I'll pass on it for now. It looks fine, but there's too many other games that I'm more eager to play. I did like Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but wasn't blown away by either of them.
I liked Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but didn't think they were that great or anything. As Bravely Default 2 sounds like it's playing it safe and being more of the same, I'll pass on this for now as there's other games I'm more eager to play.
They look interesting, though it's hard to tell from trailers if the story and writing will be any good. Anyway, these games are ones to watch out for.
Long sword and great sword are fun, but I've never been keen on the hunting horn. It's great in multiplayer to buff everyone, but I tend to play solo. Hammer and insect glaive are my favourites.
Cloud gaming isn't something that I'm willing to get into right now, but I'm having a lot of fun with the non-cloud version of Hitman 3 on another platform. Glad to see that this game is a success for IOI.
Team Super Mushroom. Invincibility wears off too quick, whereas the super mushroom let's go be tall forever, at least until you get hit by a gomba or stub your toe or something.
D/P were excellent back in the DS days. I'm not optimistic about the next mainline pokemon games (whether they're D/P remakes or something else), but I'll hold off judgement until we see the games.
I'm interested, but £50 seems a bit steep for what's likely to be a fairly short on-rails shooter. If any retailers are selling copies at closer to £40, then I'd probably bite.
I've not payed much attention to their recent videos, since I'm planning on buying the game regardless. That way, the new things are more of a surprise once I get the game.
With that said, I'm not one to say no to a livestream or a demo.
With the long wait between the announcement and new info, I am concerned that it could be going through development hell. Hopefully it'll be as great as the first two games when it releases, but I am worried about it.
The first demo wasn't that great, to put it mildly. But they did respond to the feedback and addressed most of the major issues, so hopefully this demo will be much better.
I enjoyed the first game back in the old days. Glad to see this series getting talked about again, as I'm always up for more 3D platforming collectathons.
I wouldn't be surprised if these weren't available for purchase after the limited run. It's not the first time Nintendo has done this, for instance there was Zelda Four Swords on 3DS.
I'm skipping this collection, but if they sell Sunshine individually then I'd be tempted to get it.
Even if they're easy to catch, I can still imagine they'll be tough to obtain. It involves battling 3 dynamaxed pokemon beforehand, then presumably we'll have to battle the dynamaxed legendary as well. Plus they're probably rare, so will be tricky to find. And solo players will have to endure the AI teammates, who will be fairly useless if they're like the ones in the base game.
As someone who bought a Switch and Splatoon 2 after the "final" Chaos vs Order Splatfest, I'm loving that they're still doing them. Team Trick for me, since I'm in a mischievous mood.
I was tempted to pick this up as well, but decided to hold off for now since I'm busy with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. Might pick it up in the future.
It was fun, though I admittedly didn't put that many hours into this game. Course creation is more fiddly in the sequel, which put me off creating that many levels.
That looks alright, but it does seem too similar to Pokemon instead of forming its own identity.
The lack of multiplayer caught my eye. If it means I can catch all the creatures inside the game without the hassle of trading with others (I assume that's true since starters are available in the wild), then that's a big plus for me.

Re: TY The Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue HD Gets A New Switch Launch Trailer
It looks fine. The first one was more of a traditional 3D collectathon, and I do love collectathons, so not sure if I'll like the second one as much.
Re: Later Alligator Is Streaming Tomorrow To Celebrate The Launch, With Guest Stars
Neil Cicierega is great. Brodyquest is my favourite of his stuff. Smallbu's Baman & Piderman series was also fairly good for the time.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Is Getting A Soundtrack CD Featuring Over 100 Songs
The newest version of Mizutsune's theme was wonderful in the demo. Now the big question remains: will they also remix Khezu's iconic theme?
Re: Some History About ILCA, The Japanese Studio Working On The Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes
If they helped out with Yakuza 0 and Nier Automata, then they're alright in my books.
Re: Poll: Bravely Default II Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I'll pass on it for now. It looks fine, but there's too many other games that I'm more eager to play. I did like Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but wasn't blown away by either of them.
Re: The Pokémon Company Reveals Top 30 Pocket Monsters, According To Japanese Twitter Poll
That poll has a distinct lack of Moltres, or any bird-like legendary for that matter.
