So awesome! Can’t wait to play it. Kinda a bummer Nlife is lowering the metacritic potential compared to other reviews! Somewhat surprised there, but 9 is still… wonderful:)

I’d rather a monthly or quarterly. Love getting my game informer each (most?) months. Nice to have something tangible and something to look forward to in ye ol mail box each month

Thought it was sad that this wasn’t mentioned in any of the Direct recaps I watched. Shoulda had more buzz for sure. I really liked the first one but to be honest didn’t have the patience for the difficulty and really didn’t want to restart battles after losing ha. I’m too old to spend an hour+ on 1 battle! So not sure I’ll get this one. Glad it’s good tho!

Like others said, I think everyones learned Ubisoft’s ways! We know it’s going to be 50-75% off before long…

For me, I honestly wasn’t as into the idea of free movement. Love some grid based battlin’

Wow, the billions they’re making off Pokémon isnt enough to float the other teams and projects huh. How stupid. Love capitalist greed!

@Sisilly_G ahh so good to know about the multiple launchers. I was curious what would happen w the Pikmin 1+2 bundle…

@JohnnyMind yea that would make sense! Fingers crossed heh

Ok, nerdy question here. Wonder if anyone has any thoughts on! If you get the digital bundle, will you have 2 separate icons in your library or 1 for both? Guessing the physical cart will be just 1 icon rather than 2. It’s silly but even tho I prefer physical for major 1st party releases (guess this isn’t technically major anyway lol) I’m just thinking about how I’d rather see each game on its own in my library rather than 1+2 together and 3 and 4 on their own.

It is a bit boring, in a beautiful way

Thanks for the interview NL/Kate! I of course agree that real world experiences are the most important. But in a realm so overly saturated with insensitive disconnect, we could use all the entertainment media we can pushing a caregiver narrative. I never thought I could be a real caregiver, then when my partner got ill, I rose to the occasion. And now know what it means to truly show up for someone. Happy that this sort of game can help normalize death and loss and illness, and hopefully inspire people to want to be there for others.

I miss the good ol unlockable character!
And wish they were all there at launch.

That said, definitely get the point above!

Looks cool,, but not quite there?!

@Diogmites I had to log back into my account just to say this might be one of the “best comments ever” haha amazing

This looks and sounds worse than DxM…. Dag

Very intriguing ~~~

Loved Gato Roboto so may just acquire…. Really would wanna play with a bud tho and I moved across country from all the homees

@Scarko agree agree agree

On the way to the Nintendo store right now! Will be real tough not to play while I’m working…

No. Freakin. Way. Wait, it’s almost April 1st. Is this an early joke?!?

@Quarth wow I had no idea there were 4 endings. I’m about 25 hours in and loving it.

Love his art style too. The cover art is so great. I hope he continues with the team! Wish his style was integrated into the actual character models for BD2. I really don’t like their proportions (and I love me some big head classic rpg style)

Thanks for the write up! I was wondering how we acquired promotion medals…. Gotta save up that kudos!

I’m about 9 hours in and really loving it so far~ thanks for the v basic tips Nintendo haha at this point all things I should know but good for brand new players for sure.

@the_beaver ah I love Switch Up reviews. Like you said they loved this game which really was encouraging along w this NL review

@Troll_Decimator haha so true. It’s funny because I think since it’s such an established franchise, and most of us first heard the name when we were so young, the generic naming doesn’t feel so basic. It has the impact of the series behind it.

That said, I’m not bothered by Triangle Strategy. If you ignore the obvious, literal meaning it can take on it’s own energy just like FF did.

@getyourak I heard it’s a bit more heavy on cutscenes in the beginning , but yea will still be a big part of the quest

@BenAV Dag that does suck! Though not trying to be a jerk, it’s funny how a one day delay can really bum one out (myself included). Ya gotta admit tho, not too harsh of a “trouble”

Just got my copy, can’t wait to delve in but must work first haha

Just got my copy! A little weary of the heavy focus on dialogue, but feeling ready to dive into an epic tale and am happy it’s voice acted so I don’t have to read everything!

