Why are people commenting about the "fine print"? The article states that, despite Platinum Games saying it was there, said fine print was not even there when most people pledged their support. It isn't that people didn't read the fine print, but that it wasn't there to begin with. That's why people are even more mad now.

@HappyMaskedGuy For someone with the word "Happy" in their username, that was really a pointlessly stupid and negative criticism over something literally harmless.

I'm probably the only one who will want it, but i'm getting realMYST. I used to enjoy the original way back in the day and this will bring back a lot of nostalgic memories.

That required 5GB of internal memory is a big turn off.

I love this theme. I find myself actually doing better and placing higher because the music is more relaxed,

Great video, @Ziondood! It's simply fascinating to think back on my life and realize just how much video games played a part in my growing up. How many school projects I did about games I was into at the time, and following the timeline of my life and seeing how that has informed the kinds of games I play to this day.

I still think Super Mario Run was the best of the bunch. It's flat rate pricing turned a lot of people off, but for $10, I found it to be a pretty fun game with lots of levels to work through without microtransactions - and even moreso when it would go on sale for $5.

A physical version for Switch is available to preorder on 2K's website, so this would mirror NBA2K18 in which it released digitally on street date with aa physical version to follow thereafter.

Man, I would have to be in the comment section of anything Sword/Shield related and dared to say that I actually liked the game. I suspect more people may enjoy these games than speak up for fear of having people jump down their throats.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, obviously. But for some reason, the comments about these games in particular are always pretty ugly.

Great! After a break, we get two new themes in the span of a month!

So much anger and defensiveness in these comments. No one is telling you that you have to quit playing your 3DS nor invalidate the fun you had (or still have) with it. Stating the inevitable - that the system flat out hasn't had any major meaningful support for it for over two years now isn't an insult. No one is denying the 3DS has a fantastic library of games. But when the "coming soon" page on Nintendo's website has but one or two indie titles on it (if that), it is a console that is clearly well past its prime, hence the "time' has come that the system is very much in the rear-view mirror as far as new content coming.

Certainly doesn't mean people can't still play it and enjoy it.

I would be shocked if some of these most requested ideas and QOL updates don't make it into the game at some point. These requests are pretty level headed and would be easy to implement.

Great fan-made presentation, too!

It never ceases to amaze me how creative people can be.

Well, the nooklings give you 10 bells per clump of weeds. Ten bells = a dimebag.

Facebook may be onto something here.

I'm always amused at the number of people who hate EA and insist they don't want EA games on the Switch. I don't understand this way of thinking. You do realize that a good portion of the 53 million Switch owners out there don't have any idea about EA's bad blood with Nintendo and would welcome games like Madden and NHL and others on the console. Some EA games would probably sell very well on Switch, such as The Sims or Peggle/Plants vs Zombies...

It does no damage to have EA games on Switch and will likely raise its profile to see a Madden game on Switch alongside the other consoles. You don't have to get them if they do release, but I think it would be great for the system and for those who play those games and like gaming on the Switch.

@RPGamer Mine is no where near as awesome as other peoples', either. I've really had to learn to just be happy with what I have. There will always be others way more creative than me. haha

@Octane Its quite annoying for such a small little thing, too. That flag throws off the alignment in my mobile browser so any article he comments on, it makes any comment after his very hard to read.

Had to put him on my ignore list just for that small reason. haha

I love that choice of photo. Hahaha!

How much was this game when it first launched on other consoles?

That description for My Secret Pets! is kind of really creepy.

I am still a fan of physical strategy guides, even though a few updates will make the guide behind the times... it's great to have as a fan of the game. I still have mine from the original game, and looking through it is like looking through a yearbook of memories.

I love the tagline on the official site of "It's Happening Again".

Straight out of Twin Peaks.

I loved the DS game and cannot wait for this one! So happy this game is back.

@DragotheKomodo I used the Dream Suite a lot in New Leaf. it's a nice way to freely roam a friend's or non-friend's island and see their designs without them having to be online at the same time. As the creator, you can share your creativity with people without the worry of them destroying anything or stealing your fruit and flowers.

This comment thread is hilarious. People complaining about possible spoilers in an article whose title clearly indicates said possible spoilers will be discussed yet doesn't disclose what they will be in said title at all. Reader clicks article and is mad they read possible spoilers.

Some people like to know what could be coming. Others don't. Titles like these are beyond vague in describing what the spoiler but is clear that it is a rumor/spoiler is so it leaves it entirely up to the reader to proceed. Can't blame a website for your lack of self control.

