I was hoping they would add this game to Nintendo Classics! That's awesome news for sure. I know what I'm gonna be playing this Halloween, lol... plus it's been ages since I last played it.
I don't find myself playing NES games too often these days, but if I do, I normally play them via NSO or game collections (I picked NSO). I've played a good chunk of them when I was a kid, thanks to a secondhand console we've had years ago, but I wasn't around during the 80s.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - Been replaying it and I'm at the last main dungeon. I'll be getting the last instrument and hopefully I'll find more bottles and pieces of heart before the final boss. I did the color dungeon too, and as much as I wanted the extra attack power, I ended up picking more defense instead.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event so I'll be playing in that.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Still playing a little bit each day. Still no luck on the conductor hats appearing at my Able Sisters shop. Been wanting a green one with Christmastime coming in a couple months. Might play the DLC too but I'll see how I feel.
Have a lovely weekend and I hope you're all doing well.
Hee hee hee... been in the Halloween spirit with my new profile picture and banner! Don't worry guys, I won't cast any wicked spells on any of you, lol. Here's what I'm planning on playing...
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - The Switch remake to be more specific. I felt like replaying it, and I still love this game. I got the first three instruments as of this post. I'm also playing it on Switch 2, and I'm happy to say that the frame rate jittering is gone.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Still playing a little bit each day, and continually checking the Able Sisters shop. Maybe the DLC too, we'll see.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event today.
I might play a few other games besides these, but haven't decided yet. You all have a lovely weekend.
@Yalloo Thanks! I placed 1st by the time we reached 100%, so that felt real good!
Still have a lot on my mind, but I'm doing the best I can. Here's what I'm planning on playing...
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Still playing a little bit of this game each day. It's been a little while since I played Happy Home Paradise, so maybe I should come back to that. Really hope my Able Sisters shop will have the conductor hats... I do have two variants of it at least, and every variant of the outfit.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event, and hopefully we'll get 100% of our goal this time.
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams - This is actually a really good platformer. Been playing it on GBA - Nintendo Classics, and I made a decent amount of progress in it. I think I finished the first three worlds.
I might play one or two other games besides these, but not sure what I'd want to pick yet. You all have a great weekend.
@Jhena Thank you. Been going through a difficult time but I'm doing my best.
@Yalloo Sending my thanks to you too. That is strange we didn't meet the goal... every other event I played had us reach 100%, you could be right there just wasn't too many players this time. So no I've not seen that.
@Mana_Knight Thanks and you're very welcome. I hope so too.
@Mana_Knight Oh no! I'm sorry to hear. Yeah, I'm a little depressed now. But I'm doing the best I can. Really happy that stuff like Animal Crossing exists. Not only is it relaxing, but I love how cute it looks, too.
I'm not feeling too well mentally... I've got a lot on my mind now but I'll just leave it at that here. I hope I can feel better soon, but here's what I'll be playing.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Been still playing it, and I'm still checking the Able Sisters shop for my conductor hats. I've also been chipping away at Happy Home Paradise.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus - I came back to this game pretty recently, I'm at the Cobalt Coastlands now and I'm getting more stuff done for the Pokedex.
Mario Kart World - Likely gonna be playing online, depending on how I feel. Or I could go back to Free Roam mode.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event.
I hope you're all doing well. Happy gaming, everybody.
@Tyranexx You're very welcome. It's a great game to relax and blow off steam with, that's for sure... I did hear Silksong is mega challenging! I didn't make a huge amount of progress in the original Hollow Knight, so that game might be the end of me, lol.
Honestly, I'm having a little trouble thinking of what games I want to play besides my usual ones... I've finished Donkey Kong Bananza, and its postgame rehearsals and last level, and I'm trying to think of what backlog game I want to tackle next. I'm not super in the mood for RPGs at the moment though... those can take a long time. OK, here's what I'm planning on playing.
