The game is like this so we can expect things and couldn't be spoiled completely by time travelers. I would have much rather this all have been in the full release but considering how rampant people are to spoil things before they naturally happen and enjoy it I'm not surprised.
@jrpacman I actually agree with you. It's kind of overwhelming for this event to be as long as it is with it taking up so much in the way of collecting resources and things.
I suppose my brother did. His old switch was broken and he got lucky and picked up the Animal crossing switch from walmart before his shift at 1pm. Before Animal Crossing he didn't really care to replace it.
I usually look at the new sales and just grab from whatever i have on my wishlist if it's tempting enough. Lol So nothing new for me unless I like the game's page when i read about them later.
Funny I got stung by a wasp too. Lol But yeah I'm playing Animal Crossing NH and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker this weekend and most likely the rest of the week too.
I'm not sure I fully understand how it would play out. Like is this just a one time only check after the events occur the first time and then we can view them as we wish or is this something that has to be checked every year? Because if its an every year update this game has less longevity in the event department than the other animal crossing games if they just stop doing this sometime down the line.
Murder By Numbers for the most part. Honestly I'm mostly counting down the days until Animal Crossing. I'm too stoked to play it at this point. Lol I can feel the excitement radiating off of me.
This game is a lot of fun to play. I still haven't finished the first case just yet, but I'm recording the gameplay along the way so a friend can watch me play it which makes it slow going. Overall, refreshing and the cast is a lot of fun to voice. As an avid Ace Attorney fan this is filling the void rather nicely.
Yeah, I was thinking Tortimer myself. It would be sad if so. I was little when i played AC on Gamecube. It'll feel like I lost someone i actually did grow up with.
@frogopus Yeah, I already know a lot of people will plan on doing that. Me though I like to be honest and going out of my way to lie just to retrieve data I should be able to do myself as I could with the 3DS still leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth. I don't want to be a liar just because while the ability obviously will exist in some way, shape or form, they don't want it to be broadly used.
Dumb. Short and simple. So basically I'm stuck with the switch I originally start a save file on. No deciding to go from a lite to a regular switch or to a pro model if that really will ever be a thing. Your town with poof and you'll be left to start over.
@Wargoose Sharing with my friends and family who also have a switch. That can't be done if the game is only on my system, which also makes digital games feel super expensive. And I get physical games for a little more than 20% off thanks to where i work.
Um...that's not ok. Overall Animal Crossing is a game very many, including myself, can invest hours into. New Leaf for me has over a 1000 and I have switched that data across different 3ds models over the years. If the Switch doesn't allow such a move where perhaps your switch has just worn down or you want to switch your data to a pro model if that happens down the line, with no cloud saves in place it really is a royally messed up case with very little reason for it. I'd much rather have my time and energy invested in the game safe over whatever excuse for a reason they have for potentially not even allowing data transfers as a possibility.
Considering its going to be a port of a game that has already been on the market, I think a lot of people feel more secure at this not just being a total risk and don't mind actually funding a copy.
I would love to get Steamworld Quest as it's the only one I need at this point, but I have to be strong and wait until i have a nest of extra funds first, especially now that I have to chip at my Animal Crossing switch deposit. Don't worry, I'll add you to the collection...eventually.
Wow...it looks like a straight copycat down to the position of the controller buttons. The Twitter post itself is also...fairly off-putting. The price of the switch is high in comparison to what? I highly doubt they are shooting to low ball this for anything under $500.
Well we did just have an indie direct. Considering how little there is on the horizon of first party titles by Nintendo, Animal Crossing aside, it would make sense for one to occur this or next month for sure.
I chose 626 for Stitch from Lilo and Stitch of course. Lol But this is so cool. I wondered if there was a meaning like maybe the number in the dex of a Pokemon with the typing of the gym and such. This is cooler however.
We finally get a mainline title for a home console and most of the beloved Pokemon we grew to know and love won't ever be on it. I just don't believe that they couldn't have added all the Pokemon for the first home console release. The switch is definitely more powerful than the 3ds and it would have been nice to have at least one game with every Pokemon available on a home console. There are some that say I shouldn't be disappointed, but with newer and better hardware the things they could have done to make catching them all for at least one last game would have been really exciting on the Switch. I can't hide that I am disappointed that it will never happen for a home console apparently.
@Ralek85
If the rules created by the developers are there in place, I feel as if the ones trying to make a living off of them should at least know that much and adhere to them even more. As someone else pointed out, they are in the limelight, and if a viewer of their content finds out they are cheating, it could destroy the whole reason those rules were there in the first place, with a lot complaining well I saw my favorite streamer doing it so how come nothing happened to them?
There is no reason why content creators should be above that because the developers saw a need for those rules in the first place to make sure every player has fun =equally= the same way. It's just not fair to anyone if, just because you profit more than I do, and I decide to do the same, I get subjected to the developers ban, but not the person who was doing it just because it's their profession. If they don't know enough to try to make content that's under the same rules as the ones watching their content, I don't see why anything should be bended for them, and I watch a lot of YouTube. It's more I believe fair is square and beneficial for the overall gaming community.
@KitsuneNight Being clumsy I suppose. The support pieces over the fan broke off, and it's like it's a little loose. It's annoying, but aside from that it works and plays fine and docks normally, and I always used a screen protector so that's in near perfect condition.
I kind of want one myself now. However, I still will wait a little more just in case they release a special bundle or limited edition down the line. I want it, but I don't need it. If anything, I need to upgrade my original model first before a handheld only model will be needed. It's a little broken on the top and splitting slightly. n.n;
It sucks that the retail version is ten dollars more than other versions for what is only slightly a lesser experience, but I'm glad that it holds up overall and can't wait to play my copy which should arrive today.
I also think that one bad review shot the game selling well on the switch in the foot too. A good reputation can so easily be turned to ash with just one ember. Plus, the other systems got remastered editions. If you own more than the switch, you might have just opted for that if the review made you wary, or if you prefer graphics over portability.
I am enjoying the game on switch. It's fun and the characters are indeed charming. Can't believe I went this long without playing it.
There should definitely be some sort of consequence to releasing games this way. Consumers pay money out of their hard earned pay checks to support developers, but in kind, developers should think more about the final product they release. Updates this far out should mean this title should have been delayed at the least. Nobody would want a brand new pair of shoes that had the seems fall apart as soon as they put them on, same with a video game. Quality should be a standard, not an eventuality.
The mystery genre is so rare, at least as far as being available on the kind of systems I own, that I welcome this with open arms. The art style grabs my attention, and the voice acting is icing. Hopefully, it's fun because I do plan to get it at some point for sure.
Yeah, there is definitely an overwhelming amount of games. I say bring it on because I've been looking forward to this. Heck, I might even want it more than LoZ.
