@Pizzamorg I'm outside of the UK. Hopefully they're just late.

@NeonPizza Me, I am.

I challenge you!

I was able to golf a +2 on the 18 hole course. A total of 72 strokes (Par = 70).

Who can best my score??? I know someone here is doing under par on the 18.

@NeonPizza
I won't say more excited, but close to just as much. I'm a diehard Pikmin fan. The problem is gyro imitating pointer (which it's not the best at), but Pikmin 4's new ground level view should make aiming more like a traditional game where you spin camera with right analog and dial in with gyro. I think that's why they changed the view, to overcome that obstacle, as proper aiming is integral to the experience.

I remember Switch Sports getting a super lukewarm reaction and then I basically forgot all about it. I see they have now added golf, does this add to the package in any meaningful way or is it still not worth owning?

@NeonPizza
Wii U version is definitely definitive for controls. But the new lock on feature with analog control works wonders to negate that issue.

@NeonPizza I more exited for most games that aren’t TOTK. I get I sound like a broken record but I don’t care for open world games

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika put it in your bio so you don't have to say it again

@Kermit1Pineapple done

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika you just put a red dot on your head

@Kermit1Pineapple I’ll do you one better

It's almost time for the annual playthrough of DKC Tropical Freeze. Not sure I'll be able to tear myself away from Monster Hunter, but since I'll probably be diverting to Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core and DQ Treasures in a couple weeks, could be a perfect opportunity to do another run.

I fired up New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe not too long ago, and I kept dying on this level in World 4. Which astounded me because I beat the game back on Wii U, and always thought it was relatively easy. Idk if my platforming skills are slacking or if the game is just harder than I remember...

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
There is a difference between open world style and free roaming style.
Open world style = seamless world without loading screen. Example: LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER, Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles.

Free roaming style = similar as open world style but limited in one place only. Example : Sly Cooper 2/3/PS3, Super Mario Odyssey, Go Vacation.

The games still have mission or something to do by go to certain direction so you will not feel bored while exploring the world.
Don't you think it's beautiful to explore the 3D world regardless of open world style / free roaming style ?
Open world style is not always like BOTW, even LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER is open world style game and I like to explore LEGO CITY in shirtless six pack outfits.

@Anti-Matter I actually quite enjoyed “free roaming games” Like metal gear solid 5 which people say BoTW is an evolution of but MGS5 puts it to shame. And xenoblade nier yakuza and so on

I get most open world games are different in fact funny you mention Lego city undercover that game is amazing. But my issue is going from point A to B. Lego citys map is small and there are vehicles everywhere. But most of the time your dropped into some forest and no matter where you walk for ten minutes with no content or way to enjoy yourself you will find nothing. Take a game we both dislike Horizon Zero Dawn. It dosen’t matter if you go left right forward ms or backwards you’ll see the same robots and bandits and puzzles and challenges. There is no discovery but you still need to move around

@NeonPizza they could make a 60fps Pikimin 4, but didn't miyamoto stated that small details are important for Pikimin games? I doubt they would lower/sacrifice graphical quality and/or visual fidelity if this is the case

Persona 5 Royal for Switch/PC/PS5/XB1/Series X|S has already sold 1 million copies:

Playing it as we speak! Great game so far, and was not expecting the themes that the game throws at you.

@JaxonH Donkey Kong Tropical Freezy is a masterpiece, i hope Nintendo is planing a 2D or 3D Donkey Kong game for Switch

@Giancarlothomaz
The recent design change of Donkey Kong for the Super Mario Bros movie makes me wonder if that design is actually from the upcoming DK game.

I decided to double dip on more games I've had on Xbox for years, Burnout Paradise and the Bioshock Trilogy. As time goes, I'm feeling increasingly more towards the view about only buying games if they're available on the Switch (and native of course, absolutely not regarding cloud).
