I'm at the point where I expect little from Nintendo. They appear to put the least amount of effort into their games. For example, look at the remakes Nintendo does then compare them to Sony and Microsoft. Don't you think Nintendo is being too cheap? The Switch is a console. It's not a DS or 3DS. On other consoles is the grass still 2D? The best games on the Switch are just ports of Wii U games. Mario Kart, Breath of the Wild (also came out on the Wii U), and Smash. Animal Crossing was fun. It just felt simpler. Why is there only Nooks Cranny? City Folk had more permanent shops. I have also been a Nintendo fan. It's just they seem to be favoring games that look like smartphone games. Nintendo Switch Online Service has the least expensive games for Nintendo to put on there. On the Wii and Wii U, we could play games like Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask. Now Nintendo just ports what they had sold on the 3DS. The joke is now we will probably pay 60 dollars for the port of each of those two. This post is not a hate Nintendo post. It's more of the frustration of a long-time Nintendo fan.
I think it's lame that you can't transfer from Pokemon Go yet. Why is Pokemon Galar so special that it can't handle older generation Pokemon? If it is another cash grab idea from Nintendo I will be mad. Transfer your Pokemon for 10 dollars. Is this still a kid's game?
I plan to get Pikmin 3 at a later date. I am torn. I adore Jurassic Park and World. Didn't this game come on smartphones? I wasn't impressed with that game.
The demo left me impressed and surprised. The game is fun and challenging. Though, as someone who has beat KH2, Birth By Sleep, and Dream Drop Distance on critical, the game takes getting used to. I will get this game. I await more Kingdom Hearts games on the Switch. Until then, I will continue to play Kingdom Hearts on my PS3.
Pokemon Crown and Armor. I also am trying to find a few Pokemon. I need to Hatch some eggs too. Pokemon Home makes it easy to find the Mons I need to complete the Dex. I'll be playing Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town, the Lake Mine has a lot of expensive jewels. I have been able to upgrade and buy so many farm animals because of the mine. You don't even have to go that deep to make thousands. I can't figure out what what the deal is with all these different types of cows. There's a normal cow, a coffee cow, and a fruit cow.
@Shiro28 Rise may go down as one of the best Switch games. Rise could be the mountaintop for the Switch. The start of games high in quality coming to the Switch. The graphics seem to be getting better on the new Switch games. Rise could be the start of something amazing on the Switch.
As soon as it came available I preordered the deluxe edition. I wonder where this game will rank? Will it be like Monster Hunter World or Generations. I really hope they used a lot of things from World. World was more welcoming to beginners.
The Wii was my favorite console. It had the Virtual Console, Madden, and NCAA Football. I played Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask so many times. Harvest Moon SNES was fun too. The option to play GameCube discs was amazing! I learned how amazing Windwaker was. Twilight Princess was fun to play on the Wii too. I didn't get into Skyward Sword as much. The Wii had really good Harvest Moon games. If I can play those games on the Switch, I may believe the Switch is better than the Wii. Based on the track record of the Nintendo Switch Online, it won't pass the Wii.
I would be surprised if the Switch holiday prediction comes true. There might need to be a game besides Hyrule Warriors coming out this holiday season for the prediction to come true. Would even the N64 Nintendo Switch Online make people want this over a PS5 or Xbox One Series X? Are there that many people who don't have a Switch yet? I imagine people that have wanted a Switch probably bought one over the last few months.
@bobzbulder After spending an hour and a half and not seeing a scorpion, I give up. I have other games to play. They should make it easier to find exotic fruit too. I liked how New Leaf did the fruit. I don't know anyone that has a Switch, so I won't get all the fruit. I mean it's okay, I do have other games to play.
@WoomyNNYes Thanks. Yea, I have never owned an amiibo so that does not matter to me. The big drawback is having to buy batteries. If it were chargeable it would be a for sure buy.
How are Power A Pro Controllers? Do they work similar to Nintendo made Pro Controllers? Pro Controllers made by Nintendo are going for 80 at Amazon. I don't want to spend 80 for a Pro Controller. Power A Controllers are going for 40.
