I pre-ordered the Switch 1 version at a discount 8 years ago. It's probably the longest preorder I have ever had.

@Uncle_Franklin Not really, but there was a Final Fantasy Chocobo children's book put out last year-ish. Being able to share my hobbies with my young kids in a format they like is rare enough, that I really jump on the opportunities when I see it.

@SuperBro64 There's a brand new Epilogue to the Galaxy 1 storybook they added after you beat the game. At the very least I don't remember Rosalina with a guitar in the original version.

After they announced it, I put in a preorder. I'm a sucker for kids books based off of games. Also I just loved it in Galaxy anyway.

Oh no! Now I won't be able to get online during that time! Thanks Nintendo! /s

I think the problem with amiibo Festival is that it's more Board Game, than Video Game. There's hardly any interactivity available, but if you're not expecting Mario Party, it's not bad. It's more like Life or Monopoly in that regards.

While I don't think it'll win against the other Giants here. Pipistrello is amazing and definitely one of my favorite titles to come out this year.

I'll have to download it, but last time I downloaded the Mario app, I messed up some settings when changing my regions.

I always pick the Grass starter in the main games. But I really didn't want to use Chikorita again, since Meganium is just meh all around. So I went with Totodile instead.

I'm getting close to 550 physical Switch Games. Most not at full price, mind you, but not typically used. I've been collecting since the switch came out, which puts me at about 68 games a year and a little over 5 games a month. Now that I type this all out, I realize I will probably never be able to complete my backlog. But the only Switch 2 games I've bought have been Mario Kart World and Bananza.

I usually never vote in these polls because I haven't finished the game when they're posted. I said 8/10, because ultimately it's more of the amazing fun that the original was, but a much shorter and more compact experience. 12 full levels, plus a boss, and a new boss rush is well worth the price. I only wish they added new challenge levels for the new Mouthful modes.

To all the naysayers out there, Bubsy 1 was actually decent. The rest were dumpster fires, but the first one had a lot of charm. Also played through the game quite a bit with my grandparents growing up, so I'll be picking this up.

Here's the deal. In a game series where Villains and/or heroes have gone back in time to team up with their baby versions, and regularly bring those said baby versions to play sports or race karts, I don't think time line placement matters too much. At this point, I'm convinced that the Mario characters are 4th dimensional beings that can freely move through time at will.

I love my Switch 2, but I have so little excitement for the games coming out for it. Apart from the Switch 2 only games, I just plan to buy the Switch 1 versions and upgrade them if possible.

No, since my wife and I play the GP together. We are always swapping first and second, unless something unexpected happens and one of use dominates.

Oh wow. I'll probably have to find me a copy then, Key Card or not. I love the concept of Gameshare. I would have bought Split Fiction if it was a key card and not a code in box.

Aw sweet! I have so many fond memories of the first game. The rest were awful, but the first was an incredibly mediocre experience that I got to enjoy with my grandparents. I'll have to pick this up.

I never would. Plus with the advent of Gameshare, old Switches can be great second screens.

A buddy of mine was 30,000 feet in the air when pre-orders dropped, so I had to pick up two. I don't know how scalpers do this, cause it was exhausting trying to get those two orders in. One at Target and one at Walmart.

I personally can't wait for Project Justice. I was huge into Rival Schools back in the day.

I would point out that you have a Silksong image for Fortnite, but I think it's better like this.

That news is so sad. There's been so much variety and number of games released on Switch, that I keep buying more (I have a problem). Currently I'm sitting at right under 500 physical Switch games. With these numbers I can understand why Sony would feel comfortable releasing a discless PS5.

@Mrkittyhead I have not played it yet, but I'm going to say probably. One Piece games have a habit of bringing back old characters, but those might still be spoilers for you.

Chrono Trigger is the perfect length. It's deceptively short, as you feel like it's so much longer than what you played it for. That's not to say it's boring, but rather it packs so much content in a short time frame that you never have a chance to get bored.

Edit: Shout out to Shadow of the Colossus for similar pacing.

