Strange, why do I feel good after long sessions of Animal Crossing, where I'm basically doing nothing while I feel like I've wasted my day away after long sessions of Puzzle Quest, despite them both being the same: playing a videogame.
I got it, I enjoy it. First time I played Pokemon was Red on the gameboy, in my parents house. Never played diamond/pearl, was kinda burned out on pokemon at that time. Now, I'm playing Diamond, in my own place, on a big TV, in my big comfy couch. Life is good sometimes. The Japanese seem to agree.
Seriously, why do people want a new mario kart when Deluxe is just fine the way it is? ...Unless the next mario kart is a remaster of Double Dash, gimme gimme gimme!
Personally I'm very please that Mario kart Wii got outsold but damn it wasn't all that great looking back at it.
While I bought it without question, this sort of thing should be mandatory for any game. As a kid them PlayStation demo discs were my way of deciding which game I truly wanted.
Read into it, I thought it would actually be a decent deal with the Animal Crossing DLC, seeing that separately cost 25 bucks while this is a full 20 bucks upgrade. But in the small print, if you cancel your upgrade subscription you'll also no longer have access to the Animal Crossing DLC, sneaky...
Remember that reveal and thought it was the biggest joke ever. Now I love the console. The whole gathering at a party is nonsense though, I tried that once. 4 people around a small screen trying to play Mario Party just doesn't work.
Saw some let's play of these games. I don't get it. It comes across as a bad version of Phoenix Wright with just over-the-top teenagers. Well, to each their own.
Yeah it's too high but I wasn't gonna upgrade anyways. I highly doubt that Nintendo will lower the price though, some dislikes on a video will not impact their decisions, enough people will still pay the full price.
I'm looking forward to the direct, but at the same time I feel like the magic has passed. How ironic that this game came to us at the perfect time when we needed escapism the most so now that for most of us things are slowly turning to normal, we no longer truly need our precious island...
The trilogy was one of the best buys I did on the Switch. The whole package just feels like one complete big story. But seeing it's not on the list... Trials and Tribulations.
