@Snatcher If you don't mind me asking, what game have you picked up recently?🤔 @Joeynator3000 So, are you saying that you're sick of this particular open world style, or open world games in general? 🤔
@BenAV, @StevenH
The microtransactions aren't too aggressive, it's like Fortnite microtransactions.
The Microtransactions are...
Getting More Jala (500 Jala = $1, it's a 1-Time Purchase though) (1000 Jala = $9.99, etc.)
Story Mode ($9.99, on sale for $4.49 currently)
Ninjala Pass (950 Jala = $ 9.50) You can earn Jala in-game, though.
@Crockin @RupeeClock @crashcontrol @Friendly, and anyone else who has commented, or will comment about this being ACNH's cloud save situation.
That's what I've been thinking for the maintenance as well, since it's been on the Network Status page.
@JayJ That makes sense, as the Dreamcast most likely had more storage space, since it used a disc and not a cartridge. I believe that's why the N64 version doesn't have the intro cutscene because the N64 cart couldn't hold it.
@Liam_Doolan
Do you know when you guys will have the Ninjala review up?
@LatsaSpege
Once you make a room, you have to press on Room Settings to change the stage.
@PizzaCat
Mario Maker 2 does the same thing, except there's no penalty warning.
@TicTacTecmoBowl @VegasToad
Basically IPPON is like hitting someone in Smash Ultimate when they have 1 stock left with high damage, while it's a 1 on 1 battle.
That's my guess, though.
I've had no issues, so far.
@RPGamer
Yeah, the first beta did. I heard the second beta was smoother, though.
I believe most (if not all) online games have problems at launch, no matter how well the servers are done.
@SortingHat Which weird save system for New Horizons are you talking about? 🤔 The Cloud Save situation, the Transfer Save Data situtation, or the one island per Switch situation? 🤔
@RPGamer
Thanks. I've always been more of an optimistic person.
Yeah, I get that. Sometimes, companies just struggle for a bit when a major change happens (like a buyout, a restructure, or a split). A good example of that is Sega.
I believe Natsume can make a comeback. As long as they don't start acting like EA, they should be able to bounce back.
@RPGamer I'm just trying to give (at least) some hope to others. I've never been a huge fan of Harvest Moon (even before "The Split"), but I still want Harvest Moon to do well, though.
So, did they implement this new server system for the second beta, or after the second beta happened? 🤔
I'm asking because the online was definitely smoother for the second beta.
@AlexSora89 @graysoncharles I believe The Pokemon Company said that you don't need to buy the DLC to order to get the added Pokemon, and will be able to trade for them without buying it. 🤔
@AlexSora89 Yeah, I thought that Terry should have been the last fighter for Fighter Pass 1. I actually became more interested in Terry after Byleth was revealed. @Blooper987 I haven't heard almost anyone say that before, and while I think that's bold to say, you might be bombarded by other comments later.
@TAndvig Why is agreeing with you a bad thing? You didn't come off harsh or trolling at all, at least to me. There's a difference between listening to someone's opinion, and not changing your opinion because of someone's review, opinion, or comment. While I'm not a FPS Geek, I think it should be at least a stable 30 FPS.
@SwitchVogel I wasn't trying to be critical, so I'm sorry if I came off that way. I was just trying to figure out the review, as other people seemed to giving it 7's or 8's in the comments. Usually, you guys are less critical than other review sites as well. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, and now I feel bad that I did. I actually don't own it yet, but I plan on getting it around my Birthday or Christmas.
@Rafke
Also, I've noticed that Mitch tends to be a bit harsher with his reviews.
@Damo
Is Mitch Vogel the biggest Minecraft fan @NintendoLife? I'm just curious as to why he wrote the review for Minecraft Dungeons.
This is a question for both of you guys.
Have you guys played Minecraft Dungeons yet?
@sixrings Okay. 👍 Just curious. 😆 Yikes, hopefully Monolith Soft fixes the Resolution and FPS in a future patch. (or a Day One patch) 🤔😬 So, is it stable at 30 FPS, at least? 🤔
@ThanosReXXX I don't think so, usually the monthly news is on the 20th of each month. My theory about the Sonic sale is that, the Sonic Movie releases tomorrow on Blu-ray on DVD.
@Maulbert @rjejr IIRC, I believe "early buyers" can get the DLC for $5 and the base game is $20, and Sonic Mania Plus is $30. So technically, early buyers do get a discount.
@BabyYoshi65
Okay. Just curious.
Good point. 😆
I haven't played it yet, but I've heard that it has more of a Super Mario Run system (one time purchase), with some microtransactions but not aggressively though. (If that makes sense).
It also depends if you've played the other Mario & Sonic Olympic Games and liked them, or like the Olympics in general.
@BabyYoshi65
If it's ready, why would they delay it?
I know the Tokyo 2020 Olympics got pushed back, but they'll probably just do another bug push when they come around in 2021.
Also, have you played the mobile Sonic Tokyo 2020 game, yet?

Mainly Ninjala for me. I might also do some Episode 1: Racer, and some New Horizons.

I know, but thanks for the info anyways.

Maybe the graphics will look better in later trailers, since this trailer said "Game Footage Not Final" in the bottom left corner.

While that's true, I agree with @TAndvig that it dropping to 15 FPS is unacceptable, no matter what game it is.
