I agree with what both of you said. It's a game that you can of course go back to, but it feels a lot "emptier" since all of the usual updates and Splatfests we had become accustomed to ran dry. Still one of my favorite games though, and I'll be looking forward to the eventual Splatoon 3.
I'll preface this by saying this is one of the greatest sandbox games I have played, and I am absolutely loving it. But please, NO MORE EGGS. Let me wear a bunny costume if I want to hunt eggs, and when I take it off, I can get back to fishing actual fish.
This guide is not entirely correct. Only 1 rock respawns every day, so if you want the best long-term farming, only smash 1 rock per day after mining them all.
I have to be honest, the gameplay looks a lot better than what the Splash Art would have me believe...and why am I not surprised that there is there a furry boxer in the comments >__<
As others have said here, Dante (from DMC) is definitely most likely at this point based on the date. I wouldn't personally be that excited for him but would be excited for those who wanted him.
There's something to be said about gathering around a table with friends and playing a board game. But sometimes, setting up and taking down all the pieces can be a bit cumbersome, so I love that Asmodee is bringing board games to the Switch and hope they do not stop anytime soon.
FF XIV, after they essentially rebooted it, is actually a fantastic MMORPG experience--if you don't mind a TON of dialogue and cutscenes. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it for a bit.
They are not the same though... the last wasn’t a Direct because it wasn’t live streamed, but this one is! Excited to say the least, I expect to fill some of the holes from the highlights.
So it's not a Nintendo Direct so can we at least change that part of the title? And it doesn't even seem to be a Nindies Showcase, so maybe we'll still get one of those later on this year?

Re: Review: In Other Waters - A Chilled-Out Journey Of Discovery Quite Unlike Any Other On Switch
Interesting! I remember when I first saw the Switch trailer, I was incredibly underwhelmed with the gameplay, but the soundtrack was cool.

Re: Shantae The Half-Genie Hero Is Now Available In Funko Pop Form

Re: It's Official: The Super Mario LEGO Sets Are Launching This August

Re: Guide: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Iron Nuggets - Tips For Farming Iron Nuggets And Ore
@Kalmaro I did the exact same thing! I wanted to clarify that, because I know people will read this guide and smash all their rocks.
Re: Guide: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Iron Nuggets - Tips For Farming Iron Nuggets And Ore
This guide is not entirely correct. Only 1 rock respawns every day, so if you want the best long-term farming, only smash 1 rock per day after mining them all.

Re: Drawful 2 Is Just 9 Cents On The Switch eShop Right Now (North America)
Pretty much a no-brainer, and you get 1 gold coin back for the digital purchase so it's pretty much only 8 cents!
Re: Amazon Is Delaying Shipments Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Download digital and then pick up the case later on if you want it for collection. Always my go to for these type of games!
Re: Review: Rune Factory 4 Special - The Definitive Version Of A Series Classic

@Iacobus @TheDragonDAFan Thank you both for your help!

Re: Review: Dauntless - A Monster Hunter Rival Which Suffers From Tech Issues On Switch
A game that's fun in short bursts, but takes longer than you'd think to actually have a decent play session. This is the irony of Dauntless.

Re: Classic Board Game Catan Settles On A June Release Date On Switch
There's something to be said about gathering around a table with friends and playing a board game. But sometimes, setting up and taking down all the pieces can be a bit cumbersome, so I love that Asmodee is bringing board games to the Switch and hope they do not stop anytime soon.
Re: Final Fantasy XIV Director Still Wants The Game On Switch, Talks With Nintendo Are Ongoing
FF XIV, after they essentially rebooted it, is actually a fantastic MMORPG experience--if you don't mind a TON of dialogue and cutscenes. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it for a bit.

Re: Rumour: New Nintendo Direct Airing Later Today
So it's not a Nintendo Direct so can we at least change that part of the title? And it doesn't even seem to be a Nindies Showcase, so maybe we'll still get one of those later on this year?
