Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 28th)

First of all. I hope everyone will have a great weekend.
Enyoy it, game on!

For me not zo much of gaming my own store gets an massive update this weekend.

If I have time it will be spent on the following
Fire emblem
The ninja saviors
Ori and the blind forrest.

Game on!

Finished FE in the week so now I can get stuck in to Astral Chain. So what did I play last night?

More Rocket League and Slay the Spire. Naturally.

About 50% through Link’s Awakening and really enjoying myself. When I started playing/replaying a lot of the Zelda games this year, I thought there was going to be one that surpassed the others as my clear favorite, but that isn’t the case at all. Every entry offers its own unique take on the formula and feels just as well designed as the last.

Looking forward to stretching the limits of the chamber dungeons as well. It is pretty limited, but I’m pleased with some of the designs I was able to devise so far.

Smash ultimate still has me in a chokehold. I blame my backlog on this game. Might be returning to Astral Chain or revisit Mario Kart with my cousins, after the crash and burn that was Mario Kart Tour. Have a great weekend all 🙏🏾

I just started Xenoblade Chronicles 2!

Don't know how y'all got through Fire Emblem Three Houses so fast - I'm still at the beginning, practically. Admittedly, I'm splitting my game time between that, Celeste and Dragon Quest IV. DQIV stands up incredibly well today, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Squenix brings DQIV-VI to Switch as well. VII and VIII might be a little further away.

More Astral Chain, maybe I'll get around to Link's Awakening in a few weeks.

Rocket League

Forager for me. I bought this yesterday and have already put at least 5 hours in. Incredibly satisfying and quick gameplay loop.

With so much to play that's a tough question. I'll definitely be playing Grid Autosport, I absolutely love it. All the different disciplines give it so much variety, it even has a Demolition Derby. I think it may well be the best racing game I've ever played. I'll likely play some more SNES Online, 25 hours clocked already. I'm really tempted by Untitled Goose Game but I also want to buy the Amnesia Collection, Fight N Rage and Ninja Saviours. The sale on the 3x Konami Collections are also tempting me as is Dragons Quest 3. I'll probably end up buying them all.

Grid Autosport. Most satisfying racer in quite a while.

its crazy how many games I would like to play which just came out..or are going to in the next weeks...good nintendo times!!!

For now I am playing FE3H (2nd playthrough ) and DQ11 and links awakening

dragon quest 1. currently at max level, just have to go through the last dungeon now and beat the final boss

I'm nearing the end of Astral Chain so I'll try to finish that this weekend. If I manage to, I'll start Dragon Quest XI and Ori and the Blind Forest.

I just finished Link's Awakening this morning. I will start Dragon Quest XI this evening. This weekend is HOT!!!

Link's Awakening!

Happy gaming everyone!

No Mario Kart Tour? No old school Dragon Quest? What week was this list made?

Splitscreen Minecraft with my kids and Sayonara Wild Hearts again

I finished Astral Chain last weekend, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Was nice to have a bit of action after playing three Final Fantasies back to back. Not sure what to get stuck into next. Deciding between FFXII, FFVIII, Tales of Vesperia or picking up DQXI (after enjoying the demo) but I'm not sure I'm ready to go all in on another long game. I would check out Link's Awakening but I've just started Link Between Worlds on the 2DS XL.

And regardless, there will be more Pokemon Ultra Sun on the 2DS XL.

Some more Barry Bradford's Putt Panic Party for me!

Grid Autosport & Fifa for me!

Finishing up links awakening.
Mario kart tour too

I've been playing almost nothing but Celeste this week.

Picked up Bastion and Transistor yesterday, so I’m making a start with that. Also got into Smash again, but my skill level is far below average, so will need some training on that one

Due to some unexpected bills I had to cancel my Ni No Kuni preorder so perfect excuse to clear some of my backlog. Really enjoying Wargroove and NSMBWUD

I've just downloaded Home, on discount, so that

I’m finally just starting the final sector in SMT Strange Journey. It’s quite tricky so I’m proud I’ve made it this far.

Ori and the Blind Forest, been looking forward for this game for so long. So glad that it's finally on Switch.

