I'd pick this up for $30. $50 is way too much, even though I love the game.
I hope those that have never played it get to enjoy it, though!

Go Vacation (Switch) |OT| Wii Would Like to Play, Again
- Thread starter Deleted member 26156
- Start date
Video is in Traditional Chinese, so the creator is probably from Taiwan or Hong Kong, game is in Japanese.
So colorful, I like it!
The screenshots on the eshop page doesn't look that good though, lol.
Apologies. I thought it might not be Japanese Speaking, but knew the game was.
We need a port of the pseudo-sequel then!
The video did not look good on the switch news page the other day. I'll wait until this is 20 dollars or less. I was expecting more improvements for 50 bucks
I don't understand the hate against this game. Perfect for kids and families, I think the price is enough to justify all the contents (and replayable) each mini-games offers, plus it's like a mini-open world, so there's exploration and probably a ton of side activities to do. Is that more the graphical fidelity that you guys are upset about?
I seem to recall there was split screen exploring in the Wii version. So, one person could say explore the winter sports area while another could explore the coastal resort, and if anybody picked a mini game to play everybody jumped to that location.
I believe Daan's doing the review so I'm not sure exactly! I think it may have actually lift already but his review isn't quite ready yet
I'm looking forward to this! I never got the chance to play this on the Wii, but it looks like fun to mess around in.
NintendoLife have just put up their review of the game.

Looking at the fact the sideway Joy-Con isn't present at the controller synch screen, I believe you're right. I'll add that to the OP.
EDIT: With reviews now apparently.

One positive, one... not so much.

Port + some new modes.
Well, you can say it's a remaster given the extra things added.
Haha, the key was to not let the hype here cloud your judgment. The original Wii game has a 64 metacritic, but some of the opinions here would make you think it's an overlooked gem. I think if you go in expecting a competent mini game collection that offers up so much content that at least some of it is decent, you'll be fine. But this isn't some misunderstood masterpiece. There's a lot of video of the Wii version on YouTube, it will let you know pretty quickly what you're working with.
Yeah, I am getting the game because I always thought this and Fishing Resort would be somewhat fun when I had a Wii/Wii U like 5 years ago.
But Fishing Resort never came in the U.K. and Go Vacation is hard to come by. So the chance to finally play one is fine by me.
It may be a case of "Never Meet Your Heroes", but I ain't bothered haha.
GameXplain reviewed the game (Nintendaan).
He says it is still fun to him, but hates how the game forces a bad progression on you with bland levels before you get to more enjoyable versions of the game.
Score: Like-A-Lot.
I wonder how much of the the initial levels of games others played.
Why do I get the feeling that the person who wrote this completely missed the point? It's not supposed to be Dark Souls.
You can jump to the open world in multiplayer right from the start
For those that have it.... is the game fun? Reviews are not good but I want to have fun with the family.
It wouldn't make sense to support handheld mode for this game. It's a party game meant for local multiplayer, thus TV and Tabletop mode are the only modes that make sense.
There is some very little motion controls in the game (shaking the controlleur to do some tricks,aiming vertically in the water gun battle mini game,etc),but you can remove it.
The weird thing is that you can remove it in the activities menu,not in the open world section (or i didn't find it).
The interface is kinda weird yeah.Also the camera is moved by using the L button and the LEFT stick.(probaly because you can play with one joy con,but it's the same,even if you're using a pro controlleurr.No right stick camera.And you can't remap the buttons.)

"Strangely, this is a multiplayer sports game that probably suits those looking for decent single-player exploration the most."
From my experience with the Wii version....yes.
Think of it like how Gamespot gave Mario Kart 64 a review score of 6.4
Reviews rarely correlate with value. That being said, I am not double dipping at this price.

Has anyone plugged in the Wii Balance Board to see if it is supported?
Isn't this entirely wireless and would require being able to sync to the Switch?
I.....I dont remember. Its in my closet, havent used it in years.

I think you want to see the "New Features" section of the OT.
Only if you want to play through Local Wireless. You can play with up to 4 players on one screen.
I've kinda been looking for something like this as a good party game since my family were all really interested in the Wii back in the day but never actually tried it. Am a bit worried about the quantity over quality statements I see tho so might sit it out until the video reviews and let's plays roll out.
In case people want more impressions, here are some Threads from Reddit:
Just bought Go Vacation and I'm having a blast so far despite how dated some people say it is.
Go Vacation - Thank You Namco
Also, one of the gripes I had was with how Volleyball Automoved you in the Starter Level...but apparently other times you play it you can move yourself!

Some people are mentioning that Lightsaber battles are in .... but the GameXplain video said that it and dancing (two of the "wiimotion plus exclusives" from the first game) were out ?
I don't know who to believe anymore ><
Protip for this game : don't take the starter level as the basis for ANYTHING.
My favorite example is the diving minigame.
The starter one is literally coming close to 4 turtles and pressing A to give them a pet and it ends.
Actual activity screen diving is Endless fucking Ocean. You have a few minutes of ar that you can level up both you swiming (to beat strong currents) and your air (to stay more time), you can take pics of fish to know their species name, you have lots of lakes/seas to explore ... it is INSANE how much more complex it is.
