I'm a simple man. They confirm a western release of Monster Hunter XX switch version and I'm happy. I know I can just buy it from the Japanese E-shop but I'd rather not have to watch in-depth youtube videos so I know what the heck I need to do.
I'm excited for it and will definitely pick it up in November. It's Pokemon it's a no-brainer for me. I'm not looking forward to buying games for my Switch and my New 3DS XL but that's the life of a gamer I guess.
I'm really on the fence about it. My nephew really enjoyed it and wants me to buy it but I'm not sure I can justify buying it especially for an adolescent with a very short attention span. I can't count the number of full retail purchases I made because he really wanted it and swore up and down he'd actually play it just for him to go back to some pc game a week or two later.
I've been interested in this game since it's initial announcement and the little snippets of gameplay and previews I've seen and read have gotten me more excited. My wallet is not happy with me trying to buy games for my 3DS and my Switch though.
I will always be a fan of game slot covers, even ones that are hard to remove. I've had so many games pop out in my pocket because there wasn't something keeping them in.
I'm annoyed that they always seem to make revisions that would be much appreciated on the older models even when they are 'superior'. For instance I'd love to have the game card cover on my new 3DS xl and the camera placement for the front 2 cameras makes so much more sense. Honestly I'm tempted to give my new 3DS XL to my nephew and buy a new 2DS XL or at least trade it in towards one. The only real gripe I have with it is the hinge seems crappier.
As a former Target employee I can't ever step into one without thinking of the horrible way I and my fellow co-workers were treated by team leaders and upper management. I'll pass.
Zelda has stolen all my time but not that I've beat Ganon and almost finished all the shrines and memories it'll be time to go back to my one true love.
Up until a few days ago all I had was Zelda but that alone was worth the money since I don't have a Wii U. I've put so many hours into it and I'm loving the switch so much.
I will show my support for Playtonic by purchasing this game on as many Platforms as I can. Racist should be shunned and treated like the deplorables they are.
@KirbyTheVampire yeah back when black people had to sit on the back of a bus or use different restrooms and water fountains right? Those were the good old days for you weren't they.
I've started noticing issues with mine in LoZ. Link will randomly run off in the wrong direction for a minute. I notice it's when I'm playing docked and a few feet from the tv. In handheld mode or when I'm sitting on the floor in front of my tv closer to the dock it's fine.
I'm definitely going to be going physical mostly so I think 256 or 128GB would be way overkill. Also the joy cons separately and in the included grip feel good enough for me that I don't think I need to splurge on a pro controller. I probably will get a tempered glass screen protector to replace the one I have now at some point.
I don't agree with a lot of these but mostly because many of these things are not issues I have dealt with. I'm using my switch for gaming, don't need a web browser. I have a smart phone and a laptop for that. I haven't had any joy con issues or experienced dead pixels. My dock does not scratch my screen and I have a screen protector. I bought my switch knowing full well I was only going to have LoZ to play(although I might pick up RMX and Snipperclips) and that's been more than enough for me. I have other things I can play while I wait for more games. I have no need for extra controllers or accessories.
Considering the US dollar under our current president is probably going to drop in value in the next four years and the middle class will be decimated I don't think that goal will reached with help from US sales.
@RainbowGazelle How is requiring you have a second system and a device in which to transfer the pokemon(link cable, that weird semi-circle attachment, etc) considered free?
I've had no framerate issues. There is a slight lag when a Pokemon is fainting though but not a big issue. I have a new 3DS xl though. I just finished Mallows Trial and so far it's definitely shaping up to be one of my favorite games in the series.
Eclipse will come out just like Grey and Z. Also I seriously doubt Pokémon GO had a major impact on the sales of Sun aND Moon. If anything the success of Yokai Watch forced Gamefreak to really shake things up and the changes have been well recieved.
@dew12333 Supposedly the ally pokemon mechanic is replacing hordes, the more times a pokemon calls for help the greater chance you get of the allied pokemon having good IV's and being shiny. It's basically a chained double battle.

720p and 60fps is perfectly fine with me.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's Big Switch and 3DS Reveals at E3 on Day One?
No mention of Monster Hunter XX so it's just okay for me.

Re: Video: Get Ready For The Launch Of Ever Oasis With This Lovely Trailer
I will probably be getting this instead of Arms this month.

Re: Feature: The Switch Report - Three Months of Nintendo's New System
Yeah I haven't touched my switch in a while. I'm burned out from Zelda and Mario Kart just doesn't really hold my interest.
Re: Get Ready for a Pokémon Direct on 6th June
Honestly any kind of Pokemon game for the Switch would be appreciated. I'd like Stars to be a thing but I'll take some spin-off too.

Re: Capcom Unleashes Debut Trailer and Details on Monster Hunter XX for Nintendo Switch
I didn't like Generations and I think double cross is more of that.
Re: Level-5 Is Working On At Least One Nintendo Switch Game
Fantasy Life 3 please
Re: Video: Get Warmed Up for Ever Oasis With This Overview Trailer
I prefer the chibi art style, it's cute and why I like rpg's and jrpgs

Re: Poll: How Do You Play the Nintendo Switch - As A Portable, Home Console or Hybrid?
I probably use it 80/20 handheld and docked. I think I've done tabletop like three times since I got it at midnight on launch.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Breaks Series Records With US Launch Sales
I skipped the Wii U so I grabbed this and it's great in short burst. I don't see myself playing this for hours like I do BoTW.
Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July
They are going to need a damn good infographic in stores to break this down for potential buyers.
Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July
This is definitely...strange. I don't think it will affect Switch sales though. I mean couldn't you just get a new 3ds xl and disable the 3D?

I'm at 114 found on my own and I'm missing 6 shrine quest so I figured it was time to check out this guide.

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
I never owned a Wii U so I'll gladly buy ports.
Re: Poll: A Month of Nintendo Switch - Do You Think It's Heading for Success?

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Players Are Finding Inventive Ways To Beat Its Toughest Enemy
I love killing these guys because their weapons are pretty darn good, especially the bows.

Re: Video: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Overview Trailer Shows Off Shine Thief and Lots of Footage
I never got a Wii U but I have a Switch so I'm definitely picking this and Splatoon 2 up when they release.
Re: Feature: We Grade the Various Nintendo Switch Launch Complaints from the Web

Re: Don't Buy Another Switch Dock Just Yet
It's always strange reading about things like this because I've been buying Nintendo hardware for years and have never had any issues whatsoever.

Re: Nintendo Switch Lacks A Web Browser Because It's A "Dedicated Video Game Platform"
I only use the browser on my 3DS to connect to public wi-fi hotspots so I hope they have some way of doing this without a browser.

Re: Pikachu Yellow Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL Confirmed for North America
At least this Pikachu 3DS has better camera placement on Pikachu.
Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Overall Game of the Year
Pokemon Sun & Moon hands down. It's one of the best games in the series for me.
Re: Video: NFL Stars Richard Sherman and Johnny Hecker Kick in for Pokémon Promotion

Re: The Race is on to Catch 100 Million Pokémon in Sun and Moon
I'll start in this after work.
Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
60+ hours in and I just completed all seven trials. There is just so much to do in this game. It's definitely one of the best in the series.
Re: Pokémon Sun And Moon Sells Nearly 2 Million Copies In Three Days In Japan
I've had no framerate issues. There is a slight lag when a Pokemon is fainting though but not a big issue. I have a new 3DS xl though. I just finished Mallows Trial and so far it's definitely shaping up to be one of my favorite games in the series.
Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
Yeah I'm super skeptical of this.
