@ParsnipHero that's exactly what I'm hoping for from Fever. It would be the first Tennis game for me in several gens. The RPG mode reminded me of the GBC classic and the roster looked deeper than usual. The production value seemed impressive too.
@Yosher I'm really excited to see more of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. Whether it's Good-Feel or Arzest I believe both can make an engaging platformer. The format seems unusual and they were already playing with format to good results in Crafted World, so I'm curious to see how that shakes out.
Have there been any fixes or improvements to the camera? Lots of players reported issues and motion sickness, particularly that the camera stays tightly focused on DK.
Unnamed Captain Toad side story There is a new mode to the game involving Captain Toad, a Poplin wearing a similar headlamp and backpack, and Hint Toad as supporting characters, and the Koopalings as antagonists. In this side story, the player will travel with Captain Toad and the Poplin to pursue the Koopalings, who appear to use similar Wonder powers to Bowser and Bowser Jr. in the main game. A new level type is introduced here, called Brigade Tent, which contain a new collectable called Bellabel Flowers instead of Wonder Seeds.[1]

If I have the All Stars version, is there any major reason to get this edition of SMG? I'm interested in the new storybook pages but probably not $40 interested. Is the all stars version 1080p?
@Yosher I recommend the Nigongo con Teppei free podcast if you want to work on your listening skills. It's been a game changer for me. I also recommend the book Japanese Sentence Patterns for Effective Communication. I found that more helpful than Rosetta Stone.
I've been eagerly anticipating this one since I learned about it in December with the announcement of the Switch release. I'm curious if this is a game that performs smoothly on Switch or if I'm better off playing it on Switch 2. No reviews or impressions of the port online yet that I've seen.
@rdm22 The ending is one of the best parts, if not the best, so you are in for a real treat. I really need to replay the game someday. It is a truly special experience.
I just want to say I absolutely loved this game. One thing the review didn't touch on much is the absolutely stellar soundtrack. It's filled with what the kids nowadays seem to call bangers. I also really enjoyed the lack of random encounters. The Paper Mario-esque battle system was an amazing evolution of that series' original battle mechanics to me. The story and dialogue were crackling with some truly imaginative setpieces. The endgame in particular is exemplary. Anyway, this was a 10 for me, it's really stuck with me and I enjoyed it a ton.

Thank you so much for your reply! Are there any other games in UFO 50 with disturbing content, specifically anything about animals?

Re: Random: Fan Theory About Possible Nintendo Reveal Debunked By 20-Year-Old Magazine Article
@Zeldafan79 I remember that one! I was interning at a talent agency in 2006 and hot to read the script before it was produced. It was weird!

Re: Review: Horace - A Heart-Warming Nostalgia Trip And Must-Play Masterpiece
Thanks @dartmonkey, that's exactly what I meant. @StuartGipp, does any of the sad stuff in this game involve animals?
Re: Review: Horace - A Heart-Warming Nostalgia Trip And Must-Play Masterpiece
@dartmonkey any violence to animals amidst the emotional content of the game?
