It'd be cool if they released a DLC pack or sequel or something. My wife is really far in the game is ready for something new. I'm not as far but ya I can see where I'm ready for some change up too.

We really need more demos. A blanket list of a ton of what appears to be shovelware games I've never heard of every week just doesn't catch my interest. I'm sure there are gems in there, but how many people can be asked to research each and every individual one?

On the other hand, I've bought several games because of their demos.

@Anti-Matter i need modern home DDR options. Stupidly sold my Cobalt Fluxes, modded PS2, and US and imported JP games for cheap a few years ago when I was living in an apartment and had to make space. /regret

@KimBread @1UP_MARIO This graph is by year. The start of this graph was 2000, 4 years after N64's release. If we moved the chart further left, it would ge a huge blob, but as this graph stands, it is showing the tail end of its life span.

@CShell93 thanks

So what transfers exactly from the first game's save?

@Friendly i know it has been a bit but I finally tried it. 200MB internet, hard wired to switch. it was functional but I couldn't help but notice unpleasant stuttering quite a bit, especially when the camera was moving. I think I'll be passing on cloud gaming for a while.

I'd like to try a demo just to see how it runs. I have 200mb internet and my switch is connected physically to my network when docked so I'd imagine pretty well.

That being said, as a multiplatform owner, the main reason to get multiplat games for the switch is portability. Obviously a cloud game wouldn't work on the go, so there's no reason for me to get the Switch version when I can play it locally in better quality.

I guess this type of thing is aimed at folks who only have a Switch though.

Dang already have Forces and Mania. I would have probably bitten at a Monkeyball/Racing combo.

I'm sure games like Ring Fit and Fitness Boxing are great handheld experiences.

I've done Mario Party and SSBU tabletop before 3 player....it worked I guess, certainly wasn't a great experience.

It kind of feels like Nintendo abandoned Amiibos. I did get the No2 Cloud from Japan a couple years ago though. Sitting on my shelf alongside the other amiibos I've picked up.

@Volmun oh dang ya I'd def be interested in his amiibo. Didn't even occur to me but you're right.

Shindou 振動 just means vibrate. Rumble Pak in Japan is 振動パック (shindou pakku).

The last vowel in Toukyou (tokyo) and Shindou are same, so the othe guess you didn't pick is correct.

Already against Bethesda due to their habbit of continuously releasing games with huge gamebreaking bugs and not caring because it sells anyway.

I have all platforms so I will happily continue not buying their games on my Xbox, too.

Here's hoping Sunshine will support Gamecube controllers with the adapter (with analog shoulder buttons, same mapping, etc, not thegeneric input everything uses)

From experience for doing it with Tropical Freeze (I played it after DKCR when I was burning my backlog), it was $60 on Switch, but Walmart had the digital code for $18 on Wii U so I followed the savings.

Digital codes still work and will be around for a bit.

Here's Walmart and Amazon links for digital codes for $20 for the Wii U version of Pikmin 3. I already own it but for those still wanting it...

I see joycons get updated, but do other controllers ever get updated? (Pro, NES, SNES)

This is shovel ware to the T. Anyone miss the days when Nintendo actually gave a ***** what was released on their system?

@stuie1234 You can closely examine them to zoom in and then it is pretty clear.

Oh great yet another port from Wii U. Their big releases often being ports from Wii U is why my Switch library is still small. I am not rebuying this stuff, especially at $60.

At some point, everyone that wants one will have one and no need to buy one.

wtf I never knew this and I originally played it on the NES.

I have 2 Fast 4 Gnomz on 3DS and enjoyed it, for 99c I'll upgrade to the Switch version (Geki Yaba). idk about the rest though.

I don't really understand the complaints with the one island per system. This has ALWAYS been the case, the only one you could argue it wasn't was Gamecube but that was only because it was based on memory cards so you swapped out memory cards if you wanted a different island. This shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone.

As a "second resident" I don't even feel that restricted. My wife is the primary resident and ya she decides more things, but I can still collect, donate, visit other islands, build my house, landscape and design the island. As far as I can tell the only thing my wife can do that I can't is decide where new buildings go. If you're in the same household you should be able to talk to each other anyway.

I will say the multiplayer simultaneous needs work, though. The fact that the followers can't access their own inventory, the tool wheel, or pick things up into their own inventory is dumb.

The idea seems pretty cool, but the reviews are just horrendous....that being said, I've had demos change my mind before if there will be one.

I haven't picked up any of the Wii U to Switch ports. Actually I played BotW on Wii U because I hadn't felt the need for a switch yet due to lack of new games that I already owned (yall remember the early port only times). Even after I got a Switch, I got Wii U Tropical Freeze digital via Walmart (was delisted but codes still worked) because it was less than $20 vs Switch version's $60.

