The demo has been quite a bit of fun so far. I'll definitely keep this on my radar.

I played it a bit a few years ago and the returned to in on another console where I got a fair bit further along on the story. Might be a bit too hard for these old fingers and my poor reflexes.

I enjoyed fiddling around with the demo, but I think I'll wait for a sale on this one.

Excellent. I've been looking for a reason to play through this one again.

The typo of "3:39:987" made this article's conclusion of "3:55" as "the next milestone" a bit confusing on the first read.

It was a pretty good game with a fun little story and interesting characters and relatively straightforward RPG elements. And I do like a dancing Bowser!

There was one spot that I never thought I could have figured out and I didn't have the patience/time to do it on my own, however.

Shin'en makes some great games and offers them at a reasonable price so I might just pick it up to support them.

I thoroughly enjoyed Art of Balance and Jett Rocket on Wii; Nano Assault Neo and Fast Racing Neo on the WiiU; and the Touryst on Switch.

No real issues for me. I looked online about 20 minutes after they were available and I sat in the queue for a bit and didn't get one. Near the end of the day I thought I would just head into the local GameStop (soon to be rebranded back to EBGames here in Canada) and I pre-ordered the Mario Kart bundle without a problem.

Definitely a surprise Zelda gem for me when I picked it up on the WiiU as I had never played it on GameCube.

I walked into the local GameStop at about 4pm local time and was able to pre-order the bundle (which is what I wanted) without an issue. GameStop's Canadian website shows that most of their 186 stores have availability. (It doesn't state if it's for the base or bundle, however.)

Excellent!

You scored 5/12, and rank 3,180th out of 4,460!

That's very nice. It looks a lot like a LEGO plant that I have around here.

I have no idea. If GameStop only gives me $50, then I'll probably just keep it.

It also depends on how much software can actually be transferred to the Switch 2. We probably won't know that until the new machine actually arrives.

I'm using the original V1 and, other than going through four joy cons and a pro controller, the machine itself seems to be doing fine. It does spend most of its life docked and hasn't travelled much in the last few years, however.

25 games for a total of 764 hours.

Most played were Retro Bowl, Tears of the Kingdom, and Hexceed. (I tend to listen to podcasts or 'music' while playing Retro Bowl and Hexceed.)

I especially like how both January and August didn't even register and only 1 hour in February.

From the Bloomberg article, "Employees who were affected by the job cuts will receive six months of severance and health insurance, as well as accelerated stock vesting."

I bought the cart, played (and finished) the campaign, traded in the cart towards TOTK. No regrets. I enjoyed the game, but I could not see every wanting to revisit it.

I enjoyed Pikmin 3 on the Wii U, but I'm unconvinced that I need to return to the world of Pikmin. I will definitely wait for some reviews for this next instalment.

I totally forgot about these Amiibo things. I think I have Sheik, Toon Link, Ganondorf, and Wolf Link.

I honestly have no idea. Maybe VII on the PC many years ago.

@Spider-Kev I remember watching him on Almost Live!

I enjoyed his superhero persona of Speed Walker.

@Sethdedun That's not what No Gravity Games is saying on their website, which is what I quoted. If it works in other places, then that's great.

Unfortunately, this giveaway is for US only.

Looking forward to it, but I'll probably pick it up on PS5 instead of on Switch.

I really enjoyed the first game and completed it as well as the DLC. I'm not entirely convinced that I need this one, however.

I thoroughly enjoyed the NES and ? Block sets, but I have no interest in the playable Mario/Luigi/Peach sets.

I picked this up for a couple of dollars the other day and I quite enjoy it. The steering is easy enough to understand if you've played top-down racers before.

It looks like the developer did adjust the AI quite a bit as I haven't found the difficulty unfair at all.

It's definitely not Gran Turismo 7, but I think most potential buyers would understand that before buying.

The console seems fine. I wasn't too impressed with the four joy cons that I sent to Nintendo for drift issues. But, as I didn't have to pay extra (other than my time) to send them in and get them sent back, I'm not overly grumpy about it. I guess those class-action lawsuits are sometimes helpful.

I wonder if this will impact the ability to get updates to the software whether the software was a digital or physical purchase.

I haven't played Mario Kart for several years — I guess I could boot up ye olde WiiU.

∆ strategy is the only one I'm interested in.

@Iamcardboard Almost all of the Picross games for NSW are on sale now — at least for Canada.

@Zverik Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that one later tonight.

Nice. Maybe I'll get back into the game once that DLC comes out.

@HANH I can also think of ZombieU and LEGO City Undercover.

Most looking forward to Triangle Strategy, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and The sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

It took me quite a while to realize that I had to turn on "Fitness Tracking" under "Motion and Fitness" in iOS15. The help in the app kept telling me that I had to use the "Health" app. I guess the "Health" app depends on the "Motion and Fitness" being turned on.

Not too sure how much I like a tracking app on my phone (besides the ones that I don't know about). It'd be nice if it could just count my steps without having to have location services turned on and running in the background at all times.

@Would_you_kindly I don't think it's on the Switch and I wouldn't think it'd be ported as it's getting a bit old. I think it was originally a WiiU exclusive. I guess anything is possible with Ubisoft.

ZombieU was actually the game that got me most interested in the potential of the Wii U

My only interactions with Pikmin are in Nintendo Land and Pikmin 3. I enjoyed Pikmin 3 quite a bit and the DLC.

I haven't played Grand Theft Auto since the original release on PC in 1997. That game was lots of fun.

It's a really nice set. It has lots of great little details and the cutest Yoshi I've ever seen. (Even more cute than a little Yarn Yoshi.)

I just happened to see it online at thesource.ca this morning so I ordered it. It's now sold out of stock online at that shop now.

@GamingDude800

They didn't charge me. They even sent out pre-paid UPS labels. My only cost was time and packaging the items and taking them down to the UPS store to be shipped out.

I mostly use the Switch while docked so this upgrade seems unnecessary for me.

I sent in four joycons to Nintendo and they fixed them and sent them back. A bit annoying, but wasn't too bad.

Can't possibly be as good as "The Simpsons" edition I bought some fifteen years ago.

Desert Island Escape in Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Only ever played the WiiU version and I did enjoy it very much.

More Picross! Woot! Woot! Woot!
