@CaleBoi25 Yeah in a way. I feel like they're still trying to give thie one streetpass vibes.

I have actually been kind of frustrated because there is NO listing for it at all on the US eshop. (It's up now in other regions). You had no way to wishlist it. I had been checking since I heard the announcement. As of this moment, there is still no indication on it's existence on eshop. If I didn't research and already know it's supposed to be out, I'd probably miss it.

Aaaa there is no time and I have no money!

Some things actually seem really hard to come by physical copies but are in the eShop. I'm looking really hard at Yo-kai Watch 2 Psychic Spectres and 3 because I couldn't even find physical copies of them when they came out, plus 4 isn't happening. But they're retail price ;_;

The 3DS has SO MANY great games! Though I admit it's gathered dust, and I barely have time for the great games on Switch.
I had to dig around to find my plug for my 3DS. I hope it turns on or I'll be really sad. I have a lot of games for it I'd never get rid of. I even have a Kirby hard shell for it. Granted I still have a GBA SP for the handful of GB games I kept but don't play.

I'm sad it just feels like the game could have used another year in development to shine. There are plenty of Switch games that are beautiful and run fine on the hardware. It's not a bad game, but it could have been a GREAT game if they'd just spent some more time on optimization and landscape and depth. I'm not far enough in to comment on story. I like all the Pokemon and Character designs, and Pokemon as a franchise proves the basic gameplay is solid.
I enjoyed the changes of Arceus, and I know some folks wish they'd brought more of those mechanics over, but I think part of the point of Arceus is it's a different time when we were first discovering partnership with Pokemon rather than fearing them, and thus things work differently than modern times of Pokemon. I like that it's rather unique.

I was expecting more, but I'll still have fun. This is the future of Pokemon, but they kinda tripped coming out of the gate. I was kind of expecting to be done with Pokemon after feeling pretty meh about Sword/Shield and it seeming like they were sticking to rehashing the same formula, but Arceus brought me back in.

@Chlocean I thought about it, but if it's not a good finished version, why get it?

I was so excited for the gameplay style, art and ghost theme, but I'd been seeing reviews that the story was pretty meh and the gameplay got old fairly quick so I waited. I'm sorry for what's going on with them and I hope they can fix the game without ruining its reputation.

Wow love the art style! Hope it's a fun game Going on my wishlist to keep an eye on.

This is very much a casual cozy game. The few enemies that are aggressive aren't a huge threat, and dying isn't a big deal. You can figure things out and identify items to interact with by inspecting them, so it's fairly easy to figure out what you should be doing. You pick up and kill everything. You have to enjoy exploring and gathering items. At least inventory isn't an issue.
I found the visuals and setting, and overall feel of the story to be the compelling part of the game. I continue because I'm curious where it's going. While there are many different crafting ingredients and a variety of ways to gather them, it really just feels like you gather to create the correct icon and progress to the next part of the story. The crafting in itself isn't very deep.
Still enjoying it, but there was a bit less to it than I expected. If you want to make the game harder, you can not use your power to see how to do things, and just figure it out by trial and error (a lot of the solutions are pretty logical).

I'm excited for this! I love great games with spooky themes!

@Greatluigi Yaaay thank you! I'm always happy to wait as long as a project is still going forward!

Like the art style! Really curious, but waiting for more info and reviews.

This is the one I'm waiting for! I loved Rhapsody and played it tons back in the day. I got La Pucelle Tactics, but didn't play it as much as I intended and it got buried by newer games. I'm pretty sure I still own it in my stack of "will never get rid of even if I can't play them" games.

Is the online co-op like local co-op?
Basically I'm really interested in this game, but I love playing brawlers with a friend, who would be playing online. It sounded like the online co-op was limited- it only contributed to the main save file, and the second player had to be the same character type?

I was really excited for this, but now I'm concerned.
I like all the character and digimon designs, and I like tactical games so I'm good with the playstyle. It also seems darker which is cool.

But it pretty much sounds like they scrapped most of the original game and started over with a new team :/ So all that time before was mostly for nothing. Why did this happen? Was it originally not a good game?
I'm worried now they'll rush it just to get something released and it won't be good. There's no way it can live up to expectations with the time that has passed. Everything about it seems so vague, like they're not even sure what the game is. It seems likely the Digimon you use may be pretty limited.

I think we'll be lucky to see it in 2023, or it may just finally quietly disappear.
Whelp, Cyber Sleuth is on a good sale so picking that one up finally.

This game does need a guide. I thought I could just get through if I worked at growing crops and making stuff, but the returns aren't great so I looked for guides to focus so I'm not wasting time. Why can't games have logical price structures for growing, crafting, and selling? It's taken long enough just to get the basic equipment upgrade, I've spent hours and unlocked very little.