@geni53yr7 Orrrrrrr, there is a global pandemic going on and a lot of people probably couldn't get out to buy a physical copy. Or they were all sold out. Or people prefer the ease of having the game on the console all the time without taking up the cartridge slot.

You may own the game physically forever, but you can just as easily lose a tiny cartridge over time. Or, you won't have access to the magnitude of updates this game has planned, either. Physical games aren't the same as they used to be like in the days you reference.

@Archius9 Smash Ultimate and Brawl. It says it right in the article.

I know the game benefited from the pandemic, but these sales are bonkers - and not even including digital sales.

Hopefully this inspires them to do regular updates like the huge one rolling out this week.

Really sad news. When I think of Leon Kennedy's voice, I always think of his from the original RE2.

Animal Crossing surpassing Smash Ultimate and Pokemon Sword/Shield in the region could happen before the end of the month.

@bwellington Well, it was posted yesterday on Reddit, so it could be but I don't think it is.

@Spoony_Tech Worldwide, yeah it won't catch up to MK8 Deluxe. But in Japan, it definitely will surpass it.

I'm not the biggest Funko fan, but I find that angry Pikachu to be hilarious.

So glad this reviewed well! Been looking forward to this as I am absoluely a huge Theme Hospital fan and was saddened by its delay into this year. But glad it looks great and can't wait to play next week!

It's too bad the "physical media" debate was injected into the title of this article - because it will probably make many people just jump to make a comment about physical vs. digital and skip over an otherwise very good interview.

It's a great read and talks about physical media from a marketing and business standpoint. It was interesting to hear from a company that specializes in them, their challenges and decision-making process during this time in technology/streaming/digital.

I'm super excited for this game. I loved Theme Hospital back in the day and this looks very similar to it!

HungryBox really rubbed me the wrong way when he was at the Smash tournament Nintendo hosted at an E3 some years ago ... 2015, maybe? He was trash talking Reggie (who admittedly really sucked) but I felt he just took it way too far and it really came off as overly aggressive, arrogant and tone deaf to the mood Nintendo was trying to set.

@DockEllisD Hahahaha!

@DockEllisD It got your click and comment, so I guess it works!

I loved the Sonic movie, but I hate box office comparisons like this. Pikachu was released during the height of Avengers: Endgame, which ended up being one of the biggest movies ever. Sonic has the advantage of coming out when there is basically no competition and on a four-day holiday weekend for kids in school, so even a simple three-day comparison will be skewed a little bit because of this.

I am all for Sonic being a successful movie, which I'm happy it is. But I don't feel people should discount Detective Pikachu's box office, either, because that movie did great given the circumstances as well.

i wish there was a law against hidden "taxes" and "fees" here in America. Most ticket places I buy from - such as ones for Comicons and concerts - almost always adds a force "convenience" fee on top of the cost of the ticket and its infuriating - sometimes as much as $4 for a $25 ticket.

I use this and I absolutely love it. The fact that it can change between sunny/rainy/snowy versions of the songs automatically (if desired as its an option you can toggle on and off) is particularly amazing.

It always makes me sad to see the Resident Evil remake on GameCube having sold so low. I mean, it sold well considering how the GameCube itself sold, but to an untrained eye, it looks like it sold really badly at barely breaking one million. It was, and still is in my opinion, fantastic.

Perfect timing for me, flying out of Chicago and into Seattle in early March. I love seeing promotional events like this even if I am already a user/owner.

New Leaf's Dream Suite feature, in which you could visit other peoples' towns, was a priceless feature as well. Found a ton of design ideas that way, and a number of great horror themed villages!

I really don't understand rude comments like the one above this one. It was new to me. If its old news to you, fine, but why be like that and not just ignore it?

@Orpheus79V It's a really odd thing to interject into a comment string that hasn't displayed the very thing that first comment was talking about. It's like they were trying to start an argument from previous threads in one that had been very civil just for the sake of arguing.

@nessisonett Who in this thread is displaying fanboy mentality? One comment asked how it could be on other platforms, but wasn't a rant and most comments explained how it could happen or that they didn't even like the game much in the first place.

Animal Crossing is one of the few games I will always get digitally if given the chance. Its a game I know I will play daily for months or even years - and it is handy for me to have on my console at all times.

I usually go physical for most, having New Leaf on my 3DS all the time was very handy for me.