Mario Kart World - Gonna revisit the Free Roam mode and the online multiplayer.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I've finally caught my last bug! Hooray for me! I'll still keep playing in hopes that I get the rest of the variants for the conductor hat (for the train lover in me! 🚂), and I'll be playing the DLC too.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event.
I'm also thinking of revisiting Disney Illusion Island, and possibly Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. The former shouldn't take too long, and it'll give me a little bit of Disney magic. ✨
You all have an awesome weekend, and happy gaming, everybody.
@Tyranexx I love Kirby's Epic Yarn! Such a cute, cozy game, and I hope you continue to enjoy it.
I can only pick one game again... anyway, here's what I'll be playing. (Edit: I'm MarioVillager92 in case you're not aware, I changed my username.)
Super Mario All-Stars - My way to celebrate Mario's 40th anniversary... it's a childhood favorite of mine. Might play through the entirety of Super Mario Bros. 1 tonight, and I'll likely play at least some of SMB2 and 3 this weekend as well. This is the game I picked on the poll.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Gonna try to look for that dang bug for my museum, and hopefully the Able Sisters will finally have my conductor hats. I might play the DLC too.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Playing in today's ritual event.
Donkey Kong Bananza - I've finished the game already, but there's still some stuff I wanna do in the game. I don't have the DLC as of now.
Be good, and have a wonderful weekend. Happy gaming, and happy 40th anniversary, Super Mario!
Donkey Kong Bananza - I think I'm pretty close to the end right now, so it'll be my main focus. I hope I can finish it this weekend, lol.
Wario Land 4 - I started playing it on NSO's expansion pack pretty recently, and I'm liking it. I wrapped up the Emerald Passage and did a bit of the Sapphire Passage last time I played.
Mario Kart World - Playing online and Free Roam, with my trusty Loco Moto, haha.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I think I know what to do to get the last bug, so I'll play a bit more of this game. And this might be an OCD thing, but I want all the colors of the conductor outfit and hat! I did get all the outfit variants, but the hats haven't been showing for me. I'll keep checking the Able Sisters shop daily though. One of these days.
Tetris Effect: Connected Another ritual event today.
I did hear Silksong is pretty good... I do want to play it as well, but I feel like I should revisit the original Hollow Knight and see how much progress I can make. I did get stuck in it last time. Maybe I'll start anew. To those who got Silksong, hope you're all enjoying it.
Have a wonderful weekend, be good, and happy gaming!
@dugan Lol! I can't blame him... but I already made this much progress so may as well try to get it all done. If the game would let me donate bugs without giving them to Blathers, I would, haha.
Donkey Kong Bananza - I just started my next area. I did recently explore the previous areas for banana gems and fossils. This game is definitely keeping me busy, lol.
Mario Kart World - Likely gonna play the online and Free Roam modes.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event to play in. And in a somewhat related note, maybe I'll play Tetris 99 as well.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Just one bug left for the museum... but if I can't find it, I'll play Happy Home Paradise instead.
I might play Super Mario Maker 2 as well, to play some NL folks' levels. It's been ages since I last played it. I don't remember if it's downloaded on my Switch 2, so if it isn't, I'll break out my Switch OLED and put the virtual game card in.
Have a lovely weekend, be good to yourselves, and happy gaming!
@Tyranexx You're welcome. That sounds like a lot of fun! I think you mentioned going on a roller coaster? (I'm still terrified of them, lol.) The concert sounds cool too.
Yeah, I do remember that the touch screen on my original DS got busted, I distinctly remember trying to recalibrate it... but to no avail. Plus the system itself hasn't worked in ages. The padding sounds a lot like the issue I had with Brothership, I didn't like the game because it just dragged on and on and on. It felt way longer than it needed to be. You're good on that review.
Ah yeah and a little update on me playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I caught the bugs I wanted to catch this month and took them all to my museum! I just have one left. I just had to move a lot slower than I'm used to so I wouldn't scare them away again.
