“Toggle”. I’ve always viewed the two games model as something that should simply be an option within one game. Same with certain features that don’t carry between generations.

My Walmart still get these more than regular switch consoles actually. I was checking the Switch section out within this past week and that’s what was in the case.

Apollo Justice was my first foray into the Ace Attorney world. I didn’t know about the predecessor games that came before, and that scruffy, sexy Phoenix had three whole games I could munch on(which I did of course, though slightly disappointed by the lack of scruff myself with his hey day looks). I found the idea of the game, solving a series of cases in court, to be right up my alley and bought it immediately and fell in love. I owe a lot to Apollo. His dorky side won me over, and thanks to him, I became a huge fan of the universe and characters. Klavier miiight have had something to do with that too.

I'll wait until after the Direct to decide juuuust in case there's one or two surprise drops I would have rather held out for, but I'm interested in Beast Breaker. I believe it's also on sale still.

I’ve been playing Eastward. I love it so much so far! The art work is lively. I love reading the chat bubbles for conversations, and the small bit of dungeon crawling I’ve done so far was simple, but fun to tackle (taking down slug nests). Definitely will be chipping away at this game for the better part of my day for sure.

One of the few I’ve been keeping my eye on. Glad it’s releasing soon!

The game looks like there’s some sailor moon like transformations, and probably imaginary. It looked like the battles disappeared completely once it was over, so these creatures are probably akin to fosters home for imaginary friends.

I don’t know. I’m not really a fan of these at all. They don’t feel authentic enough. Especially Jolteon. However, for those interested and like the look of these plush I’m glad you’re getting something that makes you happy.

When I was on Amazon earlier I was suggested to the physical actually. It’s page links with the physicals for the other systems too.

Eh, I stopped playing this months ago. Once I learned the seasonal events are locked year to year I was done. Including the pastimes you could get from past games like simply drinking a cup of coffee, or listening to Kapp’n singing his shanty’s, it’s literally just a island sandbox building game over the life sim game that had evolved into something you could go to an island and play mini games with friends or strangers with. Heck, the personality of villagers is nerfed. It’s half of what it used to be and it’s sad.

@NinChocolate Yeah, and for a time at least, it was one of the few games cheaper physically on Switch to boot over that of other consoles! I about fainted.

I probably wouldn’t archive. At least not for long. If it has to be archived then I need a bigger card ASAP. There’s going to come a point way down the line where the servers go down and what you have downloaded is all you’re gonna have from there on out. I try to keep big downloads as retail only and small downloads as downloads. Unless the price is super cheaper digital.

I used to be a diehard neopian. I learned about the stock market from the site. I entered art and writing competitions. I also learned how to do math faster trying to win trophies. However, my accounts got frozen last year and I give up on trying to get them back. Played since 2002 so for more than half of my life. It hurt at the time, but at least I still have Nintendo games I suppose.

Rune Factory 5 comes out next year?? Noooo! I was looking forward to it this year. It looks so fun from what I saw thanks to the Japanese trailers. Either way I can’t wait to play it!

My opinion is tough to voice, but it is part of a paid subscription service. Having used Nintendo products for years, it did suck to go from having free online to whatever this is. It still just feels so lacking overall as a service. Maybe because I don’t have full interest in a lot of the titles on offer, but I wish we had other console games to play besides just these two. There’s such a history of Nintendo content, i would like to explore more than NES and SNES for the rest of the Switch’s lifespan. Maybe some N64 and GC, or Wii. I still hope we get the Metroid Prime Trilogy in some capacity too.

I loved the first game. Seriously cannot wait for this to release. Hatching monsties and forming bonds with them and fighting together with them was a blast! Definitely my most anticipated game of the year pre-e3!

I agree with Juiceman. The amiibo is more akin to a cheat, NOT a QOL. The statues in the game already are the warp points. The amibo breaks game design and allows you to warp from the ground wherever you are and put you back at the point from where you warped when you're done in the sky. It's a busted move, a legal cheat, and that's why it's in amiibo form in the first place. It takes away the adventure, the moments of danger, if you can just decide to warp as you well and please.

