I’m glad these are available but I’d be so much more tempted by the collection treatment. Which I realise is silly as just having them is the main thing.
I’m still inching my way through Persona 5 at the rate of about a palace a week. I’ve just passed the 5th one and I’m starting to max out some confidants now.
A little bit of Soul Hackers too when I’m not playing Persona.
I just finished Steins Gate, getting most of the endings. It was fantastic, a slow start but I’m glad I stuck with it. I played the OG version but I’d recommend Elite for those on the fence as it’s on sale.
After the recent SMT III and V news I’ve just started SMT Soul Hackers (3DS) for when I’m not playing Persona 5 on the TV.
I’ve finally finished Persona Q2, which was great. Atlus love their enhanced ports so maybe one day it will come to Switch with an English dub.
Probably more likely than Persona 5! Which I’ve given up hoping for so I’m playing on PS3 when I have the telly. I’m chipping away at Persona 4 Dancing’s story when I don’t.
Persona 5 when I have access to the TV and Persona Q2 when I don’t.
I had started Persona 5 last year, but after the first palace I was waiting to see if a Switch version was likely. Especially as you can’t save anywhere it’s harder for me to get through on the TV as I only get snatched moments where the rest of the family aren’t using it.
Persona Q2 I’ve been playing on and on off in bursts for a while.
I am playing through the first game as I only recently got a Vita and I was interested in the series.
It’s glacial pace means it’s not something I’ll want to binge from one game to the next, so it might be a year or so for me to get to the Switch entries.

Re: Nintendo 3DS Production Has Officially Come To An End
That’s sad.
I got mine on day 1 and I’m still playing it now - I started Dragon Quest VIII last night!
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D All-Stars - Three Of Mario's Greatest Adventures Come To Switch
My kids are just as excited as me for this arriving in the next few days.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Four More Titles
@Pod there is Mario 35 too I suppose. I don’t play online much but I will be renewing my subscription regardless.
I like having the NES and SNES games there but I don’t play retro games as much these days. They’re mainly for my kids ‘history of Mario’ lessons 😊
I’ve decided to play through A Link To The Past soonish so I’m making use of it.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase To Air Tomorrow
I loved the Atlus showcase. It launched my most wanted new game and remaster.
So I think with this kind of presentation it all depends on whether the game they reveal is your thing or not.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Four More Titles
I do love Picross but there’s not much this September to stop people’s annual subscriptions lapsing.
I was hoping for Gameboy games, or Earthbound, FFVI and Chrono Trigger. Something bigger.
Re: Join Us For The Nintendo Life Indie Spotlight At PAX Online 2020
I’ve been following the site for a decade and this is really exciting news for NL
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 12th)
Just Ys VIII now I’ve beaten Catherine.
Both have surprised me with how much fun they are.
Re: Poll: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is One Week Away - Which Game Will You Play First?
Galaxy is one of my favourite games of all time, so I’m looking forward to playing through it again to show the kids.
Re: Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game – Complete Edition Announced For Switch
Huh. It’s not April 1st?
Re: Nintendo Reveals Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, A New Zelda Set 100 Years Before Breath Of The Wild
If Persona 5S isn’t coming out this year I might just pick this up. I really enjoyed the first Hyrule Warriors game.
Re: It's Not Out Yet, But Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is Already 2020's Second Best-Selling Game On Amazon
Well, I’m one of these.
Re: Soapbox: Astral Chain Was The Game Nintendo Needed Most In Its 2019 Switch Lineup
I got around to playing it in the spring and I really enjoyed it. I would be interested in a sequel.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 5th)
Catherine and Ys VIII for me.
Both are absolutely fantastic and might end up in my top 10 favourite Switch games.
Re: Super Mario All-Stars Is Now Available On Nintendo's Switch Online SNES Service
I had this on SNES and I still have it on Wii but it will be nice to show the collection to my kids.
Covid home schooling has had plenty of ‘history of Mario’ lessons!
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Lands On Switch On 18th September, And It's A Limited-Time Thing
I can’t believe it’s 10 years already since I picked up the All Stars collection on Wii, which was also limited.
Re: Video: Atlus Gives Us Another Look At The Shin Megami Tensei III Remaster
This really looks like the quintessential SMT game... that I’ve never played.
I’m so tempted after watching this to play my ps2 copy but I will hold off for this version now.
I have been listening to the soundtrack quite a bit lately, which is fantastic.
Re: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Is Coming To Switch In 'Summer 2021', Following A PS4 Debut In February
I’m playing VIII now as my first Ys experience and I’m loving exploring the island.
I’m not sure if exploring a city here would be as much fun though? I might wait on reviews to see if this is just as good.
Re: Review: King of Fighters R-2 - A Pocket-Sized Fighter That Still Packs A Punch
I’m glad these are available but I’d be so much more tempted by the collection treatment. Which I realise is silly as just having them is the main thing.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tuesday 18th August
Disco Elysium is the main game I’m waiting for.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 15th)
As I predicted last week I’m still playing Persona 5 and Soul Hackers.
I might be nearing the end this week on both though now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 8th)
Persona 5 and Soul Hackers for me.
Like last weekend and I suspect next weekend too!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 1st)
I’m still inching my way through Persona 5 at the rate of about a palace a week. I’ve just passed the 5th one and I’m starting to max out some confidants now.
A little bit of Soul Hackers too when I’m not playing Persona.
Re: Persona 5 Scramble Still Planned For The West, According To Koei Tecmo Report
It’s a shame they didn’t seem to get the voice actors to record their lines at the same time as P5R or the animation.
But after playing Persona Q2 without a dub recently, I think for this game I’d rather be patient and await the localisation.
I still find it strange given both companies involved that there’s no dlc as yet.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 25th)
I just finished Steins Gate, getting most of the endings. It was fantastic, a slow start but I’m glad I stuck with it. I played the OG version but I’d recommend Elite for those on the fence as it’s on sale.

