To be honest I LOVE IT.

But... I fought hard and long to obtain my Animal Crossing Edition Switch, and though I'd like an upgrade -the price point and not enough NEW is keeping my money in my wallet.

A larger OLED overall would have sold me though, Text sizes on Switch handheld play is way too small for me on most games. And that is an issue I never have with any 3DS gems, because those games were designed to be seen/READ on small screens.

I will wait until later.

It was day 1 game for me until I recently played Samus Returns. I liked it but did not finish it.

Does anyone know if Tetris Effect has a physical version? Or plans on one?

3DS still has way more features than Switch.... 5 years into it. Hmm.

A console for the ages. New 3DS XL is tops!

He also did the Meteos on the DS.

Yes, I see now

Good point, and agreed!

@Ventilator

Playing the game first and early is a ton more use out the product.... how is that getting the short end? Especially when it was an individual choice to do so, and wanted to?

Enjoy the game however you'd like.

@RupeeClock

I agree that it is coming too!!

Held out on Smash Ultimate for them to finally wrap up and give the Ultimate Ultimate release, physical. Broke down and bought the game, but have not grabbed any DLC and still kind of holding out for it.

No cloud for me!!

@Miyamotosan
Quite curious of what that trick might be.

Yikes....pass from me. I still play the original on Gamecube.

POKEMON PUZZLE LEAGUE or bust.

Thank you & goodnight.

My first Puyo game and I love it for being basic. I am not online, just solo and couch multiplayer.

Got it $3 on sale, and having a blast.

One more proper update and I'll bite at it. Was a major disappointing launch version for one of my favorite series... I passed, but another reasonable update and I'm back in and will buy it.

I expect a ton of new sales today, around the Direct, I'll waiting for those to chip away at my Wishlist. None of these new games for me.

Oooh they beat the delayed Sports Story to the starting grid!

Tiny text ......just lost me.

My favorite console and time of gaming all-around, ever! Golden age of 3 big companies battling it out got lots of innovation and creativity!

Gamecube deserved to be so much better off through -especially next to the pitiful original XBOX.

Mine is still hooked up on a classic GXTV in the bedroom.

What I really need is a OLED XL!!

Screen still too small for small text (meant for tv screen in most cases) for thee dyin' eyes!

I have no issues reading text on 3DS Xl, but with Switch I can not play many games in portable mode.

@Gavintendo

Very similar to Cosmic Express and Hix: Puzzle Islands.

No coverage on what should be the eShop game of the year?

@Nin10dood

it was a really special time.

Pikmin and Smash Melee a couple weeks later was my most exciting time... then a year or 2 Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker and Metroid Prime in the same year.. I had been in games since Pong but this one was where my true affinity for Nintendo was bonded for liiiiiiiife. Long live the Cube indeed!

How the heck do I fight in this game? Seems like no matter what buttons I use it just does whatever.

I've searched online for tips or 'how to fight'... any tips here from fans of these games?

Sounds like a definite no to me.

Found it right on this site. This could help lighten the irritation level for me at some point.

@UsurperKing

I sure would be interested in cutting that way down. Is it the L button then selecting? Thanks for the info. I will look into it for another run at the game at some point. Thanks for the head up

@Snatcher

I wasn't around for it before any updates so I don't know if they made a difference. All I can tell you is that as a huge fan of this series, I actually recently went back and bought City Life to save for when I am really wanting some "new" animal crossing because this one left me feeling like I wasted my cash. It's funny because I went overboard beforehand and actually bought the AC Switch console. Oops. !

@Snatcher

I was also late to this game this time around.

I put 3 weeks in, just like you said. It was a chore and disappointing and I have stopped playing to move on to other games (Dragon Quest Builders2 for example.

original GC Animal Crossing is one of the games I have restarted and I love it to death. I have 800 hours in my New Leaf town too.

