  1. Kinda wild to hear these restocks, but still pretty cool!

     

    By the way, I did finally get the Noah/Mio 2-Pack.  Maybe the initial shipment was just small but I noticed on Gamestop's website this morning that it noted a store about 6 - 9 miles away had three left.  Well, on my route I went to a Target and they have a Gamestop next to them, so I just took a chance to see if any were there.

     

    They had like, two full pegs of 'em.  On their website, it doesn't even list that store as an option with availability for that amiibo like they had no stock.  My reaction?

    Once you hit the point I'm at with already having everyone, you can't not have the last guy LOL. :(  But, if I'm keeping it real, I needed him to hit free shipping LOL.

     

    XD

     

    I absolutely understand that though, if I was going for a full collection then of course I'd be all over it.  I just decided to just settle on my favs or the ones that look cool :P

    Quite a few games I liked in this presentation, I think all that had a demo, I actually want to play:

     

    On your Tail, looks interesting

    I would really like to give Howl a try out, glad there's a demo

    Blade Chimera....yes please!

    Now this Highland Song, the only reason I want play it is for a selfish reason....does the girl character sound like Nia from Xenoblade Chronicle 2 or am I hearing things? @Kezay

    Another Mystery game, Death Trick: Double Blind, for sure playing the demo

    And I guess Planet of Lana looks interesting as well.

     

    So yeah, gonna download those demos.

     

    Now that you mention it, she does sound a bit like Nia.  I even try to imagine her saying "Ready or Gormotti!" lol

  4. 40 minutes is pretty hefty especially considering how robust the last big direct was and not too long ago had one completely focused on Super Mario Wonder.  Granted, I'm sure they will be covering already existing games with new updates/footage but there's gotta be some bangers in there.

     

    We dreamin' big boys and girls:

    Xenoblade Chronicles X port

    Mario Kart 9

    Oracle of Ages/Seasons Remake (on Link's Awakening engine)

    New Excite game

    New Ice Climbers game

    Metroid Prime 4

    Metroid Prime Hunters: Hunt Harder With A Vengeance

    Tales of Phantasia Remake

    Remember Sakura Samurai?  No?  Well a new one of those!

    I lucked into gs just getting their ups delivered an hour before I arrived at 3:45p.  Online failed me.

     

    I'd argue to check bby around mid week because they usually get a 2nd wave that hits the following week from launch week for amiibos.

     

    Also, follow amiibonews on Twitter...they post stock updates regularly. 

     

    I'll have to do this then and just cross my fingers.  It's just super odd because it's super hit and miss when I luck into or fail at securing a special edition or amiibo or whatever.  Metroid Dread special edition?  No luck.  Tears of the Kingdom, walked right into the Target and the rep basically offered it to me; hadn't even occurred to me to ask because it's friggin Zelda and I was sure there was no way.

    I hear that, man. This is the first time in awhile I didn't PO amiibo and I knew day 0 would be hard but similar how I got the CE and OLED TotK Switch, it takes dedication, luck and timing most importantly to make sure you can find a spot that has one or PO.

     

    Also, doesn't hurt if you want something that bad, that not that you will do anything for but pretty much not give up till you find what you are looking.

     

    Also, also not saying you don't have any of the above to find Pyra/Mythra amiibo but as I initially said, it's hard out there man.

     

    Also, funny that you can look at it that amiibo are popular again but there's 2 factors at play at these rarity of this amiibo; amiibo for the last few years have wane so different than the craze and everyone wanted so it was sold out. There's even less of them made so it is made even more scarce then before. 2; Xenoblade stuff just sells out cuz ppl know their value to scalp ontop of the first factor of rarity.

     

    The 2nd factor can be avoided altogether that over the last 5 years Xenoblade have seen quite a surge in popularity, don't know how many times I said this but how hard is it to provide the supply when they see this demand for Xenoblade stuff? I just don't get why they just don't provide it? Yeah, it's kinda niche but Xenoblade is sell FE numbers and ppl don't call that and Metroid niche so why is Xenoblade treated different with supply versus any IP with Nintendo to sell, per se?

     

    The special edition for Tears of the Kingdom I secured with no problem, fortunately.  I'll for sure keep looking for Pyra/Mythra but I refuse to give in to scalper prices.

    I don't remember anything about Origins' voice acting quality, but I can't say I'll miss Eternal Wings' English voice work! Except for maybe the Great Mizuti. But yeah it's a shame they didn't redub it and include an English option.

     

    Origins' was really solid, I honestly can't think of bad voice in it; then again I haven't touched it since it came out lol!  The dual voice effect for Guillo is one of my favorites in that game.

     

    But yes, Eternal Wings' was ROUGH.  Me also in agreement with you on Mizuti probably being the only decent one.  Maybe even Savyna too I'd say.

  7. Haha, it's all good!  That's just how things shook out and I don't mind it.  I'm just happy that I raced well enough to get that far; I'm in it for the fun and chilling with you all whether I end with 18 points or 118 points.  The Mario Kart experience for me is half the game Nintendo developed and the other half is sharing good times with good people.

    In all seriousness though, pretty fantastic Direct and looks like there is some solid stuff coming up for the second half of the year and on into the holidays.  Can't wait!

    Dumbass question... just fall off back deck to land in/on hyrule?  My flying wings keep dying out and I plumet to my death...

     

    LOL...should have just fallen... SMH....

     

    Aim for the bushes! :P

     

    But no really, just like you figured just let yourself fall until you're near the ground and deploy your glider.  Either that or dive, direct yourself towards a body of water and hope you land in it XD

  11. It is absolutely wild the complete transformation Zelda has seen this generation.  Breath of the Wild was likely the first time that Zelda as an IP became an evergreen selling title.  But to follow up with Tears of the Kingdom basically doing a repeat of the initial performance of Scarlet/Violet after 6+ years of Switch being on the market is nuts and amazing to see.  Just cool to see how far things have come and it's so well deserved.

    I've never had this happen. I played for maybe 45 minutes when my Nintendo Switch put itself into sleep mode as the unit got too hot. It has been feeling hot whenever I play Metroid Prime Remastered too, but has yet to take me out of that game. I'll probably buy compressed air and shoot into the vent on top of the Switch. If that doesn't help, I might have to figure out how to open the system up and clean it that way if there's build up inside. I'm not all that interested in buying a replacement Switch at the moment, so hopefully all is good after a little extra care. 

     

    Not that it helps but this is how my fiancee found out that her Switch was on the way out.  She had an OG model, though it was a combination of her Switch running hot and the battery life being severely shortened even after an all night charge.  Hopefully, you're able to get yours back to normal though since it doesn't sound like the battery issue has hit on your end.