I just picked it up on sale and have no regrets. It's a slow build of explore and fight to gather, with a bit of farming. I'm currently having a hard balance of if I want to dump my money into seeds for future rewards or into upgrades for my character now.
It is like Fantasy Life in that the main part of the game seems to be on the main maps, and there is a lot of crafting to progress. It's been quite a while since I played FL so I don't recall the specifics of the game, but it was deeper that KL, which is more casual. I'd still absolutely love to have a true FL sequel on Switch.
It's a slow start just so folks know, your hand will be held through the first couple quests which are about going out to fight before you unlock farming. Right now the farming seems to be a little bit of an afterthought, but maybe as I progress the stuff I grow will be more useful for making food.
I would honestly advise checking a guide for the more efficient things to do for making money, because otherwise the returns on selling stuff can be really small, and you don't want to sell things needed for quests or upgrades.

So far my only dislike is I have more things I want to equip to express keys than I have buttons for. Switching items for farming tasks is a little tedious.
The storage is also a little odd, there is a field chest on your farm, and a chest in each town, but they aren't linked together so you have to remember where you put things. I'm looking forward to being able to get more storage space.

Did anything ever happen with this?? I loved this game, it was fun and different, I'd love to see a new version. It wasn't perfect, but it was a hidden gem.

I've been playing slow so I'm only at like 3* quests even though I've played a lot. Guess I'm going to have to put some more time in!

I really think this game is an underappreciated gem. It is a slow build patience casual game, you have to be ok with playing just a bit each day, but it really grows as you progress. Yes, it's still light, but I enjoy that- I'm not missing anything if I miss a day.
Plus the developers have already made several updates and continue to make the game better.
I totally dig the charm and am over 70 days in, and haven't found all the bears yet.

I already preordered, but excited for the demo! After watching the Nintendo Treehouse play it looked great!

I always meant to play a Fatal Frame game, the old ones were hard to come by so I never did. I like the concept of taking photographs.

I'm ok with there not being a glut of big new games coming. Their library is already fantastic and I picked up some great titles on sale that will keep me busy! Plus I honestly always have a backlog of games haha.
I also pre-ordered Monster Hunter Stories, really looking forward to that the more I hear about it!

Wow I'd never heard of this. While there are a lot of JRPGs out there, this just looks really nice. I love the variety of character designs. Definitely going to keep an eye out for this. I like the art style, but will look at more gameplay when it's available.

I personally liked Dragon Crown's art style and a friend and I put a lot of hours into it.

I'm seeing stuff on this sale that I've never seen discounted previously, even if it isn't a huge discount for some of them. I'm finally going to bite on Pikmin 3 Deluxe, I've never actually owned a Pikmin game before but they seem so cute.

I've been eyeing Part Time UFO for a bit so will probably grab that one too. It's hard when a bunch goes on sale! I want a few more but don't want to spend too much, so some hard decisions will have to be made.
Also I'm running out of room on my SD card!
There is so much stuff on sale my Switch gave up loading the eShop list after a while lol.

There are several titles I've already bought on sale that are always worth it.

It's good to see so many good Steam games coming over to Switch. I recently bought it on Steam but hadn't gotten around to play it yet- is there any reason to get it on Switch too?

I was looking forward to this because I don't have or want Apple Arcade. I like fresh puzzle RPG games, enjoying it so far.

I'm good with this, so long as they don't hurt you for going back. I was busy a lot of October so want to go back and play leading up to Halloween. I've never wanted to do events early, just be able to do what I missed.

The older apps were really good I thought, nice tools and easy to use. Pretty much all you could ask for in a drawing app.

So glad this is finally coming over on portable, that seems like a perfect way to play! We've played some of the older iterations and enjoyed them. A very fun strategic game.
It's a shame it looks like the launch got pushed back until Oct

I got it on Adroid a while back and really liked it. It unfortunately eventually broke for some reason. I'll be glad to play it without microtransations!

I'd also say this game has a bit of that Airport Mania feel in a way since you're managing both screens at once, and have to keep an eye on customer potion demands, and what you have stock of.

Its a little more expensive on the $9.99 side, but I felt its just shy of being a cartridge game. There are a number of worlds which have a bunch of levels in each. The gameplay style is unique (at least from what I've played), and I thought it was really good. Surprised to see this only get a 6. Its still a little simple, but the game obviously has more polish and thought than a basic cheapie match game. I would have rated it higher, and recommend it. I'm currently on the second world and enjoying it. You generally don't have to worry about failing a level, but getting all the stars can be a challenge.

