E.T is a much better game than it's reputation would tell you. Is it a masterpiece? No, but I had fun playing it as a kid and I bet I would still enjoy it.
I have definitely played worse games. Tons of mobile games are much worse, for example.
@DaGoldenBoo I like Splatoon 2 more, myself. The online works so much better, because if someone leaves the match, you get to keep playing. In 3, the match ends and you have to wait and find 7 other players again. Some days you end up waiting more than you do playing.
It is weird to me that Sagat is only being added now, considering how important he is in Street Fighter II. I haven't kept up with the series, so maybe there is a story reason why?
I was playing 50cc yesterday, and was getting bombarded with Blue Shells. It seemed a little ridiculous. Luckily it was 50cc so it didn't effect my placement much, but if that is the way the game always is, I am going to have a tough time with the faster classes.
@Andee Farming isn't that big of a part of the game. I wouldn't let that ruin the rest of the game for you. Your harvest is useful for the Cooking Life, and useful in Ginormosia as well.

Re: Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma Ships Over 500,000 Copies
Love this game, glad I gave it a chance. I had never played a Rune Factory game before.
Re: Review: Discounty (Switch) - Chilled Out Supermarket Sim Is A Decent Deal
@mohok Thanks!
Re: Review: Discounty (Switch) - Chilled Out Supermarket Sim Is A Decent Deal
Gonna wait for a discounty.
Re: Review: UFO 50 (Switch) - A Wondrous Smorgasbord Of Retro Delights
@Shiningfinger Thanks! I still have my OLED, but I would rather play on the bigger screen of the Switch 2. Hopefully there will be a upgrade path.
Re: Review: UFO 50 (Switch) - A Wondrous Smorgasbord Of Retro Delights
@Shiningfinger Have you played in docked mode? Just wondering if it looks any better on the TV?
Re: 'Ultimate Sheep Raccoon' Brings Multiplayer Mayhem To Switch This Winter
This made me think of Excitebike: World Rally.
Looks very cool.
Re: Mini Review: Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now Near-Perfect On The New Console
@Tyaku Best Buy and Amazon have it for $60 right now.
Re: Mini Review: Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now Near-Perfect On The New Console
Is the DLC any good?
Re: Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US
@LazyDaisy Nintendo was smart then by getting PlayStation and Xbox to raise their prices before them.
Re: Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase July 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
I am excited about the Hello Kitty Island Adventure DLC. I am just wondering how much it is going to cost.
Also hoping the game gets a Switch 2 upgrade at some point.
Re: Video: Game Builder Garage Still Rules On Switch 2
Are there any cool Zelda games on Game Builder Garage?
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Wheel - Flawed, But Still Fun
@thenikdavies I must have missed that, because I got the gold nunchuck from the Club Nintendo.
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con 2 Wheel - Flawed, But Still Fun
@thenikdavies How did you get a gold Wii Wheel?
I still think it is hilarious that Best Buy asked me if I wanted a protection plan for the Wii Wheel. For what, in case the plastic stops plasticing?
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Playtest Program Returning, Includes Switch 2 Support
@Shaw_Brothers It didn't work for me on my phone, but it worked when I entered the code on my Switch.
Re: Atari 50 Is Getting Yet Another DLC Pack, This Time Focused On Namco Titles
E.T is a much better game than it's reputation would tell you. Is it a masterpiece? No, but I had fun playing it as a kid and I bet I would still enjoy it.
I have definitely played worse games. Tons of mobile games are much worse, for example.
Re: Poll: Has Donkey Kong Bananza Made You Feel Ill?
Luckily, I have been fine.
Super Mario 64 still is very difficult for me to play. I always get sick after only a few minutes.
Re: Atari 50 Is Getting Yet Another DLC Pack, This Time Focused On Namco Titles
Very cool! Hopefully this means that E.T. will join the collection at some point.
Re: Feature: Three Laps, Two Players, One Vegas Jumpsuit - 10 Things We'd Love To See Added To Mario Kart World
I would like Wart to join the race.
Re: Switch 2 Welcome Tour Developer Gets Officially Revealed
I can't wait for Welcome Tour 2!
Re: PSA: You Can Play One Of The Greatest Platformers Of All Time In Street Fighter 6
Now I really want to get this so I can play Bionic Commando. Love that game, and haven't played it in probably 20 years.
Re: Gallery: Street Fighter's Luke amiibo Is A Big Fella, And No Mistake
I would buy a Zangief and Sagat amiibos for sure.
I am not familiar with the characters they chose, so $40 is way too much for me.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Pulled Amazon US' Switch 2 Sales After Beef Over "Unauthorised" Sellers
I also heard that Amazon was breaking the street date for some Nintendo products and that is why they aren't able to sell Nintendo stuff anymore.
All speculation, and annoying for me, but in-store pick-up for amiibo is much better than them getting damaged during shipping.
Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
Seems like a bad decision. I wonder what the reasoning is?
