Except 2 is also good and fun so
Opinions, right?
Well this is handy knowledge for when I play it.
I only played through the first 1/3-1/2 of XC1 and loved XC2, never felt like I was missing out on anything. There's some VERY brief moments where I am guessing it links back to XC1, but in more of a wink-wink sort of way and without any real bearing on the plot, characters, or motivations at hand, and presented in a way where its appropriate and you'd never guess there was a XC1 if you didn't know it already existed.
If anything I feel like playing them in reverse-order could be interesting in it's own right.

There'as also a super powerful secret laser weapon that gets powerups with each of those keys. With 3 keys it's basically unstoppable.

Can't wait for 2 games to support it not including mario kart wheel.
I am really hoping this 20 game drop isnt it, I am holding out hope for MarioRPG
The only thing I can think of as I play it: @UncleSporky betrayed us!

That’s funny, when trying to describe it to my husband I said, “You know what? It’s Monster Hunter: Kirby”
We tried a bit, but when he saw the “spend gems to add time [to the fight]” he pretty much noped right out.

I'm actually excited. I've been looking into ways to get back in shape and would gladly spend 30-45 minutes a day playing a Switch game to do that. Switch Boxing was looking like a good alternative, but not for $50. Maybe Switch Fit will do that and more.

The presentation (the menus etc) is all top notch and leaves a great first impression.
*That and I preferred using the WiiU pro controller, and TMS#FE needed you to have the Gamepad powered on/connected at the same time, even when you weren't using it. #FirstWorld-'Problems'...
If it helps, it is not a microtransaction gatcha slot machine game. Nintendo's "free to start" games are really interesting things. There are microtransactions in the form of gems (gem apples in this case), and there is a stupid stamina "pony up or stop playing" system. But there's also a limit on how much you can spend before the game refuses to take any more of your money, which tends to coincidently be the price of a full game. And at which point all the bullshit gets removed from the game (in this case you'll be getting so many free apples from the tree each day there's no reason to ever buy more).
I don't really have a problem with this kind of MTX system. They really do want you to spend something, and will make the game as grindy as all fuck if you don't. But they're not actually preying on you. The fact that they'll flat out tell you "We don't want your money anymore" is what really makes me kind of respect this system.
I mean its not a horrible endless slot machine, but its not exactly prosumer either.
Playing SNES games on the Switch is the cat’s goddamn pyjamas.
Edit: and now I just made myself sad because I realized that there’s no way any of the SNES Square games will be released for this thing.
Double plus edit: I remembered that Final Fantasy III is on the SNES Classic! There’s still hope! I’m happy again!
The pad usage was really good! The smartphone chat where you talked to all your friends, and the map and all your stats...
It seems like the most consumer friendly way you can do a F2P game - putting a concrete price tag on a permanent boost and then and you don't need to spend money anymore. Usually the conventional wisdom is that you never do that because whales are needed to make up for the freeloaders. But I think if you make the purchases compelling you'll get a lot more people buying in at modest price points.
Here though, I'm actually willing to spend 67 gold coins to buy the cheapest bundle that will also double the output of the tree. And I'm actually considering spending another 150 coins to boost it again.
This would be comparable if Odyssey was free to begin with.
Also if the XP boost was in any way necessary.
To be fair, Final Fight was arcade gold. I put that in my top 10 or 20 arcade games of all time. SDD was fun, but it was (going by old man memory) an early SNES release.

Oh, I didn’t know. I’m at work so I can’t watch the video right now. I can get away with a lot of things but I don’t think watching videos is one of the them.
I honestly think that, in time, I may look back on the Switch even more fondly than I do the SNES. I know Celeste isn't Switch-exclusive or anything, but there is just such an avalanche of great content all converging on this one console (including the SNES games, now!) that it's easily become my favorite console I've ever owned.
agreed. Celeste is probably my favorite game of the last decade.

Archived Starlink for now, but may need a microSD card soon.
Enjoyed some Pilotwings and Zelda tonight. SNES games were good stuff.
Hasn’t aged well? Yeah because it was never good.
Eh, I liked it as a kid, but I had a lot more tolerance for mediocre or worse games back then (likely because that was largely before I could buy my own, and was stuck with what I got).
No it isn't. It is the happy console gamer and I tend to trust his thinking on games. He's just a really fun to watch passionate guy and you can tell when he really loves something even when he nitpicks it some.

Watching someone who routinely gets 30-40 KOs a round get pushed to the absolute limit by Invictus mode is a real holy shit moment.
People who play a lot of Tetris do NOT fuck around.

Loved that game when I was younger.
Then again, it's been so long since I played it, and my memory is undoubtedly rosier than it actually was, so maybe it'd just be disappointment.
But I miss it all the same.

Yeah I’ve enjoyed his take on things. Wish I was more like that and less like a cynical unhappy bastard. Maybe that should be my YouTube channel.

...and where is the information telling you what that upper limit is? Because I think you can buy up to $60 in gems in a single pack.

The funny irony of course being the actor behind the persona known for being the most cynical unhappy bastard in gaming is in reality the least cynical unhappy bastard in gaming.
