@MamaSymphonia Ah well, it's a home console that you can take on the go. This was the careful distinction they made when Switch 1 launched. I know it seems like 6 of one, half-dozen of another, but conceptually, it's a little different. Obviously, your point remains though and is very valid.

"A real toe-poker." Hahahahaha!

Ugh, this is awesome to hear. I've played DW games here and there over the years, but I've never owned one and been able to really go through it. This sounds like a fantastic entry then into the franchise. I love hearing that it plays really well, the combat sounds like it actually takes some skill and strategy, and the game looks quite good, too! This review was enjoyable to read. It has gotten me properly excited for this, and now I must add it to my rapidly growing (but already far too long) Wish List. Thanks for writing and sharing with us!

Guys...

Onion. Shoelace. Malpractice.

!!!

@Yosher Are there really cheap, colorful Fisher-Price watches??

@UpsideDownRowlet Haha okay, good.

@rvcolem1 He has a strong character and story base that they can just iterate and build on for a long time. I think that's why the franchise has survived as long as it has - no offense to Sonic fans. Mario has kind of had that, too, though Mario himself didn't have as definable of a character for a little while. Sonic's always been a little cocky and daring and all that. Anyway, I get it.

@BrewsterTea Ha! I hope they know I was completely joking.

@UpsideDownRowlet I was only kidding. Glad you like the soundtrack. I guess I was mocking all the vitriol about it.

Wow, I forgot how large N64 boxes were.

@SBandy1 Gosh, that's what I was thinking.

@Vyacheslav333 Or use Japanese PCs!

@TerribleTerabytes I agree with you. I think we've been conditioned to expect that because of the internet and sales. And constant negative discord around the topics.

Appreciate the review from ol' "Meat Eyes" McGinty. A bit of a bummer, but I guess I could sense that from the announcement. I'll still upgrade though, because I may as well get the full use of Switch 2. I also suspect that if they get enough support and new/returning users for ACNH, Nintendo may give us even more yet. They've been trying to build buzz and get people back in the game for months now.

@JaxonH Why they failing though? Bobby Kotick should buy them and then sell them.

Five million? They have THOSE??!?

These updates should have been in the game when it launched. 0/10.

@Vyacheslav333 Ouch, that stinks.

@ottoecamn Just joshing. But I appreciate the explanation. I suspected that was the case: something to do with the eShop art. I'm glad you're pointing that out!

I'm not Madden, I'm just disappointed-en.

Is this to explain the censorship of Dispatch?

@FuzzieGinge88 Well, a lot of people considered the RE4 Wii Edition to be the definitive version for a while, even though that system's graphical capabilities were not as robust as other consoles.

Since the release of S1, my overall most-played game was Arena of Valor - over 400 hours! I like LoL, so I thought I would try that on Switch. It was actually a great game and super well tuned for the device. Unfortunately, they dropped support for it after like, a year or something. I think I kept playing for a while afterwards, but yeah. It was quite fun while it lasted.
ACNH got over 200 hours - wow!

"Perfection" in Stardew Valley? Is that an achievement or something? She called it a milestone. I haven't played much of the game.
What does Perfection entail? It sounds difficult.

Oooooooooooooh!!!!!

They added foil??! Shiny!

Well, they had a good run.

@UpsideDownRowlet How does it feel to know that you've had the wrong opinion this whole time?

@anoyonmus Sarcasm? Never heard of her. Why?

Do you guys think they'll finally reveal Leon? I mean, we all know he's gonna be in this, am I right?

We've got another stable genius in the house!

@atepa So it's YOUR fault!

@TripleJump I'm just being silly. Yeah, game naming is all over the place.

Okay, but this is important:

Wii Sports [original] or Wii Sports Resort?

@Yosher I know, right? Seems sad if no one sees their families for the holidays.

@FreasurePlanten Hmm, what defines a journalist? This isn't The New York Times, but I'd say it's far more legitimate and substantial than some "fan site," as you say. Perhaps even more so now with its new(er) parent network. They get codes from and interviews with developers, including Nintendo. So it seems like Nintendo thinks they are journalists.
And plenty of publications run those stories. The video game news circuit is fueled by speculation and hearsay. Let's let those pearls breathe a little, maybe.

@TripleJump It'd be pretty hard for a rational person to confuse those two.

The trio one is pretty cool. But no way in hell am I paying that much for it. That's my hurdle with LEGO sets. That and I don't know what I would want to do with them after building. Shame. :/

@Twilite9 Well, I'll leave it to the actual journalists to decide for themselves.

@Twilite9 As I understand it, responsible journalists cite their sources. And with social media posts, it can be easier for readers to just see the post for themselves. But I don't know, maybe they'll change the way they do things going forward.

I think it will be called "Persona X [6]."

@Twilite9 I don't think Nintendo uses other social media channels, besides Facebook and Instagram. NL is merely using what they've got to work with.

Why didn't all the participants just get together for the holidays?

It's not about preserving the business. It's just about squeezing every last cent they can from it before they put it out to pasture. Or it dries up and catches the wind.
See Kmart/Sears for a US parallel.

@SplatRay001 Hi! Welcome to Nintendo fandom! We hope you enjoy it here with the rest of us.

I'm gonna say that this isn't going to be the big update we think it could be. It will probably be something we'll think is silly after the fact. But I'd like to be wrong!

Yeah, but when is the next Mario game coming out?

An Expansion of Surprise!

[Missed opportunity]

Cool, thank you! I'll try this out.

Okay, next issue we need to tackle:

With a thumb like that, she is not fit to be a mother! Let's let her know it!

@MamaSymphonia What is "god?????"

@Serena_ Okay, good! I'm inclined to agree with you, especially given your reasoning. I just always think it's tough for Nintendo fans to get these sorts of snippets from interviews as if developers might throw them a bone or something. But there's more to it.
