I completely agree, and appreciate the positive article! There wasn’t one game in this showcase that bummed me out, and at least 4 I want to get. Really stoked for A Short Hike and Spiritfarer - which I think is fully worth the $30. I’ve seen some people bemoaning that price tag, but like you said, you spent $70 on way worse way shorter crap back in the day. Perhaps this leads to my one negative (positive?) thing I feel I gotta point out— we are spoiled with game prices these days! We really shouldn’t complain when a well made indie costs more than $15, something I see all too often. Supporting these teams is important, the work they put in is mega, and again- we used to pay way more for way shorter and crappier games!
Though I will argue that voting by mail is really the best way to do it. It’s how Oregon has done it forever. It makes it so easy for everyone to participate, and there is actually very little room for error/fraud. Tho of course examples can be found. There are Just as many examples or more of voting machine tomfoolery.
I never like how policies are snuck into bills it always feels shady. That said, I Do support the idea of bailing out the USPS as it’s a public service that is important to maintain. The republican argument is that It’s not profitable, But that shouldn’t matter. Its not meant to be for profit, I mean is the military profitable? How much money do we throw there. Or how much do we spend to bail out banks who perpetrate crimes (looking at you Obama) Also they actually were profitable until Republicans passed a bill requiring them to put aside pay for future employees in 2006- check into that..
And yea it’s not Trump doing but it is the guy he appointed as head postmaster. Look into DeJoy, he’s fired top USPS employees along w these removals of sorting machines and boxes Happening in many places- really don’t see why they’d be replacing them. I know of some in my city that are missing so I’ll keep an eye out for the shiny new ones tho! DeJoy is heavily invested in other mail carrying companies... again it’s all money related. And Trump really doesn’t want everyone to have a fair shot at voting because he would most likely lose. So they’re a perfect partnership right now.
And constant corruption is all just part of the operation , Republican or Democrat. Nothing new about it, but our current leader is really overt with his tactics.. plenty of examples to look up especially in regards to corporate interests investments into shaping policies.
@Alztru definitely! Last time I played I checked and saw someone at World 80 or something so it definitely keeps going. Tho I will point out some negatives to be fair—
The story is whatever, same w all the NPCs tho I like the villain. Much of the scenery/courses repeat themselves. But that’s not why you’re playing the game so it doesn’t really matter to me:)
@DoktorTotenKopf @kalmaro Well yea pretty much all that stuff the Doktor said is true except the riots every day thing. All of the ugliness of this country is showing itself. But we’re not a desolate wasteland yet. For all the bad actors/idiots there are way more people with good hearts/intelligence. We have to keep believing in positive change and work for it too! (Agape)Love is an action
@Alztru I can recommend whole heartedly. I’ve been loving it. I’ve played it about 22 days (taking some off here and there). So far there is a ton of content. I’m in world 8, but I’ve seen people up to world 50 something in the rankings So I still don’t know how many there are.. but the worlds are big, so estimating going at my rate it’d take about 130 days of playing to get to world 50!? Then there are all of the mini games which are fun and plenty. The rhythm game mode is pretty cool tho not huge. Also you can make your own custom workouts based on the exercise “skills” you’ve unlocked - which would give endless potential bc you’re just doing the workouts. Also there’s a mode where you can just work your arms out while doing whatever while the switch is in sleep mode which is just a lil bonus to earn extra items and exp (and muscles!).
I’m a skinny guy but I’ve had a lot of body pain as my supporting/smaller muscles haven’t been strong enough which leads to overusing big muscle groups. Ring fit has really given me a lot of muscle build up which is helping my posture and everything. Also my mood.
Plus the game is just fun and so upbeat! Not a perfect game by any means but as a workout experience it’s awesome. Hope that helps haha
I just went thru a major death experience in my life. Lost my love after helping her fight thru sickness and debilitation. This game seems to be coming at a perfect time for me.
From what I can tell so far, I think the way they are exploring death in this game is healthy and important. I feel like we could all benefit from having healthy representations of passing on. And supporting each other to the other side. We are so comfortable with violence, yet so afraid to acknowledge the inevitable. The best we can do is love each moment we have together and truly bring meaning to our time that we have.
@Deltath ah I feel ya,, yea that is the woe of couch multiplayer these days...
And yea I mean it could definitely be better. And I’d love more depth in the allies contributions, weapons and items etc. but you can’t argue that it isn’t super unique. And I love how they integrate more traditional platform into fights here and there too!
@Deltath I was wondering the same thing... second playthrough!? I also do think the battle system is super creative and constantly changing. Unlike many rpgs where you can just hit A over and over.
That said I dig this article and couldn’t agree more in that comedy is so important. I would love to see more games implementing it as a focus. A new Wario Ware is much needed right now...
Also I highly recommend Heave Ho! Especially for 3-4 player times. It’s had my friends and I legitimately rolling on the ground laughing!
@Bret + @RPGamer sometimes you just say things as an absolute that can come off entitled or ignorant and that’s how that came off so there it is. All of this is personal opinion conjecture mind you, and feelings change.
That said, why I don’t like the idea of it coming to Switch is bc I personally don’t feel that Microsoft’s game library fits with Nintendo. I don’t like it. I don’t see how it makes sense. Though admittedly more and more these genres and types of games are being dropped on Switch with way less quality than Xbox first party titles, so there’s no avoiding the ultra violence, same ol same bs these days. That said , I also just think it’d be better all around for competition and such to have them keep doing their own thing. Anddd I’m resistant to subscription services. So there’s some of my personal reasons for not wanting game pass on switch. I’m not gonna stop anyone else from wanting it.