@Tyranexx I hope you have a nice vacation. Nice job on finishing Dream Team! I did finish that game a decade ago so I don't remember too much of it, lol. I do remember how sluggish the giant battles were now that you mention it.
@HammerGalladeBro Happy birthday! I hope you have a fabulous day.
OK, here's what I'm playing this weekend. Same stuff, but with one new addition...
Mario Kart World - Still enjoying it and I'll likely play some more online races and the Free Roam. Maybe I'll play with a friend online if they're available.
Donkey Kong Bananza - Got this game yesterday and I'm really liking it. I made it through the first two worlds and I'll be checking out the next world.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event, plus I like Tetris.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I'll try to see if there's any bugs I haven't caught yet. If not, and when I get burnt out from that, I'll play the DLC.
I hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend. Happy gaming, everybody.
Not this glitch again, I can only pick one game... -_- tagging @NintendoLife about this. Anyway, here's what I'll be playing.
Mario Kart World - Playing some more online races and the Free Roam mode. I think I want to do some Time Trials as well.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Playing in the next ritual event.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I'll try to see if I can get more bugs for the museum. I've also been wanting to finally get back to Happy Home Paradise, since I'm getting a bit burnt out from this awful luck I've been having, lol... these bugs keep flying away when I'm not even close to them!
I also want to get Donkey Kong Bananza, I have a coupon that's good until next Saturday, and I heard that game is amazing. I hope you all have a lovely weekend, and happy gaming, everybody.
@Tyranexx I played that Mina the Hollower demo as well! Though I played the Switch 2 version. It's pretty dang good, just be prepared for a challenge... though that shouldn't come as a surprise since it's from the same studio that brought us Shovel Knight.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land - I have finished the game a while back, but I wanna try to 100% it this time. Since the Switch 2 edition is coming out later this month. Too bad I have to deal with those "no damage" challenges in the boss fights though.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event this Saturday.
Mario Kart World - It's actually been a fair while since I last played it, so I'd like to come back to it. Maybe even play with a friend online.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I'll try to catch new bugs for my museum... provided that I get lucky of course. I might play a bit of the DLC as well.
Hope you're all doing well. Have a wonderful weekend, and happy gaming, everybody.
One of my favorite childhood games. I still love playing it every now and then, and I still have our old SNES copy from back when I was a tot. What an awesome game! Even though Baby Mario's hollering can be a bit of a nuisance, lol.
Mario Kart World - Been playing the heck out of Knockout Tour online recently so I'll likely be focusing on that, and the Free Roam mode. Yesterday I managed to take home a 1st place victory in the Spiny Rally online! It feels so good getting 1st in Knockout Tour.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Always a good one to casually play, and I do remember there's a ritual event today so I'll play in that.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I'll try my luck in getting the remaining bugs for my museum this month. They might be incredibly rare though... I think I have about five more to get. Been a while since I played it, too.
@OctolingKing13 Thanks! I wanted to try out the Switch 2 edition since I have the NSO expansion pack, and since I finished the game on normal difficulty a couple years back I wanted to try out the master mode. I can tell I'm gonna need a heck of a lot of heart containers, lol. Hope you're having a good time with Bananza, I heard it's really good.
I'll be playing Mario Kart World this weekend... and also Breath of the Wild (Switch 2 edition). Started a master mode playthrough on the latter, and it is pretty challenging, lol. Hope you all have an awesome weekend.
I love Jamboree, but I'll stick with the base game. Not sure how often I'd play the upgrade pack's content, and to be frank, I wish they had the team mode as part of a free update instead. I mean, Mario Party 5 thru 8 (and I think 4, as well?) had a team mode right from the get go... that's just a bit silly to essentially charge extra for it.
@Tyranexx Thanks! I'm loving MKW indeed. And me too... choo choo! 🚂 The bike that Toad's driving is train inspired as well (it's called the Loco Moto). I like your new profile pic also, with Pikachu chilling out on a pool.
