Fantasy Life i (went around Ginormosia, did many requests and so got Strangelings - also did many Life quests and so ranked up the Alchemist Life; 6 Chapters - Lives 5 Master, 6 Expert and 3 Adept Rank - 76 Personal Requests - 91/148 Monsters, 78/138 Resources, 48/49 Strangelings, 48/50 Characters);

Even more so in this case I'd wait for official confirmation to avoid potential disappointment (based on the datamine it could be something else) - anyway, looking forward to seeing/hearing more of the announced additional contents whenever they're ready and giving Requiem at least a try myself at some point!
Waiting for official confirmation even though it seems more likely than not, but nice if confirmed - definitely interested in giving this a try myself if it comes also to Switch 2 (of course I'm more interested in Shadows first and foremost personally, but still)!
Fingers crossed for those interested in this movie (not me included, not particularly interested in Call of Duty in general) - regardless, what's mentioned in the quote is nice!
Right in time for the release of the physical version, glad for those who wanted to give this a try before potentially getting the full release - looking forward to playing the latter myself as soon as I can (my copy arrived earlier today along with Pragmata)!
Love to hear they enjoyed it so much - looking forward to playing this (and also the other OPUS games) myself even more than I already was at some point!
Personally, I'll just stick to digital version that I already have (so looking forward to playing this game myself when I can after all the great things I've heard about it) - that said, love to hear that it's getting a physical release for those interested in it!
Think I've at least heard of the original as it rings a bell - anyway, good to hear it's getting a sequel and that it's coming also to Switch 2 for those interested in it (potentially me included and I might play this one first)!
Yep, have seen it mentioned on the Nintendo Life forums earlier today - glad this now has a precise release date, preordering it as soon as possible and looking forward to starting it when my copy arrives (most likely and hopefully by then I'll have finished the first game considering I'm currently playing it)!
... Already available on Italian Amazon so I've just preordered it!
If available also here in Italy I'll keep it in mind in case I ever need a simpler "dock" for travel (at home I'll definitely keep on using the official one also for the Ethernet connection and the GameCube adapter) - I've seen a similar one at my sister's house and yep, that worked well, too!
@Zeeba Yeah, the Clover Pit scam is apparently from the same publisher as this latest Hytale one (don't know who's behind the Megabonk one) - even assuming Nintendo hopefully remove those at some point, how I wish people could hide such "games"/publishers themselves!
Thanks for the review, personally I'm still more interested in the 8BitDo Arcade Controller if I ever go for one of these, but it's cool that there are so many variants (and the system to adjust the height of the buttons is pretty interesting, too) - hope those going for this one will enjoy it!
Giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're making an actual game better not risk anyone trying to take it down à la Palworld (although again in that case Nintendo and co. didn't, most likely because they couldn't despite the similarities, sue them for copyright copyright infringement unlike Chinesemobile games and instead went for that patents nonsense) - personally, I'd rather see more games than less as long as not straight up fake, scam games as we've recently seen in the case of "Hytale" on the eShop!
Yep, perfectly in line with most Bond theme songs other than being great in itself (not surprising considering Arnold's work on previous ones and Bond scores in general, but still) - looking forward to seeing and hearing more about this game even more than I already was and then playing it myself whenever it comes to Switch 2 and I have the time for it!
Nice to see another Telltale series on Switch, happy for those interested in it (not me included at least for now since I haven't watched The Expanse yet - should finally play the Batman ones when I can first and foremost)!
I'm really curious to give Assault a try myself (hope it will eventually come to NSO to do so in a more convenient way), even just based on what I've heard of it I feel like that concept is worth further exploring with better execution - one thing's for sure, I definitely don't want to see yet another retelling of Star Fox/64/Zero!
Was perfectly fine for me when I played the demo and yeah, most likely the same will apply to the full release based on the review first and now this (would be great if they could make it even better through patches à la Requiem, though) - anyway, so looking forward to my copy and then starting it as soon as I can!
My copy of Tomodachi Life arrived earlier today and I downloaded Hello, Yoshi! back when it got released on the Japanese eShop, preordered also PRAGMATA, I'm considering getting MOUSE: P.I. For Hire (waiting for Nitendo Life's review before potentially preordering a physical copy), I'll eventually get Vampire Crawlers for sure - voting for the games up to here -, most likely also Gecko Gods and that should be it!
Like others here have already said it actually looks quite promising as a Street Fighter live-action movie specifically - personally, that along with it being enjoyable for most of those interested in it (the more I see it the more me included) is what matters the most!
Weaker week for everything, but especially PS5 unsurprisingly... Anyway, happy to see Pokopia still on top, World in 2nd, New Horizons in 5th and 6th (so actually would be in 3rd if you combined the sales), FireRed & LeafGreen in 7th, Ultimate in 8th, Fever in 9th and of course Switch 2 on top of the hardware charts and yet Switch still sells, this week the Lite one in particular!
