@SuperEndriu : they did.
Why didn't the reviewer use them? Nobody knows...

This game literally has everything the previous versions had (including the original anime visuals), plus it has some nice extras, like those live-action models.
You can freely choose between them.

This review is a 3/10, not the game.

It's becoming harder and harder to take a NintendoLife review seriously.

You gave a 5 dollar game, where you can push different colored balls and do nothing else (which gets crazy boring after 5 minutes), an 8. (Joke of the year?)

It's also common knowledge that "if it's an ugly indie game, it's an 8" here.

We all also know that if there's any sign of nudity - NL will judge that game from a high horse (while never having any problem with games showing violence, murder etc.).

I also get that you despise VNs for some reason.
You gave Kotodama a 3 or 4, which is just as ridiculous. (I'm 20 hours into that game and enjoy it more than any ugly 8-bit indie you've ever given an 8 or higher.)

I honestly feel sorry for people making their decisions about buying or not buying a game based on your reviews.
I really do.
They miss out on good ones and may waste a lot of money on worthless ones.

Pre-ordered the Grisaia Trilogy from Japan (since it's not available physically anywhere else)...

I hope they'll ship it soon.

There are more '90s inspired point and click games now than in the '90s...

My Nintendo Re-tro-wards

@Meei Thank you for the tip.
Just did the same (with Ace Attorney Trilogy and Clannad, for which I won't wait any longer to appear in the West as a Collector's Edition as promised in July...).

@Meei Will there be a physical edition of the trilogy outside of Japan?

@Ventilator Wow, seems like an awesome site, collecting digital and physical sales, plus indicating if a price is the lowest ever.
Bookmarked it, will use it a lot.
Thank you!

Oh for crying out loud Nintendo, prevent the abuse of eShop offers already!

Those games that are on sale more than 4 times a year, should automatically have their price reduced permanently!

The eShop is borderline unusable as it is.
Enough is enough!

@Shiro28 The nextgen will be a native 4K console generation.
There is no way even a revised Switch could run AA ports from those.

The Switch 2 will probably be able to do that - many years from now.

@m8e3point1415 Wow, that's good to know!
I'm not waiting for 4K games (that will probably be Switch 2), because even the PS4 Pro can't do that and it's not realistic to expect more than a 40-50% performance upgrade in a mid-generation machine (especially with Nintendo).

Stable 720p 60Hz in handheld and 1080p 60Hz in docked mode would be enough for me. (While hopefully maintaining the longer battery life of the V2 Switches.)

@fafonio I live in Hungary (not exactly the most advanced country in the world) and we have a minimum of 30mbps speed internet available in 80-90% of the country.
I think delay is the key word in making or breaking a cloud gaming service.

I actually can't wait for xCloud to come to Switch. We would finally have the sort of AAA games we'd never have a chance otherwise to come out on the Switch.

Oh how stupid I was!
I actually thought they'd remake them with HD visuals, not give us the same games we played 25 years ago...

Absolutely no buy this way (and at this price).

What a shame.

@Ventilator Sure. I use this site for comparing eShop prices:

https://eshop-prices.com/

(Actually, not the main site, as it's a huge info grid. I rather bookmarked my wishlisted games on the site in my browser and I just have to refresh those pages from time to time. But this is just a technicality.)

This page has also helped me save a bit of money by comparing the eShop prices by countries, using a common currency.

The page you referred to, howewer, also has price history, which could be an immensely useful feature for me about predicting next sales. Thank you again for that.

I hope they'll release a Switch Pro (preferably before the nextgen consoles come out), which will be suitabe for those who are on the fence about nextgen vs Switch.

Switch is the ultimate console, it should be treated so in every possible way.

@Ventilator Thanks for the info!
I have a site that lists the eShop prices of the games (where I regularly check the ones on my wishlist), but my problem is that I don't know most of the games.
And since I usually buy games at reduced prices, I could find some unknown gems at any sale - if there'd be a list of all the current ones.

@Ventilator I wish this site would list these non-Thursday sales.
Since I buy a lot of games, games with a reduced price is in the top 2 priority for me (next to the new releases).

It's great to read other articles, too, but this information is sadly missing here.

