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.
That 4K comment makes this rumour seem rather unbelievable.
Anyway, as I've already got a Switch, I'm not going to buy another one. I'd be surprised if any games were only released on a new Switch. It would be foolish for Nintendo to split up their userbase by making Switch Pro exclusive games.
It looks alright, but I'm not sold on it yet. It's not bad, but these trailers don't make it look like anything special either. The characters breaking the fourth wall could get annoying if they overdo it.
Perfect timing for me, as I reached the ending last night.
As for the argument on difficulty options, I'm usually in favour of them. But for games that are designed to be super tough such as this one, I think that giving an easy way out would detract from the overall experience.
HeartGold/SoulSilver are my favourites. There's so much extra things to do in it, and the Johto region and its native pokemon are lovely. Black 2/White 2 are my second favourites since they also have a lot of extra content in it. It's disappointing to see them down in 14th place. Platinum is the 3rd best one for me.
That looks merely alright. It does seem to be copying Pokemon a bit too much. I wish these other monster collection games would mix up the formula a bit more.
I do love the old school Tomb Raider games, but do suspect that the older PS1 era games could be tricky for new players to get into in this modern age. As I've got most of the games already on one platform or another, I'll be unlikely to grab a new collection of past games.
I think the reaction would have been much less negative if it was revealed as part of last week's presentation. But by showing off the likes of New Pokemon Snap last week and then saying that this presentation would showcase their next big major project, they gave people the wrong expectations.
That's a bit of a surprise, as 1 million seemed like such a big target. I contributed and defeated one of them, and I'm looking forward to receiving a shiny zeraora.
I'm still using my old S5, which will be affected by this. Admittedly I lost interest in Go again at the start of this year, but I always seem to come back to it eventually.
I'm not sold on this DLC yet, so I may as well watch this video. What they reveal here, along with reading what others think of the expansion, could help determine whether or not I get it.
That's a great price for it. Seems to be sold out for Europe now, kinda. The "English" option is sold out, but the "NON EU (export)" option is weirdly available. Don't think I'm eligible for that second option though.
This looks like more of the same. So those that really liked Sw/Sh are bound to enjoy this. But I don't expect it to win over many people that weren't keen on Sw/Sh.
I'm kinda surprised at the result. As hard as I battled for Team Ketchup, there was a lot of great Team Mayo players making the battles very difficult for me. Anyway, I'm so happy to be on the winning team.
It's arguably not worth it for me since I've already put a lot of hours into Future Tone, which contains the vast majority of Mega Mix songs and more. If this game had more new songs then I would have been tempted to get it.
As for songs, Hatsune Miku games generally have an excellent variety of different genres of songs, so there's something for anyone as long as you're okay with vocaloid songs. Some of my favourites that are in Mega Mix include This is the Happiness And Peace of Mind Committee, Rolling Girl, Dye, and Meteor.
For real? That's wonderful. I bought the game after the last Splatfest, so I'll be very excited to participate in this one. Also, mayonnaise is disgusting and ketchup is delicious.
I'll take this as a good opportunity to try building some more levels again. I made plenty of them on Mario Maker 1, but just never really felt like creating with this game.

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. 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.
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.
Re: Review: Nexomon: Extinction - An Interesting Pokémon Clone That Doesn't Quite Stick The Landing
That looks alright, but it does seem too similar to Pokemon instead of forming its own identity.