I'm really looking forward to this! I like Pokemon type games but feel like I've played them too much, this seems exciting and fresh while still hitting all the places that I like about other games.

It is a heart burner getting through the stages over and over, but at least I caught him eventually and its a useful Pokemon. I usually can't place high enough to get the special stones during competitions so that's frustrating I don't know how people have Pokemon at max level, they level up soooo slowly. I've played through most of the game.

I'll go digital when I have to or for cheap games, but with physical usually you can get something back when you're done. While I have some games I'd never get rid of, honestly how many people keep the majority of games they buy? Digital or physical, they're usually transitory. The thing is physically, the choice is always in your hands. You also don't have to worry about if you have account issues, save/game corruption (as much), etc. to have access to your game. Though you're also more likely to delete digital games as you're done to make room for more.

I always thought Monster Tale was an overlooked gem, I put a lot of time into the game and really liked it. It was fun and different. I was never willing to trade it in so I still have it. Really looking forward to this! Its been a long time since I played so it will be a perfect revisit

Its actually pretty mean. I caught a couple of them (they're pretty difficult and the catch rates are low) and you keep wasting hearts to find ones you already have, but not ones you need.
in the main game I'm kinda stuck on Milotic because I don't want to use a power-up but I can't do enough damage. I got stuck a while in the usual places too, Mega Gengar is a beast. I got lucky and used Haunter to combo with the ones he'd leave, since they're still super effective.

I'm also disappointed at the lack of many password perks in the game.

Its really cool they're adding so much music, though I really only bought the Bravely Default stuff and a couple others.

I would buy this game at a reasonable retail price, like Battle Trozei. I refuse to put money on one-shot items that have no actual guarantee of success. I'm not going to pay $1 and still fail to catch a Pokemon with a stupidly low capture rate. Its not a bad game, but I'm already seeing stuff set stupidly hard just to make you want to spend money. Leveling up your Pokemon seems slow, and with the heart regeneration grinding isn't something you can do much of.

I already pre-ordered here, though it seems pretty doubtful we'll see any bonuses in NA. Its it too much to hope for the 3DS theme code? Its probably what I'd want most.

I like a basic score and summary at the bottom. If it did crap, I know I will probably pass without needing to know more. It means I don't have to read the whole thing if I'm in a hurry- I'll check the bottom, and then skim the review for details if I want to know more. If I do have time or really want to know everything, I'll read the whole review.

Is the Mario one going to reach the US before the regular one? I mean it looks cute so I'm ok with it, but that just seems like it'd be weird. I've been waiting a long time for the regular one to come out and had kinda given up on it.

Looooove Puzzle Challenge, so excited to get it again!
Please please let them do a new version of that game someday. They did a new version of Trozei for petes sakes.

YAAAAY! I just realized this was coming because Serebii lists it as a way to get a demo code for Ruby/Sapphire. So buying, one of my all time favorite games.

I'm interested, but as someone else said, it looks more like line defense.

I've been excited for this game for a while, particularly for the roles, so thanks for this feature series!
Can you change your character appearance once made, or is it set in stone?
I look forward to more!

I'm glad they're making another, but they can take their time- I need to finish the first! But for sure one of my favorite games in a long time, I'm just really slow and meticulous about my RPGs.

Got it today, love it so far. I'd say it renders the first one obsolete. More songs, better modes. It seems to be beginner friendly, and it takes a while to get all the modes unlocked- the game explains everything really well, and makes you get familiar with each mode before giving you more, but doesn't make you linger too long with each one. Questing and Versus came later on.
I'm so used to stylus from the first one I stuck with it, but a friend was really digging button control. Its really adaptable for whatever you want to try, and you can easily switch styles.
The game does get super hard, but there seems to be plenty of content in the easy-medium range. There is SO MUCH to do. They seem more generous so far with giving you crystals for character unlocks. And you get to CHOOSE which character from the color group each time!
You share your quest maps just like the old dark notes, but this system is far better and more replayable.
I'm still figuring out how much my team setup matters and what I should do. My initial characters were just a group I liked. I don't even know who they all are. I'm trying to go magic since I liked that in the first game.

The only thing I could ask for is co-op play. My only annoyance was a few characters are DLC. There is already DLC up I think.

That seems a bit pricey even if they did add more content... they were pretty shallow games to begin with.
I must suck, because I didn't get the DeDe Drum game at all. Like I couldn't even get through part of the first one. I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing.
I played the Fighters one a bit, but I got bored with it. There's a lot of good selections, but its again pretty simple. I guess that would be more fun if you had friends to play with. It is pretty much Kirby-themed Smash Bros super light.

Such angry Kirby!
