Looks nice! Another lil gem I would’ve missed if yall didn’t feature it. Thanks for the review. I’d love to play this with my brother.

@RightWingGamer lol her voice wasn’t annoying at all to me. Way worse voice acting out there.

Not trying to rain on anybody’s parade but from what I’ve played (the demo) this was one of the most boring experiences I’ve had with a game on my Switch. I ended up using the auto play feature I was so bored. What’s the point? I was bummed bc it looked cute and could’ve been something special. Really seems aimed at a young audience which is all good.

I just bought the game plus the DLC , which for those who haven’t looked yet- plants you a tree in the game, and in real life!

I also purchased the $1 DLC for Lydia which gives you a coloring book in game, while the money goes to the non profit- Fragile Childhood.

Didn’t realize Lydia was from the same publisher till now. Awesome.

This is such a great concept for DLC @Nakana_Mika. It’s awesome that you’re supporting such positive change in this wild world. All the little things count.

@Nakana_Mika no need for an apology:)! This trailer is great. Thanks for publishing such a unique experience, I look forward to trying it.

This makes a lot of sense....
What a beautiful change of pace it would be;) I’ve still never played Fortnite and never will but I could see BOTW being a perfect come down drug.

With big first party games I always buy physical as well but I’m going digital for this one so it’s always easily accessible ☺️

@edgedino haha ok I guess I’m looking forward to that!?

@DK-Fan I think/am hoping what they meant was you can’t buy new vouchers in NA, but can still use one on AC if you got one left from before. I was doing the same thing, saving my 2nd voucher, as this is one game that will stay in the system..

Nice- looking forward to some co op campaign action with my brother! I’m only at chapter 2 of the 1p campaign. It’s been fun so far but I definitely see how the difficulty ramping up somewhat unfairly in later levels is going to be a big bummer, as it definitely is a time suck already without having to restart missions..

Thanks for this Soapbox.. couldn't agree more -
The main thing I just can't wrap my head around is how the heck you're supposed to upgrade your Switch to a Pro or Lite or special edition OG or whatever without losing your AC data..makes no sense at all..

@QuickSilver88
@edgedino
@SquareOneMJ
@Ralek85
@Kidfunkadelic83
Thanks for your encouragement yall! I went ahead and got Heist:) Gonna be in the backlog for a while but I look forward to digging into it in the futro.

@Ryu_Niiyama are system transfers covered though? It doesnt seem so from what they said

I can’t get over that price - $120 dollars a year. Wow. I really hope people don’t go for this.

@FatNate I dno, some people definitely do tho. I’ve been tempted to have both for a while as I think it’d be cool to have another slightly more portable system with a d pad. Plus my reg Switch (new model even) is kinda wonky/loose connections to the cons. What about when we inevitably upgrade to a Pro?

Also disappointed in this potential...
What if you have a Switch and a Lite? What if your system breaks? Not a fun prospect..

I feel like Nintendo neeeeeds to hold onto any sort of modern action ips it’s got (ie this one and like ... Bayonetta).

I’ve read so many good things about these games, but I just don’t feel the look and vibe of them enough to give em a chance .. I’m sure I’d be a quick convert as soon as I started playing tho ha

I bought it immediately, tho I do agree that it’s a bit preemptive considering we know nothing of who these fighters are.. That said, I have a feeling they’ll all be fun to play at the least. Plus as others have mentioned, getting all the stages and music really makes the cost worth it to me. And how could you not want a completed roster!? (This is all optional bonus content remember;)

That mii costume bonus on the other hand.... wouldn’t say that makes a preorder worth it, they could’ve at least added a couple more costumes to sweeten the deal. It’s basically .75cents off as that’s the cost of the mii dlc lol.

More reason to never try this game.

Been really diggin them so far.

Ah you’re right! Looks like this is the time sched tho so if yer in the UK it won’t be till tomorrow technically..

release times:
UK: 2am (GMT, January 29th)
Europe: 3am (CEST, January 29th)
East Coast US: 9pm (EDT, January 28th)
West Coast US: 6pm (PDT, January 28th)

@magnumc500 I think Pass 2 is up for preorder tomorrow, but no one knows when the first fighter will be out. Byleth and the recently announced Mii costumes like Cuphead are dropping tomorrrow too I think, right!?

@adh56 my thoughts exactly - @devann !? I’m confused.

