Slay The Princess completely enamored me, and comfortably made it's way into my favorite games of all time. I also really liked the TTYD remake. Besides that, had fun with SMT V: Vengeance, Crow Country and Alisa. I'd like to rate a few other games, but I've yet to finish Ace Attorney Investigations, and asked for Mario and Luigi and Dragon Quest 3 for Christmas.
I had a great time with the Grand Festival. Had the whole weekend off, and am now on really good internet, played with friends and really got to experience the last hurrah of Splatoon 3. Even won my first ever 100x and 333x battles in my entire time playing!
@Tasuki HoTS being put on life support still hurts for me. My favorite multiplayer game, was playing up until they announced it was going into maintenance mode (the day after my birthday too!).
@Yokaisou I'm definitely enjoying the changes, one thing I've really taken into account is Innate Skills. New and interesting passives on a demon seem like they have alot of potential for interesting team building.
I'm still in the first area of Canon of Vengeance so I'll refrain from scoring, but so far it seems like some nice additions and touch ups over the original. Cant speak towards the new story yet as I've only experienced a fraction of it.
@Elbow they do both occupy different emotional spaces. I think that's a pretty fair assessment of the songs, and I think my phrasing was a bit heavy-handed in regards to Johnny Cash version. I was just flabbergasted by the NIN version being called a 💩. I've not heard of BLOOD, did it have issues?
Surprised by the comments here, Eternals mobility and speed were excellent, and I loved it. After playing it 2016 just feels too slow. Looking forward to what comes next.

Re: Nintendo Runs Out Of Replacement Parts For 2DS Systems And New 3DS LL, Ends Repairs In Japan
@boxyguy Same regarding the A button. I got the R button to work with compressed air but the A button is a big issue.
Re: Star Fox-Inspired Space Shooter 'FUR Squadron' Is Getting A Switch 2 Sequel This Year
@IceClimbersMain I enjoyed Zero as well, wouldnt call it the best Star Fox and the controls are definitely a hindrance, but overall it's still solid.
Re: Review: Tales Of Graces f Remastered (Switch) - The Characters Steal The Show In This JRPG Classic
Still haven't opened my copy of Symphonia, but I'll likely get this at some point. Love Vesperia and Arise.
Re: Astral Chain Director Seemingly Forms New Studio After Leaving PlatinumGames

I was just thinking about this game. Very unfortunate news

Re: By 'Eck! PowerWash Simulator's Upcoming Wallace & Gromit DLC Looks Cracking
Watched the new movie a few days ago. Very well made, though the gags could've been more memorable. Still a good movie.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Tops Rolling Stone's 50 Best Games Of All Time
Rolling Stones doesn't even know music, what do they know about games. I love Breath of The Wild but it wouldn't be my #1 game.

Got it on PC, but have only played it for a moment.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS)
Played and beat (on Wii U) MH3U before the online shut down. Was a fun time. The Japan cover has really striking colors and Brachy so it's my vote.
Re: NES-Inspired Platformer 'Everdeep Aurora' Is Bringing Wholesome Vibes In 2025

I'll get back to you after Christmas. Asked for it and Mario and Luigi Brothership
Re: Review: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (Switch) - Square Doesn't Drop The Ball, Just Some Frames
I'd say day one, but I asked for it for Christmas, so more like day 50ish. Big DQ fan, 1-3 are the only main games I've yet to play. Besides X.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario & Luigi: Brothership?
Asked for it for Christmas, not a priority but eventually.
Re: Review: Slay The Princess - The Pristine Cut (Switch) – A Brilliant Horror Narrative Hampered By Technical Issues

