Nobody came to Julian’s party

Ah darn, I assumed I had bought the offline modes. Now I can’t. That’s too bad.

I really wish they could just make it work offline to use locally with the 3DS games beyond its online functionality

Ah cool, very seasonal. I mean, not in game, because it’s spring, but eventually.

well that sucks, I was hoping they would last a few good more years

What’s up with Yoshi’s boots in the American one

Oh it’s actually sounding like quite a large update, that’s cool

Of course!

In the tutorial.

@LEGEND_MARIOID I honestly used the shield more as a transportation and general use tool than as… a shield… during my playthrough.

Hot? Take the sapphire shield out. Cold? Use the ruby shield. Going downhill? Oh I have a shield with wheels for that! Want some extra elevation? Pick one from the pile of shields that make you go up.

The Hudson shield is for formal events.

Rocket shielding, the safest method of transportation

@FirstEmperor I suppose it's likely it'll reuse the same voice clips, like Thousand Year Door.

@FishyS well yeah he wasn’t playable originally, but that kind of doesn’t define how canon a character is. Nabbit is very much part of the “story” of the game he debuts in.

Yeah, with Peachette there would be more of an argument, being an easy-mode power up form added in a re-release (though she’s technically just Toadette).

@FishyS wasn’t Nabbit canon from the start…?

I seem to recall Nabbit was a major new character/enemy in NSMBU

@SteamEngenius @Joeynator3000 the game is made for a very specific, and fairly popular, online show for kids.

It’s not a generic “Barbie” game, it’s a “Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures” game… so it looks that way… because that’s how the show looks.

@samuelvictor I believe it’s meant to be a reference to the fact that Barbie herself can be purchased in different body types, facial molds, and skin tones…. But still as “Barbie”. With the first and most important of these variants being the standard African American Barbie.

In-universe, it seems they became friends because of the coincidences.

Teresa is now a science lover?

@LikelySatan maybe these games are all also missing the title of the game in the icon?

Honestly, prior to The Sims 2 Pets (which was awful), handhelds would get the better The Sims spinoff games.

@LexKitteh outside of a few obvious 3D objects (like the pigs), it's kind of easy to tell the game was meant to be paper craft back then too, it just wasn't very possible to make it look convincing or good, so they relied more on cartoony textures to complement it. They've just cranked the natural paper look up to 20 in the remake, to fall in line with the recent games in the series.

@Nanaki well, you’ll still have the app… unless they restrict access to it as well

@FirstEmperor if you take a look at the Pokédex, the entire Paldea dex is there waiting to be filled in. While Galar’s section is tiny and sad.

@SykoMuffin yes, they already came in colors that complimented New Horizons (turquoise and yellow), because the Lite released during the pre-release hype for the game, and the Pink one came out alongside the game itself.

So you could say these colors were already kind of Animal Crossing-adjacent, this just solidifies it further.

Poor gen 8. Skipped unceremoniously.

@HenryKibble depends on the game, for most games yes. For games like Pokemon and (ironically) Animal Crossing, no.

You can manually transfer save data between consoles, or use the switch online subscription to get automatic online backups that can be quickly downloaded to your consoles.

@graviton that particular shade of pink is also a rather popular color for men’s shirts too

They forgot to announce a special sale to celebrate the success

A cherished childhood memory: sneaking into the vineyard and drinking unlimited amounts of free wine, to train your character’s liver for the new years event, and making every person in town leave the party drunk

I can’t imagine using this app without the Plus+ accessory.

With it, it’s pretty great. I’ve been using it for over a month now, and it did manage to make me follow more consistent bed times.

The alternate dimension Sonic

@Tarolusa they simply love adding asian elements to all their regions. Even Unova had a little village that was like taken from feudal Japan.

Generation 8 is getting an unusual amount of love with this DLC

Wario's "Excellent" did sound somewhat different in that trailer. It's surprising how none of us even suspected anything.

@NorthwestEagle according to the FAQ section on their site, yes, it can be set to function as either stick, or the dpad on the go using a button combination.

@Desrever seems to be his signature color according to the amiibo

Oh my gawd. This one looks like their Lite controller (my favorite for traveling), but tiny! I love it!

Their Zero controller did really suffer from the lack of Z buttons, and the Home/Screenshot buttons. I think I'll be ordering this one to replace my Zero.

I really wish they added the ability to “block” certain developers so they stop appearing on your browsing.

It feels like they give a gastrodon after every championship 😅

I’m not sure if it’s just me failing to see it before, but I’ve been noticing Snoopy getting a big resurgence in merch and attention over the last year or so.

@calbeau the way you wrote it implies you find “people complaining about TotK item giveaways” to be a pervasive issue with this community.

I’d say stating something in a way that makes it easy to asume you find the behavior unacceptable or disappointing counts as a complaint.

@calbeau I find it somewhat strange that you decided to complain about complainers before any real complaints took place…

At most you have me poking fun at the wording on the article title, and one person remarking they’d rather not update.

Everybody thought it used to be a Jolteon, but no, turns out Raikou is a Girafarig.

A whole entire golden apple!

Actually yes, about a year or two ago, the plastic wrap was broken into and the game was missing. Amazon sent me a new copy so now I have two boxes of Assassins Creed Black Flag…

Funny part is both are empty, because it was a Christmas gift for my brother, and he took the game and left the empty box in my house!

That would be a bit of a stretch. These games having various types of connectivity features doesn’t really mean anything for or against Pokemon.

I’m so glad they went and released both at the same time. I love these games, so I’ll definitely play them again for the 104th time

The DS remake was a little bit too hard for its own good.

My personal favorite version is the PSP one.

@Haruki_NLI sleeping too little, I think it’s under 5 hours a day, can bring severe health problems in the long run. It can also affect your mood and other aspects of your life.

The same goes for sleeping too much though.

The sweet spot seems to be 6-8 hours.

I actively refuse to buy, or even play for free, anything released by the AAA Clock publisher.

Even if it looks vaguely interesting or cute, or has interested me in the past. The moment I see it tied to the publisher, it’s immediately disregarded and ignored.

@Shepdawg1 I’d assume a lot of the money will come from sales of the Plus + accessory.

Was that a velociraptor?!
