Animal Crossing (and maybe Splatoon) are the only AAA games I'll buy digitally. It seemed the like majority of people I know that are into AC got it digitally.
@TheLightSpirit I follow Pokémon news closely and at least used to be a pretty die hard fan. I’ve seen numerous hours of footage from these games. Do I really need to list my reasons for not liking what GF did with Sw/Sh? They’re all pretty obvious and have been said over and over since last year. I’m happy I skipped the whole mess, yes. I’ll stick to games that strive to be enjoyable.
Annoyed that Amazon delayed my AC package, so canceled and downloaded it instead. It’s the only full price game I’ll download. Already kind of regret that I won’t have the box on my shelf.
@ummyeahnintendo But at least they let you use the outhouse at all (if only once) instead of making you crap in the woods and wipe with poison ivy. That’s my point. It’s better than nothing - I’m not saying I agree with the decision. Just be happy they are giving us this option at all.
Back in my day games saved to the cart with a little battery that would eventually die and wipe out your save. Bye, complete Pokémon Blue and Silver Pokédex (this happened to me with both). At least there is an emergency backup option at all here. This isn’t the end of the world.
I’d be happy if true. Cranky Kong after that, please. I want that cane-fighting, pogo-stick bouncing grump in the game. He’s the original DK, after all, and the franchise deserves more representation.
I've barely been gaming the past year (didn't buy Pokemon and not much interested me outside that)... just waiting for that sweet, sweet Animal Crossing.
I know this game gets a lot of hate but I’m enjoying it a lot. Excited to (hopefully) get Reindeer Yoshi and that sleigh.
I really hope they bring all these new characters and ideas (like weekly ranked cups and reverse/turbo track remixes) to the next console game (minus micro transactions and gacha mechanics).
My SNES collection (as a kid in the 90’s):
Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, Yoshi’s Island, Mario All-Stars, Mario Paint, Mario RPG, DKC, DKC 2, DKC 3, Mickey Mouse Magical Quest, Mickey Mouse Circus Mystery, Lion King, Aladdin
I rented plenty of others. I miss those Disney games. My parents spent a lot of money on these, looking back on it.
I still haven’t bought it and don’t plan on it. I’m just going to get B/W and B/W2 and play some good Pokémon games instead. I can hold out for the “Eternal” versions of Sw/Sh next year or whenever. Gens 6-8 have been awful (in my opinion and based on watching footage of Gen8). I wish they’d go back to pixel art as the move to 3D has been very rough. Also, bring back Megas. They’re the only gimmick that’s worked well and was actually exciting.
The leakers helped me avoid this turd and saved me money and heartache. I appreciate them.
I want a game where I collect monsters, but instead of battling them, you are tasked with researching, studying, and photographing them along with their behavior, diet, habitat, etc. Maybe some breeding thrown in.
@TheLightSpirit Red and Blue didn't hold my hand and had some pretty complex dungeons and puzzle solving. I beat the game multiple times and completed the dex sans Mew. Are kids just stupid these days?
@Anti-Matter What a high bar you’ve set for the biggest media franchise on the planet. This is part of why Gamefreak doesn’t put much effort in anymore.
@Mr_Muscle I don’t know - I’ve kind of just been spinning in place for a while now. This is a deep and difficult rut to climb out of. I’m having a hard time finding joy in anything anymore. But enough about me... Pokémon, huh?
@Mr_Muscle I run three hobby-based small businesses by myself (photo booth/photography/Etsy) so that takes up most of my time. I was pretty into rare plants (collecting/selling) for a while, but even that’s starting to lose its spark. Maybe I’m the problem. Everything is kind of depressing.

Re: Burnout Paradise Remastered Speeds Onto Switch This June, But It's Pretty Pricey
I’d pay $60 for a Burnout Collection, $20 for Paradise, or $60 for a brand new Burnout.
I guess my only option is to wait for a sale for now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th April (North America)
My Secrets Pets! sounds like a good laugh. I like to think of these things as satire.

Re: Video: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Trailer Shows Off All 51 Games
I’m absolutely stoked for this game. I probably played the original more hours than any game on DS.

I'm glad I completely skipped these games.
Re: Rhythm Heaven Creator Asks Fans To Show Their Support For A Switch Release
WarioWare and Rhythm Heaven are two of the last IPs I need on Switch to give it a perfect library. Please, Nintendo.
Re: Poll: Which ARMS Fighter Should Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
I also think it’ll be multiple skins.
Re: Random: A New Ice Climber Game From SteamWorld Dev Image & Form? We Wish
I wish Nintendo would hand some of these dormant IPs over to someone who'd give them some love. Image & Form seems like a good choice.

It’s breaking my heart, but I’m done with Pokémon. Bring on Animal Crossing.
Re: Rumour: Crash Bandicoot Is Smash Ultimate DLC Fighter 6, According To Byleth Leaker
I’d be happy if true. Cranky Kong after that, please. I want that cane-fighting, pogo-stick bouncing grump in the game. He’s the original DK, after all, and the franchise deserves more representation.

I’d be all over a new Paper Mario like 64 or TTYD... hell, even Super was better than SS or CS.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate's 5th DLC Character Will Be Revealed On 16th January In Livestream
I just want the second set of DLC to have actual Nintendo characters and less third-party.
Re: Yoshi's Woolly World's Composer Has Uploaded Lots Of Unheard Music From The Game
I also vastly prefer Woolly World to Crafted - they dumbed that game down to the point of being boring.

Re: Feature: Donkey Kong 64 Devs On Bugs, Boxing And 20 Years Of The DK Rap
I love this game and want a sequel or expanded remake so very badly. Please.
I'd also accept DKCR3 or DKC 1-3 remakes. I just love me some DK.
Re: Anniversary: Feel Old Everyone, Donkey Kong Country Turns 25 Today
I would love remakes of DKC 1-3 anytime, Nintendo.
