AW: RbC csn't be released because...

...of the Just Stop Oil protesters, namely 'Indigo Rumbleow'.

MetP Trilogy NUMBER 1?

That feels a bit cheap as the games are ALREADY in the list so I'll IGNORE that and see second-place as first-place.

I'm only about an hour in and I'm quite liking Vi🟣let so far.

It's better than 'Arceus' but 🗡 will still be my favourite Switch Pkm Game.

I had a (Limited Edition Black) Wii and after being disappointed with its version of 'Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit', I would soon sell it and concentrate on my 160GB PS3: Slim (and fall in love with its version of NFS:HP).

I rolled my eyes at the announcement of the Wii 2 and though I had slight interest in the 3DS, had lost interest in Nintendo.

It wasn't until Sony banned me for NO reason in 2014 for 30 days that I would return to Nintendo, at first in the form of re-buying GBA Games in 2012 and later DS Games in 2017 but then moving onto New 3DS: XL in 2019 and then Switch in July-2020.

(I'll NEVER go back to Sony but have been interested in the X-Box 4)

Anyway, whereas I felt like I missed out during the 3DS days, I don't feel that way regarding second Wii.

However, I am glad that some of its best games have been bought over to the Hybrid Console with the exception of 'The Wind Waker'.

@Kyloctopus I remember when there was Official Puma clothing in 'True Crime 2: NYC' and being like 'wow'!

A few of my Pkm have the Pokérus in 🗡

Years ago, there was a Hoenn Event and I had to send in my copy of Sapphire to Nintendo and they sent it back with a shiny Zigzagoon and I'm SURE it had the virus.

I got my 'Violet' from MyNintendo UK site on Launch Day but yet to play it as I'm out to Birmingham with the mrs and her nephew. (LOOK OUT for me; I'm in a Charizard hat)

I'll get to play it later and if I like it, I'll get 'Scarlet' to get all the Starters.

I CAN'T WAIT for it to be linkable to HOME.

@Pat_trick And risk getting robbed by some scummy chavs?

I only ever played the first Prime game. I never completed it as it was 2Hard4Me but I wouldn't mind a second try on Switch.

I'm not sure I'd be too bothered with playing the two sequels though, with them being too samey.

As of now (18th Nov at 11:47AM), I have 3820🥈 Points.

I spend them for the sake of it and have a box of unwanted trinkets.

Considering they're limited, maybe one day they'll be worth something...

As regards the NSO Icons, I have a few and am currently using the NES Console one but my favourite is my standard Mii Character as this represents me the best.

They'll ALL be beaten by my Fire-Pepper...

@Ulysses This is why I've never liked Pikachu.

When I finally levelled one up in Sapphire (I never had RBY or GSC), I couldn't see what all the fuss was about.

I WISH 'NintendoLand' was bought to Switch, either as a port or modern update, as I never got to play it with me not having a Wii 2.

Getting mine from MyNintendo UK HOPEFULLY on Friday/Launch Day with a (pointless) Steelbook but it might add some resale value if I don't like 'Violet'.

I played a friend's version of Red🔴 in mid-2001 to see if I'd like Pkm.

Once I knew I did, I would wait three years to buy Sapphire🔵 on the same day I got my metallic blue GBA:SP (Sunday 4th January 2004).

I unofficially nicknamed my Sapphire Chaizard 'Char-Char McGragh'.

I never typed that in to the Game but would refer to him as that verbally.

I love PoGo SOOOO MUCH, I wont play it but let it play itself.

Sorry for the LOOOONG comment but I have to say this and get it off my chest.

Ever since I first heard about No Man’s Sky back in 2016, I always thought it was too ambitious for its claims.

A game so big, it can last forever? Really?

I never had a PlayStation 4, an Xbox One or a powerful enough PC, I still had my PlayStation 3 Slim so never had a chance to play it the first time around.

Six years later, it releases on Switch and due to me still being interested, I bought it and after putting in the game card, downloading the update and playing it for a few hours, I have got to admit I am mightily impressed.

(As a sidenote, I do not care about how it looks and plays compared to other consoles’ versions, as I’m happy with how it performs on the Switch.)

This game is exactly what I wanted The Outer Worlds, my current favourite Switch game, to be.

I remember looking up in the sky in The Outer Worlds, seeing planets and moons and wishing I could get there.

That wonderment never left when I was on Raxas, the planet you start on in No Man’s Sky because now, I can!

In The Outer Worlds, I wish the player could’ve actually travelled between planets instead of warp-speeding to them, which was really a loading screen.

In No Man’s Sky, you actually see destinations getting closer and closer as you approach them and land on them with no loading screens in sight.

Blasting around space, planet to planet finding new species of plants, animals and even intelligent alien creatures is very relaxing for me and what I love about the travelling is that it can take ages if you don’t hyperdrive boost. I’m aware it takes ages but I never hyperdrive to any place unless it is in another galaxy; Standard Boost all the way for me because I love the journey.

