BIG3

I'm glad to see Zelda being playable for once.

I used her a lot in Hyrule Warriors because of how cool her powers are.

If the Switch 2 does indeed work like the Wii U then there is hope for Xenoblade X after all and that makes me extremely happy!

Edit. And maybe this means you could play multiplayer/couch coop using both the Switch and the TV at the same time?

@Xeacons Like a router. Needs power but sends signals wireless.

Reading this article made me realize I really want a sequel to Astral Chain.

Where's my Shelob game?

This weekend on PS5 I'm playing Astro Bot, Stellar Blade (only 3 suits left to find) and Alan Wake 2 ng+. I love how they integraded the DLC into the main story, very nice touch.
On Xbox I'm doing some sidequests in Witcher 3.
On the Switch I'm doing some sidequests in TotK.
It's not often I'm jumping between all 3 consoles but when I do I absolutely love it.

@luciobar1980 I looked through all the leaked pictures and there doesnt seem to be a proper d-pad on the left joycon.

@Pillowpants Because of this leak I'm willing to bet a reveal coming next week. Would be weird to have a September without a Direct anyways...

@MitchaK thank you for the info!

@Maubari I think they will be fine as long as they call it Switch 2, Super Switch or Switch Advanced maybe. And make sure it is properly stated on the box that this is their next gen console.

@Olliemar28 Cool. Then its off to a great start. Im a huge fan of the Series S capabilities so if Switch 2 can match it this will be a nice gen for Nintendo.

I had a look at it. Looks like a bigger screen but skinnier switch which is great imo. Anybody want to figure out how much power it got? Does it match ps4 pro or series s?

Edit. Got the answers. Now I'm hyped. Wonder what it will cost... Hopefully a September reveal is incoming.

I really wish it was possible to create and save your own custom cups.

I've 100% Oddyssey and Wonder and I'm soon done with Astro Bot and not once did it cross my mind Astro Bot is "stealing" from Oddyssey.

I'm pretty sure Switch 2 will launch with Super Mario Oddyssey 2.

I picked BG3 because thats the one I would buy in a heartbeat. But to be fair most of the games listed would make a skyrim moment.

I picked up Astrobot (PS5) because it reviewed well and I'm kind of in between games right now. I'm not really a fan of 3D platformers but perhaps this game will convince me. It definetly looks fun enough. And I love all the Easter eggs in it. Looking forward to playing it later today.

I wouldnt be surprised if Nintendo played an add for the Switch 2 in the next proper Nintendo Direct which usually takes place in September. Then do a Switch 2 focused Direct with launch games early 2025 before releasing the new system in March or April.

I'm all over the place playing Stellar Blade (ps5), Forza Horizon 4 (Series X) and Smash Bros (Switch). Have a good weekend!

Never cared about the timeline but now I kind of want a game that connects all of it and moves forward or end it.
Xenoblade 3s ending comes to mind. A great ending to a saga.

I wonder if online play is cross platform. Sure hope so.

Only Played Ryza 2 and really enjoyed it. This new game looks interesting. I'll keep my eye on it.

If the multiplayer is cross platform Im in. Wmd suffered from not having this feature imo, even though it was a great game.

So I finally beat BG3!!! For me it was a hard game to master but when it finally clicked, it is so good! I went from giving up on the game in act 1 to rolling credits with a big grin on my face. I can imagine this being a game I will play over again just to take different paths in the future.

This weekend it's back to a steady rotation of hunting down the final costumes in Stellar Blade on PS5.
Forza 4 and Starfield (with the new vehicle) on Series X while waiting for Shattered Space next month.
And nothing on Switch OLED unfortunatly. I think my next game will be Lego Horizon on that console.

Im also really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard.

Have a good weekend.

It all depends on how strong it is. I'll buy it no matter what though as long as I can log on with my account and continue where I left off on my Switch OLED.

Civ7 on the Switch is a perfect match.

I just finished my third playthrough of Stellar Blade. Still missing a couple costumes, I'll have to look them up but I wont do another run yet.
I'm stuck on BG3 and I can't be bothered to deal with it now.
I did buy Forza 4 Ultimate so I might just do some races or something.
I'm really looking forward to Dragon Age Veilguard. That will most likely be my next new game.

@Vyacheslav333 I do know. But when they base their article on howlongtobeat.com then Niers gametime number is not that high. If it was by my own playtime Nier Automata would be top 5 on my playtime list out of all the games in this article.

@mariomaster96 If the games was ranked by how good they are it would be top 3 imo.

@jedgamesguy One of the reasons I haven't jumped into FF7 Rebirth yet...

@Vyacheslav333 Nier Automata clocks in at 61 hours on Howlongtobeat which is 15 hours shorter than the last entry on the list.

This game will most likely be a christmas present for myself.

Artisticly I always felt like this game would be perfect on the Switch.

I'm stuck again on BG3 on Series X so this weekend Ill be wrapping up my 3rd playthrough of the fantastic Stellar Blade on PS5 instead. Meanwhile my Switch is collecting dust.

Yeeeah. Kevin Hart hasnt been funny in at least 10 years. I'll pass.

I'm about to complete my first run of BG3 on Xbox. I only have a couple quests to wrap up before I go to the final boss.
It's been a fun journey. A couple months ago I was about to give up on the game because I thought it was sluggish and boring. But now I can barely put it down.

@nukatha Mine is the same. I just want to play Xenoblade X.

Xenoblade 3 is such a fantastic game. And the DLC might be one of the best DLCs I've ever played.

Give me Claude and Dorothea and I'm good!

Engage would have been so much better with ng+. And the DLC made the game better.
Three Houses is one of my most played games. Absolutely love it.

Xbox: Im in act 3 of Baldurs Gate 3. Have started googling all the quests because Im kind of burned out and would like to finish the story.

Switch and PS5: Nothing at the moment.

Recently finished: Just wrapped up my 3rd playthrough of Witcher 3. Game still holds up after all these years. Had a wonderful time revisiting.

Xbox Series X: Jumping between Witcher 3 and BG3.

Xbox: Witcher 3 (starting Blood and Wine dlc). Been a fun ride playing this game for the third time.
Also, BG3. I made it to act 3 and feel completely overwhelmed and have no idea what to do or where to start.
PS5 and Switch. Nothing.

Series X: BG3. Finally starting to get the hang on this game. Been playing blind for 25hrs but had no idea what I was doing. Started googling everything, going back if the rolls messed up and respec my character. Now Im killing everything and things are moving along, finally.
Soon wrapping up the basegame of Witcher 3 for the third time as well.
PS5 and Switch: Nothing.

If this wasnt a 10 I dont know what is.

I must admit I didnt think they would announce this many great looking games so late into the Switchs cycle. But I'm glad they did. I got 5 new games on my wish list now.
Considering how awesome the Xbox showcase was earlier it has been a really solid last couple of weeks here. Now, if only Sony would stop messing around. Lol.

So glad to see this game. Never had a chance to play it before but I grew up on DK country 9n Snes and loved Tropical Freeze.

3 remakes I would buy: DK Country Returns, Wind Waker, Xenoblade X. If I get any of these Ill be very happy considering we're at the end of the Switch. A new mainline DK would be awesome and is something I can see happening. A far out wish would be a sequel to Astral Chain.

So glad to see this coming to the Switch!

I've kind of decided to not buy anymore games for the Switch while I wait for Switch 2, however, if they have figured out a way to remake Xenoblade X I'm preordering ASAP.
