I so appreciate your reviews and upcoming game announcements!! So many UA-camrs think they have to talk 90 mph and I'm a visual learner so audio is hard for me sometimes. Your calming and relaxing manner and voice is so very easy for me to listen to and grasp without having to rewind 47x to catch everything! Plus you tell me exactly the things I need to know. Thank you for that!!
I just played Skystead Ranch this morning. It's rather simple but plays similarly to Slime Rancher, minus the combat. Lots of cute creatures and habitats to collect and create. :)
Okay, Jumping Jazz cats is gonna be one on my watch list... and also, was that Retusko on Hello Kitty Island at 0:29 or so? ... Wouldn't normally be tempted by sanrio as a franchise, but that could be an interesting crossover :D Also, it's lovely to see Aloft nearing release... It was kinda patchy when the first demo came out, I'm hoping they've been polishing it into a gem.
Ooh, Google says Retsuko IS in the game! And Jumping Jazz Cats is on my shortlist as well, as I was told that they have random matchmaking as an option.
@@BuckeyeBunny Heh :) I'll have to keep an eye open for other characters from the show... *Grudgingly moves the game from the 'No' category to the 'probably not' category.* ... Now too see if they include a karaoke bar and let her sing xD
I’ve been looking forward to Border Town- it’s not groundbreaking, but the graphics are charming and I want something new to sink into! I hope they’ll be ambitious with it. Thanks for more great recommendations! I love your channel.
I'm still undecided if I want to drop the 40 for Hello Kitty; it looks intriguing... will have to wait and see! The bunny game looks Cuuuuuttteee!! :) Great video! thank you for all your hard work! Happy New Year!
Right? It's a lot of money to drop on a predictable game, but I guess I did more than that for Animal Crossing...plus bought a friggin' Switch just to play it! Hoppy New Year to you as well, Misty...you're the bestest! 🥰
Looking forward to Aloft and will be checking out the 🐇 game. I would have been interested in Hello Kitty but I'm not willing to pay that much, the price is insane compared to other cute games. Luckily I have no emotional ties with Hello Kitty so no risk of FOMO taking over my brain. And I remember how I fell for Fae Farm and still regret it. Learned my lesson with expensive cute looking games.
Good point about Fae Farm. That's one I bought and refunded...and thankfully a refund is possible with Hello Kitty, for Steam users at least. I can rationalize the purchase as Nintendo titles like Animal Crossing are in the same price ballpark, but it certainly is no indie game bargain price. Heck, Aloft will probably be 25 bucks or less! 😊
@@BuckeyeBunny In case you need to rationalize further, people like me watch content creators' gameplay and feedback when in doubt about buying a game. So you would be helping others with your purchase! 😉😊
I’m definitely getting Hello Kitty Island adventure. I played a trial on Apple Arcade and really liked it. It’s a lot like animal crossing and I love Sanrio Characters so it’s a win win for me. I wish it wasn’t as much money, but I do intend on getting the deluxe version.
I let out a little giggle when I heard about Skycraft. If you're not familiar with the channel 'Viva La Dirt League' they have a long running gag (including recent video) where the game in question goes by the name of: Skycraft.
Where have you been all my YT life? Why am I just finding you . If you’re not a VA or an Audible Narrator you need to be. Cuz dude Wtf?! I love the content too but fr you have the most calming voice. I have ADHD and the MOST IRRITATING stimulus to me is a voice that has really exaggerated pronunciations or “quirks”- like sharp sounding S’s or softening your S’s into a shushing sound for example. I can’t And ur voice legit relaxed me so I felt genuine surprise when I realized it. Anywho. You rock. Thank you.
Every now and then, someone leaves a comment that is just so sweet that it fills me with a massive burst of encouragement to keep putting in the hard work. Thank YOU for your positivity! ♥ It was only relatively recently that people began telling me my voice relaxed them. It must be because I'm becoming and old lady and my voice is getting deeper, lmao. 🤣 But I love hearing that people enjoy listening to me.
I am very not sure, not for switch but I would like to wait for sale. It's just too much. I just got addicted to No Man's Sky and what you get for the price has made me reconsider prices for some cozy games and what I am willing to spend. But my gosh I want it, it's so cute!
@@airyspaw And NMS regularly goes on sale for around half off...bargain! It's a dilemma for sure, especially while the hype is big and, "I wanna play Hello Kitty too, gosh darn it!" 😂
Yes! Even though the Switch is sunsetting, it's a game I will want to play handheld. I see myself getting a lot of hours on it, so it'll be worth it for me.
@@BuckeyeBunny Yeah, I can sort of see Skystead being a maybe - but Hello Kitty just looks like a potential money-sink. But that's a future as yet unknown 😁
I voted yes to Hello Kitty but didn’t think about the price … thinking about it now as $40 or UK equivalent is too much whilst I’m still spending my time in Luma Island (70+hours) and that only cost less than £13 ! Maybe I’ll buy Hello Kitty at a later date, or maybe not!
When you put it in perspective, games like Luma Island or Fields of Mistria and the many others that cost around 20 bucks are a much better value. Clearly, the Hello Kitty franchise is profiting heavily...but it's still so cute, idk. 🤷♀️
For me personally, I would rather pay 60 USD for hello kitty island adventure, and be done, rather than keep paying the apple arcade subscription for the rest of my life. So I'll be buying it for the full price when it's time!! For the switch.
I hate how everyone that puts HKIA for switch on their cozy gaming videos, never announces that nintendo said its gonna be a limited time game on the switch. I think that would be very important for ppl to know
This is news to me, as there is no mention of this on Nintendo's shop page for the game. Are you saying they're only going to sell it for a short time on Switch? And if so, I'd love to know where to see this information please. Thank you.
I watched several trailers again, and the only thing I caught was a brief mention of "timed console exclusive," which in researching this (which lead me to Reddit), people explained this means it's coming to Switch first BEFORE other consoles (PS5/XBox). So I would guess Nintendo is trying to hold exclusive console rights while the hype is high but that HKIA is NOT going to disappear...it's going to be a huge revenue stream for Nintendo, so it doesn't make sense that it would be limited. Just my two cents and interpretation, and again, Nintendo mentions none of this on the game's shop page. 🤷♀️
Thank you so much for covering Bao Bao's Cozy Laundromat!!!
I'm really digging the cute laundry vibes...can't wait for the demo this month! 🐼
Yes I can't wait for Hello Kitty Island Adventure!!! Awesome video!
See?! This is the hype I'm talking about...FOMO's gonna make me buy it, lol! 🤣🥰