Constantly making these newly discounted games out of the hundreds already on the offers list is really, really hard and time consuming.

@Ventilator Wait for Thursday, that's the designated eShop day for new releases and new discounts.

Though not the only day, I just discovered yesterday that all the Nekopara games were on a sale (and they weren't on last Thursday), so anything can happen, it seems.

(I'm hoping for a FIFA 20 sale!)

I watched the new Digimon game trailer and couldn't help but think, wow, that's how a similar adventure game can also be?!

The story looked fresh, clearly aimed at a more mature audience.
I mean, the average video gamer is around 30 years old now.
Yet, we become 10 years old (and get treated as such) by every.
single.
Pokemon.
game.

For me, that formula seems way too tired by now.

I have never played a Digimon game in my life (while played all Pokemon mainstream games) - but I think it's time for a change.

Why not just publish Persona 5 for the Switch?

I think I checked the game size once on the eShop.
It was only a fracture of a PS2 game...

I mean, 15 years have passed since that era and they publish games that don't even reach PS2 standards?!

There's no excuse for that. And people still wonder why platformers are dead on this console generation...

Now I'm really glad I've already bought it.

This game is insanely fun. It's so bad, it's actually good!

English translation was probably made by Google translator, in-game situations and conversations sometimes make absolutely no sense.
Your character needs to get upgraded (like in Sims) on a daily basis.
Women are real actresses (not drawn manga girls) and they are dubbed in their own language! (So, a Japanese girl speaks Japanese by a[nother] voice actress!)
Sometimes (like, when "you" open the door), you can see the shadow of the camera, too!
It's hilarious!

Other than that, the game is as erotic as you expect a dating sim to be. But finally not with seemingly underage cartoon girls!

It's weird, it's unique, it's funny (not always intentionally)!
I love it!

I wish there'd be more games like this on Switch!

@StevenG : I have a lot of GB/GBC/GBA carts.
NeoGeo was never sold in my country and GameGear was never big. I don't have any games for the former (I don't even know any games for that system) and I only have a couple of GG games which are, in my opinion, terrible to play and aren't worth a new system to play on anyway.

Those who want a system to play those non- Nintendo games on, will now have a very good chance, too, yes.

Has anyone tried the new Digimon game? How is it?

I've never been into that series so I know nothing about it but the story looked far more interesting than Pokemon, based on the trailer in the eShop..

I'm sold. Will it come in physical format?

I have the GBA SP AGS-101 and a Gamecube with a Gameboy Player so I'll pass but this looks awesome for anybody who doesn't own those two pieces of hardware (which would likely cost around the same).

@JaxonH : Stella Glow was one of my favorite 3DS games!
I wouldn't play it again on the Switch because there are so many excellent games and I don't have infinite time but I would surely buy a sequel!

I pre-ordered and already tried A Winter's Daydream.

It has the worst saving system I've ever seen in a visual novel - as in, it doesn't have any...

It also doesn't have voices.
Of course, the latter is understandable at that low price point.

So far, it doesn't have choices or branches, either.

Apart from that, it's quite enjoyable and I really like some of the background music.

I bought many worse games for 5 euros.

I remember trying both on 3DS.
While they apparently share some roots, the first game (Legend of Legacy) wasn't much fun to play.
The second game was much better on the 3DS so I guess it's much better on the Switch, too.

I actually bought the Switch for FIFA. It was a good choice since the other console versions had been plagued by the built-in cheating system for years and I'd had it enough on X1. The Switch versions were better in this aspect and they also had a much more fun gameplay in my opinion.

To this day, 18 and 19 sit on top of my Switch library with 1500+ hours in each.

For me, it's infuriating that EA effectively killed FIFA on Switch with this updated roster called "FIFA 20 Legacy Edition". For the first time in 7 years, I didn't buy the newest FIFA.
What a shame.

On a side note: for those who complain about the series being the same every year - it's not.
Obviously, the Switch FIFA 20 is identical to the 19 (minus kits and roster updates) but the non-Legacy Editions are different each year.
If you don't know the difference, you are probably not interested in the game or you're just not a very good player.
Also, every iteration has live effects, both in Online Divisions and FUT which reflect the real football games played every week during the whole season.