Re: Review: Bravely Default II - An Excellent Old-School JRPG That's Happy To Play It Safe
I liked Bravely Default and Bravely Second, but didn't think they were that great or anything. As Bravely Default 2 sounds like it's playing it safe and being more of the same, I'll pass on this for now as there's other games I'm more eager to play.
Re: Blizzard Arcade Collection Announced For Nintendo Switch, Out Today On The eShop
The Lost Vikings is great. I used to play a lot of the GBA port.
Re: After 33 Years, Famicom Detective Club Is Finally Coming To The West
They look interesting, though it's hard to tell from trailers if the story and writing will be any good. Anyway, these games are ones to watch out for.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Splatoon 3, Coming To Switch In 2022
It does feel too soon, but 2022 is a long way away. I'll probably be eager for more Splatoon by then.
Re: Video: 11 Great 3DS Games Overshadowed By The Nintendo Switch
I still play my 3DS from time to time. Some day I'd like to find the time to play Persona Q2, Monster Hunter Stories, and Etrisn Odyssey Nexus.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Developer Playtonic Games Teases New Reveal Coming "Soon"
The Yooka-Laylee games were quite fun. I'd like for their next game to be a 3D platformer.
Re: Capcom Reveals The Most Used Weapon In The Monster Hunter Rise Demo
Long sword and great sword are fun, but I've never been keen on the hunting horn. It's great in multiplayer to buff everyone, but I tend to play solo. Hammer and insect glaive are my favourites.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Become First Entries Since Gold And Silver To Surpass 20 Million Sales
Pokemon sells, and it was on a console that has sold like hotcakes. These games were always going to do well regardless of quality.
Re: Hitman 3 Recovers Its Development Costs Within A Week
Cloud gaming isn't something that I'm willing to get into right now, but I'm having a lot of fun with the non-cloud version of Hitman 3 on another platform. Glad to see that this game is a success for IOI.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying The Cloud Version Of Hitman 3 On Nintendo Switch?
Hitman is great, but I don't want to deal with the issues from cloud gaming. I'm picking it up on PS4 instead.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Hopes To Share An Update About Bayonetta 3 At Some Point In 2021
Hope the game ends up being wonderful, though this long wait without any new trailers has me worried that they could be struggling behind the scenes.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend, Pick Your Power-Up
Team Super Mushroom. Invincibility wears off too quick, whereas the super mushroom let's go be tall forever, at least until you get hit by a gomba or stub your toe or something.
Re: Can You Name These Pokémon?
10/12. Dartrix and Lapras were where I messed up.
Re: Rumour: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes Will Be Revealed For Switch Next Month
D/P were excellent back in the DS days. I'm not optimistic about the next mainline pokemon games (whether they're D/P remakes or something else), but I'll hold off judgement until we see the games.
Re: New Pokémon Snap Pricing, File Size And Other Key Details Revealed
I'm interested, but £50 seems a bit steep for what's likely to be a fairly short on-rails shooter. If any retailers are selling copies at closer to £40, then I'd probably bite.
Re: New Pokémon Snap Scores April Release Date On Switch, Watch The New Trailer Here
That's an impressive trailer. It's packed full of charm, and looks great visually.
Re: Sega To Share "Something Special" In Its First Live Stream Of 2021
It's been a little while now since the Dreamcast was released, so they're probably getting ready to announce their new next gen console.
Re: Random: Someone At Nintendo Keeps Writing The Word "Embiggen" In Scripts
I always assumed it was a real word. Didn't know that The Simpsons made it up.
Re: Niantic Is Giving Eight Lucky Pokémon Go Players The Chance To Be An In-Game Character
I'm a big fan of the legendary birds, so that no legendaries restriction is a tough one for me.
Guess I gotta figure out who my fourth, fifth, and sixth favourite 1st gen pokemon are.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise "Digital Event" Promises New Details And Reveals On January 7
I've not payed much attention to their recent videos, since I'm planning on buying the game regardless. That way, the new things are more of a surprise once I get the game.
With that said, I'm not one to say no to a livestream or a demo.
Re: Top Hat Studios Issues Statement Regarding Demands To Censor Sense - A Cyberpunk Ghost Story
First I've heard of this game, but it sounds interesting.
