One of the adapters for me, a second set of joy-cons (though the 3rd party that looked more comfortable) for them. Best of both worlds!
Yeah, Iād recommend a second set of Joycons. They are the best way to ensure whatever game you buy for four players will work correctly. Having another Pro-style controller is good if you want that usage as well.
M30 is the best d-pad and buttons controller ever made IMO (Thanks @Left_Empty). If you want sticks though, either the adapter or the Nintendo Pro are good options.
Ehh youāll find those promise compatibility with most Switch gamesā¦ if theyāre way cheaper then I guess it may be worth a shot
Note to Discord - Cross post from Doom thread, fucking Discord, Iāll post the same damned link in another thread if I want to, you fucking robot.
Local non-corporate game store, fearing lockdowns, sold all their Animal Crossings starting at 6pm tonight. Iām playing my nieceās copy because my digital one wonāt unlock until ten. Woooooooooo

Thatās amazing, thanks for sharing in both threads. Forgot to check back on it and this reminded me!
A bunch of cool stuff is on sale on the eShop right now, including some cool titles on sale on Switch for the first or second time ever and some exciting historical lows. I ended up picking up Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster ($25, historical low on Switch but itās been on sale for this price before), Chocoboās Mystery Dungeon EVERY BUDDY! ($20, new historical low on Switch), Squidlit ($1, saw a speedrun recently and it looked cute), Child of Light ($5, been on sale at this price for a bit and my sister kept hyping it up), Psyvariar Delta ($20, only been on sale on Switch once before this), and the Tom Chick-recommended Caladrius Blaze ($12.50, first time Iāve seen it on sale on Switch).

Caladrius Blaze had my interest as soon as I saw it was a SHMUP. Then I saw the anime titties. Now I have to choose between this and DOOM Eternal.

So, I purchased Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Can it really be we dont have a thread for it?)
And its great. Butā¦after about an hour and a half of playing, it seems I have run out of things to do? My house will be ready tomorrow and that seems to be real time tomorrow? Thatsā¦certainly an interesting way to set up a game.
I assume its meant to be played a little every day, then?

Yeah apparently the first week or so is quite slow, my switch is due today so will take a look

Nice, @Reemul! Hope you and your family get to enjoy it immensely, as a bright spot in these days :-)

Yeah totally, i popped out and picked up Zelda for me, Mario Tennis Aces for all of us so we can play and also aim to get Golf Story as an avid golfer.
Fitness Boxing will be next so the boys and I can work out together when stuck in doors

Yep, thatās exactly how itās meant to be played. You canāt really binge it. I remember being unemployed with Wild World and having so much time to keep coming back, and thatās the worst way to āenjoyā it! Itās very chill and doesnāt expect you to be hammering it. Drop in, have a potter about, see whatās going on, do what you want, drop out and come back later, even at a different time of day.
I will say, and this is my first AC game so I am not expert, that it sounds like this one has the most āplay as much and as long as you wantā stuff going on with the Nook Miles and other little tasks and things you can work on, though some reviews hinted it takes a bit of time for that stuff to start showing up?
I wanted to play a bit more myself today but I got sucked into Doom and then had to get into work. I did play a little, got my tent set up and played through that first day, now a skeletal dog is playing a guitar and singing to me, so thatās where I have the game suspended, and Iāll hit it at lunch.
The best way to play Animal Crossing is like half an hour to an hour a day and with friends.
In a lot of ways, thatās the opposite of what how I play video games, haha!
I did really like what I saw - it looks so good (in hand held, I didnāt play docked yet) and it features just amazing animation and character. Wow. I made my character look like a huge derpy dork and heās awesome, Iām eager to jump back in.
It sounds like there is some randomization with regards to things like the fruit native to your island, and your starting two villagers. What fruit and villagers did everyone get? I got pears (which is awesome, I love pears), and a Hippo lady in an amazing spider-shirt named Cherry, and a french yellowā¦ frog? His name is unpronouncable or typeable. What I thought were his ears started blinking while he talked, which legit freaked me out, and then I realized his cheeks looked like closed eyes but his eyes are actually on top of his head, like a frog.
How goal oriented is this one? Between the real time stuff and the open-endedness Iāve fallen off previous Animal Crossings pretty quick. Something a little more directed like Stardew Valley or even Harvest Moon is more my thing.

EDIT: I just did this and fair warning, it takes probably 10 minutes after you finally download and launch the app to get through the little tutorial stage before you are then asked to pull down almost 600MB worth of additional data, and then you have the menu option (and the free reign to click on it) this article speaks of.
I wish I could answer this with more authority, but Iām super new to the series and this game yet. However, several reviews mentioned it, and were later commented favorably by folks on the Era thread, so I suspect itās fairly goal oriented, much more so (by far, sounds like) than any previous game yet.
