Its more Cyberpunk for me and Fantasy Life for me and my daughter. Im glad she likes to join me from time to time.
Diablo 3 and Dead Cells have taken a back seat for now. Trying to mark Dead Cells as complete but just cant seem to beat it. Ive had a couple of great runs, only to be thwarted at the very end. Ill pick it back up soon though.
@KayFiOS The Pokémon Company International enforcing bizzare mandates for no clear reason, presumably.
They also go out of their way to exclude most jingles/fanfares and (not applicable to FRLG) not show images for tracks which play during spoilery scenes, things Nintendo Music otherwise doesn't really care about.
Nascar 25 on ps5. It’s janky and incomplete af but I like to drive on the tracks before the irl race to get that extra dimension of racing entertainment.
@rvcolem1 my assumption is that these aren't on NSO because they will be compatible with Pokémon Home. NSO games having things like rewind and multiple save states would bring about opportunities for "cheating" in order to get Pokémon with more desirable stats, moves and abilities. These Pokémon would then be transferable to Home and in turn transferable to other games such as the upcoming Pokémon Champions, which is set to be the game used in the official Pokémon competitive scene. It's a whole can of worms that I suspect Nintendo and The Pokémon Company would just rather not deal with.
As usual I'd say that more than leaks in themselves (they can actually convince people on the fence to get games sooner rather than later) what's annoying is some putting them in hard to avoid spots like YouTube thumbnails etc. - luckily I don't particularly mind spoilers myself unless it's something major or even more so extensive footage, but I feel for those accidentally getting spoiled!
As I say over and over they should just sell the NSO classic games individually so you can play them with no subscription active. It would be so simple to go to the store page for the NSO download and it’ll show in dlc where you can purchase each game. Then when you attempt to launch the app without a sub it will give the error message then kick you to the games you bought and can play.
I'm playing Binky's Trash Service, Rayman Redemption, Gran Turismo 3, Tres-Bashers, Banjo, Mario Bros, Link's Awakening, Airframe Ultra demo (I'm loving the bouncy physics with jet moto futuristic bikes, and it seems locked at 90fps in handheld), Super Battle Golf (easily locks at 90 once I reduced resolution and settings, super fun!), Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh (thanks Time Extension for heads up about English patch!), Megaman in the Mushroon Kingdom, and a bunch of incredible mods for several games. I'm also still blown away by the River Master releases, mostly still listening to Angler's Dream. Enjoying videos of Gamer's Nexus, Macho Nacho Productions (the Zelda game and watch mod is amazing), and Nerrel's new video about art and remakes.
@JohnnyMind Thanks. I remember I had Link's Awakening back in 1995, but I never got to finish the game before I lost it. It's neat to be back at it, 31 years later, and I'm enjoying it so far. Reminds me of back then, but not enough to spoil it for myself by my past self (don't really remember much, so it's like a blind playthrough).
I'll continue building my new island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the Switch 2. I bought Under the Island and love it so far so i'll play that one too.
I'm eying another purchase on the e-Shop this weekend, i just don't know what game it will be just yet, but i'm sure i'll find something good to buy and play.
Happy gaming folks. I hope all of you will have a great weekend filled with all the things you wanna do.
Finished Mario & Luigi Brothership (god it was long). Borrowed The Thing Remastered from library and going to check it out. I have pre-ordered Fatal Frame 2 and RE Requiem of course is on my list but it's just too expensive right now. Really want to re-play XCX too with the S2 upgrade. Must purchase it first but money is tight.
I'm working my way throw FF7R and having a great time. I gotta finish it before Rebirth comes out.
I'm also heavily considering getting Kirby Air Riders. Every person I've heard talk about the game has something good to say about it, though I'm concerned I might not find enough to do if I'm playing solo.
With this being Zelda’s 40th anniversary, I’ll try to make meaningful progress in Tears of the Kingdom instead of the aimless wandering I’ve done in areas where enemies can easily one-shot me. It’s about time I get things going!
I still need to start playing my Virtual Boy accessory. I’m playing Splatoon 3 for Salmon Run as well as a run up Side Order because it’s also the 2nd anniversary of Side Order. I’ve still got more to do in Peach Showtime. I don’t need my sister’s borrowed copy anymore because I recently bought the game for half the price myself thanks to a digital sale on Amazon.
@AlanShore I don't get this obsession with the starting prices when you can officially - Nintendo themselves allow it at least so far - get the exact same product (you're not splitting also that unlike food etc.) by sharing a family subscription in the case of NSO, looking/waiting for discounts on games and so on...
@HalBailman Generally, I agree with your post. Regarding Power Tennis on the GameCube, however, you're overlooking the fact that Nintendo used to have a budget line. Player's Choice, and, later, Nintendo Selects. Yes, the GC was a relative failure, but their other, more successful consoles (except for the Switch) had the budget line as well.
@Neiltendo64 How about getting one version in French for you and the other one in English for your son? You'd pay twice for them, but at least you'd have both versions and so access to all the exclusive Pokémon by trading them assuming you have two Switches - luckily there are no limitations to it in the gen 3 games, the only downside being the names of the traded Pokémon as you can see here (and that luckily can be countered by giving them nicknames yourself)!
Both openings are great in general and personally nostalgic (especially FireRed for me as it's the game I had as a kid, my older sister had LeafGreen while we shared Blue when it comes to the originals) - so looking forward to replaying FireRed, but this time in Japanese for my channel!
@Filthy this is the crazy things. They could at least have bundled them all together. It other companies can manage to give us a launcher where we can pick the version we want to play them the pokemon company can do so too 😅
@garfreek I just started chapter 16. I'm working this weekend, but I've been playing in handheld every chance I get. It's hard to pull myself away from it. It's been awhile since I've felt this strongly about a new game.