Also downloaded Wargroove, gonna try this out. And also a bit of Animal Crossing: New Leaf on the 3DS.

I have a good chunk of Links Awakening done so would like to complete that, with some FIFA 20 on the side. I still have not started Astral Chain yet i have it over 2 weeks.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Dragon Quest XI S.

Code Vein on PS4. Some rough edges but a decent anime take on Dark Souls. Also picked up Sine Mora very cheaply on Switch. A very nice looking R-Type style game and a must if you like modern retro.

This week I will be mostly playing

Link’s Awakening NX (just Dampe left)
Smash Ultimate (Daemon X Machina spirits)

Not sure what next. £2 for Bastion is tempting, but I’ve also finally started to suffer joy-con drift so might need to get that fixed before I splash out.

Alternative next steps:
Breath of the Wild (440 seeds to go)
Kirby’s Power Paintbrush
Star Fox 2

Anyone care to decide for me?

@Krull VII is the one I'm most interested in seeing on Switch. As for how we finished Fire Emblem.. well, it has been two months. Even if you took 75 hours to beat it once, that's only a little over an hour a day.

@tendonerd Why would anyone want to play Mario Kart Tour? And while I agree about Dragon Quest, none of them are playing XI either so maybe they aren't fans.

@ViewtifulJotun NSMBUD is a solid game. People like to rag on it for being a 7 year old Wii U game, but it has a lot of solid and fun levels. And the post game offers some decent Mario challenge. Far more than most.

Still nothing Nintendo related, but I did buy Link's Awakening, Jedi Knight 2 and Dragon Quest III.

I'm still going through Persona 5. I just got to the part where everything's going to poo, which I'm pretty stoked about since the plot up until now has felt kind of disjointed in that every target up til now felt pretty much unrelated to the bigger picture or each other, sort of like standalone episodes in an anime.

As someone on the autistic spectrum, I must say I was pretty surprised with Futaba's character. When you get these kinds of characters in fiction, they're usually played exclusively for laughs because of their eccentricity or become a walking plot-device that can magically fix every issue because of their one-track mind. The latter trope is certainly present in Futaba, but it was incredibly refreshing to see a character like her actually work on improving her social condition while portraying the nasty set-backs that occasionally occurs when such people go out of their comfort zone, especially when separated from people they trust. In one way, it's extremely uncomfortable because I see myself in her uglier situations like whenever she has a sudden nervous breakdown despite her intial bravado, but on the other hand, it's pretty incredible that this kind of honest character depiction actually exists in mainstream media.

I will try to finish Link's Awakening, I'm on the final boss. Other than that I will play Dragon Quest XI that I picked up yesterday. And maybe some Tetris 99, as I bought the physical version last week.

I just finished Link's Awakening and now I don't know what to play next! I have a lot of games I'm interested coming throughout October, so part of me thinks I could just wait, but I actually have a lot of free time this weekend. No work and my girlfriend is working today and tomorrow. I'm catching up with friends today and I'll see my sister tomorrow, but I still probably have a solid 10-12 hours to kill between the two days combined and I wouldn't mind driving into something for at least a few of those.

Right now my backlog is including Valkyria Chronicles 4, Shining Resonance Refrain, Octopath Traveler, Nights of Azure II, Dragon Quest Builders and Undertale, as well as some other I know I definitely don't want to start right now. Still, I'm not sure which of those, if any, I want to dive into right now. I think the game I'm most interested in right now is probably Bloodstained, but I just read there's a very serious performance patch with a lot of QoL changes coming in early November to Switch and I'm definitely going to hold off then until the patch. No reason to suffer through input lag, low FPS and graphical issues when a fix is definitely coming.

Ahhh.. being a gamer used to be so much simpler in the late 80s/early 90s. What games did we play during the weekend? Whatever the hell we could get our hands on!

I nabbed the 8th instrument in LA the other night, so I suppose I’ll finish my first play of that this morning. Then probably work on some Goose, with FE rounding out the gaming day.

Managed to complete Link's Awakening in under a week, so now I've finished mopping up my tears i'll go back to Astral Chain with intermittent sessions with that damn goose...

