@Coach_A review scores are personal to the reviewer, this is the result of the whole team agreeing on the list. I'm sure someone complains about it every month.
£40 in the UK vs $40 in the US? That's creative pricing.
Barely played my WiiU version, so could have been tempted to double dip. I mean, I LOVE Platinum (and Clover studios before that); Vanquish, Bayonetta and Nier Automata are three of my all time favourite games (I really enjoyed the Transformers game too fwiw). But not this time.
Wii attach rate much higher than I'd have expected. I'd have the thought the majority of consoles would be home to just Wii Sports and perhaps a copy of Just Dance
Animal Crossing for about 20 minutes a day. I can see that I'll have given up altogether after another couple of weeks. My daughters haven't been playing so there's been no real impetus to continue.
So what have been playing? Second playthrough of Resi 4 mostly. Bought AC Rebel Collection in the sale and now can't decide whether to add Alien Isolation or Divinity 2 to my digital collection whilst they're both on offer. Can't justify both.
This sale is going to break me. Thronebreaker, Alien Isolation, and most definitely time for Kingdom Battle at £7.50. Not to mention Atelier Ryza - a game now so rare that even £35 seems like a bargain...
There are dozens of games from my wishlist currently on offer /o
Resi 4. Didn't need it, have the Wii version on WiiU. Buyer's remorse. Still one of my all time favourites, but could have spent the money on something new instead.
Animal Crossing naturally, though that's only a half hour a day thing.
Slay the Spire - still getting to grips with the Watcher.
Battling my way through Hollow Knight, Slay the Spire (natch), DQ11S... Somewhere along the line I need to remember I have a PS4; it rarely gets a look in these days.
@Pod I think you're absolutely right; scores have become fairly meaningless as a result. Especially in the age of YouTube where we can check out a gameplay video and commentary to see if it's something worth playing...
@Rpg-lover what did you make of 2033? One of my favourite games of last-gen. Just so atmospheric, shame the combat was a bit ropey (though played into the fact that the guns are all a bit makeshift).
Have redux on PS4 so unlikely I’ll pick up on Switch. Delighted it’s available though!
Link's Awakening. Lovely lovely game, first time for me. Also still battling through Hollow Knight and working my way up the ascension levels in the best game ever (Slay the Spire).
This weekend I shall mostly be role-playing as the Dragonborn. 80 hours in; I've now played Skyrim far more than I ever did on 360 - finished it after around 50 hrs the first time!
Tempted by Thronebreaker, but most likely will be 'nothing this week'; already cleared off 4 games from my backlog this month. The benefits of not buying more games
Seriously. I haven't played most of this year's big ps4 games because of reports of how poorly they run on base consoles as they're optimised for pro models.

Re: Random: Nintendo Switch Fans React To The PC Port Of Persona 4 Golden
I never gave this enough love on my Vita. To restart or to pick up from where I left it?
Re: M2's Pac-Man Championship Edition Demake Was Originally Intended For The 3DS
This has reminded me to download the CE mini on my Vita.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - May 2020
@Coach_A I'd happily argue the point about there being no need for scores, but if I'm honest I still look at the number before reading the review

Re: UK Charts: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Goes Straight To Number One
How many copies of GTAV do people need?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 30th)
XC, with a smattering of Animal Crossing, Picross, and Slay the Spire (natch).

Re: Grab NBA 2K20 On Sale For Just £2.49 On The European Switch eShop
I won't. I'll put the money towards XC thereby making that £2.49 cheaper than it would have otherwise been. #gamerlogic
Re: Video: See Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Main Theme Performed By The Original Musicians
We need more of this sort of thing even when lockdowns are over. Bloody wonderful.
Re: The Original Voice Cast Returns To Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
I've owned & sold XC on Wii and on 3DS, plus XCX on WiiU. Still have XC2 on Switch (which I've tended to dip in and out of - not recommended!).
Never finished one. Won't stop me picking this up again though, I'm certain one day I'll find the time!

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #39 - Wetrix
That Japanese one is bonkers! Love it 😊
Love the game btw, would really love a remaster on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Switch Gets Its Fourth Picross S Series Game Next Week
Haven't even got round to 2 & 3 though they're definitely my favourite logic puzzles. Finished the first 100% though it did take about 70 hours
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 11th)
@Poketto how about Battle Chasers Nightwar? It's on sale...

Unpleasant artwork all round. Went for Japan as the last offensive

Bought Hyperlight Drifter on ipad in the week for 99p so I’ll pass

Saving a fortune on diesel at the moment so may go for FFXII.

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th March (Europe)
Been waiting for One Step From Eden since seeing a YouTube indie game channel discussing 2020 releases. Right up my street.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th March (Europe)
What will I be downloading? Did you really need to ask? <3 AC
Re: All Final Fantasy Games Are Now On Sale On Nintendo Switch
Have IV, VII, VIII, IX & X/X2 on Vita. But XII? Very tempted.
Edit: Don’t know why I bothered mentioning IV...
Re: Save 30% On WayForward's Switch Library To Celebrate 30 Years
Yup, time to grab RCG. Super.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - An Accessible And Addictive Masterpiece
Preloaded. I don't get a look in though; my daughters will totally take over the Switch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 14th)
@Krzysztof hope everything's ok. Worrying times

Re: Graph Shows All Nintendo Switch Game Metascores Over Three Years
So 7 is average! People have been trying to convince us it’s a good score for years...
joking, naturally.
OR AM I?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 7th)
Finished Link’s Awakening in the week, so now back to Hollow Knight and DQ11. Few runs of StS too, naturally.
Re: Please Konami, Stop Trolling Us And Release Castlevania: SotN On Switch Already
It's been sat on my Vita for years - and I still haven't gotten around to it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 29th)
Link's Awakening. Lovely lovely game, first time for me. Also still battling through Hollow Knight and working my way up the ascension levels in the best game ever (Slay the Spire).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 22nd)
Witcher and Hollow Knight. Very very tempted to grab something in the sales before they end
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 15th)
@BAN have the Trilogy on WiiU. Promise myself every year that I must play it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 15th)
Hollow Knight for me. Also fancy splurging on the eshop sale but not sure on what.
Re: Nintendo Of Europe Teases Blockbuster Switch Sale, Kicks Off This Week
Just in time for my birthday. Haven't bought a new game for a couple of months so let's see what we've got!
Re: Reminder: Spike Chunsoft Nintendo Switch Sale Ends Today, Entire Library Discounted
Q: do I treat myself to AI given it's my birthday next weekend?
A: yes, I think I might.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - January 2020
Quality over quantity surely?
Edit : glad I wasn't the first to spot that
Re: You Can Only Have One Island Per Console In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Huge deal for me, as both my daughters will want to play. They won't want my island and I don't want them collecting everything.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 25th)
Finished Children of Morta and Cat Quest in the week so need to decide what to start /go back to.
Perhaps Astral Chain and the one with the Goose.
Re: To The Moon Mysteriously Disappears From Nintendo Switch eShop In Europe
Super Crate Box vanished shortly after release too, and that still hasn't reappeared.
Re: Review: Puzzle & Dragons Gold - Sadly, Not Everything That Glitters Is Gold
Glad I held off!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 18th)
Wait - Puzzle and Dragons is out? That's tempting.
Nearing the end of Children of Morta and have hit the 100hr mark in Slay the Spire.
Re: Poll: What Features Would You Want In A Switch 'Pro'?
DON'T SPLIT THE PLAYER BASE
Seriously. I haven't played most of this year's big ps4 games because of reports of how poorly they run on base consoles as they're optimised for pro models.
