Played some Splatoon 3 after not playing in several months and all I can say is yikes I'm rusty...

Honestly regret not putting more time into the game when it released. I feel like I'm woefully behind everyone else

I think we all feel that way in a multiplayer game, no matter how much we play. Do not worry about it. Play at your own pace and just try to have a good time and accomplish your goals.

Hey everyone. I have not played a single Trails game yet. I am watching a Youtube video and am really liking the looks and the music. Is there a game in the series I should start with? Or is every entry worth starting?

All though I have never had the stick drift issue I personally think Nintendo as well as other companies should of figured out a way to have this fixed before even thinking about the next devices.

I've had it multiple times on switch. Its pretty frustrating tbh.

Never thought I would say this, but I think I'm gonna grab one of those cool Animal Crossing Switch Lites when they come out.

With the "Switch 2" just around the bend, I'm starting to think about my collection and final purchases for the Switch before things start phasing out of production, and the Lite has grown on me after initially thinking it was the dumbest thing ever.

Probably a good move. I still regret not picking up a New 2DS when they were cheap after the Switch launched. Would've been good to have as a solid device to play games from that era on. My non-New and fairly well worn 3DS XL isn't exactly the best way to play 3DS, not that I've gone back to it since but still. I could buy one now I guess but at this point they cost more used than they did new at the tail end of that cycle

Personally I'm not tooo fussed about the Switch assuming there's backwards compatibility. But if there isn't or even if there's like a DS type scenario where the BC has some compromises? Will probably pick up a Switch Lite. I'm still kinda hoping for an "OLED Mini" SKU or something similar

Gungrave G.O.R.E. is coming to Switch.

I have fond memories of the first game back on PS2.

But uh...I think I'll pass.

Yea, I hear you on the 3DS/2DS thing. I managed to find a lightly-used 3DS for under 200 bucks a couple months ago, which these days is a semi-decent price. The New 3DS and 2DS prices are particularly insane.

@XandertheWise The game releases on the 15th so while it's on the eshop, you can't play it yet. There's also no digital preorder options.

I just finished my first playthrough of Trouble Witches Final arcade mode. What a shmup, very pleasantly surprised. The 2D pixel art over 3D backgrounds is easy on the eyes. I like the currency system for purchasing upgrades to the duration of your witch ability, extra lives, and your bombs. The on/off toggle for vacuuming up the currency being tied to your attack is neat. It forces you to ask yourself, "do I hold the fire button down for maximum dps or do I feather the fire button to collect drops?"

And the game runs buttery-smooth even with a screen full of bullets.

This might be the best cute'em up I've played. Feels better than Cotton Reboot.

@OwlHighway1Revisited Seems increasingly likely. It'll occupy a similar space as BotW, where it was technically announced for the previous console, but will look and do best on the newer hardware.

@Ralizah yeah, at this point if it isn't a launch title or a launch year game (either a summer or winter release) I'd be a bit worried for Retro Studios.

@OwlHighway1Revisited The only way I could see it not be is if Nintendo owes Geoff Keighley a Prime 4 reveal if it was meant to be properly revealed at Game Awards 2018 and it gets announced at Game Awards 2023. But that segment before the TTYD reveal does give the impression of "this is the 1st party lineup before Switch successor's launch" say for example 2024's lineup being:

  • January - Another Code: Recollection
  • February - Mario vs DK
  • March - Princess Peach: Showtime!
  • May - Splatoon 3 Side Order
  • June - Luigi's Mansion 2 HD
  • July - Paper Mario TTYD
  • September - Switch 2 releases
