I play every day so I don’t mind the occasional charge. I’d have to really think about a subscription though since I’m already paying for Nintendo Switch Online, Pokemon Bank and Home.
I think it’s always worth remembering I know people who spend hundreds a year so they can stand in the cold and rain watching some sports thing for 3 hours. Gotta keep it in perspective.
Favourites: Donkey Kong Country Returns, Guitar Hero III, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Wii Sports, Mario Kart 7 and Xenoblade Chronicles.
Would still like to play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Animal Crossing: Lets Go To The City but they’re too expensive now and my humble laptop can’t emulate em either.
As ever, my 3DS time was mostly playing Pokémon. I got into 4 figures with hours played. Getting the Game Boy games and being able to transfer up to Bank was brilliant too.
After not liking Wild World very much I loved New Leaf and bought it 3 times.
Out Run 3D was a highlight and of course Fire Emblem as well. Oh, and Bravely Default.
I think I’ve put 10 hours into The Crown Tundra already and still got a ways go to the end of story (I get easily distracted). Will be trying hard for shinys and getting into the new VGC meta also.
I can’t stop doing the new raids. I’m 5 minutes into the story and 4 hours later no further forward.
Just...one...more...try...🤗
With Pokémon GO!, Splatoon and Animal Crossing events all happening plus it’s gonna be 34 degrees this weekend I’m thinking I’ll just have to not sleep. 😅
@The-Chosen-one
The content for the first DLC was a couple hours story/battling with a new Pokémon accompanying you. It also included a sizeable free roaming area where Pokémon not available in the base game could be caught.
Second one looks like more of the same.
I thought of it as end game content so I’m thinking maybe wait until you’ve completed the main story until you get the DLC.
A big part of the Pokémon experience for me is the online 2v2 battling and the DLC has some quality of life stuff that helps with creating a competitive team.
Hope all that makes sense. 😊
I’ve been playing Donkey Kong and Solomon’s Key - both are excellent/classics. I love Yie Ar Kung-Fu (YMMV). Green Beret is on the way!
Now I’d like: Bubble Bobble Mysterious Stones - Dr. Kick in Adventure Enduro Racer Gauntlet II Karnov Operation Wolf
@Kabloop
How is Butasan? I have it on my watch list but I’ve been holding out for a sale.
@sandman89
Yellow is my most replayed for sure. I put a ton of hours into X as I was battling in VGC a lot then. I’m currently re/playing Yellow, Crystal, Black, Omega Ruby and Sword. 😅
@dil_power
As a huge fan I’d say jump straight in. With the new free Pikachus and upcoming legendary raids and Pokémon GO! compatibility this is a great time to start.
Also the new games are great. The internet is frequently wrong about, well, everything.

Gigantimax Melmetal! 🤩
Now which shinys to transfer first. 🤔
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
It would take a must have game and a serious price drop to get me to buy a PlayStation again.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Isn't Coming To Switch After All
Looks like I’ll be playing these (again) on PS4 instead. 😐
Hopefully they haven’t messed with em too much and they all retain their individual charm.
Re: Switch Is Getting A Brand-New Dizzy Game, And It Was Coded During Lockdown

That is interesting. You got a source? I’ve got the GoG version on my laptop and I can’t tell the difference tbh. 🤷🏻♂️

Re: Fortnite Crosses The Streams With Ghostbusters Just In Time For Halloween
I can’t do the maths but wouldn’t you have been too young to see Ghostbusters when it came out in 1984 if you’re now in your 30’s?
Edit: I think a 30 yr old would’ve been -6 🤔😅

I’ve been playing since Blue and though it’s not the very best in the series I’d still give it 10/10.

Pokémon Crystal was the best game on the Game Boy.

That’s great, thanks. I’ll definitely pick it up but I’ll have to wait for a price drop first (moving house soon). Or, maybe Santa will get it for me.
