Where do they find all these people who are so bad at playing video games? I don't need every preview to be a pro strat speedrunner but I think by 25 minutes they should grasp that balls roll.

You don't have to be good at playing games to be in game journalism, just good enough at talking about games and adding fluff to commentary to fill up more than 2 sentences about each game.

Still not sure about Golf Story. Going to wait for more impressions. Definitely getting Picross, though. Do games go live at 9pm pst?

Golf Story will get a meta critic score that surpasses Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the Switch will forever be cemented as the finest console the world has ever seen.

Golf Story is only 15 bucks, so I don't mind taking the plunge for people that are weary. For some reason indie games on the Switch seem more interesting to me than on other platforms.

On another note, has anyone played Kingdom: New Lands? It looks really nice, and I considered buying that too.

I enjoyed the first game on PC, so I took the plunge and bought New Lands on Switch. It's a pretty straightforward game, you collect gold to upgrade your little fort + transform vagrants in the woods into your loyal servants, and work to rebuild a boat to travel to a New Land. The game itself is a lot of fun, and I've probably played more than 25 hours both handheld and docked. There is a huge glaring issue though, the port is terrible when it comes to fps in later Lands that you travel to. Severe slowdown at night when monsters are attacking, or during the day when the weather kicks in. It gives me a bit of vertigo, I guess, but I don't mind it enough to stop playing.

I'm hanging out for the next one, Kingdom: Two Crowns, which adds co-op. I think it'll be more fun figuring out what stuff does with two of us. Only problem is that it won't be out until next year.

Yokai Watch is as good as dead in Japan, and treading water in the US AFAIK. Probably won't see a Yokai Watch game on Switch.

I wouldn't call it as "good as dead". The anime is still running. More games are coming out.

Hmm, what have we here?
Enjoyment of a game is relative as poo poo, but 9 year old me poo poo bricks for Earthbound and Chrono Trigger, and luckily I can slowly feed off of that making GBS threads via nostalgia.

I'll never like a newer rpg more.

And I should refresh before posting.
