It's just too big, man. Hoping it's a fake 🤞

Arven and Mabosstiff series incoming

These are pretty dope, but I use wall calendars

Right on. I just upgraded to a 1TB 200 speed card so if true, whatever's next will be able to use it to its fullest extent.

I don't believe the Dorito Pope likes Nintendo all that much, and so there's rarely anything substantial that I care about.

Day one, can't wait!

I got a few things on the go right now. Animal Crossing, both New Horizons and the GameCube one, Donkey Kong Land 3, F-Zero 99 again, Pokémon Violet to shiny hunt the Wooper outbreaks, and Dragon Quest 3. Mario & Luigi is finally finished so now I can move on with my life 😂

I don't really remember what all came out this year, and I don't wanna pore through that big list. I guess Zelda was pretty good? Not mind blowing or anything but it was enjoyable.

Dude that's one of the best ones, I've played it multiple times before and I would love to play it again on the Switch

I'm hoping we'll get it at some point. Though there's a good chance I'll find the gameplay unpalatable to my current soft tastes and drop it like I did with Banjo Tooie. I can't believe I 100%'d Banjo back then, because man is it ever a slog now.

I doubt Microsoft would commit to keeping a handheld alive, and they'd just make it a Game Pass machine which needs to be always online, which kind of defeats the purpose. I'd be interested in a new PSP type thing from Sony in order to actually play through the meaty JRPGs I enjoy, but they would need to support it and forgo expensive proprietary storage options.

Aha just as I thought! Japan got the GBC version, so that's the one I'll be playing.

Absolutely not. What they've been doing in recent months is something like a Twitter Direct, which is close enough.

I dropped it pretty quick after it came out originally and I don't really remember how it plays. I'll check out a gameplay video and decide if I want to buy this full one.

"I thought I heard a scream" hahahaha

Mario & Luigi mostly. I've finally reached the endgame, so I'm hoping to have it cleared out tonight. The game was pretty decent but it really did overstay its welcome. I'm beating it just out of sunk cost fallacy at this point. Then it's on to the Donkey Kong Land games!

I'm poised to begin my DKC marathon as soon as December begins. And delighted that the Land games are now available, too!

The too much water idea has been around since the GBA games, people just really played it up when ORAS released. I'm pretty sure it was something poked fun at for some time beforehand.

Day one 100%. I have both previous versions but I like playing old favourites on new hardware and also just the convenience of having things on my current device.

I loved the 3D on the 3DS and used it at every opportunity, so I'd be delighted to somehow see it return. Faceplates, too.

No idea. I am interested, though. Prime Remastered was my first serious go at those games, and after a fair bit of initial frustration, it eventually clicked and I loved it. So I'm intrigued about a remastered second and third title.

Alert the dictionary and inform them that the definition of four has been changed to be three

Dude found a couple dusty papers sitting between the photocopier and the wall.

I think it's funny how some people take the timeline pretty seriously when the devs themselves just threw it out there as a half-arsed afterthought lol

Nice, my DKcember looking different this year. So I assume Land III is next, and I wonder if Japan is gonna get the GBC version. I haven't played that particular one and I have the Japanese apps.

Interesting. I enjoy handhelds so I might be inclined to get one if the price is right. I can't see this thing playing the PS5 discs, nor would I want it to, so I sure hope it has a large internal storage and a non-proprietary way to expand it. If it's real.

Mario & Luigi, Dragon Quest 3, Donkey Kong Land, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It's a bit stormy here today so I should get some quality time with the Switch.

Yeahhhhh I didn't exactly have a robust library as a broke teenager. Mario, Kirby, and Pokémon and that was about it.

Just played through the first two worlds and I must say, this plays so much better than the GBC Country demake. The slower movement really helps you react to what's ahead with the limited screen real estate. Here's hoping the GBA app gets some ports added, too.

The DS ran its course before I had an income so my list is limited, but here it is anyway in no particular order:

Super Mario 64 DS
Mario Kart DS
Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver
Pokémon Black/White
Kirby Super Star Ultra

I'm sad I only got into Animal Crossing starting with New Leaf because I could see myself pouring so much time into Wild World had I played it back then 😭

I didn't have any issue securing a Switch at launch so hopefully things will go just as smoothly this time around.

Behaviour of a deranged sociopath

I guess I'll take the free vitamins? Kind of hard up for cash from buying vitamins lol

I'm really more of a dog person

One of the best games ever made. I'll be revisiting it again soon, as I do a sort of DKcember annually where I play through all the Country games. I'd love the GBA version just to shake things up, though.

5 stars, really? They must want to ensure everyone can get it. At least I won't have to work for it lol

I loved the PS3 game, so I am very much looking forward to this rerelease!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons mostly. Currently remodeling my island. A little Mario & Luigi on the side, but I'm bored and might drop it. Dragon Quest has piqued my interest, so I might get that.

I just call in sick 🤷‍♂️

Pretty dope but so many white and white adjacent ones! I would buy one but never wear it anywhere

I'm at 13 hours and I give it a 6 at the moment. It looks great, battles are fun and surprisingly challenging at times, but the story is a snorefest thus far, I really dislike the designs of those weird plug people, and navigating the world is tedious and often contrived and constantly interrupted by NPCs. Definitely the weakest of the three Mario RPGs that came out in the last year.

Absolutely not. Not even when the next one releases.

Pretty neat. I'd have preferred they take inspiration from the original SNES game instead but it's still cool.

I want those KONG letters

Kinda want to get it. But also I am beyond terrible at Tetris, just absolute dog crap. So probably I won't.

This is super funny lol it's also amusing that they're asking for $7.5 mil versus the $30-something thousand they want from the Palworld people.

Why Mario & Luigi: Brothership, of course! I'm also getting heavy into Animal Crossing: New Horizons again. I'm remodeling parts of island and working on finally clearing the DLC.

I'm one the 44% primarily handheld folks, and as such, I'd love a better battery life!

I find it pretty aggravating, myself, and I keep messing up the action commands as a result, even during boss fights when I'm paying more attention to what I'm doing.

It's convenient if nothing else. I hang on to my old systems so if I want to play something older, I just boot those up. But! Those older systems could just decide to stop working, in which case having the games playable on current hardware is quite handy. That's what happened to my poor 3DS, that library is unplayable and they stopped selling 3DSes quite some time ago 😭
