It's not good and it has nothing to do with it being a board game. The turnip mechanic is kind of interesting, but that's the only thing it has. Mario Party has minigames and star-stealing, but this is just "place your amiibo to roll a dice, then read the little blurb about doing laundry, lose or gain happiness accordingly." It's boring.

The people who are fine with key cards can go ahead and buy them. Some say it's a digital game you can sell, but that's not quite right. The benefits to a digital game is that you don't have to go to a retailer or order it online and wait for it to arrive, you can get it instantly AND you can play it conveniently from your system without changing cards. A key card has neither of these benefits. "But you can sell it/gift it/trade it!" yeah you could already do that with regular physical games and they didn't require GB of space. A key card has no function and no value.

For me, I was going to get it but now I'm not. I may get it one day digitally but only at a heavy discount (which it likely won't get).

Didn't SE want to sue some AI company very recently? They're anti AI if it affects them but pro AI if it saves them money.

These are all great. The Terra on the chocobo is my favourite. What a wonderful drawing.

I think it's a great game, I'm having a ton of fun. It's not as good as Legends Arceus though, imo.

Interesting. Legends Arceus is my favourite Pokemon game but I loved it because of it's setting, lore, and exploration. I've been on the fence about getting Z-A right away. On the other hand, other reviews are praising this game much more than this review.

I likely would have bought this if I didn't buy all three digitally already. I played 7, 8, and 9 for the first time just this year. But I won't buy them again just for the physical version.

I used to watch Days of our Lives when I was in junior high school. I didn't realize it was still going.

This was a good idea. Too bad there wasn't that many that had load data but I appreciate that you didn't fake it. The art you did find was really cool.

I tried to use the default controls but I kept pressing b when I wanted to jump, so I ended up switching jump and dig.

I won't be buying any game keys. I would have gotten Yakuza 0 day one but since it's game key only, I will maybe buy it digitally some day, but only after it goes on sale and after cheaper microSD express cards are available.

I don't expect a hot resell market for these game keys either. Does anyone know how much GameSpot will pay someone for their game key games right now? More than $5?

@Richb101 I bought Rune Factory GoA and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. I still don't know if Fantasy Life is better though.

I am also trying to decide if Rune Factory or Fantasy Life should be my first Switch 2 game. I was leaning towards Fantasy Life since RF5 was kinda not great but if RF:GoA is getting good reviews I'm back to square one.

I'm playing the same, I finished Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and now I'm playing Final Fantasy 8, but there are definitely some games on my backlog that I'm saving until June.

I only play games on Nintendo systems and I already cut back on buying new games before the price increases because I have less time and less disposable income. I still buy a game if I really want it and intend to play it, but I can no longer afford to buy a full price game and never play it like I used to. So I don’t expect my habits to change that much.

I hope so. I'm reluctant to play Remake if I won't be able to play the others in the trilogy.

I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I'm maybe about halfway through. I'm enjoying it a lot, but mostly I'm just eager to cross it off my backlog.

I don't think this is a bad game at all, but when I played it on the Wii U I just couldn't get into it. It's a bit much for me. But I hope more people get to play it now.

I do know this game (but I watched a playthrough of it)

Right now I'm leaning Totodile but I could very easily pick the others, even if I don't get spoiled about a possible new final evolution.
I would much rather have Poplio though.

A Good Gardener isn't shovelware. I played it on itch and while it's short, it's not just some garbage.

It's on my wishlist. I haven't played a Yakuza game even though my friend has highly recommended it. I was hoping to play to Yakuza 0 first, since everyone says to start with that one.

FFVI is still to this day one of my favourite games. I first laid eyes on the game when my cousin was playing it at my grandparents' house. I had never seen anything like it in a video game before! The character portraits in the menu were so beautiful, the overworld song (Terra's theme) was gorgeous, and I couldn't stop watching because I wanted to see what happened next. I was entranced by the opera. At the time, it really was mind blowing, although admittedly I hadn't played FFIV or any other RPG before.

It still holds up today, although a lot of the things that were made it special are common in video games now. I think FFVI pushed the limits of what a video game could be.

This could be nice, depending on what you can do, how much you can explore, how your life changes as you get older... but the trailer doesn't really sell me on the game.

