@BAN I came here to say the same thing. FF was fine, but when they announced it they gave no lead up explanation about how it was a spinoff or about multiplayer. The trailer just said "In the Metroid Prime Universe" and never explained who the characters were. Blast Ball was teased as a "standalone" game earlier, so people already were drawing Metroid comparisons and contrasts and generally thought it was worse Rocket League. I think the marketing communication definitely killed any chance of success. (Also the 3DS' online infrastructure versus how the Switch worked later)

Ever Oasis was always underrated. It'd be great if they brought the series back on a bigger screen.

I think the ranges on how many full price games you buy in a year are too broad. I might buy 1 full price game a year, but not remotely close to 5, and I think that is better information than assuming I'm purchasing full price every 2ish months. It could be a typed response question and then plot the answers.

Looks like there are ally icons for Miguel and Hector, so it seems they'll fight alongside you too.

This was never on the Wii U virtual console, as the header says.

The Streetpass Mii Plaza games. I had picked up all of them before the eShop shut down and enjoyed the original 4. Now I'm using coins to check out the Fishing and Stock Market games.

I'm ready for another Ocarina if done right, since it's been just as long between the N64 and 3DS remake, as it is between the 3DS remake and today.

So they're not doing it every 5 years or anything.

Definitely needs to be a DS game since we don't actively have a way to play those on modern systems. I think with the mouse on Switch 2 we might almost be there.

Finally some good news to bring me back to OW. Glad so much is being put out at once.

Is this meant to be a standalone device, or does it need internet connection to stream games?

Feels super rational to me.

I'm definitely not a fan of the game key method here, but at least it seems that it will allow you to lend a physical game to others and they can download the extra data to play as many times as you want. I can still sell this if I tire of a game.

With code-in-box games, those are single use, and would require you to do the whole game share lending way.

Besides, this is what they've been doing on the Switch 1 for years with the game compilations, where only one game is on the card and the other has to be downloaded in an update. They just gave it a snappy new name.

I would like to be able to search the DLC for games that I own.

As long as it still has motion options, that's great. Then I can still play it on the go, just like Odyssey and 3D All Stars.

Wingspan owl has entered the chat.

It's not free to play until it has been free to play. This game is just $30 at the moment.

Congrats to everyone who also just held out and waited until the free to play game actually became free. We did it!

@Dm9982 I definitely like the idea of an anti-tera type move to make it strategic on when you transform.

I predict it'll be a super effective move against an opponent, or possibly that it randomly pulls type from other learned moves (like Sleep Talk). Based on absolutely no sources whatsoever.

@Princess_Lilly

When it was revealed, Gameloft announced it as a free to play title with early access, claiming it would be free to play in 2023.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/04/disney-dreamlight-valley-is-a-free-to-play-life-sim-thats-coming-to-switch-in-2023

Surprised that it's becoming free before Dreamlight Valley, but no complaints.

I'm interested in both of them, but announcing that they will be free dissuaded me from paying for either of them.

These are pretty good, not gonna lie.

Farewell, old friend.

I'm hoping this will make it easier to play in or host local competitions or game nights.

While I will only get this when the Side Order debuts, it would be nice to be able to get to the tableturf battles quicker.

Nice! I enjoyed Shield and I'm looking forward to diving into this more this weekend.

One can only dream!! Fingers crossed!

Good, glad to have more free content. If only they had a frisbee golf mode too like Wii Sports Resort.

This is such a good lineup. Maple and Rock Rock will be great to play on switch

Haven't played her in awhile since they sadly removed freeze, but I've been enjoying Sojourn a lot in her stead.

I'm curious if this game has mixed multiplayer like Overcooked 2, where multiple people can be on one system and play online with multiple people on other consoles.

I always hate it when games like Smash bros limit online multiplayer to one people per system.

@ZapNCrap Honestly, surprised that these comments give a pretty diverse range of people's favorites, which, I guess, means that they're designed pretty well.

No matter, gives me more time to play splatzones and tower!

Honestly it's the DLCs that are making it for me. I want to own a lot of these, but I love the idea of trying things I may not normally buy originally.

Even the way Nintendo allows the new Mario Kart tracks to be played online for free is pretty pro-consumer, by not segregating half the player base into different lobbies.

Back to the Animal Crossing grind between matches of Turf War in Splatoon 3 and Overwatch 2.

Glad they put Assault mode maps in the Arcade so I can still play them.

Some of the benefits are how they reorganized the open and team queues, so you can still get some of that classic OW1 action before role queues began.

Enjoying the new heroes, but only playing because they retracted their phone number requirement.

I'm not sure I'm sold on the new Bastion just yet, but I'm sure I'll come around. Same as I felt with Symmetra ages ago.

Glad to see Over the Alps getting some more love and publicity. I always appreciate these lists to help discover new titles.

This is a phenomenal series that I got into way too late, but that did bless me with the ability to buy them all as soon as I needed to experience another.

Sadly the prices went up for some of the 3DS games, but I either saved or waited til they were on sale. I can only hope they do a compilation some day on a new system and draw a crowd back.

Some more Splatoon 3 and finally decorating my island in Animal Crossing.

Finally! Heck yeah.

Good, glad to see them change it, but I still would not play if I had to provide that additional information for a game I bought years ago on a disc. Still looking forward to the title, but I'll give it a week so this goes into effect and the DDoS attacks settle down.

Hijacking this rollercoaster of a post to rally the troops and request Picross 3D and its sequel be ported to Switch.

I'd be looking at 100 hours of playtime, no sweat.

Honestly, it's nice to see how new developers are able to establish and make connections in the industry. I'm only aware of Fox's work, but it's good to see young blood working with the old guard.

Excited for this, but still waiting on the free release.

Over the Alps deserves some recognition in my opinion. I've also been very curious about "Hundred Days - Winemaking Simulator" if anyone has opinions on that.

@Immovablegamer6669 mostly Megaman but with different movement mechanics. Unlike Megaman, my deaths never felt cheap and I felt like I always had control of my character.

Well that's a shame. That was my favorite mode. Well, at least OW2 will get me back into the game. Hoping for more new heroes.

I think I remember them working on the world design for BOTW, which was phenomenal. Hope they keep up the good work.

Wii, and I miss its automatic drift option. It didn't provide a boost or benefit to others, but was so helpful in allowing inexperienced or new players to play with confidence.