These coins can't be free. We pay to transfer Pokemon we already caught? Didn't we pay for the Pokeballs? We also pay for Pokemon home? Why is the Pokemon company so money hungry? Aren't these games supposed to be kids' games?
I've tried the streaming service Stadia and found my one gig internet wasn't even fast enough. My game kept legging. I ended up selling my Chromecast and controllers. The legging was effecting my ability to game. Console gaming is so much better.
I'm torn. There hasn't been a good NFS game for a while. I haven't really enjoyed a NFS since Most Wanted. The last few have made me hesitant. I used to get all the new NFS games, but the last few titles were not as fun. I'll wait and see the reviews.
I'll pick this up after the draft. The update seems like the stuff they should do on a yearly basis before the game comes out. If my team picks Le'melo Ball, I just may pass on this title for a few years.
@RennanNT Yea, I knew how to switch during battle like that. I just meant having the ability to switch when they bring out the next monster without having to have the monster you put in take damage. Thanks for the tips for the shards, I was close to selling them.
@HXLXIII Is switching in the options? I found two 25 percent exp shares but they are hold items. Only two get the exp. I did find where you get bonus exp.
It reminds me of a mixture of Pokemon Emerald and Platinum by the feel of the game. My Nexomon get knocked out more than any Pokemon game. Some of the monsters designs are strange, some are cool. There's no option to switch your Nexomon during battle, that makes it more difficult. It's a game where you actually have to level up your team often. It's really nice to be able to re-battle the trainers, it helps with leveling up. I was surprised how deep the game was with all these quests and items. I haven't found exp-share, though I did find two items with a quest where two of my Nexomon receive 25 percent of the exp. There are also items where it boosts your Nexomon's exp earned and that the team earns. All of those were found via quests. There's even a dex, that shows all the monsters you've seen. They did well. Will it replace Pokemon? No, but it's fun and more challenging. Is it too challenging for children, I wonder?
Mipha and Ravali are the only ones who don't use a sword. They might be the ones that may come in the most handy. That is, unless there's stats for the characters. Link and the Lucky Ladle and the Training Sword might be my favorite. Though if there's special moves for each character we shall see who's my favorite.
I see some similarities, but this game looks so different than Breath Of the Wild. Since its free, I will pay more attention. Though, if it's free to play, but pay to advance, I will give up on it.
Johto was my favorite region. When it came out I was in elementary school and finally learned to read. I beat the first without knowing how to read, I was 6 at the time when I beat the Red version. Part of me thinks this helped my reading when I was a child.
I wish it were a little more like City Folk or New Leaf where Redd and Leif had permanent shops. Can't forget the guy who gave the emotions or even the recycle shop. The recycle shop I almost liked more thank Nooks Cranny.
Back when it came to the Gamecube, I beat the game. I am playing through this on my Switch. I am surprised by how much I have forgotten. I don't remember where to go. How did I beat this 18 years ago as a kid?
There's already N64 games on the Switch; Star Wars Pod Racer, Doom 64, Mario 64. Wii; Xenoblade and Mario Galaxy. Gamecube; Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Mario Sunshine. With that said it would make the Nintendo Switch Online Service worth subscribing to if N64, Wii, and Gamecube came. I would subscribe if any of those consoles were on the service.
@Burning_Bacon Is the RE engine good graphics wise? The last Monster Hunter didn't look that different than the 3DS version. I am planning to get the game regardless. I already pre-ordered the deluxe edition of the Eshop. I am not familiar with the RE engine. Is on par with most Switch games or better?
@Friendly Rune Factory5 was spoken about last year. The Monster Hunter games were rumored so they weren't a surprise. The India's were speculated. I was expecting a surprise. The Monster Hunter games sound amazing because they aren't ports. Rune Factory looked better than the one that came out early this year. We knew about these games though. What about a surprise like a new sports game or a good Star Wars game?
@Ulysses Origin is or will be on Gamepass. What if NSO had EA Play included. Most people have one console and don't game on their PC so Ganepass isn't available for most Nintendo fans.
