@Clyde_Radcliffe I heard on the Gamexplain 2020 year review video that it sold badly to start with but picked up. I don't think we will get any updated sales figures until the end of the financial year.
I got 5 stars. Then made the whole island a forest with a small number of open areas and a village with rivers running through. My star rating has dropped but I like it a lot more.
I've been playing since day , and am finally getting a bit tired of it. They need to add some larger stuff to keep players engaged. Seasonal events will not do that on a day-to-day level.
I played a couple of hours of 2 about a year ago. It didn't grab me like 1. The world/characters/voice acting/character designs are all better in 1 IMO. I'll give it another try next year.
I have been working from homw full timw for the last 3 years. It has pros and cons, but reqlly helps with the work-life balance. Given that the gaming industry is know for crunch working, I hope it allows people more time off.
It's a fun game. I really hope they do something to improve the frame-rate in 2 player. I'v played a few worriers games, and this has the worst dips I've seen.
For everyone saying it is expensive (and it is), there are charities like Special Effect which help disabled people play games. You can donate or get involved with fund raising on their website.
@BlubberWhale It would be great to get 3 mil sales. From what I can find the main entries sold less than 2 mil each. Anything that makes Nintendo show more interest would be great.
Been playing the story mode in 2 player on the Hard setting, and finished most of the challenge missions with platinum. Can't wait to try the extras and do extra spicy mode.
Got Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 after the NL review. Been playing it a but this morning. Please don't buy this game! The controls are really bad and the camra has a mind of its own. It juat took 20 mins to make a very basic coaster cos the controlls are so bad.

I came in to see why this had the most comments of the current 'headlines' page. Wish I hadn't.
Re: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Is Officially The Best-Selling Entry In The Series In Japan
I hope it keeps selling and we get some DLC or Pikmin 4 (finally).

Still playing lots of Pikmin 3 Bingo Battle.

That was great
Re: Nintendo's Direct Archive Appears To Have Been Updated, And It's Got Some Fans Excited
I think we will have a mini. Details on Mario, Age of Calamity DLC, and an Animal Crossing update. Plus a few small things for other games.

Re: Ambitious Open-World RPG Skyclimbers Is Coming To Switch, Subject To Crowdfunding Success
I like the solemn Nordic-esque vibe from the trailer. Will check it out.
Re: Think You've Got What It Takes To Beat Nintendo's Pikmin 3 Quiz?
@stinky_t It's great fun if you have 2 people who play at a similar level. Pikmin 3 is great anyway, but Bingo Battle really gives it longevity.
Re: Think You've Got What It Takes To Beat Nintendo's Pikmin 3 Quiz?
Bingo Battle has taken over our house. We played another 3 hours yesterday. I really hope we get Pikmin 4 or some DLC soon (in my dreams).
Re: Best Of 2020: I've Been Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons Wrong All This Time, But No More

