I can easily say that Animal Crossing has helped me through this awful year. It's pure innocence (which I take pleasure in corrupting my villagers to say unsavoury things 🤭) and charm is an antidote. I've games for almost 40 years and it's up there with the Souls games and Skyrim as my all-time favourite game and my favourite in the series.
If one game had to describe Nintendo, it would be this.
It's worth the money. Had it on my Xbox but cancelled as I just don't have to the time to play the amount of games on there, gamepass and my Switch games.
All you have to do is look at some of my old comments to see how dismissive of Switch I was. Had bought one, sold it. Bought another and it's literally my favourite gaming console. Quite happy to eat my hat and humble pie for afters.
I'm not in a wheelchair but I do have hidden physical disabilities. What I hate is we always have to be positive about having a disability. Trust me, I'm far from positive at times, it's robbed me of every physical activity I loved to do. I like my life but I don't have to like my disability. This needs to be represented more, I think.
I've gamed since I was about 8 I'm now 47
My favourite games are the Soulsborne series but I'm still a wimp with CRPG's and will happily play them on easy. Doesn't diminish my enjoyment.

Re: Custom-Made Etika Joy-Con Which Raised $10k For Charity Fell Foul Of Copyright Claim, Creator Reveals
There's some people here I really like to tell them what I think of them, but I quite like this site and don't want a perma ban.
Nintendo, just do the right thing and support this.
Re: UK Charts: Hyrule Warriors Drops 14 Places While Animal Crossing Returns To Winning Ways
Waiting on the NDF with their conspiracy theories.
So, a game falls out the top ten. Boo boo.
If you played it and liked it, what does it matter?
I don't understand some people's need to have sales figures to justify what they play.
Re: Nintendo's Latest UK Ad For Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Packed Full Of The Feels
Katsuya Eguchi created the series as a response to missing family and wanting to feel connected to them.
For how much I love this game, online is rubbish and stupid hoops to jump through.
Re: Famous Footballers Think EA Could Be Illegally Profiting From Their Names And Likenesses In FIFA

On this site? Never.....
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Sales Remain Strong As Next-Gen Systems Hit The Market

Re: Video: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Trailer Shows Us What's New In November
Only about 180 hours in and feel I'm just scratching the surface.
Through all the madness of 2020 this game has kept me losing all hope in humanity.

Re: Microsoft Has A "Very Good Relationship With Nintendo" But Isn't Making Any Promises Moving Forward
Game Pass is probably the most consumer friendly move made in this industry.
Perhaps it's always been their plan or a result of being in third place. Either way, it's gamers who win.
Re: Asphalt 9: Legends Receives Its Second Major Update On Nintendo Switch
This and Gems of War keep me from most full price games.
Re: UK Charts: FIFA 21 Goes Straight To Number One, But Only 2% Of Sales Were On Switch
A football game going to number one in a football mad country. Who'd have thought.
Until my beloved non league team, South Shields appears in a game, I'll continue with football manager games.
