Internet data where I live is still FAR too expensive. I do not even stream TV (don’t have Netflix, Stan, Disney+ etc.) and still run out of data each month. There is no way I can afford more data (or unlimited data), already paying an arm and a leg for it as it is. Everyone seems to think that online / streaming is the way of the future. No, at the moment, it is not for some of us unfortunately. That is not to even mention the poor reception you can still receive in certain areas.
We get this Disney game on the Switch whilst the other consoles get “Kingdom Hearts” and “The Disney Afternoon Collection” [games that were originally on the NES].... To top it off, this game costs $79.95 on the eShop in Australia (😮). Sad times indeed. 😔
I must be in the minority. After all the praise that Untitled Goose Game was getting I bought it and played it. I can not say that I cared all too much for it. I do not think it is a bad game but I also do not think that it really deserves the top spot. For me it was more of just a “meh” kind of game.
My love for Nintendo started in the 1980s. I owned a NES and a truckload of NES games. I will always associate the movie “The Wizard” with the NES as well, I grew up watching that movie MANY times. I loved it because “it’s so bad”.😄
Since then the other Nintendo consoles that I have owned have been: the N64, the Wii and now the Switch.
As for handhelds, I have owned a Game Boy Advance, a few DSs, a few 3DSs and a NEW 3DS. I never had an original Game Boy but both of my little sisters had one each. I used to steal (um,.. borrow) theirs. Most of the time (unless we went on holidays) I just used to play the NES instead.
Definitely going to get this at some point. The only other Luigi’s Mansion that I have played was the 3DS game but I loved it. I still have my Luigi’s Mansion diorama (from Club Nintendo) as well.
Maybe if it was not SNES related. I never had a SNES back in the 1990s, so it holds no nostalgia factor for me. My first Nintendo home console was the original NES (which I first had back in the 1980s), then the N64, Wii and now the Switch. Seems like I have skipped every second generation of Nintendo consoles for some reason (😮😄). I do already own a number of NES related shirts though and even my backpack looks like a giant NES controller. 👍
Some people even go as far as to make up stuff online, present it as fact and then totally diss anyone who dares to say it is wrong.
I have seen it many times. I remember correcting someone online and boy did I cop an earful. I have never seen (or heard) such absolute vulgarity in my life. The worst thing is that many people will just blindly believe whatever it is that they read / see / hear, whether it be true or not. Sad to see that it has even spread to TV now. Although I must admit that hearing the Tetris blocks thought to have names such as “Smashboy” and “Orange Ricky” is hilarious. 😆
@Kang81 No need to apologise, I did not find your comment insulting or negative at all. Sorry if what I said gave you that impression, it was certainly not what I intended. I guess it is much harder when you write something to someone online for it to come across as you intended it to.
I just wanted to clarify that I do not find the DKC games bad, they are just not some of the games that I love or am that that interested in. They are not games that I will totally avoid altogether though. They are just nowhere near as good as the Banjo Kazooie series of games for me. That was why I am disappointed that they have made this new Yooka-Laylee game more like DKC than a “spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie”. I know many people will like that is more akin to DKC though. I hope you enjoy this new game and I may even play it in the future as well. It just not something that is on my wishlist or that I will preording day one (like I did with the original Yooka-Laylee).
@Kang81 I don’t hate the DKC games (is it even possible to “hate” that franchise? 🤔 I don’t think so! 👍), just not really my cup of tea. The two original Banjo and Kazooie games are two of my favourite games of ALL time. Especially the first, Banjo-Kazooie. I must have played it about 50 times (on both the N64 and XBox 360) over the years. I have never played any other game to full completion as much as Banjo-Kazooie (besides maybe Super Mario 1, 2 and 3 - starting with them on the NES when I was a kid in the 1980s).
This is not the “Tooka Laylee” that I was hoping for. When Microsoft (XBox) took Banjo Kazooie away from Nintendo they turned it into almost a totally different game. I was a huge fan of Banjo-Kazooie back when it was released in the 1990s. One of the reasons I purchased an XBox 360 back in the day, was just so I could play the “newest” Banjo and Kazooie game (“Nuts and Bolts”). Only to be utterly disappointed. I was a huge fan of the 3D collectathon genre, this was not what I had wanted...
