That recommended sitting position has always been extremely uncomfortable for me. That's the advantage of handheld gaming for me, I can change posture whenever I need to.
Credit cards only and having to choose between a very pricey and an apparently very crappy delivery service, and likely custom fees on top of that... as much as I love Actraiser, I'm afraid I'll have to skip this one.
I like having a place to look up NSO content (free trials and small stuff aren't all that obvious on the eShop) but it's too bright and draws attention away from the game icons.
I mean, if you don't have the time you can play them later. I'm not sure why that's so much worse than playing earlier.
I did appreciate having guides that tell me how many things I can find at what time, especially for the wedding event with its arbitrary order limit the game never tells you about until you actually hit it. I would have missed out on so many items because I tend to save up first to know what I can actually afford.
Going by this review and my experience with Ganon mode in the previous game, I'm going to hate the Divine Beast missions. Hopefully there aren't enough to turn me off the game entirely.
Having to adjust the camera every time I use thebow and no inducation how many Koroks a level has or if I found them all bothers me much more. The motion control bow in general is hortible if I'm not sitting up while playing, which I am not at least half of the time.

We're not on Twitter here. I typically don't take the entire internet into account when I comment on comments on a specific site.
100% agree that Twitter is a hellhole that has twisted justified upset over things beyond all reason though. You can't even look at Animal Crossing pictures without coming across some douchebag who tries to guilt you into joining the screamer ranks. (Maintaining the point that screames on the other side who feel attacked by disapprovement of inappropriate behavior are just as ridiculous.)
It's always interesting how the only ones who make a big deal out of things like this are the ones endlessly going on about "drama" and "everyone's too sensitive lol", while the supposedly oversensitive people mostly just say it's inappropriate and move on.
Plenty of people who bought the Switch for this particular reason do understand the point. He's one person who doesn't. So why does anyone think he's qualified to judge whether it's a good idea?
Okay, I skipped the Mario collection mostly because I'm not super interested in 3D platformers, but this I am very tempted to ignore ONLY because of the limited release BS. Feel free to limit physical copies if you must, but there's no reason to do the same with downloads other than putting pressure on people.
Until you have to subscribe to sixteen different services to be able to play everything you want because everyone and their mother has exclusive games.
Actually, a one time purchase to keep the game forever without additional costs is still the best options for me as a gamer, but then again, maybe that's because I don't "consume" games.
I like to have as much of a game as possible on physical carts, so it would make sense to buy this if I ever want Sword for my collection, but dear Arceus are these covers ugly.
Oh cool, more things I can't order because I cannot use the Paypal account linked to my Nintendo account to pay for them and none of the very few credit cards I have access to work on the site.

Re: Koei Tecmo Brings Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires To Switch Early Next Year
@Rexenoboy
From what I've gathered Empires has its own gameplay structure, I'd see that more as a spinoff game than another version.
Re: Koei Tecmo Brings Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires To Switch Early Next Year
Do the Empires games tend to get Ultimate/Deluxe/whatever versions? That's the one thing that really puts me off buying KT games.
