Never had a Nintendo controller break before the Switch. I have 3 joycon and a Pro controller with drift. It's really sad that their quailty control is so low now. I remember when a gameboy could be shot in to the sun and still work.
I love the idea of more reasons to visit the museum. This took less than 10 minutes to complete though. I wish it was more integrated with learning about the exhibits.
@Joe-b I really think it depends on how well Pikmin 3 Ultimate/Deluxe/Extra/Plus/whatever sells. If it comes out before the world stops being on fire it has a real chance of doing very well. I hope Pikmin finally gets the sales it deserves, and becomes more of a priority for Nintendo.
Why is everyone talking about Pikmin 4? Did it get announced? I thought there was talk of a new Pikmin ages ago, but that turnes out to be that awful 3DS game.
I've also found Animal Crossing one of the most stressful games. It's one of the few games you can really 'missing' stuff in as it carries on when you aren't playing.
@mr_eman I guess it depends on what you think these new games should be. It's hard to balance the past with current gaming when a franchise has been away so long.
I've been playing since it came out on WiiU. I really which they would do some dlc packs, like one every 6-9 months. Loads of people would buy it. It'd help a lot during the current world problems too.
For both AC and Pokemon I played the originals, then skipped all the versions until the latest ones. AC feels like it has grown and moved forward. Pokemon Sword felt like it had gone backwards from Pokemon Blue. It felt so empty and shallow.
@nintendork64 It is on a grid, but you 'scroll' for movement. For some reason that means I can understand my location better than before. The screen movement before felt disjointed and disorientating to me.
@stevep I couldn't get in to the Gamecube version because of the 'grid'. It made me confused and I was constantly lost. Same for games like LTTP. I final the scrolling much easier to understand.
I didn't mind this in BOTW. You had sections for each type of weapon, and could carry a lot of each type. In AC:NH I can break 6 axes just cutting wood from trees. It all uses the same inventory space and is super annoying.
I really wanted to like the first one but it was too stressful. You had to be perfectly in front of a work station to do anything. Is this one a bit more forgiving?

Re: Talking Point: Are You Suffering From Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fatigue?
I'm still playing a bit every day, but I am starting to give up. I have the following problems:
The main problem is I keep getting repeat recipes. I know the game has a lot more items but for some reason Nintendo made it too hard to get them.
My island it almost full and I can't really build anything else without moving everything around.
I've completed the fossil section of the museum and can't see myself playing for at least a year to get everything else.
The visitors are unbalanced. You always get the rubbish ones every week, while I've hardly seen Redd, Flick, or CJ. It doesn't help with progression.

Re: Moonlighter DLC Expansion Launches On Switch At The End Of The Month
The base gane is fun but a bit short. When it launched the gane was really buggy. I know they fixed a lot now though.
I hope this DLC has enough content.

Re: It Doesn't Sound Like A Nintendo Direct Will Be Happening Anytime Soon
If it means each game has space to shine then this is good news. It may also help sales too.

Re: Story Of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town File Size Revealed, 10 New Screenshots
@Eel As someone else said, they have interlinked histories. I haven't taken much notice of these games since the N64, so wasn't aware of the changes.
Re: Story Of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town File Size Revealed, 10 New Screenshots
@Citano Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know they were different games.

Is this the game that's meant to have '2020 graphics'?
