While even the worst Zelda game is like an 8/10, Skyward was the worst Zelda game I've ever played. Yet I'm still going to buy Skyward HD. Freaking Nintendo has me hooked like a street addict.
Motion controls or not, it's still super linear and the bosses mostly suck.
While I'd love to grab one of these (they are in stock at Target one town over) I'll be saving that $300 and putting it towards the Pro, whenever that happens.
I'm 3.5 hours deep into the game right now. I didn't have a U so this is my first playthough and so far I'm loving it. I'm trying to 100% each stage w/o any guides before I move on so I'm only 2 stages into world 2.
Speaking of the eShop, Walmart in the USA is offering $70 eShop cards for $49.54. As of this post it is still active. Also if you don't want to click a link from some random commenter on NL, check Wario64's Twitter. That's how I found out about it.
@Circasurviver Cool. What podcasts do you listen to? I used to listen to NVC a long time ago but don't like the current, rotating cast. I currently like SpawnCast but that's more for all gaming, not just Nintendo.
I like seeing BotW make the list. I've clocked like 600 hours into my various playthrough of that game and it has replaced Ocarina as my all time favorite game.
I had no idea about the split that made Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon two different companies until I saw it in an NL video. I've played Harvest Moon on 3ds before but now I want to give Story of Seasons a try on Switch...However, I'm still pretty addicted to AC:NH.
$40 is a great price for Fenyx. They have the same sale going on in the Microsoft store so I picked it up for the Series X.
From 2017 until a few weeks ago I've only had the Switch. What's interesting now is I have to start making decisions about what is more important to me: portability or visuals. In this case visuals won but I'm not sure that will be the case with everything going forward.
1. Cyberpunk on my Series X. 2. BotW - Started a new save file. This is my all time favorite game. 3. Horace - Thanks to the sale and the stellar review on this site.
For all the complaining about the eShop, I like it. It's fun to scroll through all the sales each week then look up games that catch my eye.
There are tons of Youtube channels that roundup all the best games on sale each week so if anyone feels bogged down it takes no more than 5 minutes of research to figure everything out.
That would be such a bummer. Luckily my Switch is still going strong since launch day 2017. I am looking forward to details about the Pro. I'm pretty sure that I'll be upgrading whenever that happens.
@Mgalens No it's not. If I make one comment to you that you deem hateful, it's not harassment, it's a statement. You may not like it, but I'm not harassing you. Bothering/upsetting someone is not the same as harassment.
@GrandScribe Yes they do. As long as it's not harassment, hate speech is protected speech in the US. Also, what is hate speech to me may not be hate speech to you...thus the gray area I mentioned.

Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
Switch pro will be an immediate preorder/day 1 purchase for me.
I spent a lot of money to get a Series X and yet I still find myself playing Switch by far the most. A 4k Switch would make me very happy.
Re: Feature: Zelda: Spirit Tracks Finally Gave The Princess A Crucial Role To Play
I will always be thankful to both DS Zelda games for keeping me busy while I was working a job that had me do the overnight shift.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 3rd)
It's a BotW (my 3rd playthrough) and AC:NH weekend for me.
Re: Review: Citizens Unite!: Earth x Space - Two Mid-Tier RPGs For The Price Of One
I had a lot of fun with Citizens of Earth on 3DS.
Also, good use of the word "pugilism". I had to look it up. NL taught me something today!
Re: Review: Lawnmower Game: Racing - The Worst Game On Switch? Quite Possibly
You all at NL should be ashamed of yourselves for this review.
Don't you watch your own Youtuber's videos? It is obviously at least a 9/10. Up there with BotW and Odyssey.
Re: Hori Unveils Five New Animal Crossing Themed Nintendo Switch Accessories
I have zero interest in a wired controller...this isn't 1996, but I'd happily buy either of those cases.
However, I also have zero interest in Hello Kitty but also plan to be at Target when they open to buy those Sanrio cards.
Re: Video: Are These The Two Worst Games On Nintendo Switch?
The secret snow area is the best thing that has ever happened in gaming.
Re: Nintendo Plugs Zelda: Skyward Sword HD With New "Button-Only" Control Scheme
@Natsura Dude, that's rough. Especially since Link was left handed in every other game.

