Okay... how, exactly? It's retail price. I mean it looks worth retail price but don't post stuff like that if, you know, there's no actual "sale" of any kind going on.

I was kidding, that dude sounded like a used car salesmen for developer for the game selling it

I don't even have a daughter yet and I've decided my daughter (or son) will have a 2DS as their first gaming system when they are like 3 or 4. It helps that I picked one up at TRU on sale for my collection the other day and it will still be essentially brand new in, I dunno, five, six years when I presumably have a three year old? Depending upon how persuasive my boyfriend is.

You sure post about yourself a lot in the switch thread.

Nintendo updated the eShop to include a Featured tab. There's also a "Downloadable Only" filter.

Sun and Moon were good but USUM were kinda too much of the same, they came out like a year after Sun and Moon and didn't change very much.

I kinda like that it lets some personality come through her posts.

Mario Tennis demo is over, so maybe I'll rewatch Baby Steps for my tennis fix until later this month.

There's been a few posts, but I don't see enough people talk about how good Wizard of Legend is. I bought it because it was in the top 2 best sellers earlier, and the only other game that I've played since has been Tennis.

i dropped my switch in the worst possible way, screen down on a table corner, and the techmatte glass screen protector someone linked here absolutely saved it. broke the glass itself, but the screen underneath doesn't have a mark on it. one of the best recommendations i've gotten, thanks switch thread

If you don't have SuMo, then I'd say just jump in and grab USUM. It's a great game that ditches a lot of the bad Pokemon tropes and feels more like a modern RPG. Highly recommend it.

I’m currently 16 hours into Sun and once I got out of the tutorial section I’ve been digging the poo poo out of it. I put it aside to play West of Loathing and Yoku’s Island Express but I plan on jumping right back in.

They really frontload it with a murderer’s row of fan favorite Pokémon and I’ve never been more conflicted with my team choices before. The new Pokémon I’ve seen have also been pretty compelling, most notably Morelull (a mushroom focusing on stat changes/health draining and recovery) and Mudbrey (a doofy little ground-type donkey).

That Yoku game looks fun as heck! How open is the open world? Is it like exploring any where you want it exploring until you reach an item check ala Metroid?

It guides you, but half of it is figuring out where you need to go. There are a couple items you need to access specific sections of the game, but I did some wandering and found some stuff slightly out of order.

As for how open it is—well, you can (eventually) get everywhere in the map, but there are some roadblocks. It’s actually really pretty close to a Metroid title, and I’ve done a LOT of backtracking trying to find collectibles.

My only (slight) nitpick is that while there is an unlock mid-game for an excellent fast travel method for the surface level, backtracking to get to anything underground is a bit of a chore. Considering that most Metroidvanias don’t have any fast travel, I’m ultimately okay with it. Also the map doesn’t zoom in as much as I would like, but, again, the map is WAY more detailed than your average Metroidvania anyway, I’m really nitpicking here. Ultimately it’s a 10/10 for me, a beautiful game with unique gameplay, excellent writing and strong world building.

That poster's first two posts in this thread involve them sharing the fact that they have wrinkles and that they like to have background videos on while cooking and cleaning so I don't quite know where they get off going after The Lobster. We also have lots of posters in here talk about how they share games with their families/friends/children and I think it's neat to hear about sometimes, especially in the case of Labo which is definitely not for me but nice to hear others are having fun with.