Looks like the same thing has happened again with this game. I know that I am in the minority but I have never really enjoyed playing the DKC games. I don’t hate the games but I am someone who would much rather play a 3D collectathon game over a 2D sidescrolling game. Plus there are A LOT of other 2D sidescolling games already available on the market. Yooka-Laylee brought back a genre that I absolutely loved in the past (“a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie”). Yooka-Laylee may not have been on the same level that was the original Banjo-Kazooie but at least it helped to revitalise a genre that I was sorely missing. That was the reason why I was so hyped for Yooka-Laylee when it was first released. To those people who DO like the DKC games though, happy gaming (😃). I may still pick this up sometime but probably only if I find it at a discount.
I had a NES back in the 1980s, my younger cousins also had one as well. None of us had a power glove though. None of us wanted one.. The Wizard on the other hand, I loved that movie so much when it was first released (❤️). Where have the years gone?
I was just saying, not too long ago, that we need a Jurassic Park (World) game on the Switch.. I already own this Lego game on the Vita and XBox 360 though.. Do I really want to play this same game all over again, only on the Switch this time? 🤔
Ok, now I think it is officially time for some of us to start feeling old. I never had the original gameboy but my two little sisters both had one each. They used to play those but as for me, I was usually always at home playing my Atari 2600 or NES. 😄
Sorry, I disagree with the first paragraph of this review (about video games once being more associated with movies than TV series and them being “few and far between”).
Sure, there used to be a video game for almost any movie that was released at the time. However, I found that the same also applied to TV series (especially cartoon TV series).
Think of any cartoon from the 1980s or 1990s and chances are that there was also a video game for that show (even obscure shows, such as “Widget the World Watcher” had a video game created for them). TV series such as Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, DuckTales, ALF, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, SuperTed, Inspector Gadget, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Family Guy, The Smurfs, Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Jimmy Neutron etc. all had (sometimes multiple) video games created for them.
This is what I have been asking for years. Literally years.
The N64 was the second Nintendo home console I ever owned (after the NES, which I had in the 1980s). I never had a SNES. Banjo-Kazooie was my favourite game that I owned on that console (tied of course with Super Mario 64).
Anyway, Banjo-Kazooie was and has remained one of my favourite games of all time. I must have played it (to 100%) about 10 to 20 times over the years since it was released (including on the XBox).
I was devastated when XBox took Banjo away from Nintendo though. To see them in a game (a rerelease of the original?) on the Switch would be... there are no words... I will try not to get my hopes up too much but please let this be true! ❤️
I never even saw the new Jumanji. I remember seeing the Robin Williams movie (at the cinemas) in the mid 1990s though. Will there be a video game for that one too? Or even just a new board game version? 😄
Good choices! I can not say that I like all of those games (some of them just do not appeal to me at all) but there are many on the list that I do like. I never had the Wii U, so many of these games were firsts for me.
My favourite games (that I own) so far would be:
Captain Toad - Treasure Trackers
Crash Bandicoot - N-Sane Trilogy [I had all of these on the Playstation when they were first released back in the day]
Dragon Quest Builders
Go Vacation [I had a lot of fun trying to find and capture photos of all those creatures - especially the thing in the sky at night (at the skate park) / the thing in the lake - (don’t want to give too much away)]
Lego City Undercover
Letter Quest Remastered
Mario Kart 8
My Time At Portia [if it were not for the bugs / glitches]
Piczle Lines
Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney Trilogy [even though I have played them all previously on the DS]
Super Mario Odyssey
Wheel Of Fortune [I have always been a big fan of this [I grew up on the Australian version in the 1980s/ 1990s], although I had to purchase it from the USA, as it is not sold in Australia]
Yooka Laylee [“Banjo-Kazooie” is one of my favourite games of all time, this is not on that level but I still liked it]
I love how they want me to fill out surveys for games that I purchase on Switch. They offer to reward me with “platinum points” that can be used for Wii U or 3DS game rewards. Um, hello?.. I am using the “Switch”, remember? There is nothing there that I can actually use the platinum points for (at least not in Australia). Club Nintendo was far better than this (at least I could actually use the points for something back then).
@Anti-Matter My game is basically unplayable after being “patched”. Not being able to give presents or commissions (without glitching) is especially troublesome [as it is a big part of the game].
Not sure about the PS4 version. I play the Switch version (as I like the portability of the game). Hopefully someone who plays on PS4 can answer you.
@KarateLuigi The worst part is how many hours I have sunk into this game. It is basically the only game that I have been playing since it was released (I pre-ordered it). I have fallen in love with this game, to be perfectly honest.
[I was not really experiencing any problems at all until this “patch” was released. Now, it is unplayable. 😔]
@dugan Thank you. It really is a shame, as I was loving this game. There is so much to do and was one game that I really had trouble trying to put down. If it was not for the bugs / glitches, this could easily be one of my favourite games in this genre in a long time.
