Pokémon Friends got shafted.

Oh yeah, I s'pose I forgot to post about the circumstances for how I scooped up a Switch 2 over the holidays. It was $50 off for Cyber Monday, and there was 10% off Target gift cards, and I had a cash back offer from my credit card. Now that's how to stack deals. So now I can be part of the club again!

Personally, I really liked the gameplay in Mario Tennies Aces, it was just a little lacking in modes and features. Fever appears to address that somewhat, although it looks like it has less online features than Aces does. In particular, you can't play 2-player doubles over matchmaking like you could in Aces, only in custom lobbies, which look pretty barren from what I saw. I may still pick up the game at some point in the future for a discount, but hopefully they have some updates planned for the game and will add 2-player doubles to matchmaking.

Not loving having to pay for a framerate update on a game that just came out a year ago, but at least it's only $5. Wish Nintendo had given the other Xeno games an update before I finished them last year. At least I'll be able to enjoy this one at a stable framerate.

Is anyone on the fence about Fever? I've been waiting to see one of you online playing but alas I am alone. This game is absolutely incredible if you enjoy Tennis in general or have always wanted to enjoy Mario Tennis but some ol' bullship like racket breaking got in the way. This game is a return to form. Single player(not so much story mode yet) has been pretty engaging and multiplayer online and off has had my home erupting in screams and laughter. This game is legit!

I think I saw SuperPhil from here playing it already! The game looks fun, but I don't want to fork over $70 for it, especially since last year was already very expensive with both new hardware and games like Metroid Prime 4. Glad to hear they've finally found their groove again though, since the Mario Tennis series feels like it's been floundering a little for decades now.

God, I wish they had just released some sort of upgrade pack. I have no interest in unlock stuff for NG+ but I would have gladly taken the performance bump.

With MGS4 on Switch 2 I'm now reasonably certain that every game mentioned on 103 except for WoW is on a Nintendo console.

Tennis Fever is the most interested I've been in a Mario Tennis game since probably the GameCube version. It's definitely looked great. But I don't have a Switch 2 and when I do get one, it's not a title I'm going to be getting and playing right away. There's other titles I'd want to jump into first so I'm afraid I can't help you out on that front for some time if you are seeing me on your Switch friends list.

What's bad about tumbleweeds? Free and unfettered, able to travel where the wind blows. And they seem to be able to get around everywhere. Some days I'm surprised to see a tumbleweed appear in an area and kind of impressed at its ability to find a way. And they're totally essential to upgrade your shield and bow in Skyward Sword. Tumbleweeds rock!

It's worth noting that, apparently (for once), this release does have a bunch of stuff you can carry over from your original Ys Nordics save IF you already beat it and have a clear save, including levels; equipment; etc..