Calling it now. Bravely Fourth or Bravely Second 2.

It's such a shame the physical of Sol Cresta was blocked for import. I would have bought it several points through the year.

Oh dang! I hate to see this. I bought this on sale last year and loved the gameplay and story mode. I was waiting for a chapter 2 to drop.

Oh! So that's who Miyamoto got that quote from.

Apart from the Light roots, I've done everything but beat the final boss (except all the Koroks, cause I ain't doing that). I was beginning to think I was just taking an abnormally long time, since I've had it since launch, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't beaten it.

I went to explore it after I had explored all the rest of the sky. I figured that I would find some way of clearing the clouds in there. After accidentally falling off a ledge I glided towards a shrine sensor and then cleared the unlockable quest. It was kind sad to have already completed it when the story naturally prompted it.

There's like an apple orchard near a shrine on Satori Mountain I visit occasionally (generally passing through) and find several golden apples whenever I do. Not entirely sure how rare it is.

Preordered it from BestBuy for effectively $40.

I've already taken advantage of this deal extensively. I've preordered several game coming out, and it combines with other game sales. I have a problem buying games, but a permanent 33% off is nothing to scoff at (especially when I was going to buy some of them at full price).

I haven't just heard of Metal Combat, I owned Metal Combat. I got to the final boss, which I believe was fought inside Pluto, but I never beat it. It was an amazing game, if a little on the harder side.

Even though I loved the New series and still play the with the family, I'm loving the art direction in this game. It's these little things that make the art look amazing. My personal favorite touch from the trails was Mario grabbing his hat after he ran into a pipe.

@HammerKirby I prefer the original to the DX version, not only because it was the first Zelda game I bought, but also because there's an easy to exploit screen warp glitch only present in the original. DX added a fair bit of content though, so I couldn't blame anyone for choosing that or the remake. Every single version is amazing.

If I'm not mistaken, there are only three toilets ever shown in Zelda. The three in question are Skyward Sword, Majora's Mask, and Oracle of Ages. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Eventide Island is it for me. I arrived there closer to the start of my journey, but having to start over from scratch again was an amazing experience.

I don't remember if there's a quest or not, but the labyrinths were great fun too.

I absolutely loved these games on the 3DS. It's so charming.

9 months from now, they should have a Maushold Tera Raid.

Mirna is obviously number one, buy I voted for Linebeck. He deserves more love than what was shown here today.

Unova. Pokemon Legends: Assassin's Creed 3.

I enjoy the unexpected Pokemon picks like this, even if I personally don't play Unite.

I've enjoyed their smaller games. Giga Wrecker Alt and Little Town Hero were interesting mechanic wise. But I absolutely loved Harmoknight on the 3DS.

Durability encouraged creativity and strategy in combat. When you started you didn't have the weapons to spare. Eventually you'd have plenty of weapons, but when you came to an enemy camp, you'd want to minimize the deterioration of the good weapons you had collected. If weapons had no durability, you would probably just run in swinging.

Also I said the ability to repair weapons, but if we got other weapons that didn't break, that mimicked the items of the other games (hookshot etc) I would be down for that. I mean I always kept a leaf on me, just because the never broke unless you hit something with it and it had interesting applications.

22/24 I wish Chrono Trigger was on the Switch. I'd even settle for an HD 2D remake.

The Pawmi line was a surprise contender for my favorite Pokemon this generation, so I'm tempted to get that.

@Exerion76 Oh good! That piques my interest in this game. There's a lot of good indie games out there, but I'm tired of Roguelite/likes. I have a busy schedule, so having to redo the game over and over again just doesn't sit well for me in most games. Some games are really good with it though.

Honestly 7-8 seems like a good range for it. I haven't gotten far, but it's been the most fun I've had with a mainline title in a while, so I gave it an 8.

I only had Nintendo Land for the first month or so of the Wii U's life. It was such a good game. The multiplayer games were great, but even the single player games had some replayability. The Donkey Kong level was the best.

After that probably Batman. New Super Mario Bros U was really good too.