What happened to the longer in a consoles life cycle we go, the slower the sales will become? Especially with the hot rumor mill of a switch pro on the horizon? People will say anything to make Switch sales lose legitimacy. When the switch started off, it too was hard to find on store shelves. This also means, yeah, ps5/XSX will obviously take off too, when they get to that point, but in the meantime, this is awesome success for a company that flopped so hard last gen.

@Snatcher
Oh, I agree with you there. Hopefully they did tweak the game in some regards like being able to completely skip Fi talk and other things that will help new and even returning players enjoy the experience even more. I do also agree that the price is completely ugly. It shouldn’t be any more than the 12 to 15 dollars amiibo averagely are. However, if this is a bigger amiibo like the guardian one I can understand why. If it’s not, then I’ll join everyone with my pitchforks and torches ready because then it’s obviously a cash grab and that would suck for them to do that.

@electrolite77
Yeah they totally could have, but at the end of the day it’s an option that we didn’t even expect to be in the game in the first place, nor is it one that is truly necessary to finish or complete the game. I’m just saying it doesn’t change the perspective I originally had since it’s not something they removed from the original framework and tied to the amiibo. It’s simply an option that makes the overall game even easier than it kind of was in the first place.

@Snatcher
I’m not defending it fully, but I can see Nintendo’s perspective on it. Zelda is an adventure game. A feature that allows you to zip a do and da as you please is not a feature I would want to be a button press away from me at all times. You really aren’t the audience for this game if you really want a feature like that so badly. To return to the place you exactly were in the dungeon. So right before a boss you can stash up freely if you wanted to. Like it’s a handhold feature. It wasn’t in the game before and as far as I can see it’s basically like having a cheat code. I see the amiibo as a fun little gimmicky way of doing it, but yeah having it as an option in game just kills completely the dungeon aspect of the game and that would be for every single person playing it if it was. This is more an out of game way of doing it while keeping the core experience there.

This doesn’t really upset me. A feature that kind of breaks the adventure feel of a Zelda game is locked behind a paywall. I can see why they thought it would be okay to attach it to the amiibo. Getting to soar off mid dungeon? I thought everyone wanted games to challenge them, and not handhold them the whole way through? But if you want that get the amiibo. I’m okay playing it clean traditional.

I’m okay with my animal crossing switch. Just keep the games flowing. Lol Of course if there is a new one I’ll be suckered to getting it because that’s the sort of fan I am, but until then I personally enjoy my experiences on my current switch model so content is me presently.

Calling it a collection gave people hope. Collection sounds like more than two to a lot of people.

I actually really enjoyed this game growing up. Never played either of the other two though, and even more I wouldn’t pay over 15 dollars for it. That’s probably exactly how much I paid for the GameCube version.

@WindWaker95
Yeah, like I said it’s a sandbox game. I can voice my opinions. It’s a game of continuous updating, crafting a town of cookie cutter characters, main goal being a decorating star. It was fun...at first. You can’t craft multiples. Speaking of multiples, you can invite more people to your town, but to what end? The games they gave you in new leaf to enjoy with people around the world in some way, if not just your friends, doesn’t exist. As someone who enjoyed every previous animal crossing I can say as I wish. If you’re going to be rude, don’t tag me. Voicing an opinion isn’t a crime.

Oh, and for those saying, “But you want shop upgrades which will simply give you more of the dreaded items???” Its akin to going shopping in a store as opposed to buying something online. Shops breathe life into the game. It makes it more of an interesting place to explore. Seeing faces and allowing those people to actually move in at some point was a nice draw for bringing me back again and again. It’s not that New Leaf is better. It is dated, but there was more a feeling of life to it, with NPCs and multiplayer, if you weren’t a massive decorator, and New Horizons shines more if that’s your thing.