The latest AC is boring, and a padding-fesst of cycling.... and I mean do CONSTANT cycling through up to 6 or 7 tools with the D pad. What a game breaking kistake. They should have an on-screen toolbox to click with your thumb or the cursor.. I mean it, I spend hours going through the tools -all of them (pretty much) are needed just to get around the island all in one trip, so no- grabbing "what you need" and leaving the rest for quicker selecting would also be a game breaker.

Seriously, I do recommend waiting for the inevitable "welcome amiibo' type update before jumping in.

Just my .02 but I put that game down and barely felt like I missed out on an actual Animal Crossing game at all.

Looks great! This one is one my radar for sure.

Finally playing it and it really is FANTASTIC.

!!!

Honorable mention:

ALOLA!!

Heck yes.

Likely a day 1 for me.. pending a good review. Looks cool so far!

I always miss these limited short windows! Always.

I will HAVE TO go with my starter from my favorite Pokemon game so far.. Ultra Sun... Rowlet indeed!

For eShop only pre-orders, or physical pre-orders too?

$6 would have been top price for me... but even then I would wait for a sale..

Hard pass and another flop for the good 'ol Switch "tax".

Tetris only definite.

Astroneer, Islanders, and the Bear game are maybes.

Sports Story was expected but a no-show. boohoo for now.

Great. DAY ONE for me!!
Very looking forward to this.

This is a Day-One pre-order for me. In fact.... I may have already

I really reeeeeeealllly hope they have been cooking this one for a long time, No rush job needed. It is important to be finished upon release.

This Legends series could be a whole new side game -for each region, if done right.

Looking forward to actual information, but so far, very excited for this.

Original AC still the my favorite, but it will be at least a a generation or even 2 that they will be able to make the Animal Crossing Ultimate.

This game did not stick with me for long. In fact I have gone back into New Leaf and have an unopened City Folk (for Wii) that I can jump into for my authentic AC experience.

Maybe something like that would work for others that are bored with this new imposter AC game

GOLF STORY!

(honorable mention)

No amount of updates or bells and whistles could EVER........ ever(!) take the bad taste out of my mouth for this game.

Zelda -yes even with BOTW has never been the same for me since this very uncomfortable and chore-like game.

Twilight, WW, and of course Ocarina are still where my heart is at for Zelda.

Decent idea, but crappy game just as it was back in the originals days.

Unfortunately Camelot phones in their games now and after I canceled the pre-order, I will likely skip this generation of this series. Toadstool, 64 and the 3DS versions were my jam, but the best golf on Switch is Golf Story.

This Super rush nonsense is a waste of time and I'm not interested anymore. I would ideally like to play a long relaxing developed golf game in the mario universe. And I would prefer to play and level-up as those characters too, not Mii's.

Quick CONTROLLER question for everyone:

D-pad or Stick.... what are ya'll using?? Specifically on this new version.

I have always used D-Pad and controlled it a bit like a fighting game back in the PS2 and GC days.

I'd find it very interesting to see what everyone prefers, especially now.

Was this designed "for" stick preferred or pad preferred from the developer?

@Dog
thanks for caring expert of all things mario golf.
lol

@Clyde_Radcliffe

Toadstool Tour still the best! Long live the GC.

After just playing through Mario Golf for 3DS and becoming endlessly annoyed with the camera controls, I decided to cancel my pre-order and opted instead for Tony Hawk (same day release).

Camelot's track record of releasing unfinished games to then update well after the fact and patch, most definitely give me a sense of confidence.

plus..... honestly the last thing I would want out of a golf game, is RUSHING and speeding. I was so excited but up until now I will wait and see on this one.

On the flip side, I recently bought Golf Story and loving the heck out of it!!
.

@Slowdive thank you. The video reveal showed more but I guess that must have a montage of its history. I've owned the first 2 (still have the first) on GC but not sure what deluxe is. I'd say another pass for me this time. Good game for first-time monkey's though.

...but even as a fan of the series, Advance Wars for $60 is absurd.

Not much for me this E3 and that's ok. The Indie's are outperforming the big companies right now. Good for them!
