I am sure, that they can top the sales of Arceus someday. The internet tells me that Z-A only had to sell around 200 000 copies, to be profitable. In the meantime I will just continue to enjoy this fun game.
@charliecarrot I could not believe what you said about Nier's Metacritic score was true. The music alone makes it a masterpiece. Thank you for reminding me to listen to my own taste in games.

Sakurai-san and his team went all in. Great presentation, great game, great content. I am really thankful, that we have great developers who try so hard to make great games. Day one buy.
Pokémon Legends Z-A of course. I like it much more, than I thought I would. Really enjoying the vibes of Lumiose City and the player character customisations are also really cool.
Good luck! I hope it will get the success it deserves. I prefer games with a friendly atmosphere, mostly targeted at the inner child, so naturally the Switch 2 is the console for me.
@Supadav03 Nice, I am sure that this will be a great and unforgettable Christmas day for your kids. If you are male, you should change your name to Supadad03.
Thanks for the review Miss Hagues. It was fun to read and I think you conveyed very well, how engaging and satisfying the combat is. I am always interested in good games with a good atmosphere, so I will surely pick this one up.
A few days ago I went to the store, with 260€ in my pocket, to buy games, but I could not even find one game I really wanted. Most stuff just screamed not for you and I already have the two Switch 2 games. My hope lies with Z-A. If it is not good, I will just order something old to play instead. In the meantime, I will play a little bit more of Fantasy Life i or some old games.
@PinderSchloss Thanks. I agree, who you are and where you go is a very personal decision you make for yourself. There is no need to get influenced to do bad stuff.
