Yeah I've pretty much given up on this it's been a huge mess all day. I never managed to even get it in the cart.

So i'm about 8 hours in, currently stuck trying to figure out where to go. I'm enjoying the game for the most part, but feel the first game was definitely better overall. There are not nearly as many bosses in the game as before, and it is odd to skip them though i've killed them all still at this point. It's very easy to get lost, but generally up until this point i've finally figured out where to go. There are points on the map it points you towards, but getting there is up for you to figure out. I still think it's worth a play if you enjoyed the first one, but I don't think many people will enjoy it quite as much as the first one. There are interesting things here though including the story, and the music is a bit more hit and miss compared to the first games soundtrack that I probably liked slightly better. I'd say a 7/10 is probably fairer at this point in time, but I reserve judgement until i finish the game i'm at 78% map at 8 hours in.

It's funny the first people looking to raise the price is for a game riddled with microtransactions already and providing crappy versions of games at times or bad support.

If this ever goes down to 20 bucks I might pick it up (probably not since it's Nintendo), otherwise nah. I do like several of the games on it though.

For that price it should be able to play NES games, so ridiculous the price of legos lol

Well I think I'm finally going to grab Grandia HD Collection at $27.99, tempted to grab Blaphemous at 12.99 also, but I need to grab the Pokemon Expansion pass still for next week and this doesn't even factor in with me still working on Xenoblade lol

Seems like a bonehead move to skip the switch, I doubt it's going to be that exhausting to make this game. I do love the first 2 games, and may get it on PS4 if we don't get a switch version.

Someday the e-shop will be fixed (maybe!), so much junk even if you want to find stuff on sale there's so much junk to sift through. Stuff like this definitely is not helping the e-shop though.

interesting list, definitely a big variety

I'm waiting for them to overprice this game . If it's 30 bucks i might grab it though.

Meant to pick it up for 5 bucks on that sale, but forgot as I was busy with some other games. Nice thing is it does go on sale pretty often at least.

@thesilverbrick Playing old classics tends to be my problem as well, though I did plow through FF7 remake, currently replaying through Secret of Mana at the moment! I need to work on so many games especially being stuck at home so much.

Nintendo is so far behind with anything related to playing with friends, friend codes is just one of the small things that is annoying among all other issues.

Pretty disappointing if this ends up true. I just want stuff for my switch because it's the console I play the most now, but there's just really a lack of stuff i'm interested in after Xenoblade HD hits end of the month.

I liked it, but the faces are off, and the mana beast is a bit off. Still cool work otherwise from my small gripes.

From NA here, and had never actually seen the European one. I kind of like it better than the Japanese one so I voted for it. Though the original one was quite hilarious (I had the game back then, though we threw away the boxes after getting the games).

I think the pandemic really helped sell this game even more, like this is normally not a game I'd pick up, but I was bored and wanted something a little more casual to play on the side from my other stuff and ended up picking it up on a whim. It's been fun so far though and is my first Animal Crossing game i've ever owned.

This makes you think they have not been working on localization, you'd think they'd see how hungry the switch base can be. While i'd love to see Persona 5 i'm interested in this too.

My biggest issue was the lack of Nintendo in their own presentation. Also it was very old game port heavy, if you're going to give me ports at least give me something like Metroid prime trilogy to play!

Too bad this was the only drop today i saw. Sure hope that direct is happening next week because this didn't bring much of anything new!

Hopefully this isn't like last time and we actually get a real direct afterwards. I just want to know what to plan for this year games wise, because right now my slate of games i'm picking up is super slim for any system.

I sure hope whenever we get the next direct there are things coming out sooner than later because there is a big lack of stuff i'm interested in on switch at the moment besides Xenoblade chronicles hd

Grumble Grumble need direct now. Also really wish the normal direct was first, I just don't care about as many of the nindie's lately probably because the e-shop is just filled with so much garbage and needs a rehaul.

@Ralizah I wouldn't be shocked if GT VI has a chance to whenever it comes out. The series is just insanely popular.

Part of me hopes this doesn't sell well so they realize they overpriced the game, but I also understand that this probably needs to sell well for them to consider a new Pokemon Mystery dungeon. While it's not my cup of tea I know it does have it's fans. Admittedly i've never gave it a fair shake yet, but I sure wouldn't for 60 bucks. This should have been a 40 dollar game probably.

Yeah i might be interested in Mystery Dungeon if it's on sale, but it's a bit steep at 60 bucks.

Well 3 years, and hardly a peep from Nintendo lately, doesn't even feel like they are wanting to celebrate 3 years on the market their twitter was not even that active today.

