Is there casual play mode? If it's a straight port of the originals then probably not. I love these games, but without casual mode these games are so grindy (I don't have the time for that anymore).
Gris is one of my favorite games, so I'll most definitely be giving this a go. This looks so beautiful! Some serious Princess Mononoke vibes happening here.
Been playing a lot of The Oregon Trail (I think it's still 50% off on the eshop right now) this week. Probably more of that, and possibly some more Harvestella (I kind of stopped playing it last weekend because of the Splatfest).
A few days ago I downloaded the Harvestella demo (on a whim). By the time I finished it yesterday I was hooked! Luckily for me, the full game went on a 50% sale yesterday (at least in the US). So there's my weekend game plan. I may also play a little Splatoon 3 as well.
Despite the score, I feel like this game is more or less my speed. I will likely wait for a sale (my backlog is still pretty dense, I can wait). Maybe they'll fix the text size by then (not holding my breath, but it would be nice).
This probably won't be a day one purchase for me, but I think I will get it down the line (especially for the nostalgia factor). I remember putting so many hours into the GC version. Good times!
Don't really have the funds atm. Plus I feel no sense of hurry since Splatoon 2 is a great game. Splatoon 3 is on my wishlist. If I don’t get it as a Christmas or Birthday gift this year, I may get it after the Christmas season is over.
Well, that's one more game on the n64 list that I like. There's still not enough there for me to pay an extra $30 for the NSO expansion membership. I wish we could just purchase the individual games.
Pilot Wings, 1080°, etc. Really I'll probably wait until there's closer to 10 titles that I'd actually play. I don't feel that the extra $30 would be worth it for me at this point.
I've never played any roguelites before, but I feel like this might be a good place to start once I've worked through a bit more of my backlog. Nice review!
Eventually I will get Voice of Cards. I thoroughly enjoyed the demo! I just don't have the funds for it this week (had to take my kitty in for a dermatology check-up. . .thankfully she's doing really well now).

Re: Poll: Which Was Your First 'Final Fantasy'?
Crystal Chronicles was my first. Ring of Fates was my favorite. I also love My Life as King (I wish it would be ported to Switch).
Re: Splatoon 3 Is Hosting A Legend Of Zelda-Themed Splatfest In May
Wisdom, because of the 3, that is what I need most.
Re: Soapbox: Sega's Greatest RPG Is 20 Years Old And Long Overdue A Remaster
Of any potential remake/remaster, this title is highest on my wishlist. Such a great game! The airship battles were my favorite part.

Re: Best Cozy Games On Switch
I would recommend Wandersong as a cozy game for this list.
Edit: Hoa too.
Re: New Avatar Legends DLC Coming To Minecraft This December
I was actually going to get Minecraft for my Switch after Christmas (if not for Christmas), so this is super exciting for me!
Re: Wavetale Is A Visually Stunning Mix Of Zelda And Journey, Out December

Re: Stardew Valley Creator Shares Update On Version 1.6 Release
I actually just started a new farm this past Friday!
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Return To Monkey Island
I haven't played all of the earlier games, but I have played enough of them to know that I will enjoy this when I eventually get around to it.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The Latest Nintendo Direct?
A Wonderful Life and Fire Emblem are my top picks.
Waiting to see how Harvestella and Fae Farm review.
Will probably get Tales of Symphonia and Ryza 3 further down the line.
I am excited that Pilotwings 64 and 1080 were added to NSO. . .just wish we could PURCHASE the individual games we want.
Overall though it was a pretty Nintendo Direct for me.
Re: Ryza Returns In Her Third 'Atelier' Game, Alchemist Of The End & The Secret Key
I still have 1 and 2 in my backlog, so 3 probably isn't going to be a day one buy for me.
Re: Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Remakes A Farming Classic
This probably won't be a day one purchase for me, but I think I will get it down the line (especially for the nostalgia factor). I remember putting so many hours into the GC version. Good times!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 10th)
Animal Crossing and maybe some Splatoon 2. Or maybe I'll actually play something from my ever growing backlog. Anything could happen.
Re: Poll: Splatoon 3 Is Now Available For Nintendo Switch, Are You Getting It?
Don't really have the funds atm. Plus I feel no sense of hurry since Splatoon 2 is a great game. Splatoon 3 is on my wishlist. If I don’t get it as a Christmas or Birthday gift this year, I may get it after the Christmas season is over.
Re: Random: Coral Switch Lite Was Inspired By Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I LOVE my coral Switch Lite! I need to get the left stick replaced soon though.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Nintendo Switch Listing Surfaces Online

Re: Review: Little Noah: Scion Of Paradise - A Fun, Formulaic Roguelite In The Dead Cells Vein
I've never played any roguelites before, but I feel like this might be a good place to start once I've worked through a bit more of my backlog. Nice review!
Re: Round Up: Every Game And Trailer From The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase June 2022
My top picks from this mini:
1. Return to Monkey Island

1 & 2 I am definitely getting! If 3 and 4 review well, then I'll either buy or put on my (ever-growing) wishlist!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 25th Holiday Special)
Possibly going to start Kitaria Fables, which I got for my birthday but haven't started yet. Also ACNH (as usual)!
Re: Video: Here's An Exclusive Look At Aspire: Ina's Tale, A Puzzle Platformer Hitting Switch Next Week

I'll be playing ACNH and West of Loathing (the latter of which I started a couple of days ago). Have a great weekend everybody!
Re: Feature: 14 Wii Games That Deserve Switch Ports
Boom Blox would do well on Switch.
I would also love it if FFCC: My Life as King came to Switch!
Re: Zelda: Wind Waker-Vibes Await In 'Sail Forth', Now Setting Course For Switch In 2022
If they need more time to polish the game, then I am more than happy to wait. I love the look of the gameplay. The music sounds beautiful too!
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th October (North America)
Eventually I will get Voice of Cards. I thoroughly enjoyed the demo! I just don't have the funds for it this week (had to take my kitty in for a dermatology check-up. . .thankfully she's doing really well now).

Re: Random: Uh-Oh, Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer' Is Generating A Lot Of Dislikes
Since nothing in the expansion pack really interests me much (at least not for a $30 increase for a single membership), it's a hard pass for me.
