Hot Top New Old

I’m surprised that Nintendo is only charging $5 for HD graphics in Animal Crossing, but everyone on both Switches gets the lite version of the Happy Home Paradise DLC for free.

Switch 2 players should at least get HHP for free if they’re paying $65 for a 5-year-old game (like a Game of the Year Edition kind of thing), but what do I know? I’m just happy we’re getting new content in AC after 5 years.

Just noticed Octopath Traveler 0 is missing, I think it’s releasing today actually.

Although I still don’t know what to think of it, the first trailer gave heavy mobile energy and I never looked further.

There are just Nintendo first party games. Octopath is published by Square Enix.
