I take my 2ds with me a lot. I love playing Rusty's Real Deal Baseball in the park during summer months. I find the Switch a little too big to take with me. I've actually been looking to buy a 3ds.
I remember getting the max 10 people for streetpass after only five minutes walking around in Osaka or Tokyo. I'd always have to clear them out whenever I stopped. Streetpasses really died down for me in 2019. One day I only got the same guy twice in Osaka.
I think the Switch had a good year. I liked Arceus. I still have to play Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The Mario Kart DLC is a lot of fun. I was disappointed with Pokemon: Scarlet/Violet and did not purchase them. I also did not like ACNH being abandoned. No 2023 arch is unforgivable. I didn't purchase Splatoon 3 despite 2 being my most played game on Switch.
I got an Xbox Series X the summer of 2022 and Game Pass is great. I also enjoyed my 3ds and DS lite a lot. There is so much in gaming right now you can't play it all. Just have fun with what you can.
I think Nintendo abandoning games has left me not interested. Even before the dlc things like not giving a 2 year anniversary cake was pretty weak. It couldn't have been that difficult to do.
I have over 500 hours in Splatoon 2 and it was the reasom I bought a Switch. The demo really didn't leave me impressed though. I will not being getting it right now.
I hope everyone that gets it has fun. Happy splattin'.
I still have my copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis which was the first video game that was mine and mine alone. I have other games worth more money, but that is the only one I will hold onto. I still have the Sega Genesis too. All still work.
I really liked the first game and the second was good as well. Didn't really feel different enough though. Maybe this will come to Game Pass and I can play it there.
Calling for thunderstorms all weekend where I am so the perfect excuse to stay inside and shiny hunt. I'll probably do some chain fishing in Pokemon X.
Have a good weekend everyone. Remember to stay hydrated.
I'd love to have the Splatterhouse games on here. Frightened me terribly as a child. Just rented the third from the video store and didn't know what I was in for.
I was playing some Atlus demos on my 2DS to decide which game to buy on sale. Think I'll get Stella Glow. Over this weekend I'll be hatching eggs in Pokemon Sun and getting new stickers in Kirby: Planet Robobot while watching baseball.
I've actually been playing my 2DS more than my Switch lately. I hope there is a sale or reprint of Yo-Kai Watch 3 because that game is resold for crazy amounts.
I understand how hard it is today to control impulse buying. I think I regret those more than preorders. A game will go on sale whether I see it on Deku Deals or a SwitchUp video and I get that FOMO. A lot of these I don't end up finishing.
Last year I set a limit that I could only buy four games the entire year. It worked out well. So far this year I've already bought two. I need to save the last two for Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.
This system has me clearing out my backlog a lot more and replaying games I actually enjoy. I recommend it to anyone who finds themselves in a similar position.
Playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and getting excited for some new tracks. I'll probably hunt some shiny pokemon in Arceus. I've been playing Kaze and the Wild Masks as well. I like it. Might just keep it as a week night game though.
Got my Switch in 2018. First joycons started drifting, but I blame that how hard I was on em while playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Second pair I got are still fine. No issues with anything else. It does chug a little when I get to areas on my island in ACNH that have a lot of stuff. I think that is more hardware limitations though.
Really wish they had waited a bit before showing anything. I don't like the designs of the main characters. The graphics looked horrible at times. I'll make a decision once more has been announced. I do like that the world seems vibrant and colourful though. I hate the palate used in Arceus.
I love baseball and had to stop playing this tech demo ten minutes in. MLB The Show on PS3 looked better. Just translate Powerful Pro Baseball into English for the Western audience.

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Reminds Nintendo Fans About 3DS & Wii U eShop Closure Dates
I keep debating getting Yokai Watch 3 and now I'm running out of time. The physical copy's price is ridiculous.
Re: Check Out Splatoon 3's New Trading Card Minigame That's Looks A Bit Like Tetris
This was the most interesting part of the Direct for me. I could see myself sinking a lot of time into this.
Re: Poll: What Are You Hoping To See From This Week's 'Pokémon Presents'?
I'd actually like to see Pokemon Sleep. For Scarlet/Violet I'd like to see overworld shiny pokemon. That will get me to buy the game.

Re: Splatoon 3 Gets September Release And Extended New Footage
I know September 9th is still technically summer but this is a let down for me. Guess I'll go outside more.
Re: New Genesis / Mega Drive Games Could Be Coming To Switch Online This Week
I'd love to have the Splatterhouse games on here. Frightened me terribly as a child. Just rented the third from the video store and didn't know what I was in for.
Re: Talking Point: With BOTW2 Slipping, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Launching Early Is Fantastic News
@UltimateOtaku91 This is what I want to know. I hope Splatoon 3 isn't moved back now.

Re: Looks Like Nintendo Has Been Reprinting 3DS Retail Games For A Final Hurrah
I've actually been playing my 2DS more than my Switch lately. I hope there is a sale or reprint of Yo-Kai Watch 3 because that game is resold for crazy amounts.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 26th)
I've been playing Pokemon Sun again. Poke Pelago is a lot of fun. I might do some chain fishing in Omega Ruby.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Re: Talking Point: Should We Still Be Pre-Ordering Games?
I understand how hard it is today to control impulse buying. I think I regret those more than preorders. A game will go on sale whether I see it on Deku Deals or a SwitchUp video and I get that FOMO. A lot of these I don't end up finishing.
Last year I set a limit that I could only buy four games the entire year. It worked out well. So far this year I've already bought two. I need to save the last two for Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet.

@Bolt90 First thing I thought of.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 12th)
Playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and getting excited for some new tracks. I'll probably hunt some shiny pokemon in Arceus. I've been playing Kaze and the Wild Masks as well. I like it. Might just keep it as a week night game though.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Re: Feature: 7 Reasons For Picking Starter Pokémon, But How Do You Pick Yours?
I gave up on picking grass type since Gen 1 after getting burned by Grookey in Gen 8.
Re: Talking Point: How's Your Switch Holding Up After 5 Years?
Got my Switch in 2018. First joycons started drifting, but I blame that how hard I was on em while playing Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Second pair I got are still fine. No issues with anything else. It does chug a little when I get to areas on my island in ACNH that have a lot of stuff. I think that is more hardware limitations though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 5th)
I'll be playing Pokemon Legends: Arceus. I'm in no rush to complete the dex after seeing the credits.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Holds Strong In The Wake Of Elden Ring
@Bobb As of these charts in Japan it breaks down as:
Sword/Shield 4,316,521
Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl 2,515,409
Pokemon Legends: Arceus 2,069,549
So Arceus will probably pass BD/SP, but won't come near Sword/Shield.

Re: February 27th Is Pokémon Day, And We're Getting Announcements Every Day This Week
It would be nice if they could complete BD/SP before they announce a new game.

Re: Feature: 29 Best 3DS eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
A little sad seeing all these games I enjoyed and some I still play being lost. The 3DS was a really unique system.
Re: Nintendo Is Closing The 3DS & Wii U eShops And Has "No Plans To Offer Classic Content In Other Ways"
Well now I need to pick up Crimson Shroud and Aero Porter.
As most are saying I really don't like this. I think now my 3rd party purchases will be done on Steam.
Re: Wii Sports Is Reborn As 'Nintendo Switch Sports'
Switch should have launched with this.

Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 9th February

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 5th)
No more ACNH or Mario Kart. SMT V is collecting dust. All I play now is Pokémon Arceus.
Re: Step Up To The Plate, MLB The Show 22 Is Coming To Switch
Nintendo should just make Rusty's Real Deal Baseball 2.