I'm not playing Zelda because I've decided to clear more of my backlog before I buy any more new games. Maybe I'll get it as a Christmas gift.

I'm playing Mario Wonder this weekend.

I'm looking forward to this. I couldn't really get into RF5, it's not terrible but nothing really worth keeping my attention. I think "a bold new direction" is what Rune Factory needs. It's competing with tons of other farming games these days so the usual farming game with monsters and dungeons isn't the fresh new idea that Rune Factory 1 was.

I think the pixel remaster version is the best version of FFVI, although the GBA version does have its advantages too. If someone wants to play FFVI for the first time ever, get the pixel remaster version while it's on sale!

I haven't played DQ11 but I heard that the protag has an opportunity to stop a villain by speaking up but instead stands there and says nothing.

I've never been a fan of silent protagonists. I can forgive it in a game like Stardew Valley, but I feel we are past the days where it works in an RPG. Even Link only gets away with it because he's Link.

I played the original Princess Maker 2 a long time ago; I remember getting a not-great ending. My daughter didn't like me by the end, even though I did my best

It's a good game though, I'd like to play it again.

He'll always be Raymond Shields to me...

I'm glad for the new truer translation with Vivian. It was always a disappointment that the GameCube version was censored.

Before the Green Moon looks interesting.

Dancing with Draco was pretty janky in the original. I think the simple QT button presses are a nice way to still be interactive but not likely to lose and have to start over.

I remember first seeing the opera scene back in the 90s and it blew me away because I had never seen something like that in a video game before. The pixel remaster version takes care to do it justice. I'd recommend the pixel remaster version of the game over the original for several reasons and I'm a die hard fan of the original game.

I've listened to all the different language versions of Aria di Mezzo Carattere and I've decided that the Spanish version is my favourite (I can't understand spanish so the lyrics don't sound as cheezy as the english ones).

1. Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster
2. Final Fantasy VI GBA
3. Final Fantasy III (SNES)
4. My Life As King

Pokemon Legends Arceus doesn't count as a spin off?

Super Mario Bros 3 is my favourite, even though I think Super Mario World is the better game. SMB3 will always be the one I love most.

I'll get it if I can find it. I have every western released amiibo. The only amiibo I'm missing are the Japanese ones like Monster Hunter Stories and Boxboy.

Like many people, I won't buy a Switch 2 if it doesn't have backwards compatibility, at least not for a few years. I don't really need the system to be as powerful as the PS5 but it needs to play Switch cards and I have to be able to transfer over my digital purchases.

On one hand if a FFVI remake is ever announced I will be so so excited. On the other hand, FFVI is so beloved to me that it would need to be exactly how I personally envision it, that it might be better off never being made. It can't live up to my expectations. And the Pixel Remaster is great; everybody play that.

I'd like to see Rimworld on Switch

I played for ten minutes or so, not enough to really give it a chance, but it was buggy and lackluster as a first impression. Unless a bunch of friends want to play together I think I'd rather play something else.

I played 13 games for a total of 406 hours, which is not that much really. My top three games were:
Tears of the Kingdom: 142 hours
Pokemon Violet: 71 hours
Final Fantasy VI: 63 hours

I haven't played a single one of these (although I have played the original Oregon Trail a long time ago).

I still prefer physical games so I would not buy a digital-only Switch. Also I need the Switch 2 to have backwards compatibility so if it can't play physical Switch games then that's also a no from me.

The Switch 2 absolutely needs backwards compatibility. There would be no excuse not to include it.

People aren't suing because their feelings were hurt or that they're disappointed in something. They paid money for something, didn't get the thing they paid money for, and didn't get a refund.

I'd love to be able to preorder amiibo but it's usually not possible. I got lucky and managed to preorder Zelda, but Ganondorf (and Noah and Mio) are unavailable everywhere I check. It's so annoying.

I haven't played this yet although I plan to. I watched a streamer play it, and my first thought was "this looks like unfun chaos, just uncontrollable madness" but after watching a few races I think there really is fun to be had. I look forward to giving it a try.

I bought the physical game from PlayAsia and then I also bought FFVI digitally on its own.
