I can't describe the excitement I had when I saw Fantasy Life. I literally cried I was so happy. The first game holds such a special place in my heart.
I’m so happy with a new Fantasy Life! Was definitely one of my favs on the 3DS and a title I’d play over again once in a while. Really unique in its own way. It had so much to offer and content, I’m curious to see what this one will be like! 🤩
I can’t believe I actually yelled “YES!” out loud when I saw Professor Layton 😂 so keen for a new Layton game! Also keen for Pikmin and Fantasy Life. Stoked we’re being treated with so many great games!
Fantasy Life is one of my most desired ports on the Switch, so to say I'm hyped about this sequal is an understatement. Also, from what you've described about your tastes, I think you're right that this is the AC-type game you've been waiting for. Like you, I loved AC, but prefer something that has a bit more direction to it. The last Fantasy Life had the perfect mix of freedom and questing, with *loads* of content (I played for well over 10o hours). If this is anything like that, it's going feel right at home here on your channel. I can't wait!
As soon as I saw Fashion Dreamer was developing by the same people behind Style Savvy/Style Boutique I got so hyped! I played thru Styling Star on my 3DS and it was insanely fun to just pick out different outfits for yourself and other characters
I am so excited for Fashion Dreamer! It’s not Style Savvy but it’s the same developer so I have hope that it’ll be good. I’m pretty certain it will at least be the best fashion game on Switch since no one else seems to take fashion games seriously outside the mobile games market (and even that is a bit rough).
So glad to see Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Loved playing that game and so excited to see it come back, gives me hope that there might be a sequel to this game in the future.
your freaking livestream for the direct was AWESOME. I finally got to catch it, and I just appreciate the energy and vibes you brought to the experience. Thank you for this and all your content, you are awesome and wonderful. My favorite gaming channel!
Yes! I had a great time watching the recap! I can't wait for Fantasy Life because I played THE HECK out of that on the 3ds, and I look forward to so many others, including Professor Layton since it sounds like I missed out on the original as I only played the 3ds one which was not great.
I died when I saw professor Layton. I found them on the DS by fluke and loved them. I still have to play the one that came out on the switch so I’ll get to that asap!!
I absolutely loved the Style Boutique games and I've been hoping for a Switch one. I'm sad this is looking like it doesn't have the boutique, but... I'm cautiously hopeful for it anyway.
Nintendo owns the Style Savvy/Style Boutique name, yet refuses to do anything with it, so Syn Sophia went to a different publisher and had to make a distinct fashion game. So, while it isn't Style Savvy/Boutique, it will hopefully be just as good quality!
@@jadaw644 I hope it will have more to it than what appears in this little trailer. If you're just putting together outfits and rating them I worry the game won't have any longevity.
I was so excited about Profesaor Layton I stopped the direct and proceeded to explain to my husband the plot of all six main games and the crossover with Ace Attorney. His response was "How do you remember all that?" Lol
Fantasy Life is hands down the best game there is on the 3ds. It's made with soooooo much care and love, you can FEEL IT. I have NEVER played a game so vast in possibilities that was made with so much blood, sweat and tears. I played soooo many hours and I still haven't finished it. There's even a DLC out there that only cost about 7€ or something? And it made the world EVEN BIGGER and it was SUCH A BRILLIANT DEAL FOR 7€, it's insane. I highly recommend looking into it! That being said, I was incredibly happy to hear them announce it. Actually, at the start of the direct, my mind went "wouldn't it be funny if they announced a Fantasy Life 2?", so for some reason I wasn't as surprised as I should be since it was soo incredibly unlikely that they would actually do it after they made a phone game just to get the good ol $. So I'm being cautiously optimistic but also a bit wary. It looks alright but at first glance it doesn't look as beautifully done as the 3DS game that had BEAUTIFUL scenery. We haven't seen much as of yet, true, but everything Nintendo touched rn has made me furious lately HAHAHAHA. So I'm just gonna wait and see first. I'd hate for anyone to ruin this awesome game...
Fantasy Life, Professor Layton, Atelier Ryza 3, Octopath Traveller 2, Mika and the Witch’s Mountain, Tears of the Kingdom and Pikmin 4!!!!!!!! What a year this is gonna be! I genuinely cannot contain myself!! I loved my 3DS for the cozy games, but the Switch is starting to take over in cozy handheld games. There’s so many amazing ones already and so many more to come.
im excited for fantasy life but i lowkey hate how it looks idk. it should’ve looked like snack world, but it don’t. maybe I’m stuck on the nostalgia of the first game
I literally cried happiness from fantasy life! I was addicted to this game I even got all my friends to buy a 3ds and fantasy life. I am so happy to see a new one!