Re: Soapbox: Splatoon 3's 'Grand Festival' Was The Perfect Goodbye
I had a great time with the Grand Festival. Had the whole weekend off, and am now on really good internet, played with friends and really got to experience the last hurrah of Splatoon 3. Even won my first ever 100x and 333x battles in my entire time playing!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Pokémon Colosseum
I voted NA, but honestly none of them are very good.
Re: Review: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (Switch) - File This With The Series' Finest
@Lizuka Funny, I'd consider GAA 1 to be one of my favorites of the whole series.
Re: Review: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection (Switch) - File This With The Series' Finest
Very VERY excited to play this one, I've heard great things and with this I'll be all caught up with the series barring the Layton crossovers.
Re: Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club Is Out Next Week, Will You Be Getting It?
@VoidofLight Great Ace Attorney is fantastic, GAA 1 and 2 are my favorite of the Ace Attorney series.
Re: Hold It! An Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Free Demo Is Now Available
Downloading immediately, have it preordered and I'm ready for it.
Re: Surprise! New Splatoon 3 amiibo Are On The Way
I need them..........
Yes Nintendo Life that is all I have to say.
Re: Feature: Legendary Starfy 101 - A Brief History Of TOSE's Adorable Platforming Star
I'm surprised with how well it seems the series did that its
A) Been so long since the last game
B) Only one ever came to North America
Re: Transformers Collab Announced For Blizzard's F2P Shooter Overwatch 2
@Tasuki HoTS being put on life support still hurts for me. My favorite multiplayer game, was playing up until they announced it was going into maintenance mode (the day after my birthday too!).

This is absolutely what I want, greatly prefer Heist to the rest of them.
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble (Switch) - Super Single-Player, But Multiplayer's A Mess
Nothing here to dissuade me, I'm only concerned about the single player. Got it at a good price too so I'm content.
Re: Feature: 9 'Mature' Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch Online's New N64 App
I've said it before, but I'd love to have Conkers Bad Fur Day on Switch.
Re: Switch Online's "Mature" Nintendo 64 App Is Now Available In The West
@MaxPlastic My brother and I played Total War endlessly.
Re: Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Completes Series In The West This September
This is a day one buy, last of the non Layton games I've yet to play.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online Gets Four New Additions Today, Including Zelda, Metroid, And Perfect Dark
Hope this opens the door for Conkers Bad Fur Day
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance?
@Yokaisou I'm definitely enjoying the changes, one thing I've really taken into account is Innate Skills. New and interesting passives on a demon seem like they have alot of potential for interesting team building.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance?
I'm still in the first area of Canon of Vengeance so I'll refrain from scoring, but so far it seems like some nice additions and touch ups over the original. Cant speak towards the new story yet as I've only experienced a fraction of it.
Re: Random: Aloy In Smash Bros.? 'LEGO Horizon' Dev Seems Up For It
Many characters I'd rather have than Aloy.
Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nightdive Studios' Next Remaster Is 2002's 'The Thing'
@Elbow they do both occupy different emotional spaces. I think that's a pretty fair assessment of the songs, and I think my phrasing was a bit heavy-handed in regards to Johnny Cash version. I was just flabbergasted by the NIN version being called a 💩.
I've not heard of BLOOD, did it have issues?
Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nightdive Studios' Next Remaster Is 2002's 'The Thing'
@TotalHenshin Fair enough, differing tastes. 🤘
Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nightdive Studio's Next Remaster Is 2002's 'The Thing'
@TotalHenshin I think you have it backwards, NIN's Hurt > Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash BUTCHERS that song.
Re: Surreal Point-And-Click Game 'Garage: Bad Dream Adventure' Gets Switch Release
Watched a video on this some time ago, and this game is truly bizarre. Might give it a go eventually.
Re: Random: Shin Megami Tensei V Continues Heavy Metal Collabs With Slipknot
Love metal, dont care for Slipknot, but this is kinda neat!
Re: Exclusive: Meet The Three Brothers Making Their Dream 'Secret Of Mana'-Inspired RPG
@Zaruboggan I'd agree with you on A, but I thought Tales of Arise was excellent.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Bravely Default
Both nice boxarts.
Unfortunately I genuinely disliked Bravely Default, and neither of the sequels have convinced me to give the series another shot.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced This June, According To New 'Exclusive'
Surprised by the comments here, Eternals mobility and speed were excellent, and I loved it. After playing it 2016 just feels too slow.
Looking forward to what comes next.
Re: Splatoon 3 'Sizzle Season 2024' Introduces New Weapons, Stages And Big Run Mode Next Month
@Grumblevolcano I really hope for content extension and third kits. 🙏
Re: Random: Danny DeVito Open To Voicing Wario In Mario Movie Sequel