That being said, if this game came out with online support and some other features I might pick it up on a sale. I did really enjoy it but the only thing I didn't get is the beat all levels with all characters since I didn't feel like playing through it 5 times.

I do wish there was a way to put the SP games in a separate folder or like sub it under the main game. It adds to the clutter. I throw them at the bottom for now.

And I have both because I changed my region, grabbed Famicom, then changed back. Then did the same thing for Super Famicom when it was released. Was pretty easy and now they're tied to my same account.

Worth asking, is Europe or anywhere else worth swapping to to grab or is it same as US?

@GinHunter ah thanks for the clarification

Isn't tanukichi Tom Nook? that's what my wife who plays it in Japanese calls him.

Dammit Uniqlo, release these in the US please.

EDIT: Nevermind, they are! Just not until May.

@Anti-Matter Sure did!

Better couch multiplayer. The fact that the follower's pickups go to recycle is dumb. Also no inventory access or the tool select circle, I've missed so many bugs hitting X over and over to get my tool.

@KingBowser86 @TenEighty I tried it on my Chromebook and it worked without any problems. shrug

@KingBowser86 I'm on a windows pc tried chrome and edge.

When I go to the site and click "log in" on that add, it just pops up the same page in a new tab, not having any success, anyone know what's up?

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

@ReaderRagfish Considering the audience, nah.

Anyway, it isn't like last year's version was in a different scenario, and Ubisoft still found it worthwhile to release another game.

I picked this up on preorder after finishing NMH 1 & 2 really not too long ago. I didn't start it until recently because I am moving and know I won't have a TV for a while, so I figured it'd be an excellent opportunity to use the portability of my Switch. I did start it on my TV before my movers came, but now it is all handheld/tabletop for a while, minus possibly hooking it up to hotel TVs (kept the cradle). Ironically, I haven't finished the first level because I've been busy with packing and cleaning, but I have enjoyed what I played so far. Makes me want NMH3, though.

Glad more people will be able to enjoy it, but I think since Wii is a couple generations back and was kind of a hidden gem, a lot of people won't be turned onto it since they wouldn't know the main game. I think it'd be real neat if they made a current gen port/remake for the same platforms that have TSA.

Dammit, Florida Man.

Old one was better. Uglier? Sure. But it needs to be large and annoying so customers know they can't just pop it in and play. Plus it kind of craps on the publishers that do it. Imagine being on a trip or moving or something which is why you don't have internet or a TV (so you use a Switch), going and buying a game, and then realizing you can't play it.

I don't understand why you would buy a physical game if you gotta download it anyway, doesn't it defeat the purpose?

Also how big is This War of Mine? I played it on my PS4, it doesn't take much space on there iirc, why the download?

I am actually about the option to not have my Switch turn on when disconnecting it from power. That was dumb.

@LunarFlame17 I play portable consoles on planes though. not always 12 hours of course but this is one I wanted to play on a plane. I know now but if I didn't I'd have been hosed.

@CoastersPaul well if it is a max, you will have bigger problems I guess.

@LunarFlame17 Sure just Google it, unless you're using it portable somewhere without internet, such as 30k feet in the air or other situations you might want to play a game but don't have internet access at that exact moment. then you're stuck and finding out 1 hour into a 12 hour flight your plan to kill time on the flight is ruined is the worst.

@Paulywally Wow, that's amazing. Some of the third party vendors on there are a bit shady, all I can say is check the seller rating or look for anything shipped Prime.

@Paulywally Is that Mexico Amazon? Never had an issue with US Amazon. Usually in this case anyway, they wouldn't have to return the DVD.

Balloon hunt is fun, or would be if they fixed the glitcher problems. Since all those out of bound balloons ruin it for me I won't be going back in.

Makes sense, even Sony abandoned the Vita. They are ending ps plus releases in March. The releases are slow and very niche. I enjoy both my Vita and PSTV and will keep them around for a while but I do wish there was more support. My PSTV is primarily a PS4 remote play machine to stream my PS4 to my bedroom and Vita keeps some usage when I fly (fairly frequently 3-12 hr flights).

That being said I also have a Switch that goes on those same flights, I might buy a 2nd dock but they are so pricey, maybe black Friday? If Switch got Netflix support that would be a solid push for a second dock since I otherwise only have a PS3 in that room to use Netflix I don't otherwise use.

Played it on my Vita. Once. I think it was free.

I think a lot of y'all are missing the point. When the console is docked the Pro Controller already has a regular D-pad. If you want to play handheld the pro controller isn't an option, so if you still want a regular d-pad that is where this steps in. So someone playing a d-pad heavy game would use this in handheld and pro controller while docked.

I already do this (with the included joycons). My joycons rarely disconnect from the console. I just bust out my pro controller while docked.
