New Pikmin 4 trailer:


I don't know if custom characters were announced before this trailer, but that's pretty cool. Looking forward to this!

New NSO game drop, the most exciting of which is Kirby Tilt N' Tumble. Let's get all the gyro games on this sucker

When I saw that listed, not gonna lie, was impressed Nintendo put in the time to get it working on Switch. Very happy development for sure. I'd even thought about busting out my cart and playing on the Analogue Pocket the other day. (And I may still do it, but I'm gonna see how well the Switch version runs.)

Two Switch Games Will "No Longer Be Available" On The eShop

Say goodbye to 'The Lost Child' & 'God Wars' by NIS America
www.nintendolife.com www.nintendolife.com

Two pretty solid RPGs are about to be delisted; can’t speak as to God Wars (heard good things), but I really liked Lost Child; leaned pretty hard on the older SMT games for inspiration.

Good news is that at least it’s been reduced to Ludicrously Cheap until it gets delisted

The Lost Child is also your one vaguely-related video game continuation of El Shaddai that exists, for the few that care about that series that never was.

Japan is getting Binding Blade as well (Roy's game that wasn't localized, to be clear).

I'm glad I finally finished Fire Emblem, but I guarantee you I'll never play through it again.

Anyway, Eliwood ended up pretty meh in my run, Lyn was okay, and Hector was a "holy crap, did you see what he just did?!" MVP.

I don't know what it is - on paper, I should love it, but I almost always fall off of them a few hours in. This one was an exception.

Older Fire Emblem entries trigger my OCD not wanting to lose party members. Don't care for perma-death at all. And, of course, a lot of times it happens when you put a weaker character "out of the way", only for the enemy to spawn in reinforcements right next to them. Yay!

The NSO abilities to save state and rewind is going to do wonders for me reengaging with this one. I love it, but I'm not the 20 something who had more patience and spare time to deal with permadeaths and shitty enemy reinforcement points I was, haha.

You can also use savestates to savescum excellent level ups for your favorite characters, if you really want to spend a bunch of time on something highly unnecessary.

I wish I had save-scummed Eliwood - he was dead weight in the final battle. Hector carried the entire team and then some. Of course, I'd read a ton on relative strengths and how he could end up turning out that way. He had enough speed, but never got enough strength to make it count. Hector, on the other hand, was fast enough to not usually get doubled, and would often double some enemies himself, and even if he did get hit his defense was plenty high enough to tank it.

Seriously, though, how awesome is this critical?
