Image Credit: Nintendo  I may be stuck at home without my pre-order copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons shipped yet, and be forced to play Jedi: Fallen Order on my PS4 while Onur hoards our Switch to play The Touryst , but even when it arrives, sharing the game won't be as seamless as it could be. That's since Nintendo made it so that there is a one-island-per-console limit in the game. This was practice in previous Animal Crossing games, but there were ways around it on the Gamecube at least with multiple memory cards and I'm not sure about the 3DS. But to make consumers forced to buy not just another copy of the game, but an entire separate system if they live in a household where multiplayer wouldn't work out due to petty disagreements among siblings or family ("No! I wanted that tree there!" "But it's next to my house !"), or just want to be able to shape their own island, their own way. This particularly isn't good since in these ...

Individual Images Credit: Nintendo/House House; but the collage was done by me. Today was another day of virtual school, and our principal sent out an email yesterday that I didn't see until today saying that since NJ Governor Phil Murphy ordered all schools to remain closed until further notice, we'll most likely be doing virtual school for more than just this additional week. So I guess I'll be stuck indoors for the long haul, which as I wrote about yesterday , isn't very ideal. Anyways... Hey, you! Are you stuck indoors? Want suggestions of games to play on your Nintendo Switch during quarantine that are specifically themed after just having fun, relaxing, and doing all the things that you can't do whilst stuck indoors? Counting up to the very best possible choice (spoiler alert: it's Animal Crossing: New Horizons , which released last Friday, the day before my little brother's birthday (read my post about that, by the way: http://www.arcabaran.co...

Before I start, I'd like to tell you all to please read the post about this on my little brother Onur's own blog, from his own point of view, since he talks about it in a much better way than I'll be able to explain in this post, and I won't talk about everything he mentions. It's very well-written and entertaining, and contains plenty of photos that he took himself (which, in fact, I'm reusing all throughout this post!):  https://omegaonix.blogspot.com/2020/03/my-11th-birthday-special-edition-1-ft.html Read it yet? No seriously, go and read it! Now!! The coronavirus may have been able to take away (or delay for quite a bit) my little brother's planned retro arcade birthday party this year, but the greatest big brother in the world stepped up and dedicated hours to ensure that it would still be the best birthday day possible under the circumstances. For over a month, I had been preparing and planning for an ARG-like scavenger hunt for my little bro...

In today's gaming news roundup (a rare instance of me actually doing two news roundups two days in a row), I will take advantage of my later sleep schedule due to the sudden cancellation of all school and work in my school tomorrow for a staff day (that was one happy surprise of a voice mail, even if I'm not sure if they'll go ahead and add a day to the calendar) to write about more than just two separate topics. How many total, in fact? Three. The first part builds upon what we learned in a post I made two blogs ago ( http://www.arcabaran.com/2020/03/happy-mario-day-2020-lego-mario-announcement.html ) with some more interesting tidbits and a new trailer on Nintendo being Nintendo and subverting our expectations with the help of LEGO, the second part is about one fan's unexpectedly immature response to a very praised once PS4-exclusive being ported to PC, and the last part is a surprise featuring Tom Nook. Anyways, enough of the yip-yapping, and let's jump three tim...