Re: Capcom To Share "Brand-New Information" About Monster Hunter Rise This Month
I forgot that a demo was arriving this month. That's going to be fun.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3's Development Is "Going Very Well"
With the long wait between the announcement and new info, I am concerned that it could be going through development hell. Hopefully it'll be as great as the first two games when it releases, but I am worried about it.
Re: "Steamy" Otome Visual Novel Bustafellows Is Coming To Switch Next Year
Looks good. I ought to play more otome games.
Re: Random: Miyamoto Confirms That He Is, In Fact, Mario And Luigi's Father
These kinds of utterly random and funny trinkets of news are always so uplifting.
Re: Feature: What Can We Expect From Pokémon’s 25th Anniversary?
I've got low hopes, but who knows. Perhaps they'll amaze us.
Re: You Can Now Download Bravely Default II's 'Final Demo' From The Switch eShop
The first demo wasn't that great, to put it mildly. But they did respond to the feedback and addressed most of the major issues, so hopefully this demo will be much better.
Re: Random: The NSO Icon On The Switch Home Menu Is Driving Some Users Crazy
Yeah, it does look a bit tacky.
Re: It Looks Like Kadabra Can Finally Return To The Pokémon Trading Card Game
Good move, glad he had a change of heart. Kadabra was clearly a parody of him, as is seen from Kadabra's Japanese name.
Re: Soapbox: Here's How I'd Fix The Pokémon Series
A lot more exploration, and lots more side content are the two things I'd want to see improved most in the next pokemon generation.
Re: Nintendo Wants To Know Whether You Prefer 2D Or 3D Zelda Games
3D. The 2D games are fun and all, but I do enjoy the 3D ones much more.
Re: A Remaster Of TY The Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue Is In The Works For Consoles
I enjoyed the first game back in the old days. Glad to see this series getting talked about again, as I'm always up for more 3D platforming collectathons.
Re: Poll: Splatoon 2's Spooky Splatfest Is Underway, Which Side Are You Fighting For?
Team Trick, since I was in a mischievous mood when I voted.
Re: Hitman 3 Is Coming To Switch, Just Don't Try To Play This One Offline
I'm a big fan of the recent Hitman games, but not keen on cloud gaming. I'll just play Hitman 3 elsewhere.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Your Switch More In Docked Or Handheld Mode?
Nearly always docked. I usually play at home (even before the pandemic), so I may as well have it on the big screen.
Re: NPD Analyst Thinks Limited-Time 3D Mario Games Will Be Sold Individually On Switch
I wouldn't be surprised if these weren't available for purchase after the limited run. It's not the first time Nintendo has done this, for instance there was Zelda Four Swords on 3DS.
I'm skipping this collection, but if they sell Sunshine individually then I'd be tempted to get it.
Re: Legendary Pokémon Found In Sword And Shield's Crown Tundra DLC Have A 100% Catch Rate
Even if they're easy to catch, I can still imagine they'll be tough to obtain.

Re: Professor Layton Dev Level-5 Has No Plans For Future Games Outside Of Japan, Says Report
Sad times. They've released some great games over the years, with Professor Layton being a favourite of mine.
Re: Get Ready For A Spooky Splatoon 2 Splatfest - Team Trick Vs. Team Treat
As someone who bought a Switch and Splatoon 2 after the "final" Chaos vs Order Splatfest, I'm loving that they're still doing them. Team Trick for me, since I'm in a mischievous mood.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter To Be Revealed Tomorrow, 1st October
The last character was from Arms, so it makes sense to have a character without arms this time around, i.e. Rayman.
Re: Uncover 423 Different Types Of Panties In Gal*Gun Returns When It Arrives Next Year
Is the gameplay any good? I'd be up for playing it if it's decent enough.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Is The Best-Selling 3DS Game On Amazon Right Now
I was tempted to pick this up as well, but decided to hold off for now since I'm busy with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. Might pick it up in the future.
Re: More Than 20 Million Courses Have Now Been Uploaded In Super Mario Maker 2
It was fun, though I admittedly didn't put that many hours into this game. Course creation is more fiddly in the sequel, which put me off creating that many levels.