Love your list! Another one I am EXTREMELY excited for is Sea of Stars. I played the demo too and it gives me very Octopath Traveller meets pixeled-BOTW which is everything to me!!! The demo looks gorgeous and the flexibility in playstyles of the characters have me so excited. It comes out in August so its a bit of a wait but I just really want to share the excitement!!
1. Fantasy life is so perfect for cozy gamers. I absolutely loved this and not many knew about it. It feels more like an mmo that you play by yourself. 2.I have put so many hours into all the Style Savvy games (Fashion Boutique) I am so happy that the switch will have a dress up game it has been dying for. I am not sure if the original style savvy was released in the UK, since it says "NEW STYLE BOUTIQUE 2 3DS" and I am pretty sure it is the 4th in the style savvy games. I am not sure though. Also known in Japan as Girl Mode. *Update* Just looked it up, Fashion Dreamer is being developed by the same creator of the Girl Mode/Style Savvy/Style Boutique games! 3. Ghost trick has an amazing story and graphics. I really enjoy the ds graphics for the game, I think they really hold up. This is also a game I didn't know many people who had played it. But this is one of the best DS games out there. Some of the puzzles can be a bit hard, but everything feels rewarding. The game is also very forgiving, if you fail you can restart. Overall a great year to be a casual/cozy gamer!
This is my fav of your 2023 announcement videos! I am absolute ecstatic about Prof. Layton and the fashion dreamer game, and I am physically gripping the edge of my seat waiting for my SE tears of the kingdom to arrive in less than 4 days time!!
My brother lost his save file of Fantasy Life on his 3DS. We are ALWAYS talking about how it would be awesome to have a sequel of it. And here we are in 2023... I got the game on day 1. One of the best game I bought
The first Fantasy Life for Switch was just fantastic. Such an amazing game. I'm really happy that there'll be a sequel! I'm just a little worried that it will be too similar to tge first one. I see many familiar characters and occupations, I hope they achieve a feeling of some kind of freshness while playing.
I missed the direct so thank you for the great highlights! I’ve been wanting to play Fantasy Life again so bad so I’m so excited to see a new Fantasy Life game. I spent hours on the DS version and the DLC!
Found this video because I’ve just seen that Fantasy life is dropping onto Switch this year and I’m so pumped that I’m pulling out my 3DS tonight to play the old game. I’m so excited I can’t even hahah. I’m also thrilled about the new Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games so it feels like it’s a great year for cozy games ❤
I bought my 3DS in Korea 6 years ago, not realizing they were legion locked. Finally hacked it a few months ago (had 2 kids, 3DS got forgotten) and the first game I started playing was Fantasy Life. I'm so excited for the new one!
The fantasy life games were so so good! So many hours of play time I loved them so much. I actually considered buying another 3DS to get the game, so this makes me really happy
The fantasty life game looks so cute but my partner pointed out that they the trees being cut down are the exact same trees as animal crossing and now I can’t unsee it 😂 But will admit, I’m the most excited for katamari! Love that series so much!
Omg Fashion Dreamer looks amazing! ✨✨ I had Style boutique as a kid and it was basically the only reason I even had DS. I was disappointed that SB was such a short game though and became very repetitive over time, I hope they have managed to make more content into this new one 🤗
Wait. Wait. WAIT. MY FAVORITE 3DS GAME HAS A GAME COMING TO SWITCH. FANTASY LIFE WAS MY MOST FAVORITE GAME OH MY GOSH IM SO EXCITED. the music. The memories. The crafting. The amount of hours. AHHHHHHHH
Ahh! SO excited for Professor Layton! I had them all for DS and I even paid to have them on my phone now too! I got many friends playing those games way back when! And your comment on Animal Crossing was EXACTLY how I felt. I spent loads of time playing, harvesting, trading turnips, paying off Tom Nook etc and then full stop. Here you go do whatever…..uhhhh…. uhhhh…. ok so I guess I’ll do nothing. My switch didn’t get touched for months after that. I actually just got back to playing on it after stumbling upon your channel and finding out about DDLV and Wyldeflowers (I’m loving both by the way!)
Sooooo excited for Baten Katos and Fantasy Life!!! Gives me hope maybe we'll get another Tomodachi Life (and Magician's Quest mayyybeee) heh but am just sooo happy for these two alone but, quite a few I'm interested in from the Direct!! Might actually pull out my 3DS to play some Fantasy Life in the meantime lol Was my first time joining you for a Direct, and was lots of fun!!!
Ive never played Fantasy Life before, so I’m looking to playing this entry! It looks very promising. However, as a long-time Style Savvy/Boutique fan, I’m skeptical about this release. The trailer seemed to focus on online interactions and the idea of being an influencer- neither of which are really my thing.