Re: Random: Pokémon Fans Are Worrying That Ash's Pikachu Might Soon Evolve Into Raichu
Raichu are great and underrated. I doubt it'll happen, but it'll be lovely to see Ash's Pikachu finally evolve.
Re: Stylish Murder Mystery Paradise Killer Scores September Switch Release
It looks interesting enough, but I'll need to see some reviews for this first.
Re: Rumour: New Switch Model Launching Early 2021, According To Taiwanese Newspaper
That 4K comment makes this rumour seem rather unbelievable.
Anyway, as I've already got a Switch, I'm not going to buy another one. I'd be surprised if any games were only released on a new Switch. It would be foolish for Nintendo to split up their userbase by making Switch Pro exclusive games.
Re: The Splatoon 2 Chicken VS. Egg Splatfest Is Officially Underway
Egg. Clearly the chicken had to come from an egg.
Re: The Third Eevee Evolution Vaporeon Is Now Available On The Build-A-Bear Workshop
It looks really good, and that cape suits seems perfect for it.
Re: Pokémon-Like Nexomon: Extinction Will Have 381 Monsters, And (Almost) All Have Now Been Revealed
That's a lot of designs. If the reviews are favourable then I could be tempted to pick this up.
Re: Sword And Shield Are Now The Best-Selling Pokémon Games Since Gold And Silver
Pokemon Sword/Shield was alright, but underwhelming. It just goes to show that Pokemon on the Switch was always going to sell regardless of quality.
Re: Nexomon: Extinction Gets Three New Trailers And A Confirmed Release Date
It looks alright, but I'm not sold on it yet. It's not bad, but these trailers don't make it look like anything special either. The characters breaking the fourth wall could get annoying if they overdo it.
Re: Cuphead's 'Delicious Last Course' DLC Might Be Arriving Very Soon
Perfect timing for me, as I reached the ending last night.
As for the argument on difficulty options, I'm usually in favour of them. But for games that are designed to be super tough such as this one, I think that giving an easy way out would detract from the overall experience.
Re: Red And Green Voted Most Popular Pokémon Games In Japanese Poll
HeartGold/SoulSilver are my favourites. There's so much extra things to do in it, and the Johto region and its native pokemon are lovely. Black 2/White 2 are my second favourites since they also have a lot of extra content in it. It's disappointing to see them down in 14th place. Platinum is the 3rd best one for me.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei III Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Alongside The Fifth Game
Wonderful, I'm excited to play these.
Re: Poll: Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
No. It's not a series that I've gotten into before, and the gameplay footage we've seen doesn't really appeal to me.
Re: Shiny Wailord Appears In Pokémon Sword And Shield Max Raid Battles For A Limited Time
2% chance to appear in a 5-star raid is still a very low chance. I'll be on the lookout for it, but I don't expect to find one.
Re: Pokémon-Like Nexomon: Extinction Shows Off Three Of The Game's Regions
That looks merely alright. It does seem to be copying Pokemon a bit too much. I wish these other monster collection games would mix up the formula a bit more.
Re: Rumour: Is A Tomb Raider Collection Coming To Nintendo Switch?
I do love the old school Tomb Raider games, but do suspect that the older PS1 era games could be tricky for new players to get into in this modern age. As I've got most of the games already on one platform or another, I'll be unlikely to grab a new collection of past games.
Re: Pokémon Unite, An Online Team Battle Game, Revealed For Switch And Mobile
I think the reaction would have been much less negative if it was revealed as part of last week's presentation. But by showing off the likes of New Pokemon Snap last week and then saying that this presentation would showcase their next big major project, they gave people the wrong expectations.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Trainers Reach Special Zeraora Max Raid Battle Goal
That's a bit of a surprise, as 1 million seemed like such a big target. I contributed and defeated one of them, and I'm looking forward to receiving a shiny zeraora.
Re: Can You Name The First Game These Famous Characters Appeared In?
8/15. Some of those questions were rather sneaky.
Re: Pokémon GO Is Ending Support For Older Android Devices
I'm still using my old S5, which will be affected by this. Admittedly I lost interest in Go again at the start of this year, but I always seem to come back to it eventually.
Re: 'Pokémon Presents' Live Presentation Teased For Tomorrow, 17th June
I'm not sold on this DLC yet, so I may as well watch this video. What they reveal here, along with reading what others think of the expansion, could help determine whether or not I get it.
Re: Slime-San Creator Announces Demon Turf - A New 3D Platformer Coming To Switch
The gameplay looks fine, but I'm less keen on the main character. There's a bit too much attitude for my tastes.
Re: Pokémon-Like Nexomon: Extinction Reveals All Nine Starter Monsters
Noki is my favourite there, as I'm always partial to the cute bird creatures.
This game could be great if it is it's own unique thing. I'm just worried that it'll be too similar to Pokemon.
Re: Get A Physical Copy Of Etrian Mystery Dungeon On 3DS For Just £4.99 - This Weekend Only
@okimoki Thanks. You've got a wonderful profile picture as well.
Re: Get A Physical Copy Of Etrian Mystery Dungeon On 3DS For Just £4.99 - This Weekend Only
That's a great price for it. Seems to be sold out for Europe now, kinda. The "English" option is sold out, but the "NON EU (export)" option is weirdly available. Don't think I'm eligible for that second option though.
Edit: Checked it again, and it worked this time.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Isle of Armor DLC Launches 17th June, Here's The New Trailer
This looks like more of the same. So those that really liked Sw/Sh are bound to enjoy this. But I don't expect it to win over many people that weren't keen on Sw/Sh.
Re: Visual Novel Strawberry Vinegar Serves "Cute Comedy" On Switch This Week
This looks very heartwarming
Re: Team Ketchup Wins Splatoon 2's "Bonus One-Off" Splatfest
I'm kinda surprised at the result. As hard as I battled for Team Ketchup, there was a lot of great Team Mayo players making the battles very difficult for me. Anyway, I'm so happy to be on the winning team.
Re: Review: Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix - This Digital Diva Is Perfectly At Home On Switch
It's arguably not worth it for me since I've already put a lot of hours into Future Tone, which contains the vast majority of Mega Mix songs and more. If this game had more new songs then I would have been tempted to get it.

Re: Poll: Splatoon 2's Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend - Are You Siding With Team Mayo Or Team Ketchup?
@clvr The Mayo vs Ketchup Splatfest is happening in both America and Europe.
I dislike the taste of mayo, so I'll be fighting vigorously for Team Ketchup.Plus ketchup is great because it is the perfect sauce for fish and chips.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 2's "Bonus One-Off" Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend
I'm ready to battle. I dislike mayo, so will be fighting for Team Ketchup.
Re: A "Bonus One-Off" Splatfest Will Take Place In Splatoon 2 Next Month
For real? That's wonderful. I bought the game after the last Splatfest, so I'll be very excited to participate in this one. Also, mayonnaise is disgusting and ketchup is delicious.
Re: Super Mario Maker 2's Final Major Update Arrives April 22nd, Adds World Maker Mode, Frog Suit, And Koopalings
I'll take this as a good opportunity to try building some more levels again. I made plenty of them on Mario Maker 1, but just never really felt like creating with this game.
