After being thoroughly turned off by Warhammer 40k: Mechanicus, I decided to pivot genres and give Grow a little bit of my time. What a charming, good looking, beautiful sounding, box-checking busy-work management game. I only played for about half an hour, but I like where this is going. This could give Yonder some competition for best non-simlife game that doesn't have combat.
Similar games like My Time at Portia or Forager actually have a bit of combat.

I prefer 1-2-Switch sequel than the upcoming games like Xenoblade 3 / Metroid Prime 4 / Splatoon 3 / BOTW 2.
I don't even have any interest with those games.
@StarPoint Nintendo likely saw its sales and decided sequel from that (it got 3.45 million sales up to the end of 2020), honestly makes me wonder if we'll find out that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe gets more Booster Course Passes (like a 2nd one that begins in early 2024 and ends in late 2025) so that ARMS 2 can happen.
@Grumblevolcano It's just a little surprising to me considering the general lukewarm/ harsh reception the game got. Perhaps they think they can improve on the idea of it, but judging by this leak, I'm not too sure.

I think Wii Music was good as I like to make Custom Jam from Wii Music with Saxophone as my favorite musical instrument.
Here is one of my Custom Jam performance.
Looks like the next NSO game trial is Stardew Valley...in Europe and Japan at least. Here's Nintendo Everything's article on it. Wouldn't be surprised if it made it to North America either - I'd be down with that.
1, 2 Switch sold really well, so they were always going to want to release a sequel.
They released a game that's probably the budgetary equivalent of one of those bargain bin Ubisoft party games on Wii and convinced several millions of people to pay full MSRP for it.
I also find its existence as a full-price release to be offensive, but if I was making decisions at Nintendo, I'd have greenlit a sequel in a second.
What's particularly interesting to me is how bad it reportedly is.
The only reason 1-2 Switch sold as well as it did was the fact it was a launch title, and ppl wanted a game that showcased the HD Rumble.
Both of those factors are missing for the sequel. It won't be a launch title with no competition, and ppl have plenty of experience with HD rumble in games now. Furthermore, anyone who didn't buy 1-2 Switch clearly isn't going to buy the sequel. So it's fanbase is restricted to 1-2 Switch owners. And most of those weren't impressed- they may have rolled the dice (no pun intended) once, but knowing how lame it is now in hindsight, are far less likely to spend another $60 on a sequel.
Warioware Let's Get It Together has only sold 1 million copies. And that was an excellent game. I have doubts a 1-2 Switch sequel will even crack a million sold.
Worst yet, is the better it sells the more damage it does to Nintendo as a brand. Bad games ruin reputations and consumer confidence. Most ppl buy 1st party games because Nintendo has such a good track record. They have faith the game will be good. The more bad games they release, the less confident consumers will be in the future giving games the benefit of the doubt.
And internal staff seemingly understand this, as it's been reported there is pushback against releasing it due to the potential harm it could bring on their reputation.

I remembered a lot of peoples hate Amiibo Festival but I like to play Amiibo Festival after get digging with the board games on it.
Also, I could use the gameplay system from Amiibo Festival for my own board games that being used for my Math Club activity and my students like my board games.
And if Nintendo make 1-2- Switch sequel with better gameplay and features, maybe it will not hurt the reputation as not everyone have interest to invest with 1st party Nintendo games like zelda or smash bros or metroid games. There is always the audiences for quirky / obscure games like 1-2-Switch.
New here and to the Switch, bought it for the family last week, got hooked to it.
The ease of use, the flexibility to play where you want in what ever fashion (TV, Handheld and a merit of controller options)
Wish i bought into the Switch 5 years ago
My 3 year old loves to kick my butt with nintendo sports swords game.
My 11 year old loves Tony Hawk 1&2
My wife loves Crash Bandicoot
And i really enjoy playing old Star wars games (currently TOR 1)
@Grumblevolcano
We'll see. If they're smart they'll either cancel it or add it to NSO, though I can't imagine many seeing that as "added value".
@Neintendo
Did you get the OLED model? Tony Hawk PS1/2 is excellent on Switch. As is Crash 4. You have so many great games to catch up on- Metroid Dread, DKC Tropical Freeze, Monster Hunter Rise, Zelda BotW, Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Triangle Strategy, Xenoblade Chronicles, etc. And if you like Star Wars, both Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II is on Switch. Oh, and shooters are so much fun on Switch with gyro aiming. Doom Eternal, Sniper Elite 4 and Zombie Army 4 are so much fun it's almost criminal.
