Nice! I've really enjoyed my first run of this game right up the point I've unlocked everything. Whenever I have some downtime with other games, this will be booted up again.
@Panopticon Yeah, I know! But a man has two hands and whenever he's working on new content for this game, it's not for his new game. Or maybe it is, if it's using all of the SV code and assets.
Mixed feelings about this. I love the amount of support this game gets, but I want a new game from Eric as well. I've already bought this game multiple times and I want his creativity focused on a new project. It's not my call to make, but a man can wish.
This is amazing. There are a couple titles already on my wishlist, but more were added. Only down size: most of them don't come out this year so the wait will be long.
Much expected, to be honest. My own hype level is through the roof for weeks already. Everything they've shown shows so much love and attention to details. Can't be surprised with high scores like these.
Not a fan of using the NSO app, but it looks like the best solution for the QR code pattern loading. Nice to know all the New Leaf patterns are still useful!
@BenAV I cannot disagree more. How can you not see it's a substantial upgrade from earlier entries? All the extra customization options remove all reasons to reset the island, because you can change everything to your own wants.
It's way more than "just Animal Crossing on the Switch".
@TechaNinja I've asked this before, but didn't get a true answer. What's the fun in 'anime tiddies' and fan service? Seems kinda creepy to me, to be honest.
@Heavyarms55 Thanks for the explanation! It's not a vendetta against anime in general. I've seen multiple shows, loved the Ni No Kuni games and even the artstyle of Fire Emblem Three Houses is okay to me. The problem lies in the focus on anime girls in a way that doesn't look healthy to me. I don't see the appeal in games that focus on that.
I would love some pre-order bonuses for using another voucher! They haven't officially announced it for the voucher program yet, right? Saving one for this game in particular.
It may sound weird, but I wish he stopped updating Stardew Valley now. I would love him to focus on the new unannounced game. It's already clear it's set in the same universe as SV, so I'm excited to see what it is.
I'm playing this through Gamepass right now and it would fully be worth the money if I had to pay full price for it. Some minor framedrops here and there on the base Xbox One though, so expect framedrops on the switch version as well.
It is a fun game though! Get it on another console if you have one, keep your eyes on it if you want the Switch version.
@Perryg92 There is no limit, but there are seasons. Every season is 30 days. So if you want to grow some spring crops and time is passing to summer, you have to wait a full in-game year to grow the spring crops again. Until you unlock the solution to that problem.
@Krull I know right! At least they have unlimited battery life. Although that's mostly because they aren't backlit. Or lit at all. They can be lit, but that's a one time thing and one time only.

@FirMatt I went to the physical store in my city and they had lots in all sizes. So if there is a store close to you, that's your best bet!

Re: VooFoo And Ripstone Are Bringing The Acclaimed Pure Pool To Switch
Fun game with a UI made by an intern. I have no clue how that ugly sh*t got in. It's horrible.
EDIT: This made me think of an earlier announcement: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/this_is_pool_brings_genre-defining_cue_sports_simulation_to_switch_in_early_2019
I said the same there.

Re: Guide: Streets Of Rage 4 Secret Retro Level Locations
I hate this. Posting an article about a secret level is a damn spoiler on the day the game comes out. Not much secret about it now, eh?
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (Europe)
Picked up Celeste in the sale, so still playing that before the game of the decade: Animal Crossing New Horizons. Can't wait to play that.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Pocket Camp Crossover Event Is Now Live
Now let me buy the shirt IRL and I'm happy.
The in-game items aren't very hard to get, by the way. Just do the fishing tournament every couple hours.

Re: You Can Now Pre-Purchase Animal Crossing: New Horizons On Nintendo Switch eShop
@theiRiS Well... I'm using a voucher for it and going to play it anyway. Whatever the reviews will say.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th February (Europe)
@retrogamedude Yes, but not as slow as this list shows. I would mention 7th Sector, Knights and Bikes, Marooners and Zero Zero Zero Zero as well.

Wanted to buy Mario & Sonic, but read everywhere it's not very fun as a singleplayer/couch co-op game, so why bother?
Re: Review: Prison Princess - A Cheeky Point-And-Click Adventure With A Japanese Twist
@Ralizah I think we have another view on what's attractive. Drawn characters don't to anything to me.

Re: Stardew Valley's 1.4 Update Expected To Arrive On Consoles Next Month
It may sound weird, but I wish he stopped updating Stardew Valley now. I would love him to focus on the new unannounced game. It's already clear it's set in the same universe as SV, so I'm excited to see what it is.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 2nd)
Still into The Outer Worlds. Keeping myself from playing Luigi's Mansion 3 until I'm done.

Ring Fit Adventure! Starting tonight, after work.

Re: Stardew Valley Creator Outlines Next Update, Improves "Every Aspect" Of The Game
@Perryg92 Nah, that's unlimited! You can become in-game millions years old and everyone is still there.

Nice framedrops.
Re: Video: Untitled Goose Game Gets New Gameplay Trailer, And You Know You Want To Watch It