It makes my heart happy to hear that you enjoy my video style! ♥ I think it's the former teacher in me that wants to convey information clearly. 😊
I love your relaxing voice-over :)
You're so kind, thank you! 🥰
Great video! Bordertown and Skystead Ranch stand out to me.

This one intrigued me too with the mix of gameplay mechanics...not too cozy or intense. ♥
I can’t wait for Aloft.
Playing the Squeakross demo because of this video, and I'M OBSESSED! Thank you for mentioning it. Absolutely buying it when released.
Let's go!! I feel like a game matchmaker, lol! 🤭
@BuckeyeBunny ❤️ not only is the game cozy and fun, I'm also loving learning about rats and the rat sanctuary. It's beyond adorable.
Awesome video! one game I find very promising is Eletta.
I hadn't heard of Eletta! Added it to my wishlist, thanks!!
How have I not heard of S4U?! Thank you so much for putting it on my wishlist, it looks awesome
Same! I stumbled upon it while searching Steam! ♥

@@BuckeyeBunny 🤣🤣I did too!!! and then played for a month and never picked it back up!
Aloft looks awesome! I’ll have to wait for it to come to console. And Squeakcross looks so cute! But I don’t usually do number puzzles.

Hello and Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you too! 🎉

I appreciate learning your first impressions were positive! I just hope it's more than simple fetch quests and has some depth. ☺
@ it didn’t really seem like it, but I wasn’t able to play that long so I’m not entirely sure. I hope not too though.
I let out a little giggle when I heard about Skycraft. If you're not familiar with the channel 'Viva La Dirt League' they have a long running gag (including recent video) where the game in question goes by the name of: Skycraft.

Will you be dropping $40 on Hello Kitty Island Adventure?? 😻

I want to catch it on sale. Currently into Palworld.
@HoneyBadgerF98 Palworld is awesome ❤️❤️
Yes! Even though the Switch is sunsetting, it's a game I will want to play handheld. I see myself getting a lot of hours on it, so it'll be worth it for me.
Bit of a quiet month for me - only Aloft and Border really interesting. Fortunately it gives me a bit more time to try what I have 😁
I thought the same too, and then I dug and found more releases, but Aloft, Hello Kitty, and maybe Skystead Ranch are my highlights.
@@BuckeyeBunny Yeah, I can sort of see Skystead being a maybe - but Hello Kitty just looks like a potential money-sink. But that's a future as yet unknown 😁

Hello kitty paradise is great for those who miss hello kitty online
I never heard of Hello Kitty Online until someone else mentioned this...sad I missed the boat on this years ago. 😢
Who Else is here for bunnys?
🐰🐇🐰🐇🐰🐇meeeee!!
For me personally, I would rather pay 60 USD for hello kitty island adventure, and be done, rather than keep paying the apple arcade subscription for the rest of my life. So I'll be buying it for the full price when it's time!! For the switch.
I hate subscriptions too (cough cough...Nintendo Online)! 🤣
I totally get this rationalization.
I play switch more. I haven't figured PC gaming yet.

@BuckeyeBunny its on a nintendo trailer on yt. Its on IGNs yt channel. Its an official nintendo direct trailer

@@BuckeyeBunny oh ok
I’m not a big enough Hello Kitty fan to spend that on a game. I’d rather wait for the next AC or the other games coming out this year!
Me either, I'm just a sucker for cute games. 😂 But I totally get your perspective.
NEW PALWORLD DLC!
I wish! :)
they are porting Hello Kitty to PLAYSTATION 2??????
I'm giggling! lol
If you turn on the subtitles, I said "Playstation, too" as in "also", lol...was there even a Playstation 2? 🤭
