Re: Everything Included In The Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition & Free 3.0 Update

Lycanroc

I'm really excited for this update! The Resort Hotel (yay - return of the turtles!) and Slumber Island(s)! So much new stuff to do. I'm happy about more storage space too, even if it's not critical for me - yet! lol
I look forward to Retro games making a return. I wish we also saw a return of Hide and seek, as well as some of the ACNL campsite games, like "Pick a card any card" and the 5 item minigame.
The new items from the collabs look great and I'm very happy about new villagers, but I wish it wasn't necessary to get amiibos in order to get them. Unlocking them via quests in the game would have been much better. I really wish Wolflink was included, and Inkwell.
I'm also uncertain which amiibos actually count as being compatible? Will my Wolflink amiibo work?

Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?

Lycanroc

Nope, I'm as Pokéngaged as I've ever been. I love every main series game and generation, as well as the Mystery Dungeons, Pokemon Conquest, and TCG for GBC. I've liked the different gimmicks in different gens too, but I really fell for the Tera Raids and Tera types in Scarlet and Violet the most. I can't get enough of it. The only problem is not enough Poke Boxes. I'm starting to have to let go of monsters due to lack of space... I also like that they have become more accessible in terms of getting PP Up, mints, mirror herb, changing nickname, and relearning deleted moves. And with SV's open world there is so much to explore and find. I hope the main series battle and catching mechanics stay exactly as they are in future games. I don't care for either in the Arceus game.

Re: Opinion: We Need To Talk About X Games

Lycanroc

I hadn't really noticed that x in game names was a trend. It's a bit silly if the x isn't even supposed to be said, but doesn't bother me. I just pronounce it eks unless the X is a 10.
I have to admit that good use of more exciting (less used) letters like x, q and z does make titles and names look more interesting and fun, more noticeable, like the dice game Qwixx.

Re: Feature: "It's Nothing Like A Port" - Story Of Seasons Head Talks Remaking A Lesser-Known Favourite

Lycanroc

I played Grand Bazaar on the DS, and enjoyed it a lot. As Harvest Moon/Story of seasons games go, it holds 3rd place for me, only beaten by Mineral Town and The Tale of Two Towns. I'm excited to see what's new, and will definitely get this one. Now I'm hoping for a Tale of Two Towns remake as well. (Off topic but, I miss calling them Harvest Moon lol, I preferred that name).
And also Rune Factory 1 and 2 remakes. We've gotten 3 and 4, but 1 and 2 remain my favorites, so I hope to see them shine again.

Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch Direct Game In New Infographic

Lycanroc

The games I look the most forward to are Fantasy Life (I've played the original Fantasy Life so many times), Dragon Quest (one of my absolute favorite RPG series), and Grand Bazaar (which I have fond memories of playing on the DS). These 3 are must-buys for me.
Will probably pick up Tomodachi Life too.

I'm also curious if Shadow Labyrinth and Raidou are worth a shot, and if the new Pokemon Legends game is any good (didn't care for the first entry in the series). Will keep up on news about these.

Re: Poll: Which Pokémon Game Really Deserves A Remake Next?

Lycanroc

I wish they made a remake of Pokemon Conquest. It was a fun spin-off game. I would also like a remake of the good old Pokemon Trading Card game that was released on Gameboy Color back in the day, but with more cards available.

I really wish we could get a new remake of Blue/Red/Yellow. We haven't had one since they finally got rid of HMs, and I would love to revisit Kanto without needing to waste at least one slot for a HM slave. They could still leave the bushes et c and just give you something that removes them all when you've progressed to that point. Same goes for the other old games. I've played and loved every generation since my first delve in Blue, and wanna reexperience them all in updated versions. When the turn comes to Sun and Moon, I really hope they'll go for the Ultra versions. The worm whole rides were fun.

Re: Opinion: Forget Themes, I Want A Switch 2 Start-Up Jingle

Lycanroc

Best start up jingle: Toss-up between NES, SNES, GB and GBA. Picked GB, because I think, of them all, it has the most nostalgic sound to me.
The little individual jingle every single game have on the 3DS menu is something I'd like to see on Switch 2. Would also like themes back, and a nice eshop tune like on the 3DS.
