@WhiteTrashGuy Yes, apply screen protector as normal. Doesn't impact the screen or that little film at all. The caveat is to be careful in the event you have to replace said protector for any reason down the road

Yup! I didn’t like the thought of having to jump through hoops when playing AC or Splatoon with friends before. I also find it neat that we can all be playing different games and share the footage at the same time. Looks like an easy way to open conversations about games my friends or myself might not have known about or were on the fence for. I tend to buy a lot of lesser known games while most of my friends are near die-hard Nintendo first-party gamers (with some exceptions here and there of course), so this looks like a great means of letting them see for themselves something they may have otherwise slept on and vice versa.

Eagerly awaiting launch day! Managed to preorder in person at Gamestop, so get to pick up at midnight. Honestly, I’m probably more excited for Rune Factory coming out that day. It’s just a bonus to play it on new hardware

Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Splatoon. Holding my breath on Pokemon since I’m not sold on the new Legends yet and a bit more worried on the next mainline entry

Pro controller, spare joy cons, spare dock, camera, carrying case and sd express card

@ParasolStars Bravely was only available if preordering the download for some reason. Not sure why the retailers don’t have physical when the game even went live on the nintendo site for eshop preorder

@DTFaux Did the same thing and showed up at 6am. But line was definitely bugger than available stock before opening and still growing by the time I left

I had success at Gamestop in-store. Arrived at 6am (was taking no chances after the online fiasco), one person in line since 3 am (he couldn’t get anything online either). Line didn’t really start to grow until 9/9:30-ish. Store had a note on the door that they were allotted 12 standalone systems, 26 bundles. Joycons were in the system but not available for preorder. Got just about everything else I wanted thanks to trading two Lites to secure my preorder (Bundle, Pro Controller, Camera, Rune Factory, Bravely Default, Kimberly Amiibo). Gonna keep an eye out for joy cons since I like having spares

No, but seeing as they’ll open a waitlist on the 29th, I’m going to try my luck again. If it fails, I just enjoy the showcase and countdown to whenever launch is

@Anti-Matter There are actually two very muscular guys in the bachelor line up. Kai and Murasame are their names

Insert credit card slam gif Just take my money and give it to me now!

I still (beyond all reasonable hope) wish that YW4 would actually release along with the remasters made for the Switch. But I digress…

On another note, this is why Level 5 has fallen behind and probably led to the closure of the western offices… The company bites off so much more than they can feasibly chew and their expectations were always sky-high in what they expected profit wise from their products. They really did have a goldmine with the Yokai series, games and toys but not only did they not balance it well (oversaturation with spin-offs and going crazy on the medals/keys) but they didn’t really seem to have a set direction for it and let what success it did have go to their heads. And don’t get me started on how it was handled translation-wise here in the West. It felt… janky by comparison to its original version. I mean, I can understand not every pun name if the monsters would translate well, but they also did a major disservice by treating their target audience (kids) like idiots and dumbed down a lot of stuff with the localization which made it feel… uninteresting. YW4 did a lot of neat things with the story and the battle mechanics but the tragedy of the offices shuttering after it was announced for the West was just… ugh.

With that said, I really can’t wait to play Decapolice and Fantasy Life i

Hoping to hear more on:

Fashion Dreamer
Deca Police
Pokemon DLC
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code
Fantasy Life

Also hoping beyond hope that Yokai Watch 4 will finally be localized now that Level-5 seems to be making a return to the west.

I will be surprised if the store staff don’t make them move since reservation holders aren’t supposed to line up until an hour before their slot time. I remember seeing his freak out on Twitter when the morning reservation slots (10am-12pm) were announced Monday. I got a reservation for the midnight group, so the “flex” of being outside 72 hours before your time makes no sense to me when the point is you are already guaranteed entry at a specific time (in his case, not until 10am on Friday).

No shame, ordered the zelda 1TB for import to the US but will hit up Best Buy when the card goes live

CE, Amiibo, OLED, Pro Controller and Case preordered. This is taking me back to the Nintendo Switch launch day when I had pretty much everything preordered. The gamestop employees at the store I had for pickup couldn’t believe it and threw in some Switch themed promo stuff (bag, lanyard - probably meant for employees) as a thank you

Sprigatito for Violet, still debating on Sprigatito for Scarlet or if I’ll chance using Fuecoco

Don’t care if I’m at work, I’m gonna make sure I get a reservation. I’ll be in NYC anyway for Anime NYC that weekend, so it would be perfect

@UltimateOtaku91 It’s usually midnight each region’s time. I’ll be at Nintendo NY for whatever (if any) launch event yet 10am on Thursday the 17th, I can play the game’s digital copy I preordered under my Japanese eshop account because that will be midnight Japan time

Bayonetta 3 and P5R. Trying to get it in before Harvestella because I need to play that while I can before Scarlet and Violet come out and take the rest of my 2022

