Since playing Stardew, I haven't purchased another farming sim. I've eyed a few that have come out since then, but I haven't purchased them. If farming sims are your absolute favorite genre, then no, there aren't too many. For now I am content with Stardew Valley. A major new aspect of gameplay would have to be present for me to consider purchasing another upcoming farm sim at this point. I feel like a lot of them do follow the same formula, more or less.
Haven't finished the Link's Awakening Remaster or Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. . .yet. Haven't touched them in months, don't feel bad about it.
I've started books and movies that I didn't end up caring for. With as many books, games, and movies as there are in the world, it seems silly to slog through them if you aren't enjoying them.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to start my ACNH island over. So mostly playing that. More Gris as well, since I haven't had time to finish it this week.
Other than Splatoon 3, Miitopia, and the next ACNH update, there wasn't much for me. A few games that looked interesting, but not really anything that got me excited.
Like others have said, it would be nice for some older IPs to get some Switch love (Wave Race, 1080°, Pilotwings, etc. . .).
Ever Oasis is still my favorite 3DS game! I still play it from time to time (along with Fantasy Life). Need to finish FE Echoes and start EO Nexus sometime.
I started playing the final demo last night. It's okay, but ugh, grinding. I've only played an hour of the demo so far, so I'm undecided about getting it or not. At this point there are other RPGs that I think I'd rather play. If I do eventually get this, it will probably be waaaaaaaay down the road.
I watched a few reviews of this game on YouTube. Apparently there were some crashing issues on the Switch port. Hopefully they get patched! I feel like this is a game that I could get into, and it's definitely on my wishlist!
How much of a time commitment are these games usually (on average)? I think my biggest reason for hesitancy in jumping into this series is that I generally don't have gobs of free time or the attention span for super long games.
Like others, I am assuming that COVID impacted release schedules for most (if not all) gaming companies. If it is a slow year for Nintendo, then it will be a good year to work on one's backlog (assuming you have one. . .I most certainly do). Nintendo may not have clear release dates for unlisted titles until said titles are closer to completion. It's only just February 1st. I for one am not concerned.
More Forgotton Anne, Immortals Fenyx Rising demo, and will probably work on my ACNH town a little bit. May also play some Kirby's Epic Yarn on the Wii, my kids and I have been enjoying it (and the music is fabulous)!
I've never played an Atelier game, but I'm thinking that I'm going to try the Ryza games. Not right away though. I can't justify buying it right now until I play through my backlog. Great review!
There was a time when I didn't mind grinding at all (like when I was a kid). Now life is too busy for that. It's probably why I don't play as many RPGs as I used to. I don't mind battling enemies on my way to the next destination in a game. If I have to grind though, my interest fizzles pretty quickly. This is why I am thankful for casual play modes becoming more common.
@Galaxy I think my plan at this point is to focus primarily on livestock and artisan goods. I'm assuming I can use sprinklers in the greenhouse still (once I get it unlocked).
Oh, this makes me happy!!! I don't usually play these kinds of games, so I'm glad I can try before I buy! It just looks so interesting (because I love Greek mythology themed stuff).

Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
Wave Race and 1080°. Would also love a Pilotwings more like the N64 version.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 27th)
Most likely just ACNH and Tetris 99 this weekend. Maybe some Splatoon 2.

Re: Best Nintendo DS RPGs
Loved FF:CC Ring of Fates! I never got around to the other one though.
Re: Feature: The Brilliance Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages & Seasons Forced Nintendo To Up Its Game
I guess I am in the minority of those who loved Oracle of Ages. I actually never finished Seasons.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 13th)
ACNH, Splatoon 2, and Tales of Vesperia!

Re: The Dynasty Warriors Live-Action Movie Will Finally Release Next Month

Fantasy Life
Tomodachi Life
Re: Review: Littlewood - A Relaxing Life Sim With A Deliciously Addictive Core

Happy Anniversary, Stardew Valley! Thank you for a wonderful 5 years!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 27th)
Stardew Valley! I finally started my beach farm!
Re: Zelda Remake Specialist Grezzo Appears To Have Helped Out With Miitopia's Nintendo Switch Port
The fact that Grezzo is working on it makes me even more interested in Miitopia!
I hope Grezzo will either port Ever Oasis, or make a sequel for the Switch. It was such a great game that a lot of people missed out on!
Also hope they remaster LOZ Oracle of Ages/Seasons. They did such a great job with Link's Awakening!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 20th)
Started playing Gris last night (for realsies this time), so I'm going to continue playing that. May also put some time into Splatoon 2.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced In The February 2021 Nintendo Direct
Other than Splatoon 3, Miitopia, and the next ACNH update, there wasn't much for me. A few games that looked interesting, but not really anything that got me excited.

Re: The 3DS Game Miitopia Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This May
I missed this one on 3DS. Definitely interested in giving this a go!
Would also love a Tomodachi Life game for Switch (I confess that I spent a stupid number of hours playing that silly game)!
Re: Samurai Warriors 5 Officially Revealed, Comes To Switch This Summer

Will also play some ACNH!

Re: Stardew Valley's 1.5 Update For Consoles Could Be Arriving Very Soon
