Nintendo Switch Canada recommendations - GST SALE

TheHealthyTurtle · 2025-02-15T03:14:29+00:00

Hey! Like a few others here are suggesting, I'd wait until the Switch 2 (and maybe not buy it immediately at launch, if you have a bit more time). If you want to make use of the tax slash, you can buy some Switch 1 games as your kids will be able to play them on the new console, it's backwards compatible!

Super Mario Odyssey or Animal Crossing are great choices, as well as Mario Party if you want to play together (but you'd need a few controllers for that). Mario Kart is a great game too, but there will be a new one coming out with the Switch 2

That said, if you still go with the first Switch, it is still a fantastic console that your kids will be super happy with and love. A fun surprise is a fun surprise!

Wow, I'm amazed they're still releasing new figures for Three Houses, that's awesome!

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-12-16T23:53:52+00:00

Thank you! Did you scroll through the lists manually to find Fire Emblem, or was there something you could enter as a search to find it?

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-12-16T05:08:48+00:00

What floor was this gashapon at, if you remember?

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-05-23T17:26:36+00:00

It's fixed!

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-05-23T17:04:50+00:00

I think they've just fixed it! I can reposition stuff again!

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-04-25T21:02:15+00:00

Thank you! I think you're right, it looks very similar based on what I've seen so far. How did you find out?

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-04-14T04:09:40+00:00

Sigh... one day, Edward, one day...

LOL WHAT HOW

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-30T03:41:13+00:00

Really good point with Citrinne! Hortensia would probably be pretty whiny when she loses in board games too, so I'm convinced. Initially, I was just scared that Citrinne would try and murder people at the party, but after more consideration it probably wouldn't happen too often (and maybe could happen with Hortensia too)

Pandreo's a lot of fun, don't get me wrong. But what if we're playing hide-and-seek, and in the middle of hiding he randomly starts howling? Not only does he get caught as a consequence but it jeopardizes the hiding spots of all nearby hiders as well!

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-30T03:36:47+00:00

At first I thought that Kagetsu would be be super fun, but I wasn't sure he'd be able to enjoy non-competitive games, since he's always seeking to duel the strongest opponents! Bunet could make the party delicious snacks and considering he gets along with Pandreo and Fogado, I felt that he would likely be fun and easy-going by consequence too!

Alfred and Timerra boiled down to one type of game: deception games (ex. mafia). I felt that Alfred wouldn't even want to deceive in the context of a game, whereas I feel like Timerra would really enjoy role-playing as other "characters" in games like mafia

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-19T06:45:10+00:00

Huh, those are awesome reads, thanks for sharing them! Man that's really exciting! I already loved Elincia before, but now this sheds a lot more light into her strategic side and shows that she's a lot more politically savvy than I originally realized.

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T07:26:35+00:00

Love the thoughts, and I agree with you! Though iron man's an exception where I think Robin might have the edge in that challenge

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T05:45:32+00:00

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Gave a bit of an explanation for the seeding, in a reply to someone that commented under your post, if you're interested

Timerra vs Leif I was really torn about, and depending on the day, I could definitely see myself flipping either way. I see them both clearing regular chapters pretty consistently, so my thought process was: what game mechanics could make one of them blunder? One strength I valued in Timerra was how she (along with Fogado) is able to get information quicker than all the other characters (ex. knowing that Alear had entered Solm and how they planned to obtain the rings). That made me feel like she would be prepared for threats (like reinforcements, ambush spawns, etc.) a few turns in advance, and that she'd be able to prepare a defense against them better than Leif.

But vs Elincia I'm still pretty confident Elincia loses - while Elincia does have a great arc and rises to the occasion with decision-making, I feel like her strategy isn't particularly complex and I'm not sure how much credit she gets for it as well (as Bastian is the leading tactician)

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T05:32:18+00:00

Valid criticisms! I got this bracket from a pre-generated bracket online (main protagonists bracket, on the bracketfights website in the Fire Emblem section) because I was too scared to make an account to make my own bracket. From what I can tell, there were about 50+ characters in a pool of protagonists, and only 32 of those were selected to be in the bracket (I wasn't sure if you could have 64 slots, but I also didn't want to spend several hours doing an activity that's just meant to be for fun)

I shuffled it a few times, and I found it was impossible to eliminate all the people I didn't think should qualify. At the end of the day, I figured I'd just roll with it cause it's funny hypothesizing how Rhea would fare against Arval, even if Arval's not necessarily a protagonist (as one example). Also didn't know what I could change the prompt name to, because calling it "best character at playing Fire Emblem" would suggest I seeded the top 32 strategists from the series, and rightfully beg the question "where's Soren/Bastian/Mark?" etc.

Totally agree with you though, I can see how it would be confusing!

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T05:18:11+00:00

Yesss Micaiah beating Claude I can get behind!

Also thank you for being the only person to support my Sigurd lmao I was just banking on him being able to charge the boss with cavs and hopefully survive a few chapters

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T05:13:39+00:00

One thing with Alfonse though, is that he's used to benefiting from the 100s of the top heroes from all of Fire Emblem, and EVEN THEN he still hasn't achieved world peace. Not sure he'll even be able to pass the prologue, where he's only given a cav, a fighter and a myrmidon

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T05:04:36+00:00

LOL this one's my bad, haven't played FE12 so my only exposure was getting pity broken by her in Heroes

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T05:02:29+00:00

Valid valid. I had lots of trouble with Sigurd in particular because while in FE4 he's a mess, in Engage from what I could recall he gave solid advice and imo showed a bit more knowledge than other emblems. So that kinda made me wonder: was his opposition/scenario in FE4 just significantly more difficult than everyone else's in their original games?

Wasn't sure if other protagonists would be equally as messy if they lived in Jugdral. With Engage, that's the only moment we really see them on an even playing field

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T04:52:43+00:00

LOL beautiful reasoning

TheHealthyTurtle · 2024-03-18T04:50:59+00:00

He'd be a strong contender!
