I haven't played this game and i'm almost to scared to. I bought it on sale so i'ts ready - but I don't know how much of a time hole it will be and if i'll feel guilty or ruin the game by not playing it for a while
Paper Mario is a maybe for me. I want to like it but i'm also worried I won't. I'll wait for more info/first impressions. All I need is for battling to not be pointless and i'll be happy - don't care if that's exp or whatever, just make it actually be worth doing. Then it's the long stare into the horizon of no more announced 'main IP' Nintendo games
@NintendoPok i pay £20 a year for NSO that I don’t use so what’s the difference. It’s such a small amount of money and I like having my shiny living Dex and 300 Deoxys ha
@Bl4ckb100d for me, it's resellability. A lot of Ninty games I get, play, and resell on to fund the next game I get. I obv keep a lot of them but eventually i'll sell on - or replace with digital option if I like it and it goes on sale #mariorabbids
@NintendoPok I use Home to store all my Mon from Bank and have been using the GTS to complete my Shiny Living Dex. I thought Sword was garbage and I got rid ages ago
I recently bought this on PS4 for £4. I will buy it on switch for gyro aiming alone (I assume that’s what they mean by motion controls). Especially is there’s a launch discount!
Ok, I care more now. But i'm still concerned that without exp, or some actual battle reward other than 'coins', then battling will become unnecessary and pointless like previous titles.
The lack of motivation for battling is the only thing that caused me to put down Color Splash back on the Wii U
I got it on PS4 for £8 back in March but haven’t played it so I was tempted to get on on Switch and properly give it a go. No gyro aiming has stopped me doing that and I guess I’ll just play it on PS4 eventually.
@andyc777 i'm OK with other battle systems - i'd prefer original and straight forward but whatever. What I can't get behind is a battle system, like in sticker star and colour splash that has no EXP therefore no actual reason to battle. I never finished CS as I got bored of it
Please have RPG elements in battles. If no EXP I quickly lose interest in all battling as it becomes meaningless to progression, and the whole game becomes a chore

Good thing I have such a backlog because I seem ot have no more games to buy this year for Switch... But sad how there's only 1 first party 2020 game for me on this console and that was AC
I'd love a tweak to the ladder item. I'd like to be able to place it next to a cliff so I can climb up and down without having to carry it/equip it each time. Maybe craft 8 or so ladders and dot them around some cliffs
@RainbowGazelle I'd rather this and have he game now rather than waiting for a few more months for it to be 'finished'. The game is essentially finished and entirely playable as is. Adding more features later is fine by me
During the Welcome Amiibo update I bought Moose cars from eBay and still have it. Nintendo didn’t profit from that one. However, I did buy the toon link Amiibo for breath of the wild as an NFC disc from Etsy...

Re: Datamine Reveals Just How Sly Redd Actually Is In The New Animal Crossing
I made a second character on my island to ensure I get a real from Reed each time... guess that’s not entirely possible.
However this explains how there seemed to be 2 real ones yesterday. Luckily I bought both.
