This is one game that has been on my radar for a while now, and seeing it receive new content is fantastic. That will make it all the sweeter when I finally dip my toes in and give it a try.
I am pretty amazed that one of my favorite games from my childhood is getting new content so many years later. I haven't played D2 since the early 2000's and I sometimes wonder if I would still enjoy the game now as much as I did back in my youth.
I hope my current set last a long time. A set of these Joy-Cons is just so darn expensive, and it doesn't help that the new colors are barely noticeable in my opinion.
This game is sounding more promising by the hour! I am almost sold on it at this point. I mainly will just need to secure funds when I can so I can inevitably play it some day.
Unfortunately I haven't played any of those games, so I will be missing out on any promotional material. I will be playing The Adventures of Elliott: The Millennium Tales though!
The fact that the game references Viva Piñata is a pretty big selling point for me! I originally wasn't considering this game, but after that comparison in mechanics, I am quite a bit more interested.
This game never stops giving! I truly respect the developers for the level of effort they are putting in! There always seems to be something interesting to do in this game.
It is hard to complain about good free DLC! It has been a while since I have played a Sonic Racing game. This one would probably be my best jumping back in point if I ever did!
I don't live in Europe, so I definitely won't be attending. That being said, I do really like the color palette they chose for the box art of this game. It is super inviting and makes me want to play. I wonder how much depth this game will have for people that sink some serious hours into it.
I don't usually playing games like these online so I imagine that the content would seem pretty light for a solo player like me. I also have never been a huge fan of the character themed special moves. They always seemed super gimmicky to me and I always played with normal tennis rules when possible. I'll probably pass on this one unless it drops ludicrously low in price.
I personally don't have a ton of interest in playing any Virtual Boy games myself. This system never was nostalgic for me when I was younger though I did have a headset that had a similar vibe. I can't remember what it was called but it was always fun to mess with. I wonder if I still have it somewhere!
I'll have to check out this one! I just recently installed the Nintendo Music app, so I haven't experienced everything it has to offer yet. Some of the music on there is great for my bedtime routine. They even have collections specifically for sleep and timers you can set for the music to automatically stop.
I honestly really like the cover art for those magazines. I can just imagine someone sealing copies of those magazines away for the inevitable collector hype 40 years from now. Everything Pokemon related seems to be collectible.
For me personally, I would say a straight up 7 on the rating scale makes the most sense. There wasn't much to be truly standout for me, but there was a solid amount of variety. You definitely could have done worse. Most people hope for at least one killer new Nintendo IP entry.
Not that I agree with it, I am certainly not surprised with this outcome. I expect many more companies to do the same thing, regardless of if it makes since or not.
I am super stoked about this movie! I have seen the first one so many times and I am truly looking forward to finding more epic Easter eggs in this movie as well.
I am honestly pretty late to the party but I have been playing Stardew Valley on Steam Deck OLED and Metal Gear Solid 5 on PS5. Pretty epic and different styles of games, and that is just the way I like it!
Happy gaming everyone, even if your work week has started!
@Dpishere I really respect your opinion here man. I don't hold my hopes too highly for another update, but I am glad you are enjoying the game. I feel like I would be in the same mindset as you if I was playing it.
I am honestly only really interested in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Like many people, I already have Super Mario Galaxy 1 from a separate bundle. I can't really justify that price at this point.
I can't think of too many games that have this consistent of content updates that I actually play. I am not sure when I would get around to experiencing the new update since I am playing other things but updates like these are what pushed Stardew Valley into being an evergreen type of game.
The main character honestly looks a little weird to me. I don't think I would be able to get over the overall design. I would rather just play Sonic Mania for the millionth time.
I recently purchased No Man's Sky on Steam Deck OLED and I will be mainly playing that this weekend. I will also be playing some Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2. As always, happy gaming everyone!
This one was pretty difficult for me. For me, each box art had its own vibe, and I really couldn't make up my decision. I chose the North American variant though.
I had previously added to this game to my wish list on Steam, but now I'm kind of changing my mind. The game still looks good, but I'm not sure if it's quite up my alley.
I am honestly not certain if I'll be playing very many games this weekend. I haven't really been on a gaming kick lately. If anything, I might play Fire Emblem: Three Houses. As always, happy gaming everyone!
For me, this one is an easy choice. The Japanese variant is a little bit too basic for my eyes. That being said, the North American/European variant isn't really much better except for the colors. Neither one of them really showcase what the games are about. First one gets my vote.
I recently have been playing Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the first time and I'm having a blast. I purchased the game on Black Friday at Walmart years ago and I still had the game in its plastic wrap. It took me long enough to get around to playing the game but I'm glad I am! Happy gaming everyone for however much of your weekend is left!
My Nintendo Switch 2 hardly leaves its dock so this is definitely a non-issue for me. I don't usually play my game systems outside in the first place. A gentle reminder is always a good thing though for those that need it.
I haven't even heard of a good chunk of the games in this article. I am really glad so many games are getting Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade patches so quickly though.
Like many other people have said, I will definitely be playing Donkey Kong Bonanza. This game seems to get better as you deeper in the game. Happy gaming everyone!
Donkey Kong Bonanza has been a blast for me. I still haven't fought the final boss yet due to time constraints, but honestly that is exactly how I like it. I get to enjoy this game for longer stretches of time. And I'll probably never stop putting out comparisons between Donkey Kong Bonanza and Super Mario Odyssey. That being said, they are both very different beasts in core gameplay.
I honestly wasn't super impressed, though they did showcase some solid titles. I was just expecting a little bit more pizazz in comparison to what we got.
My brother was just telling me about this upgrade earlier today. In my opinion, the Nintendo Switch version needed it pretty badly. I still think I will probably end up playing this game on my Steam Deck OLED instead though.
I honestly don't have expectations but I am expecting some new titles and remasters/remakes of older titles. I am more interested in newer content versus remakes. As long as I get a few of those, I will be happy. Maybe even some more Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades for current games as well would be nice.
This is a pretty sizable update to be honest. I am pretty pleased with the fixes and changes overall. I am sure there is more to come in the future as well.
I am still planning on getting one myself. I just didn't have the money at the time. That being said, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller I have is still going strong for the most part.
Common sense could have avoided this entire scenario. I honestly was disappointed myself that the cartridge wasn't yellow, but I wouldn't have gone this far. I am glad he was able to get the cartridge out.
