Black is the correct answer, but I switch to white sometimes, just because I badly want some variety.

@SwitchVogel Curious to know what do you think about the music?
Because I see a lot of praise for it, and strangely you didn't mention it in the slightest.

There's a demo on the eShop, too.

"Thankfully, then, today's Famicom Detective Club launches are a pretty neat step in the right direction."

Oh, they aren't. There's no way I give them 60€ for a digital license. And I say this on top of my 200+ eShop purchases.
No way.

Unacceptable.

I'm actually interested, but there's no way I spend 60€ for a digital game. Sorry Nintendo.

To think a pizza costs 4-5€ in my city...

I just can't get enough.
Please consider playing with all the hints disabled. You'll likely need more time, but believe me, the satisfaction you'll obtain in return is HUGE.

I'm fine with "just more Picross", but without innovation we wouldn't have had Mega and Color Picross, and they are both great.

@geox30 Yeah, this. Bought lol

@Screen no, squares and numbers have no story to tell XD
The more recent ones offer more modes, they introduced the brilliant color picross starting from S3 iirc, for example. But overall, they're always the same. This stuff can be very addictive once it clicks, and it does at some point.

@MrGawain haha good point.
I'm currently on S5, I'm a purist at this point, playing all of them and completing absolutely everything with zero hints. I squeeze 40-50 hours from every entry.

3DS first 14 weeks of years 5, 6 and 7 combined: 1.794k

Switch year 5: 1.880k

Great to see Tom back! Unexpected!

And Kate Gray is fantastic.

I also hope we're having a lot of reviews from Vogel and O'Reilly, too.

@Balladeer Yeah, she's great.

Animal Crossing is a beast.

I just don't care about playing this game.

@Andee I'm a fan of E'sG too. Turns out Camelot developed the very first installment in 1997, before the series went to Clap Hanz.
Maybe they're returning to that less wacky style, now that Everybody's Golf looks more and more like a thing of the past?
Infact, this will be my firts Mario Golf ever, I've always ignored it and tbh I'm fine with more sober course design.

@KateGray I'm not saying these games don't deserve attention. They definitely do. I even did my part buying this one in the previous sale (was 30% too, iirc). Sorry for not having played it yet though, too many good games.

I mean, in a day when 600+ games go on a previously advertised sale, it's weird to se a news article about just this particular game, it's so random. It'd be preferable to have one that highlights a bunch of good games that received little attention before. Like: "10 games from the current eShop sale you need to buy", or the sort.

I hate to look harsh, but is it news worthy? Lol

@WiltonRoots Momotaro has already hit 2,5M days ago. With digital shipments included, that is. It's a 4M seller...

@Damo So this must imply that, while the PS4 has been an amazing success, you really need to compare it to when they achieved 160-170 millions units sold between PS3 and PSP combined?
Let's be honest here: no one is going to sell 250 millions units in a single generation of gaming consoles again. But both Sony and Nintendo have posted some higher profits than before, so you see units sold is not all. Heck, Nintendo is going to post a record breaking figure in 3 months, with as high profits as the years they used to sold 30 millions DS + 20 millions Wii.

"Because Switch is a combination of Nintendo's portable and home hardware, you really need to combine sales figures to get a true reflection of its success"

So, even if it beats the DS, you'd really need to combine DS sales with Wii to have a true reflection of its success?

Come on @Damo

Ring Fit is just mind boggling at this point.

Also, 2021 japanese Switch sales have a chance to surpass 2020. Crazy.

In just to say I'm really surprised this one didn't score a 10/10.

Game is a rare masterpiece and is frankly unbelievable.

@megakasp Exactly. I think they have already reached 80 millions (11,7 M between october and december), there's no way this number from that source can be correct. Otherwise it would be a huge disappointment.
So, with a 28 millions year, they just need to be 25% down in 2021 to reach the Wii by the end of the year.