Not sure what the Wii and Wii U percentages were in their heyday, but it seems this is the best support Nintendo’s gotten in yeaaaaars

I think it made sense for them to do a less exciting character like Byleth as the final of this pass, as it will be more impactful to start pass 2 with a fighter everyone’s excited for. That said, I’m not stoked for Byleth, even tho I like Three Houses, but I’m fine with it. No point in complaining really:)

Been waiting for this one! Bummed it got so overshadowed

Glad you reviewed this! I more than likely would have missed it completely. One of the main reasons I come to Nintendolife every dam day is for all the hidden eshop gems.

Nice review! Glad to hear the music is great. Also stoked about the short playtime.. currently still slogging thru DQXI, and tho I looove it, it’s sort of intimidating to work thru epic games these days. Especially with so many in the backlog.

Also find it funny that everyone keeps think we neeeeed to know more information about AC. I doubt there’s going to be anything too groundbreaking. Though of course I’d love it if there was.. Let’s just be patient and get stoked when it finally arrives!

And I thought I was disappointed Dante was going to be fighter 5...

I had a dream last night that the 5th character was Madden! And I’m no football fan but the reveal trailer was amazing.

Some Tetris 99, and either some DQXI or some Wargroove. Also wanna check out that Mystery Dungeon demo....

@Mjoen fair enough. I just wish they didn’t cloud up the best sellers lists! It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth after cursing the cosmos for such unbalanced lunacy.

@rjejr good suggestions haha
On the note of getting these games, don’t waster yer precious gold! Keep saving it and before you know it you can at least get a $10 game?? I just deleted some games that I felt were muddying up my library a bit with their lower quality, and I’ve got a much happier collection now!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Hate it

Nice! I’ve only spent an hour w Astral Chain so far — had to dip back into DQXI, which I like others, am surprised didn’t make the cut - perhaps bc its an older game it’s DQ’d

I’ll also be playing Ori and DQXI @grumblevolcano ! Also want to finally finish Goose Game and will definitely play Tetris 99. Once I beat Ori I think I’ll start either Wargroove or Hyper Light Drifter..

And with my buds I’m looking forward to playing some Smash, Heave Ho, Stretchers, Towerfall and Killer Queen.

Much love Nintendolife community and staff, thanks for existing!

Fun!

@ALinkttPresent I’m sure it’ll come eventually? And if not I guess I’ll have to finally set up a European eshop account ..

Worth it for the disco Luigi alone!

I’d love more options, but I do prefer to have a more neutral home screen than having only one specific game theme hogging all the attention! Generic Nintendo character themes would be cool tho;) or more color palettes at the very least would be welcome.

And yes I’m a nerd and would love to be able to see my activity log! Still bummed that total play times don’t carry over when you get a new system too. Would’ve loved to still be able to organize my library by hours played..

Last Jedi > episodes 1,2,3 that’s for damn sure. And it certainly wasn’t worse than Episode 8... there were some absolutely stunning moments that surpass all of the other films that countered the wtf moments for me for sure. I also liked that Luke was brought down to the -disappointing- level he was. The humanness of a hero. Zen monks aren’t perfect either;)

Really though, none of the series is perfect. All contain corniness and nonsensical bits. Nostalgia is a wonderfully funny thing.

Awesome! But daggit, the one theme I’m missing - Luigi’s Mansion - isn’t available !?

Can’t wait to try team battle nonetheless!

Though I’m definitely not going to hold my breath for reaching the top 999.... unless I was somehow able to spend all weekend playing lol.

The look didn’t do it for me off the bat, but I’m sure I’ll get into it. I think it just feels muddy since it’s in more of a brighter outside setting..

@Angelic_Lapras_King ahh thanks for the confirmation/clarification ...

I think I remember reading that a purchase of the new SS will come with a free download of 1, or is its 2?

Not sure who will be reading this review now, but I just got the game (on the awesome 50% Black Friday sale) and it included all the DLC packs! Not sure why they are selling them separately still as they are all included here..: seems kinda like a scam.

As far as the game goes, I’m definitely enjoying it so far tho I don’t think it quite hits that 9/10 mark... more like a 7.5/8 to me..

Watched a great review from Switch Up on this as well. Seems awesome. Perfect winter weekend vacation.

I hope it gets the shine it deserves!

Sakurai, I love you. And the whole HAL crew!

My 5th fighter pick is Toejam & Earl as a tag team. That would be rad.
