I haven’t played Splatoon 3 in months, just been really busy. But I will be returning for the final fest. No way I’m missing this.

@Mattgelo if you have a European account in addition to your North American account, you can download the Game Trials from the EU account and play them from your NA account.

@JalapenoSpiceLife yes, it does seem like this 2D entry will be a bit more open, but that doesn't mean they're completely redoing the 2D formula. Linearity is still a huge factor in 2D Zelda, and I believe the devs know this and will be sure to match that linear feeling while also giving the player an unprecedented amount of freedom that has never been seen in a top-down Zelda game.

“Oh, this is cool, but there’s probably not gonna be one of these near me so-“

“Huh, there’s actually one near me. Too bad I’m too lazy to actually go.”

This is cool, but way too expensive for me.

I was really excited for this, until I saw the price.

Seeing 40% say they prefer BOTW is a little shocking to me, but also totally understandable. Personally, I prefer TOTK, but BOTW’s simplicity, for lack of a better description, is refreshing. Still think TOTK is a much bigger and more expansive game, though.

Surprised Splatoon 3 isn’t on the list, considering Splatoon 2 is.

Honestly, Nintendo could probably go a full decade with the switch if they wanted to.

This is totally going to contradict the comment above this one, but this is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I honestly really like listening to the different conversations the characters have. Makes everything feel… Real, like there’ll be real consequences if you let the bad guys win. If you’re thinking of playing this game, stop thinking and just play it. You won’t regret it.

Jeez, I was expecting Nook’s Cranny to be $40 at most. $70 for an Animal Crossing LEGO set is way too much, in my opinion, especially considering the size of the Nook’s Cranny set.

@jamesthemagi Exactly what I was thinking!

A seemingly high-quality, visually appealing metroidvania with a good story and good gameplay that runs at 60 fps is being released on the switch? Count me in!

I usually don’t participate in these events, but I think I’ll give this one a go.

In this world, nothing is certain except death and stability updates.

@Kirby_Girl me too! I really want the N64 and NES ones to return, but I don’t think they ever will…

Charles Martinet is an absolute legend.

This is going to be the movie of all time.

@nimnio I know it doesn’t really make all that much sense… I just want a new console. 😅

@Coalescence to me it looks like they’re trying to get rid of as much switch stuff as possible. Honestly, I think they’re preparing for a new console.

I’m on team Skeleton. I’m prepared to lose.

This is a game trial that I will actually play.

Every single time we get one of these stability updates we get stability jokes. At this point that’s the only purpose they serve. To act as a base for horrible jokes. Funny, but admittedly pretty bad.

I cannot wait for Side Order. It looks absolutely amazing.

I NEED BIG MAN.

Playing some Splatoon 3 to prepare a bit more before Drizzle Season.

Frye just can’t catch a break…

I’ve never really understood putting just codes into physical game cases, but… Actually, I can kind of understand. With full games, it’s a cheaper, easier alternative to actual cartridges, but still allows you to showcase your game in a retail environment. That I can kind of understand. But this? I don’t know… Just seems a bit off to me.

It would be amazing if there was virtual console in addition to what they’re offering right now. A couple dollars for one game, or pay monthly or yearly to play as many games as you want. Sure, it’d need a few tweaks, like a cheaper subscription plan, but it could work.

I got the game on launch, and for as long as I’ve owned the game my title has been “massive forehead.”

I’m so happy the Oracle games came to NSO. Never played either of ‘em, so I started with Ages. And so far, it’s great! Can’t wait to start Seasons when I’m done. @Truegamer79 yeah like seriously Nintendo, get these classics to the Switch! You’re sitting on a massive pile of gold here, but doing nothing with it!

I’ve never played a Pikmin game before. Only a bit of the Pikmin 3 demo. I’m really hoping to get into the series with this game!

It's fine that this is releasing on consoles and the like, but it looks like this could just as easily have been a mobile game.

There’s gotta be something big being announced… Right?

At first I was a little disappointed that a Zelda movie wasn’t actually being discussed, but that was before I remembered that these rumors suggested Illumination was going to handle it. I’m incredibly relieved that Illumination won’t be handling a Zelda movie. The studio is known for subpar stories and animation styles, excluding the Mario movie on the latter point, of course.

I’m tempted to get the case, though I already have one that’s perfectly fine. But that case looks so good! Decisions, decisions…

I got this game on launch day. I thought it looked neat, and was excited to create some weird, fun minigames. While I did enjoy tinkering and creating small games and projects, the one thing that kept me from absolutely adoring this game was the fact that I couldn't see what the rest of the community was up to. Unlike games like Super Mario Maker, you couldn't just upload your creations to in the game some worldwide creation-veiwing area to allow other people to see what you've made. If you wanted to share your creations, you first had to get a code for your game, then share that code with the community through some external website or something, since you can't just upload them through the game itself and have people veiw your creation straight from the game. The Game Builder Garage subreddit is the only place where I can see what the community is doing.

The thought of Illumination handling a franchise like Zelda is quite… Unsettling.

I only got thirteen out of seventeen. Not too bad, though! Some of these were a little tricky.

In my opinion, Super Dungeon Maker looks a lot better than this. I like the visuals a lot more, and it just looks a lot more put-together.

I'm actually curious about where Nintendo is going with this. Seems like you'll be able to use your phone to play, kind of like Jackbox.

These... Actually look kind of nice.

OOOOOOOH Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Haven’t started that quest yet, or used the item duplication glitch. As for the gameplay updates… They probably fix issues that deal with frame rate drops. Honestly, the frame rate drops didn’t even bother me. I was having too much fun creating the most absurd things with Ultrahand to even care about frame rate issues.

@SBandy1 I never got to play Mario 35. I hadn’t subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online until after the whole Super Mario 35th Anniversary stuff had already come and gone. It would be amazing if Nintendo brought it back, even if it’s only for a limited time again.

Huh, this is neat! Never even thought of doing this. I’ve just been fusing sleds to my shields, but I’ll be trying this next!

I ordered some stuff using My Nintendo Platinum Points a few days ago… I kept telling myself, “dude, you know Tears of the Kingdom items are going to inevitably appear on the rewards shop, right? Hold off on ordering until they appear so you can order it with the rest of your stuff and save some money by not spending more on shipping.” And did I listen to myself? No. I did not. But am I still going to order this? Yes. Yes I am. Because I’m a sucker for a good keychain. And I’m also just a sucker in general.

YES! Proper dungeons? I couldn’t be happier! I loved the Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild, but they felt very similar to each other, both gameplay and design wise. I can’t wait for some more gameplay and design variations between these dungeons. There’s one thing that’s bothering me, though. When I think of a “proper” Zelda dungeon, a couple things pop into my mind. Linearity, key items, and a banging soundtrack come into mind. However, with infinitely many ways to solve a single problem in Tears of the Kingdom, I don’t think we’ll have that same linear feel from previous Zelda titles. However, the Zelda dev team is an incredibly creative group, so I’m not really worried about the new proper dungeons not living up to the hype, because I guarantee they will.

This is one of the prizes in the Tears of the Kingdom My Nintendo sweepstakes. The cover design is amazing! Not sure if I’m going to purchase it, though.

I’m definitely trying this out!
