@MarioVillager92 I never really listen to music or noises to go to bed, but the few times I have did feel nice. It’s good you’re feeling better now!
Wow, the tweaks to the currency sound way better and fun. I didn’t know they got rid of the Leaf Tickets and got tokens in instead, because all I remember them saying before the closing of the OG Pockey Camp was that you could no longer buy Leaf Tickets, which I assumed meant the Leaf Tickets were going to be earned in-game without real money. Yeah, the tickets were really frustrating and annoying for me when I used to play it. They were hard to get and required a lot to do almost everything, and it’s nice to hear that it’s way more easier to unlock furniture sets and things. I had a lot of incomplete sets though.
I really want them, but I don’t think that they’ll have third-party icons anytime soon. I am hoping they will eventually, but I understand why on the Switch they don’t allow you to use your own photos and you have to use the stuff they have already. I am fine with the DKC render I currently have, also because it’s from a game Rare developed, and I enjoy their old games a lot
I have heard of Donald Duck starring in quite a few games of his own, but I never played them at all, though I did watch a video about Crash Bandicoot clones (in terms of gameplay) and one of them was a game called Goin’ Quackers, which did seem fun, and I remember the guy in the video liked it. I’ve only really played the more modern Disney games, but I find a lot of Disney games are pretty good quality and fun!
The time was left like that for years and it ruined the game a lot lol. I did fix it eventually, though I don’t play ACNL anymore, also because I dont have a good 2DS charger. The one I had is busted unfortunately. But yeah, after seeing how much the town was altered from the year change, I just didn’t time travel in ACNH since that’s the intended way to play. I see, I did know it was about making houses. When I played ACNL I did like decorating my house a lot and obtaining furniture, so that sounds fun.
Rare had a plethora of cancelled games with interesting development cycles. It’s a shame that whenever they tried salvaging cancelled games it almost never worked and didn’t see the light of day, and DKR still doesn’t have a sequel unfortunately. I can remember some people think something similarly happened with a cancelled Conker sequel, but I don’t know if there’s any confirmation on it? What people thought happened with that was the environments and graphics for the sequel were salvaged and used for the remake instead, which people think was made as a replacement for the sequel. I also think people think that way is because Conker’s outfit in the remake was originally from the sequel, so it is very likely they salvaged it. Anyway, it’s a shame a lot of their interesting projects never came to be, but it also came from some of the developers not really wanting to make the games from a lack of interest, though it’s understandable.
And yes, I’m very excited about Bananza! I really cannot wait, though I’m hoping the game doesn’t get fully leaked just before release, since I’m likely not going to have a Switch 2 by the time it releases, and it seems almost every major Nintendo game gets leaked. But, I am also wondering what they are going to do for the next 3D Mario game. It was a bit surprising they never announced one during the Direct, but I would assume it’s in development, probably not ready to be revealed yet. I am kind of expecting rumors for the next game to pop up after a while, since Bananza and it being developed by the Odyssey team was heavily rumored for years and here it finally is revealed.
@Mariotag I am a fan of the ones that are more like animals, or just straight-up animals.
Yeah, if your at chapter 4-5, you have 10-11 chapters left. It’s a short but fun game. Yeah, I only got the outfit DLC, I never got the extra content and characters, though the newer playable characters looked really cool.
I never do digital art, because I suck at it and managing layers and blending. I actually got a drawing tablet and pen during Christmas years ago, it’s the type of tablet you connect to a computer and I used it 1-2 times and I still wasn’t good at using it. I still have it and I want to try digital stuff, but my art skills are so bad digitally. I downloaded Ibis Paint X so I could digital draw, but I don’t use it because I have to use my finger for all the drawing and can’t get fine details because I don’t have a digital pencil. It’s why I like doing traditional, but traditional is more stress and anger-inducing if it doesn’t go right.
I should add that I also really don’t like using paint. When I wanted to paint, it was usually like a fad for me after I see someone online paint a masterpiece. I think I can do it, butttt I can’t. Worst thing I did was waste a ton of bucks on a set of oil paints and not buying linseed oil to clean my brushes. Didn’t know oil paint was slow-drying and sticks to brushes, so I lost a ton of good brushes and never made a finished painting with them.
The game pricing was the greatest disappointment. Like others the high Switch 2 price was to be expected, but I really think the pricing on the games is not good since everyone is buying the Switch 2 for two things: to play exclusives that will be unplayable on the OG Switch, and have their games run better with the improved hardware and technology. I swear the $70 game pricing started two years ago and it’s very quickly getting to $80. I know inflation and all, but it absolutely sucks that now it’s gotten pricier quickly. I’m already hearing people say they aren’t getting it because of how high the game and console pricing is. I am hoping that they will eventually slash the Switch 2 and game prices down if they don’t sell well, like what happened with the 3DS and how it got a significant price change because they overpriced it at first. I do have a bad feeling the pricing will hurt sales maybe a bit, since a lot of people got turned off from the pricing, plus them excluding the pricing in the Direct and not telling anyone else it later makes me feel a certain way.
And I am also hoping there are more exclusives they’ll reveal soon, because while I do like the new Switch 2 exclusives they revealed, I feel like the only four new first-parties they showed off might not be enough, plus it’s unknown what they’ll be doing with the next 3D Mario game. It was a bit shocking to me they never revealed an exclusive Mario game for the Switch 2, but I’m assuming they probably have one in the works but aren’t ready to reveal it. Hopefully they have a June Direct around the release and show off significantly more Switch 2 exclusives.
Yeah, it's my birthday today. A friend gave me this game. I'm gonna tag @Anti-Matter for this one.
Also got some new Trolls Mineez. Seriously, glad I got this game. I like the first game, and this generation of My Little Pony was recently cancelled (I use to watch it on Netflix too) so I'm glad I got the second game before it gets hard to find.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@MarioVillager92 Thank you! So far, it's nice and quiet. Just having some morning tea.
@Anti-Matter BTW, did you see the image I posted? It's a copy of My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery (hence why the tag). Didn't know if you saw it since sometimes you have trouble seeing pics I posted.

