For what it's worth, the Switch version is listed as "Coming Soon"

@Pillowpants I saw what you did there.

I don't EV train, so it was a curiosity for me. I used to send out infected Pokemon via Wonder Trade (or it's ilk).

I for one can't wait for the tee-shirt. Won't take long, I suppose.

In my younger days, I sported a moustache. I would try to grow it into a fu manchu but it always ended up a lemmy...

As for Probopass, dude, that thing looks like a pube bush... Go ahead, try to un-see that now.

Na. There's still nothing about it that's personally compelling for me. And I don't think it would take adding games or DLC or standard fare like that, but it would have to be something so unique that would make me want to subscribe.

@WallyWest In this case, such a comparison is detrimental. You may get fence-sitters making their decision based on this information. There's already a comment here questioning NLs high rating of the game based on this video.

The game was released for hardware which already exceeded Switch specs, a year before the Switch was even released.

It would be like reviewing a 6-cylinder Dodge Charger and coming to the conclusion that it won't perform as good as a Hellcat.

This is the reason why I tend to ignore DF analysis. They deliberately overlook the most important aspect: FUN! I've got over 30 hours logged so far, and am enjoying it greatly.

Having played the PC version from launch, I was already familiar with the basics, so I didn't have much of a learning curve to deal with. But I gotta say, besides the surprising quality of the port, the thing I am most happy with is how they mapped the controls. Controls feel intuitive to me, having an idea how the menus etc are laid out. I've only got a short time so far, just built my first base computer and shelter but I can't really see anything that would cause rage quit. Multiplayer is a non-factor for me, since I never played it anyways...

@Nanami_Ataraxi if you play it on normal mode, it's quite chill. I prefer exploration, so if I run into the rare hostiles, I just run away.

Oof indeed. I've had this on my Steam wishlist forever, but I rarely play PC anymore. I always get annoyed with games that were originally built for keyboard/mouse control systems but don't translate the controls very well to a console (Autonauts, I'm pointing at you) ... I'll still keep an eye on the Switch version and see if there's any growth.

It's OK. Graphics are really good, but there are enough little nagging points that will keep me from buying it. Time constraints are killer in this game. Some of the controls are awkward (I end up eating food rather than attacking).

I'm old. Back in the day, my parents were in a bowling league and I had to go to the alley with with them. They had a game center with the typical pinball machines, but they also had things like Breakout and Space Invaders.

If only I wasn't lactose intolerant...

Lots of stuff for everyone. Off the top of my head, the railroad simulator looks likely to be a release-day purchase. Big fan of Dragon Quest, so that's a possibility. Played Portal 1 when it first came out, never did Portal 2, but might back-burner that.

This looks like a day-one or pre-order for me.

@CANOEberry It's possible but I figure error prone and time consuming. The little black chips you see on computer boards, etc, are just the carriers for a much smaller chip inside (what he refers to as the die). Look at a picture of an old ROM chip with a transparent window; that little piece inside the window is the actual die, the part that makes it work. The rest is just the carrier for connection to the outside world. That picture is 40 years old, too. Newer tech is even smaller.

I've got about 140 hours logged, so I'm apparently enjoying it, but I don't know if I would recommend it. There are a number of issues, detailed elsewhere (frame rate, random crashes), but ultimately, this whole franchise feels like a set it-n-forget it, in that it doesn't seem to get much post-launch dev attention.

I was an early subscriber to the original NSO, but as a single user (no family or friends), the expansion pack has no current value for me.

I don't know if there's an error in the guide or if the locations of the last three are random, but I found the little dragon in the Phoros Woodland.

@Kirgo Here is a list of trademarked products that have been genericized and some of them are quite familiar:

Their explanation that "Nintendo is an adjective, not a noun" is a load of hogwash. We don't go around saying "That was such a Nintendo movie!" or "Dude, she is so Nintendo". Altho it would kinda make sense, and using it the way they describe it would make it become generic anyways.

