@MeatSauce umm, why not? It's interesting seeing the change of pop culture references to Switch. We don't expect every reader to read every article, if you're not interested in the subject of the article then just skip it, as others might find it more interesting than you.
The original design is super ugly, but the warning message does need to be clear. However, they could just make it mandatory to have a reversible sleeve without the warning, then once you've bought it you can just swap it around problem solved!
@illmatic20xx new interview, new questions, new answers. Even if they are the same it’s an update on the situation which rules out speculation from others.
@johnvboy slow comment day too, eh? Not every article we post needs to be hard-hitting breaking news. Nintendo Life covers all kinds of Nintendo related news, including interesting little articles like this. If you're not interested, that's fine, but there's no need to be like that.
@Haywired maybe we'll do another where we pick out the staff highlights, but this article is to decide what the general opinion of the best games on this platform - everyone's vote counts
@Ooyah @Matthew010 it’s possible, yeah, but we’ve deliberately hidden how many downvotes you get as we feel some people will use that as motivation to be as controversial as possible to try and game the system and get a ‘high score’.
For those asking, sure, we’ll look into subscribing once more information is available. However, it’s highly unlikely we’d be allowed to publish the information as we have in the past. It’s useful information for consumers, but realistically is aimed at the industry.
@dereq yep, it was all in that subtle control scheme. GX always felt really jarring and harsh to control and lacked the same finesse. Glad someone else can see it that way too!
@duffmmann maybe. I've tried to demonstrate that I have nostalgia for both, one with magazines and one with creating an entire website, so I have a fondness for both in that regard. It basically comes down to gameplay, and for me, X is better in that department.
@ReaderRagfihs you know, I think I probably played without it on this game, I don't distinctly recall using it anyway. I've not used a rumble pak in years!
@BarFooToo I was thinking the same... surely there is a finished Retro Studios game somewhere here? They can't have just been doing ports and helping out other studios all this time.
@Agramonte haha, no problem - it's obvious hit and miss, sometimes up, sometimes down but there is no proven bias seems this one has divided critics though.
@Agramonte according to our profile on Metacritic: "On average, this publication grades 9.7 points lower than other critics. (0-100 point scale)", so I guess by bump you mean we've scored it down? reviews are subjective, so maybe Gavin just liked the game more than Martin at EG?

@MeatSauce nope, really busy day for news actually.
Re: Random: Switch Box Art Download Warning Receives A Makeover

Re: PDP Reveals Switch Controller With Headphone Jack And Adjustable Audio Settings
@fcknmrcls watch your comments, no need to be so aggressive.

Re: Talking Point: Could We See Mario Kart Tour At Apple's Event Today?
@AcesHigh maybe they want to change that perception? Having a sub with some higher quality content could certainly do that.
Re: Random: Is State Of Play PlayStation's Take On Nintendo Direct?
@Ooyah yeah, it can work both ways. We use the data of the downvotes behind the scenes to keep an eye on people

Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@Rhaoulos I wouldn't disagree with you on GX having the better overall presentation... the soundtrack is excellent and the graphics are spot on.
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@GrailUK that's twitchy, not subtle
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@Dr_Lava the Expansion Kit is something I’ve been meaning to write about for a long time, maybe I’ll get around to it some day!

Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@JackEatsSparrows thanks... I've never given enough time to Extreme G, I should really get my hands on a copy (I don't own it anymore!).
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@roadrunner343 haha, not to worry, I was half joking you are allowed to be wrong on this one, it's OK!
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@Ovedo haha, you won't be the only one!
Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Admit That F-Zero X Is The Best F-Zero
@roadrunner343 thanks for reading the article so quickly!
Re: Random: One Tiny Fix Could Make Sonic's Movie Appearance So Much Better
I’m not being funny, but the ‘fix’ looks sooo much better!
Re: Zavvi Launch New 'Original Hero' Clothing Range Inspired by Super Mario
@NintyNate yep, 1000000% sure, this has been confirmed by Zavvi themselves.
Re: Zavvi Launch New 'Original Hero' Clothing Range Inspired by Super Mario
@NintyNate yep, they are official/licensed. I'll update the article to make that clear.
Re: Zavvi Launch New 'Original Hero' Clothing Range Inspired by Super Mario
@Anti-Matter I like monochrome, my personality brings the colour

Nice, it must be so much fun doing these kinds of things Kojima certainly loves it!
Re: 1TB Micro SD Cards Are About To Hit Stores, Perfect For Your Switch Storage Woes
@DanteSolablood haha, wow... it's just insane when you think about how much data you can carry around on your person these days.
Re: 1TB Micro SD Cards Are About To Hit Stores, Perfect For Your Switch Storage Woes
I still can't get my head around how much data is on that tiny card. I remember going to school with 1.44mb floppy disks
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February (Europe)
@gaga64 thanks, sorted!
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February (Europe)
@gcunit that's the price in the press release, so we're going with that for now
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st February (Europe)
@Folkloner thanks, but that is because the Awesome Pea Demo was released last week: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/nintendo_download_14th_february_europe

Re: Celebrate The Launch Of Wargroove And Win Yourself A Nintendo Switch
@Azathoth89 no problem. Consider it done!
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Switch Release Windows For Metroid, Pokémon, Animal Crossing And More
@Rohanrocks88 because Nintendo published this information today, therefore it is the most up to date info. Quite simple really.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Scrapped, Will Be Restarted Alongside Retro Studios
@ThanosReXXX we have our theories, but not things we can publish
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Scrapped, Will Be Restarted Alongside Retro Studios
@BarFooToo I was thinking the same... surely there is a finished Retro Studios game somewhere here? They can't have just been doing ports and helping out other studios all this time.
Re: Random: Singer Ariana Grande Gets Eevee Tattoo After Pokémon: Let's Go Marathon
@GauBan correct
Re: Random: Singer Ariana Grande Gets Eevee Tattoo After Pokémon: Let's Go Marathon
@rjejr if you’re tweeting about it, it must be news

@GauBan it's a popular culture reference and therefore we cover it, it's not because it's a "slow news day".
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th January (Europe)
I'm going to be getting Out Run for sure, never got the 3DS version so this is a must.