Don't we literally see this about once a year that all the tech companies are using some company that leads back to slave labor. It's not new, doesn't mean nothing should be done. However I think it's tough because the tech companies use other companies that are then using the slave labor.

Kickstarter was an interesting idea, but then people take advantage of it to not do what it was used for. I'm feeling pretty burnt on a couple things I've kickstarted that are either straight up dropped without product coming out (Riven) or stuck in development hell it feels like(Camelot unchained). I have seen some success (Timespinners was great, and Bloodstained is a pretty decent game with a shoddy starting port to switch). Overall it's bloated and abused now so I probably won't be using it unless something really catches my eye. Things like this especially though I don't want to support when they straight up lie.

I think I will eventually grab this on physical I've got the first 2 collections and 11 would be nice to have the switch be able to house every megaman game ever, but we've got quite a few missing still. Hopefully we next see a Battle Network collection & Mega Man legends collection would be great.

I disagree that we know about 2 things, really we know about 1 thing and the announcement of a project with no real information about it lol. based on these announcements who knows what else is up their sleeves. I have a feeling at least one of the other 2 will be a sequel to a current property though.

I think it hurt the switch sales for P5S because they really should have put out P5 first on switch, i'd guess there are going to be people who just own a switch and if you've not played P5 I'm sure that would detract from picking it up.

Once this is complete then i'll make a decision about checking this out.

Sounds like some mentioned above this might be something a kin to Ultraman from the comparison. It does seem really pointless to just announce a project name with no firm information about it. Hopefully there is more info today or this was a wasted announcement.

If only Nintendo had some sort of way to give news about upcoming games which there is a lack of information for! Seriously direct now please!

@mazzel Pretty sure the implication with a little sarcasm by Obito is that this will cure the cornavirus

There's only one game on this list that I've played though completely more than 10 times and that's Super Metroid. Especially now with the Rnadomizer's has brought even more life into the old game. While I like prime, I just don't think know if any Metroid game will ever displace my love for Super Metroid. However with Breath of the Wild I can be shocked by something coming out of nowhere and really loving it to (though LttP is still my favorite zelda as well).

This is one I think could be interesting once it goes down in price.

This is why I always pay attention to both critic and peoples reviews, if one side is heavily leaning i check the other side usually, and make my own opinion based on the reviews or check reviews from people I trust with other games they've reviewed.

@steveputer One thing you can get from physical media especially is if a game comes back out, and they they remake it there are definitely games out there that are not as good of quality or worse versions of the game (like when they put out Secret of Mana on PS4 that was an inferior version for most people). Sometimes it has to do with the emulation, sometimes it has to do with it just not fitting on the device it's being put on like trying to play an old school game on your mobile with touch controls.

Probably going to check this out or Birds of Prey sometime this weekend.

Even though my backlog is super nasty I still want a direct to get an idea when I need to start pushing my backlog more lol.
Stuff in backlog:
Disgaea 5
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Y's VIII
Tales of Vesperia (This is one i'm currently working on)
Luigi's Mansion 3
Dragon ball Fighter z
Need to finish Link's awakening

That's just my switch stuff I can think of, I have a few PS4 things as well. At least when I picked up Darksiders 1 I fully finished it, and would like to grab Darksiders 2 at some point.

@Agramonte I picked it up to support the series and i'm interested in checking it out (though I still don't like the idea of censorship in general with the game), but it's on the backlog. It's too bad Kakarot didn't release on switch as well or else it probably would have sold really well on the switch, I think there's a chance that will come over later. Only bad thing is they'll probably port it and release at 60 like always.

Going to wait and get Rebel I think at some point, but I have time with my backlog to wait for it to go down much more. I've still never played black flag, and I think I will enjoy it.

@Agramonte Looks like Tokyo Mirage sessions didn't even make top 10 being basically the only real release for switch in january. Kind of sad, especially with the lack of new games in January.

If i use it probably will only be the free version, I think I have a few pokemon in the bank I might try to transfer over.

Big OOOF, yeah not helping me want to renew when it comes up.

I'd still love to see Terranigma come in a trilogy pack with all 3 of the soul blazer trilogy to the west (NA that is)

@Belatarr Speed running is enjoyable for some, and also there has been great stuff to come out of speed running such as charity work that people are doing through things like games done quick. While you might not like it I'm sure there are plenty of people that get enjoyment and don't consider it a waste of time. Many people replay games just purely because they enjoy that game or the mechanics of the game that make it interesting.

If they were more forthcoming with information on the game there would be less need for leaks. The fact that without the leaks you were not going to be able to see the final evolutions for your starters even was pretty ridiculous since most of us want to know what it will look like when making a decision on your starter.
