No, I actually want to play the game if it's chosen, so I need to know how much it's going to cost me, and how much space I need. I'm guessing that's 20 euros. I've given up on a physical release I think. That said.. I also need to set aside money for Xenoblades, so we'll see.

Axiom verge! How much is Ori? And how big?

Might as well have it on 2 islands if there are enough people.

Getting a nice tropical island vibe from that one.

Gate's open.

I'm starting the game in a minute, I'll open the gates right away.

I really doubt that technicality is going to a factor. I think popularity and diversity will be. She'd still be a great representative of the game. Pretty sure we're getting a female character, though if I'm being honest I think Min Min is more likely. Mechanica would also be fun, with her mecha, Dr. Coyle would be cool (though unlikely, as we'd have a villain before a hero), and Helix would be hilarious. Again, hoping for Twintelle, but my bet is actually on Min Min.

Like I said in the Direct thread, the fact they didn't outright announce a specific character makes me think the "default" characters are out of the question, so no Spring Man and Ribbon Girl. I'm hoping for my mistress Twintelle myself, but I wouldn't mind Min Min either. I'm really happy with an Arms character as the first fighter in the 2nd pass, and to be honest, I wouldn't mind any of them. Just wondering what the moveset will be.

I kind of would have liked in they didn't include the vinyl so the box could be siliar to the XC2 CE size-wise.. But I'm not too bothered with it. I like vinyl anyway.

Xenoblade Chronicles - Def. Edition (29-05-2020) - Must-buy - Game looks glorious, and the CE looks glorious. Can't wait to have it next to my XC2 CE. Haven't played this one, so I'm looking forward to seeing "the other side of the story". Bioshock - The Collection (29-05-2020) - Unlikely - I still don't have 2 or Infinite, but I'll still get those (especially Infinite, less interested in 2) on PC. Borderlands - Legendary Collection (29-05-2020) - Unlikely - These are fun multiplayer titles, and again I only have the first one, and again I'm more likely to buy on PC in a Steam sale.. Then again as multiplayer titles, the time for these has passed. Maybe if enough people here buy them it could be fun. XCOM 2 - Collection (29-05-2020) - Must-buy - I've wanted this since the launch of the Switch. I rarely play portable, but this is the perfect game for when I do. I love this on PC. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 - Shadow of Doom DLC (Now) - Unlikely - Looks like cool new characters for those who have the game, which doesn't include me. There's still chance I'll get into this eventually, but chances aren't very high. Shinsekai: Into the Depths (Now) - Likely (but not now) - Looks like a cool setting for (what I assume is) a Metroidvania. Always in for that. Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Bunny Day update (April) - Already playing - I'll see it when it arrives. I'll stock up on crafting materials in the meantime, looks like you'll need 'm. Good Job (Now) - Maybe - Looks like it could be hilarious, but I don't need another game right now. Catherine - Full Body (07-07-2020) - Must-buy - One of those things I missed out on not having a Playstation. Definitely getting this. Ring Fit - update (Now) - Likely - Update looks cool. I'll get the work-our game eventually (to be honest, I could use it now, but don't have the money for it). King's Bounty 2 (2020) - Maybe - Looks like it's up my alley, but could be something I buy on PC instead. Not sure what priority it would have, probably low. Smash Bros. Ultimate - Twintelle DLC (June) - Already bought - Yes! I'd love an Arms character! The fact they didn't announce it outright I think could indicate they're not going for the poster boy and girl, so Spring Man and Ribbon Girl are out I think. So here's hoping for Twintelle! I'd love to get slapped and sat on by Twintelle! Did I say that out loud? Arms - Free Game Trial (Now) - Already bought - Cool to see they're still giving this game some support. Bravely default 2 (2020) - Must-buy - Looking glorious. Can't wait. 51 Worldwide Games (05-06-2020) - Maybe - I'm not interested in most of these games, but I could maybe get it in a sale for the few online cardgames I like. Ninjala (27-05-2020) - Maybe - It looks more fun than the last time I saw it. Could maybe fill in for Splatoon multiplayer. It's free, so I'll probably give it a go. If I have space.. Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Academy (Now) - Unlikely - Cool retro fun, but I'm getting this one on PC if ever. Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (Soon) - Unlikely - Also cool retro fun, but probably don't want this on Switch. Cool LAN support though. Panzer Dragoon: Remake (Now) - Likely (but now now) - Never played the original, so nostalgia isn't a factor, but it looks somewhat cool, and I'd enjoy a retro rail-shooter. It's just that right now I have plenty other timesinks. Trials of Mana (24-04-2020) - Likely - I was looking forward to this, but this is getting major competition. Fuser (autumn 2020) - No - I'm not sure what kind of rhythm game this is, but the track selection doesn't appeal from what I saw. The Elder Scrolls: Blades (Spring 2020) - No - This is still a thing? I forgot about it. Warhammer 40000: Mechanicus (May 2020) - Unlikely - Could maybe be interesting as I like strategy games, but I need to see much more gameplay, and I'm not really into the Warhammer universe. Vigor - Closed Beta (09-04-2020) - Unlikely - Not sure what it is, but doesn't look interesting. Burnout Paradise Remastered (2020) - No - Not into racing games in general. Saints Row IV - Re-Elected (27-03-2020) - No - Like the previous one, doesn't look interesting. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (30-06-2020) - Unlikely - I need to look into this more, but I'm not familiar with the previous games, and it looks I have my JRPGs all lined up.. Mr. DRILLER DrillLand (25-06-2020) - No - Looks like not my type of puzzle game. Hate the Flash graphics. Mincecraft Dungeons (Spring 2020) - No - Minecraft = pass. Yeah that's a spelling error, but it looks funny, so I'm leaving it as is. Pokémon Sword &Shield - The Isle of Armour (End of June) - Likely - Looks good, and I'll get it eventually.

