It's kind of insane that Nintendo went from one of the most the most curated storefronts to becoming one if the most p*rn-filled, plagiarism-ridden storefronts in a single generation.
I've been playing, and I'm quite impressed. It's UNBELIEVABLY polished. It feels like Pokémon took some ideas from Yugioh Duel Link. It's a reduced deck and bench size with simplified mechanics. It's pretty great!
Earlier this year, I replayed Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey back to back. I was once again reminded that I like Odyssey, but I just don't love it. Comparing the two, 64 feels so much tighter to me because there's only 120 stars. Each course is structured around each achievement. Odyssey is fun, but I think it would have benefited from smaller levels with fewer moons. It begins to feel like a checklist after awhile rather than an achievement.
I quite literally refreshed the page on Steam this morning until it was available for purchase. This game is easily one of my most anticipated games of the whole year.
I can't even express just how excited I am that there's a possibility Nintendo could bring GameCube games to the Switch, and then I could play Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on the go. Oh my gosh, my heart. Please let this be true.
After watching the trailer, how could anyone not be excited about this because of the AI-generated backgrounds? It's just concept art for a game that probably won't be out until 2026. If the game has that much character and life as just a concept with over a year more of development, then this game looks to be an absolute winner.
I got the true ending for Unicorn Overlord earlier this month. I could NOT put it down once I started playing it. Easily one of my favorite games I've played this year.
My PS5 was $500, and I have buyer's remorse. I just upgraded to the Switch OLED by buying it used for $250 because my launch day Switch was starting to die. Worth every. Single. Penny. $300-$400 is the sweet spot.
@GregamanX Oh my gosh, same. I was so confused when everyone said the game was amazing. I thought I was on crazy pills when I played it and hated every minute of it.
Unpopular opinion warning. Honest to goodness, I absolutely hate this game. I enjoy a good puzzle game, but I have never been more angry at a game than this one. Instead of feeling smart, this game feels like it's taunting the player. It's one of the few games I have hidden from myself in my Steam library so I don't think about it.
I'm sure this looked so cool at the time, and it still does, but I am so tired of floating heads posters and box art. It's one of the most overdone designs these days.

He looks derpy, and I love it.
Re: Feature: 8 Games That Defined The Switch Generation
I'm shocked to not see Smash Ultimate on here. The character reveals were unmatched when it comes to hype. I'll never forget the Joker reveal.
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
It's just crazy to think that somewhere out there on the planet, there is a Switch 2 sitting in a warehouse that I will hold in my hands this year.
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
@Jack_Goetz As a graphic designer, I both agree with and resent your comment. Haha!

Re: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2024
AH HELL YES! Unicorn Overlord was my personal GOTY, and it's good to see it in its rightful place.
Re: Opinion: At Last, Vanillaware Hit The Big Time With Unicorn Overlord
@axelhander Sadly, Vanillaware does not release their games on Steam. They don't want gamers to backward engineer their games.
Re: Opinion: At Last, Vanillaware Hit The Big Time With Unicorn Overlord
Unicorn Overlord is my personal GOTY. I could NOT put this game down. I loved every minute of it.
Re: Opinion: Nintendo Needs To Let Us Block The Crap On Switch 2's eShop
It's kind of insane that Nintendo went from one of the most the most curated storefronts to becoming one if the most p*rn-filled, plagiarism-ridden storefronts in a single generation.
Re: Rumour: Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection "Full List Of Games" Apparently Leaked

Re: Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Launches Worldwide Today
I've been playing, and I'm quite impressed. It's UNBELIEVABLY polished. It feels like Pokémon took some ideas from Yugioh Duel Link. It's a reduced deck and bench size with simplified mechanics. It's pretty great!
Re: Three More Worms Games Are Joining Digital Eclipse's 'Armageddon' Remaster Next Year
Waiting from them to add Worms 2. That one is still my favorite.
Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
Earlier this year, I replayed Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey back to back. I was once again reminded that I like Odyssey, but I just don't love it. Comparing the two, 64 feels so much tighter to me because there's only 120 stars. Each course is structured around each achievement. Odyssey is fun, but I think it would have benefited from smaller levels with fewer moons. It begins to feel like a checklist after awhile rather than an achievement.
For me, in no particular order, my top 3 are:

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Might Be Gearing Up For A GameCube Controller Comeback
I can't even express just how excited I am that there's a possibility Nintendo could bring GameCube games to the Switch, and then I could play Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on the go. Oh my gosh, my heart. Please let this be true.
Re: Japanese Charts: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Summons Up Another Win
Wow, ever since that PS5 price increase in Japan, that console and its games have dropped off a cliff over there.
Re: Reaction: A Little Device That Makes Sounds In Sync To Movements On The Bed?... Oh, Nintendo
When words of affirmation is your love language, and all you and your partner needed was that one Wahoo from Mario. 😌

These are also just the UK numbers.
Re: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom's Frame Rate Is "Even Worse" Than Link's Awakening
Poor little Switch limping across the finish line.
Re: Level-5's New Yo-Kai Watch 'Holy Horror Mansion' Teaser Supposedly Features AI Artwork
After watching the trailer, how could anyone not be excited about this because of the AI-generated backgrounds? It's just concept art for a game that probably won't be out until 2026. If the game has that much character and life as just a concept with over a year more of development, then this game looks to be an absolute winner.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
I've read through a handful of reviews, and it kind of sounds like you get out if this game what you put into this game, much like TotK.
Re: Tactical RPG Gem 'Unicorn Overlord' Smashes Past 1 Million Sales
I got the true ending for Unicorn Overlord earlier this month. I could NOT put it down once I started playing it. Easily one of my favorite games I've played this year.
Re: Random: Someone 3D Printed The Rumoured 'Switch 2' Design
If all of these rumors are correct then I'm not even made. A bigger, better Switch would be incredible.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Developer Seemingly Revealed
Wait, this wasn't already confirmed? Like, wasn't this kind of a given?

Re: Video: 16 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In September 2024
The Plucky Squire and The Legend of Zelda are my two most anticipated games of the entire year. It's going to be a great month.
Re: Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch
My gosh, I hope this is real. This is one of my most played games from my childhood.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Definitely the Western box art. The layout and hierarchy of the typography in the Japanese box art is just awful.
Re: Talking Point: Would $499 Be Too Much For 'Switch 2'?
My PS5 was $500, and I have buyer's remorse. I just upgraded to the Switch OLED by buying it used for $250 because my launch day Switch was starting to die. Worth every. Single. Penny. $300-$400 is the sweet spot.
Re: Random: Is This The Harshest Mario Kart 8 Has Ever Been?
Get gewd. Only the strong of heart and soul survive.
Re: Braid: Anniversary Edition Sales Have Been "Utterly Terrible", Says Creator
@GregamanX Oh my gosh, same. I was so confused when everyone said the game was amazing. I thought I was on crazy pills when I played it and hated every minute of it.

Re: Talking Point: Will The Switch Ever Get A 'Nintendo Selects' Range?
If it does happen, they'll only get marked down to $40, not $20.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow
I'm sure this looked so cool at the time, and it still does, but I am so tired of floating heads posters and box art. It's one of the most overdone designs these days.
Re: Poll: Are You Ready To Move On From The Switch?
I have had the worst luck with joycon. I have lost count of the number of joysticks I've replaced in my joycon. PLEASE bring on the new hardware.