Started Ni no Kuni yesterday. Amazing game! I was really blown away. Maybe one of my favourites ever.
Jedi Outcast. Love it. Just the way it was back then, only without keyboard and mouse.
I am already in the future though, waiting for xenoblade chronicles remake. Played it on the 3ds and loved it. Didn't finish it. Will do that on the switch.
Thinking of buying Link's Awakening but on the fence still. How long is the game anyway?
After Ni no Kuni comes Dragon Quest XI, then xenoblade chronicles 2. I believe with these three games I could easily be busy till early to mid next year, just in time for jedi academy, xenoblade chronicles and animal crossing. Will keep an eye on other games too, but my general criterium is that the game is longer than 15 hours.

There is a truly incredible Tim Rogers review of Dragon Quest 11 that talks about how culturally in Japan, many people play Dragon Quest games as bed time stories for an hour a night on week nights. I’ve decided that is how I will play that game. Slowly and methodically with no pressure. I began the demo like that and I’ll continue to do that until it’s done!

But my main game this weekend should be to finish Link’s Awakening, and then just binge the last game on the Spyro Collection!! Happy weekend!

Kamiko and Doom!

Finished links awakening earlier in the week but going to go back for some fishing and secret hunting - great game.

I’ve also just started Ni No Kuni which seems amazing and has a great intro.

Also bought sonic mania for some respite from epic Rpg’s

Got Dragon Quest XI yesterday. So I'll play that when I can. Got school stuff in the way so it'll probably be less than I'd like.

@Deltath yeah, I never had a wii U so for me it's brand new and perfect 2D mario. Hoping they'll get round to releasing 3D World on Switch too as I hear good thongs about that too.

This weekend I plan to try to make progress in Link’s Awakening. It was left to the side this week because I made my final push to finish Borderlands 3. Very disappointed in the story, the gameplay is great. I also hope to hop back into Dragon Quest 11. I loved the demo and love the fact I can start right where I finished it. Have a great weekend everyone!

I finished Darksiders one last night. Gonna play Link to the past on SNES online, and about to start Sniper elite 2.

GRID Autosport and Three Houses for me. The hard mode of Three Houses seems way better than the normal mode, which was kinda too easy for me.

Downloaded Horizon chase turbo dlc with gold points so will be playing that in between DQXI. But I have a busy weekend so not much gaming time unless MTG pre release counts

Grid Autosport has me entertained, it feels great to play. I'm downloading Dragon Quest XI S as I type so that will be getting rinsed for quite a while methinks as I loved the demo...my first JRPG since Grandia II on the Dreamcast many moons ago. I'll most likely throw on Doom again to see how this new patch changes the game.

Downloaded Untitled Goose Game last night, so going to be playing that and maybe try to squeeze in some Team Sonic Racing, both on Switch. Started playing The Smurfs on 3DS (have it being a fan of the cartoon series) earlier in the week, going to continue that.

I’ve got one more mission to finish the Blue Lions leg of Three Houses and one last dungeon in Link’s Awakening. Here’s hoping I’ll find time to wrap those up.

Finally finished Luigi's Mansion 2 this morning. Wanted to complete it before the sequel hits. Also played some Ace Attorney Trilogy (on the fourth case of the first game) on the 3DS today, and Fire Emblem Three Houses. Just want to play that for the rest of the weekend as I'm coming to the end (71 hours in so far).

Almost £6 in gold points - so it's Bastion and Transistor for me, which I might back up with a purchase of Celeste. Otherwise, I've been really enjoying BOTW Season Pass content. Not to mention Link's Awakening and Astral Chain in my backlog too. Need more time!

Well... bought couple games with the new Sale.
Bastion and Transistor for just €5 total is a steal. So had to get them both.
Also bought Moonlighter with 50% off.

But... guess I probably end up playing Borderlands 3 in PS4 instead.

Resident Evil Revelations: Raid mode.
-no money for Link's Awakening so gotta play some old stuff.

Civilization of course, with a sprinkling of Spyro the Dragon.

Zelda, outrun and virtua racing. All excellent

I'm playing Daemon X Machina and really enjoying it. Online + Framerate + Graphics + Gameplay + Mech + Anime + Achievements = awesome.

And Astral Chain any achievements.

Just ori and finally cracking open links awakening today! I'm so excited!