As someone else just mentioned, the big draw of new leaf vs new horizons was the multiplayer content that you unlocked on the third in game day of moving in. If this game used the dock to allow us to do the same with our friends via Kappn, then I wouldn’t say that New Horizons feels like a sandbox collecting game. Rather with friends or strangers on the internet, I had a blast for over a 1000 hours on New Leaf thanks to it, and the shop upgrades/slow progression being the same as the slow updates New Horizons has thanks to trying to stop time travelers from spoiling the game. Any and all updates have destroyed any reason to own a physical copy of this game to the ground. A lot of basic stuff was simply there for one to discover, on cart in New Leaf. Of course, to each their own, but it’s why I feel as I feel, and why I haven’t played New Horizons in a long while. My real friends stopped playing it, unlike how we had fun with the things to do in new leaf, and I lost interest more and more, especially with all the other games that come out on switch to engage with.

Well awesome. I already preordered the physical. Nice to know it’s worthy of sitting on the shelf.

I really want to try momotaru dentetsu, but sadly I’m nowhere near ready to read that level of Japanese.

The pictures don’t even feel real. It’s like a magical place in a realm outside our own.

Later Alligator and Signs of the Sojourner for sure. I do want to try out Plants vs Zombies too, but that would be physical.

Synergia also interests me, so I might throw that into the mixing pot for good measure.

This game is still sooooo lacking in content it’s crazy. Where’s an island tour at when you need it? Or all the myriad of old faces we still have yet to see? The island is so much more condense than any other game. It’s simply a sandbox. The mobile like updates suck when New Leaf released with so much content on the cart out the gate.

Amalur sometime down the line for sure. Possibly Crash 4 as well. I may get anxiety if I can't 100% complete it though.

It’s pretty expensive for my budget, but cool to hear that it was successful. The sets do have a lot of charm to them.

@TheLightSpirit
Apologize for terriermon’s adorableness? Pfft, never! Thank you! Thinking about it now, Terriermon’s catchphrase ‘momentai’ means “take it easy”, which is also something that Mario has said from time to time.

I...never fully understood the complaints. Cedar Point is going to have their 150th year celebration(postponed sure), but will they celebrate it and sell the merch in stores forever? No! Super Mario 35 was done in the same way, just held differently because it's a video game franchise, and not a visit to an amusement park or museum that would make a limited time exhibit for a short amount of time. I understand why they are doing it. It was Mario's 35th! The fact that everyone else is holding pitchforks and complaining when it was ALWAYS described as an anniversary celebration and announced from the start. Yeah, that I don't get at all.

The fact that the developer put so much time and effort into making a moving work of art means that I’ll most likely buy and support this reviews be darned. It’s so beautiful and peaceful.

Now this is love.

I like the style, so I’ll mostly likely get it when it releases.

Sucks that story of seasons doesn’t seem like it even deserves the position in its current state. I am happy for BV2 however.

Gnosia is fun so far!! I would recommend it. It's fun deciding who is lying to pick off everybody one by one each loop. Will also pick up Sea of Solitude at some point as well.

I actually like the art style. Just curious to know if they are truly simply remakes or will they have added content.

I enjoyed it. I was super geeked when it was revealed Famicom detective club was being localized and I was taken off guard at the beginning where I assumed Xenoblade 2 was having its own version of a sequel. It was a nice way to start the presentation.

Yeahhhh. Good luck I suppose. I think you’ll need lots of it.

7.5 out of 10. Too much red. Should be more blue. Like the dock could have been blue and the switch red or vice versa.

I've been working on my 3ds collection of physical games the last few months, but I do still play Animal crossing online here and there. New Horizons didn't scratch the itch enough for me for some reason. I just really love island tours. lol

Personally, no thank you. We don’t have a Halo game to play on a Nintendo console, so why would he ever join Smash? Banjo Kazooie was at least on a Nintendo console in the past. Even Joker was in q2 on 3ds. This...feels like a stretch on the best of days.

@MisterDevil
Still the same honestly. Load times are very long and there are glitches throughout the game, though I haven’t ran into any game breaking ones. It’s not something I would recommend to anyone, but somehow I do find enjoyment out of the experience. Lol

As glitchy as My Time At Portia was on switch its my most played game of 2019. Lol I had a lot of fun and enjoyment with this title and will look forward to the sequel too.