Re: Spike Chunsoft's Summer Sale Offers Up To 80% Off Selected Switch Titles
AI was fantastic. I’ve just beaten Steins Gate but it was the OG version.
I’m now tempted to check out more of their games in future sales.
Re: Square Enix Is Offering Up To 50% Off Final Fantasy, Trials Of Mana And More
I was waiting for FFIX to drop again, so I’ve picked that up.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Remaster Is Getting Some Limited Edition Goodies In Japan
I’d be very tempted if only I had space for this stuff!
Re: Nintendo Reveals Average Age And Salary Of Its Employees (As Of March 2020)
I’m the age of the average employee then, if only I had the salary!
Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase Meet Your Expectations?
SMT III AND SMT V. This was the best Direct ever!
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Is Getting A Simultaneous Global Launch On Nintendo Switch Next Year
I turned on my phone, and couldn’t believe my eyes!
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Alongside The Fifth Game
I’ve only just seen this. So so so so hyped!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 18th)
Last night I beat the 3rd palace in Persona 5. I’m also on the 3rd chapter of Steins Gate.
It’s my birthday today so there might not be much gaming time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 11th)
I’ve finally finished Persona Q2, which was great. Atlus love their enhanced ports so maybe one day it will come to Switch with an English dub.
Probably more likely than Persona 5! Which I’ve given up hoping for so I’m playing on PS3 when I have the telly. I’m chipping away at Persona 4 Dancing’s story when I don’t.
There is a bit of a theme here.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th July (Europe)
I assume the press release was out of date saying CrossCode is coming in 2019?
I’ve picked up Catherine this week
Re: Atlus Says Persona 5 Scramble's Sales Exceeded Its Expectations
They’ve localised the anime now, it doesn’t seem like things were voiced at the same time with that and P5R all coming separately.
I’m currently playing through original P5 and I replayed the demo for P5S on Sunday. I can’t wait.
Re: Reminder: Catherine: Full Body Is Out Now For The Nintendo Switch
My copy arrived yesterday. Finally the first Atlus published game on Switch. I’ve put to one side for my birthday later this month.
I didn’t get the keychain though.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei Is Being Added To Japan's NSO Super Famicom Collection
Another game I can be jealous of, alongside Fire Emblem not being translated (I understand why).
I will give it a try on the Famicom app.
Re: Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum'n'Fun! Surpasses One Million Sales, Free DLC Promised For Japan
I have the Japanese version and getting dlc has always been a bit of a faff, so this will be great for me
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 4th)
Persona 5 when I have access to the TV and Persona Q2 when I don’t.
I had started Persona 5 last year, but after the first palace I was waiting to see if a Switch version was likely. Especially as you can’t save anywhere it’s harder for me to get through on the TV as I only get snatched moments where the rest of the family aren’t using it.

Re: Review: Catherine: Full Body - The Ultimate Version Of A Surreal Cult Classic
I’ll be saving my copy as a birthday present to myself. I can’t wait to finally play this game.
Re: Video: 12 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In July
Catherine for me, maybe Paper Mario depending on how it’s received.
Re: PlatinumGames Addresses Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Custom Fees, And Backers Aren't Happy
This is technically something they can’t control, but the whole experience hasn’t been positive for me.
The cool 3D visual slip case cheered me up a bit at least.
Re: Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Backers Hit With Customs Charges And Handling Fees
I was starting to wonder if my copy is ever going to arrive.
I guess I know now reading this it’s on its way.
My first and likely last Kickstarter experience.
Re: Review: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III - Falcom's Famous Series Was Worth The Wait On Switch
I am playing through the first game as I only recently got a Vita and I was interested in the series.
It’s glacial pace means it’s not something I’ll want to binge from one game to the next, so it might be a year or so for me to get to the Switch entries.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 27th)
I’m still inching my way through Trails Of Cold Steel (Vita). It really is a slow burn.
I understand it will be setting up for the second game but hopefully a few payoffs from all the narrative threads before it ends.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th June (Europe)
The VA-11 Hall-A discount is tempting.
I dunno if I’d prefer playing this on Vita though, it’s beautiful and smaller screen suits me for VNs better (in my limited experience so far)
Re: Shiren The Wanderer: The Tower Of Fortune And The Dice Of Fate Scores Western Switch Release
This looks really good. I still haven’t given my copy of Etrian Mystery Dungeon a try yet though.
Re: NIS America Is Bringing Ys IX: Monstrum Nox To The West In 2021
With Trails and Ys I think Falcom won this conference.
Not that Atlus showed up really.
Re: Video: Catherine: Full Body Gets New Switch Trailer Ahead Of Next Month's Launch
I guess Persona 5S is still waiting to get translated then
Re: Min Min Revealed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next Fighter
I mostly mained Min Min so this is marvellous.
