Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

XC2 (540 hours) and Splatoon 2 (320 hours) are the only really high ones and the only known game I could see catching up to either is Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition given there's still a lot left to do (completing adventure maps, getting the Legend mode heart pieces/containers and hard skulltulas. challenge mode, etc.).

Age of Calamity looks like it's more focused due to the canon nature of being a BotW prequel but will have a lot less content especially as I can't think of how Koei Tecmo would fit in real DLC (seems more likely to be stuff like buy a sword for £1).

Nothing too extreme really.

Mario Odyssey- 50 hours
FE: Three Houses- 60 hours
Breath of the Wild- around 80 hours
Xenoblade Definitive Edition- 110 hours
Xenoblade 2- 120 hours

What on earth were you doing for that long?

@Dezzy Main game, all side quests, all unique monsters, Challenge Battle mode, NG+ (reset my characters levels, equipment, chips and aux cores back down to how they'd be in a first playthrough), Torna 100% completion (including the grind to take down the golden monsters), etc.

Also certain areas during the main game I got stuck for a very long time in like most of Chapter 7.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition currently takes the "Hours Played" cup. I've only owned my Switch for about a year, so I'm sure it'll be toppled at some point.

Anyone playing Pikmin 3, one of the greatest video games ever made?

I’m just as addicted to it as when I played on Wii U. It’s been long enough that I don’t remember much of anything, so it feels brand new. It’s already the #2 spot on the eShop, and has been moving up the complete list in Search, to the point it’s closed the gap with Hades, passing up all the free to play games that were sandwiched in between. I suspect it’ll take the #1 spot within the next few days... hopefully.

@JaxonH Pikmin 3 is moving up in the UK eshop charts too, 7th. The games currently above it are:
1. Ni No Kuni
2. NSMBU Deluxe
3. Hades
4. Ghostbusters
5. Super Mario Party
6. Minecraft

I bought a few overpriced retro games last month so that forced me to cancel my pikmin preorder but I am hoping it will be on sale for Black Friday ( I won’t go out due to covid but I can order online)

Loving part time UFO though.

@JaxonH I'll be streaming Pikmin 3 starting on Tuesday. Very excited to share this gem with people now we finished Sunshine.

Haven't played it in a few years so it'll be mostly fresh to me.

@Heavyarms55 Animal Crossing New Horizons;:465h, Luigi Mansion 3 55h, Super Mario Odyssey 100h, Super Smash Bros Ultimate 105h, Bayonetta 2 80h, Hyrule Warriors:Definitive Edition 25h, detail only Animal Crossing New Horizons,Luigi Mansion 3 and Super Mario Odyssey belong to me, the rest of the games i mentioned me cousin have lent to me(i only started playing my Switch of extended battery in dezembre 4th of 2019), that all my current Playtime of both games i own and games my cousin have lent to me to play, and i whished Nintendo let delete demos if you played in your Switch, i want to show the Playtime of my games and games my cousin have lent to me, but not the demo i downloaded(i recently dowloeaded the demo of Hyrule Warriors:Age of Calamity( and i found the tone of the music very melancolic, is that intencional?).

check out all the profissionals of the highest calibre, Retro Studios is hiring to work on Metroid Prime 4, GOTY of 2022/2023 and best game of the franchise coming?

@Haruki_NLI
It is a gem.

Did you know Miamoto actually believed Pikmin would be “the next Mario”? True story.

He even named Olimar as Mario in reverse. The “r” sound in Japanese is pronounced more like a soft “L”. If you sound out Mar - Ri - O backwards it’s O - Ri - Mar which phonetically sounds like O - Li - Mar or Olimar. He really did believe in the franchise! And he should have- it really is THAT good. Every bit as good as Mario.

@Grumblevolcano oh no!my PTSD is back, thanks stupid Koroks, are we going to receive a poop if we got all Korok Seeds in this game?

@JaxonH I keep telling the guys I stream with this is the first real chance for Pikmin to go huge. The first two were on GameCube, the Wii ports came too late into it's life and 3 was on the Wii U.

Even then, 3 is getting overshadowed in the wider gaming space by...well you know. Circumstance and all that.

Actually 3 was getting overshadowed by new consoles in 2013 too.

Man.

I'm gonna enjoy revisiting this game, enjoying it all again with people who have no idea it's even an RTS.

@JaxonH i believe when Miyamoto said the Pikmin franchise is gonna be the next Mario, he was expecting and hoping the Pikmin franchise have the same critical and sales sucess of the Mario franchise, this may explain why Pikmin 3 too so long to develop and Pikmin 4 sadly it seens to be in development hell, Pikmin 1 sold 1.2 milions, Pikmin 2 sold 1.1 milions and Pikmin 3 sold 1.0 milions(you can correct me in this, if my information is wrong), Hey! Pikmin just sold 2.3333.

@Giancarlothomaz oh my arceus, stop with the multi-posting already.

Did you not get the hint with the multiple warnings and the temporary ban?

@Eel You band him and he still is doing it LMAO!

@Eel ok, and does replying to someone post here or mine count as multposting?

@Giancarlothomaz You can easily respond to someone AND talk about other stuff in the same post. If you find something else you want to talk about, edit your message and include that in the original post you just made.

I like that you're enthusiastic and engaged. I imagine other people feel the same way. But we also want to make sure that people don't post multiple times in a row so that the flow of the thread is neater and easier to read overall.

Weirdly enough Taiko no Tatsujin: Chibi Dragon to Fushigi na Orb has been delisted from the 3ds eshop. Which would make sense but it isn’t in the Dokodon RPG (Rhythmic Adventure Pack) pack on the way to Switch. So anybody that doesn’t own it, now is the time to ebay a physical copy before the price spikes.

Maybe it will be an Unlockable in the Switch game. I thought its omission was weird. Normally I would toss this in the game page (is there a Taiko no Tatsujin game page?) but this does impact Switch owners that have a JPN 3ds.

My drum controller is supposed to arrive today. Very excite!

Until then, I'll be trying out Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, which arrived yesterday.
