Re: Story Of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town Gets Western Release And New Info

Taya

I don't think this looks bad but it's definitely a handheld Harvest Moon, similar to the DS and 3DS games. I feel like we're all ready for a console Harvest Moon. The last one was Animal Parade for Wii (which is still my favourite HM to this day) and I want to see something more like that. This is playing it safe to be sure.

I hope there is a new one in the making as well.

Re: Natsume Announces Harvest Moon: Mad Dash For Nintendo Switch

I hope Natume puts some effort into a brand new HM experience. Nobody is going to buy a boring farming mobile game when Stardew Valley exists and Rune Factory is coming. They can even look to My Time at Portia for some inspiration.

And I know the Story of Seasons games are the "real" Harvest Moon and are much more polished than the Natsume ones but Story of Seasons is getting pretty stale as well.

Re: Video: 13 Amazing New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In The Month Of April

I was going to get Dragonball Heroes World Mission but I’ve decided to wait on that one and pick it up some time in the future. I’m definitely getting My Time at Portia and Dragon’s Dogma and I’ll most likely get Labo VR. I may import the physical version of Phoenix Wright but maybe not because I already own those games on the DS. Lots of games in April!

Re: Nintendo Download: 7th February (North America)

I prepurchased The Stillness of the Wind based entirely on the eshop description and screenshots. It looks like an artsy game but I hope it's interesting to play too. In other words I hope it's fun to take care of your backyard farm and it isn't just story.

Re: Reminder: The Wii Shop Channel Closes This Month, Here's What That Means For You

Taya

I would suggest everyone playtest their Wii games before the shop goes down. I transferred everything over to my Wii U when I first got the Wii U but only my NES and SNES games worked when I tested them a week ago. N64, TurboGrafx, and WiiWare gave an error. I had to delete them and redownload them (for free) from the eShop. It was a huge hassle but they work now.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November (North America)

I'm getting Civ 6 (probably physical) and Pokemon Let's Go is being sent via amazon.

I played Civ 2 or Civ 3 with a friend years ago but I've never owned a Civilization game myself. I think it's perfect for Switch. I can't wait to waste hours and hours on it.

Re: Feature: The Bloodthirsty History Of Monster Hunter, From PlayStation To Switch

Taya

Technically my first Monster Hunter was MH Tri which I picked up for $20 at WalMart. I didn't even play it long enough to see Great Jaggi. I'm glad I decided to get MH3U for the Wii U because MH is one of my favourite series'.

MH World is the best one... except MHGU has so much more content that I think if I could one play one MH game for the rest of time, I would go with MHGU.

Re: Review: MUSYNX (Switch)

Taya

I bought this because I heard it was a straight forward rhythm game with a great soundtrack, but I was hugely disappointed. I ended up trading it to someone for a different game. If you have Voez, Musynx is a big step down.

Re: Natsume's Hiro Maekawa Talks Harvest Moon, Switch And Making "Everyone Happy"

Taya

Story of Seasons are definitely better games but I find myself bored by them. The format has gotten stale, the characters are bland. Harvest Moon: Lost Valley wasn't great but it was different, something new. I haven't played Skytree Village or the newest Story of Seasons though.

Stardew Valley got it right. It had the right amount of complexity, the right amount of story and character interaction, the right amount of crafting and customization, and it even looked nice despite being a 2D game.

Re: Review: Pure Chess (Wii U eShop)

Taya

I bought this and I agree that it's a great single player game. I'm pretty bad at chess so I'm enjoying playing against the computer. I likely won't bother with online.

Re: Waiting For Wii U To Drop In Price? Not Going To Happen, Says Nintendo

Taya

The Wii U doesn't need a price cut. It's $100 cheaper than the PS4 ($200 cheaper than the XBone), has free online, supports used games, complete backwards compatibility with the Wii (including wii-ware and virtual console titles), no DRM, and some cool features like miiverse and netflix etc. It also has (or will have) great games that are guaranteed not to appear on other systems.

The Wii U just needs more games. I know a lot of people who are getting a Wii U, but they don't want one right now because there's not a lot of games for it. Personally I already have six retail Wii U games, plus a bunch of downloadable ones.
