@Tyranexx
Thanks.
Appreciate the kind words.

I don't think I'll ever stop collecting though.
It's in my veins
😜

@beltmenot
Haha, thanks.
Taken a lot of years.

@Yalloo
Thanks for the kind words.

Yeah, I'm pretty keen to hook in.
Been a long time in the making.😁

@Friendly
Thanks
Appreciate it.
I love gaming.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks have been busy.

I finally put all my games up into my new cabinets in my new games room.
My complete Pal N64 cib collection is all put away, and I finally built my arcade cabinets as well.
Just got to set up my lights and top shelves.
Heres a link, let me know what you think.

I also finished Lost Epic.
Absolutely loved this game. A huge Metroidvania with some excellent fighting and combat mechanics that puts some so called dedicated fighters to shame.

Also started Vigil: The Longest Night.
Really enjoying it, a great Metroidvania that has a huge map and heaps of weapons. Great stuff.

Also plodding along with Cyberpunk 2077. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Already have the physical copy of this preordered along with Pipistrello and Shadow Labyrinth Secret Edition.

I'm good thanks Nintendo.
I still have my Cube plus over 80 games ready to play.

Played Geist yesterday.
Under-rated game.
Glad others get to enjoy the games, albeit at a snails pace

@Jedrus_Lilac
Yeah definitely lol.

@Jedrus_Lilac it happened.
There are physical editions from Premium Edition Games

@NImH
I bought the Deluxe Edition from Premium Edition.
Their products are beautiful.

Heres a link for the different editions.

Worth the wait.

Great time for everyone

Well that is a shock to the system.

Hey everyone.
This week I've played more MarioKart World to the surprise of nobody.

Finished Cookie Cutter Overkill Edition.
An excellent game with some great humour and very adult themes.
Highly recommended if you are looking for a great Metroidvania.

Played some more Mario RPG, really enjoying it.

Also started Lost Epic.
A very deep Metroidvania with rpg mechanics and some great fighting combinations. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Have a great weekend everyone

Looks like more shadow than drop.

This game clearly has a time travel theme and we're all well behind.

Maye it's out now somewhere else in the timeline.

Fixing crashes in a racing game, Burnout would not be happy
😜

First thing I do is turn rumble off on any console.
A feature I've never missed.

Hey everyone.
Hope you all had fun with your Switch 2 this week, I know I have.

This week my family and I put in some stupid hours into Mario kart world, we've been having a great time every night this week.

I'd say I got to play some more Cyberpunk 2077 as well but since my eldest daughter is addicted to MKW I've had to wait.
Thankfully my S1 is still on our big screen so while she plays yet another game of MKW I've been playing some more of Ultros, chipping away at it.

I also started the excellent Cookie Cutter Overkill Edition, this game is amazing. Absolutely highly recommended if you like a very good Metroidvania.

We've also played some more of Mario RPG but not a lot since the S2 arrived.

We've need to get back into Hello Kitty Island Adventure, we might try them all on the S2 once were allowed to steal it back off my daughter.

Have a great weekend everyone.

I'm excited.
It helps that I love Metroidvania's and no, I haven't got sick of them.
Keep em coming

Hey everyone.
I had a very busy week this week

I had my birthday on Monday, received my Switch 2 on Thursday and played lots of games and my 2 new cabinets arrived so I can finally put my CIB Pal N64 collection up on display to play like they deserve. All 244+ of them.

This week I finished Catmaze , a cute little Metroidvania.
It was good, nothing amazing but still very enjoyable.

Also started Ultros.
Love the art style and mix of gardening with the usual Metroidvania elements.

Also played some more Hello Kitty Island Adventure with the family, good relaxing fun.

Also started Mario RPG.
What an excellent game, so much fun.

Finally set up my new Switch 2 and played some Cyberpunk 2077.
Looks stunning and I love the freedom.
Great start.
It wouldn't be a Switch 2 party without Mario Kart World.
The family and I are having a blast, great fun and I love the free roaming.

Have a great weekend everyone, I plan to

Somebody think of the planet.
Seriously, waste of plastic.

Lame, Lame Bond.

I kid.
Looks ok.

Forever docked.

Fixed.

I'll be checking out my GameCube games on my GameCube.

@Teksette
Thanks.
I plan to.

Us oldies are the pioneers of gaming 😁

@AmplifyMJ
Thankyou.
It's going to be a great week.

Hey everyone.
This week I finished Ender Magnolia.
What a beautiful game.
Played it on hard and got the good ending. Took me 40 hours to get 100% completion.
Loved every minute of it.

Also started Catmaze.
A cute little Metroidvania from the same developer as Fearmonium which I also enjoyed.

Also started Hello Kitty Island Adventure with the family.
This game has surprised me at how good it actually is, really enjoying it.

Set up my new games room this week.
Finished 2 of my 4 cabinets with my Switch collection, Cube, Wii, Wii U, 360 and PS4 collections.
Still have my N64 games and consoles to go.

It's my 55th birthday on Monday so I have a big week planned thanks to Nintendo releasing the Switch 2 to celebrate my birthday 🤪

Have a great weekend everyone, I know I will.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I finished Mindsieze.
Absolutely loved this game, a great Metroidvania that knows exactly what it is and does so with so much love and polish that shines throughout the whole game. Excellent game.