Feeling the same as many here, with the whole not enough time for rpgs these days kind of life. But, that said, I’m so looking forward to this one. I loved the Messenger (tho it did become a bit of a slog towards the end for my liking), and this one looks to be just as special. Perhaps one of the rare rpgs I’ll make time for!

Wonder if there’s going to be online multiplayer!? Looks to be a super fun way to experience all 9 episodes in a row!

Welcome Felix! Looking forward to hearing ya~

I was stoked for more Kate presence but I’m sure she has her reasons for not wanting to put up with Alex and Zions tomfoolery!

@DBTheHumbleSavage haha what a great break down. You’re definitely not alone. I only played the one on wii back in the day that was multiplayer focuses, can’t remember the name but it was a decent time. But I agree! Really not into the Rabbids. Tho I must say in Kingdom Battle they weren’t tooooo annoying. Really came close, but I had a good enough time!

Finally beat Mario + Rabbids so now to complete Dread, Shovel Knight (finally picked it up) and continue my trials in Hades (finally picked it up!). Also some Brain Age, Animal Crossing, Ring Fit and Fitness Boxing. And always some Tetris!

Very strange update indeed…..

Been waiting to dive into this one~~ seems how’s the time!

I’ll be challenging myself with this! I just wonder how much longevity the games have~ how do they evolve as you play/when does it begin to repeat?

Love the review Alex

Interested to know what these unlockables are… prolly art galleries I’m guessing.?

Yessss I’m so stoked the soundtrack is one of the Pros. My good friend made it! So proud of his work getting praise. Go Amos!

@nkarafo I remember reading graphical elements took a hit on Switch so maybe this upgrade will bring it more inline. I love this game and do like that it’s on Switch (my main console), but agree @jayj that it’s not quite a perfect fit and does align w PS more, while 99 feels so concise and focused for the handheld experience especially.

@quigtendo yea! I sold mine (2nd edition) on Craigslist for $250. So $100 for the upgrade was totally worth it for me. Looks great and I love all the little additions. also the joy con connection is not wobbly like my old one. Plus you get a joy con refresh , which new ones cost $80 so considering that it’s a good deal.

As a 37 year old who works on a computer all day I can Definitely relate ! Thanks for all the tips. Gotta keep moving!

Tho , yea kinda annoying to see all the Amazon links. Especially the bs expensive ones. We don’t need to see 4 different pro controllers ha.

Ok I’m interested, especially since it’s only $30 and 12 hours.

@Spiders I allllmost completely agree. I really wanted to love it. And it’s so close to being loveable for me. Just wanted a bit more, substance as you said. And as the review quote mentions, it’s a bit tooo vague. Still a cool piece of art. But not enough to keep my interest sadly.

I jussst started playing again last night but didn’t delve into any of the new stuff. It felt like not much had changed, but then again I didn’t unlock Brewster, cruise w Kapp’n or design any homes yet.

I did see my girlfriends house, who I’m parting ways with and it made me so sad. I just got the OLED, and thankfully I realized just before selling my ol switch, that I’d need to transfer her account to the oled just so I could delete her character and house. Which meant I needed to make a Nintendo account for her too. Laborious process for a tragic real life event. Do not recommend. But such is life.

Looking forward to revisiting Happy Club with new eyes, I’m sure it’ll help heal my heart.

@GoldenGamer88 oh man I just started it last night and I got stuck at the same part, and I read the signs, and I’m 37…

@luke88 I was wondering about these questions too. Also wondering how easy it is to set up games with your friends and how it works to then pause and quit the game to return later?

Bring on the dread drops!

Are people actually complaining that this is $30? Seems fair to me! Still unsure whether I’m going to give it a whirl but I love the simplicity concept. And yes! As some have mentioned- the imagination it will require!

Not my pick, but real happy for all the fans who voted. And I just love Sakurai. His humor is so good. Such a good spirit! Gonna miss his presentations.

Love how these keep coming. Also love that Tetris Effect is coming to Switch this month!

Wow so there will be 7 chapters or 5!? Either way, hmm I was going to wait but given how long between 1 and 2, I might as well play as they release. How are they making money tho, I’m perplexed!?
