Splatoon 2 - Sadly now you either get one side of pure domination(ranked) or everyone jumping around not playing properly(Turf wars). Wish they'd still do Splatfests.
ACNH - I've been enjoying collecting the valentine's day and festivale items. Also sending letters into the void to friends who no longer play.
Pokemon White - First playthrough. Having more fun than when I started but still feels like work. Really has an end of generation feel and makes me appreciate the quality of life upgrades in Gen VI.
Civilization VI - Got the physical on sale. Beautiful game and very addicting. Highly recommended.
@MorganWhoop This series is my first time watching since the original and it is really good. There are a lot of similar parts to the adventures manga especially how Pokemon interact with society. Some mature character development as well like a whole episode about neglectful parents. I recommend it.
I didn't dig the Monster Hunter Rise demo. I'd like to see how much extra content Bowser's Fury is before making a decision. Persona 5 Strikers seemed like a day one purchase for me but I don't know now.
I'm playing through Pokemon White for the first time. Just beat the second gym yesterday. So far so good. I'm not seeing "best Pokemon game ever" like most claim though.
Besides that the usual Animal Crossing New Horizon and Splatoon 2. I caught the shiny Tauros for the raid event in Pokemon Shield and may go back to get a shiny Miltank.
I really loved Persona 5 when I played it on the PS3, but I'm still not sold on this game. I wish Persona 5 vanilla or royal were on the Switch so people could enjoy the original game.
Animal Crossing as I do every day. Splatoon 2 to get ready for the Splatfest. Breath of the Wild which I still haven't finished. I like taking it slow. I tried the Monster Hunter Rise demo, but didn't care much for it. I'll give it a few more tries.
I picked up Katamari Damacy Reroll. I'm a fan of the series. The Switch controls are a little weird at first. If you buy it stick with it and you get used to them.
Animal Crossing New Horizons as usual. Also started Breath of Fire II on the SNES app. Random encounters are eery few steps and music is very generic but the story and rpg elements are fun.
Mercenaries Saga 2 and 3 on the 3DS were great. Fairly priced games that took around 10 hours to beat. I keep waiting for a decent discount on Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix. I'll add this to my wish list.
Animal Crossing New Horizons every day. Also playing Ni no Kuni. Visually very beautiful, but I feel the gameplay is too many different jrpgs ideas thrown together.
I bought a Switch to play Splatoon 2 without ever knowing about the first game. Everyone I've showed it to has got their own copy now. I hope they keep the Splatfests happening and give away ability tokens in the news feed to keep the game in people's minds. I'd love it to be one of the first Nintendo Selects on Switch so more people can play it.
I've actually put way more time into my Switch yet still if you asked me my favourite console I would say my 2DS. So many fun memories. A lot of them involving Streetpass.

Re: Japanese Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Is Still Selling Well, But Nothing Can Stop Momotaro Dentetsu
Konami surely have made enough money to translate Momotaro Dentetsu now right? Seems weird in 2021 to have a 2 million+ seller be Japanese exclusive.

Team Super Star for me.
Good luck to everyone. Hope someone manages to get a coin.
Re: Persona 5 Strikers Brings The Hype With New Action-Packed Trailer
I really loved Persona 5 when I played it on the PS3, but I'm still not sold on this game. I wish Persona 5 vanilla or royal were on the Switch so people could enjoy the original game.

It was neat getting it this morning. I hope the new update has a trailer soon.
Re: New Pokémon Snap Scores April Release Date On Switch, Watch The New Trailer Here

Re: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game Gets A Physical Release And Two Limited Editions
@chocolate_supra Ah I misread it. Thank you.
Re: Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game Gets A Physical Release And Two Limited Editions
Looks excellent except for the fact you cannot pick your cover. I don't want to buy the game twice to get the cover I want.
Re: Reminder: Bandai Namco 'Winter Meltdown' Sale Ends Today, 25 Switch Games Discounted
I picked up Katamari Damacy Reroll. I'm a fan of the series. The Switch controls are a little weird at first. If you buy it stick with it and you get used to them.