@rjejr No payment problem on my end but did get an update saying mine wasn’t delivering until the 3rd which bums me out. This is now why I double dip with both digital and physical. Had I kept the Gamestop order instead, i likely would’e gotten my limited edition Friday

I love both but picked Pokemon. Good thing ai didn’t have to choose when buying. Got my Splatoon OLED and just preordered the Pokemon OLED off Amazon UK

Definitely copping this for the collection 🤩

Disney Dreamlight Valley for me. Burned out a while ago on ACNH but still have a desire for creativity sims, so perhaps this will scratch that it h while I wait for Splatoon 3, Bayonetta 3 and more this fall/winter

No mention of the Disney Dreamlight Valley Early Access? That, Taiko no Tatsujin and Splatoon 3 are def my September must haves

@AlanaHagues - Shin Chan is missing from the check list

Note to @KateGray: you switched the meanings of Korai and Mirai

Given the clear theme of past (Koraidon) and future (Miraidon), the designs are well done. I’m having trouble deciding which game I’ll start first

Been playing since last Thursday after stumbling across a shop selling early. Game has been amazing. Perfect? Not by a long shot but the framrrate issues are pretty negligible as far as i’m concerned. Characters and story have been fun. Currently in the the first Summer and easily getting sidetracked with the farming and getting to know the bachelors/bachelorettes better. I foresee many hours going into this game (currently at 70+)

@Ghostipuffs Lol. Hey, I tried to leave stuff for other fans >.< I know the XSeed store turned off orders sometime last week after they tweeted about ensuring addresses were correct since they’ll be preparing to ship orders probably this week. But Amazon still has both standard and Earthmate editions up for grabs (same with Best Buy) so hopefully last minute parties interested can get their orders in for launch delivery.

@Half-ShellHero Lol. When I get into collecting, I do go all in. I only went overboard this time because, as I mentioned, I wanted to surprise two friends of mine whom are into similar games. But I am known to double or triple dip (for example, I got a Fire Emblem Three Houses LE from NA, Europe and Japan).

Day 1 on the 22nd! 4 copies of the limited edition ordered with two of them being surprise gifts to friends and one to stay sealed in my gaming collection. Practically chomping at the bit in anticipation

Preordered:
Triangle Strategy (looking for a way to import the CE without breaking the bank)
Rune Factory 5 CE
Kirby
Ikai
13 Sentinels
Crystar
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid
Food Girls 2
.hack//GU
Cruel King/Great Hero
Persona 4 Arena
Allisha
Ai: The Somnium Files
Neptunia x Senran Kagura

Since I could only pick one in the poll… I was most excited for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes as well as Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival, the Cuphead DLC, SD Gundam, Live A Live and, of course, Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I did immediately download the Triangle Strategy demo as well as GetsuFumaDen

I knew holding out would pay off. Will buy day 1!

@Psycho-Werekitsune I received my code the morning of release.

As a veterinary assistant, I had to cop this day 1! Love it!

There should be an option for both because I got each one

I have a White OLED preordered via Gamestop but will be in NYC at launch so looking to get the Red/Blue variant from Nintendo NYC. They tweeted about opening a reservation system for launch day to purchase the consoles, metroid dread and the amiibo pack between 8am-11am before the store opens to the general public at 11am. Gonna try my luck to get a reservation

@IronMan30 I’m currently playing it and, while certainly a little rough frame rate wise at times, it runs well enough that I don’t find it overly jarring.

@nessisonett Fair! In the meantime, I’ll enjoy my Japanese copy but it’s probably going to be closer to the Western launch when they patch in the same-sex relationships for the Japanese version

@nessisonett Yeah, Xseed’s localization blog says they pushed for the option even before actual localization work began and coded proper pronoun choices ahead of time once work started. Then, when they got the affirmative that it would be implemented, they had the jump start on having NPCs respond accordingly. So happy they made the efforts to see it implemented into the game. Just wish it wasn’t a 6 month wait for it…

Sad it’s not both games but a part of me suspects they didn’t do the first game because of the PoTC DLC what with all the court stuff between Depp and Heard

I want some sort of update on RF5. Currently playing the Japanese version but eager for it to release so I can gift copies to my kids and a couple friends

Looking forward to the release. I’ll be at New York Comic Con that weekend, so going to hit up the Nintendo Store Thursday night if they do a midnight launch (or that Friday morning if they don’t) and will pick up Metroid as well (usually Nintendo Store is a good place to nab collector’s editions on launch day as they’re usually better supplied day 1)

Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for me. Already on case 5 of the first game. Depending on progress, I might also slip in some time with Monster Hunter Stories 2 as well.

@Lemmy_the_Koopa Same here. Been playing almost nonstop since starting

TGAA is preloaded onto my switch but still buying physical and even importing the e-capcom limited edition that has both games physically.

Getting both. Will spare my PC of having to download games that I’ve always wanted to play but never pulled the trigger for
