@SolBlazer Heh! That was a literal translation, but when you think about it, there are other types of CDs you could listen to while driving in the car—audio books, language learning courses, and so on 😅
@chipia As a Sunday composer myself, I absolutely love how often Bach keeps coming up during the VGM Fest. It just goes to show he’s the composer’s composer…!
The website of Nintendo Japan says almost exactly the same thing. My painfully literal translation: "[The Nintendo Switch (OLED model)] is compatible with all Nintendo Switch software. However, from the fact that the console and screen sizes differ between the Nintendo Switch (OLED model) and the Nintendo Switch, there will be differences in gameplay experience in some of the Nintendo Labo series. Even in non-Nintendo [published] software, there may be cases in which differences in gameplay experience occur." I wish they would just tell us whether or not the VR googles still work...!
BOTW in VR mode is actually one of my favorite experiences on the Switch. I’m not willing to give that up. And considering I play in docked mode 95% of the time anyway, I’ll probably hold out until the inevitable revision in 2023.
@AG_Awesome Chris did a thorough breakdown of the changes he made in a post on his Patreon blog—definitely worth a read. I wish I could review the definitive edition in light of the original release myself, but it doesn’t sound like it will be coming to Japan where I live for a while longer.
@dimi Realistically, if you live outside Japan, buying them secondhand online either as used goods or brand new from a dirty scalper might be your only hope. Amazon.co.jp and Rakuten.co.jp would be good places to start your search. Just paste "どうぶつの森 ともだちどーる" into the search fields and be prepared to get fleeced. Good luck!
Chris is a really sweet guy! I had a short but friendly email exchange with him a couple of years ago to ask if the version of his game on the Japanese eShop could be updated to include other translations. I like to play games in both Japanese and English, so it bums me out whenever there is only one language option available. He said he too wished the game could include every translation available but the decision was ultimately his publisher's. Still, he promised to raise the issue with them again. Although I hate the idea of double dipping, if purchasing the definitive edition means I can finally replay the game in English, I'll be happy to support him and his new publisher. I can vouch from personal experience that he cares about the people who play his games.

Maybe I’ve lived in Japan for too long, but I think Triangle Strategy is an awesome name!
