@Anti-Matter I know you can do it in previous entries, I was saying I thought they had decided not to implement this in New Horizons to prevent time travelling.
@Anti-Matter I don't know whether you can change the date and time in this game, can you? I thought it used the Switch's current date and time so you couldn't "time travel"?
After watching the Sonic Movie (it's really good, by the way!) I went back and finished off the main story of Sonic Forces (it's not bad overall!)
After that, of course, it was the Animal Crossing Direct which has encouraged me to pick up Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City, which I never really got into before but I'm really enjoying it now.
I'm also trying to put a bit of time into Sonic Mania, but I'm not great at 2D Sonic -it's an amazing game, though!
I've made it to level 180-something without spending a penny on Dr. Mario World. The game literally gives you assist moves: I have 3 "extra capsules" and after 5 or so attempts at a level, Toad will give you extra capsules. What are people spending their money on here?
@TheKillerTofu I'm all for having fun (why would I play video games if I didn't enjoy them?), but using a comparison to the MAX crashes "as fun" really isn't funny. If you knew anybody on board either of those planes, I bet you wouldn't have made that comparison, so show a bit lf sympathy towards people who may well have known someone on board.
I am not by any means trying to say the Pro Controller is the best accessory - it's not, the D-Pad really could be better, but it's most definitely not the worst.
@TheKillerTofu Referencing one of the worst incidents in recent aviation history out of context really isn't necessary here and isn't respectful towards those who lost their lives.
On a serious note, I really would love Sora to get in. @dartmonkey I really hope if Sora is one of the DLC characters, your Final Smash idea comes true!
My local GAME closed a couple of years ago and was replaced by the fifth or sixth mobile phone repair shop on the high street. GAME just can't compete with online merchants.
@La-weejee In Anti-Matter's defence he's been better with the "no mature games" mindset, so I don't really think it's fair to make fun of him for that.
@La-weejee Games shouldn't be banned just because some people don't like them. People such as Anti-Matter find these games hugely enjoyable and there will be games you like that he wants banned. Everyone likes different things and we shouldn't have choice taken away just because some people don't like the genre.
@Stecav67 Please calm down and don't spam. I have read every comment here and at least on this article (I haven't checked every single article obviously) no one is attacking you.
@Deathwalka I'm definitely not triggered but if I see a comment that could make people angry, I'll respond. I was using 'angry' as an example but realistically I also try to stop comments that could start an argument. I hope you understand.
@rdlf4 Let me make this clear - I'm a moderator here. I see a comment that has made a lot of people angry, I try and calm down the argument. That's what a moderator is meant to do. If I see a comment on a Nintendo fan site that states Nintendo games are not real games, I can see that's going to cause problems and I really hope you can too.
Tetris 99 Grand Prix and some Minecraft for me. I'm quite busy sith other things this weekend, so I'm looking forward to some small sessions with these games in between!
@Patron I can tell you are clearly a troll, but listen to what I say. If you do not stop with these types of comments, you will be banned. If you want to prove you are not a troll, stop posting these types of comments. This is your chance. Take my advice and you can stay here. Ignore my advice and you'll be banned.
@Anti-Matter The other users didn't post images of the game. If you prefer DDR, that's great, but just say you'll stick with DDR and leave it at that. You're very welcome to post a rephrased comment, but just don't post pictures. Hope this helps!
Edit: Also, the article itself mentions Ring Fit which will have prompted users to compare this Zumba game to Ring Fit.
@Anti-Matter That comment had nothing to do with the article in question and neither did the image, which is why I have deleted your comment. I hope you understand.
I made the bad decision to put BotW back in yesterday so I can foresee myself playing mostly that this werkend. I'm not hunting seeds, just running or motorcycling around Hyrule!
@Gumbo1995 Sure it's easy to get the stuff online, but it's expensive. The Pikachu is selling for easily £50+ every time whereas in store it was only £20. And for me at least, it wasn't entirely about the exclusive stuff - it was about the experience of visiting a shop dedicated to one of your favourite franchises.
I went on the final weekend and after driving for three hours found the queue had closed seven minutes before I got there. This was about 45mins before it even opened. If this is a bigger store or is managed better, I'll be looking to go to this, especially if Bowler Hat Pikachu makes a return!
I don't overly like what Tencent's doing - taking shares in lots of large companies and working closely with others. As was mentioned in another article recently, it seems like Tencent wants a stranglehold of the industry.
@RupeeClock I don't think people would've minded so much if you'd said something small and insignificant like "Pidgey got cut" (which I don't actually know), but something larger and people start to get annoyed.
Those Pokémon figures are going to be insane. I'm predicting between the two games, they'll hit 250,000 in opening week. Or am I overestimating Pokémon's popularity?
Leaks are always going to be demoralising, but they'll always happen. People enjoy leaking stuff ahead of time, companies can't identify the leaker, so they keep doing it. Working hard on something for years and having it spoiled early is never going to be nice, but there's no way of stopping it.

Thanks for understanding!
Re: Two New Pokémon Revealed In Sword And Shield's 'Final' Trailer
@RupeeClock If you're going to post leaks in the comment section, it would be preferable if you would use spoiler bars.
Especially in the week up to launch, people really don't wamt to see leaks in a comment section about a trailer. Thanks!
