I just downloaded this on my phone and uhhh... Might double dip so my siblings can play at the same time instead of bugging me or a turn. Because I wanna play for 2 hours straight, darn it, so let me!
As someone in the minority of "Those Who Really Liked the Design of the Sportsmates and Prefers them to Miis in Certain Scenarios," I would have loved if DxD had somehow been part of a Switch Sports S2E. (I really want that anyway, but I think it might have made more people willing to give it a go.) Miis are still fantastic as little avatars to use in whatever capacity Nintendo allows (MKWorld would have been great to have, even if I would never bother.), but I really do like the Sportsmates!
Not a horror guy myself, but the review seems to suggest this isn't too scary.... For only 5 bucks, I might pick this one up. Though that's what I said about the last few games I bought for a good price, all of which are nestled nicely into my backlog. So maybe I shouldn't grow that any more 😅
@AJWolfTill thanks for the suggestion! I can beat the first part consistently, it's the second bits that's really giving me a headache. I'll try that out, thanks!
I do love the little sparkles Nintendo adds to their games! Some of this game has rough edges, animation-wise, but these idle animations are not included there!
I am not particularly good at games, but I have always loved Hollow Knight. That said, my inability to git gud has meant that, as we speak (type? read? whatever), I am working through the game, still! I have attempted the Mantis Lords multiple times, but hopefully I will actually be at them soon enough! Regardless of whether or not I finish, I will be getting Silksong on Day 1 - I've waited too long not to! Wish me luck in finishing out this boss, and remember... Silksong (in a few) Tomorrow (s)!
Ughhhhh not another game that I really want but (although I can afford it) really shouldn't buy because it will just go into my backlog! Why must Nintendo releases so many masterpieces?!
All the best to DD2; it's not my type of game, but hey, I always appreciate someone who just does what they said they'd do, regardless of the circumstances!
@N00BiSH all good! Honestly, my annoyance is balanced out by how much I enjoy chatting with you at other times. I figure, hey, I won't agree with anyone about EVERYTHING so it's not a big deal!
He isn't exactly wrong... Their biggest fans still love them. "Everyman" on the other hand... But hey, at least the company itself is less awful than some others who fire people willy nilly
@Erigen Kid Icarus fans don't even get a corner to huddle in, we got kicked outside 😭
I assume the mane is pun on ABXY and Absolute haha. Dumb idea to advertise that way, but in general the device looks cool. But not for that price lol, I can spend $500 on a Nintendo system to play their games, not on a PC to pirate them! (Even if it's 3D)
Thank you, Jim, for pointing this out. I was embarrassed the other day when I told my friend about the Drag "eks" Drive demo, and this is why! Yes, X is a very cool letter, it's got whole website named after it now, but... Can we not? Please? It's like when you couldn't have games with cats in them--you have to have KATZ because reasons.
Odd choice, but it's a fun game, it's a flagship series, it's selling very well... I see where they're coming from. DKB is very fun too, though! Definitely deserves best gameplay.
I figured that was the reasoning. Personally, I swapped it because TotK already annoys me in that when I play, I get used to it... And then I go play some other game or something and get thrown totally off. So I saved myself the headache and remapped it in the Game Settings!
I really like the sleekness of the logo (hot take, I know haha), and this game took really fun. I went from "only interested because of Sakurai's involvement" to " wait maybe I am actually hyped now" verrrry quickly!
I am still working though the original 😂 But you know I will buy Silksong day one when it shadowdrops! ...because it got to shadowdrop, right? Surely...
@shieldhero please not the Splatoon Manga! I would love a Splatoon series, don't get me wrong, but the Manga is the actual worst thing produced in relation to Splatoon. I will stand by that claim until something worse releases (which I hope never happenes, because that would be abysmal). The only redeeming factor is the art style is cute, and Bobble Hat exists. The actual story breaks the lore and focuses so much on "haha funi" and it drives me crazy. I am trying so hard to restrain myself because I don't want to sound like I am mad at you (I really am not, just mad at the manga) or like I am a crusty old nerd who cares too much about the hypothetical future of earth (I am, but I don't want to sound like it). Anyway, TED talk over, please give us official Nintendo shows, thank you.
Oddly, I am saddened by this news even though I haven't touched the game in literal years. It was a fun time! In fact, it was the first game I downloaded on my SwOLED when I got it. The WNA Resort was always a fun spot to chill, maybe I'll hop online sometime.
Marvel Rivals would be great, since it is free, and it has some of my favorite characters, AND it looks fun. I know nothing about HiFi Rush, but I would love to check it out for the art style alone! I just heard about Blue Prince yesterday, and it sounds intriguing. I'd be down! E33 is getting rave reviews everywhere, and I wanna play it, so please! Yes! I love the Portal games, and I heard that the HalfLife series is in the same universe? So I would buy all of them day one, for that reason alone!
I want to like this game, or rather, but this game, but I also don't really know if it will click with me. I love older games, don't get me wrong, it's moreso that I haven't played at least 8 games currently on my Switch 2. This might end up the same, and I really need to stop wasting money on Someday Games 😬
Oh, Happy 25th! I just started this one a month back, but my progress is slow lol (I tend to play any given game for a week, then drop it for a month lol). Certainly a great game this far--it and the Oracle games are my favorites on NSO, and maybe SM64.
You don't even need to put the whole thing on there.
If they didn't there would be SO much backlash--probably moreso than Welcome Tour being $10. That said, yeah, I'd love to see it! DK+wise, I just want to hear Heart of Gold, but for MKWorld, I want the whole thing! (I mean I already downloaded all the songs to my phone, but an official version rather than my offbrand mp3s would be great lol)
Well great. I didn't know about this and now I do and now I have to get it AND now I also have to read The Fisherman AND now I remembered that I was supposed to read Death on the Nile AND
I didn't realize there was confusion.... Cranky is the OG DK who kidnapped "grandma" Pauline (AKA Lady). And her granddaughter is Young Pauline, who teams up with modern DK for this game!
@MoldyPasta I meant free DLC, but depending on what it is I might get paid DLC for MKWorld as well. (very dependent on what it is, but a DKB crossover pack for $15 would be an instant buy for me lol (yes I'm a sucker))
NSMBW, Sports Mix, MP8.... These were my childhood! Not to mention my teenage faves: 3D Land, Galaxy 1+2, Super Paper Mario.... I may have been late to a few them, but I love them nonetheless!
My guess is Wonder Switch 2 Edition and MKWorld DLC, plus a movie teaser and Sunshine on NSO. I really don't expect a blowout like the 35th--if we got that every 5 years, it wouldn't be so special. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 35 have some importance in Japanese culture?
As far as a new 3D Mario.... Please no! I am loving DKB, and a new Mario would overshadow it instantly. Odyssey was fine, but I don't want more of that when DK is filling the "collectaformer" space just fine!
Oh, but "hopes and dreams"-wise I would kill for an HD remaster of the Galaxy games. Not sure how I'd want them to handle it, but it would be great to see! (Again, I don't expect anything)

I would have gladly paid $80 for this one lol, so I will certainly shell out the 75% less for SILKSONG TOMORROW (close enough OK?)!!
Re: Talking Point: Would Drag x Drive Be Better With Miis Or Non-Mouse Control Options?

(I really want that anyway, but I think it might have made more people willing to give it a go.)