Since I now have a Switch 2, I'll be playing Mario Kart World! I'm having a blast with it! Been playing as Toad quite a lot lately, and I even changed my profile picture to him. He's adorable with his train outfit. Happy gaming, and have a great weekend, everybody.
This weekend, more of Super Mario Party Jamboree, as well as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Gonna try to get the remaining bugs for July/August in the latter, I'm only five bugs away from completing the museum. On a side note, not sure if I want to play Splatoon 3 this weekend... I've been getting some terrible luck in the splatfest last night and it's been real frustrating for me.
You all have a great weekend and happy gaming, everybody.
Super Mario Party Jamboree for me this weekend. Loving the Koopathlon mode and that people are still playing it. I wanna try out the flight school mode too, I finished Toad's Item Factory recently! You all have a great weekend and be sure to stay hydrated.
I'm back from my vacay, and I had a lovely time. Looks like I'll be playing Super Mario Party Jamboree this weekend! You all have a great weekend and be sure to stay cool and hydrated.
Today I will be leaving for a vacation to see my aunt, uncle, and cousins. I'll be playing Super Mario 3D World during my plane trip! I hope you all stay well and everything, and you all have a great weekend.
@shonenjump86 Happy birthday! I hope you have a lovely day and weekend.
I don't have a Switch 2, so more Okami for me. Been making some pretty good progress in that game. You all have a great weekend, everybody... hope you're all enjoying yourselves whether you're playing on Switch 2 or not.
I'll likely be playing more of Okami HD. Maybe a few rounds of Tetris 99, as well. Also, exactly two weeks from now, I'll be going on vacation to see some loved ones, so I may have to do a bit of prep work for that! Have a great weekend, everybody.
I'll be playing another Capcom game, but it's not Mega Man this time... it's Okami HD. I'm like three hours in as of now. It's got a pretty slow beginning, but I'm really liking the game. Maybe I'll also play like one or two other games as well, but definitely Okami. You all have a great weekend, everybody.
As a fan of trains, I'd love to play this! It looks cute and cozy too, and I'm also getting some Animal Crossing vibes from the trailer. I've been wanting a train-related game for my Switch for a good while now! 🚂
Still working through Mega Man Battle Network 6. Recently I also came back to F-Zero 99, so I'll play some rounds this weekend too. I still wanna get some new bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as well. You all have a great weekend.
@Serpenterror I have a Mario edition Switch OLED, that one is my main console. The spare one I mentioned is my original one that I got back in 2017. (I didn't get that at launch though.) I remember distinctly that my original model used to have that battery problem where it would look like the battery was draining quickly, but was still working for a long time even at 1%. I've not used the original model in seemingly ages (in other words, it has not been updated for a long time), and it's been looking like it was gonna bite the dust in the past anyway, so I got the OLED. As of this comment, everything's been working OK with my OLED.
@speed_loafer From the sounds of it, that error code has apparently been appearing right after updating and automatically restarting. But I don't know for sure, as that code has not happened to me as of now.
That doesn't look good. I did update my console and it's been working perfectly for me right now. I just finished playing too. If it helps to know, I don't have any CFW installed or had my Switch modded. I did notice that the Reddit post was two days ago too, so I think I got lucky. But my gosh, this is really scary to think about. Hopefully they'll have a fix for those affected by this soon.
I wonder if I should have my console in sleep mode from now on...? Or is that not necessary? I have a spare Switch that I could try using as well.
Just finished Mega Man Battle Network 5, and this weekend I kinda wanna start up MMBN6. Just one more game to go in the series. I'll be playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons this weekend too. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
I was hoping they would add this game to Nintendo Classics! That's awesome news for sure. I know what I'm gonna be playing this Halloween, lol... plus it's been ages since I last played it.
Re: Can You Name These NES Games From The Mangled Box Art?

