You missed the part where he said he wanted a physical release, didn't you.
Oh, looks like I've misunderstood him. He was responding to Seven Force.

Animal Crossing doesn't count as a "comfort food" game. It barely counts as a game!

Why clean my room in Animal Crossing when I can just do it IRL?

I'm not a particular fan of Animal Crossing, but I won't hate on people who like it.

I'm inclined to agree with Beef. I already have bills, responsibilities and other shit to take care of IRL. Last thing I want to do is play a game with all of that.

If anyone's curious, I purchased that Intec Gamecube monitor and it should arrive in a few days and I can post impressions. What's interesting about it is that it's a monitor, thus meaning higher quality than a TV. (that and it's smaller)
I also found out you can use it to play any composite cable console, which is pretty neat. I can just set it on my desk for N64 and GC games.

Animal Crossing is one of the worst franchises in gaming

That's what he looks like for 3 weeks of the month.
Junk Food:
Kirby Super Star - Game that I know like the back of my hand, etc etc. Still a joy to play no matter how many times I go through the whole thing.
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War - One of my favorite arcade-style console games for sure. It's short "length" guarantees that I can blow through the whole thing in a day, while it's still packed with content and alternate paths mean I can go for a different route every time. Plus kickass music.
Devil May Cry 3 - NOW YOU'VE REALLY CROSSED THE LINE
YOUR HATE FOR ME IS DIVINE
MY LOVE YEARNS FOR YOUR SUFFER
ON YOUR GRAVE LURKS MY PROSPER
Mega Man X/Mega Man 1 - Polar opposites in difficulty really, but I love 'em both to death. It's Mega Man, do I need to say more.
Prime Rib Dinner with the best side dish:
Brave Fencer Musashi - GOTY every year since release. Best music, best game, best everything. Every year that the PS1 classic isn't on NA PSN is a year that my disdain for SE goes up.

Can't believe I didn't mention Super Star...or freaking DKC2 for that matter...both of those games are incredibly relaxing for me, especially Super Star...that game is so fun and relaxing. The charming music doesn't hurt either...

I knew that I'd get awesome answers out of this thread! I was thinking of making a thread for it, but I didn't think I'd get the type of answers I'd wanted (ie: it'd eventually turn into a list thread). Thank you so much, everyone. I mean that. I appreciate your effort a lot!
And I'm not much of an Animal Crossing fan, myself. I played the first one and that was enough for me.
But definitely Columns/Tetris would be really good picks too.
Heck, Panel de Pon too.
I wish there were more tactile games like this given this answer now.
Oh, fuck you, Capcom. That means I'm not getting AA5, then. I'd really wanted it, too. I really don't want to buy digital games for the 3DS at all anymore. Not until there's a dang account system or when Nintendo learns how online services are supposed to work.
It's just like how it's weird that there's no online for NSMBU or Nintendo Land, which is complete bs to me. I'm old. My friends are spread around the world now, and I've come to make friends online with whom I'd love to play a game one day. It's not like I can invite them over to my place to come play a round of NSMBU or something any time I want. Ridiculous.
Think, Nintendo. For the love of pizza, think!
Considering that globalization is more of a thing now than it was in the 1990s, I really have to question what their moti... I know it's basically coming down to their bottom line and their tracking for purchasing habits per region. But lordy, I feel like they've taken a huge step back.

And it feels so damn good to slash shit up so elegantly while listening to this. Hahahaha!
I was thinking of putting Tetris Battle Gaiden or Tetris DS for mine, but then I realized how much time I put into Columns/Super Columns over the years on both the Genesis and the Game Gear, so I came at a crossroads here.

I like this answer a lot, just because it seems like you release a lot of tension both mentally and physically with the added effect of the bongos. It's like your channeling your stress or your anger or your upset into something neat and productive.

I look at some of my Japanese GB/GBC and GBA games and just shake my head. Like, Nintendo had this philosophy with the Game Boy where you could go into any country with your Game Boy and buy a game from that country because of the GB's portability.

Digital only is really the worst. Somehow it's like they did it because Nintendo can't keep anything stocked for the 3DS!

Perhaps but people shouldn't have to be forced to deal with Nintendo's screwed up account system just to enjoy a game they love.

We can just pretend T&T was the end of the series. There were never gonna top that final case, anyway *spoilers*
I don't owe Capcom my money. I'd like to think that the suits at Capcom are able to discern reasons why the game doesn't sell, but then again, this is the same Capcom that said the game that had it's sales expectations harshly cut 3 times has solid sales.
Capcom. They're willing to release an expansion to game with no fanfare behind it as a physical game, try to pass off a 3DS up-port as a new major game for them, and throw their older games under a bus to try to make the latest one look more appealing.

Why would I owe Capcom anything for their stupid business decisions? Video games are not a charity. I shouldn't feel obligated to buy something because I'm hoping that the next game will come out here. Is the marketing there? Is the consumer base large enough for the game to be profitable enough on that digital platform? Will they expect the first party to assist in making it known that the game exists on that digital platform? I think Capcom thinks releasing AA digitally would save them money (no overshipping, no cost to print the game and release it physically), and it would spare them a gamble in terms of losing money on the product, but considering the nature of the Nintendo's eShop service, well...
Like tigger and JC said, Nintendo's asinine and backwards digital purchasing systems/lack of a decent account system are the major deterrent here. I wouldn't have much of an issue with buying it digitally if the game weren't locked to the console.

I'm probably going to just get it anyway, Stockholm's Syndrome and all that, I guess :/

It's not even Nintendo's questionable online policies for me, I just don't like paying full retail price for digital games. I'd be exactly the same if it was a Vita game. It may as well not be localised at all for all it's worth to me as a digital-only release.
Listening to Gyakuten Meets Jazz Soul to ease the pain.

I don't think that's a very good way of going about it. Not buying the game in order to prove the point against a company as backwards as Capcom would send the message that NA and the the world outside of Japan doesn't care about the series anymore. It's a sucky situation, but hey.
And in regards to the pricing, Sven dropped a hint about special pricing, so maybe it being a digital release significantly lowers the MSRP.

Special pricing might also not mean much of anything, just a way to soften the blow of it being digital only.

When Code of Princess had its digital only release here in Australia it was $50 which, while a good bit below the $69.95 RRP of 3DS games, wasn't that much cheaper than what stores usually have games for in the first week.
Even if AA5 hits that kind of price point, it's more than I want to pay for a digital game. If they hit, like, $30 I'd be okay with the whole thing,, but there's no way they're going to be anywhere near that price.