Still playing Deadly Premonition. Really enjoying it. Never heard of it before until the Direct so I’m happy it got revived otherwise I’d have missed such an interesting game.

Looking to get as far as I can in FE. I plan to finally beat that and Astral Chain before I start Dragon Quest 11

I'll mostly be playing the game of Busy Weekend which unfortunately won't leave much time for other games. I do hope to sprinkle in a little Pokemon Go here and there. I also should have some downtime this evening and will likely play more Mega Man Battle Network 2 then.

Happy gaming!

Family first😍.
Mainly i will be playing some long playthrough in Dragon quest xis echoes of an elusive age, and Darksiders 2 deathinitive edition if I'm tired from the XIS.
May play some indies as well for good measures because there are so many gem in all these indie games that I'm realizing as of late..

Bioshock for me this weekend

Links awakening and Splatoon 2 of course!

I've been light on skrilla this week, so I'll be sticking chiefly to some SNES games; currently working on Kirby's Dream Land 3. I completed Fire Emblem earlier this week and there's a huge RPG-shaped hole in my life at the moment, so even though I don't really enjoy the series, I might download the Dragon Quest XI demo anyway as I'm given to understand it's huge.

So many great games came out this week and the last that I don't know what to do. I think I'll just push through FFVIII. I hate to leave a game unfinished.

I'm hoping to finish up Link's Awakening, it's been an enjoyable (and cute) experience so far. Outside of that, I'll probably dedicate some time to either Spyro Reignited Trilogy, or the first Aero the Acro-Bat game.

1. Doom 2016
2. Ori and the Blind Forest
3. Super Metroid from SNES Online

So many games, so little time. DQ11 probably. Also some Star Wars, MUA3, Tetris 99...

I’ll be playing Minecraft, (because today is Minecon Live) My brother is getting undertake on physical, which we both haven’t actually played, and probably a small amount of paladins to practice for Overwatch.

Resident Evil 2 (N64) - Making my way around the sewer with the lovely Ada Wong.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified (Vita) - Mostly TDM with some friends.

Asphalt 5 (Windows Phone) - In the home stretch now.

Zoo Tycoon Friends (Windows Store) - Got me a lion!

Since I only play handhelds, I'm stuck playing the 3DS since Switch Lite is a home console without television output. Look, quit arguing with me, Wikipedia says Switch is a home console only meant to replace the failed Wii U, which is why it came out when Wii U was only a couple years old, and not the handheld line, the 3DS. Since Switch Lite is a Switch, that makes it a home console, and they also say 3DS's successor is NOT Switch Lite, thus Switch Lite is a home console! I only play handhelds now, so when the next handheld comes out, I'll get it and play something, but until then, I guess I'll play some New Leaf, some 3D Land, all the "new" games they've released for their handhelds.

I finished Link’s Awakening last night, and although I’m working this weekend and will be busy, I’m going to try and dive into Dragon Quest XI S.

Have a good weekend, everybody.

@gamefreak77 Nothing you said makes any sense whatsoever. It sounds like you’re making things difficult for yourself instead of just enjoying life/gaming. But to each their own, I guess? Lol.

Zelda:LA, i start play from yesterday

Got my SNES Online controller in the mail last night and tested on a bunch of games. Works great with Contra, Castlevania, Megaman, Streetfighter, NES, and SNES online. Played through over half of Super Mario World and got through all of Star Road and Special. Going to be enjoying some great retro gaming with this.
Probably also play some Fallout New Vegas on Xbox One for the umpteenth time as well as walking the local park to catch the newest gen in Pokemon Go with the wife. We'll also watch some scary movies. Fall has put me in a mood for horror and candy. Might make it out to the theater for Downton Abbey the movie.

Ooh there is so much out this month! just got done beting Zelda yesterday and have started up Marenian Tavern Story: Patty and the Hungry God (budget title but still great) Wanted A relaxing little RPG sim to sink my teeth into and it fits the bill just nicely

I’ve been slowly but surely getting excited about Pokémon Sword and Shield so this weekend i’m revisiting Kalos and Alola with a short detour to Unova after stopping by my Pokémon Bank to make a withdrawal then hitting up Pokémon Y and Pokémon Moon as well as Pokémon White. Anyone want to boost up their Friend Safari add me😃

Am I the only one still playing Fire Emblem? I'm almost halfway through my 2nd playthrough (this time with Blue Lions)

I'm deep in a Civ 6 hole, but I might play some Link's Awakening and Astral Chain too.