As someone who cut his teeth programming 6502 assembly on a Commodore VIC-20 in the 80s, this stuff is right up my stack.

I ordered it last week, and since I had RF4 Special save data, I got all the bonuses. I'm enjoying it so far, but since it unlocked only a few hours ago, I'm still kinda in the dreadfully slow tutorial. First thing I did was disable the auto-camera. Some real bad lag during some of the early cutscenes, so hope they'll have a patch.

Old School Musical? I mean, it's a game about the sound track

This is great. I was hoping for this. I've played the PC version since launch and it improved tremendously. I hope the Switch version can run fine.

I've played and finished (except S7) every entry on Switch so far, and some on 3DS too. They keep making them, I'll keep playing. It's like those commercials, "bet you can't eat just one". I find them a great way to end my day, burning a few minutes before sleep.

It's on the NA shop now so I picked it up. At $10 and change it seemed reasonable but I'm not sure how far I'll go. I was hoping for a new Picross soon, and figured this might scratch that itch, but this lacks the finesse and polish of Picross. There are some limitations already mentioned that make me luke-warm. Too bad they didn't work with Picross to make an official crossover.

@CairiB I used Google Lens on it, and it basically said "there's pudding in the fridge"...

Can you blame her for her drinking issue or her tendency to babble? She works 24 hours a day and never gets a single day off. No wonder she looses her socks all the time. At least the Nook Brats and Able Sisters get down-time (altho the Nook Brats are the ones who do the overnight construction). Poor Isabelle is there every frigging time you need her, some times she even just nods off at her desk.

throwing my comment in for Old School Musical. Totally banging retro.

For starters, I believe that grave in the trailer is nothing more than decoration, probably for whatever they'll call Halloween. On my first day, I did see a ghost across the river, but since I didn't have any means to cross it, I couldn't interact with it.

That stairway in the museum can be for a number of things: Redd's art gallery, Brewster's Roost (didn't he used to be in the museum prior to New Leaf?), or anything.

Also, I finally unlocked KK Slider, which means I have all currently available shops built. But Isabelle said today that it would be nice if there were more stores on the island, so I figure something is coming.

Brewster. that's all... well, with the coffee shop that is.

ya know, with all this pandemic stuff, Nintendo should just release it early. I mean, all the retailers already have it in their stockrooms.

I don't necessary like Funko Pop stuff, but I'd probably pick up Mr. Mime, just for the discomfort factor. I do collect Nendoroids, so I can see the allure of the Funko stuff. They're cheaper, easily available (heck, I've seen some in my local supermarket), and they tend to shadow western pop culture more than Nendoroids, making Funko Pops an easier sell. Still, just /sigh.

I certainly hope they'll figure something out. Before cloud saves were even a thing, I lost somewhere between 200-300 hours on Stardew Valley when my Switch had to go in for hardware repair. Which ended up being a hardware swap, and all progress lost on things like BoTW, Odyssey and whatever.

I've been a collector for years, long before it was fashionable, since maybe 1988ish. In my younger days, I was involved with like-minded collector groups and we traded things back and forth. But over time, I've come to regret things I've gotten rid of. In terms of video games, stuff like my original GameBoy; Atari Lynx II; a fully decked out Atari Jag with JagCD. I think video game collecting goes hand-n-hand with retro computers, and some of my stuff were Atari Falcon030; DEC VAXen and PDP-11s and other stuff of that ilk.

Of course, sometimes pragmatism needs to prevail, and especially with the larger stuff, there was simply no more room. Stuff I have now will probably remain, but are easily obtained, like Atari 2600 or VIC-20 and other Commodore stuff...

Growing old and seeing your favorite platforms die (or seeing your favorite musicians literally die; or actors; or whatever)...

I'd like to see Pikmin, as something fresh that's not a sequel for stuff that's already on the Switch. But I think it's a fairly niche game and they'd probably not wager their holiday sales on something that's not already a blockbuster, so I figure Zelda or Mario.

940 hours played. That's almost 40 days...