So guys, Switch 2 doesn't have hall sticks, so they will probably start drifting as usual. This is actually so laughable I don't even know if it's a serious reveal or a joke anymore
@Sunsy nice, it's the 2nd part, isn't it? Is it better than the 1st?
I haven't played Trinity Trigger, but it's on my list somewhere. I play everything jrpg so I'll eventually try it. After Stella Glow, Riviera, Golden Sun, Lunar, Bravely Default, and like 50 more
I only played SoM once, I'm gonna have to make up in order to keep up Do you play any other RPGs?

@Pastellioli So, more the animal mythological creatures? Fair.
Not long? I find each chapter to be a slog lol. Fighting switch battery life every step of the way! And if you were able to play as Cia, you got at least some of the dlc.
Yeah. Wii U was neat with being able to doodle there, but otherwise, I always feel like my drawing is disjointed, if that makes sense?
Ehh. Yeah. I just avoid mess the best I can.
Yeah. The pricing for the console was expected. Games? Not so much. Discounts would eventually be had regardless, at least for physical games. But Nintendo seems to be going the dishonest route right now, and has been $ > everything else kinda since Iwata went. It makes sense games would cost more. The economy is terrible atm, even before this past year, and game prices have somehow stayed between $50-$70 since the mid '80s. Nintendo's greatest successes seem to have been a good balance of quality, appeal, and accessiblity. But they threw that off here, just as with N64 era.
And dear lord the required storage solutions pricing... And yeah. They didn't announce price uring the direct at all, instead showing us a tentative price...
Yeah. Mario is probably coming later. Last time we had a new main console with no new Mario announced was Gamecube iirc.
@Mariotag They are so cool. The one I know the most is Ratatoskr, also because of FEH.
Well, okay I did forget there is a ton of stuff you need to do to make sure you’re prepared for each chapter lol. Leveling up units almost all the time before getting into harder levels was kind of annoying (which made the final battle long to get through) though I found getting through the levels to be kind of a breeze because of the simplified hack and slash gameplay.
I only ever did two drawings on the Wii U (which didn’t look good at all lol) but I like how the Gamepad and stylus were kind of like a drawing pad. Same with how the 3DS had that note app where you could draw with a limited set of colors. And I do get what you mean by disjointed. I think my Wii U drawings looked incoherent and badly drawn compared to my traditional art at the time, though I should add my art skills were awful around the time of the Wii U.
I hate it when art gets messy. Was sketching something yesterday and so much of the lead smeared on the paper because of the side of my palm. Not done with the drawing yet, but I should be able to cover up the smudging later on.
I definitely think that eventually some game stores will offer discounts, and hopefully have pre-owned and lightly used games for cheaper, which I think will definitely happen, though maybe not after some time, because I know once those Switch 2 games sell out everyone is going to be holding onto those copies for a while. It is surprising games have for so long been priced at $50-$70 and just now they are going to be nearly $100. Isn’t there reports that’s what they’ll likely do for GTA 6 and will have other game developers follow suit?With companies pricing their games that high, it kind of tells me that they are trying to capitalize on the success a bunch and they know their customers will probably buy it anyway. And there was an article on here today where Nintendo commented on the pricing and it seems like they are the ones who chose the pricing, and that inflation and tariffs probably didn’t play a role in it at all. Nintendo is absolutely appealing with their games and the quality has usually been consistently good, but the money and pricing decisions they make have not been consistently good though. I’m just still hoping that some stores will choose to drop the prices at some point, given they tend to discount games way more than Nintendo does for their own games apparently.
I don’t mind them doing Bananza as the Switch 2’s major platformer right now, though I was maybe expecting them to do a new Mario game for it quickly? I definitely think they will unveil a new game at some point soon. At least in terms of Mario-related games for Switch 2 they have Mario Kart World, which looks absolutely fun and I feel will sell quite a bit, also because it’s Mario Kart haha.

@Sunsy I’m not into sports, though I hear lots of buzz about it. It must be fun to watch!
Ah, I forgot about MAR10 day and how it discounts a lot of Mario games and content. I am also remembering Nintendo Selects. If I remember, didn’t they sell games under that label for cheap? Yeah, I do feel like if games priced at $80 do well it’s probably going to encourage others to do it. I’m sure I saw on one of Hookshot’s sites a report that apparently people are expecting GTA 6 to be really expensive, and that other game developers and publishers are waiting for that so they can also price their games like that too. It seems like a likely trend unfortunately.
Yep, lots of people are going to hold on to their old console, which is a wise decision. Me and my family did that for lot for old consoles we have, though we gave a lot of the old consoles to my sister, namely the Wii U, Wii, and a PS Vita. I don’t mind a lot though since I haven’t really used those in recent years, but people should absolutely hold onto their OG Switch even if they get the new and improved Switch 2.
Yeah, I think I did hear Nintendo say lately the backwards compatibility on Switch 2 was apparently emulator-based rather than hardware based. I am still a bit disappointed some games won’t be backwards compatible, it seems like yet another Xbox backwards compatibility situation where it has a good selection of playable older games but the other half are unplayable. I am wondering what other games have been confirmed to be unplayable on Switch 2 besides the Labo, because I’ve heard people mentioning specific games that are completely unplayable but I can’t find any listing for it on Nintendo’s site, though I’m assuming they are probably referring to the games with start-up issues.

I played the first one, it was okay for what it was but it was so short. I hope they got the length right now. Although I will miss the Celestia/Luna timeline