Mario Kart Tour!
and Mario Kart 7

Continuing Link’s Awakening this week. Also gonna play some good old Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater on PS1.

@gaga64 I'd say Kirby Power Paintbrush, as long as you're referring to the DS version and not the Wii U one. I am quite a Kirby fan though.

I’ll be playing Dragon Quest. Hours and hours of Dragon Quest and nothing else. Probably won’t even touch another game until Luigi’s mansion. I’m am soo excited to finally get to play Dragon Quest.

I finally got to buying Astral Chain a few days ago, and I’m nuts about it. I don’t remember the last time I was screaming “Woooo!” During the gameplay of a game. May have to play it a bit longer before going for Untitled Goose Game, Giga Wrecker, and River City Girls

Dragon Quest XI, maybe not the most original pick but holy smokes it's good, like really, REALLY good. If it keeps being as good as it has been for the ~15 hours I've spent on it then it has to be the best RPG I've played for quite some time and an easy game of the year for me.

I've been ill all week, not sure whether I'll get any gaming in but handheld games that are easy to pick up and put down might be best. Maybe Pokémon Moon or Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies.

F1 2019 (F1 Russian GP this weekend 🏎)
FiFA
Borderlands 3
Fire Emblem

@Krull You've got my hopes up when you mentioned more Dragon Quest games coming to Switch. I really want to play DQ5.

@Donutsavant Yeah I really like that Tim Rogers video essay as well. I’m not even a fan of the series but I like his account of the games and what they mean to him.

@DenDen Thank you, the very same to you!

@wazlon Here's hoping you'll be able to get a good rest. Get well soon!

The usual ACNL dailies/weeklies, plus Scribblenauts Unlimited (3DS), and Super Kirby Clash are set in stone. Otherwise... there might be some Minecraft (Switch), and once I'm done with Scribblenauts I'll either finish Pokémon Alpha Sapphire or Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn.

Have a nice weekend, everyone, and happy gaming!

Why in the world is Ori and the Blind Forest not an option?? 😯
Everyone who owns a Switch should be playing that game right now.

Grid Autosport with cube controller ( for analog triggers). Very glad I got a Mayflash cube adapter for this.
Splatoon 2
Spyro Trilogy

Untitle Goose Game
Blasphemous
Dragon Quest XI S demo
Ni no Kuni 2

Links Awakening and I’ll probably check out DOOM (1993) since it has had an update. Have enough Gold Points for DOOM 3 and seriously considering it... anything else anyone would recommend, around £10 on the eShop? Have a nice weekend everyone.

Unfortunately I've been playing through Contra Rogue Corps for review, and it's just as dreadful as everyone says. It's horrendous in every conceivable way, and it's also among the ugliest games ever made for Switch - an impressive feat indeed.

Fighting through the non-inversion hate of Switch's JEDI OUTCAST port by relying on motion controls. Yep, that will be my weekend.

@wazlon yeah, I was thinking of the DS one. I’ve got both sitting in my backlog though, and am also weighing up Tilt n Tumble.

@KarateLuigi Thank you, happy gaming and enjoy your weekend.

I just got DQ11 S and just finished Astral Chain, but Breath of the wild has pulled me back in, never got round to DLC so I'm gonna take a stab at that, it's such a beautiful game and it's got it's hooks into me again, may also play some Grid as well, been using analog stick acceleration and while it takes some getting used to I think it works better than the triggers. Well that's my weekend happy gaming folks

@gaga64 The DS one is short but sweet and one of my favourite DS games. I haven't played Tilt n Tumble for ages, it was so cool at the time when motion controls were pretty much unheard of. There's videos out there of people playing Tilt n Tumble with a Gamecube + Gameboy Player .

