I'd just like for Nintendo to port the Fatal Frame (Project Zero) series over. That series deserves a second shot, I'd hate to see the abysmal sales of FF5 on the abysmally sold Wii U, to kill off this franchise.

I'm guess Zelda TWW and TP will be ported over, hopefully has a combo pack and not individually at full price.

Halloween was great, gave me plenty of time to start decorating my island for the season. Toy Day was my number too, but with only 10 days to try and get those, hard to acquire through balloons, festive DIYs and decorate my island before Xmas was NOT enough time.... Why not start to season on Dec 1st?

May Day maze was great, but it was only a 1 short time thing, same with Museum day. Both great, but more would be great. Maybe a new maze everyday for a week? Anything Cherry Blossom is ALWAYS great! ^__^

@Rayquaza2510 @-Green-
This article I've added is an interesting read. Makes a lot of sense as well. It's clearly a Sony of America policy and the same games come out in Japan uncensored. Nintendo used to be the company that censored everything for the west, but now as long as it doesn't reach an AO rating, Nintendo leave's the developers alone.
And yes, it's only Japanese developed games that are affected. Anime is also an interesting beast in and of itself. Young characters can look like adults, adults can look like youths. So this may play a key part of it for Sony of America as US customs and ideals differ from Japanese ones.
But it certainly is baffling that Sony of Japan would allow Sony of America to censor a niche market that they dominated back on PS3 and Vita, especially as Nintendo, "the kids console" isn't doing anything about these games.

Check out the article, it's a good read, not too long either.

@Euler I 100% agree! Make it happen Nintendo!

@NintendoByNature It is free to play, there are several videos on youtube showing off the gacha mechanic.
This next video is a recent example from the last beta test.

I was really interesting in this game and ready to buy it until I found out it's a free-to-play.... with gacha mechanics... game... Since it's free, I may try it out. Why couldn't it simply be a stand-alone single player game like Zelda? Apparently monetization with be "fair for the player", but we'll see how that goes.

Loved AI: The Somnium Files. Highly recommend it!

@RPGamer Game Freak didn't make this game. A developer named Ambrella made it and it's published by The Pokemon Company. The only mobile game Game Freak has made is Pokemon Quest. Besides that one game, Game Freak only makes mainline Pokemon games (which includes remakes).

The issue isn't Game Freak, it's The Pokemon Company.

@Franklin We're all holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night!

@Damo Interesting that the page isn't available...
Maybe they found the same error. haha

Regardless, hopefully these will stick around so I pick some up on a trip to Japan. Just waiting for this Covid-19 to be over. To many amazing merchandise is exclusive to Japan.

@Damo, awesome find. One typo though, it's Koopala, the other website seems to have gotten it wrong too.

Japanese toy makers make the best toys.

@Kimyonaakuma They are married, in the 3DS version, Cyrus literally says “I better not catch you makin' goo-goo eyes at my wife, or I'll make ya see things in 4D!” haha

@TsukiDeity Unless it recieved an update since I last played. The small portals could be permanently destroyed however, the large portals don't stay broken they repair themselves (in what 2 or 3 years?) eventually you won't be able to stop the incoming hoard. If you can get to the point of destroying both portals before one repairs itself, I'd say your good to go and play New Lands. The first one is more like an old arcade game. You play to rack up a score in this case years.

@nhSnork Do you mean simply destroy all the small portals and then wait for the bitter end? I didn't think it's actually beatable.

Why does Nintendo always do this?... Animal Crossing is huge right now, most talked about game on Twitch, yet they are barely reprinting any cards... It really seems like Nintendo sometimes hates easy money. Demands is there, yet they don't bother with it. Wouldn't it make more sense for Nintendo to try to meet demand so that their fan base don't pay ridiculous scalper prices and buy more Nintendo products instead. You could buy a ton of the amiibo cards blind packs for 75$ (which goes straight to Nintendo) instead of paying 75$ for one card from a scalper. I was the same thing with Smash Amiibo....

24th is so bad, That's only 5 days. My amazon pre-order here in Canada said 1st April to 3rd April. That's too full weeks! Definitely cancelled, just going to go into a store instead. No way I'm waiting two full weeks!

Fatal Frame II Wii Edition, Fatal Frame IV and Fatal Frame V please. Nintendo owns those entries and the franchise since V. So port them all over! Be awesome to have I and III as well.

Swapnote please, I used to love sending my friends messages with silly doodles in them. It was also fun to see my friends messages be drawn out in from of my eyes. Love the whole letter style thing!
Bring it back!

@nukatha Yes, I bought mine at Yamada Denki, on the video game floor.

@MadCow74 Shogi is Japanese "chess" with 20 pieces, while Chinese "chess" (Xiangqi) is different and has 16 pieces like normal chess.

@BenAV Do you have any recommendations for VNs on switch?
I loved the Zero Escape franchise, really liked Steins Gate. I just got Ace Attorney trilogy and plan to eventually get Death Mark and Worldend Syndrome.

@Radbot42 I certainly do. Played the crap out of that game on GCN and Wii and will do the same again on Switch. It's by far my most played Resident Evil game, followed by REmake.

Yay! Startropics!! Now I'll be booting up the service~

@CharlieSmile Sorry to hear you didn't know, I had to get myself a Japanese one. You can still find them out there but they certainly are overpriced...

@CharlieSmile I own a Corrin Player 2 which is the female one, awesome amiibo if I say so myself.

@SmaMan FFX on cartridge is included in the physical retail box. It will also come with a piece of paper with a download code for FFX-2. It's the same thing that happened with Resident Evil Revelations Collection. RER1 on cartridge, RER2 digital only (code on paper provided in physical retail box).