I once worked at a football club as an online commentary and my boss also wanted me to manage his webpage during the summer. He told me how much he'll pay for that.
I did both those things.
We didn't have a contract in writing.
He never paid me anything.
Lesson learned.

(Also, cases like this belong to a court, not the social media.)

I'm only interested in one game in this list.
I guess I like different games than most people.

1000 people worked on the game and it still looks worse than Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii 9 years ago?
Huh...

Any two dollar stylus will be fine to use on the Switch since it has the same capacitive screen as most smartphones.
(Do not try to use the 3DS's plastic stylus on it, though, since that's only usable on a resistive touch screen.)

Way too expensive for a controller without analogue sticks.
On the other hand, drifting issues will surely not happen with this one.

There's no need for a review. This is not a new game, just a roster update.
(This is not a Switch-related insult, though, these "Legacy Edition" roster updates for full price are painfully common in EA Land..)

It's a shame, though. The Switch version of FUT online was the least infected of the built-in cheating system that had been plaguing the other console versions for years.

Well, goodbye fun, goodbye FIFA!
I'm not buying those other versions because the cheating there is ridiculous - and I'm certainly not gonna pay that much for a roster update on Switch.

It's too bad. This was the only fun version of FIFA left and EA killed that, too...

• EA killed FIFA on Switch. Full price for an updated roster patch? Hahaha, no, thank you!
• I pre-ordered DQ XI - but it will only arrive next week, just like most Friday-released games. Where I live, even the local video game stores rarely receive those games in time. I hate Friday release dates with a burning passion.
• Will pre-order A Winter's Daydream soon. If I remember correctly (I might not), this one didn't have a pre-order sale last week but since now it does, I won't think about buying it any longer. Thank you, publisher! Good job!

Is this the same mobile port as on the 3DS or will this one finally be a decent console game?

(I don't hold my breath. Garfield comic strips are world class but video games are another world..)

I'm sorry but the pricing is not clear to me.
Will the expansion pack alone (without the actual game) cost 50 dollars?
So the game plus the DLC would cost, like, over 100?

Is this the same price as on the other consoles?

I'd be glad to buy the expansions but certainly not at that price.
At that price, I'd rather buy Civ V or a complete package of I-IV. They should release those older games, too, they're awesome.

An inferior product only an AAA game price away from the real Switch console?
No, thank you.

@Snakesglowcaps Thank you!
That price is a bit steep so I'll stay on the X1X for the Star Wars fun.
They did an incredible work with the enhanced backwards compatible games! You should try them!

It's a bit ironic that I use the so-called "most powerful console" primarily for prevgen and retro gaming but they are immense fun and the enhanced games look better than ever!

@Snakesglowcaps I only asked a simple question. You took the time to correct me (incorrectly) but didn't bother answering my question.
Thank you for being totally unhelpful.

OG Xbox Star Wars games on Xbox One X (with enhanced 4K visuals) cost 990 HUF (~3.2 USD) each in my country.
How much is this one on the Switch?

@outsider83 Or Shao Khan beating you in 3.5 seconds with unbeatable combos... Ah, good times.

I remember buying Mortal Kombat for the Nintendo DS to be able to play MK on the road - and then selling it the next day because difficulty was that frustrating...

Thankfully, the PS Vita version of 9(?) is among the bests so I can now play MK anytime. (I didn't like X because it looked too brutal to me so I won't buy 11 for the Switch anytime soon..)

Mortal Kombat bosses were infuriatingly cheap, too.

So, why haven't we had a Sailor Moon game for ages now, dear Bandai Namco...?

I don't know about other countries but in mine (Hungary), you pay the price difference of one AAA game and you can buy the real Switch with the full functionality.

As for me, I'd think about buying the Lite as a second Switch console if it was ~125-150 pounds but with its current price (and possible controller drifting problems), I see absolutely no reason to buy an inferior product.

I missed the humor in that trailer somehow.
Weird.

I'd rather take out the trash than download it.

@Xelha That's obviously a fake card.
Just like 90% of micro SD cards on Ebay.

There are two important rules of buying memory cards:
1. They should be a well-known brand.
2. Only buy them from trustworthy places.
