I've only played 3 hours, yet, as the game hasn't hooked me so far, but I've been trying out most human characters, trying to get some of their costumes.

Is this really newsworthy? Sounds like one game of one publisher didn't sell that well. If it's SquareEnix, then it would even be less remarkable, as they whine about all their games selling less than they anticipated.

I'm very happy with the 3rd party games I bought in the first week (Cyberpunk, Hitman, Yakuza, Fantasy Life i), but now I'm completely broke.

It's a fantastic game with so much content, great visuals and fun gameplay. I've been getting a little burnt out after like 10 hours, but I'll surely go back to it at a slower pace.

@Johnny44 Looks great in handheld mode, too.

I kinda wish they bundled this game with the Switch 2 instead, as Mario Kart World really isn't doing it for me.

Didn't like it on the 3DS and kind of a weird choice for a remaster (if you can call it that).

@StyrofoamCup Wouldn't it be more fitting if it was a proc-rock band?

Didn't even bother with the protector that came with the official case, went with a glass protector (and managed to put it on without problems).

A swollen battery is not something that is linked to this being a new console. This can happen anytime that a battery is faulty. It only gets attention because the Switch 2 just got out.

@Duncanballs You can play the game without the cart after upgrading?

@OorWullie Even for people who played the two Zelda games already, these games are still just as good as they used to, so I wouldn't be surprised if many double dip (plus the ones that never played them before), so yeah, I also think that they will continue to sell well. They are still a must-play.

@somnambulance I was very foolish this week. Bought Hitman, Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0, Fantasy Life I... 😅

I've decided against buying Street Fighter 6 for now after playing the demo, but it's on my wishlist.

I would've preferred OLED mainly for the reason that the new HDR feature makes almost no difference on the LCD screen. Turned it off for now to save battery.

The review could mention that the included screen protector is only plastic, not glass.

I loved the first one on the GBC and also liked Lost in Blue on the DS, but this new direction for the series is simply not for me.

I was kinda looking forward to playing it with the English dub. 😅

I really appreciate how quickly the reviews are coming in today. Thanks!

This looks amazing!

ARMS was one of the defining early Switch games for me (next to BotW and Mario + Rabbids). Can't wait to get back into it. 😄

@Anakin Not If you don't have a GameCube. 😉

@Anakin You kinda invited those remarks. I haven't had a GameCube for 15+ years and playing this on the Switch 2 is much easier than jumping through all the hoops to get a GameCube running.

I'll definitely wait for the Switch 2 release. I hope it won't take long.

Would love to see all of them on the Switch 2. I bounced off Shenmue 3 multiple times on PC and PS4, but I would give it another try on the Switch 2 while commuting to work.

Fast RMX was so good, I loved playing it when I got my launch day Switch. Fast Fusion is a must-buy!

One of my favorite games I played through last year. I can see myself giving this another go on the Switch 2 (it ran great on the GPD Win 3, which is a PC handheld that is over 4 years old by now).

@N00BiSH I'll be there for ARMS.

Looking forward to playing Fantasy Life i on my Switch 2.

I went one step further and sold my Switch OLED (along with my Playstation Portal) to be able to afford the Switch 2. And I bought three used Switch games that will get Switch 2 upgrades to experience them a second time with better visuals (Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild and Pokémon Scarlet).
June can come!

A must-buy for me, the first one was amazing!

The violence paired with the at times awkward movement makes this look very weird to me. Like it doesn't take itself very seriously.

To me not the ones I played with friends are my favourite MK games. That would be MK64, but I don't like that one anymore. The one I loved the most was Mario Kart DS (for its singleplayer content).

As someone with quite a few digital Switch games I wonder how those will look on the Switch 2 with its higher resolution.
I remember when I got my PS5 and a 4k screen some games became unplayable to me, as the image was super blurry. Hope this isn't the case on the Switch 2.

@TrannyGirl Now that is as "Hidden Gem" as it gets. I imported that game when it finally released and loved almost everything about it (except for the encounter rate). Still haven't finished it, but I will definitely play it again.

Got 16 right, but had to take a break, so I scored pretty low.

I've managed to contribute two games this time.
I love that the homebrew scene is so active that you can make whole showcase with them. I almost wished that some games would even get more time to shine.

BotW was amazing, a true masterpiece. I couldn't really get into TotK, though.

I loved SaGa Frontier 2 back in the day. I still have the official guide, the artwork in it is stunning!
Hope they remaster that as well.

I had a Win 2 and loved it. The only negative was that it had a super loud fan. It sounded like a vacuum cleaner at times. 😅

@ArmenianJedi13 For me it was the opposite, the demo made me want this game. And I never played a musou game before.

Started the demo yesterday expecting to not like it, but I was having a great time. Sure, the fighting is kinda repetitive and most of the enemies are only cannon fodder, but it was very fluid, looked great and was not too demanding.
I... I guess I want to buy this now? 😅

@SwitchVogel This game is made with GB Studio, which is much easier to use as something like Unity or the Unreal engine. On the other hand there are a lot of limitations, though, as the Game Boy can't display many sprites at once, for example.
And concerning your comment on the niche audience of Game Boy games: it's not too uncommon to work years on a game for current hardware and have near 0 sales. At least the Game Boy market is not saturated these days. 😉

Funny, I'm also planning to make an rpg for the game boy (color), hopefully in a few years the market won't already be saturated. 😂

Played it on Android and loved it.

Even though I liked the sequel a lot more, this is an amazing price. Now I'm a little sad that I already know that this game is not for me...

Pickel is also the german word sometimes used for pickaxe and I assume the japanese word originated from that.
(nowadays the german Pickel usually means pimple, though ^^)

I'd personally prefer a collection of the first threw records, but as me and a friend used to sing Queen songs for hours, this still sounds like a good time.

Ikenfell mainly and maybe some Hades. And on PC Genshin Impact.

One of the only Silent Hill games I could actually play without pissing myself. Really liked the gameplay and loved the story.

Just got to the last boss of Hades for the second time. This time I'm gonna beat him!