@GrailUK it's because the Switch follows a completely different sales curve compared with the Wii. It has huge support coming in terms of software and will end up this calendar year at least with 26-27 millions units sold and a grand total of 80 millions.
It's pretty much a given at this point.
We should start looking at DS and PS2 lifetime sales, I think the Switch has a chance to become the best selling system ever.

Where's Dicey Dungeons, Nintendo???
It's great!

The Switch eShop is a beast!

@SwitchVogel I think it's Cavanagh, not Cavanaugh.

@Guest88 the Switch has been the best selling system in US for the last consecutive 23 months (21 in Uk), so no?
It's going to sell 85 millions by the end of its 4th year in the market. People really need to realize this thing is extremely successful.

"Of course, if digital sales were also included, that figure would be significantly higher."

Eh, game is already the best selling in Japan history with more than 8,5 millions units sold. Craziest thing it's just about to have its first holyday sales period.

@BlackenedHalo Well, they made it pretty clear that the game is not running on the Switch and you need an internet connection to be able to play it. Still, if you happen to have a decent connection it's available to play on the platform, hence the review.

The game is running well enough for me, judging from the trial, but there's absolutely no way I'd spend 40€. Hell, I don't even spend this money for digital games (I have a sort of psychological limit of max 20€ for them), let alone cloud games.

@OorWullie Yeah, this is a shame, actually. Oh NL, you were a reliable source, but now...

Man this looks great

@michael-the-great
But it is on the cartrigde. Otherwise, where is it?

I picked my copy today and opened it, nothing was inside the box. Anyway, two things proved disappointing: box is completely white inside, not even the usual artwork; game doesn't give any gold points.

"meaning that all sales of the game will be included in this data."

That's not entirely true. Famitsu doesn't track Nintendo Japan Store's sales and Ring Fit has sold a good amount of copies there. I think around 200k or more.

Ring Fit is a beast and is going to reach Wii Fit numbers in Japan. Crazy.

@echoplex
Actually, ACNH is well above 8 millions when you include digital sales.

Words are that Nintendo shipped new AC Switch bundles this week. Expect both to go up in next week's charts.

@Lordplops
Yeah. Hades is #1 on the italian eShop chart, before Mario.
There are more than 40 new releases just this week, at this point you need a masterpiece under your sleeve, can't just argue with people not buying Yes, Your Grace.

The thing has never left the dock since launch. I play every day and just use it like a charging station. The battery is still pretty strong.

I'm in for some multiplayer shenanigans with one of my sons. Honk! HONK!

@Collette If generic means gorgeous, ok. You shold see it in action with all the little details, this is top notch pixel art.

Funny how NL tells us to don't let this game fall under the radar, only to give it a mini review. Yeah

@Judgedean By now, Nintendo is in an almost "too good to be true" position with Nvidia on their side.
The Switch 2 is gonna be bonkers in 2023 (I guess).

@Jaxx420 It will outsell the Wii by a big margin. Sales curves for these systems are very, very different.

People telling others to not be surprised because other consoles are at the end of their cycles, need to explain why the Switch has been the best selling one for the last 20 consecutive months.

@SwitchVogel
I mostly agree, but I think the reasons are pretty clear by now. Switch is a great success, it's going towards 110 millions units sold, but more incredible than that are the INSANE software sales, with some games selling in the millions at full price and even more year on year. So it's not like they need to release a lot of games all at once, given they're getting a lot of third party stuff compared to previous consoles, too.
Besides that, a Switch game requires more resources and development time then the average 3DS game, I think you'd agree with that. Having said that, it's not true we're not getting the portable part of software output. We've got Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Clubhouse 51, Luigi and Fire Emblem on Switch, and I bet Style Boutique and Tomodachi Life are not too distant in the future.

Keep the hybrid thing and do whatever Nvidia tells them. Their DLSS technology will be very helpful in 2023, when I expect next Switch will release.

OST will be glorious

21/21

I care a lot about icons

@MS7000
60+ millions shipped by june 30th, very likely
