@Moonlessky It can aid you in battle with attacks (a single target "mounted attack," a "snort" that hits all enemies, and a special "horseplay" attack that changes depending on character class), as well as some additional moves that boost healing while in the safe spot. Your characters can also randomly ride it during level transitions/exploration to speed up those sections.

These extra moves are unlocked by relationship level, in a similar fashion to the rest of your party members.

It used to be such a big part of buying a new game for me.

Way back when, before buying games became so easy online (shakes walking stick), the manual was something to read on the way home with my brand new purchase (or while the game took 10 minutes to load/install [shakes walking stick again]).

I think it's hilarious, but isn't Nintendo trying to stop brands advertising in AC?

I understand why they made it that way (Sony do a similar thing with a PSN icon on the PS4 top level menu), but I don't like the inconsistency.

The rest of the update is pretty cool though, especially having easier access to screenshots/videos without pulling out the memory card (or using social media).

@RickD Ah, cool

@RickD Do you not wash it regularly?

I paid a similar price (including delivery) for a rather plain Destiny 2 mask. The Pokémon ones seem to be of a higher quality (and much more vibrant)... And I mean, who doesn't want a Squirtle on their face? Wait, that sounded so wrong.

I missed it on the Wii U, so I'm looking forward to the Switch port.

@noswitchbutidc I served in the 16-bit Console Wars, a thumbs down is minor in comparison 😅

Honestly, don't worry about it. And yes, I'm on Discord: Sonic Alpha#4964

@noswitchbutidc That's true, tone generally gets lost on the conversion to digital. I'll make sure to add tags in the future 👍

@noswitchbutidc Thanks, I will. Enjoy another dose of sarcasm to go along with your apparent butt hurt 😂

Chuckles. He's not wrong.

EDIT: /Sarcasm

Austin John Plays also jumped off at the deep end about this yesterday evening, in a now unlisted vid. However, I'm pretty sure it just means that there will be an in-game link to the store to purchase NSO. 🙄

When I got to that part in the game, it broke me, tbh. It pretty much came from nowhere.

The original text had a much deeper impact/meaning to both the player and Bernadetta's character, imo. It goes a long way to explaining why she is the scared introverted mess that she is.

Sure, the same message is conveyed... ish. However, I feel it lessens exactly what the character had been through, and the progress she makes in overcoming those past experiences. It was a "you can get through it too" moment, for me at least.

But, that's just my opinion, and I can see why it was changed.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and finishing up on Dragon Quest Builders 2.

Physical for me. If it's an option, I always go for a physical release.

Bit of a stretch there 😂

Wargroove for me, along with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (which I'm chipping away at slowly).

Xenoblade Chronicles X for me. Like the Twilight Princess remaster, it was something I missed on Wii U. I wouldn't mind XC1 as well, though I know that's been remastered on the New 3DS.

As sad as it sounds, I'm actually a little tempted by this, lol. I did enjoy Wii Fit U too though...

Cool

The game looks interesting. Good luck to all those who entered.

I have that model, and it doesn't charge my Switch :/

Looks promising, I need more TBS in my life. This and Wargroove are definitely things I'm looking forward to

The Megadrive/Genesis one is a bit rubbish. But then, the original and the 6 button variant were both understated compared to the competition.

The GC version though... Unf.

@CB85 No worries. Looking forward for the arrival of my copy

The only reason it's not called Harvest Moon outside of Japan, is because the rights to the name belong to a different company (who are now developing their own HM games). It's stupid, and confusing.

@CB85 Yep.

Story of Seasons for me, though I bought the cart as it was £20 cheaper than the download. Everything being good, it should arrive before the actual UK release

@Gold_Ranger Heh, I was going to say the same thing...

I'm really surprised that Splatoon is on that list. Not because it's bad (far from it), but because it's only been out for a week.

@Bass_X0 I'm tempted by Harvest Moon too

Edit: Ugh, not sure why the site decided to reply to the wrong comment, I was actually replying to @luke88 :/

Sorry @Bass_X0

£8 for 12 jewels, or £7 for Pokémon Link: Battle.

I know which one gives a greater value for money, and it's not freemium. While Shuffle adds a few new features, they're essentially the same game.

I found myself dangerously close to paying for jewels, just so I could play on (as the core game is quite fun). With Battle, I can, lol.

I would have picked up Kirby instantly, if it had been discounted for the first week. But I think I'll hold off just a little longer.

I'll be picking it up tomorrow, despite not having a Wiimote or nunchuck to play it with (they're next on my shopping list, lol).

I quite liked those

Another title to add to the ever expanding list of games I want to buy.

Minish Cap for me, one of the few Zelda games I don't actually own (though I have played it).