Re: Talking Point: Do You Have A New Go-To Racer In Mario Kart World?
Still Toad for me.
Re: Review: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster (Switch 2) - A Solid Refresh For A 3DS RPG Gem
@NicolausCamp I agree. I gave up when it seemed like I was doing stuff that I had already done.
Re: 'Rumble Has Been Turned Off Due To Prolonged Use'? Don't Worry, Your Switch 2 Joy-Con Probably Aren't Broken
I always turn rumble off to conserve battery.
Re: PSA: Yes, Switch's Mario Kart Racing Wheels Are Compatible With World
@Elitepatriot I never played online, but I was able to unlock everything in Mario Kart Wii only using the Wii Wheel accessory.
Re: PSA: Splatoon 3 On Switch Has Made Some Cuts To Keep Pace With Switch 2
@Jack_Goetz I didn't know that was just during the first minute. Still very annoying and happens to me far too often.
Re: PSA: Splatoon 3 On Switch Has Made Some Cuts To Keep Pace With Switch 2
@DaGoldenBoo I like Splatoon 2 more, myself. The online works so much better, because if someone leaves the match, you get to keep playing. In 3, the match ends and you have to wait and find 7 other players again. Some days you end up waiting more than you do playing.
Re: Splatoon 3 To Get Free Switch 2 Update Later This Week
They need to make it so if someone loses their Internet connection or just leaves the game, the match keeps going, like Splatoon 2.
Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Carry Case - The Official Option Is A Solid One
@TKundNobody I don't know, but the other one is $85, which seems crazy for just a case.
Re: Splatoon 3 To Get Free Switch 2 Update Later This Week
I am hoping the Zapper Prototype will be included in the update.
Re: Random: You Can Mix & Match Switch 1 + 2 Joy-Con As Pairs
@rjejr No, the article is saying you can use a Switch 1 Joy-Con and a Switch 2 Joy-Con together.
There is no rhyme or reason to do so, but it is possible to do, just for s@#$s and giggles if nothing else.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Season 3 Characters Officially Revealed By Pro Wrestler Kenny Omega
@Lizuka Makes sense.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Best Way To Play, But 'Zelda Notes' Sucks
@GravyThief You are welcome!
Re: Random: You Can Mix & Match Switch 1 + 2 Joy-Con As Pairs
@rjejr This article is saying you can use a left Joy-Con 1 with a right Joy-Con 2.
Re: Review: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - The Best Way To Play, But 'Zelda Notes' Sucks
@GravyThief Surprisingly it does. Says so on the back of the box. Pretty cool!
Re: Street Fighter 6's Season 3 DLC Characters Have Been Officially Revealed
It is weird to me that Sagat is only being added now, considering how important he is in Street Fighter II. I haven't kept up with the series, so maybe there is a story reason why?
Re: Mario Kart World Guide - All Courses, Cups, Missions, Collectibles, Tips & Tricks
I was playing 50cc yesterday, and was getting bombarded with Blue Shells. It seemed a little ridiculous. Luckily it was 50cc so it didn't effect my placement much, but if that is the way the game always is, I am going to have a tough time with the faster classes.
Re: Random: Using A GameCube Controller With The NSO App Yields Fun Surprises
@speed_loafer I just ordered one, so looks like they still have them.
Re: Review: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (Switch) - Level-5's Triumphant Sequel Trades Depth For Breadth
@Andee Farming isn't that big of a part of the game. I wouldn't let that ruin the rest of the game for you. Your harvest is useful for the Cooking Life, and useful in Ginormosia as well.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Switch Update Detailed
Update for Switch is now live.
Re: Fantasy Life i Gets Switch 2 Release Date With Paid Upgrade Path For Switch 1 Players
@ArcticEcho I still think calling it a single player MMO is strange, one could say that about any RPG.
We will just have to agree to disagree. 🙂
Re: Fantasy Life i Gets Switch 2 Release Date With Paid Upgrade Path For Switch 1 Players
@Varkster I think we are going to have to play the whole game again on Switch 2. 🙂
Re: Fantasy Life i Gets Switch 2 Release Date With Paid Upgrade Path For Switch 1 Players
@ArcticEcho Fantasy Life isn't a MMO, it is a jRPG.
Re: Whoops! Nintendo's Latest Tetris 99 English Patch Notes Contain A Misleading Mistranslation
Got 2 that I needed, and just a few tickets away from a third.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
@iNintendo Definitely!
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Switch Update Detailed
@LastFootnote That is weird. I play in handheld mode without any problems. They need to update their page so people aren't confused.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Switch Update Detailed
@sunspotty I believe the delay is from Nintendo's update/patch review policy, not from anything on Level 5's side.
Re: Fantasy Life's New Entry Has Already Hit Its First Major Sales Milestone
I am loving the game so far. The only reason I am not pla at the moment is because I used up the whole charge playing.
