This whole game has been such a sad affair, like its own mini-Cyberpunk. So many people were excited for it at announcement and it's just been failure at every turn.

Seems about right. Glad I picked up Mineral Town instead. Simple, but polished and with better characters definitely vibes with me better than "we gave you a ton to do but it's jank and everyone is boring as hell".

These suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, how can people defend these when they look worse than Platinum and will have less content?

@jump ditto on the art style. I care way more about how it plays than how it looks, but the character models look like cheap rubber pleasure dolls. Could change a lot though, seems to be very early in development.

Kenny Omega, not "Ortega".

C'mon now.

Ys and Pikmin are both excellent but 2 ports being the month's highlight is a shame. Can only guess how plans may have altered, but I'm not wanting, can't imagine anyone is so starved for games there's literally nothing to play.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there go my hopes of Travis Touchdown being a full character.

It's a really solid game. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Pokemon and it won't win any originality contests, but the campaign itself is better than any Pokemon campaign since gen 5. Good writing, open routes and a lot of freedom in moving around early, solid bosses (the Tyrants are way more fun than recent gyms). Plus the devs respond well to critique and have plans for free DLC. If that makes you "angry", you kinda suck, sorry to say.

Also:

Masquiti gang rise up.

This WOULD be GOTY in 2020, huh?

24 out 25. Botched the Able Sisters question (really, they're all hedgehogs, how am I supposed to tell which one it is based on a silhouette?)

Fabraz is maybe the most overlooked indie dev right now. Still a lot to see on this but I'm pretty confident it'll turn out great.

I backed on Switch at an entirely too high amount and barely touched it after experiencing how poor the version is. Honestly pissed at IGA and the dev team for it, and yeah, very undeserved achievement selling a bunch of half-broken copies before release to fund said project.

Looked like edgy trash, not surprised.

Bought it yesterday and it's really bad, but bad in a funny enough way to be worth a buck if you're into "so bad it's good".

I've never been less interested in a game.

I just checked this, apparently it's already over cuz I was gonna pick up the Ninja Storm Trilogy and it's back to full price.

Having all the DLC included free is what's keeping me interested in the re-buy. It all seemed neat on PS4 but was super pricey for what it was. Lack of crossplay is a mild bummer, but there will still be a community and multiplayer isn't the main draw anyways. This is one of my favorite games ever, will probably triple dip.

Holy crap the Legends edition comes with a custom foosball table hahahahaha. That's gonna be so pricey but I waaaaaaaaaaaant it.

Beyond pumped for this, it looks real solid so far.

Killer7 would be awesome. A No More Heroes 1 & 2 bundle prior to 3's release should be a given, I'll be pretty bummed if it doesn't happen. Don't really care about Killer Is Dead, but Silver Case & Flower, Sun and Rain would be kinda cool, if not things I'm necessarily clamoring for.

@playstation_king Probably get these this summer, actually. Farming has been datamined and makes sense for summer, and Kapp'n and Tortimer Island are kinda summer themed.

I've done all the May sensitive stuff, so I'm really just popping in to check shops and talk to villagers right now. It's gonna ebb and flow when new stuff comes in. I'll be obsessed with the new fish and bugs next month, get my Wedding Season stuff, then it'll calm down again. Regular long session have died down, but still wanna play each day.

Generally makes sense even if I don't fully agree.

Three Houses took the crown from Genealogy but a remake could see it claim it back. Other than that, Blazing Blade probably deserves a spot, Awakening and Mystery not so much. Swap 'em for Path of Radiance and Thracia 776.

Cheating is a weird thing to talk about in AC because it's not competitive in any way, but making use of things like TTing, dupe glitches, and hacking completely imbalance the trade economy, making it much more difficult for players who don't engage in those things to participate on a fair playing field. If you duped thousands of NMTs at the beginning of the game, 150 for a Great Statue is nothing: it's astronomical for others.

Holy crap, AC: NH is gonna end up a 30 million+ worldwide seller by the end of the Switch life cycle, huh? As if it wasn't crazy enough how fast it sold to start, the momentum is still strong as hell and we haven't even seen most of the game's updates or the inevitable onslaught of merchandising after Nintendo saw the early numbers. We could be looking at a Pokemon-in-the-90s type phenomenon here.

So the only great one is Wild Guns and Wild Guns Reloaded is on the Switch already and I have it.

Nice.

This isn't hard, Nintendo. Your SNES library is insane, just give us the games.

Edit: Panel de Pon is actually not a bad pick, just not personally into match threes. Rygar is meh, OLB is also nothing special.

