When Nintendo goes 110%, they remind everybody why they’re the best. The game is astounding because it’s so full of content. There’s without question I’m buying it Day 1.
@dugan Thanks for the reply. It does sound like a more relaxed game (maybe even more relaxed than Stardew Valley because there’s no rush to try to finish everything before the in-game day ends?) and I’m definitely open to a new experience, especially games that you can come back to again and again. I look forward to see what all the hype is about!
I haven't played any AC game so I'm excited for the new one.
But a question: If the game unfolds in real time, does one normally run out of things to do within, say, one or two hours straight of play time (based on previous games)?
@Kal_ Install the movie? I've never heard of that. You mean for the Wii to just play the disc as a DVD player would?
I would think there would be copyright issues if some sort of installation was involved. Because what would stop the renter from taking that same disc and installing the same movie on, say, another Wii? Weird!
No purchase this week. Still trying to finish FFVIII on the PS Vita in time for FFVII release on the Switch. Planning to buy the Chocobo game in the future, though. 🐥
Because of college and graduate school, I fell out of gaming. 1 year into my (then) new job, I was looking to get back into playing video games so, having loved Nintendo as a kid in addition to those brilliant ads for the Nintendo Switch that seemed to fit my new lifestyle (and it did, still does to this day), I knew I had to purchase the system on Day 1. Never looked back since. I look forward to its even brighter future.
@rjejr Die-hard fans, I guess. I tend to order the "Blue" version since that's the first one I owned. Exclusive 'mons don't really matter to me since I have family and friends who tend to get the "Red" version. We can trade easily.
@gutsdozier "Third, the method of learning abilities from items means that you're constantly hoarding equipment, never selling anything, so you're often short on money."
I just wish that the director and co-writer's oeuvre isn't such a mixed bag. I enjoyed "Goosebumps" but found "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Shark Tale" to be mediocre. I'll remain optimistic, but the trailers do not hint toward something deeper, something even remotely interested in exploring the lore of Pokemon.

@Anti-Matter Ugh! Earthlock. What a disappointment.
Re: Will Nintendo Add More Game Styles To Super Mario Maker 2?
I just watched the Direct. Wow.

Re: Review: Super Robot Wars T - Enjoyable Tactical Mecha Goodness For Returning Fans And Newcomers Alike
@Ralizah Nice! I’ve been waiting to revisit the series for years now. I have trouble finding it online (streaming). This anime and “Slayers.”

Magic Knight Rayearth the anime needs a comeback.
Re: JRPG Earthlock Is The Latest To Receive A Super Rare Games Physical Release On Switch
This is one of the more lackluster JRPGs I've played. I wouldn't buy it physical.

Re: The Detective Pikachu Movie Reviews Are In, And It's Actually Pretty Mixed
Looking forward to reviewing this film. I'm actually hyped about it!
Re: Random: Phew, The Internet Is Fixing That Terrible Sonic Movie Trailer
The writers need to fix the “jokes.”
Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?
I'd rather achieve in real life.
If people want it, and should Nintendo provide it, have at it.

Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Mortal Kombat 11 Running On The Nintendo Switch
If they were actually confident about their final product, they'd be more transparent. It might be a good idea to wait for reviews.
Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Will Have A $100 Premium Edition On Switch
There are other games to play.

Re: Nintendo Is The Ninth Most Reputable Major Company In The US, According To Study
Film reviewer here. I can attest that Netflix has gotten worse over the years. I've been a subscriber since 2003/2004.
Re: tinyBuild Digs Up Graveyard Keeper For Nintendo Switch
I’ve always wanted to use corpses as fertilizer. Now’s my chance!
Re: Reminder: Final Fantasy VII Finally Launches On A Nintendo System Today
Still playing through FF8 on the PS Vita. (I started about 3 weeks ago but my save file got corrupted before entering Lunatic Pandora on “Disc 3.”)
But I’m getting FF7 for sure. I haven’t played it since high school (mid-2000s), so I forgot most of what happened in the game.

Re: Feature: The Best Online Multiplayer Games On Nintendo Switch
I wish there was a way to report or ban so-called “squid parties.”

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 9th)
@Sahnec The soundtrack is fantastic. The songs are stuck in my head now.
Re: Fantasy RPG Azure Saga: Pathfinder Sets Course For Switch, Pre-Orders Now Live
It looks pedestrian. If it goes on sale for $1, I'd consider it.

Re: Video: Our Extended Reaction To The New Pokémon Games On Switch
It would be nice if Pokemon Bank were to get incorporated to the game before release. Not a month or so later.

Hopefully getting back to Hollow Knight (Switch). I got stuck in Crystal Peak a couple of months ago. ;(
