Do we know if this edition includes English

[@SwitchWatch]

It hasn’t been officially confirmed as the publisher refuses to say. But all the evidence points to yes, it does have English.

[@alvaroadrados268]

@@SwitchWatch maybe limited run is going to release one of those semi-exclusive editions and they dont want to spoil it. They did the trick with celeste, streets of rage, river city girls...

[@samuelc6246]

Moon was actually a quite decent DS sci-fi FPS as well. I really look forward to play this one though, but I'm afraid I WILL wait for a sale. Digital games can be around €10 tops for me... I do have other financial priorities., and I have fallen in the trap of collecting too much in the past.

[@hario1996]

My father made this game one of music MD. My father has already passed away. He was a hopeless man who liked to gamble, drink and smoke, but I'm proud that his creations are now recognised by game fans around the world.

[@RM668]

May god Bhudda bless your family

[@pauljacob99]

Bhudda isn’t god.

[@SWITCHNSTEAM]

He sounds like Hasegawa from Gintama MADAO. The game looks cool thank you father for helping to create it! i will play it.

[@jamesz1247]

Finished the game, and the ending is absolutely AMAZING. However, if anyone is considering picking this up, I have a couple tips: -Don’t try to do too much in the beginning of the game. Take things slowly, and do one or two tasks before going to bed. Soon enough, you’ll have enough love to go a whole day without dying and you can unlock a form of quick travel. -You will unlock a person who gives out hints for a small sum of money. Don’t be afraid to use them if you’re stuck! -Make sure to read every monster description! -Don’t be afraid to use a guide if you’re absolutely stuck. There’s a puzzle where you need to eat things in a certain order and I have absolutely no clue how someone playing for the first time is supposed to figure it out.

[@retrovcr777]

Thanks

[@Rihcterwilker]

The fan translation was like 6 years in the making and still unfinished. It's so unusual to see an official translation coming out for this at this point, but i'm glad it did came out and people are loving it.

[@SwitchWatch]

I’m certainly very happy! I know fan translations are a lot of hard work by dedicated fans, but for me there’s nothing quite like an official translation!

[@johnmarcolini5506]

Yes I will be picking this up! Was just waiting on a review and here it is. Thanks as always!

[@SwitchWatch]

Enjoy buddy 🙂

[@MrJimithee]

I've never played this but I kinda feel an instant nostalgia for it. It's such a product of it's time! And as for the ACTUAL moon, I'd give it an 8 even though the f***er's always staring at me x

[@SwitchWatch]

I can’t believe you’d give the Moon an 8, such bias! 😆

[@wrathpsp]

@@SwitchWatch Bloody moon fanboys. Everyone knows all the hottest releases come from the sun!

[@spunkyfidget70]

I’ve been interested in this game for many years now, and excited to finally play a translated version of this. I love me a physical though, so I may hold off for now.

[@SwitchWatch]

Yeah maybe wait if you don’t fancy importing

[@corygraham4828]

This looks like a very funky game. I never knew this existed to be honest. I'm interested but have other things I need to play and buy lol. Thank you for your time and review. I will definitely use your link if I grab it. I've been using it lately. Love you guys so gotta support you when i can!

[@SwitchWatch]

Thank you very much buddy, greatly appreciate it 🙏

[@oswaldoguadarrama3532]

I was waiting on a review of this one, will be picking it up. thanks!

[@SwitchWatch]

Nice!

[@chocolocojames213]

Glad it has a good review. Will pre order the collector's edition on Amazon JP. Thanks for the review 😊😊😊

[@SwitchWatch]

You’re welcome bud!

[@Dzztzt]

Looks like a charming story. Very light-hearted game that I think is needed desperately right now.

[@SwitchWatch]

For sure!

[@SketchesOfMoondays]

I will say that it really wallops you emotionally! It's heartwarming, sentimental, goofy, trippy, and says something big about the world. Do enjoy!

[@DenDenNintendo]

Nice review will pick this up on a sale

[@ppfclark]

Thanks! Great Review! Definitely want that collector’s edition.

[@SwitchWatch]

Can’t wait for mine to arrive!

[@garretthintz4154]

SwitchWatch will the collectors edition have English on it

[@adriannaamato9833]

This looks great! I will def pick up!

[@SwitchWatch]

Hope you have fun with it!

[@AlvarWahle]

right onto the wish list! thanks!

[@SwitchWatch]

You’re welcome 😃

[@xristo702]

I remember Kenichi Nishi toying with the idea of a moon sequel years ago.....with any luck this idea might be revisited.

[@chriscross781]

great review my man I subscribed and left a like I might buy this game sounds very interesting and a nice change of pace

[@SwitchWatch]

Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy our content!

[@jml4258]

I found this review and it made me completely certain to get this game someday! Thank you for this, one of the only channels I trust for reviews. I really want this game, but too many amazing games have come out the past weeks, it’s difficult to keep up lol

[@jaym5118]

Limited Run Games will be doing physical pre-orders of this game starting February 28th, 2023. 😁

[@isaiahmcclure8894]

This reminds me so much of Giftpia, the same developers as Chibi-Robo and Giftpia plays super closely to this game

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

great review, made me instantly want to play!

