I remember when 3DS first launched I decided to pass on it and wait for the Vita instead. Years later my Vita did okay, but it can't compare to the great games I eventually played on 3DS. Such a great console and I'll always keep that 3D slider maxed!
I played this a bit on Apple Arcade and totally agree with the review. The story bits are wonderful, but the actual gameplay was just too shallow to keep me going.
I'm currently on my 4th playthrough of this game! One of my favs. I honestly can't see how Nintendo could make it work on Switch though, unless it forces you to play with detached joycons.
I'm in the process of replaying Super Paper Mario, and it really doesn't hold up to how I remembered it. I enjoyed Sticker Star however and would probably put it at #3 if I had my own list. Going into that one with very low expectations helped a lot.
Don't think I would pay full price again to replay this, but maybe I'll get it on sale sometime. Really wish they had added some new "things" to collect though, like in the first two games. I got a little tired of gathering nothing but fruit after a while.
The console does have a nice look to it. Wish they had gone with an actual d-pad for the controller instead of that weird disc thing, but maybe it'll work alright.
Yeah I'm definitely feeling down about the lack of E3, but mainly just missing out on the excitement of new Nintendo stuff. It's been a weird summer for sure.
I was waiting on a fix for the performance issues many reviewers mentioned and maybe this is it! Been wanting to give this game a try for quite some time.
Yes! Donkey Kong Country! Also the Immortal is a really impressive NES game, but maaaan is it ever tough. I'll probably end up using the rewind feature a bit on that one.
I've got my left joycon packed up to be shipped out today for some bad drifting. It only started a couple months ago, but got hard to deal with very quickly. I ended up buying the very expensive pro controller so I can continue to play while it's away for repair. I hope it doesn't happen to my right one too!
@ChromaticDracula I've still got the original cart, so I can always play it that way, but I just love the idea of having all my favorites on the Switch.
I got an email from Spotify the other day saying my account had been accessed from somewhere else with a link to restore my account by resetting my password. It was totally fake, and if I had used the link to change my password, I obviously would have had more problems.
Could these Nintendo account issues be related to a similar phishing scam?
This is pretty sad, but I don't imagine it's the end of E3, just a necessary precaution for this year. I'm sure it'll be back again next year! Maybe some day I'll live the dream and actually go to it.
Finallyyyy. It's not perfect, but at least it's something to ease the anxiety I was having about my town being stuck on a device that may be replaced in the future.
Augh Nintendo why haven't I given up on you already. This new Animal Crossing could have been a perfect masterpiece from what I'm seeing, and you've gotta go and spoil it.
I was excited, and then I read the details. At least Shadow of the Ninja is a pretty cool game, but none of these are gonna get me to boot up the NES/SNES apps.
YOU CAN'T TRANSFER YOUR SAVE DATA TO A NEW SWITCH!?
Alright Nintendo, I've been a massive fan for years but please stop screwing around. It's time to stop punishing your consumers over your wants and fears. Give this, Splatoon 2, and everything else support for cloud saves already.
@First_Amendment I definitely prefer Xenoblade Chronicles X over the other two, but I just found the faces in 2 looked more pleasant than most of the grumpy looking faces in X. Some tweaks to the eyes and mouths might be enough though.

Re: Braid Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Next Year
I always figured this game was overrated, but then I gave it a solid chance and loved it. It's once of those games that really sticks with you.

Re: Random: Someone Made A LEGO NES With Side-Scrolling Mario Long Before Nintendo Did
I hope this person gets some credit!
Re: Atari Has Looked To Nintendo For Inspiration With Its New VCS Console

Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Four More Titles
Panel de Pon!?!? I was just thinking the other week about how it would be a perfect choice since they can't do Tetris Attack due to licensing stuff.
And Rygar! I wouldn't mind a couple more NES games, but that's a great choice if they can only do one.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Nintendo Switch Online NES Games
I've been wondering lately if we'll ever see some new additions to this thing. If we do I've love to see Faxanadu at some point!

Re: Ninjala Open Beta Is Now Available To Download On Switch For Free
This game actually looks pretty good, considering it takes a ton of inspiration from Splatoon. I'll probably give it a try.
Re: Random: This Tiny Update Would Make A World Of Difference In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The change I'd like to see is being able to press left/right to change the value of the "Grab 1" option in the inventory.
Re: Castlevania-Like Platformer Rogue Legacy Is Getting A New-Look Sequel
This is great! Rogue Legacy was one of the very few roguelikes I actually loved.

Players are doing what now? Unbelievable!
Re: The End Of An Era: E3 2020 Is Officially Cancelled

Re: Review: Kunai - Pacing Problems Undermine This Otherwise Likeable Roguelike
Is this actually a roguelike? Or is that meant to be metroidvania?
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Will Support Save File Transfers "Later This Year"
Finallyyyy. It's not perfect, but at least it's something to ease the anxiety I was having about my town being stuck on a device that may be replaced in the future.
Re: Recovering Your Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data From Nintendo Is A One-Time-Only Deal

Everyone should play this game, it's so well done. Just hearing the music is making me wanna go back and play through it again.
Re: Review: Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold - Endearing RPG Action With Bags Of Character
What is with this dialogue? And covfefe? Really?
Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Library With Four More Games

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Might Contain In-Game Purchases
I've been saving a voucher for this game, and I'm gonna keep saving it until I hear some initial impressions I guess.
Re: Grab Animal Crossing: New Horizons With One Of Your Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers
I'm in North America and have been saving a voucher to get this game, but maybe I won't even be able to do that? Guess I'll have to look into it.

Re: Looks Like The US Might Get The Best Animal Crossing: New Horizons Pre-Order Bonus
So I wonder... if there's no indication of an Animal Crossing Lite Switch yet, should we assume it's not gonna happen?
Re: Alienware's Impressive Switch-Like Concept UFO Wins Best-In-Show Award
But guys, it has a d-pad.
Re: Poll: What Other Wii U Games Do You Want To See On Switch?
@First_Amendment I definitely prefer Xenoblade Chronicles X over the other two, but I just found the faces in 2 looked more pleasant than most of the grumpy looking faces in X. Some tweaks to the eyes and mouths might be enough though.
Re: Poll: What Other Wii U Games Do You Want To See On Switch?
Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch with some tweaks to make the faces look more like the ones in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 would make my decade.
Re: 23 Years On, And We Still Can't Believe This Classic SNES RPG Didn't Get A US Release
If they're gonna do this they should release Soulblazer and Illusion of Gaia too! Some of my favourite games of all time.
Re: Review: Arcade Archives In The Hunt - One Of The Most Unique Shmups You'll Ever Play
I had no idea this existed until just recently. That man boss thing looks insaaaane. I'd love to try it.
Re: Random: Xbox Series X? That's Just A Tall GameCube, The Twitter Masses Say
It looks kinda cool actually. Only issue I can see is that it's physically impossible to pick up. They should add a handle.
Re: Video: Check Out Nintendo's Japanese 'Indie World' Presentation
That first game looks awesome. I hope it comes out here eventually.
Re: Nintendo Is Offering A 50% Discount On Its Wireless NES Controllers For Switch
I'd consider getting a second pair if I could. The original price was sorta steep, but this feels like a real deal.
Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Six Classic Games
This is great! I've had a really strong urge to play Breath of Fire 2 lately, and the NES games they chose are excellent!
Re: The Legend Of Zelda Is Coming To Super Mario Maker 2
I just bought this game last week finally, so it's cool to know there can still be new things coming.
