@App Well as far as I know from watching reviews and clips it contains all years in Hogwarts from 1 to 7.

Both games are on the cartridge and there are tons of collectables. After you go through story mode you can do a level select and explore freely.

It is actually quite nice for the fans.

I have a few Lego games, on the Switch in particular, it's Worlds and Jurassic World (I love that it contains all three original Jurassic Park movies.)

With Lego Worlds I always recommend turning off automatic save backups. Even on a new file it's gigabytes worth of save data!

@Eel You mean that you should just save manually when you want so you don't get those fat GBs taken?

@Zuljaras Yeah, I'm sure it's not like this everywhere, but at my house, uploading completely overtakes the bandwith until it's done uploading, so the result is snail-pace internet for anything else (if we do get internet at all!)

And when it gets into HD youtube video amounts of data, that could be hours.

I also disabled automatic backups for Minecraft for the same reason, although that one isn't quite as immediately space hungry as Lego Worlds.

@Eel Ahhhh you meant the cloud saves? I thought that it makes EXTRA GB on the SD card or the internal memory!

Oh well if you have the game there's nothing you can do about the space it takes on your SD card, besides deleting it of course.

Yes, I meant the cloud saves.

@Heavyarms55 Wow, sounds like you REALLY put a lot of work into all that, especially the Star Wars set pieces. I would have loved to see everything set up! Though I'm not sure if I would have appreciated it as much back then as I didn't know much about Star Wars and hadn't really seen the movies (IIRC you and I are roughly the same age); I'm a more recent fan thanks to TFA drawing me in. I definitely like the franchise but have a LOT of catching up to do lol. I need more time or less interests. XD

Heck, I probably would have liked the ninja stuff more as that would have been a bit closer to history and fantasy. I liked both since I was a kid, whereas I didn't get into science fiction much until late high school/early college.

While the Lego Mario stuff honestly looks cool, I also found the lack of normal sized figures a bit off-putting. The Lego NES set almost roped me in until I saw the price. I didn't want to spend that much on something that would only collect dust.

I am starting to think Pokemon Go is bugged for me. Like, every 10km egg I have had for weeks has been Feebas. I am so confused.

@Tyranexx Yeah I suspected we were around the same age. You definitely tend to get my references.

And I don't blame you on Star Wars. It's a gargantuan franchise. Only surpassed in pure amount of content by like, the collective DC or Marvel universes. You can dig into it for years and still be missing huge chunks.

Where's that Cloudpunk review? Patiently waiting

Ghost of a Tale has my interest, too. I wonder how it performs on the switch.

They're ripping off your painting @Zuljaras 😠😠😠(🤪)

@Heavyarms55 Feebas are ridiculously common in 10k eggs. I have a ton of candy from them and have hatched two shinies. There was a point in time where I was hurting to obtain a Milotic for research purposes, but I needn't have fretted it seems....

Oh boy. The DC and Marvel universes. I love aspects of both and slightly prefer the former. Until I started digging into the comics more I didn't know some characters even existed; most of my exposure started with the various animated shows and a few books back in the day. A few examples I missed back then were Hawk and Dove, Swamp Thing, Emma Frost, Vision, Deathstroke (though I knew him as Slade), and...Well, I could list these for awhile lol. I've usually been the most invested with the X-Men on one side and Batman and the Bat Family's Rogues Gallery on the other. So many interesting story arcs, one-shots, retcons....I suppose it's to be expected with how long these universes (and Star Wars) have been going.

@WoomyNNYes Haha, who could have thought that my generic forest could look like other creepy forests

Btw here is update of the Halloween Scarecrow I am currently doing.

@Zuljaras That looks awesome so far. Great job

What websites do you guys use for non-Nintendo news? I've finally decided to stop visiting IGN, though I might hit up their video reviews every now and again. Most of the Nintendo stuff they cover typically shows up here, so I'm good on that front.

I mostly stick with Nintendo systems due to time and franchise preference, but I do like to know about what else is out there.

I usually use Destructoid.

@Tyranexx The Switch is my only current/modern console. So, I don't seek non-nintendo news, really. I only use IGN for reviews and NVC<333 (their video's via youtube).

@Zuljaras So, is the scarecrow's background inspired by Crash Team Racing's track, Nina's Nightmare? I see a windmill.

@Eel So whatever happened to Anti, btw? Banned, or just disappeared? The timing coincidentally makes me wonder if he and Thanos finally got a room.

Today I had the new wasabi flavored doritos. Other than all the green food coloring, it does really taste like wasabi! My nose even hurt afterwards. Yum.

@Tyranexx I guess Feebas is the new Trapinch for 10km eggs. :/

And yeah, DC and Marvel have a much longer history than Star Wars and it really shows. I wonder if anyone alive has ever actually read all of DC or Marvel.

@NEStalgia he had a bit of a moment and a few users here retaliated.

Then he decided to take some time away from the site and requested to be banned.

Thanos.... I'm not sure. If he shared a reason to leave, I wasn't there to read it. It's perhaps a bit concerning if he just disappeared randomly.

I've heard of Destructoid and have been on it in passing, but I've never given it a proper look. Now might be the time. 🤔

@WoomyNNYes The Switch is also my only current console, though I'd dig into the PS ecosystem if the Switch and 3DS didn't still take up most of my gaming time. I'll still dig into IGN's videos on occasion, mainly their reviews. Never really got into NVC admittedly. It's a podcast, right?

@Vinny As someone who normally doesn't crave Doritos, I'd definitely try that kind!

@Heavyarms55 Yep. All the things I'd rather have out of a 10k - I still don't have an Axew - and a Feebas pops out half the time. The good thing is the second shiny I hatched has really good stats.

I'm sure there's probably someone out there who's read almost everything about each respective comic universe, though I'm unsure about everything in both. I'm sure if I dug enough, outside of really rare comics I could probably read just about whatever I wanted online. But there's so much that I'd likely have to dedicate years of my spare time just to touch everything related to Batman lol. I've managed to read a couple of classic one-shots in recent years, The Killing Joke and Batman: Year One.
