Playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for the first time in preparation for 3 coming out in September. Trying to wrap my head around all the intricacies of the battle system and other systems in the game. There is a lot going on!
"As of May 23, 2022, it will no longer be possible to use a credit card to add funds to an account in Nintendo eShop on Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems." So it's a year from now to purchase, but only 3 months to actually add funds with a credit card? Just trying to clarify.
Super pumped! I usually buy physical but I know I will be hopping on to this so much I may just want digital for convenience. I still have all my GBA and DS copies anyway.
I hope more people pick up Windjammers 2 for Switch! It really is a worthy successor to the original after over 25 years and the new mechanics add fun and depth. Right now the online player count is low and I'd love to see more people in ranked matches.
For me I keep buying physical, especially for larger games like RPGs, because I just really love owning cartridges. Although I am starting to buy more digital games due to the cheaper price and the convenience, I will always primarily buy physical.
Looking forward to getting a solid release date for Advance Wars. I really hope they used this extra development time to make a great online multiplayer experience.
Downloaded this on game pass and later on Switch to support Dotemu's great work on this. It is an awesom update to Windjammers that stays true to the original while adding fun new characters and mechanics. Every single online match I've played so far has been completely smooth due to the rollback netcode. Highly recommend!
My son has read all of the other LoZ manga, and has read 1-8 of Twilight Princess. He really enjoyed reading all of them and is waiting for vol. 10 to come out before rereading the entire series. Glad it is ending so I don't have to keep ordering them
I love this concept, so I'm excited to see how this turns out. I never tried Friday the 13th or Dead By Daylight cause I'm not into horror and gore, but I will definitely keep my eye on this.
Why would he admit that the Switch is in the twilight of it's life-cycle? This would discourage people from investing in a Switch right before Christmas.
Hopefully this means they are putting a lot of effort into the online multiplayer. In the meantime, I'll be sticking with my regular Wargroove matches.
Picked up the Castlevania and Contra Anniversary Collections this week since they are each on sale for $5US. Both are really great, especially if you have nostalgia for these series.
The only thing I was bummed about was that we didn't see more info on Advance Wars.
Really looking forward to Triangle Strategy, Castlevania Collection, and maybe I will finally play KOTOR!
I mainly want to see more footage of Advance Wars, along with info on how online matches will work. Xenoblade and Fire Emblem reveals would each be nice as well.
Looking forward to playing this. I wasn't excited enough for it to be a day 1 purchase, but I picked it up the other day when it was on sale for $30US on Amazon.

Re: Poll: Do You Have An Issue With Xenoblade Chronicles' Accents?
If I could say one thing to the developers regarding the voice over accents, I guess it would be " Let's keep going like this, guys."

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - January 2022
@The_Pixel_King Same here. After playing on Game Pass I felt the developer did such a great job I wanted to support by buying on Switch.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Mastery Of Physical Game Sales Hides Limited Digital Growth
For me I keep buying physical, especially for larger games like RPGs, because I just really love owning cartridges. Although I am starting to buy more digital games due to the cheaper price and the convenience, I will always primarily buy physical.
Re: These Gorgeous Hand-Built Pokémon Headphones Will Cost You $500
I've always wanted a pair of Grados, but I am definitely not starting with a $300 or $500 pair.

Re: Feature: 14 Wii Games That Deserve Switch Ports
I still play some Tatsunoko vs. Capcom once in a while. That game became rare pretty quick so it would be great if more people got to play it.

Re: Wow, Nintendo Switch Was First Revealed Five Years Ago Today
My only regret with the Switch is I still haven't played it at a hipster rooftop party...
