Hard to say as I don't have the focus to actually listen to anything for more than half an hour or so, so anything that isn't obnoxiously grating* fades into background music really fast.
*I have managed to "listen" to Hong Kong 97 for an hour because apparently I can even tune that out. Don't question me, it was a bet.
I have to admit I have not played a single one of these games, not even the originals. So obviously I can't say anything about quality, but Wind Waker would be the one I have the most interest in (not buying another console just for Zelda games though)
It was always like that for me. If the stars aligned just right I could get one hit at the local train station sometimes, and this isn't the smallest town in existence. A huge international event where I passed approximately 60.000 people got me a whole three hits.
Though if demand means I have to buy them first on a platform I don't care about just so I can buy them again where I actually want them, not really. And either way this feels like those Atlus surveys pretending not to know what people want. Offer the product I want and I'll buy it, or don't and I won't, and get your kick out of of people begging elsewhere.
I think this is the first time I was disappointed, and I didn't even expect anything. Other than the AoC characters being the ones who were prominently featured in the DLC promo material so far, but I guess even that was too much to hope for?
@West3DP That's the image from the trailer, but NoE shared the new one with the red backgrounds on Twitter today and they also say "expanded roster" so that was likely just an error specific to the NoA one.
Still on the fence about the Void Terrarium DLC. It's kinda expensive for what you get, but I haven't been this invested in many games lately and I want to support it...
Yes, this should have been in the game. No, it's not as big a deal as people pretend. Yes, I will buy the amiibo because I like it, provided it's not exclusive to their crappy store again.
Imagine being this personally affected by how well a game sells, and one you don't even like at that.
I had fun with the game, I'd like a few more missions with actual battlefield management in the DLC, and I'm going to buy it either way because I want more content and I'm also a shameless Robbie fangirl.
@Fujimoto-San Yeah, they usually get added with the update that comes with DLC characters, but until then the incomplete collection will annoy me a lot.
And I missed the Monster Hunter spirits I wish those spirit events were announced in the Switch news, I don't play this game that often anymore and news sites are spotty at best.
Map drawing and the like is fine (I love Etrian Odyssey) but having to control my character with the stylus just annoys me if it's more than simply moving them around. I think that's the reason I decided against buying it when I got my DS.
Today I learned that despite being advertised here, Germany as well as Austria and Switzerland don't even get the rereleased cards at all. Store exclusives are horrible but at least you have a chance.
My SNES carts are in their plastic bags (and two storage boxes) because a) my parents didn't keep the original boxes and b) I'm not a fan of cardboard anyway. But ever since the DS games got proper boxes, I won't buy or keep games without them.
I don't know why anyone would leave loose carts flying around, but it does explain why so many people act like losing them is a real concern...
@Exciter89 For the most part, the Etrian Oyssey games are standalone games. There will be a few references and stuff, but nothing you need to enjoy the games or understand the story. Nexus is more of a "best of" game with returning dungeons and characters, and I personally enjoy how it plays with expectations when you've played the games its dungeons are based on, but again there's nothing that doesn't work without prior knowledge as far as I can tell.
Bravely Second is a direct sequel to Bravely Default.

Re: Super Rare's Deponia Physical Collection For Switch Goes On Sale Next Week
Ah, I was hoping for a regular physical game to cut down on storage space a little, but that's way too expensive even for the regular edition.
Re: A New Limited-Time Pokémon Sword And Shield Porygon-Z Distribution Event Has Begun
I was waiting for this but of course I missed it.
Re: Talking Point: Which Video Game Song Could You Listen To For Ten Hours?

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Player Investigates The Game's Scrapped Poison Water
Not the entire ocean. I already have weird issues with being in/near open water in 3D games. A few lakes here and there if you really have to at most.
Re: UK Newspaper Comes Under Fire For Hinting That Video Games Are "The Next Global Pandemic"
At least that pandemic won't put me at risk of wrecking my kidneys when I'm near irresponsible gamers.
Re: Level-5's Mech-Battle RPG Is Coming This November, Only In Japan
Why does every single one of their games need an anime series?
Re: Random: Square Enix Almost Made Its Final Fantasy X Protagonist A Plumber
I wonder what the Blitzball minigame would've been instead?
Re: Talking Point: Every Pre-BOTW 3D Zelda Now Has A Remake, But Which Is Best?
I have to admit I have not played a single one of these games, not even the originals. So obviously I can't say anything about quality, but Wind Waker would be the one I have the most interest in (not buying another console just for Zelda games though)

