Finally started making some progress on Fairune 2 again. Turns out I was just missing one of those sneaky hidden paths.

Awesome news! Someone needs to delete my thread, BTW.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/44058 Not Kiwami style remakes unfortunately, but they will see improved resolution and frame rate. So yeah, the entire Yakuza series on PS4! Time to get playing @S.C.G.

And that's coming from you, a MH veteran. Can you imagine how someone who started playing the series with World would adjust to playing this version? Not that there's probably going to be many people in that particular situation, but still, would be pretty interesting to see how those that are reacted to "old-school" MH. Man, those gather the stuff/deliver egg quests... so dull. They're literally the only quests that aren't complete in my game, just couldn't bring myself to play through 'em. They don't return in the Switch version, do they?

Yeah, it's definitely pretty clear already that the second title is quite a bit bigger than the first one. Apparently Fairune Origin is tiny though (way shorter than even the first game) according to reviews and the best times on the in-game leaderboard.

Think this is a terrible idea (as I mentioned in the other thread) but will try and check out that 15 min trial on my JP account, as I'm really curious about how it's going to look/perform via streaming.

Picked up Fairune Collection the last week. Managed to get through the first game without too much trouble (although I did have to check up on a couple of bits that were super obscure ) but Fairune 2 is proving to be quite tricky in comparison. I'm currently about an hour and a half in, but now completely and utterly stumped as to where to go/what to do! These games are definitely a blast from the past in their design, it's just a shame that I've clearly lost my ability to solve these types of cryptic puzzles. Hopefully I managed to progress again soon. Really want to unlock the shmup game that's included in the collection, but you need to complete the first 3 games to unlock it. *EDIT* Whoops! This was obviously supposed to go in the Switch eShop thread. No wonder I'm stuck on Fairune, can't even figure out the forum.

So I see you're playing Pokémon at the moment, am I right in assuming the wacky story and characters didn't help then, or is PxZ just on hold? I actually had the crazy idea of trying to get hold of PxZ 2 the other day! Quickly came to my senses though.

Yeah... not a fan of this idea at all. I mean it sounded bad straight away, but finding out that it also involves a time limit made it even worse! I've not played Resi 7 yet, but even if it was getting properly ported to Switch, I'd be far more likely to just get the PS4 version. Will be a shame if this cloud malarkey ends up being the only option for those that don't own other systems though.

Some of my clips from last night (including the super spectacularly silly Spiny Shell of stupidity! ):

So I somehow chucked a Spiny Shell through the actual road on Dragon Driftway! This seemed to severely mess with its ability to function correctly, as it teleported behind me, then proceeded to completely ignore 1st place (probably @Glen-i ) and just fly around the track aimlessly. Just when you think you’ve seen it all... Mario Kart can always surprise. But hey, that’s why we love it so much, right?

Of course the main thing they should’ve added is online play. I might’ve actually been tempted to pick this up again in that case.

Wowzers! Unexpected indeed. Reckon this’ll be a great fit on Switch though, as is pretty much everything. Bring on the rest of the Wii ports!

Hehehe! Most of the time, yeah. I really do love the outfits in this game.

Ah, I was thinking of digital prices. But yeah, seeing as it's a budget retail release that's a good sign. Probably looking at £39.99 on Switch eShop then. Still not really sure if this is for me though, would be good if there was a demo.

Still no pricing details for this in Europe then? Going to be interesting if it's £49.99 on Switch but £34.99 on 3DS.

New hint art: Wonder if there will be any additional reward for finding all of these... probably not. I've been doing it anyway and grabbing a pic each time:

Had an epic moment on this yesterday which I unfortunately missed the vid capture of, and ended up with a screenshot instead: Wish it was possible to customise the capture button so that a single press does video, rather than a long press. The pic still captures the moment pretty well though I guess. The combination of taking out the entire enemy team while our team simultaneously took the lead was awesome. While I continue to really enjoy the online multiplayer in this, I'm not so keen on the single player aspect. I finished all the stages and final boss ages ago, but never collected all of the scrolls and stuff. Tried to get back into it recently to do that, but just can't seem to stick with it, I always end up playing online. So yeah, not sure now if the Octo Expansion would be a good buy for me really as it's so heavily focused on single player content.

I stuck that game on my watch list back when it came out but have recently noticed that it can no longer be purchased, you also get a 404 error when trying to access the game on Nintendo's webpage. Doesn't seem to be any info out there as to why it has been removed from the eShop though, anyone here know?

IN!

Decided to check out the 3DS version again (man, am I rusty! ) also re-downloaded the Japanese demo of this to my Switch. Playing as the incredibly weak prowler on that and then going back to my level 50 beast of a cat on 3DS is quite amusing. Have to say though, it’s got me even more tempted to get this and transfer my save file over. I assume there’s much stronger palico gear available in the Switch game, meaning I could potentially make my cat even more OP than it is currently, and that’s something I’d definitely love to see.

*raises hand* Although this is going to have to mix things up quite a bit in order to get me interested in Pokémon again. I skipped on the most recent games after barely being able to make it through the demo...

Going to be very interesting to see how long that enjoyment lasts for. All I can say is I hope it does and good luck... *Smash TV voice* “You’ll need it!”

Haven't you got like every special edition 3DS in existence though? In which case you could just open up one of those and swap the battery. I think the main thing that messed up the battery on my XL was running it off the mains for very long periods of time, although it's probably had way more than 500 charges too, which is apparently the amount where performance starts to drop.
