Great game, runs horrible
on March 28, 2025
Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
Giving this a reluctant three star rating. Game is crazy fun, great sense of humor, and very simple to understand.
That said, it barely runs on the Switch.
This is well known - the subreddit and discord are packed with people complaining about it. The devs comment it should be fixed soon, but two patches in and it's just as bad.
I've completed the first campaign and barely completed the second but there's no way to get to the rest of the game with the crashes every 10-15 minutes and loss of progress. Certain quests cause a crash, every time, which is beyond frustrating.
Skip this on Switch and get it on PC instead.

Secret of Mana. On Switch. I know, right?
on January 18, 2021

Verified Purchase:Yes
You're either going to buy this for the nostalgia, or you're not. I mean, it's not revolutionary gameplay for today, but it's a massive kick in the nostalgia glands for those of us who played it back in the day. This game, with it's spinning selection discs, kept us riveted.
If I was you, I'd buy it. Right now. I mean, I did, which is why I am writing this review, but you should too. Are you still reading?

A man, a ghost dog, a rather powerful flashlight
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've never played a Luigi's Mansion game before but decided to give this one a try. After all, we're all locked in right now and I've gone through so many games that anything would work.
It was really pretty fun. I'm sure the people showing up have some plot reference. I don't know who they are. Or why he has a ghost dog that he likes but is scared of other ghosts.
Still a really fun game. Very easy to play, with a lot of collectables for the completionist.

The classic clay zombie singing movie
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
Did you know Tim Burton had nothing to do with this movie? It's true! He only had an idea and lots of other people did the actual work. But they didn't get their name in the title, did they? They should have been Tim Burton. Like my mom always said - If you can be anyone, be Tim Burton. Unless you can be Batman, then totally be Batman. Who also directed Batman. It's a circle.
The classic claymation Christmas movie not made by Franklin and Bass, you'll love and enjoy as a skeleton finds out that if you give someone a bad gift, they will shoot surface to air missiles at you. Truly touching.

The only two Home Alone movies ever made
on January 18, 2021
Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great double pack of the Home Alone movies. It's well known that there were only these two movies. Never any more movies. Anything you heard to the contrary is fiction. Trust me. It's better this way.
In case you've been living on a cave for 30 or so years, Home Alone is the story of a mom who cannot count to 12 and takes, on average, 8 hours to remember how many children she has. Hijinkins ensue as Joe Peshi tries not to swear while somehow not dying to multiple fatal traps set.
In the sequel, Kevin is once again not counted by his mother, but this time he's in New York. See Donald Trump's awkward screen presence he demanded for using his hotel in a shot. Amazingly, Joe Peshi, still not swearing, has followed this abandoned kid from Chicago to New York and will once again not die to even more fatal attacks than the last movie. Then there's birds.
Merry Christmas!

This is a gift card

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got a letter from Best Buy
They asked if I would try
To make a review
And share with you
About this card that I did buy.
So here's what I have to say about the card.
It's digital, so it's floppy, not hard.
I paid my cash
It showed up in a flash
And Kirk is the better captain than Picard.

True successor to Spider Man 2
on December 10, 2020
Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
If, like me, you refused to buy another game since Spider-Man 2, which of course the only other Spider-Man game that ever existed, now's the time to buy another one. This is really good.
My one complaint is the silver on ol' Spidey. It's wierd. I mean, a giant shiny chest piece and the shiny shoes...it's like he's got a little bling. Also, in a hidden cutscene, you'll see he has an impressive grill.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take these
on December 10, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
So very shiny. These are really neat. Seem them at several stores and wanted to get them for some time.
The graphics and colors are bright. The items are pretty game accurate, which should be expected since they are made by the manufacturer. Good strong pins, not sure what else to say.
Do you like Zelda? Able to use a pin without gravely injuring yourself. This may be the item for you.

As bland as vanilla ice cream with white bread

Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
Purchased this on a whim because it was $1.25. I mean, how bad can it be for that?
Kinda bad. Yeah.
Still, if you go in thinking "ok, this is a low-key, kinda cruddy party game" you won't be disappointed. You also won't be impressed. You will be...neutralled? I think that's a word. It is definitely a game.

Mandatory purchase for the base game.
on December 10, 2020
Posted by: GamingDave
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm the purchaser but not the primary user of this. The person who is has turned this into their Corona workout. It's a clever idea you have to admit.
Sadly, JD2020/2019/2021 really come with far too few songs. Unlimited is basically required if you want to do anything. That said, there's a stupid amount of songs. Anything you can think of. You want to jam to the latest hip hop hit? It's there. How about some 90's bangers? Got it. Prefer Pac Man Fever, Sesame Street theme, or, Lord help you, Baby Shark? It's all there.

iF i BUY A DIGITAL VERSION OF THIS FOR CHRISTMAS CAN WE WAIT TO DOWNLOAD UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY?

You should be able to. The game has been around for a long time and I would doubt it would disappear from the store. I purchased mine early November and will be downloading it after Christmas (gift purchased for someone to give to me).

Explore a fantastical adventure world to defeat a bodybuilding dragon and his minions using real-life exercises. Traverse grass-swept plains by jogging in place, attack enemies with overhead shoulder presses, and refill your health meter by striking some yoga poses. Two new accessories, Ring-Con and Leg Strap, measure your real-world actions and help turn them into in-game movements. With additional mini games, Ring Fit Adventure is a great escape for players of all skill levels and schedules. In the Adventure mode, defeat enemies with attacks based on real-world exercises. As you work through each level (and possibly work up a sweat), you'll earn experience points. Between fights, you may encounter some unusual methods of transportation, such as squat-powered launch pads and more. Want to compete with others? Pass around the Ring-Con accessory, and select from a few mini games: break boxes with gusts of air, craft pottery using squats and more.
 

Does anyone know when they will be selling this again? I've been saving up to buy a few games, and this was one of them.

Same here. From everything I can find, there's two reasons for most stores being out of stock of this. First, it was far more popular than expected. Apparently in Japan its even worse. Secondly, the Coronovirus has impacted production on this, joycons themselves, and the new model Switches coming out.

Hoping this comes back in stock before my GCU expires in a month!
