@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!
@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!
@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.
@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.
@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?
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.
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!?
@Clyde_Radcliffe exactly, a weird choice tbh.... especially since its...sega!? I got the Genesis collection for half off at one point so I'm good!
I am down w 64 for the most part tho, wouldn't we rather play the hd versions;) Will be great to play online, and I'm def getting the controllers! (tho $50 when it was like 2 for $50 for NES and SNES seems steep)
@GrailUK my thoughts exactly … it’s like the direct is in mere hours.. I can imagine this was going to be one of the few, and maybe only 2?, 1st party games announced this direct. Why spoil what little we got ha
Wonderful updates it seems. I’ve been waiting to dive into this one, and almost did, then I saw they were doing so many patches that I decided to wait until done. Also, not sure how I’ll find the time with all the upcoming 1st party games I want, but this one seems to special to miss
@Res462 yessss I’m glad you liked the music! My old friend, Amos Roddy was the composer! So cool seeing him work on more and more projects. He also did In Other Waters, Kingdom Two Crowns, and others
The main problem I have w Fortnite is it’s never ending consumption of attention. It’d be fine if it was cool for a year. But kids growing up now who only want to play this, for yeaaaars, that sucks. There are sooo many other experiences to have.
@Turbo857 I want to agree! But maybe I just haven’t figured it out right yet? I end up button mashing (stick flicking I guess haha) as the strikes I expect will land often don’t due to the way enemies block. Wouldn’t them blocking their left side mean you should slice their right? Doesn’t seem to work for me most times ha! I love the game but the controls have been frustrating. Same with using items ,
And yea as others said, they only made a certain amount of special themes available to get after the fact. The latest ones you’ve had to get during the specific Maximus cup only. I’m sure they’ll open up the rest eventually but I kinda like only being able to acquire them during events.
Tho in the flip, it’d be great to be able to spend those tix on something….
I’m down to give it a whirl! Seems to have better content than Fitness Boxing but we shall see.
Btw the FB2 dlc music pack was one of the absolute worst video game investments ive ever made. $5 not bad. But the songs!? Oh boy are they bad. They’re not even terrible covers of pop songs like the main game has. They’re verrrrry generic “original compositions”. Do not buy! Haha
