I hope Z-A will surprise me and be really really good. Played and enjoyed a few of the original releases, so I will skip them. Dragon Quest I+II is a likely purchase. Interested in Persona, Katamari, Mina, Two Point Museum.
@the_beaver Well, the Switch 1 did not have backwards compatibility, so of course the situation is better now in that regard, and I did not claim otherwise, so I do not understand why you reply to me in such a way.
@benmalsky198 It is okay if you feel that way. Really, I am glad that you like or even love them both and thank you for letting me know how you feel about them. I think both games can be fun.
Your article made me try the PlayStation 5 demo of CrossWorlds. I also enjoyed the arcade game vibes and the uplifting tone is nice and a must have for a kart racer. What I did not enjoy is the warping from one track to another, it just does not feel right. Why do Mario and Sonic hate racing on a single track now? The handling still feels better in Mario Kart. Both are disappointing over all. Maybe I will be more lucky with Kirby Air Riders.
My favourites still are Double Dash and Mario Kart 8 (even the Vanilla Wii U game).
Edit: Being so critical all the time is no fun. I think both are good enough to have a fun time.
The Switch 2 losing the best gaming hardware category would be too funny, but as long as something other than Mario Kart World wins multiplayer, I will be content.
@Segakid
And here I am loving it. The game is really fun and the missions are varied and crazy in the right way. I was just rescuing a helicopter from a big spider, using a bulldozer. Then I freed the helicopter from the spider's net. The last part was the most fun, because I was able to shoot down the big mother cockroach and its offspring. And all this, while listening to music, which you will not find in newer games anymore.
Edit: Whoops silly me, you were probably talking about Fantasy Life i. Yep, too much work with no real reward, like cool quests, cool places, just more work.
Toy Commander on my Dreamcast. Finished every mission in the first room. After playing... err working for so long in Fantasy Life i: The Game That Steals Your Time it felt really refreshing to play a real videogame again. I was grinning like a little kid.
I beat Moon a while ago. Very interesting and very weird.
Instead of beating the enemies I can be nice to them until they are friendly? How awesome is that? Setting and artstyle is also really good. Will definitely give it a try, when I can find some time. Thanks for reminding me of its existence.
If I did not have to get an NSO subscription to get the megastones, I would probably still get it, even with the DLC.
One big reason why I loved Arceus is because it was a complete Pokemon game, so I was able to complete the Pokedex. Now I would have to get NSO and the DLC to get the full experience and I do not feel like what has been shown so far is worth these premium prices.
@hisownsidekick I often feel the same way about a lot of my dreams. But I am sure that even those are important. Lucid dreaming can be really cool though.
Interesting vibes and artstyle and a nice trailer. Really curious how good the new Jet Set Radio will be. I hope Hyperfunk and Sega's new game will be awesome with lots of cool music.
The trailer reminded me of a dream, which I had last night. I was on a skateboard flying through a city and it was a lot of fun.
I beat Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time a few days ago. Really enjoying it, so I will play a little bit more. Got my first hero rank jobs and want to continue with the rest of the jobs. A short playthough of Power Stone might be a possibility too.

Re: Prepare For Even More Pokémon This Month, As New Horizons Series Lands UK Release Date
I will watch new Pokemon seasons, if Ash is the main protagonist again. Watched Ash's battle against Delion, it was pretty cool.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
Also for comparison, Super Mario 3D All-Stars sold 210,136 copies when it debuted in Japan.
Re: Final Fantasy VII / VIII Remastered Twin Pack And IX Switch Physical Releases Confirmed For North America
Still have my PlayStation disks. And for some weird reason I have two copies of Final Fantasy IX. I have no idea why.
Even so, it feels like there can not be enough copies of masterpieces, so I am glad that they are releasing this again.
Re: Japanese Charts: Sucker Punch Stops Mario Galaxy Soaring Too High
For comparison Ghost of Tsushima sold 221,915 copies in its debut week.

Re: Sorry, Nintendo's Recent Pikmin Videos Aren't Hinting At Something More
It was cute and entertaining, so mission accomplished. Also looking forward to your next project.
Re: Switch 2 Reportedly Sold 2.4 Million Units In First Three Months On The Market (US)
So it is 1,6 million in June, 2 million in July, and 2,4 million in August.

Played Mass Effect 4 and enjoyed it for what it's worth. If you like the gameplay of Mass Effect you might enjoy 4 too.
Re: Poll: How Many New Games Do You Buy In A Year?
Easily more than 12+ a year. If I can not find something new to play, I just buy old games, until I am in the mood again for new stuff.
Re: Nintendo Updates Animated Short Film 'Close To You' With Some Familiar Faces
I am still curious what this is about. Well done!
Re: Review: Yooka-Replaylee (Switch 2) - Feels Like The Game It Was Meant To Be, Finally
I enjoyed the original. Glad to hear the remake is even better.
Re: Devolver Digital Drops 17-Minute Gameplay Vid For Switch 2 Space Adventure 'Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions'
Looks interesting. The video also made me want to play No Man's Sky.

Seems to be a nice month.
Re: Nintendo Calls On 'Stranger Things' Star To Promote Its New Pokémon Adventure For Switch 2
@LikelySatan
I did not even know about Steambot Chronicles. Looks like a cool game worth playing. Thanks.
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
If Miyamoto-San does not know what it is, then no one does.
A Pikmin movie explaining where all the humans have gone would be very interesting. I enjoyed the cute animation.
Re: More Switch Games Get Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@the_beaver
Since the Switch 1 does not even have backwards compatibility it is clearly not the reason why I think it is a fun device.
It is definitely nice to have backwards compatibility.

Mario and Sonic are awesome, I am glad that we both agree.
Re: Video: SEGA Shares "First Look" At Yakuza Kiwami 3's Combat Gameplay
Yakuza 3 was a really great game and it made me fall in love with the series. An Ex-Yakuza fighting criminals to save orphans, so cool.

Re: Poll: So, Did You Get Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 For Switch?
These are two of Nintendo's best games, but I already have them, and I see no need to buy something again, that I already have.
Re: More Switch Games Get Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
@Stormcloudlive
The Switch 1 gave colours to everyone's life, but sadly it is not strong enough to give the Switch 2 colours.

Re: More Switch Games Get Switch 2 Compatibility Fixes
It is funny how the Switch 1 looks like fun in the picture and the Switch 2 is all doom and gloom.

Nice, thank you very much! It will be very interesting to see the Switch 2 sales.
Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 Available For Purchase At The My Nintendo Store (US)
@JohnnyMind
Do you know, when Nintendo will publish their financial results?
Re: ICYMI: Switch 2 Available For Purchase At The My Nintendo Store (US)
Yeah, I can order the Switch 2 very easily on Amazon. I can even order the Mario Kart World and Pokemon Z-A bundle three times if I want to.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Gets A 6-Minute Overview Trailer For Switch 2

Catching them and researching them really was a lot of fun. And the nature zones felt nice and comforting.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Gets A 6-Minute Overview Trailer For Switch 2
@kal_el_07241
I really hope that they have some nice surprises. But I can already tell that I will be missing the nature vibes of Arceus.
I will wait and see, but I hope for the best. And yeah, if I can still complete the Pokedex without getting the DLC and NSO, I might give this a try.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Gets A 6-Minute Overview Trailer For Switch 2

Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For October & November 2025

Awesome, thanks Level-5! Currently playing and enjoying it. Seems like I will be enjoying it for a good while longer.

Dragon Quest games feel so peaceful, harmonic and familiar, I love it. Nice trailer.
