Turnips price is 423 bells in my island, I can open my gates if anyone here is interested. Sahara is here also

I caught this little moment today while watering @Eddage’s flowers

I'll pop over if the gates are still open

The Mayonnaise vs Ketchup Splatfest is now live, for anyone that forgot

I would like to come over, I bought the most turnips I’ve ever bought so far on Sunday lol

Next batch of games just got revealed:

I'm quite impressed with Disney Plus. After the 7 day trial I renewed for a month and been watching random things, like the Marvel films in the order they came out and any random film I enjoyed as a kid. I've really enjoyed 'Prop Culture' where a guy goes around finding the props used in classic films. I especially enjoyed the Who Framed Roger Rabbit episode of that show, it was pretty great seeing Christopher Lloyd wearing Judge Dooms Jacket and start to lapse into the character again. I like that Jeff Goldblum show too. It's a pretty decent streaming service. If I could change anything about it, I would make it so that episodes of shows you have watched are marked as played. Because while watching a series on there, there's no way to see what episode you've watched already when you go back to it a few days later. I watched like 5 minutes of an old xmen cartoon on there the other night before I realised I'd already watched it last week.

Yeah the series is a little odd now that its changed. The first two were indeed RPG's and I genuinely feel Paper Mario 2 is one of the greatest games Nintendo has ever made, but then they changed things and I personally didn't enjoy them as much, like the Wii game you mentioned. If this is like the original games it could be amazing.

I've got Celeste and Saharah wondering around my town, if anyone wants to chat with them let me know I'll open the gates

I forgot to sign into that ABP machine yesterday for the first time since I got the game. 50+ day streak down the drain =/

Animal Crossing: New Horizon has sold 13.41 million copies https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2020/200507_3e.pdf https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/index.html

I love most of these ideas. I hope Nintendo add atleast some of these in future updates. I can't get over just how well made this video is though, its so well done. I also laughed at this part:

I just had a fake artwork statue show up in a present from a balloon. I wasn’t aware you could get artwork that way, hopefully real ones can be acquired from balloons too.

Yeah if I remember correctly it was listed as ‘Deal of the Day’.

Not my image but I saw this on Reddit, where someone used a forced perspective to create this: I never thought of using the smaller items this way, its a great idea.

I made the same mistake with that May Day island. I ate a some fruit so I can pick up one of the tree trees that are in a row, rather then just chopping it down with an axe.

There's always he Wii U chat app...

@Hero-of-Time @Ronnie I enjoyed the press events in the past and it felt exciting to watch them, even if it was 240p IGN stream of E3 back in 2005, just seeing games announced for the first time in front of you was enough to make it enjoyable, but I also found them awkward too. There was a lot of time wasted on them with slide shows, introductions, technical errors etc. A lot of the time in them were spent on one person introducing another person on stage, who then just introduces a game trailer on a screen. I feel like their time has long passed and the only thing I really need is a to see a game play trailer with a voice over explaining to me what the game is about, which i find Nintendo do perfectly with their Directs. You're both right though, with whats going on right now I doubt Nintendo can really prepare a normal direct anyway. Aside from everyone being in their homes games development has all taken a hit to some degree. But it would be hilarious to see mayamoto hosting a direct from his home via zoom

I picked this up the other day, even though I have the 2009 release on 360 and PC. But as it was on sale on the eshop for £11 i figured I'd check out this remaster and felt like playing through it again. It was fun going through the game but I wish a little more had been done with it, it feels like a straight port to me. All of the janky issues the original release had are stil there which is surprising to see for a remaster. At the very least I think they could have tweaked the A.I of the other ghostbusters. I found that they constantly walk through your proton charge while you're trying to wear down a ghost, which means that not only do they take damage from it (while complaining about it in the process) they also block the stream from hitting whatever ghost you were going after. Weirdly I found this more of an issue in the open levels of the game where they seem to be programed to wonder around a lot more. The smaller sections, such as the hotel they seem to generally stay in one place so you can pick a spot and work on a ghost without any interruptions. They also take forever to revive each other, which for the most part isn't an issue as they rarely get knocked down on normal or easy settings, but its a major issue on a couple of boss fights and stages on the hardest difficulty. In the final boss battle they don't move out of the way of oncoming attacks fast enough so his fire attack almost always takes out at least two members of the team. So you have to rush and save them, because the the other two guys probably won't even attempt to do so for a good 20 seconds or so and will most probably get incapped in the process. I finished the game just now and this new version unlocks a GB2 flightsuit, which was a pre-order bonus for the game back in its original 2009 release. There was a glitch with it where the GB1 logo on the should overlaps the GB2 logo and it seems that is still there in this remaster . Lastly you unlock a gold proton pack if you complete it on the hardest setting but I can't see myself doing that, its way too tedious to keep reviving teammates who don't watch your back or help each other until its too late.

It's funny how things change. I remember people not being happy that Nintendo were going towards Directs over live presentations at E3 over 5 years ago. Now they're something everyone looks forward too throughout the year I'll be disappointed if that rumor of them moving away from Directs turns out to be true, in fact I can't understand that decision at all. There isn't really a better way of putting that information out. It did seem odd to me that they didn't have a Direct in so long though, before the coronavirus pandemic there was a huge gap between the last major direct and March seemed odd.

DLC Pack 2 is out now

Yeah the reviews for this have been really good. I have to admit, as much as Streets of Rage 2 is one of my all time favourite games, I didn't think this would be good. I wasn't sold on the art style and something just seemed off about it to me but I watched a review today of someone that had similar feelings to me who is blown away by how good this is. It sounds like they did a tremendous job.
