@bryce951 I love that fake account/sabotage idea

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!

Time to start searching for some classics!

Yes,,, I’ve been loving the Origami King. And I love Tetris 99. Keep the themes coming!

@Kirby_Girl 900 hours wow! I’d love to come visit your island! It must be awesome.

Best news all week. I only played 1 and 2, but they hold such a special place in my heart. Can’t wait for this.

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!

Thank god lol

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.

Nice lil bonus. I was bummed that the images repeat after only 5 days or so.

@Crockin eeee yea I hadn’t heard about any of the controversy until you mentioned this and I looked it up..

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.

One step toward the next generation of humans unable to do anything without looking at a screen

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..

I’ve been loving Clubhouse games so far and have only played about 10 of em in single player mode. Glad it’s doing well so far!

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!

If they do Golden Axe I’ll cry.

@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’!?

Love the article tho!!

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.

@OorWullie @dtfearthebeard yea!
Also I think Gamexplain said this Piano game also makes use of placing switches together to extend the piano. Pretty cool. Wish more games were integrating that feature.

Hadn’t heard of this one till now/- gonna have to check it’!

Why!?!? Haha yea maybe it was all the people who don’t have a switch and were sad they were missing out on the hype So they gave it a whirl. Still can’t fathom why so many people paid out of pocket.

Might have to check this out next time I want a punishing experience. Bummer to hear about the soundtrack— seems like a missed opportunity for a game with so much going for it..

@StevenG there’s beauty in park jams and street parties. Sometimes you just have to subject people to fun. (Tho of course it’s good to be respectful)

I get what you mean now about making tapes. Think you’re right about that;)

Used this last night to invite my brother — was so stoked to see this implemented. It’s super easy. The only thing that’s a bit of a bummer is you have to wait in the character select screen until they join.

@Underoath_048 I don’t blame you for thinking so, but there are a number of tape manufacturers in the states. I’ve put out a few releases on cassette as well as a bunch of my colleagues in the independent music world.

That said, @ventilator they’ve been a trend for years now just depends on what circle you’re in I guess. Lots of new music comes out on cassette.

There’s beauty to the format. I love being able to take my boombox to the park or wherever. Feels much better than using my phone with a Bluetooth.

So stoked to hear it turned out so well. I can’t wait to get into this with my brother n friends. Got many memories of SOR. Especially 2! Accidental blows thrown led to serious rage haha. So funny they acknowledged that in the PR about the 1v1 fight mode.

Just don’t get the “wait for a sale” ppl... how is this not worth $25!? Paid $60 for the ogs back in the day.

Anyone know if they’ve changed the voice overs? I’ve heard that the English acting I’m the original was just so so??

@Maxz I agree totally. But don’t fall victim! It’s not worth it!! Haha

@Cathousemaster I felt the same way. Big disappointment.

@LunarFlame17 I concur... had a really tough time with the voice acting.

I concur. Was kinda bummed we haven’t seen a new theme in so long, expected ACNH to get one. This is rad enough , but it is funny that the game isn’t purchasable!

Disappointed

@Juga nice ! Yea indeed thanks for the detailed response.

@Desrever haha point taken!
Tho, now I still don’t know why we need this article - when it was immediately unavailable after posting. Dammit!

@Juga indeed. I wonder, how do you enjoy having both systems?? I’ve been wanting to get a Lite for my travel gaming but not sure how I feel about the primary console/transferring data situation. Do you find it easy enough/ is it worth it?

@HappyFuzzy true indeed.

@Nye1779 ah yea I’ve heard it’s amazing. But also a little concerned about the scope of the game... same with Xenoblade. Never played it so really tempted but not sure I want to invest 100 hrs into it.

@Tandy255 yes! To each their own, but I just can’t help but feel that the game is not meant to be rushed... plenty of time to enjoy island life.

This sounds so rad.
I was so stoked to see you credit the composer! Thank you! I’ve known Amos for nearly 20 years now. Such a great person and a very talented musician. So touched to see his work reaching more audiences. Can’t wait to dive in to this!

I’m really hoping for some good turnip prices too. Tho I’m content taking my time with my island. I don’t get why so many people want to just rush thru everything in the game.. it really takes the joy out of every little progression. And that’s just not what crossing is about:) looking forward to the fishing tourney and bunny day too

I was gonna get the hat and it sold out too quick. I did get the power up hip pack tho! I dig the all over print stuff. Other pieces are just so so

Yesss thank you! One of my recommended games to cover.

My 2 cents - love the vibe, the writing, The singing, the uniqueness all around. Did not love the platforming/some of the oddly infuriating bits, and I wished there was just a bit more going with the gameplay— by about halfway thru I just wanted to get it over with which is too bad bc it really is a charming experience.