And before any of that, you need to make sure your spaceship has enough fuel.

Finding enough resource to charge up your suit after it has taken damage or the mad dash to shelter when there is harmful rainfall is always nerve-wracking.

I never started on permadeath difficulty but I can understand why others would. To make the adventure/journey as real as possible is appealing but to me, gameplay-wise, I’d hate to have to start all over again with the progress I’ve made and the hours I’ve put in.

The only negatives are that I wish there were more English-speaking characters. I had hoped for some Dr Who style automatic translator. Maybe there is one out there yet to be discovered. And yes, I know it’s space but learning one word per alien is going to take a very long time to master any of the various languages.

But then, that’s the point: to take my own time and explore at my own leisure. There’s no way I’ll truly complete this game.

This leads to my second negative, that is, I’ll never truly complete this game due to its size.

The Outer Worlds, while a good size, was manageable and of course had various endings. I completed it and its DLC but am still wanting for more.

With No Man’s Sky, I can feel overwhelmed and completely spoilt for choice.

I think I’d settle for a mix of both games; the action role-playing of The Outer Worlds but a slightly larger galaxy map size and the actual space travel, exploration and resource-gathering of No Man’s Sky.

Violet and if I like the game, I'll then get Scarlet.

I'll stick with 'Nintendo Pocket Football Club' on 3DS.

@Markiemania95 What I meant was the continuation, lol.

@Rafie I think NSMB2 and/or SM3DL kind of are successor to SMB3.

But SMB1/2/3 with modern graphics/sound/gameplay wouldn't do much for me as I think the SNES versions are still sufficient to this day.

I voted for the EU version as it was the one I grew up with.

A mix of my usual Fortnite amd Rocket League with now-added FIFA 23 and No Man's Sky.

The ability to buy retro games and keep them via an Account as I'm not going to keep buying the same ones on different systems.

Themes and Music for the main screen and E-Shop.

Folders on the main screen.

Text chat to friends.

The only PokéMon I receive are the ones in-game or the official ones via the special events so I should be good.

The ONLY thing that concerns me about this movie is the amount of singing🎶 there's going to be...

While I briefly played a friend's copy of Red, my Pkm adventure started in Hoenn (RSE) so hearing the two pieces of music's and seeing the pixel art on the lovely little site took me back to 2004 :'-)

That's interesting, as Metro/GameCentral gave it 8/10.

I ALWAYS go by their reviews.

I bought this on Launch Day, played it a few times and eventually traded it in.

I'll never play this version but would with the GC version.

41 and play mostly Rocket League after my night shift and sometimes Fortnite.

Currently playing The Outer Worlds 2...

...I mean No Mans Sky.

@Angelic_Lapras_King The Lite came put in September 2019 so three years ago.

The problem I have with NSO is I don't don't play Mario Kart online (SHOCKER). I only play Fortnite and Rocket League and they don't need NSO to play Online.
Once I realised this, I stopped paying for NSO about two months ago.
As regards what others have said about buying individual games, SERIOUSLY, how many times will you buy these games?
I bought a few on the Wii VC years ago and it was bad enough when I learnt you had to pay 99p/£1.49 a game to transfer to Wii I which is one reason I never got one.
Years later, I'd get a New 3DS XL. As there wasn't a way to transfer from Wii or an Online Account, I did buy a few games again but I WONT be buying them a THIRD time...

...Saying that, I'll probably buy Mario 1 again.

And Mario 2.

And Mario 3.

And World, Land and 6 Golden Coins.

I played Mario Run when it came out for about a day to two and never really go back to it unless I am REALLY bored at work.

FE: Heroes was good but I got bored of characters I had deleted to death coming back to life. I stopped playing despite having already spent a small amount on its Orbs.

The only mobile game I play is PokéMon Go and that is EVERYTIME I'm out and about.

I have the Charizard, green/red 8-Bit Mario amd Captain Toad ones but they are STILL in their boxes as I DO t want to ruin said box and there's not much use to them I the games that I play.

As @Silly_G said, it would've been amazing to have them unlock Themes and Wallpapers etc for the Switch.

THANK GOODNESS I KEPT my LGE, BD and PLA Save Files.

I LOVE Sword so obviously kept that one.

Swampert FOR. THE. WIN.

I missed the period for getting the pre-order bonuses so I'll have to get them off E-Bay...

***Linking in LATE 2023...

"GTA's radio is not like many other games on this list. Instead of deploying one perfect song at the perfect moment, instead the radio soundtracks all the terrible decisions you make while you drive through the trilogy's many locations. That means that every player's experience is different"

This isn't true; The Soundtracks plays on a two-round loop.

Trust me; I've stopped to listen to them.
