Looking forward to playing tonight! Being on the easier side is a plus for me, as I'm not a combo master anyway. Can't wait to use that Beta Ray Bill/Silver Surfer team!
Oh man! These two were top of my wishlist (Silver Surfer on the expected side, Beta Ray Bill on the I can dream side). I knew I’d be picking this up, but I didn’t think it would have to be on launch day!
@Teksette I'll second the TRON cartoon. Not in my top serialized cartoons of all time (ATLA, Ducktales2017, Gravity Falls), but it was definitely a good watch.
@Ulysses Yeah, some Polly Pocket style sets would be really cool. I did a bunch of the Mega Construx Pokéballs, so I’d like to see something different. Small, molded figures in micro playsets would definitely be something I’d be interested in.
Yep. It’s been shut down for 12 hours now, and I already miss it. I played way back at the beginning, then picked it back up a month ago when news about the Complete version came out - I wanted to evaluate if it was worth buying. Welp, I’ll be buying as soon as I can!
Was definitely hoping for a hint at Amy appearing (based on nothing other than her being part of the core 4), but the trailer looked great! I'm sure we'll enjoy this as much as the first two!
@Ryu_Niiyama Nice! I’m a little jealous - I finally have a spot where it could fit, but went a different direction back when it was financially viable.
Too late to change them now, but I needed two definitions.
1) Is an individual joy con just the left (or right) part? I have 3/6, and put 6 on that one.
2) Define backlog. I’ve booted up every game I own at least once, but I wouldn’t consider a fair number of them to be really “played.” I’m guessing that one is an eye of the beholder type answer.
I didn't have a Switch when TotK was about to release (had a Lite during early Covid and played BotW - sold it after because I kind of felt like that was the capstone of video gaming), so I watched a YouTube video with all the TotK cutscenes the night before it was released.
The next day, release day, my wife surprised me with a Switch as a semi-late birthday present! I put off getting TotK because I'd seen the story (which I liked a lot! Not much of a shipper, but I still really feel like Link and Zelda being a thing should have at least been hinted at in the last scene, but hey...). Finally got it a couple month later, but struggled to get into it. Is it the crafting? The less novelty? That I knew the storyline? Not enough years between? I don't know.
All that to say (probably surprisingly), I've picked it up again a couple days ago, finally headed up Death Mountain for the second temple. I think I like TotK better. Someone else commented that it seems happier, and I'd have to agree. Even with the Depths, I like seeing more people around Hyrule and less of an overarching sense of gloom. But, as many have said, that initial feel of exploration and discovery in BotW is unmatched. Setting that feeling aside, I think TotK is a better game, and one I imagine I'll keeping picking up and taking breaks from for years to come.
@Ryu_Niiyama Isn't that the truth. We decided a whole room for LEGO displays wasn't reasonable, so it's flowers for us, too. I may sneak in that Encanto Isabella Flower Pot, though.
I’m already there. I’ve got Mario Party Superstars, which my kid picked out the day my wife bought me the Switch, loaded permanently in the cartridge slot, and everything else digital.
Depends on the game and my commitment ahead of time. I watched all the cutscenes for TotK the night before it came out, and it's definitely made me less interested in playing overall (only through the Wind Temple). That said, I did not have a Switch when I started watching it, and my wife surprised me with one literally while I was watching the biggest spoiler cutscene near the end, so I probably wouldn't have watched it had I known I was about to have a Switch again.
@Dazman I wouldn’t call it trash, but man do I agree about the disappointment of having no characters or tracks to unlock. Like, parts are fine as one of many things to get, but I want a game that starts with 6-8 racers max and ends up with 72. It’s part of why I’ve put way more time into Smash vs Mario Kart.
@Furealz I really enjoyed the demo! I bought the original for Dreamcast when GameStop was clearing out a bunch of stuff at the system’s end of life, but never had the maracas. Really enjoyed playing the demo with the joycons, and absolutely looking forward to having this soon!

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?
You're missing "Absolutely Not - I already only buy digital"
Re: Scrooge McDuck Joins 'Disney Illusion Island' In Free Update This May
It probably should have been Daisy. But also, it should absolutely be Scrooge. Woo-oo!

Re: 'Pokémon Champions', A New Battle-Focused Game, Announced For Switch And Mobile
@Hoshiko I mean, Pocket Monsters. I know the real issue here is IAP and F2P junk, but mobile did sort of replace the Game Boy.
Re: Talking Point: Everyone Else Is Busy Revealing Switch 2 - What Gives, Nintendo?
@AussieMcBucket It won't be, but in another place some suggested Swiitch as the name, lol.
As many other comments have said, I bet the launch presentation will be as much, if not more, about the release titles.

@RubyCarbuncle Blue Justice? That's the opening sequence for the Sonic 2 movie.

Re: Talking Point: What DS & 3DS Games Would You Still Like To See On Switch?
Oh man, I'd be all over Samus Returns and Sonic Rush+Adventure.

Re: Forget The Sonic Movie, The First Trailer Is Here For Knuckles' Spin-Off Show
I am SO HERE for this! I was sure this was going to be a prequel - way more excited for it to follow Sonic 2. More Adam Pally? Sign me up.
