It may be a great game, but it's fugly.

We once lived in Hyland, NY. Don't remember seeing any sky islands. Though there were a few bokoblins about.

I know I'm the odd one out, here, but I want games not movies from Nintendo.

I only had 2 Amiibos, a Tom Nook which I have no idea how I got and the wolf link one, which I bought because I liked it. And Twilight Princess is one of my favourite games.

Now I have 3. I am surprised at the detail and quality of the piece. Again, it's just because I like it.

@Anti-Matter
It happens on many games. You aren't interested in TotK anyway, so don't worry about it.

@paschott
With all due respect, it will be a long wait for a sale on TotK here in the States.

As I write this, I am 13hrs 9 minutes from clicking that tormenting avatar on my Switch screen. It can't come soon enough.

@PlasmaticSnake
I, too, have hopes for the story elements in TotK. The wandering was fun, but it just felt like something was missing.

I can't wait to hit that icon on my Switch and have it do something other than telling me it can't be played yet!

I've pre-ordered it, just the regular edition. There's always stuff I need help on and these are nice books.

@NeonPizza
Yeah, I'd love to be able to get some of the special joy-cons on their own.

I have never gotten watching someone unbox an item I can't afford. Is it a masochistic thing? The TotK OLED is pretty, but it's a Switch in a nicer dress. Mine works fine.

Please understand (heheh): I'm not putting down anyone who enjoys unboxing videos. I just don't understand the appeal.

@timp29
Mine's downloading right now. It's gonna be tormenting me for days. Looks pretty, tho.

@Beefcakeyamato
That was my point, too, but the cult of Reggie will stand firm that he's some sort of super hero.

It takes more than dramatic lighting in a pic.

Sure, Reggie. Now tell us all exactly what you're going to do.

Short answer: nothing. Posing menacingly doesn't count.

@thehoppypoppy
Harvestella is massively underrated. I paid full price when it released and don't regret it. It just ticked so many boxes for me: great story, non-repetitive npc conversations, good battles, interesting main characters.

@AlexOlney
I'm very sorry you are sick, Alex and hope you feel better soon.

Having said that, I enjoyed your video more than usual. You're lower key approach was nice. What can I say: I'm a quiet person. I was also glad you tried some silly things that we're all going to be doing.

Again, take care of yourself and feel better.

My main problem with BotW and TotK is that I have a morbid fear of heights. I mean I have problems on a shag carpet. I feel every fall Link takes. My butt tightens at every ledge. That poor guy is gonna die sooo much at my hands.

And I can't wait!

@SwitchForce
Calm down. What anyone else thinks is not a judgement of what you think. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I don't agree with them, but it's not my job to tell them to shut up. They have the same right to post here as you and I do.

@gcunit
Might be the nail salon...

Terrific final trailer, but I'm already feeling sorry for Link: he's going to die a whole lot during my play through.

Good thing he's a resilient hero.

I'm a little old lady. I don't need more tat; I just want the damn game, which I've preordered from Amazon.

@Cia
It's all subjective. Each person has different expectations and wants.

I'm more concerned that anyone who poses even a slightly negative comment is labelled a hater or a troll. People seem to take it all much too personally.

@Rainz
Yep, the one time Ninty got the internet right.

I'll be watching. There's no way 10 minutes of gameplay is going to spoil much, if anything. Dropping $70 on a game is a big deal for me and I want to know a bit more before doing so.

@Eel, @Vil
Thanks muchly!

How can I use money I put on my Switch to buy off the 3DS shop?

@kingbk
Jmho, but if they could find a reasonable enough way to monetize updates they'd be doing them. Doing so without incurring a lot of wrath and fan pissed-offed-ness is another matter.

The artist side of me loves TP Link. The entire game is beautiful. I soooo want it on the Switch.

@HeadPirate

Or it could just be that some remakes are poorly done.

@SonOfDracula
Ah, got you. You are replying but I am arguing. Bit hypocritical, but whatever floats your boat.
Byeeeeeeeee

@SonOfDracula
Whether a comment is off topic is up to the mods, not you. NL is a site that encourages give and take as long as it's relatively courteous..

Perhaps you haven't been here long enough to know that.

Mick or Danny, names that mean a lot to me.

@SonOfDracula
You are entitled to your opinion. As is everyone else.

@SonOfDracula
Imho, @Maxz comment was spot on. Sarcasm can be an effective tool in making a point, especially an unpleasant one.

I seriously love the art style of blanc but, unfortunately have no one to play it with. Colour me disappointed.

@DiggleDog
It's incomprehensible to many Americans, too.

NL: Do please let us know if anyone actually buys one of these thru your link. Curious minds want to know.

I've only bought one amiibo: Midna/wolf link. Just because I liked it. I don't think it's ever been used.

For Animal Crossing I've gotten a few chip cards off eBay for characters I wanted.

I am an artist. I have earned money from commissioned portraits since I sold my first endeavour at age 7. Granted it was $2 from my grandfather, but it still counts.

I have had people, both kids and adults, who draw using cartoons as the model asking my opinion of their work. While it can be a good way to start most never move beyond that stage because nothing is really learned from the process. The picture they are copying has already had the hard work done for them. The trick is seeing something and translating that image into lines that are the basis of any piece of representative artwork. They are merely copying the lines.

Photo realism is a big right now. It takes great skill and I did a couple of pieces in that genre to prove to myself I could do it, but it feels lifeless to me. Much of art relies on the imperfections the artist translates into their work. I always try to used candid photos of people, especially children as again, there is more life to them, a spark that's missing when a posed sitting is used.

This, of course, is all just my humble opinion.

@PewnyPL
Sorry about that.

@Thief
It says right in the article: "Also, YouTube confirmed to us that it was indeed Nintendo and not an imposter."

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm so depressed about the direction the world is trending now that it's making me grumpy (insert stronger word here).

@nessisonett

Whereas in the UK they'd be throwing the money off parliament's roof top to the great unwashed.

Gimme a break.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
It's all subjective. I've tried a number of times to get into Stardew but it just doesn't do it for me. Partly due to the art style. I give the creator a lot of credit, though.

I preferred the grittier look of the original but know I'll be getting this one as it was my late daughter's favourite.

I love this game, especially after they listened to players and improved issues that were noticed from the demo. Yeah, the NPCs are bare bones, but most of the side quests have a lot of emotional depth. The cooking isn't to make money but to provide dishes to sustain you through your journey. There is lots of room for development: better main character customization, smoother movement, etc.

I've had, and am still having, a lot of enjoyment playing it. For me, it was worth the price. I hope they get the chance to expand on what they've done.

I don't understand why we can't get stats on the Switch itself other than the vague ones.

I'll have to find out more about it gameplay-wise, but I really like the artwork. Color me very interested.

@Magrane
Not necessarily. Some of us older people were the ones playing the consoles. My home was a zoo most weekends because we had the latest games and consoles and the neighborhood gravitated to our place. My kids were exposed to gaming because I loved it.

A very happy birthday to him! The word legend isn't big enough to cover him.

But this is what pisses me off a bit: he's recognized as a great designer/producer/gamer which he most certainly is, but other older gamers are condescended to with things like " isn't that cute! An old lady playing games! I'll bet her grandson had to show her the power button. Hahaha." Or "they're gonna get the wrong game because the olds don't understand console differences! Let's laugh at them!"

I know it comes as a shock that you didn't invent sex, drugs, rocknroll or video games, but neither did we. Everything is based and built on what's gone before.

Silly, old me i is still enjoying Harvestella.
