@Saint_Link Oh on! You're on to me. I'm under mind control from Nintendo Life. They are, after all, the only site to critically pan the game. And I personally have all the time and money in the world to play every video game.
@Friendly I'm sure they get paid for it. Nintendo don't really need the money though, and it's probably better for the company to show off better quality games.
I was really excited to play Overcooked... then hated it once I got my hands on it. I found things too specific and it was stressful rather than fun. If you aren't pixel-perfect in front of a work station it doesn't register you are there. It might just be me as many people seem to love these games.
@divioxxdivio Could be. The lines between types of games can be a bit blurry. It was always classed as an Action Adventure game in the media when I was growing up, and I always saw RPGs having a group of characters rather than one person. Almost any game could be classed as an RPG in one way or another.

Re: Nintendo Shares Its May eShop Highlights
I was going the get The Colonists on Switch, but optes for PC instead. It's a great game.
Re: Sega Looking To Release Brand New "Super Game" In The Next Five Years
It's about time they started making games for franchises they totally forget about.
Re: No, We're Probably Not Getting An "Island Expansion" In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I just want an update so Redd comes to your island more, and has a higher % chance of new, real things.
Re: Animal Crossing Was The Best Selling Switch Game This Year, Unsurprisingly
It's crazy how much launch year games keep selling.

Re: Anniversary: The Animal Crossing Series Is Now 20 Years Old
I had the Gamecube version and played every day for a bout 3 weeks. The next version I got was ACNH, and have played every day for over a year.

Looks good. I'll keep an eye out for reviews.

Something something Mario Kart 9 something something.

Re: Review: Stubbs The Zombie In Rebel Without A Pulse - A "Cult Classic" That Has Aged Like Milk
@Paraka If everyone adds a few then that could total a lot. And I buy most of the games on my wishlist.
Re: Review: Stubbs The Zombie In Rebel Without A Pulse - A "Cult Classic" That Has Aged Like Milk
@Paraka I've added a few smaller games to my wish list based on videos from a Direct
Re: Review: Stubbs The Zombie In Rebel Without A Pulse - A "Cult Classic" That Has Aged Like Milk
Nintendo need to stop highlighting trash games in Directs.
Re: Review: Overcooked! All You Can Eat - Stuff Your Face With This Awesome Multiplayer Marvel
I was really excited to play Overcooked... then hated it once I got my hands on it. I found things too specific and it was stressful rather than fun.

Re: Mario Kart Tour's Next Event Is Now Live, Bringing Us A Second Yoshi Tour
Something something give us Mario Kart 9 something something.
Re: Twin-Stick Puzzle-Platformer World-Splitter Leaps Onto Switch Next Month
I thought that was Star Lord for a second.
Re: Unrailed! Is Getting A Free Nintendo Switch Online Trial In Japan Next Week
It's an awesome game. We play cross-play with friends between Switch and PC.
Re: Nintendo And Pokémon GO Dev Niantic Are Releasing A Pikmin Mobile App
If it does well this could be big for the Pikmin franchise.
Re: Anniversary: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Launched A Year Ago Today
I just want to finish the museum and fish now. Not sure if the museum will ever happen as Redd turns up once a month and everything is always fake.
Re: Video: Square Enix Shows Off Balan Wonderworld's Local Co-Op Mode
Can't wait for the reviews. Love a good car-crash of a game.
Re: Review: Kaze And The Wild Masks - A Brilliant Homage To Donkey Kong Country
I've pre-orded based on this review. Looking forward to it

Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?
It's action adventure.
Re: Review: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - RPG Action That Really Shows Its Age
I really enjoyed the original game. Combat was the main pull for me.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Players, Get Ready: Bunny. Day. Is. Back.
cries in the corner
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Day-One Patch To Address Demo Feedback
Does the patch just set it on fire?
Re: Feature: Best SNES RPGs
@kickerofelves I got it when it first came out, back when I was in school.
The bosses can be hard. I found that directing your allies to use magic etc is key. You have to be really quick with the menus.
Re: Feature: The 10 Best SNES RPGs
@kickerofelves I have played Secret of Mana many times in single player and multiplayer. It's still my joint favorite game of all time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 6th)
We opayed nearly 70 games of Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle last night.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo To Reveal New Switch Model With Samsung OLED Display And 4K Support
I'm sure it will have an insanely convoluted way of transferring games and saves.
Re: One Million Players Have Now Visited Cvstodia As Blasphemous Reaches Sales Landmark
I'm playing it but suck at this type of game. Still enjoying it though. I'm glad it's doing well.
Re: Review: Bravely Default II - An Excellent Old-School JRPG That's Happy To Play It Safe
I have too many RPGs in the backlog. Maybe one day.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Version 1.8.0 Is Now Available - Super Mario Items And More
Time to make some space on my island (again...)
Re: Jet Set Radio's Legacy Lives On In This Official Trailer For Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
I'll wait for some reviews. These usually disappoint.
Re: Random: Oh No, Soulja Boy's Making A Video Game Console Again
It's interesting that this isn't getting the negative comments other articles about musicians have recently on this site.
Re: Capcom Will Broadcast Three Monster Hunter Live Streams Next Month
Not my thing but I hope people like it.
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually
Can't say I agree. The art style and washed out colours are enough to put me off. Then there's those faces... the stuff of nightmares!
If you want a Zelda game with a 'different' visual style play Wind Waker. It's a far better game in every way.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?
My lowest bar for expectations wasn't even met. I was ok with ports and remasters until now, but I'm sick of it (from Nintendo and everyone else).
We got 2 new games from Nintendo. One of which will not be released for at least 12 months. The other is a golf game.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2021 Nintendo Direct
Legend of Mana and NMH 3 are the only games I care about from those announced. They didn't need a direct to announce all that trash.
Re: Travis Touchdown Returns In No More Heroes III On August 27th
Love NMH. I just hope there is more to it because the structure of the game doesn't seem to have changed at all.
Re: Introducing Knockout City, A New Dodgeball Game From The Developer Of Mario Kart Live
The trailer in the Direct was awful.
Re: Tales Of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Reaches One Million Sales After Two Years
I have it but haven't started yet. One day my Switch backlog will go down. One day...
Re: Bloodstained's Miriam Is Coming To Blasphemous This Week In A Free Update
I need to get back in to Blasphemous. It's a great game but I got pulled away by other games.
