I’m definitely intrigued by this! I very specifically love the pinball mini game in Kirby mass attack and have played more hours in that mini game than the rest of the game hahaha
Interesting and very well written! I do love conventions but I struggle with really busy ones so this probably isn’t for me and also perhaps my gaming habits are A LOT of Nintendo and not toooo much else.
Am I the only one who finds his Tweet quite funny? 😂 Though I’m not a Hollow Knight fan so maybe that’s why.
Hope there’s good news for all you HK fans though! I have the game but I think I’m too bad to progress that far haha, I’ll get round to playing it…. Eventually
I’m interested in the game but I’ve never played the original so I think that this Direct is a good thing for me as it’ll help me to figure out if I wanna buy it or not (and reviews once it’s out).
Also as everyone else is saying: 45 minutes?? Holy cow!
Seems like a game I would love in a Wii Play type of compilation but I doubt I’ll buy the game myself. It was fun when I tried it out but I don’t think I’m best fussed on the controls. I commend Nintendo for doing something so unique though!
@AJWolfTill yup I really would love to get a Hades 2 release date in this direct! I’ve been avoiding hearing what people say as I wanna go in blind but my sister said (in her opinions) it’s even better than the first!
I own the first one of the game. I’ve tried playing it through a few times but it tends to feel like I’m forcing myself to play it (which is strange!). I wonder if the improvements in the remake would interest me? I don’t see myself buying it at launch though but I will be looking at reviews.
I wonder if someone will be able to combine this with a real Gameboy’s internals so that they make it functional? Actually, it might be easier for them to start from scratch with their own Lego bricks, rather than a set perhaps.
The shoes look pretty neat but luckily I was never gonna buy a pair of shoes that expensive anytime soon so the low numbers and exclusivity don’t bother me
@Dpullam Yes, I’ve been finding that the game really sucks you in! I’ll play it for a bit, then put it down to do another hobby or hang out with family and I’ll get sooo excited for the next time I can pick it up again. I showed it to my dad and he played it for a couple minutes and was having a blast.
@YoshiTails yeah it is a bit strange! I don’t wanna say too much but I am enjoying it though it’s a lot to take in. Curious what this will end up being.
LOL yesterday I was talking to my brother about how I don’t think the rumour was true. Shows what I know! Anyways I’m looking forward to the direct, curious to see what else is coming (maybe a GTA V port?)
As others have said, I was hoping for a larger, less specialised Direct but after the Splatoon news I realised that was unlikely! But oh well, news is news! I’m very excited for more DK!
I’m not buying one for the meantime as I’ll see how I fare once I have the NS2. I’ll almost definitely eventually buy one though! The question is how soon.
I wonder what the plan would’ve been for other Western countries. Like I’m from the UK and Baseball is not popular here at all. Pokémon Cricket? Hahaha
I just finished Skyward Sword a few days ago, so now I’ve moved onto Pokémon Violet. I started that game a while ago but I got too busy to play it. I want to play through Violet and Shining Pearl before Z-A comes out.
Then if I want a break from Pokemon, I think I might play Yooka Laylee or TOTK.
Not a big fan of how on the Japanese cover, the Pokeball emblem is over the top of another Pokeball emblem. A nitpick for sure but the NA cover pips it for me!
Feraligatr is my favourite Pokémon of all time (by a decent bit too!) so my choice is extremely easy.
Excited to see if there are regional differences or perhaps what the mega evolutions are! I’m looking forward to this game so much (but I have a backlog)
I wouldn’t be able to part with it! I am gonna lend it to my sister though but she’s aware that I still “own” it as I’ve never gotten rid of a console (or game) before!
I’ve never picked up any of the Sonic racing games despite being a massive sonic fan as I’ve been only interested in mario kart but this one’s intrigued me! Especially as Vector is in it! (Not sure if he was in previous racing games or not)
God I hope so! My sister has been playing this a lot and I tried it out on my brother’s Xbox and it’s so much fun, but I cant really get into games if they’re not on my own console.
Interesting! I don’t really read manga but I do have a subscription for DC Universe Infinite (and sometimes Marvel Unlimited) and it would be amazing if I could read those on my Switch/S2. But to be honest, I have a tablet so I’m not sure how much I would actually use it haha.
Great survey! Interesting questions and I'm looking forward to seeing the results. And seeing so many comments thinking about the Switch 2 having dual screens is intriguing!