Re: Japanese Charts: Momotaro Dentetsu Fends Off Cyberpunk 2077 As Switch Sales Rise Yet Again
If Momotaro Dentetsu passes 1 million units sold will Konami release it in the West? I hope so.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th December (North America)
I'm waiting for Mercenaries Blaze: Dawn of the Twin Dragons to go on sale.
Re: Japanese Charts: Animal Crossing Thwarted By Momotaro Dentetsu And Derby Stallion
I wonder if Momotaro Dentetsu will break 1 million physical sales.
Re: Video: Feel-Good Animal Crossing: New Horizons Clip Wishes Fans A Happy Festive Season
@ChessboardMan Yes. It was briefly shown during the December update video too.

Re: Video: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Trailer Shows Us What's New In December
@rjejr Thanks for this advice. Yeah haven't seen anything that fast yet. The giant clam was difficult. Haven't caught a sea pig yet either.
Re: Video: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Trailer Shows Us What's New In December
I was trying to catch the lobster on Saturday. Caught five spiny lobsters.

@Munchlax Shiny Noctowl is a classic.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 5th)
On my second playthrough of Fire Emblem Three Houses. Animal Crossing New Horizons everyday as usual. A little bit of Dragon Quest V as well.
Re: Why Is Fire Emblem So Dark On Switch? It Reportedly Runs On The Same Emulator Used On Wii U
Cool I'll get to save some money by not buying this.

Re: Christmas Toy Items Have Appeared In Animal Crossing: New Horizons For A Limited Time
My shop had the Set of Stockings(pink) and the tin robot(red). Fun.
Re: Mercenaries Blaze: Dawn Of The Twin Dragons Brings More Tactical RPG Action To Switch This Month
Mercenaries Saga 2 and 3 on the 3DS were great. Fairly priced games that took around 10 hours to beat. I keep waiting for a decent discount on Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix. I'll add this to my wish list.
Re: New Animal Crossing-Themed Nintendo Switch Lite Bundles Appear For Black Friday
I really like the Coral Pink Switch Lite. Fine with my regular Switch for now.
Re: Animal Crossing Wins Nintendo Game Of The Year At The Golden Joysticks, Here Are All The Winners
I really hope video games don't become like television and films with a bunch of industry people giving themselves pats on the back.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 21st)
Animal Crossing New Horizons every day. Also playing Ni no Kuni. Visually very beautiful, but I feel the gameplay is too many different jrpgs ideas thrown together.
Re: New Restrictions Placed On Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
@TheSmashTheorist Toy day is December 24th.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Sales Remain Strong As Next-Gen Systems Hit The Market
Great sales numbers for Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.

Playing FFIX, hunting shinies in Dynamax Adventures, and picking up branches in ACNH.
Re: Random: Ball Guy Is Getting His Very Own Pokémon Trading Card
@Bobb Search your deck for up to 3 different items with "Ball" in their name, reveal them and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
Re: 20 Nintendo Switch Titles Sold Over A Million Copies Between April And September
I bought a Switch to play Splatoon 2 without ever knowing about the first game. Everyone I've showed it to has got their own copy now. I hope they keep the Splatfests happening and give away ability tokens in the news feed to keep the game in people's minds. I'd love it to be one of the first Nintendo Selects on Switch so more people can play it.
Re: Soapbox: An Ode To The 3DS, Nintendo's Workhorse Console

Re: Poll: Splatoon 2's Spooky Splatfest Is Underway, Which Side Are You Fighting For?
Team Treat. I hope we get more Splatfests. It seems easy enough to put on and it'll keep fans happy while Nintendo works on Splatoon 3.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 31st)
Animal Crossing, Splatoon 2 for Splatfest and Pokemon Shield for Dynamax Adventures. Happy Halloween everyone.
