Currently playing through both ToTK and BoTW with my fiancé who didn’t grow up around video games much and the voice guidance especially has been really neat! I’m also a sucker for the random little extra voice lines, though the alert scares the crap out of me.
After what feels like an eternity, I finally got my Bayonetta from the German Nintendo store, so I was able to add her and Sephiroth to my collection this week. I'd love to get more of the Zelda amiibo if those also get restocked for TOTK. Otherwise I have an almost complete set of Splatoon amiibo and a couple of Smash ones I thought were neat.
Had to pay a little extra (3 ish bucks more, no big deal) to get Sephiroth. Him and Bayonetta are the top ones I was looking out for, so far no luck on the Bayo. Ordered her on the official Nintendo store but they ran out of stock before fulfilling my order...
I'm waiting on picking it up until I have my week long hospital stay scheduled... I love the original and having New Snap as a treat to look forward to while in hospital makes it less scary... kinda... sorta...
I had an involuntary long weekend (aka I was stuck in quarantine from Thursday to Sunday) and the sudden urge to replay Pokemon S/M overcame me... I gave in and startet up Ultra Sun. For some reason, probably nostalgia for my last happy adolescence Pokemon adventure, I enjoy the last gen so much more than S/S. I also started playing Cattails (it's basically stardew valley with CATS and it's only 1,99 Euros on sale rn) and played some Taiko no tatsujin. Overall, a very game-y weekend.
I don't have the time to play longer games like this one anymore... I might buy it eventually once I'm inevitably forced to go back to home office hahahaha
I've stepped away more and more from buying new games recently, as I find that you can have a way better fun to money ratio by buying used games. 70 Euros is nearly TWO WEEKS of groceries for me and my partner, I could never justify that kind of spending on a regular basis...
After really slacking on my island the last couple of weeks, I'm fully back on the Animal Crossing train! I'm also trying to gather the motivation to start Kingdom Hearts on my PS4... no luck so far 😂
Still some AC here and there and I've been really into the Zelda Twilight Princess Picross that was on offer a long time ago on my Nintendo... There's just something calming about a good old puzzle game
I don't think Animal Crossing needs to be mentioned at this point, it's a fundamental part of my routine. Besides this chore, I´ll try to finish Mario 3D Land and Links Awakening. Just got Link between worlds today so maybe I´ll start on that if I finish the others. Also tried getting back to Pokémon yesterday... I just can´t bring myself to finish Sword, just not as fun as some of the older games.
I'm mostly going to be playing Pokémon Snap on my N64. I'm also trying to get Super Mario 3D Land to 100%, nut sure if I´ll finish that this weekend tough.
I myself am just getting started on the 3DS. I loved the system ever since I bought it in 2012 and now I finally have some money to spend on the many awesome games that came out for it. Especially now that they're so dirt cheap, I can't really convince myself to drop 60 Euros on a Switch port I won't enjoy considerably more than a 3DS or Wii U version.
@Ralizah Yeah, I tried it with both consoles (one receiving, one sending), might have to try it again... I hate bringing my OG so I feel you, it’s so bulky and fragile.. Real pitty about NH, got my lite mostly to play that game on the go but now I’ll probably go for the OG with my town to have the option for TV mode. Thanks anyway and have a lovely day!
@Ralizah stupid question but does transferring Pokemon safe data from OG to Lite work for you? I’ve tried and failed, the consoles just said there was no console available to transfer to/ receive
I also got really lucky and got the Splatoon posters! Nintendo sent me an email informing me that my SNES posters are on the way too, I’m pretty glad they messed up as I wanted the Splatfest ones super badly.
Ordered mine yesterday! The Zelda and Metroid posters look super nice, don’t care much for the Mario Kart one but I’ll make use of it somehow. Also took part in the giveaway for the SNES Mini though I doubt I’ll win.
This looks really cool, but it taking batteries is a huge dealbreaker to me. I hate running out of battery just to realise that I don’t have any more at hand.
Damn, I was really looking forward to TWDs ending and I already bought it on Switch, looks like I wasted my money, don't think they'll refund if rumours of it not being finished are true.
I watched lots of gameplay from the earlier versions of the game which seemed to play a lot better. I always thought it looked cool and even considered picking it up... But 40$ is 40$ and the reviews for the game have mostly been five out of ten at best. Maybe five or six years from now I'll pick it up at a clearance sale somewhere for cheap.
I didn't like Dark moon so I probably won't pick this remake up, I hope they just end the 3Ds's lifetime sooner than later, insert "This could've been on the switch" here.
Wanted to go to Gamescom this year but I'm still a bit too young to go alone and nobody could come with me. If I'm lucky I might get the chance to go next year but we'll see.
I am really excited for this game! I love Metroid type games and this looks great. The 3Ds is still my favourite handheld at the moment, I see the Switch as a homeconsole more than a handheld.
I really liked HHD when it first came out and I used to play it and upload my homes almost daily. It might not have been the Animal crossing we wanted but it was refreshing and cute.
Hm.. thouse actually look pretty cool but I'm going to stick with my Gba Sp for now even though I prefer the feel of the Gbc. $150 plus the extra workload is just a bit much for me.
My father got this bundle about a year ago and it was well worth it for him. The 2Ds is still a great "casual" console on the cheaper side and I have to admit, I actually really like the feel and weight of it.
I can't wait until i finally get the chance to play this game! It's really nice to see that Nintendo supports the 2nd game just as much as the original.... Even though I will never really use this weapon, I'm a Roller user.
Just picked it up today, loved every minute so far. The random Miis that I chose for my adventures are so charming all around. I've played maybe about 2 hours ( not counting the time spent in the Demo ) and I feel like I have only scratched the surface. Summer vacation just started and this game gives me a reason to take my 3Ds everywhere again. 8/10 from my side.
The weird Voicechat implementation doesn't bother me too much. I rarely use it and if I actually want to talk to my friends while playing I would much rather continue using Skype. Quick and easy.
I would love to see the new Kingdom Hearts on the Switch someday but any of the games would be appreciated on my end. The 3Ds had one released for it so I guess the Switch would be powerful enough to handle KH 3.
I just came back from my local store ( Germany ) and we currently have about 5 Splatoon bundles , 4 grey Joycon bundles and 2 neon Joycon bundles in stock. We also had plenty of Amiibo for Splatoon 2 there and about 15 copies of the game. You could say that its not really difficult to stay fresh here.

Re: Talking Point: In 2023, Do You Still Care About amiibo?