I also started 9 Years of Shadows/Bugs.
Man, this game is such a disappointment. Not the actual game itself but the amount of bugs that this game is riddled with. This is the worst, most bug infested release from LRG ever.
I've been playing it on and off for the last 3 weeks for a total of around 10 hours and I've had over 30+ bugs!
From softlocks (the most common), to health that just disappears and can't be replenished, game freezes, sound locks, and even bosses that reappeared after I defeated them. I've had to play this game in blocks as I would otherwise flush the cart down the toilet in rage if I didn't. Such a shame.

Anyway, I've also started Ender Magnolia.
What a stark contrast to 9 Years of Pain, such a polished, beautiful game that I absolutely love. Absolutely amazing game so far.

Have a great weekend everyone.

This is udderly ridiculous.
I love it.

This si the equivalent of releasing a movie on a Blu Ray disc that takes you to Netflix to watch it.
Pointless.

Bought this for my wife's birthday present which doesn't happen until next week so she will have more game to play already right from the start.
Good to hear.

Personally, I am pretty excited too.

Hey everyone.
The last couple of weeks I've finished a couple of games and started a new one.
I finished Silver Axe:The Honest Elf.
A great little Metroidvania with a good little story that I enjoyed a fair bit.

Also finished Rusty Rabbit.
Put in over 40 hours and 100% it.
Great game that I highly recommend, especially if you're after a Metroidvania with a great story. Opened NG+ as well. Heaps of content. Great stuff.

Started 9 Years of Shadows, really enjoying it so far.

Also put more money down on my Switch 2 preorder and also pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077.
Can't wait to hook into my new console.
Bring in my Birthday, well, 3 days after it.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Fair dinkum, dead set, this is gonna be a real ripsnorter. Can't wait to crack this beauty etc etc.

We don't actually talk like that here in Australia but it wouldn't have surprised me if they did.

I don't watch AFL, I watch NRL so those guys mean nothing.

Still, I don't need ads to have mine pre-ordered.

Glad they're getting the word out there to those casuals though.

Physical versions here in Australia are usually cheaper than their digital versions so I always buy physical. I am so glad this game is full on cart. I wish Elden Ring was. I'll wait for that one and hopefully in the future we get an actual physical copy.

Pulled the trigger asap on Cyberpunk though, gotta support their decision to give us the game on cart and the bonus goodies sounds great.

Grabbing the CE..
Can't wait

I can also confirm that I will be buying most of them.
Now if they put more games actually on the cart they would have more sales from me.

@MrGawain
ZombiU was actually a Wii U Release and then ported to other consoles.
Arkham was and still is best on Wii U with Wii U exclusive features.
Mass Effect is also a lot better on Wii U.

If they release 3rd party games with the same sort of effort then I'll definitely support it like I did on Wii U.
I doubt it though

Playasia has the Switch 2 version as a code in a box
https://www.play-asia.com/shadow-labyrinth-code-in-a-box-multi-language/13/70iguh

Music.
While we wait for it to load through all the jank.

Colour?
Couldn't care less.

Coins,
To thank us loyal users for making Nintendo what it is today.

Oh that's right, they couldn't care less either.😜

@Willo567
Launch day OG.

Just got it now. Sort it out Nintendo.

Was playing it this morning and put it to sleep. When I started it up I got the error message.

I buy the eShop gift cards when they're on sale. More $$ for less.
Now they just need to refresh the actual eShop itself

So laziness is the new norm.

Slap it in some compression pants.

Works for me.😁

It will be Winter here in Australia.
So I'll be taking it into the lounge in front of the fire.

Way too cold for a roof top party.

Who am I kidding, I live in Queensland, where even our Winter is warmer than most parts.

@TYRANACLES
Yeah your character does move slowly yet his jumps are a bit floaty which doesn't really suit the weight your character has. It is still very good, I found that holding down whilst pressing A which produces a slide is the quickest way around the slow character movement. Spamming it makes you move so much quicker and is a great workaround. It is still an excellent game and like I said, sliding is the quickest way to get anywhere. If I had to give it a rating I would say it is a solid 7, 8 if you like action platformerrs with some great pixel art and excellent orchestral background music.

Hey everyone.
This week I finished Beyond the Ice Palace 2.
A great action platformerr with Metroidvania elements. Some beautiful pixel art and great soundtrack. Really enjoyed it.

Started Silver Axe: The Honest Elf.
A very cute wholesome Metroidvania.
It's very good so far.

I also have Rusty Rabbit, Ender Magnolia, Catmaze, Lost Epic and 9 Years of Shadow on the way so I'll have gaming to do in the next few weeks

I'm glad my suggestion made it through. Thankyou.
Twilight Monk really is gorgeous and plays so smoothly on Switch.

Sanabi is also brilliant.
I'll be grabbing Guns of Fury next.

Twilight Monk

A beautiful Metroidvania that is extremely high quality.

Hey everyone.

This week I got up to the last boss in Anyaroth The Queens Tyranny which I'm renaming to Anyaroth The Cramps Tyranny due to the game having no options for the pro controller forcing me to play it using the joycons in the cradle. It is ridiculous and makes the game painful to play.

My copy of Beyond the Ice Palace 2 arrived so I hooked into that and I'm really enjoying it. If you like Castlevania then I recommend this.

I also grabbed Mini Ghost on sale and started that as well. I loved Ghost 1.0 and this is a smaller version of that so I'm sure I'll enjoy it .

My copies of The Messenger, Tevi and Silver Axe also arrived so I'll be getting straight into those as well.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Everybody on Switch 2 was Gunfu fighting!
Tra la la la la, la la la lahhh

I have a 55" Toshiba 4K tv.
It has HDR, HDR10 and HDR10+.
It also is native 144hz with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) for gaming. Highly recommended

Too selling brand in Japan for a reason.
