name didn't stand out as something new.
Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?
Nintendo Lite Switch...
with Home Automation functionality that will never be used.
Super Switch would be awesome... kinda hoping for Switch DS.
Re: Newly Discovered Nintendo Filing Shows Off "Dual-Screen, Detachable Device"
WiiU 2 baby! Bring it on...
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online N64 Game Ranked
Playing Wave Race 64 is just as memorable to me as Mario 64 and GoldenEye... and MK64 Battle Mode.
If Nintendo got some good 3rd party N64 titles on NSO, I would probably upgrade for a bit.
Re: Yu Suzuki's Rail Shooter 'Air Twister' Is Full Of Unlockable Features In New Trailer
Definite Panzer Dragoon/Sin & Punishment vibes... might be willing to check it out on sale someday.
Re: Random: This Drink Driving Game Is A Nasty Blemish On The Switch eShop
Now review Ski Sniper!
Re: New Super Mario 64 Speedrunning Technique Smashes Previous 120-Star World Record

Re: Anniversary: Happy Birthday To Nintendo's Ugliest, Most Indestructible Console
This will be the design style of the 2 Screen Switch 2.
Re: Amazon Big Deal Days: Best Deals On Nintendo Switch Consoles, Games, eShop Credit, SD Cards And More
The 512GB Extreme card for $32 seems pretty good.
Re: First Paid DLC For Spooky Fishing Adventure Dredge Delayed
This is very misleading now that The Pale Reach has been announced for November 2023.
Re: Don't Worry, Dredge Is Fishing Up Some Chilling Paid DLC This November
This is the first web site I found to state the pricing... thanks.
I might have preferred to wait for more episodes and have more than 1-3 hours of gameplay (at a higher price of course)... but my wife will be SUPER excited to play this at some point over the holidays.
