@Quarth These have grinding within grinding within grinding to the level of an artform. Defeat mobs to level up your team, get their loot, travel inside the loot, level up your team while levelling up the loot by defeating specialists inside the loot and clearing 5 levels at a time and getting even more loot. Use the specialists to add properties to the loot. Hit bigger mobs with the upgraded loot.
@Quarth You'll never complete any of them. So much levelling and grinding is possible if you like that sort of thing. D1 is the classic story but D5 is the most recent until now. The core gameplay is largely unchanged between each though.
The core game is great. The board game is my daughter's favourite and we have the European Expansion. The board game is surprisingly luxurious for the price and offers the solo-play automa. I do also want a digital edition but I get the sense that its true [digital] platform will be iPad. Switch is, at least, portable for solo-play on the go, and I will get it when it's on sale.
One thing the reviewer may have missed is the more social "pink" powers that trigger when an opponent takes a certain action, and the European Expansion "teal" powers that trigger at the end of the round.
Have the physical plus European Expansion. My daughter never wants to stop playing it. I do have a couple of 30% off vouchers for the Steam version that came in the box, but the Switch version is the one I've been waiting for.
@dew12333 Enjoy the paying VAT and import fees (under currently no trade-deal) on EU imports too from January. Also the UK has no trade-deal with the US in place for January yet, so we could be facing even higher import fees.
Apart from no 24 hour clock mode this thing makes a wonderful desktop clock. I don't care that it's only got 3 games. It's perfect for zoning out on Zoom and Webex calls. I put it right under the camera.
Screen not sharp? We used to play this on 11 inch cathode ray TVs through an RF cable. Screen is plenty sharp. Downsides for me are no kickstand (I'll be 3D printing one soon I expect) and no 24 hour clock setting.
The Mario Drawing Song. Is the best thing about this week. The slightly not so great thing is that the support page is 404 and I don't know how to turn off the ticking on the clock without just turning off the volume.
The only problem I have with that 2nd screenshot is the level itself. That stupid rotating cube, combined with the camera and Mario's eagerness to slip off the sides that you can barely see. Sunshine is a really frustrating game for me.
It's... It's an inflatable rat. Also look at all the haafu kids in the advert. Strange that it's nothing but. Saying this as a father of a haafu kid myself BTW.

What better way to celebrate Monday than with mediocre discounts. Sum that start of this week up perfectly.
Re: Famitsu Delivers Its Verdict On Disgaea 6: Defiance Of Destiny
"100% complete in 200 hours" Ha ha that's not Disgaea.

@YANDMAN My bruised thumb with an 8bitdo gamepad and failed SFII combos respectfully disagrees.
Re: Hardware Review: 8BitDo's Arcade Stick Grants That Coin-Op Feel To Your Switch
All I need to know is, will this stop me sucking at Street Fighter 2, Pokken and Dragon Ball FighterZ?

I just printed this stand: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/game-watch-2020-stand-nintendo-super-mario-bros-twittytwitty
It's a bit thin and the angle is too high, but props for getting this free STL out so quickly. I can fix the angle and build quality.

Re: Just Dance 2021 Launches On Switch Today, Here's The Full Track List
Lots of Tik Tok dance songs. Also Get Get Down by Paul Johnson! That's a legit house track. Getting this as soon as the price drops to around £25.
Re: With The DLC All Wrapped Up, Here Are The 234 Pokémon Still Unavailable In Sword And Shield
This isn't the issue for me. My problem is that Pokémon Shield is so boring and slow to play. It's such a B-grade title.

Re: Full Smash Bros. Ultimate Minecraft Song List Revealed - Seven Tracks In Total
C418 is very capable of putting out some bangers to suite the Sumaburo mood. It's the dull spot on an otherwise very exciting looking DLC.

Re: Random: Some 3D All-Stars Players Aren't Happy About The Visible Debug Cubes In Super Mario Sunshine
The only problem I have with that 2nd screenshot is the level itself. That stupid rotating cube, combined with the camera and Mario's eagerness to slip off the sides that you can barely see. Sunshine is a really frustrating game for me.
Re: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Buyers Left Upset At Amazon UK's Sneaky Pre-Order Tactics
They lost my copy. "Parcel handed to resident" my arse and now no guarantee I'll ever get a copy.
Re: Poll: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Amazon UK just lost my order.
Says "handed to resident". Amazon now out of stock for replacement.
