Kinda lame. Happy Home Paradise added some unique furniture. Though it makes me think how many "new" players will the Switch 2 attract. I feel like most players are migrants from Switch 1.
I really like the idea of the resort hotel. The reveal has not made it clear yet, but it seems like hotel guests can leave and roam around the island like a resident which I like. It adds to the idea that the island is a lively place that many can go in and out of instead of just a bird cage.
Nothing this week for me on Nintendo, cause I got Middle-Earth Shadow of War Definitive Edition for just $5.99. Not usually my type of game, but I heard some darn good things about it, and you'd be crazy to pass up on that price.
Hopefully they'll greatly dial back on the microtransactions, and prevent incidents like when kids unknowingly kept purchasing thousands of pounds worth of packs.
@Ladasta There's no one account. I just get them recommended to me cause the algorithm knows what I like. You can find plenty of them on youtube and some candy-based twitter accounts. Baking videos without commentary are also nice to just doze off to.
The one on the left looks disproportionately fat with Popeye arms. The one on the right knows they look bad and just wants the photo shoot to end and get the paycheck.
Reminds me more of those fully-grown, adult people who go to Disneyland and are more excited to see the costumed characters far more than the children.
@Princess_Lilly There's like over three hundred villagers in Animal Crossing, why not put the ones you don't like to good use, or if one stubbornly refuses to move out. 😈

It's not licensed music. The song was made specifically for the game.
The issue is who truly has ownership over it; the song writer or Sega, and the writer expecting compensation for Sega's use of the song for the past twenty years.
Saw the newly released Immortal Edition of Puzzle Quest, but I never played much of the original release on the eshop that I already got from a previous big sale. Now, I'm getting more deep into it and hopefully finish it now.
Got interested after watching the earlier animated trailer. Wish there was more playable characters to choose from, but me and a friend have been super into these types of games lately.
I love the difficulty just because I know it'll force the game journos to actually get good at it, and they can't risk being called out because everyone will be able to tell if they actually finished it.
Story structure for me was a bit off, but the gameplay was so good that I have a hard time returning to the gameplay of previous games. Even with the caveats like losing the ability to use items in real time.
Running poorly on Switch 2, physical is a game key card AND coming out the same day as Silksong. Ubisoft wasn't satisfied with Star Wars Outlaws' failure on other systems, but wants to continue it's failure on Nintendo's new console as well.

Waiting for Sega to announce Danica Patrick and make her the worst racer in the game, because she has to follow the laws of physics.

Darn it. This was supposedly my end of the year game.
Oh, well. Been waiting for this for years only to jump scare indie lovers when it resurfaced during this year's indie direct.
If it'll make the game even just a tad bit better, then it'll be worth it.

Why? What was the point? The games are still bad AND there's no nostalgia towards them. The infamy is the only thing it has.