Unfortunately some people mostly if not completely disregard (and not only because they genuinely don't know) those aspects and accuse devs of being "lazy" etc. when that's far from the case, even more ridiculous when it comes to smaller teams like this one...
Leaving that aside, nice that you got to play this earlier along with interviewing Simon - so glad this performance mode is now here, looking forward to finally playing Yooka-Replaylee even more than I already was as soon as I can!
Didn't expect it to come so soon after the teases, nice - looking forward to finally playing Yooka-Replaylee (and so Yooka-Laylee in general, haven't played the original and not even Impossible Lair yet) as soon as I can even more than I already was!
Waiting for this to be confirmed, but if that's the case then I'll even more so gladly stick to my Switch physical copy plus free digital upgrade - if it weren't for the original Switch release this would be exclusively digital (and unless you need a replacement box like luckily I did in the case of the few code-in-a-box I ended up getting by mistake it genuinely is a waste of plastic) instead of that plus the hybrid Game-Key Card as an option...
As close as I'm getting to finishing playing Legends Arceus and so finally starting Z-A I doubt I'll be able to take part in this (most likely I'll eventually do ranked once for the Mega Stones and that will be it) - anyway, hope those participating will have fun!
As much as I hope the upscaling will be improved, personally I'm glad I got the upgrade even as is considering the 60fps, the latter is way more of an improvement than the former being a drawback for me - anyway, glad this is now available also fully physically for those interested in it (not me included since as abovementioned I already got the upgrade digitally for my Switch physical copy)!
Not an issue (but still pretty funny) in Japanese since they practically always abbreviate titles, mostly by taking the first two moras of two words and so making a four-moras word like for example モンハン MonHun for モンスターハンター Monster Hunter - anyway, nice that this is coming also to Switch and even more so since it looks like it might be fun, if that ends up being the case I'll consider giving it a try myself at some point!
Apparently it's already delisted on Steam, considering that it's even riskier but I might still wait for further information about the Switch version specifically before purchasing it (even more so since it isn't discounted currently) - how I wish licensing didn't work this way and so there wouldn't be such problems in the first place!
Again, while of course plans can change ratings are way more concrete than rumors - anyway, glad to hear this should be coming also to Switch 2 for those interested in it (potentially me included at some point, but even just when it comes to Bethesda games there are other ones that I'd like to play before this)!
@AussieMcBucket @Robot99 Doubt this is related to Golden Week as it's from 29 April to 5 May - when it comes to that my guess is that we'll get a regular if not bigger update right before it on the 28th and then another break the week after, but of course we'll just have to wait and see.
Nice to see a Nintendo Music update and icons in occasion of Tomodachi Life's release to further promote both NSO and the game - that said, personally I'll listen to the former in game first and foremost (can't wait for my copy to arrive hopefully today and start the full release after playing the demo) while I'll try to get all the icons as usual!
People datamine games all the time regardless but yeah, this certainly doesn't help - anyway, looking forward to playing more Wonder thanks to this Switch 2 Edition when I can (most likely when I finish Tennis Fever and before starting Air Riders, but we'll see)!
Yep, have already seen it on the April Event Calendar, as usual taking part in this on stream - hope others participating will also have fun and fingers crossed we eventually get some Angry Birds games on Switch, too (a collection would be a great starting point)!
Most certainly the 60fps patch for the Switch 2 version (maybe along with something else? We'll see) which would absolutely be welcome in general and also personally since I haven't played Replaylee yet - regardless although even more so in that case, looking forward to finally playing it myself when I can!
@GoproGO After checking their review more extensively I've seen that the focus is exclusively on the sharing aspect - that said, I can see where the confusion in this article is coming from when the IGN review includes lines such as "What good are toys if you can’t play with your friends, or at the very least show them off?" when that's far from the case beyond the sharing and ironically it even mentions GameChat, but only to suggest that Nintendo should've implemented sharing in a similar way while completely ignoring its actual function present in this game...
And this is exactly why instead of general restrictions that could affect also if not exclusively genuine creators (potentially including PowerWash Simulator 2's First DLC Pack? That's just an educated guess also based on what's mentioned in the first related article, mind you) I wish people could hide such games/publishers as even assuming Nintendo hopefully remove this it will take time - anyway, wish the best to Hypixel Studios and it would be great if the actual Hytale eventually came also to Switch 1 and/or 2!
The restricted sharing features are certainly a bummer while I don't get where the IGN review is coming from about the "lack of ability to play [...] with friends", the previous games were on handheld so others couldn't properly watch you playing the game there unlike in this version as again mentioned also by the devs themselves, even more so on Switch 2 with GameChat support (and if that doesn't count then StreetPass in the 3DS version shouldn't either as cool as that was in its own way) - leaving that aside, glad to hear most enjoyed it!
