While I haven't played the game beyond the demo, the review noting the sharing limitations is disappointing. Maybe such is coming via later update, but it seems a missed opportunity from the start.
Perhaps a Switch app, similar to Pokemon Home, where your Tomodachi Miis and friends' Miis can collectively meet - like with Wii's Check Me Out and Everybody Votes, but expanded. I think there's a lot to be done with the series beyond the game itself to help bring people together, and spark interest in the game and other games/apps that come from it.
Hot dog. This is a fine update. And we can give more gifts to our favorite characters, and maybe a couple of extra screens and dialogues? Yes!! Time to restart my obsession with a certain character or two. 🫠
Nintendo Music releasing Animal Crossing GCN's iconically amazing soundtrack, and a patch for ACNH's 25th, but they didn't add in GCN's soundtrack as an option to play to? Harrumph.
That's my issue, too. It's like, I'm reading the comments here and "liking" the complainers' comments, but also "liking" the praisers' comments... Because I totally get it. It's awesome to receive new games to play, but the time between drops, and often the selection offered (given Nintendo's vast library), and it's maddeningly disheartening. Like you noted, when was the last SNES update? Or worse, the last Genesis update? Here I was hoping for Sega CD or Saturn to be added, but they can't even properly support the others. It's a great service, but at the same time, it blows.
That's a great idea - I mean, just having the celestial brush strike foes would be nifty. I was looking back at its moves and so many would be amazing to play to, such as rosary. I still say let's add her to Smash now. Why wait for the next one! 🤪
Given I could never really get into Zelda 1 & 2, these would be my picks. I mean, I would love a Link to the Past remake, but I'd be so afraid they'd outsource and ruin it. I really just want the game as it's, but full screen.
Given Mario games have zero to no story, I didn't expect the movie to have such. Sounds like it's fun, which works for me! I got my story and cinematic drama experience from Project Hail Mary the other weekend, so a brainless, colorful, nostalgia-filled movie sounds perfect to me. Let's a go.
Oof. Not at the article, but the comments ganging up on another man's joy. If he wants to put tiny, non-speaking cute little Pikmin in every game he has a hand in, then why not. He's Miyamoto, the king of games.
Okay, but... Where's GCN and Wild World Animal Crossing music!?!?!? And why hasn't such been added as an option in New Horizons to play to? (I'll say this as often, and whenever I can.🤪)
Most of the alarms and sleepy sounds I can't really tolerate, as they left the background noises in. That's why I like the SMB alarms, as it seems less busy and straightforward. But I agree that the sleepy sounds aren't very... sleep inducing.
@Yoshi3
That's definitely a good pick, or even the "Family" track from Galaxy's OST, the piano version of said song.
My dream would be if Nintendo would integrate Nintendo Music with Alarmo so we could customize songs and the like. It's so dumb that they are trickling updates (slower than NSO games), and doing them as individual games and not series. Like, I could see doing individual games if they pushed updates more frequently, but as is, it should be series themes, and then let users customize tracks and such.
As a non religious person, I'll say a prayer that Oasis Management Company goes bankrupt and everyone within the company eats an extra special spiny pufferfish.
This game is keeping me up past midnight every night since launch. I was, like, trying to get Slowpoke to yawn last night as I was yawning trying to stay awake. 🤪
I'm highly against Roundup, but would totally play a game where you go around drowning every last Talking Flower in it. Laughing giddily as each wilts and withers away, silently, deadly. Nevermore.
Already bought Blue Prince (loved my brief time with it via PS+), and glad to have it on my most played console; handheld makes great sense, too, for this title. Nothing else for me from the presentation, save for maybe a mega sale down the line on a few, such as Moonlighter 2 (still haven't finished the first).

Re: He-Man's Stunning-Looking Beat 'Em Up Delayed Just Two Weeks Before Release
Snarf! Snarf! Oh, wait.
I mean, it's been 40 years, so what's a couple more weeks. 🙃
Like, @JohnnyMind, said, if a better game comes out of it, bring on the delay. I got enough to keep me busy.

Right!?! And with Duck Hunt, they could easily clone and tweak to accommodate.

Re: Classic Shmup 'Truxton' Returns After Nearly 35 Years On Switch 2
Very nice. Shmups are sorely lacking on Switch/2, so a new game, and one that's full screen, is welcomed!

That would certainly wake me up... and get the Alarmo chucked across the room!
Re: Nintendo Alarmo's Latest Update Adds A Wonderful Free Theme
No thanks! I can only imagine the horrors that await from the talking flowers.
(I'll stick with the only ONLY tolerable theme... The SMB1 theme. Please, for the love of jeebus, more NES and SNES themes, please!)
