I doubt I was going to get the game anyway but this is the final nail in the coffin. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised Nintendo didn't just go all-out on GKCs from the start, considering it'll only have been 9 months between the switch 2 launch and pokopia releasing. Maybe it was to gradually ease us into the idea of them? As if we'll have eased up on them after 9 months and 4 non-GKC exclusives? Idk anymore, I'll probably go all-digital on switch 2 anyways.
Looks great so far, can't wait to see more of it in the direct. My only hope for it is that there's more references to nintendo's past as those were my favourite part of the first movie.
Also, they're really gonna slap a direct label to anything huh? I think this is the 10th "direct" this year but idk I lost count
Todays my birthday, so won't be doing much. Tomorrow, though, I'll probably start Hades 1 and make some more progress on Metaphor: ReFantazio and maybe a bit of Smash Ultimate in between. Happy gaming! 😄
Won't be a buy for me. Used to play the series up until FIFA 23 and since the name change I've never really had a reason to go back, and that is looking to be the same here. Besides Fantasy Premier League is enough to keep me occupied anyway.
Definitely USA for me. The more in-your-face one is so much better as a representation of Wario, whereas Japan looks clean and tidy, the anti-Wario. (But the actual anti-Wario works as a literal plumber so it wouldn't suit him either? Idk my brain hurts)
Persona 4 Golden, as well as a bit of Mario Kart World. As well as these, I'll be playing a bit of Balatro on switch 1, Smash 3DS and maybe Metaphor: ReFantazio on PS5 if I find the time.
I've given up trying to speculate anything at this point. I really don't know what they're trying to pull here, but I'm just going to hope they say something soon so that I can stop checking my phone for news every minute.
My brain is telling me to go North America because it overall is a better depiction of the game but come on Japans box art is something special that you very rarely see. The wooden feel is just so charming imo.
Tbh I don't really care about a meaningful story. It would be nice, but I'd rather have more characters, good new locations and a good soundtrack. The references were my favourite part of the last movie so I'd like to see those kept up.
I'm more of a physical guy, I like borrowing and trading games with friends and getting them second-hand. I'd say that 80% of my switch library is physical and I'd say the majority of that 80% is either second-hand or gifts.
Recently got Gravity Rush Remastered on my PS5 and I find it to be quite fun! Also trying to platinum Spider-Man 2 as well. My switch is taking a back seat for a while.

Really excited for this one, picking it up as soon as possible. The characters look charming and the gameplay looks satisfying. Can't wait!
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th November (North America)
Definitely getting Demonschool day 1. Came across it while browsing through the eShop once and it looks right up my alley.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle And The Millionaires' Conspiracy (Switch)
Europe/NA this week as I think it shows off more of what the game has to offer while looking better overall as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (27th September)
Todays my birthday, so won't be doing much.
Tomorrow, though, I'll probably start Hades 1 and make some more progress on Metaphor: ReFantazio and maybe a bit of Smash Ultimate in between.
Happy gaming! 😄

Persona 4 Revival? Maybe? No? (sigh) a man can dream...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th July)
Persona 4 Golden, as well as a bit of Mario Kart World. As well as these, I'll be playing a bit of Balatro on switch 1, Smash 3DS and maybe Metaphor: ReFantazio on PS5 if I find the time.
Happy gaming! 😊

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From The Next Super Mario Bros. Movie?
Tbh I don't really care about a meaningful story. It would be nice, but I'd rather have more characters, good new locations and a good soundtrack. The references were my favourite part of the last movie so I'd like to see those kept up.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time
NA/EU by far and away. They put a lot more effort into it and it looks better as a whole.

Yeah gonna go drums on this one for the satisfaction alone.
Re: Talking Point: What Would Make You Happy To Give Up Physical Games And Go 100% Digital?
I'm more of a physical guy, I like borrowing and trading games with friends and getting them second-hand. I'd say that 80% of my switch library is physical and I'd say the majority of that 80% is either second-hand or gifts.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 24th)
Persona 5 Royal and Splatoon 3's side order, both of which I'm really enjoying.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
It was not great imo. Nothing really made me go "Wow, that looks brilliant!" 4/10, would have been a lot higher if I was Japanese.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 17th)
Just finished up with Super Mario Galaxy and now turning my attention towards finishing off Gravity Rush Remastered.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Inazuma Eleven Strikers
Europe on this one, the background is better while still showing off all it needs to show off.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 10th)
Still at Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
North America for me. You could slap Japan's one on any TNMT thing.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct, Then?
And for the people expecting switch 2, did you really think Nintendo was going to kill their final holiday sales of the switch?
