Anyone want to speculate what the Special Bonus to online may be? Obvious answer is free (bad) games or discounts. I'm just hoping for more Nintendo Power or MyNintendo style tchotchkes, pointless but kind of cool things.
The first special bonuses are...
  • The ability, nay, the privilege, to buy those NES controllers.
  • Two exclusive items for Splatoon 2 if you bought the 12 month or family plan.

Your money isn't going towards hosting your splatoon and smash games, because you're the one hosting those matches and paying for that bandwidth in the first place.

I'm fairly confident that Luigi's Mansion 3 will look and play like every single Luigi's Mansion game and Animal Crossing Switch will look at play like every single Animal Crossing game.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but they're not exactly exciting original concepts. BOTW and Odyssey are Zelda and Mario games, but they're also wildly new.

Yeah, but what if Tom decided to loan everyone houses and now they have to race go karts and collect parts to upgrade them instead of normal animal crossing stuff? What if it's now an action-adventure game and the new town is often besieged by monsters and you were brought there and forced into servitude to repay your ever-growing lodging payments by defending the town!?

Game Pass rules and I honestly wish all game companies would look at what Microsoft is doing, but it's also $10 per month. 6 times the cost of whatever the gently caress Nintendo is doing here.

The only existing PC port is ancient and a bit of a mess, tbe game itself is a mess and not a very popular one so why put in the effort.

Or theyre doing a full HD remaster and I will buy 10 copies

I feel like HHD and the mobile game are signs that the series is heading that way. HHD let you decorate an animals house to your liking provided you used the furniture they requested and the campsite in the mobile game kind of functions like your village in the main titles except you can choose who stays there and even kick them out provided that you unlocked that animal by fulfilling their request.

I expect the Switch game to have both of these functions.

I was super excited about this when it was announced when the Switch was new but now I'm drowning in so many other, likely better, party games that I think it missed the boat.

It's more an issue of content/popularity than anything technical. FF8 was the first game I deliberately actively stopped playing because I was bored of it. That was a very adult decision for middle-school me.

Who's playing monhun? What weapons are you enjoying and why are your enjoying them?

I'll start. I just opened up village 5 star quests and I'm really enjoyinf sword and shield because I have one that paralyzes monsters. Combine that with stamina drain oil and aerial style and you can really dish out the damage and keep monsters from.running around too much.

I'm trying to get into HH but I'm crippled by indecision, which horn should I use?!

I love GS because of the deliberate style and I usually play Valor style, but when looking to relax and have just some silly vaulting fun I run Aerial. I just opened 8* HR quests and have been working through them, but I'm looking forward to trying out SNS and HH but I just have such a good GS.
