I’ll start my first playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Some Salmon Run waves in Splatoon 2 and test my online skills in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Coincidence? I think not.
@Compubraim I went for it on the Switch day one because I was so excited for this game. But I totally agree with your comment. I’m a couple of hours in and I’m still trying to figure out how this game exactly works.
Already countless instant deaths and I’ve been stuck too where the only solution was to close the game and start over. Also, yeah, the first dungeon was kinda hard with no clues where to go or what to do. That’s probably my biggest problem so far. There I was, facing the first dungeon without knowing anything about the story or background.
The music and visuals are great and I’ll continue this game because I really want to love it and give it a chance. But if things keep going like this it’s going to be a tough 50 hours, which de developers said it’s going to take to complete the game…
@BananaMetallurgica Only an hour in but I like what I’ve done so far. Can’t say too much of it yet. Only thing I dislike is that you’re instant Game Over when you fall from a certain height. Which happens a lot to me. You’ll restart at the same room but still. Immediate game over is a little harsh. Graphics and music are great!
Though I’m progressing smoothly with Skyward Sword HD I think I’ll be playing some online matches tonight like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and Smash Bros Ultimate.
I literally just bought Horace last week on sale because of all the positive reactions here on NL! Can’t go wrong for € 1,49. But didn’t see the 5GB download coming haha.
I liked G.I. Joe very much in the 90’s. I played a lot with the figurines and stuff. So I was quite excited about this. But.. it’s not what I expected. It’s pretty bland and standard. Not much going on. It’s not bad by all means, I’m still having fun, but I wish I hadn’t bought it for €40 on release....
@Gamerboy19 I’ve finished two streamers so far. I just entered the desert. The game is funny so far but I’m definitely not going for 100%. Still lots to do!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 26th)
Continuing Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
I’m only at the second chapter, but the cutscenes really suck me into the story!

I’ll start my first playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Some Salmon Run waves in Splatoon 2 and test my online skills in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Coincidence? I think not.
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 9th February 2022
I’m guessing:
Splatoon 3
The sequel to BotW
Kirby and the Forgotten Lands
Bayonetta 3
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
And in terms of a few surprises a new Donkey Kong Country and sequel to Astral Chain would be awesome!
(Hype is real).

Re: Nintendo Announces Huge Switch Sale, More Than 1,000 Games To Be Discounted

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 15th)
About to wrap up Mario + Rabbids tonight.
I’m at the last levels of World 4 though some battles take quite some time to complete!
Re: Talking Point: Great Game, Poor Performance - When Does A Bad Frame Rate Not Really Matter?
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity got a lot of hate but I really enjoyed that game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 27th)
Working my way through Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity DLC.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 23rd)

Re: PlatinumGames' Hideki Kamiya: Bayonetta 3 Will 'Exceed All Your Expectations'
That witch time part was goosebumps!
But what about Lappy from Astral Chain?
Was that a tease for a sequel?!
Re: Talking Point: Just How 'Finished' Is Your Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Save File?
I’ve 100% it on both Wii U and Switch.
Including both DLC’s.
But I haven’t done much side quests or upgraded armor.
But hey, it says 100%. So I’m good.
Re: Platinum's Switch Exclusive Astral Chain Celebrates Its Second Anniversary
Absolutely love this game!
The combat is amazing once you master the controls and pulling off combo’s.
I’m happy with my collectors edition.
Also, the music is great too.
The three Jena Anderson tracks are pure gold!
Can’t get enough of them.

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Players Report Language-Specific Glitch That Ruins The Final Boss
I’m Dutch but I never change the language because it always turns out in a very silly and awkward translation.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Switch OLED Or Valve Steam Deck?
Nintendo only for me.
Oled pre ordered ✔️
Re: Unique Puzzler Labyrinth City: Pierre And The Maze Detective Is Out Today On Switch
Got this for my daughter. She loves the books.
Think this will be pretty fun!