@Nathan The bugs / glitches for the Switch version of “My Time At Portia” are worse than ever (for me at least) after the patch. Completely unplayable in some areas. I had no problems (well, “game breaking” problems) before the patch. Now I definitely do. This is just following the same normal everyday game day routine (which I had no problems with before the “patch”). Now I can not even make it halfway through a game day (before something happens to make the game absolutely unplayable). 😡
Seems they just rushed out this patch without even checking it first!
Some examples:
When trying to spar with an NPC, a black screen occurs whilst the battle music plays, then after a while it simply goes back to the game and my player is frozen and unable to move.
When trying to pet animals in the barn, a glitch where a neverending (game freezing) animation of petting that animal sometimes occurs.
When trying to take photos for quests, you are told “maximum photos reached”, which renders the quests uncompletable. Deleting the photos does not work or fix the situation.
After climbing off my horse, my players head is twisted around in an oddly disturbing angle.
I can not complete commissions or give presents. Whenever I try to give any of the NPCs anything (presents or their commissions) the game breaks. Sometimes my character freezes and can not move. Sometimes I can move but my players arms are stuck in a “reaching out” (“giving presents”) position and when I try moving, my player starts sliding [instead of walking]. I can not do anything at all [talk to NPCs / pick up items / enter buildings etc.] whilst my player is [stuck / until new day, or reset] in this position.
Posting comissions on the Civil Corps board can freeze the game completely.
These are all things that I could easily do before the patch (except for the photos one). Now the game is just a complete mess.
Yes, like some people have mentioned, the long loading times when first starting up “My Time At Portia” still exist. However the slider that you can adjust (in the options menu), to give you a little more time for each game day, is a welcome addition to the Switch.
It is a great game. I had never even heard of it until it launched on the Switch. I never really experienced major glitches or problems with it and have finished the main storyline (or thereabouts). Have enjoyed “my time at Portia” (so much in fact, that it has been hard to put it down at times). The only bad thing has been the excruciatingly long load times when first starting up the game (although once into the game, the load times have been decent). Hope this update can successfully iron out the wrinkles that other people have experienced on the Switch.
Can Nintendo make a game which is a cross between Mario (in regards to the level of difficulty / platforming) and Cuphead please? That would be an instant buy from me. I love the animation style, [always been an early Disney (including Silly Symphonies - which Cuphead reminds me of) fan] music and the other aesthetics of this game.
I would prefer more of a platformer though (instead of many boss battles) and a more relaxed play style. I did grow up with difficult games on my NES back in the 1980s / 1990s (such as “Battletoads”) but was never able to finish some of them, no matter how hard I tried.
These days I much prefer games that you can see through to the end. Cuphead would definitely be one of those games. Since I think that would not be the case, I will have to pass. No matter how amazing the game looks.
I am more than double the age of Animal Crossing then... the years really do go by too fast when you get older. Seems like the 1990s were only just yesterday. I will probably be as old as Tortimer before I know it. 😆
I preordered and downloaded this to my Switch about a week ago.
I was playing Farm Together but after accumulating more than a million dollars in the game and unlocking all animals / plants / buildings etc. there is not really much left to do.
Hopefully this game will keep me busy for a bit.
I saw “the 50 best Nintendo 3DS games”... “as voted by you”... and thought “strange, I visit this site everyday (well, whenever I can anyway 😁) and don’t remember being asked to vote”. Then I saw it was based upon the user ratings. That’s when it all made sense. 👍
This was released in Australia before the rest of the world. I downloaded it on day one (so could have been one of the first to be able to play it). I do remember playing the Christmas event but got bored with this game after a while. Probably been more than a year since I last played. However, I am anticipating the Switch version later this year. 👍
Being someone who was a kid in the 80s / early 90s, I would probably pick the NES version. I have always been a fan of anything that is NES related though.
I also like the look of the SNES version (although I never owned a SNES, I went straight from NES to N64).
Wasn’t there already a story earlier this year (or was it last year?) about someone turning their TV into a giant Switch. I remember people thinking it was hilarious that the TV was clearly (in the pic) a Sony. 😁
Not the best Direct in my opinion, was alright I suppose. No mention of Animal Crossing, Luigi’s Mansion, a possible Spyro release or Kingdom Hearts (was not expecting KH for the Switch anyway but this site seems to like to hype us up for it).
