That's about what I expect, and I'm not upset. If another developer getting this means we get Legends from Game Freak, I'm happy. I've always liked how Pokemon had been willing to explore spin offs and new ideas.
I mean, the cheaper the better. It's still cheaper than PS Plus which I mostly use for 1 or 2 games online, and haven't played a free monthly release in ages. At least for this I'm comfortable with up to $20 annually for the set of good games. (Mostly because I was a week away from buying most of them on the Wii U eShop, so this is really a cost savings for me.)
Yeah that's already what I had expected them to be doing, but I apreciate @Anti-Matter giving me some more terminology to properly describe what they're doing.
I still play it. I've played every few months since release and jusy picked up the Octo Expansion and have been really enjoying that. A buddy of mine recently got Splatoon 2 and we play that. Mostly co-op but it's still a good game. I'll be picking up 3 at launch, which isn't something I do for most games now due to my backlog.
This is great! As someone who just upgraded my Starfox 64 on Wii U, this couldn't have come at a better time so I don't double dip. And having Banjo is great. These are two consoles I missed out on back in the day so this justifies NSO more to me.
@RabidCanuck You're correct, but it appears that the costume is meant to be Builder Mario from the Mario Maker spinoffs, instead of the original red/blue costume.
I had one more swan song with Super Mario Maker 2 before I sold it. Such a good premise, but such a slog finding great levels that use its best features. I've been back to Splatoon 2, and recently picked up Spiritfarer on sale.
The option isn't listed, but I collect games to be able to look at something and think of the years of good memories associated with them. All of my games are ones I would/intend to play again, so if a game is done for me, I'll let it go. That being said, games like Uncharted and Epic Mickey get replayed more than Wii Sports Resort, but there's no way I'm giving that up.
Can't download the game garage demo and when canceled it leaves the spinning gray icon on my home menu. I was able to try redownloading and it still failed, but I could delete the icon this time around
It's fine. Future games will look more like sword and shield, so at least they are doing something new while they have the chance. Plus if it looked EXACTLY like Legends, we wouldn't be as excited for the next game.
That being said, if most problems can be solved by mashing the A button, it doesn't seem as big of a problem to me. Worse games have still been loved with bigger offenses. @cyberpunk
This was the 2nd game I had played (after Ocarina 3D), and I thought it was a joy even then. It was a bit too hand holdy in the beginning but I couldn't recognize it for awhile due to how unfamiliar I was with the series at the time. I think Nintendo does a decent job about making games for the future fan, rather than solely their current base. And we're all the better for their weird experiments.
Wingspan. It was the trailer for this switch port that taught me about the original board game. I've been playing the board game for months, but I'm glad to finally have that digital version too
I found the board game because of this trailer and I'm glad I did. It's a great game and really helped out with knowing how to play this. The controls are a little finnicky but the presentation is great. I do kind of miss the ability to see my cards next to my opponents' cards, but being able to play online with others is very welcome.
I recommend using flocking or predator birds to tuck cards like Swainson's Hawk.
I saw this on one of the Indie showings a few months back and loved the look. I bought the board game a few months back and love it. You can technically play the board game solo against a "computer" but this might be easier.

Re: Gallery: Sakurai Shares New Screenshots Of The Final DLC Fighter For Smash Bros. Ultimate
An excellent fighter to end on. Glad they revealed some info about the Fighters Poll, so it at least can make us feel like people were considered.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The "Cloud Versions" Of Kingdom Hearts On Switch?
This doesn't really account for the "I-love-the-series-but-already-have-multiple -copies-of-every-game, so-3-feels-like-too-much" crowd, like myself.

@WoomyNNYes AFTER the subway?! Well dang I need to go finish whatever this is! This game is full of surprises!

Re: The Forgotten City - Cloud Version Is Out Today On Switch
I actually noted this down during some indie E3 presentation but was lamenting it wasn't for a console I own. Look how the turn tables!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Week? (August 28th)
Always back to Overwatch and looking to pare down my collection, so I'm playing a few older games to see if they still do it for me.
Unless I can find some good Super Mario Maker 2 levels, whose to say what will happen to the game.
Re: Mini Review: Townscaper - A Peaceful, Pretty, City-Building Plaything
I definitely liked Bad North (and their great update), so maybe I'll pick this up somewhere down the line.
Re: Nintendo Multiplayer Mayhem Sale Discounts Splatoon, Mario Party And Much More (North America)
It's worth pointing out that the Splatoon 2 DLC is also on sale for anyone who hasn't picked it up. I just did
Re: Should I Buy A Switch OLED? Which Nintendo Switch Is Best For Me?
The real question is if it fits my current switch case.
Re: Best Tony Hawk Games Of All Time
But what about Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure that used the same engine? Toys for Bob worked on that one. This is the important question.

Is it translated Iwata Asks or more of a biography?
Re: A Kid Icarus: Uprising Sequel Would Be "Difficult", Says Masahiro Sakurai
Maybe after Sakurai spends a few years resting between projects can he come back to this. The man is never allowed to pause.
Re: Genesis Noir Is Bringing Stylish Cosmic Jazz To Switch Next Week
I had seen this announcement and always kept it on my list. Glad I don't have to figure out Steam for this anymore.
Re: Poll: Do You Like The Chibi Art Style In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl?
Plus, the difference in style between the battles and overworld is analogous to the original.

Re: Pyra and Mythra Are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Newest DLC Fighters
I thought it was a solid direct, and I'm glad to see more female fighters (especially ones that aren't avatar swaps like Wii Fit or Villager).
Re: Nintendo Reveals Splatoon 3, Coming To Switch In 2022
If I can get 4 Pokémon games on DS, I can get 2 Splatoon games on Switch. I'm excited for this IP to actually grow bigger than the jump from 1 to 2.