I would always think itd be nice if they remade fantasy life for switch bc it was ona my fav 3ds games so i was sooooo excited to hear abt the new one! I cant wait for it
Fantasy Life was so good for 3DS, I can't wait to get back into it on the switch. I didn't think they would ever put Fantasy Life on switch. I can't wait!
I'm sad they didn't show the Atelier Marie remake in the US/EU direct. I haven't tried any of the Atelier games yet, but they look super cozy and being able to get into them with a remake of the very first game of the series gets me really excited..
I'm so excited for phantom detective! I remember playing it on the phone when I was younger and I really enjoyed the game! I wonder if they'll do anything differently on the switch! Thank you so much for the good news!!
First time watching anything from your channel, and I'm so happy I did! Love your descriptions for each game and editing all around. Definitely a new sub!
Seeing Professor Layton return makes me want to pull out my ds and replay the old games. Also, I found out that many Professor Layton games are available on mobile. I got them all 😊
Not a conventional cosy game but I'm hyped for the Etrian Odyssey remasters. As for the cosy games you outline here, Fantasy Life and Kirby's Return to Dreamland are my most hyped titles, although Ghost Trick is also on my hype list. Also happy to finally try out the Baten Kaitos games :)
I played fantasy life on the 3DS back then and I remember loving it so much and being so sad there always was only this one game of it. Therefore the second part for the switch was a dream coming true*-* But I will not lie, nothing makes me more excited then professor layton♡ I'm listening to the soundtrack until today and would have never thought to see another game of it. I screamed♡
Play Fantasy Life on the 3DS trust me. Its AMAZING. We wanted that game on the switch SO BAD we were told it wasnt going to happpen and now it has happened! I am beyond excited to play this on the switch! Its more like Chibi Skyrim than ACNH. Becuse you want to take every one of the 12 professions to help you do all the things. Trust me try the OG. It is SO good.
I didn't watch the whole direct, but when I saw Fantasy Life as the thumbnail on this video, I clicked to watch immediately! I loved Fantasy Life on the 3DS!
Thank you for the more in depth look at tons of things that caught my eye. Going to download a bunch of demos to try new to me games while I wait for releases.😊
the replayability of the original fantasy life oh my god. even the careers i thought i wouldn’t care for i still sunk hours into. i genuinely cannot wait. i’ll have to get used to the new art style for sure lmao. i’m surprised it’s suddenly getting really popular bc it’s one of those games that somehow is in like every ds game lot being sold on ebay lmao i swear. i’ve collected so many somehow, yet so few people i know have actually played it. it’s such a fucken great game
@@Eeowna Glad to see Grow is still so beloved..would love it to get more content updates though! Katamari, Fantasy Life and Fashion Dreamer all being in one direct make me glad I don't have heart issues....my poor butt would've been excited into a palpitation or two! I'm still feeling like I have to lift my jaw off the floor, lmao!
The level of excitement for fantasy life I have is very high. As well as finally seeing a fashion type game, a little disappointed it doesn’t seem like it’ll have the boutique aspect. However if Nintendo ever wants to make the nostalgic side of me beyond happy, they would bring back Pop Cutie, either remastering the original DS version or releasing a new version 🥲
I'm a little worried that this Fantasy Life is trying to compete with Animal Crossing a bit, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I just hope that all the aspects of the original game is fleshed out and it doesn't try to be something it's not.
I have to agree with you after seeing some similarities .. this game had always been unique and doesn’t need anything to compete with. I liked how you could decorate the houses, but with this it looks a lot like AC. (Even the little houses at the beginning and the plaza at the end) BUT I’m very excited for this release, I had almost gave up hope for a sequel and was totally surprised to see this in a direct! It was one of the best titles on the 3DS imo!
So excited for Fashion Dreamer! Loved playing Style Boutique 1, 2 and 3 on the DS back in the day, was starting to think they’d never make a new game for the switch 🥹
I got so excited about Fantasy Life!! I have it on my 3ds!! 😆 im actually like 95% done with my acnh island and once im done im DONE. I can't wait for this game so i can put hundreds of hours into it!!! I hope we get a release date soon~
I’m so excited for a new professor Layton game, gonna get my ds out and replay all the previous ones! Might also get me to complete the lady Layton game too
Actually, the Katrielle game is the only one that just been a mess. And the puzzle was like “WTF” kind of moment. But I still love the Professor Layton series. And yeah, I’m curious how it would be on the Switch from the DS format. Also, I did miss playing Fashion Style, so it’s been 10 years since we haven’t seen the game. As for Pikmin 4, I want it connected to the mobile game for some odd reason. Don’t know why, maybe cause it would be neat to connect it with something.
the only thing i didn't like abt fantasy life is, i'm the kind who likes to clean out my quest log and if u do that it basically means u end up having to upgrade a class / job ur not interested in haha