Not sure how it will go (I wasn't the best at the funnily mentioned Odyssey jump rope), but I'm definitely taking part in this - looking forward to the event after even more, though!
@Fighting_Game_Loser Apart from potential technical aspects which I don't know if they apply to Cronos specifically, there's definitely the price one: digitally it starts at $60 etc. so to release it fully physically they would've had to increase that to at least $70 if not even $80 considering games like Hades II and Yooka-Replaylee - again, it certainly doesn't help that people have been complaining about starting prices and especially those of fully physical games ever since the start of the Switch 2 gen (also before, but to a lesser extent)...
If confirmed - more likely than not, but glad you reached out for clarification - I'm glad for those interested in this (obviously not me included considering its genre, but still)!
So as expected it's exactly like the previous Tomodachi Life games but expanded, especially when it comes to the customization as also mentioned in the relative Ask the Developer - of course your mileage may vary considering that, but for fans of the series, absolutely me included (and there are a lot of us considering previous sales etc.), it's a dream come true and even more so after playing the demo I can't wait to continue playing the game as soon as my copy of the full release arrives!
Glad he passed away "peacefully in his home" but still, sad to hear and condolences to his family and friends - I've got the pleasure to hear his performances in Star Fox 64 for sure and most likely also other ones (the latter incidentally though since I've played games like Professor Layton with the Italian voices myself etc.), thanks for the memories!
That's Nintendo for you for better (most of their systems) or worse (Wii U and Virtual Boy) in general even if you don't consider a Switch 3 yet since 2 has practically just come out while Steam is the biggest when it comes to PC gaming - in fact, that's exactly why I'll gladly stick to the former first and foremost and the latter is my biggest consideration when it comes to a potential secondary platform, especially if they eventually release a successor to the Steam Deck!
While of course plans can change yeah, as already mentioned here ratings are way more concrete than rumors/"leaks" - fingers crossed the former doesn't happen and so this ends up coming to Switch for those interested in it (not particularly me included personally, but still)!
Unsurprisingly after this latest trailer I'm looking forward to Pragmata even more than I already was - waiting for my copy to arrive and then starting it as soon as I can (most likely not immediately, but in around a week or two)!
Glad they're continuing to improve this game in general and in the case of this patch on Switch 2 specifically - hope those playing it will further enjoy it thanks to that!
I feel like it might be too late and that many won't be interested in Project Helix even with exclusives (also considering the most likely high price, but that's not the only factor) and so just hurt the games themselves - regardless, of course Call of Duty shouldn't become an exclusive anytime soon, they haven't brought it to Nintendo systems yet despite the fricking "10-year commitment" mentioned also among the related articles... and I'm saying that as someone not particularly interested in those games, but it's absolutely ridiculous!
Doubt I'll immediately play it again together with my friends, but I might download it already just for convenience sake - anyway, glad to hear they're already working on a patch to fix it and looking forward to playing the Switch 2 version of Overwatch after that has come out!
@garfreek Yeah, I didn't see it in stores here in Italy at the time either, only found it later at a convention I think other than of course online - fingers crossed it eventually comes, would love to play more of it myself and even more so for those who've never played it yet (and if we end up getting Wii games on NSO at some point I really hope we'll get the sequel, that one straight up didn't come to Europe although funnily enough I played that more as I imported it and modded my Wii for that, mods etc.)!
Hadn't heard about the crashes, glad that there's now this bug fix - looking forward to replaying both Colosseum and XD whenever their time comes for my channel and finally finishing them this time (got really close to doing so for both back in the day)!

Re: Pokémon & Zelda Rip-Off 'Pickmos' Removed From Steam As Publisher Intervenes

Re: Review: Hautepad C-AT Arcade Controller For Switch 1 & 2 – Unparalleled Versatility

Re: Sunsoft's Upcoming Switch Game Has One Of The Most Ridiculous Titles Ever

Re: Nintendo Music Celebrates Tomodachi Life Switch Launch With Special Update
@AussieMcBucket @Robot99 Doubt this is related to Golden Week as it's from 29 April to 5 May - when it comes to that my guess is that we'll get a regular if not bigger update right before it on the 28th and then another break the week after, but of course we'll just have to wait and see.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream
@GoproGO After checking their review more extensively I've seen that the focus is exclusively on the sharing aspect - that said, I can see where the confusion in this article is coming from when the IGN review includes lines such as "What good are toys if you can’t play with your friends, or at the very least show them off?" when that's far from the case beyond the sharing and ironically it even mentions GameChat, but only to suggest that Nintendo should've implemented sharing in a similar way while completely ignoring its actual function present in this game...
