I've been playing Wii Fit every morning for last 2 weeks since being confined to my house...I think I have Wii Sports somewhere but for some reason I can't get two controllers to sync if it's already synced with the board.Still,so glad I never got rid of the wii!
I'm with @Anti-Matter out of this list.I was kind of interested before but as soon as I played that demo?Man that was the most fun id had in a while for co-op and the music was so catchy. Trials Of Mana is an obvious one for me and I'm curious about that Boot Hill Bounties too.
Lots of Animal Crossing..and I mean LOTS..I don't know why I never tried this series before because it's great!So addicting and I never knew being in debt would be such a good thing.. Stardew Valley has seen a lot of action too just lately but now I am deciding if I want to hook up with the any of the young girls..Emily,Haley or Leah?Jodi is my fave but unfortunately she's off limits.. Still right at the end of Trails Of Cold Steel 2..seriously,great game but it's beginning to drag..or is it because I have Final Fantasy VII Remake waiting?
@Gerbwmu 'hopefully by June we won't need it as much' Yep,that right there..but sadly I think this is going to go on for a lot longer.But yeah gotta admit I thought it was going to be a 'released today' too.
That 51 games looks pretty great...it really needs to release now though..our family is going mental locked up together..lol The best of the direct though was definitely Xenoblade Chronicles..loved the sequel but couldn't get into the first one on the 3ds..was too fiddly.
Like a lot of people I'll be playing Animal Crossing and I've just opened the museum and concentrating on finding the resources for the shop.Seeing as it's my first AC I'm so glad I went digital as it's definitely the kind of game I will always want ready to dive into.Absolutely loving it! Stardew Valley is another game I'm STILL hooked on..this game is just so addictive.. On the PS4 I have been getting well into Trails Of Cold Steel 2..I'm about 60 hours in and think I may be coming up to the end.. To be honest I need to put these video games aside and somehow get exercise that is equal to 5 hours walking on my postal route..
Personally I think it looks great,plays great and I'm loving the soundtrack! But unfortunately I died in my first battle so I can see I'll probably have as much trouble with this as Octopath Traveller..
Being a postie that unfortunately ticks more than a few boxes for the 'at risk' category I am used to 5 to 6 hours walking and now I'm stuck at home running on the spot on my Wii Fit..
Loving this game and seeing this just makes me laugh and enjoy it more.Still,not as funny as Dragon Quest Builders 2 where,you build a loo and suddenly about 20 people all decide they need a number 2 at the same time lol.
@Kidfunkadelic83 @Bmartin001 Same here.Never played one before as the series had never appealed to me but after falling in love with games like Stardew Valley and My Time In Portia this looked more and more like my kind of game...and after spending quite a few hours on it since yesterday I'm pleased to say it is..love it!
This is amazing news but hardly surprising given the state of the world at the moment.
I myself gave in and bought it last night (digital) and it's the first time I have ever played a AC game...absolutely loving it and already spent a good number of hours on it.
Well done to Nintendo!
@Anti-Matter You reminded me I still have to get back to that game at some point.Finished the main story mode after 96 hours...absolutely fantastic game!
Due to be someone in the 'high risk' group I am at home for two weeks (but only because my boss sent me home) so i will have plenty of gaming time. So far I haven't bought Animal Crossing mainly because I feel I was too quick to jump and buy Rune Factory 4 only to find I can't really get into it yet as I feel a bit overwhelmed by everything so I'm holding off for now. So I will be playing 1,Stardew Valley 2,My Time In Portia 3,Trails Of Cold Steel 2 and 4,Jedi Fallen Order.
Our Game disappeared from our town just a couple of months ago which I was just saying in another post.I think it's about now when the chaps that used to work there are glad they now dont..
@InAnotherCastle I'll add to that!Loved Doom and Doom 2,hated Doom 3 and probably one of the few but felt disappointed by the rebooted Doom so I doubt I'll be getting Eternal but Doom 64 however..is awesome and will be picking it up imminently.
On Ps4 it will mostly be Jedi Fallen Order,Trails Of Cold Steel 2 and My Time In Portia. On Switch Stardew Valley is again taking over my life...140 hours now and still absolutely loving it! I will also be playing some of Rune Factory 4 but despite it being my first game in the franchise and was really looking forward to it,I got to admit I find it a bit overwhelming with what I'm supposed to do.I've not really found any clear direction yet on what to concentrate on.
Possibly start a new game from my backlog as I'm either going to finish or unfortunately give up on Atelia.Just can't seem to take down that boss no matter what..
@Anti-Matter Both games I am planning to buy too.Will be my first ever experience with an Animal Crossing game and the first Cooking Mama game I've bought since the original on the Nintendo DS..cant wait!
