For the love of all that is good, PLEASE being Star Fox Assault to NSO. That multiplayer was incredible. If that had online support, that would be reason alone to keep me forever subscribed to NSO.
I'm sorry, but these statements like "Nintendo isn't innovative enough" drive me up the wall. Like, are you serious? Nintendo is bridging the gap between console and PC gaming with mouse controls. They did gyro first, HD rumble first, mainline hybrid consoles first. The list goes on and on. In terms of innovative, Nintendo is MILES ahead of their competition. What did Sony and Xbox bring this generation? Better lighting and faster load times, and bunch of soulless sequels and live-service games? These kind of statements make me so mad. 😮💨 I'll get off my soap box.
@Khwarezm89 I'm still working through how much to add, but for my Nintendo Account, I have a credit card that gives me cash back on every purchase. One of the cash back options is to turn my points into Nintendo digital gift cards. That's what I've started doing.
I've started adding funds to my Nintendo and Steam accounts, and not spending more than I've allotted myself. It's helped me to really prioritize the purchase I actually want to make.
That launch was a horrendous. I was trying for 2 hours before everything sold out. I successfully ordered one from Target, but then immediately got a cancelation email from them. I kept trying at multiple retailers, but I didn't get one. :/
I would love to ask the community, how story-driven is this game, specifically the Switch version? I've never play a Xenoblade game before, and I have a difficult time committing to a game this long if the story doesn't carry the experience. Would this be a good place to hop into the series?
I would have bought this without hesitation a few years ago, but I'm holding on buying anything for my Switch until the Direct and we know more about the Switch 2.
Z-A's battle mechanics look a lot like Ni No Kuni's battle mechanics... which is a game that came out 15 years ago. Like, I'm glad Pokémon is trying something new, but I have a hard time getting excited about a game that looks and plays like a game from literally 15 years ago.
This is so odd, but I, out if the blue, had a dream last night about the direct. They announced Toon Link as a character in the new Mario Kart, which was then a segue into announcing Wind Waker coming to Switch 2. I guess my subconscious is more excited about this than I thought. Hahaha!!!

I mean, it's a really easy UX fix. Just stack the menu two or three high depending on how many echoes they've unlocked. Better yet, allow for folders and pinning favorites to the top.
Yeah, ever since the Switch 2 rumors started ramping up about a year or so ago, I completely stopped buying Switch accessories. Just waiting for the new console.

Re: Video: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Switch 2's GameCube Controller
I really don't see why they couldn't have made an L button that was identical to the R button. I don't think anyone would have been mad about that.

Re: Japanese Charts: The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy Storms To The Top
I'm planning on picking up The Hundred Line, but I'm going to wait for a sale. With today's economy, I can't hardly ever buy games at full price.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Mario Party 3
I was torn between U.S. and Japan, but I love how open the Japan box art looks and feels. I love the subtle nod of them being on a board.

Re: The Hundred Line's Script Is Long Enough To Print 60 Paperback Novels
I really do want to play this game, but spending full price on a game is a lot these days.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: 1080° Avalanche
Oh gosh, the Japanese cover is terrible. The only imagery on the case is a shot of a dude's butt. Who the heck green-lit this?
Re: Nintendo Today Video Showcases The New Switch 2 Pro Controller
Please oh please, I hope they fixed that d-pad.
Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)

So, like, is Nintendo even ready for launch in a month?...
Re: Feature: The Switch 2 Sticks Might Not Be Hall Effect, But They Feel Fantastic
I'm sure it's great, but there is no way on this green earth that I'm going to spend $85 on a controller.
Re: Gallery: Fresh Mario Kart World Screenshots Give Us Our Closest Look Yet At The New Racers
@OldGamer999 For what it's worth, I didn't vote for the expensive orange.
Re: Gallery: Fresh Mario Kart World Screenshots Give Us Our Closest Look Yet At The New Racers
The game looks so much wackier than I thought it could ever be, and I am here for it 100%. Now here's hoping it even releases in the U.S. 😮💨
Re: Here's Why Switch 2 Joy-Con And Pro Controllers Don't Have Analogue Triggers
I don't really care about the triggers. For me, if they didn't fix that d-pad, then this thing ain't worth a dime.
Re: Nintendo Understands Switch Owners May Not Be "Ready To Jump To Switch 2"

Re: Switch 2 Filings Show Support For Wi-Fi 6
I mean, heck, the PS5 uses wifi 6, so no complaints there for a little handheld like the Switch.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Ninja Gaiden III: The Ancient Ship Of Doom (NES)
I get Cowboy Bebop vibes from the Japanese cover, and I kind of love it.
Re: Opinion: Legends Z-A's Xenoblade-Style Battles Are Pokémon's Most Exciting Evolution In Years
Z-A's battle mechanics look a lot like Ni No Kuni's battle mechanics... which is a game that came out 15 years ago. Like, I'm glad Pokémon is trying something new, but I have a hard time getting excited about a game that looks and plays like a game from literally 15 years ago.

Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo's Thinking About Affordability With Switch 2 Pricing
$400 is the sweet spot, but, here in the U.S., the orange man might throw a massive wrench in that plan.