@gamefreak77 I don't really argue to change anyone's mind here, but I do wish we got a new "real handheld." And I don't say that because I think the Switch it too big (although it kind of is). What I loved about the DS and 3DS where that their games were distinctly different from their console cousins. While the consoles got a lot of 3D action games that used some combination of sticks, buttons and motion controls, the hand held got a lot of text heavy, touchscreen input games that were more about stories, puzzles, turn based gameplay, etc. Now there's nothing stopping anyone from making games like that for the Switch (although they clearly avoid making games that REQUIRE touch input) but they're the minority and often rereleases.

But to the original topic; I'm playing mostly Daemon X Machina and Catherine Full Bodied.

Definitely some more Awakening of the Link variety. Fight n Rage on Steam, because money doesnt grow on trees sadly. One of the many Dragon Quests now on Switch. Probably rounded out by some Siege or Borderlands 3. Maybe some raid mode in Revelations 2 also. Cant wait to snatch Grid, and Sniper Elite next week.

Links Awakening and Super Mario Party?

@shinesprites Firstly--the switch lite is fantastic. It replaced my normal switch but is so comfortable and solid that I will never go back.

The Switch V2 is fantastic. I can put it in the dock and play on the big screen with my new SNES controller that came in the mail yesterday.

LOL, I kid. Enjoy the Switch Lite.

Playing DQ XI S. Was about 10 minutes in then my right joy con stopped working. 2 months old... no idea. So I put them back onto the Switch and it worked fine. Then removed them from the Switch again, dead. Shut it down came back an hour later, all is fine. Battery was charged, yes.

Finished off Astral Chain about a week ago. Is there any merit to finishing the cases that Olive gives you? I love the combat in game, but I actually got kinda tired of just going in an destroying chimera. The mix of gameplay in the story playthrough was much more enjoyable. I will go back one day to try and 100% cases i'm sure.
But what I really wanted to comment about, this being my first comment, is that people should play Dead by Daylight! Its actually so good. I'm also really feeling the October mood and just want to fill the month with spooks and horror as much as possible. The game doesn't look pretty, but the gameplay loop is addicting. Both that and Ni No Kuni showed up yesterday, and I thought Ni No Kuni would be a great break for when the horror is too much, but I just didn't stop playing Dead by Daylight last night. I also just don't want to see servers die and not have anyone populate them. So far not a problem finding a match. Couple times had to quit out cause waited forever to have a killer for the match. Anyway Dead by Daylight is really fun and I highly recommend, and just haven't seen anyone talking about it here.

Got Untitled Goose Game yesterday, already completed most of it.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN!

HONK*HONK

Dragon Quest 11 and a little bit of Ori.

Link's Awakening for me!

I will be playing LOZ LA mostly. Still working on Blasphemous. Trying to get through Castle Crashers (wonderfully cute game) Might get into Dragon Quest 1, 2, or 3. And as always I will be playing PvP Dark Souls. Have a good weekend folks.

Celeste, Fire Emblem 3 houses, Super Tennis, Super Mario Kart, and Swords & Soldiers II.

Almost bought Dragon Quest XI but figured I better work through some backlog before I treat myself to that.

probably some three houses

dragon quests XI S and links awakening.

This weekend I am playing Daemon X Machina Link’s Awakening Puzzles and Dragons Radar that I downloaded from the Japan App Store on my iPhone and been watching some PAD Champions Cup 2019 on YT. I am anticipating Puzzles and Dragons Gold for the Switch so I made a Japan eShop account so I can try out the Japanese release while waiting for the English release. I played Puzzles and Dragons Z Super Mario Bros Edition onthe 3DS and liked it and I also tried the main PAD on iPhone and liked that too but I’m really into the Japan PAD Radar very much. I want to get into eSports for that!

@gamefreak77 i can see you're a troll.. but if that makes you feel good be our guest.

Fire Emblem TH

As of typing, have now finished my second playthrough of Link's Awakening 100% on Hero Mode with no deaths including Dampe's chamber dungeons (worst part of the game for me). It was fun to finally finish it as I never finished DX on the virtual console.

Split between starting Astral Chain, starting Catherine, or going back to Three Houses to resume the third route (190 hours in, still in first half of Golden Deer).

Minecraft all weekend. My daughter loves visiting my cows.