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Play NES Games These Days?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th September)
@OctolingKing13 Thanks! Agreed, I had a very good time with it overall. Now all I have to do is wait for the next 3D Mario!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th September)
@Tyranexx You're very welcome. It's a great game to relax and blow off steam with, that's for sure... I did hear Silksong is mega challenging! I didn't make a huge amount of progress in the original Hollow Knight, so that game might be the end of me, lol.

@Tyranexx I played that Mina the Hollower demo as well! Though I played the Switch 2 version. It's pretty dang good, just be prepared for a challenge... though that shouldn't come as a surprise since it's from the same studio that brought us Shovel Knight.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (9th August)
I'll be playing...
Kirby and the Forgotten Land - I have finished the game a while back, but I wanna try to 100% it this time. Since the Switch 2 edition is coming out later this month. Too bad I have to deal with those "no damage" challenges in the boss fights though.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Another ritual event this Saturday.
Mario Kart World - It's actually been a fair while since I last played it, so I'd like to come back to it. Maybe even play with a friend online.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I'll try to catch new bugs for my museum... provided that I get lucky of course. I might play a bit of the DLC as well.
Hope you're all doing well. Have a wonderful weekend, and happy gaming, everybody.
Re: Anniversary: No Way Is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 30 Years Old Already
One of my favorite childhood games. I still love playing it every now and then, and I still have our old SNES copy from back when I was a tot. What an awesome game! Even though Baby Mario's hollering can be a bit of a nuisance, lol.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (2nd August)
This weekend I'll be playing...
Mario Kart World - Been playing the heck out of Knockout Tour online recently so I'll likely be focusing on that, and the Free Roam mode. Yesterday I managed to take home a 1st place victory in the Spiny Rally online! It feels so good getting 1st in Knockout Tour.
Tetris Effect: Connected - Always a good one to casually play, and I do remember there's a ritual event today so I'll play in that.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - I'll try my luck in getting the remaining bugs for my museum this month. They might be incredibly rare though... I think I have about five more to get. Been a while since I played it, too.
Have a fabulous weekend and happy gaming.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch 2 And Switch Games Launching In August 2025
Only thing I'm truly interested in is Kirby's Switch 2 edition.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th July)
@OctolingKing13 Thanks! I wanted to try out the Switch 2 edition since I have the NSO expansion pack, and since I finished the game on normal difficulty a couple years back I wanted to try out the master mode. I can tell I'm gonna need a heck of a lot of heart containers, lol. Hope you're having a good time with Bananza, I heard it's really good.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th July)
I'll be playing Mario Kart World this weekend... and also Breath of the Wild (Switch 2 edition). Started a master mode playthrough on the latter, and it is pretty challenging, lol. Hope you all have an awesome weekend.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Party Jamboree For Switch 2?
I love Jamboree, but I'll stick with the base game. Not sure how often I'd play the upgrade pack's content, and to be frank, I wish they had the team mode as part of a free update instead. I mean, Mario Party 5 thru 8 (and I think 4, as well?) had a team mode right from the get go... that's just a bit silly to essentially charge extra for it.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
Probably just gonna stick with the original game, at least for the time being. If the upgrade pack does go on sale someday, maybe I'll pick it up.
Re: Review: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - A Fantastic Addition To An All-Time Party Game
I wonder if you could play the Carnival Coaster mode online? I'd imagine you could do that with Tag Team, Frenzy Rules, and the mouse minigames.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th July)
@Tyranexx Thanks! I'm loving MKW indeed. And me too... choo choo! 🚂 The bike that Toad's driving is train inspired as well (it's called the Loco Moto). I like your new profile pic also, with Pikachu chilling out on a pool.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th July)
Since I now have a Switch 2, I'll be playing Mario Kart World! I'm having a blast with it! Been playing as Toad quite a lot lately, and I even changed my profile picture to him. He's adorable with his train outfit. Happy gaming, and have a great weekend, everybody.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
@Vortexeo Happy birthday! I hope you had a lovely day.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
This weekend, more of Super Mario Party Jamboree, as well as Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Gonna try to get the remaining bugs for July/August in the latter, I'm only five bugs away from completing the museum. On a side note, not sure if I want to play Splatoon 3 this weekend... I've been getting some terrible luck in the splatfest last night and it's been real frustrating for me.