Re: Best Cheap Nintendo Switch Games - Christmas 2020 Switch eShop Deals (Europe)
I wish we could gift digital games on Switch. I would get Yoku for everyone I know.
Re: Nintendo's Doug Bowser Discusses The Future Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I've been playing since day , and am finally getting a bit tired of it. They need to add some larger stuff to keep players engaged. Seasonal events will not do that on a day-to-day level.
Re: Get Festive With Rosalina's "Starry Skies And Icy Planets" Update For Mario Kart Tour
Why does that music sound so bad?
Re: Poll: Among Us Is Out Now On The Nintendo Switch, Are You Getting It?
I, and everyone I know, has it on PC or phone.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Already The Best-Selling Warriors Game Of All Time
It's a fun game. I really hope they do something to improve the frame-rate in 2 player. I'v played a few worriers games, and this has the worst dips I've seen.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Winter Update Arrives This Thursday
Just when I was thinking of leaving the game because I ran out of stuff to do.
Re: Cutesy Co-Op Game Phogs! Introduces Its Play World Ahead Of Next Month's Launch
It's finally coming out. I thought it was cancelled.
Re: Happy 68th Birthday, Shigeru Miyamoto
Happy birthday
I met him once in London (totally by accident). He's such a lovely guy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 14th)
Animal Crossing, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Grounded, Among Us.
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TG16_IS_BAE Shallow gameplay isn't the same as bad gameplay. Lots of media is shallow but can also be fun.
I personally find there is a nice rhythm to these games. It's the same with Diablo games.You can just switch off and enjoy yourself.
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TG16_IS_BAE I think people are interested in the story too, given that BoTW hinted at a lot but didn't give much away.
Re: Nintendo Switch Achieves Its Best October Sales To Date In The US
Good console sales means good 3rd party support. It may also mean Nintendo don't rush put first party games and release better quality products.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pikmin 3 Stays Top, Pokémon Sword And Shield Expansion Pass Makes Top Five
Great to see Pikmin doing well. Would love some DLC or Pikmin 4.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Retakes Second, But Pikmin 3 Sees Disappointing Drop
Pikmin is still doing ok on the e-shop. I wouldn't write it off just yet.
Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Is Now The Best-Selling Entry In The Entire Series
I still haven't got this. Maybe once my backlog is finished.
Re: Adorable Multiplayer Brawler Cake Bash Cooks Up A November Release On Switch
I'll see what reviews have to say. The demo didn't do much for me.

Re: Japanese Charts: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Takes Top Spot As Switch Sales Reach 13 Million
Go Pikmin I hope it continues to do well.
Re: Review: No More Heroes - A Crude And Madcap Anime Nightmare That Deserves Your Attention
@pip_muzz I'm glad it wasn't just me finding the baseball games harder than I remembered. I can't seem to get the new timing right consistently.
Re: Review: No More Heroes - A Crude And Madcap Anime Nightmare That Deserves Your Attention
I loved the original, I'm about half way through this version and still love it. Can't wait to finish and (finally) finish the second.

Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 15 Most-Downloaded Switch Games In October 2020 (Europe)
Pikmin 3 is doing well considering it was only out for a couple of days.Having played the new content I'm glad a double-dipped.
I want to get Hades but need to finish No More Heroes first.
Re: Eighting Helped Nintendo Bring Pikmin 3 To The Switch
Finished the epilogue. These parts are really fun and challenging. Let's hope they get to help with Pikmin 4 too.
Re: UK Charts: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Scores Top Ten Debut In Another Solid Week For Nintendo

Re: Poll: Pikmin 3 Deluxe Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
It's on the way. Can't wait to play this again
Re: Review: Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Perhaps Not Worth A Double Dip, But The Choice Pick For New Players
Bingo Battle is worth a double-dip on this for me, plus co-op in the main game. Can't wait for my copy to arrive
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo 64 Games
Diddy Kong Racing and Snowboard Kids should be higher than Mario Kart 64.
Re: Poll: Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
The price is too high. The idea you can't buy more karts without buying a full pack is crazy.
Re: A Short Hike's Sales Have Been "Much Stronger" On Switch Compared To PC
It's a great little game. I need to play more of the side stories/quests.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 10th)

Re: The Survivalists, A Follow-Up To Team17's The Escapists, Launches On Switch Today
I got one the Escapist games on sale and had no idea what was happening, or the point of the game.
Re: Hands On: Pikmin 3 Deluxe - This Wii U Classic Is Shaping Up Well On Switch
I was surprised and happy that Nintendo added harder modes instead of easier ones (DKC:TF, 2D Mario etc).
Looking forward to playing co-op and all the swearing that comes with a game of Bingo Battle.
Re: You Can Now Download A Free Pikmin 3 Deluxe Demo From The Switch eShop
@Liam_Doolan I might be a bit too old-school, but what Activision's offering aren't demos in that case (at least to me).
@Yanina It's a shame that people have to check about this stuff. It really feels like companies have normalised their crappy business practices.
Re: You Can Now Download A Free Pikmin 3 Deluxe Demo From The Switch eShop
Why does NL keep saying 'free demo'? It wouldn't be a demo if it wasn't free.