Re: Some Of The Original Terranigma Team Want To Revive The Classic SNES RPG
I'd definitely want the original (the full trilogy while we're at it) but i wouldn't say no to a remaster either.
Re: Square Enix Says A Console Version Of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Depends On Demand
Obviously.
Though if demand means I have to buy them first on a platform I don't care about just so I can buy them again where I actually want them, not really. And either way this feels like those Atlus surveys pretending not to know what people want. Offer the product I want and I'll buy it, or don't and I won't, and get your kick out of of people begging elsewhere.
Re: Previously Limited Mario And Monster Hunter Spirits Are Now Available Permanently In Smash Ultimate
@megallade They were already added a while ago!
Re: Songs For A Hero Is A Musical RPG Where The Soundtrack Narrates Your Actions
Not really my kind of game at all, but the lyrics for the underwater level are great.
Re: 'All Aksys' Showcase Event Will Feature At Least 7 Switch Games
Hopefully with some gameplay footage, I can't tell what half of these games are.
Re: Random: That Guy Playing The Switch OLED In His Hallway Is Driving Social Media Bonkers
If I had a wooden bench in my hallway, why wouldn't I use it?
Re: Nintendo Switch OLED Screen: Why Is OLED Better Than LCD?
If my experience with OLED TVs is any indication, my sensory processing just isn't made for it.
Re: Talking Point: What's That One Switch Game You Can't Bring Yourself To Delete?
When I buy something I don't throw it away anytime soon.
Re: Reminder: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass - Wave 1 Is Now Available
It's only out in Japan so far. We can download but not play it yet.
Still wondering why they picked a character based on a generic enemy type over characters people wanted playable pretty much since release.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed In Nintendo Direct E3 2021
I think this is the first time I was disappointed, and I didn't even expect anything. Other than the AoC characters being the ones who were prominently featured in the DLC promo material so far, but I guess even that was too much to hope for?
Re: Back Page: Things That Will Absolutely Definitely Happen During Nintendo's E3 2021 Direct
You forgot the inevitable port. May I suggest CD-i Zelda?
Re: Switch Users Report Problem With Error 2123-1502 Following System Update Issues
Same problem. Whatever they did to fix it is unfortunately also 12.0.3 so we're stuck with the faulty one for a while.
At least I've had no issues playing games. But do fix this mess before you drop E3 stuff, please and thank you.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For Nintendo's E3 2021 Direct
Untitled Seagull Sequel. With co-op because the ***** like to team up.
Re: Nintendo E3 2021 Direct To Air 15th June
I don't have expectations, I just want some things that interest me and the Age of Calamity DLC.
Re: New Ring Fit Adventure Trailer Reminds Us Of That Dusty Ring-Con Of Shame
Being able to start playing is my goal right now. Surgery complications.

That's the image from the trailer, but NoE shared the new one with the red backgrounds on Twitter today and they also say "expanded roster" so that was likely just an error specific to the NoA one.
Re: Nintendo Switch eShop Accounts Could Soon Display Personalised Game Suggestions
We've come a long way from my 3DS recommending me games I've already owned for two years at that point.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Receives Its Second Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I really don't like how that sounds like we only get one character.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th May (Europe)

Re: The Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword amiibo Will Cost More Than Regular Figures
Okay, changed my mind. Not paying more than 20€ for one and only if I REALLY want it.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Zelda & Loftwing amiibo For Skyward Sword HD
Yes, this should have been in the game. No, it's not as big a deal as people pretend. Yes, I will buy the amiibo because I like it, provided it's not exclusive to their crappy store again.
Re: Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 1 Gets Its Nintendo Switch Release Date
I'd buy this just for Phantom Brave.

Re: How Do You Feel About Mario After His 35th Anniversary? Nintendo Apparently Wants To Know
I never cared much for Mario, and I'm a little tired of him, but thankfully nowhere near Pikachu levels.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Has Now Shipped 3.7 Million Units
Imagine being this personally affected by how well a game sells, and one you don't even like at that.

Re: Random: Link's Breath Of The Wild House Is Set In A Surprisingly Divine Location
I haven't noticed it, but I do spend a suspicious amount of time sitting on people's rooftops...
Still I'd rather live in Tarrey Town.
Re: The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Brings Long-Awaited Games To Switch This July
And Europe gets shafted again. Not surprising, but disappointing for sure.
Re: Super Rare Games Announces Five New Physical Releases For Nintendo Switch
The Deponia collection comes a little too late, but depending on the price I might get it just to free up some space.
Re: New Kemco Sale Discounts Switch, 3DS And Wii U Games For A Limited Time
@Fujimoto-San
Yeah I did. I always set a reminder when I know about spirit events in advance.
Re: New Kemco Sale Discounts Switch, 3DS And Wii U Games For A Limited Time
They have sales literally every week.
Re: Would You Rather: Eat A Pikachu, Or An Eevee?
Pikachu's being forced down our throats all the time already.
Re: Legend Of Mana's Physical Switch Release Will Include English Language Support
Way too expensive to import with shipping and custom fees. :/

Re: The Price Of Animal Crossing's Sanrio amiibo Cards Are Already Skyrocketing On eBay
Today I learned that despite being advertised here, Germany as well as Austria and Switzerland don't even get the rereleased cards at all. Store exclusives are horrible but at least you have a chance.
Re: Talking Point: Are You A 'Complete-In-Box' Or 'Loose Cart' Retro Gamer?
My SNES carts are in their plastic bags (and two storage boxes) because a) my parents didn't keep the original boxes and b) I'm not a fan of cardboard anyway. But ever since the DS games got proper boxes, I won't buy or keep games without them.
I don't know why anyone would leave loose carts flying around, but it does explain why so many people act like losing them is a real concern...

Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Normalise Giving Up On Games Early
Maybe I'm getting too old for this world. The idea that people agonize that much about how they voluntarily spend their free time is so bizarre.
Re: Here's A Better Look At Monster Hunter Stories 2's amiibo Figures, US Store Exclusivity Revealed
If they get released in Europe and IF I can easily order them from a normal store with normal payment options, maybe I'll get the ones I like.