You all have a great weekend and happy gaming, everybody.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th July)
Super Mario Party Jamboree for me this weekend. Loving the Koopathlon mode and that people are still playing it. I wanna try out the flight school mode too, I finished Toad's Item Factory recently! You all have a great weekend and be sure to stay hydrated.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th June)
I'm back from my vacay, and I had a lovely time. Looks like I'll be playing Super Mario Party Jamboree this weekend! You all have a great weekend and be sure to stay cool and hydrated.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)
Today I will be leaving for a vacation to see my aunt, uncle, and cousins. I'll be playing Super Mario 3D World during my plane trip! I hope you all stay well and everything, and you all have a great weekend.
@shonenjump86 Happy birthday! I hope you have a lovely day and weekend.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (7th June)
I don't have a Switch 2, so more Okami for me. Been making some pretty good progress in that game. You all have a great weekend, everybody... hope you're all enjoying yourselves whether you're playing on Switch 2 or not.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st May)
I'll likely be playing more of Okami HD. Maybe a few rounds of Tetris 99, as well. Also, exactly two weeks from now, I'll be going on vacation to see some loved ones, so I may have to do a bit of prep work for that! Have a great weekend, everybody.
Re: How Well Do You Remember Super Mario Galaxy 2?
12 out of 13 for me. Only got the second question wrong, that one was a bit tricky for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (17th May)
I'll be playing another Capcom game, but it's not Mega Man this time... it's Okami HD. I'm like three hours in as of now. It's got a pretty slow beginning, but I'm really liking the game. Maybe I'll also play like one or two other games as well, but definitely Okami. You all have a great weekend, everybody.
Re: Locomoto Lets You Become The Cutest Train Conductor On Switch This June
As a fan of trains, I'd love to play this! It looks cute and cozy too, and I'm also getting some Animal Crossing vibes from the trailer. I've been wanting a train-related game for my Switch for a good while now! 🚂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd May)
Still working through Mega Man Battle Network 6. Recently I also came back to F-Zero 99, so I'll play some rounds this weekend too. I still wanna get some new bugs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as well. You all have a great weekend.
Re: Switch Users Are Getting Error Codes After Updating To Version 20.0.0
@Serpenterror I have a Mario edition Switch OLED, that one is my main console. The spare one I mentioned is my original one that I got back in 2017. (I didn't get that at launch though.) I remember distinctly that my original model used to have that battery problem where it would look like the battery was draining quickly, but was still working for a long time even at 1%. I've not used the original model in seemingly ages (in other words, it has not been updated for a long time), and it's been looking like it was gonna bite the dust in the past anyway, so I got the OLED. As of this comment, everything's been working OK with my OLED.
Re: Switch Users Are Getting Error Codes After Updating To Version 20.0.0
@speed_loafer From the sounds of it, that error code has apparently been appearing right after updating and automatically restarting. But I don't know for sure, as that code has not happened to me as of now.
Re: Switch Users Are Getting Error Codes After Updating To Version 20.0.0
That doesn't look good. I did update my console and it's been working perfectly for me right now. I just finished playing too. If it helps to know, I don't have any CFW installed or had my Switch modded. I did notice that the Reddit post was two days ago too, so I think I got lucky. But my gosh, this is really scary to think about. Hopefully they'll have a fix for those affected by this soon.
I wonder if I should have my console in sleep mode from now on...? Or is that not necessary? I have a spare Switch that I could try using as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th April)
@Tyranexx For MMBN5, I played Team Colonel, and for MMBN6, I'll be playing through Cybeast Gregar.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th April)
Just finished Mega Man Battle Network 5, and this weekend I kinda wanna start up MMBN6. Just one more game to go in the series. I'll be playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons this weekend too. Have a great weekend, everyone.