[@SwitchWatch]

Glad I could do that 😃

[@pacer1705]

The boy has not slept in 24 hours or more to complete the first playthrough in the real world and the second playthrough in the RPG world. No wonder he would collapse.

[@SwitchWatch]

He’s made of stronger stuff than me!

[@davidbuckley8127]

I'll be picking up moon

[@nicklarson6634]

"is this the first game to do this? I don't know." *Moves on with review* Beautiful. More people need to do this. More people need to accept that they don't know something, and admit they're not going to go through the steps of learning it. Instead of spouting some catchy nonsense and buzzwords. Easy sub.

[@SwitchWatch]

I'm the king of not knowing stuff haha

[@feIon]

some of the memorization or rhythm games you have to do are genuinely hard. really chill and beautiful game though. 100% worth the money

[@SwitchWatch]

Oh yeah copying the poem dude was pretty tough

[@delirantecuadros]

it seems to be a beatifull game, i'll play it for sure!

[@rubensantino9078]

Are there any enemies or bosses

[@808zhu]

Thought this was Juan's jam? 🤔 I'm glad you loved it. 😊

[@SwitchWatch]

I was on Windbound my brother 😃

[@RetroToonsOfficial]

Awesome

[@SwitchWatch]

Yep! 👍 😃

[@HatsuneMiku18]

I keep passing out and I got frustrated and stopped playing. Anyone have any tips?

[@SwitchWatch]

Don’t try to do too many things in 1 day. There’s no time limit on the game so you can take your time, little by little. Learn your limits on how far you can go each day and make sure you get back to bed in time

[@klg9549]

Do you think there are any chances of the deluxe edition being released in the west? I know the game itself will play in English, I just want to appreciate all the bonus materials to the fullest ... well, I guess that's another reason to learn Japanese ...

[@SwitchWatch]

The deluxe edition I don’t know. I’m sure there will be some kind of western release but I doubt it will be exactly the same as the Japanese one

[@klg9549]

@@SwitchWatch The game itself should play in English, I got the JP physical copy of Okami and it just plays in English right away. But yeah, looking at all those charming little notes, I doubt they're gonna translate all those ...

Just realized it's currently on the ps4 for sale as well 😅

[@teddym2808]

Wow I logged in as it's been a while, all excited to see the many switch watch reviews I surely missed, to barely find any in he last 2 months. All imports and sales bar a very few rare exceptions. Is this the direction your channel is permanently moving in? If so, what a shame. Oh well, had to ask.

[@SwitchWatch]

Not at all Teddy pal, this is the 6th review we’ve put out in 9 days. Obviously we can have our ups and downs due to real life work and family taking up and time, but we’re trying our best 👍

[@teddym2808]

@@SwitchWatch Ok.. 6 in just over a week but 10 total in 2 months.. so I am sure you get my point.. there's not a single game you are reviewing though that is taking my fancy and you see to have a really heavy emphasis on physical imports and sales...You seem to suddenly be extremely heavy non action game focused.. I dunno man.. there's no content for me at all since I've been away, except for maybe the crab fighting game LOL.. I haven't really been active here since about May though so I might go a bit further back and hopefully I'll find something.. cheers and I hope you are all staying safe.

[@LantanaLiz]

@@teddym2808 You're allowed to watch and read other reviews by other people.

Juan and James have both been on vacation during this time, plus personal stuff going on, we did have a slow couple of weeks where we didn't have much. We're getting back into gear though now buddy.

[@teddym2808]

@@LantanaLiz Oh here we go, it took 2 seconds for the youtube police to jump in. Switch watch was my favourite channel, and I am freely allowed to express if the content has changed and I am not enjoying the channel anymore. I am sure they are big boys and in fact I will go as far to say that they like me and me them as we have chatted for years, and they welcome opinion. Who said I didn't watch other channels condescending sarcastic bitch?

[@stephen5070]

This game reminds me of Undertale where you be nice to your enemies. On the positive note there are no nightmarish encounters in moon which I like. Looking at you Omega Flowey.

[@SwitchWatch]

I heard the creator of Undertale was inspired to some extent by this game.

[@derlonlon8689]

Where can you change the music?

Press X and go over the record player. You need to have collected some MDs though

[@derlonlon8689]

@@SwitchWatch yeah thx i forgot the menu butten existed since i never needed him

[@lem0ncrunch]

I feel like petscop got a lot of visual inspiration from this game lol

[@dbozgt]

I got the game yesterday I’m enjoying the story I just figure out you cannot do everything in one day just little bit at a time

[@SwitchWatch]

Yeah once you get that into your head and take your time it’s no trouble. It can be very relaxing

[@louisdellalucca8969]

Awesome review as always. But I hope you guys do a video on the Children of Morta DLC. the sales go to the Humane Society, something that hits home for alot of people

Toby Fox was the reason this came to the west, you know a game is good when Toby has faith in it.

Moon was the Undertale before Undertale

[@jhdkoopman2]

Dude, awful review. The Moon is clearly an 8.3, not enough waning!