Edit: Took too long to reply. haha
Really wish the versions here could just be the same as the Japanese and SEA versions.

Well, looks like I'm buying the Japanese version. Good thing it has english!

@Matthew010 I just bought this and I'm waiting to play it over the holiday break. I thought they addressed the easy problem by introducing the 4th star or is that easy as well? I prefer a challenge but regardless, my wife and I loved the first one, so I'm sure we'll have a blast playing this one. The fun might just be short lived if the 4th star is still easy...

@Beluganator no, this is more like Shovel Knight 2, with free updates in the future.

@Beluganator It's a new game, but it will be receiving (looks to be free) dlc (or updates as they are calling it).

For how poorly the Gamecube sold, it's audience was definitely buying games. The Gamecube has the highest games to console ratio of any Nintendo console or handheld, sitting as a whopping 9.59 games. Followed by the Wii at 9.05 games. Not surprisingly, the Wii U is both the worst selling console and has the smaller games to Home console ratio sitting at 7.54 games.

The handheld game ratio is always a little iffy in my opinion, if you don't count all the second, third or fourth 3DSs (DS, GBA or GB/GBC) people have due to special additions XL, Lites, SPs, etc, I'm positive the games to console ratio is much higher.

If anyone is interested here's the full list.

NES 8.08 GB/GBC 4.22
SNES 7.72 GBA 4.63
N64 6.83 DS 6.28
GCN 9.59 3DS 5.05
Wii 9.05
Wii U 7.54
Switch 4.42 (so far)

What if you send a bad gift with a present that the villager dislikes? Would they get more than -1?

@OorWullie Not quite. According to the latest MPDs in Japan.
The PS4 is on track to sell 7m systems in Japan soon enough. The Switch is only sitting above 4.6m.
I do agree that I think the Switch will out sell the PS4 by the end of the year though.

@Tibob I agree, but I won't get my hopes up. I know it's coming but the question is when?
Can I at least see it? Just a little sneak peek? Pretty please!!!

Dang it.... I saw that Animal Crossing logo and then my heart skipped a beat... Then I read the title.... man when are they going to announce Animal Crossing Switch??!?!?!?!!?

@Ahlvin23 Did you try bringing it down to easy mode where the characters will give you many hints? It's a feature I used a few times, really helped me with a few rooms I was stumped. haha

@Platinumhobo How it that anyways? I enjoyed the anime and the manga but never got around to the game.

@Ahlvin23 Have you at least tried 999 (Zero Escape series)?
It's what got me into visual novels!

@super08mario I'm curious to know why you think this way? People keep saying it's the best MH game ever. Personally, I find it's lost of lot of that Japanese/MH charm and all it's vibrate colourful world when they westernized it.

Oh how this commercial makes me really miss Japan...

I like how this casual commercial focuses on motion control for Mario Tennis, but the Direct focused on the detail and mechanics of the game.

@WiltonRoots As stated earlier, sure it is indeed a port of an exclusively Japanese PS4 game from last year, but for the rest of the world, this is essentially a new game.

@Sharks Yes, the platforming in this game is absolutely great, the art style rocks and the music by David Wise is simply amazing! If you're looking to collect all the puzzle pieces than this game is very challenging, otherwise i's a good level of challenge. Highly recommend it. I myself will double dip on this game, but not right now, I'm in no rush to 100% the game again. haha

@smashboy2000 That's awesome, happy for you man! I wish I had more friends that own Switches too! It's apparently popular here in Canada too, but I just don't know many people who own one.

@FTPinkRabbit Some people just like romance visual novels and don't need any of the extra naughty stuff. Even some women like VN like this but they also don't want the extra stuff. As long as removing the AO content doesn't ruin the story then it's fine. The price should be cheaper too! haha

@MetalKingShield You'd actually be guessing quite wrong. The nudity in this game is not mild in the slightest, it's fully fledge hardcore pron. The uncensored version would get a AO (Adult Only) rating here in North America, and both Sony and Nintendo do not allow AO games on their systems (I'm not sure about M$ and their xbox and they clearly allow it for windows).
If the game is indeed PEGI 18, my guess is that it's sexual content will be mild enough to reach M for Mature here but enough to make it PEGI 18 rather than 16.

@ieatdragonz regardless that they for some reason had a black friday this year.. Japan does the whole santa thing if they have young kids AND they often buy gifts for new years. Tail end of November and December tends to be a huge shopping season in Japan. But people could simply be snapping them up a head of time so they don't have to line up during the busier season.

@AlanJones84 Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. Basically most of the info we hear from Europe usually comes from Nintendo UK, so I thought that was the main place.

There are so many better costumes, Waluigi's outfit doesn't deserve to be in the top ten. Besides the classic Mario, Wario and Luigi costumes are also better than the Waluigi costume.

I'm surprised the Clown costume didn't make it in!

Games like Rocket League and Minecraft I can understand Sony not doing cross-play, they have enough players in their install base to warrant that. But I feel like chess on consoles is a bit more of a niche market, by making it cross-play it just gives you a better chance to play with someone at anytime. I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch, Xbox and PC crowd is WAY larger then the PS4 only crowd. If the PS4 crowd doesn't grow fast enough, PS4 owners may have to wait to play with someone... I guess it can't be helped. I won't be waiting long on my Switch.

@westermac of course, but this is a good alternative if you don't have the actual physical board and pieces at home. I think this mode would be fantastic for playing two player local chess on the airplane with a friend or on a road trip with the family. Sure at home physical stuff is the way to go, but this mode has it's advantages. ^_^
