I voted for Jack Baker and Heisenberg(not gonna lie, he's the only villain in Village that stuck with me, much thanks to his fantastic voice actor) due to not having played most of the games in the series but I did play through the remakes of 2 and 3 aswell as 7 and Village.
I guess I would give it a 4 based on what I tried at a friend's place. I wasn't a fan of Dragon Quest Builders and I think I dislike this one even more.
But to be fair, I don't even like playing Animal Crossing that much so this subgenre of games is clearly not my cup of tea I like digesting stuff related to how Animal Crossing was made and programmed though as that's really fascinating stuff. Back on-topic: Pokopia is definitely not a game I would pay money for, that's for sure.
After having played LeafGreen for like an hour(first time in 20 years I think), I can confidently I'm happy to be playing a legit consistently good Pokémon game for once.
Like sure, Pokémon Scarlet might be the best modern Pokémon game out there but it's still not anywhere near the quality of the GBA era games.
And I'm not talking about nostalgia either.
I simply do think that the GBA games are peak mainline Pokémon.
@Gryffin Black 2 and White 2 are literal sequels to Black and White, taking place like 2 years later in the same region which has undergone changes, meaning new Pokémon, new gyms, a different starting town, etc.
I would have gladly paid money for a remake, remaster or even a straight up Switch port of this as I would love to replay it.
Sure, it's far from the best game out there but for what it is, it's decent enough.
This is exciting news. I'm happy that they release these two as standalone purchases instead of simply confining them to NSO jail and I'm even happier that they cost barely anything.
Based on what I've tried, I might buy the Switch 1 version as it felt very comfy. While I could get the PS5 version or the Series X version, I feel like those are a bit overkill for this game. That and the very high resolution of those versions kinda made the game look too realistic and...I guess...ugly to me.
I would give Super Robot Wars Y(released this year) a 10 out of 10 and Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga(it got released in the west for the first time ever back in October) a 9 out of 10 but neither game is included in the list. Oh and the remaster of Fate/hollow ataraxia would get a 10 out of 10 but that one is missing from the list too.
Ten years already huh? I recall playing through it when it released on PS4, went for the platinum too and had a decent time with it but I will probably never replay it. The soundtrack is probably the single best thing about the game.
Pretty good Direct. Happy to see Monster Hunter Stories 3, and it's multiplatform, even better! The last one was really good and probably one of the best Pokémon games never made.
The obvious answer for me here is the Metroid Prime 4 boxart because of the nice combo of colors and the simplistic design overall.
Worst for me is the new boxart for the Kirby game aswell as that new Mario Kart game or whatever it's supposed to be.
I dunno why, something about both of those just rubs me the wrong way.
Looks nice, at least when comparing it to the dumpsterfire that Arceus was. If it's more like Scarlet/Violet(best Pokémon experience I've had since Omega Ruby), I'll be very happy.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Tales Of Symphonia (GameCube)
Japanese one definitely is more eye-catching to me so I say that one.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Edition
On-topic:
Gen 2 is the correct answer for me, not just because of the lovely art but because Gen 2 are the best Pokémon games, forever.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Pokémon 30th Anniversary Edition
@Gryffin
Black 2 and White 2 are literal sequels to Black and White, taking place like 2 years later in the same region which has undergone changes, meaning new Pokémon, new gyms, a different starting town, etc.
Re: Poll: So, Which Starter Will You Choose In Pokémon Winds & Waves?
Will obviously not pick any of them as I won't touch these games.
Re: Pokémon XD: Gale Of Darkness Comes To Switch 2 GameCube NSO In March
Well that sucks.
I would have gladly paid money for a remake, remaster or even a straight up Switch port of this as I would love to replay it.
Sure, it's far from the best game out there but for what it is, it's decent enough.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting Pokémon FireRed Or LeafGreen On Switch?
I'll get LeafGreen as that's the one I played on my old GBA SP a lot.
Don't care much for version exclusives.
Re: Pokémon FireRed And LeafGreen Officially Revealed For Switch
This is exciting news.
