@Edu23XWiiU @AmplifyMJ I love Crysis on Switch. The graphics aren't great, but they get the job done, and I usually find that it's very stable. It's gotten a few patches to reduce crashes. One thing I really like about it is how fast it reloads your last checkpoint after you die.

I really love the open ended gameplay. You can be sneaky and do things quietly or go loud if you want. It's up to you.

I played it the other day and had no crashes, and I had died a lot too.

Doom Eternal and Spec Ops The Line. I really wish I didn't spoil myself on the story of Spec Ops because I'm finding it's greatly hindering my enjoyment of it. But the catch 22 is that had I not read about the story, I never would have had the interest to play it in the first place...

Republic Commando. I even have a little Hasbro action figure of Commando Scorch from way back because I just thought he looked super cool, but I never knew what he was from. I guess I'll have to put him on the table in front of me as I play.

Also I saw Ty the Tasmanian Tiger and got confused thinking it meant Taz the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes.

I had Child of Light on Wii U but barely touched it. At that price I'm tempted to just get it on Switch.

Anyone know if the Assassin's Creed games are worth it at those prices?

Also really wish Ubisoft would bring some of their Tom Clancy games to Switch. What I wouldn't give for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and Blacklist and Ghost Recon Future Solider...

I'm just sad that Mario's 35th came and went with absolutely no recognition of the best Mario game, Galaxy 2. I'm still holding out hope for the future though...

Every day. Even if it's just to check on the progress of my flowers. Trying to make blue roses.

@Yosher I do sorta. I took a screenshot of the video I used where it showed a diagram of the whole process, and I just go by that. As I complete steps, I remove previous steps and just keep it to one pair of flowers as much as I can. As long as I can get the right pair to produce a blue, then I should just be able to start cloning that blue rose from then on out.

@Yosher The guide I'm following only has a test point at the second type of purple rose. You have to breed them with a yellow rose to see if it will produce another yellow rose, and I got two of those which I'm breeding together now to produce the special white rose. As far as I can tell the rest is fairly cut and dry as to what combinations of roses produce what in this sequence I'm following.

@Yosher It's going pretty well so far. I have a guide I'm following to get a 1/4 chance at a blue rose. I just finished producing the two special purple roses I need to produce a special white rose. Once I have that special white rose, I just have to do a few more breeding combinations.

Probably some Animal Crossing and Smash...may also watch some movies. I kind of want to get Kaze and the Wild Masks what with the comparisons to DK Country.

@Oswinner Have fun. DKC2 has a fantastic soundtrack.

I'm working on pretty much the last major thing for my town now which is breeding blue roses and then breeding all the other kinds of hybrid flowers and decorating my town with them. I've put in almost 600 hours I think.

I'm guessing at some point in the future they'll probably drop both parts on Switch at the same time with little buildup like they did with the original release of the Switch version.

Love, love, LOVE the GBA Fire Emblem games. I find they have the most enjoyable stories, art, and animations of all the Fire Emblem games I've played. Sacred Stones is my favorite.

Couldn't be as bad as the other night when my brother in law kept throwing me off the stage. On purpose.

I only started playing on 4/15 last year so I missed this. Nowadays I'm just getting on for a few minutes to do some daily things and water my flowers (trying to make blue roses). I can't imagine this'll be too big of a disruption...

After Galaxy 2 this is my second most wanted Wii game on Switch. I never really had control issues in the original so I'm happy that they'll be even smoother now.

@Miu I also vastly prefer Mythra's Smash Bros design. I think she looks a lot cooler there. Never been overly fond of video game characters showing off a lot of skin, especially when they're always getting into battles...

@ManaOwls I'm sure we will. They've shown no sign of not continuing to make them.

@Mamabear Wait till you reach the last level... actually, it's not TOO bad with plenty of practice, but it is far and away the hardest level in the game. It's harder with toad than any of the other characters.

Doing the usual daily stuff in Animal Crossing including trying to breed blue roses. It's taking forever, but I have a pretty guaranteed route laid out to do it. Other than that, probably some Bit Trip games, and I also finished off all of 3D World and Bowser's Fury so I think it's time to dive into Crash 4 on Switch.

Also doing some online Smash matches. I got an ethernet cable and adapter for my Switch, and I'm enjoying pretty darn stable matches with my mains Greninja, Ike, Wolf, and Sephiroth!

@Vriess HLD is my all time favorite indie game. Have fun!

I'm the epitome of buying games and not finishing them...it's why I'm kind of glad I haven't had any interest so far in this new generation. Gives me more space to actually work on the games I do have.

I remember my dad and brother did this to themselves once in Double Dash on Gamecube. They somehow got the shell and then ended up in first place. They wondered what would happen and...boom! Blue shelled.

@Snatcher Ya know what's weird...I thought Crash 4 was releasing tomorrow, but it already unlocked on my Switch. I checked about 6:30 PM Central.

The thing about ports for me is that if it's a game I like then I already know I enjoy playing it, and I don't have to invest time into playing it until it finally clicks with me. Most new games I don't particularly enjoy from the get-go unless they're just really, really special games. I have to put in some effort up front to get to a point where I'm actually enjoying it. That's obviously not the case with ports of games that I've played before. Plus they give me a chance to play games I missed before. I'd love a port of Spec Ops The Line, though I suppose I could dust off my PS3 and buy it on there.

Crash 4 me!

Probably not much for me. I already played a ridiculous number of Mario games last year, and I just 100% completed both modes of 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

@Toads-Friend Thanks for your input! However, it sounds like there's not a lot of single player content and also not many people online anymore...That kind of deters me from getting it.