Excellent review although it doesant matter what score it received as I've already got my Archival copy on the way. I don't remember seeing this in your review but do you have to be in bed by a certain time like in Stardew Valley and My Time In Portia?
I've never played a Rune Factory game before but seeing as I'm absolutely hooked on Stardew Valley I took a risk not just to buy Rune Factory 4..But the Archival Edition.
The only reason I haven't preordered yet is because I really can't decide if I'm going digital or retail with this game.. This game looks more adorable every time I see it.
I'll be playing Stardew Valley on the Switch..just can't get enough of this game!About 130 hours now.
My Time In Portia on Ps4 is another one I am having trouble leaving alone.I really love these kind of games now.Looking forward to playing my first Rune Factory and Animal Crossing soon!
Atelia Ryza will also grab some of my attention this weekend.
@Anti-Matter I'm playing it on the Ps4 because I heard how bad the Switch version is supposed to be.I'm about 10 hours into it and to be honest I haven't had any trouble as far as glitches and bugs go.Although the loading is a bit slow but nothing too bad..just hope I haven't jinxed it
It's my long weekend off work so I have more time than usual to get into my gaming time. Atelia Ryza on the Ps4 has been taking a huge chunk of my time up.love the game but still not decided if I prefer the new battle system over the old one.Love all the characters though. I'm also heavily into My Time At Portia..such an addictive and time consuming game. On the Switch im 13 hours into my second farm on Stardew Valley.My farm is a mess,everyone hates me and only have 500g to my name...at least I'm a good fisherman.
I've never played any of them so I couldn't agree or disagree with this list.I'm just looking forward to my first experience at an Animal Crossing game
@ShadJV Id forgotten id even posted that comment it was so long ago.lol But still,thanks a ton for your response and description.Similarities and differences. Obviously since last posting I've looked into it alot more and seeing as I'm still playing Stardew Valley and now My Time at Portia and soon to try that Rune Factory 4 it's clear to me these are the kind of games im now into so I will most likely try Animal Crossing too. No Cloud Saves do worry me but not enough to not buy the game.It sounds like Nintendo will come up with something,they must know they may lose alot of buyers of they do nothing.
Excellent review,being such a huge fan of the original film and brilliant series I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced.6 out of 10 is fine to me and it's kind of the score I was expecting..only thing I'm disappointed to read is no voice acting..that does surprise me but I'm sure I can get over it.
Just started Atelia Ryza on the Ps4 and really enjoying it...no surprise really as I've never been disappointed in any of them. Also started a brand new farm in Stardew Valley after leaving it for so long I couldn't remember what I was doing in my last game.(105 hours worth).
The worst decision I ever made was selling my collection of Game And Watch Handhelds of which I had about 10 and my Special Edition Of Lunar The Silver Star,Luna Eternal Blue,Popful Mail and Vay.I was young and short of cash at the time and thought the deal was a good deal...it really wasnt.. These days if I buy a game Special Edition or not I keep it.
A Paper Mario game would be great for sure and to be honest id rather have a Mario Galaxy 3 than Super Mario Odyssey sequel because I did enjoy it but at the same time I felt slightly disappointed by it too. To be honest though I'm not too bothered as I have enough games on the go now to keep me occupied for the next 5 years..
After surviving my nasty case of head shingles over the past couple of weeks I'm finally able to use what's left of my sick leave up catching up on games. I have finally finished Luigi's Mansion 3 after twenty or so hours and have got to say it's easily one of my top 5 Switch games!Everything You said @carlos82 is exactly how I felt about that game and the boss battles I found were fun and inventive.Perfect.Ps4
I've also been putting a number of hours into Fire Emblem Three houses plus gone back to Dragon Quest Builders 2 on Ps4
Stardew Valley was my first and so far only dip into the 'farming sim' and I absolutely loved it and got a good 100 or so hours out of it so if Rune Factory 4 is anything like that..I'm totally in.But I might have to go digital as it sounds like the kind of game that will never end..
Gotta say,Switch has been fantastic with the amount of demos available and this is another game I've been curious about so looking forward to trying it.
Im still hoping to pick up Tokyo Mirage Sessions whenever I get round to completing Luigi Mansion 3 but there are so many other games on that list I'm excited for and to be honest I didn't realize just how many of them I wanted! Snackworld,Panzer Dragoon,Deadly Premonition 2,Xenoblade Chronicles 2,Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Bravely Default 2 are the important ones for me.

@Anti-Matter unfortunately from what I remember it was a redeem code voucher inside.
Unlike the sequel I don't think it had dlc but I could be wrong.