Hate renting digital assets (music, movies, or games). Give me the option to buy the damn games. Nintendo could print money doing this and I doubt it would have any meaningful impact on NSO subscriptions…
Picked up cyberpunk for a very reasonable price runs amazingly well on switch 2 very impressive will also try and get a bit of street fighter 6 in if I have time
Why? it is not only for spec freaks, but to give people the oportunity to like a game, rather to let them spend 70,- (as example) then hate and downvote on internet. now we have to judge a game based in YT footage or screenshots.
it is not the comsumer a developer want.
futhermore i want nintendo to divide the sw1 section and sw2 section. there need to be a switch 2 shop, with a note and link that the sw1 version is compatible but with downgrade only or with upgrade.
The nintendo eshop is a mess imo.
@Raccoonius By the way, I've just seen your first comment here - happy birthday and I hope you enjoy the games you ordered (I've only played Link's Awakening DX among those, but I absolutely love it and I wish it will be the same for you, too)!
@JayJ I'm buying both. You'll benefit from being able to catch all of the available Pokémon via trading between the two. And you get both games for the price of a single cheap console game, it's a no-brainer.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Finished the game about an hour ago. There were some slower moments in the last few chapters but the final set of bosses was fun. I did most of the side content but the logs show that there's still more. I think I'm good. I'll play INTERmission but maybe a bit closer to June when Rebirth comes out.
Final Fantasy VII At the entrance to Shinra building. I'll play it up to the ending of Remake and leave it there for now.
Rhythm Paradise/Heaven Finished the game last week. 37 superbs, 14 perfects. I want to at least get all superbs.
The Messenger Started this morning. First couple of stages done. Movement is smooth. I like the extra jump from hitting stuff. Shopkeeper seems like a nice guy. Has fun stories to tell.
This weekend is all about Hyrule Warriors AoI for me. Pretty good game! At first I was sure the type of game wasn't for me, and I was about to sell it and get Mario Tennis instead lol. But after the "plot twist" (I already knew about it, but still), the next quest won me over. Now, with more tension and more playable characters, things are getting interesting!
I hope I can finish the game by the time Resident Evil 9 comes out. I already have the Generations Pack preordered! And I finally bought Trails in the Sky remake, it should be coming over by Wednesday, so I'm going to be busy lol. Good times!
@Raccoonius Ha ha indeed and I can't help it, so many games I'm interested in playing and/or replaying (the latter especially if I've never finished or completed them before) - that said, playing a single or few games at a time is also perfectly fine and has the advantage of letting you play them faster! @PinderSchloss It's worth mentioning that I have specific slots each day, in the morning when I wake up dedicated to the games I use to exercise, after dinner and before sleeping for the rest (and of course also the schedule of my YouTube channel, those curious about it can find the link in my profile here on Nintendo Life), and I play them for only around 1 or at most 2 hours each, that certainly helps to avoid it being exhausting - anyway, thank you and it's the perfect way for me as much as I appreciate the benefits of playing one or few games at a time as abovementioned!
Having acquired the replica Virtual Boy I'm hoping to play some more Galactic Pinball and 3D Tetris - took some getting used to the peculiar setup with lots of red and 3D effects (plus I already have a bad back before playing the thing) but these were both fun to play. Will try to dig into some of the other titles too, although I really want them to hurry up and release Zero Racers soon. Happy gaming all!
I'm at my boyfriends playing nurse joy for the weekend. So I'll probably play the Skyward sword I picked up cheap with a Loftwing two weeks ago.
I've been hating on this game because I hate fire and desert worlds...and that's 2/3 of the game. But let's play again and find some things to love about it!
Assassin's Creed Shadows Rolled credits at Level 55. Feel a bit burnt out to go for the platinum so I'll put this down for a bit and come back sometime later. Not as good as Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla IMO. B-Tier.
Euro Truck Simulator 2 Delivered an excavator to Jönköping. After 102 days my Ziggurat Spedition trucking empire has 43 trucks.
Everything Have reached the point where I'm just letting the game autoplay to mop up trophies so I guess I should move on. Interesting concept, average game. Could be more interesting in VR. B-Tier.
Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster Have acquired the airship and am doing some side quests to level up prior to progressing the story.
Hollow Knight Haven't picked this up in a few months so wandering around the Forgotten Crossroads to refamiliarise myself with the controls while grinding for geo to buy some more charms, mask shards, and vessel fragments. Bought the Gathering Swarm charm.
PowerWash Simulator VR Doing the second job in the back yard. Only playing for 30 mins at a stretch so its going to take some time to work through this.
The Outer Worlds Completed the main quests and all side quests in Emerald Vale.
After years of hearing positive rumors about Return of the Obra Din I’ve finally picked it up and started it for myself and it is truly engrossing!
Still wrapping up a campaign in Brigandine: Legend of Runersia as well.

@rvcolem1 my assumption is that these aren't on NSO because they will be compatible with Pokémon Home.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Finished the game about an hour ago. There were some slower moments in the last few chapters but the final set of bosses was fun. I did most of the side content but the logs show that there's still more. I think I'm good. I'll play INTERmission but maybe a bit closer to June when Rebirth comes out.
Final Fantasy VII
At the entrance to Shinra building. I'll play it up to the ending of Remake and leave it there for now.

I hope I can finish the game by the time Resident Evil 9 comes out. I already have the Generations Pack preordered! And I finally bought Trails in the Sky remake, it should be coming over by Wednesday, so I'm going to be busy lol. Good times!