Maybe some Vertical Drop Heroes HD. Haven’t played that in a while.

@gaga64 That price is very good for Bastion! I bought it on sale for $10 a while back and enjoyed the game. That price is a steal!

I’ll be finishing up Link’s Awakening- I have the egg left. I’ve never played the original but the remake is good! Once I finish that up I’ll be starting the Goose game and then Ori. Ideally I’d get those tied up before Witcher comes out.

Rocket League 2XP weekend.

wound up playing links awakening and splatoon 2. Links awakening is ok

I can't get enough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, so I'm replaying that for the fifth time (although I am getting a bit tired out after 200 hours, so this may be my last playthrough for a while.)
After investing in a Switch Lite, I decided to put the d-pad to good use and play through Super Mario World. I have some games in my backlog I revisited as well, mainly Wargroove.

Shakedown: Hawaii just made it on to my 3DS and I'm having a blast

@San_D How are you finding GRID? I was tempted to get it and although I do own a cube controller I dont own the adaptor and dont really fancy having to buy one or use a wired pad. Have you played it with the pro controller at all? My worry is that the precision and control will all be lost without analogue triggers.

A bit of LOZ:LA and DQ for me this weekend with some MK11 thrown in to the mix if the new season finally drops.

@Kidfunkadelic83 GRID is great, but the controls are complicated no doubt. I don't have the Gamecube controller but tried quite extensively with joycons and Pro. The setups I used were:
1. Left analogue to steer, ZL-ZR to brake-accelerate - okayish control. Somewhat awkward.
2. Analogue sticks to steer and accelerate - this setup makes clear why people demand for analogue triggers. While I felt that the control over the car's acceleration is definitely better, using two analogue sticks is a pain, and often I would nudge the left one when I needed to nudge the right.
3. D-pad to steer, A/B to accelerate/brake - this is the one I'm using right now. Although it may sound pedestrian and stupid, but this one suits me the best, and I'm learning fast with this setup.

In summary, I'd suggest get that adapter if you can and are serious about playing this. Otherwise, it might be quite challenging (in a wrong way).

Still working through Hyrule Warriors - finally got all badges just the maps, challenges and spiders to go...
Have bought Wargroove and Stardew valley in the sale but putting off starting them.

@San_D appreciate the in depth reply. I just feel that I shouldn't have to buy an adaptor and play with an old wired controller but hey, that's Nintendo's fault. Hopefully at some point someone will bring out a good 3rd party pad with analogue triggers.

played smash so I can get those four new spirits. will probably play either Mario kart 8 dx, super Mario world or link's awakening.

Vader Immortal episode 2. Now begins the wait for episode 3.

Sadly my Switch is being sent off for a repair on Monday but I've used this weekend to finally get round to finishing Captain Toad and play some Mario Maker 2. I nearly bought Link's Awakening on Friday but I'll wait till I have my Switch back before purchasing it.

Been playing dragon quest XI every free moment this weekend since I got it on Friday.
Tried to start a second playthrough on Fire Emblem but DQXI sucked me back. Really awesome game, my first experience with a dragon quest game.

Still sucking at most of Grid, but the open wheel seemed more manageable and then I somehow ended up finally scoring 1st in the driver and team ranks for a Street event. Several weeks of Grid 2 hadn't been in vain, I guess.😆 On the other hand, qualifications and time attacks - and even drift events! - still leave me dead last.

Otherwise? Continuing to work through Diabolical Box, trying some Sword trials in BotW (although roguelike gameplay is something I have yet to get used to in a game like this) and overduly checking out some of the newer Switch purchases I somehow neglected even despite downloading them... And impulse sale grabs still bring surprises - for instance, I deemed Ninjin a standard beat'em up, but it has turned out to add a good dose runner genre into the mix. Koloro uses a constant motion mechanic as well (you only stop when hitting an obstacle, and only leaping off that obstacle can make you move in the other direction), standing out even from the abundance of tricky room-based platformers on Switch.

And from what I've played the other day... what was the drama around Troll and I, again? Eh, this is a fan zone, forget I asked.

I finally obtained Nintendo Switch Online. Been playing Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. Excellent games that hold up well due to their game design and controls.

Where is ssbu