I don’t have any problem with the battle system, I’m only about to beat world 2 but so far I’m not bored at all. I’m 36 and have played my fair share of RPGs and I gotta say, I was disappointed at first abt the lack of exp/traditional stuff , but when it’s come down to it I really appreciate that they are trying something new. Almost every battle feels different bc of how they switch up placements and enemies. And the boss battles are some of the most challenging I’ve found in any recent nintendo game.
@Benjinat nice , glad you found Nintendolife , it’s pretty positive here overall.
Stoked to finally be able to get the Luigi Mansion one. That’s the only one I’m missing. I love the themes, but I do think they could be more creative most of the time.
I was so bummed. I got up early to pre order had everything in my cart and the shipping took forever, pocket was sold out when I went to my final payment screen at 8:09. That said yea I’m not too bummed to save $388 on something I won’t see for a year..
@Crockin yeaa I’m usually sorta disappointed with Nintendo boss battles. They always look so cool but end up being so simple ha. I just fought the water volumental and couldn’t ever line it up right to block that dam mega water blast attack. I actually get stumped a lot in battles even in this early part of the game. Makes me feel dumb sometimes haha
@Crockin awesome perspective. I’ve only beat the first world so far but I’m really enjoying it. More than I thought I would based off what I’ve read. The battles aren’t boring at all to me. Sometimes I would like more depth to the combat and character progression, but it feels like you have just enough “leveling up” to satisfy my inner rpg nerd. I really hope people don’t ignore this game for what it doesn’t have like you said!
I didn’t read the announcement from Nintendo, so I was a bit disappointed. I expected a new reveal or two at least but happy for SMT fans and the Cadence DLC was pretty cool. If they do these monthly, that would change everyone’s tune I think!
More tempting details trying to pull me into farm life..... been holding off as Animal Crossing demands so much of my mindless repetitive game time. Is there room for both!? Maybe during covid times..
Still haven’t played Xenoblade, but I love the theme. The music’s awesome. Agree about the Animal Crossing theme music, its so chill I seem to play better. Keep the themes coming.
I concur. Definitely a fun way to get jumping (which I’ve heard is a great way to get some cardio in - jumping jacks too!)
Not sure how the “fun for a day or two” complaint make sense. The whole point is to jump rope for a few minutes each day. It’s not meant to grab your attention longer than that. Thanks Nintendo!
Yeaaa I’ve been underwhelmed by Wargroove. It’s decent enough, but nothing special. It does scratch that Advance Wars itch I guess. I often feel cheated by the difficulty (ie spawning enemies out of nowhere), but maybe I’m just not good enough.
Nice! Was just reading about how good jumping rope and jumping jacks are for cardio — something I never do. This might just get me jumping! Since I still can’t get ring fit..
@SuperWeird yea! Is it just me or is it annoying to have retro game collections with many titles together, the have these sorts of retro titles taking up space individually?? Really makes my library feel unbalanced :/
@Benji80 same. I was really thrown off bc I waited until all the patches were finished. Thought the game would be running smoothly now but I’ve been experiencing a ton of lag, long load times, and shoddy graphical glitches..
Favorite game of the year for me as well, alongside the opposite sweetness nature of Animal Crossing. I am still so impressed with how well it turned out. The length is not an issue for me. The previous games were shorter, it’s the nature of the genre. Plenty to love and master here!
@BenAV same! I prefer physical for non indies (since most aren’t available physical it would be odd to me to only have some occasional titles on cartridge I just get all indies digital) but felt this would be better to always have accessible for those quick dips!
Bought a one for my brother so we can play online - hope finding a friend is easy enough. Shame about no voice chat / app support!!
@peterjack right!?! It’s really weird. Even if they just did a simple teaser that didn’t show much of the game. It would’ve made the mini so much stronger. Only thing I can think of is that they were planning on waiting for their E3 direct for the Origami reveal ...
I’ve been resisting the Chronicles for too long. Xenogears is one of my favorite rpgs of all time. I can’t deny the Xeno any longer!! Tho think I do have to wait a bit longer till I can play on TV mode (stuck in handheld for a while).. feel it’ll be a better experience for such an epic.
I don’t even understand why they’d allow nips to get that high in value. It seems counterintuitive to disrupt the natural slowness of the games progress. What’s the fun in paying off all house upgrades ina week’!?
Had a feeling this was coming but didn’t expect it so soon after the Ring Fit theme— I love these unlocking these. Can’t wait to see what they do for AC. Only missed the Luigi’s Mansion so far, which is one of the only ones that you can’t buy with tix.

Re: Ring Fit Adventure Is Getting Its Own Direct In China Tomorrow
@Kalmaro indeed I hear ya

Anyways none of this is fun
Re: Ring Fit Adventure Is Getting Its Own Direct In China Tomorrow
@Kalmaro I hear ya, this stuff can be overlooked , but unfortunately I’m seeing a lot of it firsthand in Portland OR. We’ve got many white supremacist antagonizers that love coming into downtown and causing trouble - very much in the Neo fascism wing of thinking. As for voter suppression, it’s been happening for a long time especially targeting African American communities lots of data on this but here’s one place to look - https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/565355/
And currently the president is actively removing sorting machines and mail drop off boxes quite literally, just as one part of a multi pronged attack on the USPS - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/08/usps-removes-mailboxes-in-portland-and-eugene-cites-declining-mail-volume.html%3foutputType=amp
And constant corruption is all just part of the operation , Republican or Democrat. Nothing new about it, but our current leader is really overt with his tactics.. plenty of examples to look up especially in regards to corporate interests investments into shaping policies.
But I’m still optimistic!