No. You were supossed to tell me it was bad so I could pass on it without feeling stupid.

Collector's edition looks awesome...

@e-love I think SoulSilver might've done better than HeartGold but I can't remember.

Gotta be Litten for me. Obviously the Charmander line is iconic and probably the best argument against though, particularly including all the different forms. But Litten is adorable, Torracat might be the best mid ever, and as a wrestling fan, Incineroar and Hawlucha are my favorite 'Mons.

It's really not that much effort, and if holiday season is rolling around, why wouldn't you try to sell an $80 handheld with a massive library of great games? 3DS support is clearly slowed and the only game I was bummed was 3DS only was WarioWare Gold (which realistically wouldn't even work on Switch). I mostly play my Switch, but my 3DS still gets play and it's still a great alternative for families who can't drop Switch money. I know I was poor as hell growing up and the $80 2DS would've rocked my world.

Masuda has had some good ideas over the years, and I am getting Let's Go. But good. Considering just how much better Black 2/White 2 were than Black/White, and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon better than Sun/Moon, the rookie teams, while not perfect, are still showing much more ambition. Black 2/White 2 in particular were awesome and I'm still waiting for another Pokemon with that many fun features, difficulty levels, and an achievement system.

@retro_player_22 I guess it was the Genesis version, my mistake. Still, even with the Genesis version of Pit-Fighter (which is better), you seriously think it's anything close to a masterpiece? You're fine to like Bubsy, it's not an issue. I spent a stupid amount of money on the Night Trap Collector's Edition. We've both got our quirks. But you're not going to convince anyone who's played the old games that they're good just by saying old magazines scored them well and our hardware must be broken.

@retro_player_22 How can a game be bad when two really old reviews during the most incestuous period of game publisher/gaming magazine relations said it was good? Really? I'll grant that Bubsy 1 and 2 are not AS bad as Bubsy 3D, but those scores are massively inflated. They're still really annoying and kinda play like ass. GamePro gave the SNES version of Pit-Fighter a perfect score back in the day. Publications were transparently completely full of it back in the day.

@retro_player_22 hoo boy this be a pack of lies

Every Bubsy game has been bad, but considering the Runner guys are doing this one means this'll probably be the first good one.

It’s difficult to express just how much this isn’t for me.

To the few of you who assume not caring about Fallout 76 not being on the Switch is a lie of jealousy, I seriously DO NOT CARE. I appreciate Doom on the system and I'm looking forward to Doom: Eternal, but if Fallout 4 is any indication (not to mention the statement by Bethesda about how broken 76 is going to be at launch and they're relying on their customers to do free alpha testing for them), 76 is going to be hot swamp ass.

@YoshiAngemon not impossible, but unlikely. One, there are other, bigger NES games that have versions on Switch outside of NSO, so having those but holding off on Disney Afternoon because games were coming to NSO doesn't make much sense. Beyond that, in order to have it make sense to not put the collection on the system, they'd have to do all six games, with updated features, for free. That doesn't make sense from a business perspective when the Disney Afternoon Collection port would be less work for more money. I think it's a lot more likely that we see the collection ported next year than seeing any of the games on NSO, and even then, I'd say the port is a 50-50 chance.

This mainly just reminded me that Disney Afternoon Collection isn't on Switch for no discernible reason.

Aw man, how many dumb parents are gonna buy this for their kids?

This is one to look out for, kids.

These will sell well and that makes me

A good first step towards becoming an entertainment company would be to get more apps on the Switch.

Still crazy to me that Splatoon 2 has outsold SMO and BOTW in Japan. Can't be overstated just how massive Splatoon is as a franchise for Nintendo now.

Seriously, online Super Dodge Ball is gonna be sick. I like to whine about not getting enough extra free stuff as much as the next guy, but them optimizing all of these old games for online is badass for retro fans and takes work, so chill. You'll get yr SNES games next year.

Golf game sucks, but Solomon's Key and Super Dodge Ball are gems, real great additions.

Really glad this seems to have turned out as great as I'd hoped. Very excited for my Japanese collector's edition to come next week.

The two bottom tiers are available through Amazon Japan (just like Rockman 11). I got myself the one with all the cards and posters because the posters look rad.

I just want the dock. Already have the Switch and early supporters shouldn't have to buy a whole new system when it would be easy to just sell the docks separately. I love Nintendo, but crap like that and locking Mew behind the Pokeball Plus suck so much, so anti-consumer.

Yoshi's Flippin' Island would've been much better. Eh.
