I'm still on the fence about yoshis crafted world.
@Kalmaro same here
@auck @Kalmaro I am playing it now and enjoy exploring the levels and finding all the red coins, flowers, etc. However, I can see why that doesn’t appeal to some.
I am close to finishing it 100% and have played it for about 30 hours.
@Kalmaro Yoshi's Wooly World is better imo I don't use the costumes much
@Kalmaro Me too, but I think this lowered price finally pushed me over. Everything else I either already have or, in the case of NSMBUD, am not interested in.
I am blessed to already have the games on this list that I would want.
No complaints from me.
This time.
@Bret It is a good sale. I bought Yoshi used and paid a little bit more than this sale price.
Does anyone recommend Mario Tennis Aces at this price?
@Tandy255 if you got people to play it with who like mario tennis, even if they’re far away (actually lets you do doubles online against randoms with a friend), it can be a good time. And the story mode is fun enough, but limited (don’t know why the mario character requirement is there.... and not even a new game plus option to switch character after beating it)
@Heavyarms55 Someone on the internet who refuses to complain? What parallel universe is this?
Mario Maker 2 and Splatoon 2 are must-haves at $40.
But Nintendo games are never on sale, remember? Derp.
This a good slashing, too. Certainly MM2 with the amount of content for that price.
@Tandy255 it's really good, but not as good as whooly world. Also the depth Field trick is neat, but the low resolution makes it look fuzzy on my 92" screen. I wish I could turn off the DOF feature. Game also dips low on resolution in some areas.
@Kalmaro @auck If you're considering for platforming, pull the trigger. It's pretty great. I was on the fence and scooped it on sale a while back, worth it. It's clever, handles beautifully and is super cute.
And, if you're a completionist, there's some end game content for you. It's not particularly difficult, but still a good time. (Though if you're looking for difficult 2D platfomers and haven't yet, Country Freeze is even better)
@RPGamer it’s supposed to be the same on Amazon too, but when I checked the deals were not there.
@Tyranexx This time. Lol
@Tandy255 if you’re into sports games in general. If you want try it out just because, I highly suggest against it. Pretty boring honestly.
Obviously I'm not seeing something but why these prices are not the same for the Digital downloadable code from Bestbuy?
Mario Maker is definitely worth it! Heck, that's one of the main reasons I clicked on this
Man if this sale were physical and eShop I'd pick up Yoshi... but I don't want any more game cards. I leave Ring Fit Adventure in the system at all times.
@Tandy255 I think it is pretty fun!
@auck @Kalmaro
Yoshi's Crafted World is cozy and engaging, but personally I feel like it's more AA level gaming, and not quite worth the full $60. The sale price seems worth it depending on your priorities.
It's definitely more of a breezy experience, and not as polished or snappy as Odyssey. However, Yoshi is very cute and the overall experience is meant to charm rather than engross, similar to the selling points of Origami King.
IMO, the biggest flaw of Crafted World is Unreal Engine itself: performance can be lacking, especially in the hub world, which just feels sluggish.
@Ulysses Even at that price, I'm still on the fence. It looks more like a $20 game to me.
I cannot save $$$$$$$
But I can save €€€€€€€ if you want
@Kalmaro $40 is a good price for it imo. It's slight, but definitely underrated just a smidge
Was hoping Tropical Freeze would be part of this sale. I think it has only hit $40 once before.
Good price for Splatoon. Tried the others but they were just not for me.
@Kalmaro Sorry to add to all of you notifications but have you tried the demo out for it on the eShop? If you enjoyed that then picking this up might be worth it for you.
@Tourtus Haha, notifications don't bother me. I'm not too I'm a rush to get the game so it's fine. My backlog is massive!
@aznable awesome, what’s your feedback and experience been with ring fit? I think it’s a blast and am incredibly impressed at the level of workout it actually provides! I’ve had a hard time keeping a regular schedule with it though, which isn’t so much a commentary on the game as it is on my discipline. Lol
@Ks123 I enjoy it, ever since I'm back at work though (2 weeks now) I haven't found time where I'm energetic enough to play it/exercise through it.
Generally it's pleasant, if a little condescending in the "awesome job! so powerful!" domain. Like, I'm jogging in place, ring. I'm jogging in place. Just tell me to keep up the speed or something. No need to tell me my sweat is so beautiful and shiny.
Also, it's a nice ADDITION to a workout regimen, and I imagine for the vast majority of Americans (like me) who are terribly sedentary, it feels like moving mountains... but for someone who is already in somewhat ok shape, RFA isn't enough to break any personal boundaries. Still need weights and cycling, in my experience.
Worth the money Nintendo is asking, which I paid as I found a rare copy at a walmart near me. I would NOT buy it on the second hand market where people are charging 3x the price, at least.
