Having just finished Cyberpunk 2077 I need to pick my next game. Since Halloween is right around the corner, do I give Omori a second chance, or move on to Cult of the Lamb? Cast your vote, help me decide. I'll tally the suggestions after work today.
Playing through SMB Wonder to 100% completion (it was absolutely fantastic) got me in the mood for more 2D platformers so I went back to the best one that's on Switch, Tropical Freeze. My current Switch save had 100% completion but with hard mode and time trials untouched (I think my Wii U save was around 150%). Feels like a good way to fill in the gap before Nintendo announces Booster Course Pass wave 6.
I feel like I may have asked this question in the past but I've been thinking about it again lately due to a trip I'm going on at the end of the month where I might be picking up a game or two from CEX so screw it, I'm asking it again: is it OK to buy used physical games for Switch? I'm thinking about grabbing Paper Mario: The Origami King in prep for Thousand Year Door's release and the cheapest price I can find it for is €42 in a CEX conveniently located around where I'll be staying for my trip so I'd really like to have the peace of mind that getting used games for Switch is pretty much the same as getting used games for other systems (given how I've never actually bought a used game for Switch yet XD).

@Fizza Used games are fine, you probably won’t get any gold points for them like you do with new games though as they would have likely been taken by the original owner. There’s a few odd games to avoid like like Final Fantasy 10 where there’s a download code for Final Fantasy 10-2 which might have been used up already too.
CEX is rubbish though, way over priced for second hand games. You’re better off with eBay and just checking if the seller has bad feedback or not.
@Fizza I've bought a few used games for the Switch, and they work fine. Just double-check the cartridge to make sure you don't gunk up your system with a gunked up cartridge. And you should be able to claim gold coins for the cartridge as long as it's within a year of the release date and no one has already claimed gold coins for that cartridge.

And you should be able to claim gold coins for the cartridge as long as it's within a year of the release date and you haven't already claimed gold coins for that title, as claiming gold coins is based on your system and Nintendo account, not the cartridge itself.
That’s not true. It’s based on the cart.
From the article below; “Can I Claim Gold Points On Pre-Owned Games? Sadly not. If the game you're using is pre-owned or belongs to someone else who has already claimed the Gold Points, then you will not be able to earn Gold Points on your account.”
@jump Yeah, you're right. I researched it after I posted and corrected it. Oops.

I used it a few times in hotels, but it wasn't a great app. Still, kind of a pity to lose game-related stream-watching on Switch. It didn't last too long.
With wave 6 confirmed for next week, there's a large 1st party December gap present where the only thing happening so far is Splatoon 3 Chill Season 2023 starting on December 1st (the update goes live on November 30th) which is much quieter than usual.
In terms of already announced things that could fit in that gap, the only possibility is Scarlet/Violet Indigo Disk DLC (currently scheduled for Winter 2023). But as for other possibilities, they could shadow drop something at the Game Awards or it could be that it is just the Splatoon 3 season but that season is much bigger than the typical Splatoon 3 season like if a brand new mode was introduced.
Get hype! My excitement for this was a bit on the low side before, but it's literally a Persona version of Mario + Rabbids! Really hoping this style of SRPG takes off more and more.

@Fizza That release date being close to Christmas Day gives me flashbacks to a decade ago. For some reason The Pokemon Company thought it was a brilliant idea in 2013 to release Pokemon Bank on Christmas Day in Japan. Unsurprisingly Nintendo's servers completely collapsed for a few days (it was finally fully working again on December 29th).
