I didn't mind SR4, so I'd probably grab it if it's on cartridge. If it doesn't actually come to Switch, I'm not gonna be too disappointed although I hope it does because that could increase probability of SR5 coming to Switch. Looking forward to Deep Silver's news this year.
I'm playing Let's Go Eevee, just doing some shiny hunting before going against Koga. Caught 2 so far while trying for different Pokemon; one is a shiny Nidoran female while trying for the male, and the other was a Rattata while trying for a Vulpix.
@SmaMan I like the way you think. Would absolutely love a new Colosseum or Pinball game for Switch. Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness are two of my favourite GameCube games, a definite Day One buy if they came back as either remakes or a brand new one.
Pinball would be greatly appreciated. My arthritis prevents me from playing my old Gameboy Color, so I've been missing out for quite awhile now.
@Yosher Think my cut-off would be Gen 4. Platinum remains as one of my all time favourite games, and I couldn't get into Black/White. They seemed almost too easy and like a step back to me.
@Yosher Pricing is definitely a bit steep for some of what should've been included originally. I'm gonna stick with Let's GO Eevee and the upcoming Mystery Dungeon remake for my Pokemon cravings.
@NintendoByNature Oh it's quite different from Sword/Shield. In the Mystery Dungeons games, you are the Pokemon. You assemble teams and explore dungeons. They're quite fun turn-based games actually.
Picking up Let's GO Eevee, and Lego DC Super Villains today so ill be hanging out around Gotham with the wife. We normally don't do too well with co-op in Lego games, but gonna give this one a whirl. Our last attempt was with Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy back on GameCube.
@MajorBritten Yeah I'm a bit skeptical as well. The nose and mouth look different sizes/shapes, even with the weird grimace or smile Mr. Stained Shirt is making.
@Heavyarms55 I have yet to pick up Stardew Valley though I have wanted to for quite awhile now. Harvest Moon took an ugly turn for the worst and don't think there's much chance in reviving it.
Animal Crossing and The Outer Worlds are my most anticipated Games for 2020. I'm also hoping we get some news on the XIII remake/remaster and it gets a 2020 release.
I think this holiday season is when I finally get my hands on Stardew Valley. Slept on this one for quite awhile now and I might as well push my current backlog further into the abyss.
@gaga64 In the beginning half it doesn't feel very distinct, but I feel it comes into its own in the later half when everywhere is open to you. I felt like I was a trainer and really connected with my character in the northern parts of the region, being out in the wildness training my team.
They're all definitely formulaic, and I've done the same where I'll be playing 2-3 different Pokemon games at once in the past. It does get hard remembering what you did in which game because they're so similar, although the journal thing in DPPt is a nice little recap that helps to a degree.
I've been playing Pokemon for 20 years now and I'm still having to look at the type advantages/disadvantages too. Majority of them I can remember, but then they went and messed everything up with the addition of Fairy and changing the type of some of the little buggers. Pokeathlon was neat to a degree, but the beauty contests I can't be bothered with.
I accidentally deleted my save data for Shield, so I'll be starting that back up again. Be making some more progress on the Nitro Bar in CTR, and I'm debating between Odyssey or BOTW.
Would be nice to see an announcement for a new Sonic game, not a racing game that wasn't really all that great, or a collaborative title at the Olympics.
I finally got Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 this past week, so I'll be diving into it for the most part as I only made it to The Raft last night. I want to finish building my Eeveelution team in Pokemon Shield, and I might get some more time with Yoshi's Crafted World.
Not sure if it was ever confirmed, but the first time I went to Satori Mountain in BOTW, I left flowers and my sword in the pool of water as tribute to Iwata.
@JasmineDragon I wouldn't mind a Super Mario Sunshine or a Wind Waker remake/remaster on the Switch. Two of my favourite games and I no longer have my 'Cube or Wii U.
I'm in support of their decision to not have all Pokemon in Sword & Shield. There's simply too many at this point to give time and attention to, plus this let's players focus on the Pokemon for this new region instead of using their Machamp from 5 generations ago. You have the opportunity to discover new favourites and build new teams instead of just using the same ones you've been using for years, as a lot of people do through transfers.
Gonna be gaming while watching RoosterTeeth's Extra Life 2019 24-hour livestream, so not sure what exactly I'll be playing. I do know I'm going after Divine Beast Rudania later this afternoon in BOTW. Might throw in some Super Mario Party.
Think I'm also gonna mess around in Steelport in SR3 if I get the chance. I'm about 50% done the game but I'm loving every minute of it.
I gotta go with Oshawott for this one, with Totodile being a close second. Wasn't a big fan of B&W/B&W2, nor of 2 outta 3 starters, but Oshawott is neat. Mainly like him for Samurott though.
Actually just beat the game a couple hours ago on PS4. While I have and had no plans to get it for Switch as the wait was too long for me, I definitely recommend it to those who are waiting for the Switch release. It's really a phenomenal game. Obsidian did a fantastic job with it. Already looking forward to my next build/playthrough. Got some backlog to take care of and some time to sink into the new CTR GP first.
I mean, Chimchar is the only way to go really. Granted, Sinnoh is my favourite region so I'm a bit biased, but nothing really compares. Sure, Tepig fuels my love for bacon, however it's evolutions look like monstrosities. Litten was neat. Only really liked Quilava from Cyndaquil's line.
Really hoping this ends up legit as it is a massive improvement over the nightmare before. I would prefer Sonic Boom style Sonic over that monstrosity.

Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Yosher I actually just checked the eShop and got it downloading. When they said later today, I figured I'd jump into Let's GO Eevee and check later.
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Yosher Eagerly waiting for that demo
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Krisi Maybe this is their way of gaging people's interest. If it sells beyond their expectations, maybe that'll pave the way for new entries.
Hopefully.
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Conductor The Sword/Shield expansions were apparently adding 200+ Pokemon. @Late was talking about the Red/Blue Rescue Team remakes.
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
I would've preferred a new Pokemon Ranger game, but I'm cool with Mystery Dungeon. Really digging the art style.

@Seacliff Yes, I am well aware of the change and the reasons why.

Re: Harvest Moon Publisher Natsume Working On "Exciting New Projects" For This Year And Beyond
I've been loyal to Harvest Moon for years, but I was hurt by the split a couple years back. Interesting to see what they have planned though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 14th)
@gaga64 Excellent choice on Pokemon game. Sinnoh is one of the best regions, in my opinion, and is my personal favourite.

Re: Pokémon Happy Meals Return To McDonald's In The UK Next January

Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Is The Best? Choose Your Favourite Water-Type Starter

Re: New Game-Changing Features Revealed For Pokémon Sword And Shield
I kinda dig the ability to access your box from anyway similar to the Let's GO games. I tend to use a revolving party, so that is helpful.
Re: Poll: Which Starter Pokémon Is The Best? Choose Your Favourite Fire-Type Starter
I mean, Chimchar is the only way to go really. Granted, Sinnoh is my favourite region so I'm a bit biased, but nothing really compares. Sure, Tepig fuels my love for bacon, however it's evolutions look like monstrosities. Litten was neat. Only really liked Quilava from Cyndaquil's line.
