It says very clearly that system transfer won't be supported. I know we all want to hope for the best, but as long as the cover isn't fake, it's pretty much set in stone.

Please give me Alice. PLEASE. (And Eugene too while we're at it.)

If you both have a Switch and a copy of the game each, you can visit each other's islands locally. Or you can play on one Switch on the same save file with two user accounts.

@Rebusmind @HeroponRiki
You play on your normal save file, you can just choose to open it to other players (people on your friend list only if it works like New Leaf). You can manually save just like offline, and I think it autosaves whenever someone arrives/leaves.

I won't be excited until they confirm it can be downloaded it the normal way without codes or any other Gamestop nonsense.

Why do these people get articles for saying basically nothing?

The "markets" those articles keep talking about rarely seem to include actual people who buy the product, and if that doesn't indicate a complete disconnect of financial stuff from reality I don't know what does.

I sold my pink Gameboy Pocket ages ago and I still regret it. I could have sold my copy of Suikoden for around 100 € last time I checked out of curiosity (and didn't even consider it), and I'm still buying used 3DS games for my collection. And yes, it's entirely for my own enjoyment. Because hobbies.

@duffmmann
The update isn't out here either, and the announcement did say tomorrow. Not sure where Nintendolife got that from.

Physical versions of most Atelier games drop to around 20 € pretty fast, this one costs at least full price IF you're lucky. That's one game I'm going to regret not getting earlier.

I'm in the minority here, but I'd love to have it back. Posting to regular social media sites isn't even remotely the same.

I'm more excited for the new spirits than the character to be honest.

I'm not against inspired games, but this looks a little too much like a copy and being an MMO is a hard pass for me anyway.

I might give this another chance, but then again I hated the crafting system so, SO much...

If guessing Byleth correctly is a reliable leak, I'm a pro leaker because I predicted Ice Climbers in the next game after 3DS/Wii U.

@fafonio
Same but I'm missing the Tetris spirits. They should be added with the Byleth update if it works like past event spirits.

I would like to say this is a little over the top, but apparently some people do think there will be no games if they aren't announced within two hours of the new year, so...

I'm only playing Switch and I have never made a single sacrifice. Performance isn't the more important aspect by default.

Games seem to vanish all the time, usually it's temporary.

COuld've done worse, but Sothis would've been more interesting.

It looked a lot more like BotW in the other article.

Something to look forward to on an otherwise very unfun day.

Explorers of Sky is ridiculously expensive, so maybe there's a chance that will get a remake too? Either way I loved the original PMD games and now that I'm much better at them I'll likely get this.

Mighty expensive. Yeah, I did pay 25 for the expansion pass for Dragon Quest Builders 2... because that game didn't feel incomplete at all. That's the difference.

"I want it" and "other companies do it" do not mean Nintendo (or anyone) has any responsibility at all to do something. My parents taught me that "other people have/do it" means nothing, and then I grew up. We can only hope they'll get there too eventually.

@NEStalgia More like meanwhile outside the UK

There was an official French release of one of the Sailor Moon games and for some reason a copy made it to a random game rental store in Northern Germany. They also let you buy the games and my younger self immediately knew that was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

No, it's football. Not handegg.

Add manual sorting options and adjustable icon size and it's exactly what I want. No unnecessary clutter, just game management with the option to make it pretty.

The only problem is that many people care way too much about what others do. You want to beat the game without save states? Don't use them then. Random internet person plays with save states? They have other priorities than "achievement" and it doesn't affect you in any way.
(general you of course)

I have a lot of issues with the games, but the dex was never one of them. After playing I actually appreciate being able to complete the dex without having to fall back on a finished collection from older games if I don't want to deal with trading mons from 10 different games, do cumbersome mini games for additional evolution items, or beg people online for dozens of legendary codes because my Gamestop doesn't do events. (Which will likely change for future game since Gamefreak just can't stop doing the event-only crap, see Star/Ribbon Sweets.)

I never liked the name thing and I hate that they had to force it into the games too.

Serebii lists different dex entries for these and pink Shellos/Gastrodon, so... yes?

A very mature way to handle allegedly immature fan reactions.

What's the benefit for the customer? Giving companies even more power over when and where and how they can play games they paid for? Lowest common denominator gaming because everything has to run on every device? Even if we manage to make the technology available everywhere some day, that's hardly what I would call quality entertainment.

Not excited yet, but I still have to pkay Second. If that one doesn't kill my motivation and stomps it to pieces until I can't be bothered to fight fairly anymore like the first game did, I might give II a chance IF it doesn't make the same mistakes.

Why do they always put the promising stuff in little side stories? Make a whole series like Generations please. (But I will admit it's easy to buy my partial forgiveness with an episode about the Spikemuth siblings.)

Pick up a decent case for half that price and you can also take the charger and a bunch of games with you.

I suppose I need to start playing again. Got all the normal ingame themes I wanted (not very many of them to be honest), but I always regretted missing the first event theme.

Does the NA version have the same issues? That one is still available on the eShop, but the EU version isn't. Makes me wonder if there's some major problem with that version in particular.

Gameplay footage in a trailer? What is this madness?

I bought the ones I liked, and some cheap ones my mother found who knows where. Outside of saving Splatoon gear and occasionally getting items in Hyrule Warriors I'm not using them much after the initial unlocks though.

Not interested in MMOs at all. Those inevitably end up making me feel pressured to play at certain times/a certain amount per day to keep up with limited things, and nothing kills my motivation for a game faster than that.

@gokev13
The whole trilogy would be great. Terranigma is the only one I own, and I've played a little of Illusion on a friend's copy. No idea if Soul Blazer was even released in Europe. America didn't get Terranigma as far as I know, would be cool if everyone got easy official access to it. It's one of my most replayed games even if it suffered from the same moysification as other German SNES games.

Never thought I'd see the day we get one plstinum points theme that isn't a repeat.

At this point I believe people want all this stuff on the Switch because for some reason every device in existence is "supposed" to have and play everything, not because it makes any sense.

Kirby Super Star was all I needed to be happy. (Okay, Terranigma too, but that's a pipe dream.) And I'm honestly much happier with this than the forced filler games and "special edition" screen clog the NES got.

If there's a way to do anything successfully with a Magikarp, someone will find it.

Doesn't seem much like Animal Crossing to me. Interesting though, I'll keep an eye on it.

Mmmm Gossifleur. But shipping is too high for just one plushie. I hope they make more I like.