The only games that I am possibly interested in that were shown were Super Mario Maker and Zelda, with Dragon Quest also looking like it could be a great game as well. Odyssey and Breath of the Wild were the two games that I bought the Switch for in the first place anyway. Always Mario and Zelda. 😃
I love Disney but am not a big fan of Tsum Tsum (and that game looked dull to me). Not much from Disney has been released to the switch and THAT is what we are getting? I would love a good game set in the Disney universe for the Switch (does not necessarily have to be KH) over that.
I am playing Farm Together on the Switch. I had never even heard of it until a day or two ago. Actually not a bad game for those who like farming type games.
The only thing that may be a problem is that it requires a constant internet connection. It dropped out for me a few times whilst playing.
There is no story at all (as far as I have seen). There are special events though (based on real time). There is a special valentines event on at the moment [a “collect enough of this to win special limited-time only awards” type event]. I think that there are 10 or 11 days left for it.
I have also heard from various people that there will be regular updates to the game as well (new items added to the game etc.).
This is best suited to those that like to decorate / farm, without anything else to get in the way. I am still in the early stages at the moment but am enjoying it. It is the type of game that is great for short bursts of gameplay (a perfect fit I think for the Switch / provided that you have constant access to the internet).
I love Filbert as well, always been one of my favourite villagers. I have had him in Wild World and New Leaf.
The other one that I love is Ozzie (the koala).
They look awesome (😍) but might be too much clutter for me. I don’t really buy plushies either, I prefer statues or figures. Anyway, I am happy with the Mario / Yoshi statues that I already own.
Ok, maybe I would take one or two... or three!! (😊) of them but I won’t go out of my way to get one.
So is this actually a TV, or is it leaked proof that Sony is developing their own version of the Switch? This Switch seems to state that it is indeed from Sony.
Too bad it is not a Microsoft Switch. Maybe then we could have some luck with getting “Banjo-Kazooie” on to Switch? [“Banjo-Kazooie coming in 2022 to the Microsoft XBox Switch?” 🤔] 😄

@Nathan The bugs / glitches for the Switch version of “My Time At Portia” are worse than ever (for me at least) after the patch. Completely unplayable in some areas. I had no problems (well, “game breaking” problems) before the patch. Now I definitely do. This is just following the same normal everyday game day routine (which I had no problems with before the “patch”). Now I can not even make it halfway through a game day (before something happens to make the game absolutely unplayable). 😡
Seems they just rushed out this patch without even checking it first!
Some examples:
These are all things that I could easily do before the patch (except for the photos one). Now the game is just a complete mess.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 18th)
Yes, like some people have mentioned, the long loading times when first starting up “My Time At Portia” still exist. However the slider that you can adjust (in the options menu), to give you a little more time for each game day, is a welcome addition to the Switch.
Re: My Time At Portia Switch Update Improves Performance And Adds New Content
It is a great game. I had never even heard of it until it launched on the Switch. I never really experienced major glitches or problems with it and have finished the main storyline (or thereabouts). Have enjoyed “my time at Portia” (so much in fact, that it has been hard to put it down at times). The only bad thing has been the excruciatingly long load times when first starting up the game (although once into the game, the load times have been decent). Hope this update can successfully iron out the wrinkles that other people have experienced on the Switch.
Re: Review: Cuphead - The Xbox Masterpiece Becomes An Essential Purchase On Switch
Can Nintendo make a game which is a cross between Mario (in regards to the level of difficulty / platforming) and Cuphead please? That would be an instant buy from me. I love the animation style, [always been an early Disney (including Silly Symphonies - which Cuphead reminds me of) fan] music and the other aesthetics of this game.
I would prefer more of a platformer though (instead of many boss battles) and a more relaxed play style. I did grow up with difficult games on my NES back in the 1980s / 1990s (such as “Battletoads”) but was never able to finish some of them, no matter how hard I tried.
These days I much prefer games that you can see through to the end. Cuphead would definitely be one of those games. Since I think that would not be the case, I will have to pass. No matter how amazing the game looks.
Re: Animal Crossing Is Now 18 Years Old
I am more than double the age of Animal Crossing then... the years really do go by too fast when you get older. Seems like the 1990s were only just yesterday. I will probably be as old as Tortimer before I know it. 😆
Re: My Time At Portia Will Receive An Early Switch Patch To Improve Poor Loading Times
@Quinnsdaddy11
Yes, I like the look of this game. I have been watching a few gameplay videos of it.