I'm happy that they release these two as standalone purchases instead of simply confining them to NSO jail and I'm even happier that they cost barely anything.
Re: If You Like Paper Mario's Newest Entry, This Nintendo Music Update Is For You
Amazing game, amazing soundtrack.
Game itself was my favorite game of 2020.
In my opinion, it's even on par with the Thousand-Year Door remake.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Closes All Standalone Stores As It Enters Administration
Holy *****, Game is still around?
That's wild, seeing how they closed down completely here in Sweden a decade ago.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2025 - Our Most Played Games
During 2025 I played a total of 381 hours across 91 games on Switch 1.
My top three played games are as follows:
Balatro: 90 hours
Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster: 49 hours
Lunar Remastered Collection: 22 hours.
I played through 3 games from beginning to end:
Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster
Risk of Rain Returns
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Hopefully 2026 will be a way more active year for me.
Re: Sorry Xillia 2, 'Tales Of Berseria' Is The Next Remaster From Bandai Namco
At least it's not Zestiria.
Here's hoping they let that one stay where it is.
Re: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Demo - Switch And Switch 2 Performance Investigated
Based on what I've tried, I might buy the Switch 1 version as it felt very comfy.
While I could get the PS5 version or the Series X version, I feel like those are a bit overkill for this game.
That and the very high resolution of those versions kinda made the game look too realistic and...I guess...ugly to me.
Re: Censored Dispatch Artwork Spotted On Nintendo's Digital Storefront
Oh no....
Anyway, who even cares that some random game gets its art censored on Switch?
Re: Reminder: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
I would give Super Robot Wars Y(released this year) a 10 out of 10 and Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga(it got released in the west for the first time ever back in October) a 9 out of 10 but neither game is included in the list.
Oh and the remaster of Fate/hollow ataraxia would get a 10 out of 10 but that one is missing from the list too.
Re: Opinion: 10 Years Old Today, Undertale Has Been A Constant Source Of Fun & Learning Between Me & My Kids
Ten years already huh?
I recall playing through it when it released on PS4, went for the platinum too and had a decent time with it but I will probably never replay it.
The soundtrack is probably the single best thing about the game.
Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Needed A Partner Showcase With Pep; This Wasn't It
Pretty good Direct.
Happy to see Monster Hunter Stories 3, and it's multiplatform, even better!
The last one was really good and probably one of the best Pokémon games never made.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Diddy Kong's Brand New Design
I fail to see any noteworthy change.
Still looks like the good old-fashioned Diddy Kong.
Re: Community: The Results Are In - These Are Your Most (And Least) Wanted Switch 2 Games
My most wanted Switch 2 game is Bravely Default HD and maybe Cyberpunk 2077, just for the novelty of it.
The first game I'm gonna get for the Switch 2(whenever I get one) though is Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition.
I have not seen any other revealed Switch 2 game that looks interesting to me.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Nintendo Switch 2 Special
The obvious answer for me here is the Metroid Prime 4 boxart because of the nice combo of colors and the simplistic design overall.

Re: Opinion: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Looks Cool, But It's Lacking Arceus' Unique Style
Looks nice, at least when comparing it to the dumpsterfire that Arceus was.
If it's more like Scarlet/Violet(best Pokémon experience I've had since Omega Ruby), I'll be very happy.
Re: Sorry, But There Are "Currently No Plans" For A Unicorn Overlord Sequel Or DLC
Oh right, this thing.
I keep forgetting it released.
Such a big disappointment of a game.
Vanillaware can do better.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2024 - Our Most Played Games
My top 3 on Switch this year is as follows:
1. Trails of Cold Steel III(131 hours)
2. Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin(76 hours, haven't beaten it yet)
3. Tales of Vesperia(56 hours)
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Game Of The Year Of 2024 So Far?
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is the only correct answer on Switch.
Re: Poll: So, Have You Finished Pokémon Legends: Arceus Yet?
Played through the main game back when it released and have never touched it again.
It had some cool mechanics(albeit pretty half-baked ones) and interesting concepts but was ultimately pretty disappointing.
