Wow, with this and the added avatar customization, they're actually addressing the long-term complaints about the UI. Maybe themes are on the way too?

[FriskyTanuki]

The folders are poorly done for my taste. They don't show up on the home screen at all since they're hidden in the library, so it's kind of useless in terms of getting the home screen to just be folders with every game available on it like 3DS, Wii U, PS3, and PS4 did them.

Agreed, five years and they still can’t give fans what they have been asking for.

Add the ability to pin them to the Home Screen and then this would be a nice new feature added.

You are also now able to filter archived titles out of the library, and that at least is pretty good

[CartCollector]

While it's not as visible as folders on the main menu, you CAN still use this to archive stuff away.  When adding software to groups, you can restrict your search to "ungrouped" software.  This makes it much easier to sift all your software into matching groups.

 

The only real problem I have with this system is that you seemingly can't easily sort the contents of a group automatically -- once added, it looks like you have to manually move titles within a group.

 

(Okay, I suppose it would be nice to either pin these to the main menu OR have a 1 button/tap "groups" option)

Too bad Capcom hasn't said whether Phoenix Wright 4-6 will come to Switch and PC. I'm guessing this will be the last chance to buy them for $4.99 each so may just go for it in case they're forever stuck on 3DS.

Streaming a bunch of the older Kirby games on Wii U (64, GBA, DS VC games) ahead of Kirby and the Forgotten Land's launch on Friday.

 

Edit: Here's the archive. I really like the way they handle options for displaying DS games on a Wii U with a bunch of different options.

 

Edit 2: Finishing up the old Kirby streams ahead of Kirby and the Forgotten Land with some Wii stuff (Kirby's Epic Yarn and Return to Dream Land).

 

Edit 3: Had not played Kirby's Return to Dream Land before, but that game is basically a predecessor of what the mainline 3DS games would be like in terms of level design, art style, and all that.

 

Here's the archive. These two games really should have been remastered for Switch at some point.

Walmart isn't doing the $10 off physical for Kirby per multiple reports. Amazon at $54.99 is the cheapest.

Amazon dropped the price? Wonder if they intend on crediting the difference to my order or not then?

They will tomorrow

Best deal on Kirby at the moment is Walmart with Kirby and the pop socket for $55.

Or, walk into GameStop and ask to price match Walmart or Amazon to save $5 and maybe get the pin set.

Streaming some Kirby and the Forgotten Land for those that want to see it in action. I'm just past the two levels that the demo has.

 

Edit: Here's the archive.

It does an online check before letting you enter them, so I don't know if that's to check for permissions from the demo or not. Also, make sure you're entering them in ALL CAPS since it's very picky about that.

Edit: Just got done entering all of the codes below the top three that I didn't already have, so here's the list from the Kirby wiki for those that want to enter them:

The code GAMESTOPCAN has been told to customers by GameStop employees, but it is known not to work.

Kirby soundtrack slaps. Hopefully won’t be long before the Tetris 99 theme is out. 

[born free]

Thanks Frisky.

Playing a few hours of Kirby, game has ton of charm and is very enjoyable so far. Really loving the 3D environments.

Best deal is using the Amazon pickup code (10OFFPICKUP) to get it for $45, if you have a locker location near you. You miss out on the pre-order bonuses from GameStop and Walmart, but I personally don't care for them

Yeah code doesn’t work for me. I think I used a similar offer last year.

yeah, you have to play the demo before the demo codes work. I just went through the demo and was able to redeem the presents.

[IronChariot]

Never used a pick-up locker and the code still doesn't work for me. Oh well, was probably going to wait for $40 anyway.

[spoderman]

Did you choose the pickup location before entering the code? Also try multiple locations. If you never used a code I think it should work

[TheLegendofTyler]

Try using the code on the Amazon app, I tried on browser and it didn't work but worked in the app.

[FriskyTanuki]

Yeah, the demo codes seem like the only codes that are limited to doing something else to be able to use them first. I went through the rest just fine.

Thanks for posting these codes! The demo codes actually worked fine for me just now and I've never even downloaded the demo.

I wish I had more time Friday/Saturday to play it this weekend. Only had a few hours today, but I'm really enjoying it.