@MortalKombat2007 It never works unfortunately. ☹️

@MorganWhoop Not that I remember. I do remember it having Mario and Geno at least. The place they were in was kind of dark and foggy and had brown vegetation like it was in the middle of Autumn. In fact the whole overworld map had that sort of darkness to it.

@TheBigK Partners in Time and Dream Team are really good if you get around to them. Dream Team annoys me with how many tutorials it has and how long a lot of things take in battle, but overall it's worth it. It's really good if you can stomach all the padding.

I actually had a dream recently that I was playing a direct sequel to this game. It had the exact same art style and sound design. Bit of a bummer to wake up from that dream.

@Alienfreaks04 Oh I agree. I remember my brother got up to like the highest level in tournaments trying to unlock everything in the game on the Gamecube Mario Tennis. Every single time he'd almost beat Peach she'd just use a super attack and block it. Every. Single. Time.

@electrolite77 I liked the N64 one where they introduced Waluigi. I also liked the Gamecube Tennis and Golf games where the intro cinematics had Wario and Waluigi getting up to all sorts of no good.

@suikoden Yeah, so far the message everybody is sending me is that it's fun with friends but not for single player. I'm almost exclusively a single player so I'll avoid.

@Franklin Duly noted. Sounds like I'll be skipping it.

@Jedge396 Okay, so maybe it's not worth it for me since I'm 99% a single player...thanks for the input!

Can anybody vouch for Mario Tennis Aces? I'm kind of interested, but even at the sale price I'm not sure...kind of wanted to hear from the community on this one.

@Shambo You nailed the whole experience right down to the "What's with the cameras?". The first soldier in that mission must have multiverse related PTSD too. I killed him so many times I even started referring to him by his name (believe it was Arnaulf) that he has if you look at him through your binoculars. RIP, many versions of Arnaulf. You did the Allies a great service.

Oh and I also really enjoy Snake Pass! I 100%ed it on PS4, and I've been working through it off and on on Switch. It's a hard control scheme to wrap your head around, but once you have it, you can do some pretty impressive things!

@Snatcher Eh...I dunno. Does the N.Sane Trilogy even count relics towards your overall completion percentage?

I guess personally I'm just gonna keep playing until I get bored. I'll shoot for getting everything in this game, but only as long as I'm having fun. Though knowing how stubborn I am, I might keep playing anyway. I say you do what you want and don't force yourself to keep playing if you don't want to.

Personally though, I have never really enjoyed time trials challenges in anything. Doesn't even matter what kind of game it is. If I'm racing a clock, I'm probably not having a lot of fun. It's why I didn't bother with the relics in N.Sane Trilogy.

I'm glad I at least just finished polishing off 3D World and Bowser's Fury. I didn't really want to be working on two big platformers simultaneously.

@Snatcher I 100%ed the N.Sane Trilogy (minus time trial relics) on both PS4 and Switch so I think I'm good there!

@TheLightSpirit Forty years? Oh boy, I am in for it...

@Shambo That's how I did nearly all the weapon upgrade challenges. Had a whole system worked out where I used my first quick save slot to put me right behind the first guard for challenges requiring precise kills, the third slot for saving before the first truck in the first mission drives up so I could either shoot from the tower or get up close depending on the weapon challenge, and the second save slot for quickly spawning back into one of those two positions. It still took me about 25 hours total to master all that stuff...

@TheLightSpirit Well I've been playing platformers for 21 ish years since I was 5 so...I believe I got the experience! Even if it is painful.

@Shambo We have similar experiences with Sniper Elite 4 and New Super Lucky's Tale. I also went for 100% with Lucky because I loved the game so much. In Sniper Elite 4, I also unlocked all the DLC and non DLC skins and all the costumes that didn't require you to play multiplayer. It took forever mastering all those weapons...at some point I also want to go find all collectibles, do all challenges, and do all optional objectives and beat everything on the highest difficulty, but that's gonna be a pretty big undertaking.

@Altina I'd love to do that, but geez, 1000 hours. I haven't even started Hyrule Warriors yet.

@Snatcher We can? Uh I mean...sure, no problem.

@PBandSmelly I'm stubborn and have a lot of pride when it comes to 100%ing tough platformers. Hoo boy...wish me luck.

I have this game on PS4, and I'm still super excited for the Switch version. Already finished 3D World and working on postgame for Bowser's Fury so I should be ready.

@PBandSmelly Five times per level...I just did that in 3D World. It doesn't require perfection, but it sure got repetitive. I know you can add extra controllers to beat the levels with more than one character, but I'm too stubborn. Champion's Road was awful with Toad.

@BloodNinja Me too. Had it a while but haven't really touched it...guess I like to wait until developers are done patching so I can just enjoy the most finished and bugless version. Also I was waiting for them to add playable Zangetsu.

Last weekend I finally polished off 3D World and completed every single level with all characters. So now I'm working on Bowser's Fury. I imagine there will also be some Animal Crossing, some Smash Ultimate, and some Bit Trip games this weekend.

@MrGuinea It might or might not be faster. The destination is random.

@Beaucine Totally agree with you. Games being locked to particular systems is what's making it harder and harder for me to get excited for console games as I get older. I don't want my current favorite Switch and 3DS games to become unplayable some day because the hardware is obsolete and failing due to age. It's a big reason I'm hoping Nintendo adopts an upgrade model with the Switch and releases a better model every few years that's still backwards compatible with the previous models (not likely I fear, unfortunately). If they release a new model that's not backwards compatible, and we just have to start from scratch...well, I guess I'll use PC exclusively. I didn't think about this kind of stuff as a kid, but now I don't want to invest in games that I won't be able to play when the hardware becomes obsolete and eventually dies. I want my collection to always be available as much as possible.

@rjejr As we discussed in a previous article, it actually did solve my incline problem. I can come and go from my house without having to use my ladder now.