Re: 'Hytale' Dev Seeks Legal Action Against Knock-Off Switch eShop Game
And this is exactly why instead of general restrictions that could affect also if not exclusively genuine creators (potentially including PowerWash Simulator 2's First DLC Pack? That's just an educated guess also based on what's mentioned in the first related article, mind you) I wish people could hide such games/publishers as even assuming Nintendo hopefully remove this it will take time - anyway, wish the best to Hypixel Studios and it would be great if the actual Hytale eventually came also to Switch 1 and/or 2!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream

Re: Layers Of Fear Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch 2
@Fighting_Game_Loser Apart from potential technical aspects which I don't know if they apply to Cronos specifically, there's definitely the price one: digitally it starts at $60 etc. so to release it fully physically they would've had to increase that to at least $70 if not even $80 considering games like Hades II and Yooka-Replaylee - again, it certainly doesn't help that people have been complaining about starting prices and especially those of fully physical games ever since the start of the Switch 2 gen (also before, but to a lesser extent)...
Re: Layers Of Fear Is Getting A Physical Release On Switch 2
If confirmed - more likely than not, but glad you reached out for clarification - I'm glad for those interested in this (obviously not me included considering its genre, but still)!
Re: Review: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream (Switch) - BREAKING NEWS: Mii Life Is Still Bizarre, Hilarious, And A Bit Samey
So as expected it's exactly like the previous Tomodachi Life games but expanded, especially when it comes to the customization as also mentioned in the relative Ask the Developer - of course your mileage may vary considering that, but for fans of the series, absolutely me included (and there are a lot of us considering previous sales etc.), it's a dream come true and even more so after playing the demo I can't wait to continue playing the game as soon as my copy of the full release arrives!
Re: Jock Blaney, The Voice Of Star Fox 64's Wolf & Bill Grey, Has Died
Glad he passed away "peacefully in his home" but still, sad to hear and condolences to his family and friends - I've got the pleasure to hear his performances in Star Fox 64 for sure and most likely also other ones (the latter incidentally though since I've played games like Professor Layton with the Italian voices myself etc.), thanks for the memories!
Re: "Are You High?" – Xbox Co-Creator Believes Whatever Nintendo Makes Next Is Far More Interesting Than Project Helix
That's Nintendo for you for better (most of their systems) or worse (Wii U and Virtual Boy) in general even if you don't consider a Switch 3 yet since 2 has practically just come out while Steam is the biggest when it comes to PC gaming - in fact, that's exactly why I'll gladly stick to the former first and foremost and the latter is my biggest consideration when it comes to a potential secondary platform, especially if they eventually release a successor to the Steam Deck!
Re: Random: Diablo 4: Lord Of Hatred Nintendo Rating Surfaces Online
While of course plans can change yeah, as already mentioned here ratings are way more concrete than rumors/"leaks" - fingers crossed the former doesn't happen and so this ends up coming to Switch for those interested in it (not particularly me included personally, but still)!
Re: Video: Capcom Shares A Big Surprise In Its Latest Pragmata Trailer
Unsurprisingly after this latest trailer I'm looking forward to Pragmata even more than I already was - waiting for my copy to arrive and then starting it as soon as I can (most likely not immediately, but in around a week or two)!
Re: Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake Is Getting Another Switch 2 Patch
Glad they're continuing to improve this game in general and in the case of this patch on Switch 2 specifically - hope those playing it will further enjoy it thanks to that!
Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Having "Very Big Discussions" About Exclusivity
I feel like it might be too late and that many won't be interested in Project Helix even with exclusives (also considering the most likely high price, but that's not the only factor) and so just hurt the games themselves - regardless, of course Call of Duty shouldn't become an exclusive anytime soon, they haven't brought it to Nintendo systems yet despite the fricking "10-year commitment" mentioned also among the related articles... and I'm saying that as someone not particularly interested in those games, but it's absolutely ridiculous!
Re: Overwatch Is Out Now For Switch 2, But It's Got Some Performance Issues
Doubt I'll immediately play it again together with my friends, but I might download it already just for convenience sake - anyway, glad to hear they're already working on a patch to fix it and looking forward to playing the Switch 2 version of Overwatch after that has come out!
Re: Nintendo's GameCube App Has Received A Small Update Today (Version 1.6.1)
@garfreek Yeah, I didn't see it in stores here in Italy at the time either, only found it later at a convention I think other than of course online - fingers crossed it eventually comes, would love to play more of it myself and even more so for those who've never played it yet (and if we end up getting Wii games on NSO at some point I really hope we'll get the sequel, that one straight up didn't come to Europe although funnily enough I played that more as I imported it and modded my Wii for that, mods etc.)!
Re: Nintendo's GameCube App Has Received A Small Update Today (Version 1.6.1)
Hadn't heard about the crashes, glad that there's now this bug fix - looking forward to replaying both Colosseum and XD whenever their time comes for my channel and finally finishing them this time (got really close to doing so for both back in the day)!