Yeah you're not getting the game I'm afraid! Haha. I actually wondered why you got this.

Haven't posted my reactions yet, so let me do that right now before I get into the Direct. Blue Fire (Summer 2020) - Maybe - Looks cool, though a bit budget (as in: empty). I like the artstyle somewhat. Baldo (Summer 2020) - Maybe - Looks good despite anime-faux artstyle, and looks fun. I AM DEAD (2020) - Unlikely - Love the title, but hate the artstyle. Need to know more what the puzzles are like, but so far not interested. B.ARK (Late 2020) - Unlikely - Looks fun in multiplayer, and makes me want an online co-op Parodius. But this will probably never get played. C&H Freakpocalypse (Summer 2020) - No - That artstyle and humor is fine for a 3 panel webcomic, but I couldn't stand enduring that for a whole game. Summer in Mara (Spring 2020) - Maybe - Looks good despite the (yet again) anime faux artstyle, and looks relaxing. Problem is I'm busy with Animal Crossing.. Quantum League (Late 2020) - Unlikely - They didn't do a good job of explaining the mechanics. I have no idea how this works, and the rest doesn't look interesting. The Good Life (2020) - Kickstarted - I kickstarted this, so I'm getting a Steam copy at the very least. I love the setting, artstyle, and detective and photography gameplay. Looking forward to this. The Last Campfire (Summer 2020) - Likely - Bit similar to Blue Fire, in that it looks a bit simple.. I like the artstyle and character designs despite it being very reminiscent of other artstyles. I'm just liking what I see, and I love the song in the trailer. PixelJunk Eden 2 (Summer 2020) - No - I love immersive techno beats and sleak stylistic visuals. But I'm not interested in what I see here. Faeria (Spring 2020) - Unlikely - Could be interesting, I'd need to see more, but Slay the Spire is fulfilling my deckbuilding needs. Eldest Souls (Summer 2020) - No - Looks somewhat cool and fun, but being just a bosh rush is being just half a game. Blair Witch (Summer 2020) - Unlikely - I still haven 't seen the film haha. Could be interesting, but it's very low priority. Ghost of a Tale (Spring 2020) - Maybe - Looks cute, and also familiar. Maybe it's on my Steam wishlist or something. I'll keep an eye on this. Sky (Summer 2020) - Maybe - Another simplistic looking game (in multiple aspects), but may do just enough to interest me. Sky Racket (Now) - No - Can't stand the artstyle. Pixel graphics done wrong. Superliminal (Summer 2020) - Likely - Saw this somewhere else, an XBox presentation I believe, and I think the puzzles looks cool. Wingspan (Spring 2020) - Unlikely - Same as Faeria, I'm not interested in a new deckbuilding game.. Though I kind of like the educational aspect of it. Dicey Dungeons (2020) - No - That few second video didn't explain what's going on. Bounty Battle (Summer 2020) - No - No interest in a fighter with shit artstyle. Moving Out (28-04-2020) - Unlikely - Looks like it could be a fun couch multiplayer game, but as I rarely get to play those.. Exit the Gungeon (Now) - No - Never played the original, and this too just looks too chaotic. I like certain aspects, but I'm just going to be crap at the game, so I'll pass.

You guys know you are supposed to play this for a year right? Why the rush?

Yeah man, you just missed it. If you missed the party yesterday, they're buying at over 200 now, forgot the exact price. I'll be online later this evening again.

Does anyone want to quickly open their gates so I can unload my stuff in their store? Mine is closed.

People who still want to get in on this, my gates are open again, though I'm using another code for people not on NE. JS68W My shop stays open for a less than 40 minutes.

So, I'm visiting Harv's island.. Apparently he has a photo studio, and it's cool. You can build "sets", and use everything you've ever owned, without needing to actually rearrange your own home. Great for pictures.

No, they seriously need a dedicated UX designer for their games. I'm off island hopping, I met a guy called Harv today, and I see if I can get some extra supplies. maybe I'll visit some of you people if you are online. I'll re-open the gates when I'm done.

Yeah sure, I think I'll stay online as long as Nook's open. Heads-up though: At the moment, I changed the online to a Dodo code, to give people from another community a chance to cash in. Code is: 1D7XP I'm AFK again, going to eat.

You haven't been here in a while, so you are one of the few who don't have my friendcode yet. It's (amongst other places) in the OP of this thread, so add me, I'll accept, and you can come visit!

Town is open, I'm AFK. For what it's worth, I think Glen-i's shop will buy them for over 600 later.

We can trade tomorrow (or now if you're fast, I'm still online, but just for a bit).

I'm now kind of hoping we don't get one. A meltdown would be more entertaining.