Mario + Rabbids
BotW (Korok hunting)
Age of Calamity DLC
Bayonetta 2
If I’ve been given the gift of time.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass Kicks Off This Week

Finished Bayonetta this morning. Think I’ll start up Bayo 2 next!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 8th)
Continuing File 12 of Astral Chain.
Olive’s Cases are getting pretty intense and I’m only halfway through the 70+ missions.
Re: Baldo: The Guardian Owls Gets Gorgeous New Footage, Still Slated For Switch 'Soon'
This is good news!
Been waiting a long time for Baldo to release.
Sure looks like fun.
Day one for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 13th)
I’m about to wrap things up and finish Immortals Fenyx Rising but I’ve been hearing that the last vault is a real pain..
Re: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest Takes Place This Weekend, Pick Your Power-Up
I’m going for the underdog: Team Super Mushroom.
Re: Feature: The Best Hidden Gems And Overlooked Switch Games Of 2020
I literally just bought Horace last week on sale because of all the positive reactions here on NL!
Can’t go wrong for € 1,49.
But didn’t see the 5GB download coming haha.
Haven’t played it yet, but it’s very appealing!
Re: Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince Is Getting A Story-Driven DLC Campaign
I liked the first three games and got Trine 4 on release date but haven’t touched it yet. But I think I’ll like it better than Trine 3.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite SNES Games
Please NL, I’ve got a job, you know
Re: Guide: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For November And December 2020

Re: Poll: Splatoon 2's Spooky Splatfest Is Underway, Which Side Are You Fighting For?
I’m on Team Treat for this one.
Gimme the sugar.
Re: Review: G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout - Bland, Forgettable Saturday Morning Fare
I liked G.I. Joe very much in the 90’s. I played a lot with the figurines and stuff. So I was quite excited about this.
But.. it’s not what I expected. It’s pretty bland and standard. Not much going on.
It’s not bad by all means, I’m still having fun, but I wish I hadn’t bought it for €40 on release....
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 24th)
@Gamerboy19 I’ve finished two streamers so far. I just entered the desert.
The game is funny so far but I’m definitely not going for 100%.
Still lots to do!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 24th)
Probably The Red Lantern, Pokémon Sword, Paper Mario OK and G.I.Joe Operation Blackout.
Re: Reminder: The Pokémon Sword And Shield Theme Returns To Tetris 99 This Weekend
I’ll bet there will be a Hyrule Warriors themed one when Age of Calamity releases.
I’m only missing the first theme: the GameBoy one.
I don’t understand why RingFit etc gets repeated instead of the first few.
Re: Random: Sakurai Didn't Appreciate The "Rough" Comments During TGS, So He Decided To Turn Them Off
The chats are childish and exhausting. I always turn it off.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 10th)
I’ll start G.I. Joe Operation Blackout tonight.
Game arrived today!
And maybe I’ll continue Paper Mario The Origami King and work around that yellow streamer.
Re: "Dog-Sledding Survival Game" The Red Lantern Launches On Switch This Month
Been waiting for this since the announcement back in early 2019.
Looks good! Got some Firewatch vibes from this.
Except.. snow😅
Re: Video: 17 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In October
Am I the only one who pre ordered G.I.Joe Operation Blackout on 13th Oct?
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter To Be Revealed Tomorrow, 1st October
Maybe Impa?
Or else the Akira Howard twins from Astral Chain please!
Re: Splatoon 2's Mario-Themed Splatfest T-Shirts Can Now Be Bought In Real Life (Europe)
Ugh, I really need to get myself a creditcard!
They should make these purchases easier.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 12th)
Trying to wrap up Xenoblade DE before 3D All Stars is here. But the boss at chapter 14 is holding me back.. 😭
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Fall/Winter Games - All The Big Games Coming In 2020, And Beyond
Why is everyone overlooking G.I.Joe Operation Blackout in October? 😅 I’ve got my copy preordered.
Re: Baldo's Release Date Has Changed From This Summer To 'TBD'
This sucks.
Was really looking forward to Baldo.
I saw it coming though. Haven’t heard anything about it since March. That last Indie showcase didn’t mention anything either.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 5th)
Gotta hurry up with Xenoblade now MARIO 3D will take over in two weeks!
Re: "Strong Possibility" Of A Nintendo Broadcast Next Week, Suggests Industry Insider
Imagine there IS a Direct this Friday but it doesn’t include any news on BotW 2..
Re: The Splatoon 2 Chicken VS. Egg Splatfest Is Officially Underway
Had a lot of fun during the last Splatfest!
So yeah! I’m playing a lot of Splatoon 2 this weekend!
Re: Video: First 4 Figures Unboxes Its Huge (And Very Expensive) Mario And Yoshi Statue
They look awesome!
But why is it so ridiculously pricey?
$100 would be fair enough.
