@Highlar I was just about to say the same thing, lol. I think I am the only one (other than you now) who actually think this looks like fun! I am willing to toss $15 for a fresh idea that kills some time.
I have a 400GB SD card so this doesn't upset me at all, however I do agree it would have prob better a better PR move to just release these digitally only.
Oh well, cannot wait to play all three of these collections for the first time!!
Animal Crossing is one of the most unique franchises ever. It might be the only series that I get excited for when they release a new screenshot of a sofa.
Seriously though with all of the issues going on in our world right now, I cannot think of a better time to get lost in a new AC game with all of my gaming buddies.
I am treading lightly on gaming before Animal Crossing takes over in 2 weeks. I am a few levels in to Sonic Forces (picked up for $10 on a recent sale) and not hating it. Also playing Star Wars Fallen Order for PS4 as well.
Man this is a busy week for me!
Getting One finger death punch 2, and the two new Picross clones (including the one that's like 3D Picross!!). Also I picked up that Toddler game for $4 as my boy will like that one
Man I hope I never ever need this service, however I am glad it's there just in case. I will say if I ever lose my system and use this I would NEVER take my Switch out of the house again lol
Honest question. If someone buys the game (not gifted to them from Atlus) after the game is released to the public and they stream the entire game, as long as the stream or video is non-monetized there is nothing that can technically be done right?
Sorry just thinking out loud, but it seems to me that as long as the streamer is not making money on it they can't be required to be censored.
Saw it with my son this morning.... While I certainly wouldn't say it's a great movie I will say we both really enjoyed it (especially him) and the mostly fun theater was laughing out loud quite a bit.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, however I am actually okay with these releases. I love DKC and Earthbound as much as anyone, however I have played them both multiple times. I have never even heard of 3 out of 4 of these releases which brings me a brand new experience. I wish we got drops more often so obscure games like this would be more welcome next to the classics everyone wants.
Finally fished Luigi's Mansion 3 on Monday. I really liked it overall but thought it dragged a bit in the final few hours. I then played The Bug Butcher which I picked up a while back on sale and absolutely LOVED it. I beat the story mode in a few hours but I can see my self coming back to it often between games.
Now I have moved on to Steamworld Quest and am about 10 chapters in. I cannot believe how much I am enjoying it so far! I am not the biggest card game guy, however really like what this one offers and hope to have it completed by early next week.
Spyro is 100% worth that price. I just finished all three a few months back and the trilogy is my 4th most played (in terms of hours) title I own. I really enjoyed all three, however I will say after beating each one I needed a break before starting the next one...
Nothing for me this week..... it's a been a long time since I chose that one. Secretly very happy as my back log is growing 2to1 over the games I am able to play.
I just finished the main campaign last night (all gems and boos) and to be honest I am sort of glad there is no more single player content. I felt the final 3-4 hours was really dragging and I was actually kind of happy to see it end. I certainly enjoyed my time with LM3, however I would not have gone back for new content as the main game was plenty for me.
That's too bad as it looks great from the screenshots. That being said, I have WAY too many shmups on my Switch and only so much time to dedicate to them. Passing one by isn't the end of the world
Will be buying this for my wife the moment it goes on sale.... I do wish they made the special edition a Switch Lite though as she would prefer one to a "full" version.
"Not actual gameplay footage shown" worries me just a bit, however what is here looks AMAZING! I hope this turns out to be great as this looks very unique on switch
Just bought this for the wife who was dying to have the journal. I fully intended on buying these digital for both of our switches, however this pushed her over the line to go physical.
Nothing for me this week, which is totally fine as I have purchased WAY WAY too many games for my backlog during the last few sales. I have a lot of work to do before Animal Crossing in March
I beat SRIV on Xbox a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I don't think I would revisit however. I would love for them to port Agents of Mayhem though as I have not given that one a go yet
I will most likely pick this up, however the price tag seems a bit steep for what it appears to offer. I will wishlist this one and pick it up when it drops to $10 or less.
Love seeing Cuphead on this list! I bought it on Xbox when it launched and could never get into it, however when I bought it on Switch this year I have put over 30 hours into it and beaten it 10+ times now. I hope Microsoft keeps putting their games on Switch in 2020.
Great Review! I have been waiting for more information on this one... I really want to play this one at some point, however my backlog feels like a souls-like every time I look at it. I will hold off for a nice sale as I have no doubt this game will click with me.
Overcooked is so perfect for what it is that I don't think we need knock offs at this point. Once I am done playing an OC game, I never think... "man I wish there was another one of these" lol.
The moment this drops to $10 or less I am in... There is just too much value in the Pinball FX games right now to pay $20 for one table regardless of how good it is.
I bought WAY too many games during the Black Friday sale last week so I have begun chipping away at some. I completed Splasher last night (picked up for $5) and really enjoyed it. Next up will either be Puzzle Quest or Pato Box depending on my mood tomorrow when I boot my Switch up.
I am so in the mood for a new 3D platformer, however $40 is just too stiff for me for this game. I will pick up when I see it for $20 or so down the road (def not a shortage of things to play in the meantime!).
I always look at these "builder simulator" games and wonder who would actually play these... then they make this one, which for the first time has me genuinely intrigued.
I will keep an eye out for a review whenever it does decide to drop!
After downloading the awful game "Bouncy Bob" for $.03 earlier this year I made a promise to myself that I would not buy crappy games just because they are dirt cheap. Bad is bad
I can't believe that the game I am most excited about left this year (other than Star Wars on PS4) is Mario and Sonic at the Olympics... I never bite on those games, however for some reason this one has really got me intrigued!
I am not personally a Pokemon guy, however I hope it is amazing for all those fans out there as I know how long everyone has been waiting for a console release for the series!
With Dragon Quest and Ys VIII still sitting in their respective cases still unplayed I am on a full RPG hiatus until further notice lol. This would be on the list after those though as I love this art style and have heard mostly good things about this game
This is awesome! Excited to add these to my roster when they drop.
Don't see why anyone who bought these earlier would be upset though... PS+ gives away games for "free" that I purchased earlier all the time and I never get anything (nor would I expect to).
Kind of bummed to hear this... This is one of those games I added to my wish list as it looked different and might be a good time waster if I ever come up for air from my insane backlog. After reading about it (great review BTW) I am confident it would just frustrate me to no end.
I was really hoping to see quest at 50% off as I really want to play it, however even $18.75 seems a bit high to me for it. When it drops (and given how often their games go on sale, it will) to something around $10-$12 I will certainly give it a go as I loved the other three games I played of theirs!