Re: My Time At Portia Will Receive An Early Switch Patch To Improve Poor Loading Times
I preordered and downloaded this to my Switch about a week ago.
I was playing Farm Together but after accumulating more than a million dollars in the game and unlocking all animals / plants / buildings etc. there is not really much left to do.
Hopefully this game will keep me busy for a bit.

Re: Feature: The 50 Best Nintendo 3DS Games Of All Time - Zelda, Pokémon, Animal Crossing And More
I saw “the 50 best Nintendo 3DS games”... “as voted by you”... and thought “strange, I visit this site everyday (well, whenever I can anyway 😁) and don’t remember being asked to vote”.
Then I saw it was based upon the user ratings. That’s when it all made sense. 👍
Re: Expect More Xbox Live-Enabled Games To Come To Switch Over The Next Year
Can I finally see one of my gaming dreams come true? - See something (anything) Banjo Kazooie related back on a Nintendo console. 🤞
Re: Video: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Was Almost A Completely Different Game
This was released in Australia before the rest of the world. I downloaded it on day one (so could have been one of the first to be able to play it). I do remember playing the Christmas event but got bored with this game after a while. Probably been more than a year since I last played. However, I am anticipating the Switch version later this year. 👍
Re: Designer Shares Switch And Joy-Con Mock-Ups Based On Every Nintendo Home Console
Being someone who was a kid in the 80s / early 90s, I would probably pick the NES version. I have always been a fan of anything that is NES related though.
I also like the look of the SNES version (although I never owned a SNES, I went straight from NES to N64).
Re: Video: The Doom Annihilation Movie Looks Absolutely Horrifying
Looks about as much fun as the movie “Stranded” starring Christian Slater. 😆💩
Re: Random: Fan Turns 65-Inch TV Into A Giant Nintendo Switch
Wasn’t there already a story earlier this year (or was it last year?) about someone turning their TV into a giant Switch. I remember people thinking it was hilarious that the TV was clearly (in the pic) a Sony. 😁
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
Not the best Direct in my opinion, was alright I suppose.
No mention of Animal Crossing, Luigi’s Mansion, a possible Spyro release or Kingdom Hearts (was not expecting KH for the Switch anyway but this site seems to like to hype us up for it).
The only games that I am possibly interested in that were shown were Super Mario Maker and Zelda, with Dragon Quest also looking like it could be a great game as well. Odyssey and Breath of the Wild were the two games that I bought the Switch for in the first place anyway. Always Mario and Zelda. 😃
I love Disney but am not a big fan of Tsum Tsum (and that game looked dull to me). Not much from Disney has been released to the switch and THAT is what we are getting? I would love a good game set in the Disney universe for the Switch (does not necessarily have to be KH) over that.
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st January (North America)
I am playing Farm Together on the Switch. I had never even heard of it until a day or two ago. Actually not a bad game for those who like farming type games.
The only thing that may be a problem is that it requires a constant internet connection. It dropped out for me a few times whilst playing.
There is no story at all (as far as I have seen). There are special events though (based on real time). There is a special valentines event on at the moment [a “collect enough of this to win special limited-time only awards” type event]. I think that there are 10 or 11 days left for it.
I have also heard from various people that there will be regular updates to the game as well (new items added to the game etc.).
This is best suited to those that like to decorate / farm, without anything else to get in the way. I am still in the early stages at the moment but am enjoying it. It is the type of game that is great for short bursts of gameplay (a perfect fit I think for the Switch / provided that you have constant access to the internet).
Re: Random: The Grandma Who's Played Animal Crossing For 3,580 Hours Is Back With A Town Tour Video
I love Filbert as well, always been one of my favourite villagers. I have had him in Wild World and New Leaf.
The other one that I love is Ozzie (the koala).
Re: Call Off The Search, The Best Yoshi's Crafted World Bundle Has Well And Truly Been Found
They look awesome (😍) but might be too much clutter for me. I don’t really buy plushies either, I prefer statues or figures. Anyway, I am happy with the Mario / Yoshi statues that I already own.
Ok, maybe I would take one or two... or three!! (😊) of them but I won’t go out of my way to get one.
Re: Random: Nintendo Fan Turns Television Into A Gigantic Switch
So is this actually a TV, or is it leaked proof that Sony is developing their own version of the Switch? This Switch seems to state that it is indeed from Sony.
Too bad it is not a Microsoft Switch. Maybe then we could have some luck with getting “Banjo-Kazooie” on to Switch? [“Banjo-Kazooie coming in 2022 to the Microsoft XBox Switch?” 🤔] 😄