Re: UK Charts: Super Mario 3D World Stays Top As Animal Crossing's Slide Continues
30+ million copies of ac sold is astounding.
Re: First 4 Figures Reveals Metroid "Samus Helmet" Statue
If their previous pricing is any guide it's going to be around $500.
It's certainly cool, but not that cool. $500 is getting close to a mortgage payment. I'd rather have a house than a helmet.
Re: Random: Zelda: Breath of the Wild Player Beats Every Shrine With His Feet
That's nothing, the only way I play BotW is by bashing the controller with a certain male appendage.
Re: Talking Point: What We're Hoping To See In Today's Nintendo Direct
Give me AC:NH and Zelda news and I'll be on cloud 9.
Re: Where To Buy The Mario Red & Blue Edition Nintendo Switch
While I'd love to grab one of these (they are in stock at Target one town over) I'll be saving that $300 and putting it towards the Pro, whenever that happens.
Re: Reminder: Don't Miss Festivale, Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Latest All-Day Event
The float is cool. And so are Pave's gyrations.
Re: A Day-One Update For Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Is Now Live (Version 1.1.0)
I'm 3.5 hours deep into the game right now. I didn't have a U so this is my first playthough and so far I'm loving it. I'm trying to 100% each stage w/o any guides before I move on so I'm only 2 stages into world 2.
Re: Clueless About Your Switch? Nintendo Is Offering A Free "Concierge" Service For New Owners
It's a weird looking frisbee right? You're supposed to use it to have a catch with friends right?
See, I don't need any fancy concierge.
Re: Can You Name All This Nintendo Hardware?
13/20. Better than how I usually do on these.
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite GameCube Console Variant?
The best is that fancy silver one that could play DVDs.
Re: Feature: Super Mario And Friends - A History Of Mainline Mario Multiplayer
@NinChocolate Ha yea, I think the best thing anyone can say about mainline Mario multiplayer is "I didn't mind it".
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo 64 Console Variant?
Other than the OG gray, Jungle Green is by far the best. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.
Re: Poll: Do You Want Gyroids To Return In Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
When I get roids I usually rub a cream on them.

Re: Metacritic Reveals Top 50 Highest-Scoring Nintendo Switch Games Of 2020
Some rando baseball game did that well?
I may need to check it out.
Re: The Switch Has Now Sold More Units Than The 3DS
Isn't it 4 years?
Ten months of 17, 18, 19 & 20.
Re: Random: This Switch-Style Mini-PC Takes A Leaf Out Of Nintendo's Book
The new GPD is also very Switch-like. GPD makes cool products and it's a sweet looking device but the keyboard looks awful.
Re: Nintendo Dominates Amazon's Best-Selling Games List For 2020
I like seeing BotW make the list. I've clocked like 600 hours into my various playthrough of that game and it has replaced Ocarina as my all time favorite game.
My second most played game is AC:NH.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite Animal Crossing: New Horizons Event Of 2020?
Halloween hands down.
Re: Random: KFC Made A Console, For Some Reason
I only play consoles made by Popeyes.
Re: Story Of Seasons And Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin Helped XSEED Games To A Record-Breaking Year
I had no idea about the split that made Story of Seasons and Harvest Moon two different companies until I saw it in an NL video. I've played Harvest Moon on 3ds before but now I want to give Story of Seasons a try on Switch...However, I'm still pretty addicted to AC:NH.
Re: Miyamoto's Kids Played "A Lot" Of Sega Games, But That Just Inspired Him To "Try Harder"
Blatant disrespect like that is why it should still be socially acceptable to beat your children.

3. Horace - Thanks to the sale and the stellar review on this site.
Re: Soapbox: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Easily My Most Nerve-Racking Game Of 2020
I'm scared to go to sleep at night because the ghost of Mr. Resetti from games past haunts my dreams.
Re: Nintendo Closes Loophole Which Allowed Publishers To 100% Discount Games On The eShop

Re: Hands On: We Test Our Cheeks On The Herman Miller X Logitech G Embody Gaming Chair
Any chair I sit in when playing Switch all of a sudden becomes a gaming chair.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Has Been The Best-Selling Console In Canada For 25 Consecutive Months
Nintendo won't be satisfied until every moose has its own Switch.
@Heavyarms55 I wake up every morning thankful I was lucky enough to be born in the USA.
Re: Nintendo Apologises After Multiple Customers Receive Faulty Consoles Out Of The Box
That would be such a bummer. Luckily my Switch is still going strong since launch day 2017. I am looking forward to details about the Pro. I'm pretty sure that I'll be upgrading whenever that happens.
Re: Nintendo, PlayStation And Xbox Announce A Shared Commitment To Safer Gaming

Re: Nintendo, PlayStation And Xbox Announce A Shared Commitment To Safer Gaming
Parental controls are a good thing. It is also good to have systems in place to prevent any illegal activity.
It's when companies get into banning "hate speech" or stuff of that nature, where things enter a dangerous gray area.
Re: Review: PixelJunk Eden 2 - More Than Simply An 'Audiovisual Experience'
I just learned this game existed yesterday on the SpawnCast. It looks like a blast and with this review and the current sale I'm going to pick it up.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Switch Game Of 2020? It's Time To Rate Your Favourites
Every single mobile game that was ported to the Switch this year was better than the last. So my vote is for all mobile ports.
IDK why Nintendo even makes first party games anymore, seems like a waste of time and money.
Re: Next Week, Animal Crossing Players Can Donate Their Spoiled Turnips To A Good Cause
@Soapyy72 Ever hear of Eddie Murphy or Chappelle or Carlin? Tell them Jokes aren't funny if someone is offended.
Re: Nintendo Switch Sold More Than 1.3 Million Units In China This Year
And we all know China has a population of only 1.4 million so that's pretty amazing.
Re: Hardware Review: 8BitDo's Arcade Stick Grants That Coin-Op Feel To Your Switch
I have yet to see an 8BitDo accessory that isn't of the highest quality.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #68 - Super Mario World
USA. Straight and to the point. The clutter on the other two is unnecessary.
