I’ll grab big man solo if I can, to go with my other big man

Finally wrapped unicorn overload last week or two ago. Fantastic game and loved my time with it. Next is Trails in the sky FC remake. Enjoying my time but I may have got myself stuck we’ll see. And then I wasn’t gonna cave in, was planning on waiting for a while till I bought it, but I picked up pokopia. My friends mom works at Walmart and I got a 20% discount on it, so I felt it was acceptable not paying full price for a game key card

I read the first two books and absolutely loved them, and then just never read more. They read as addictively as dungeon crawler Carl, for me personally.

@solarwolf07 oh that’s crazy I haven’t found that out yet. I went back home months ago and brought my oled instead of my 2 just cause i didn’t want to bring a dock and my friends don’t have the 2 yet. They are all obsessed with towerfall so I got lucky I brought the oled. It’s literally the only thing that group of my friends wants to play

Didn’t expect this! It looks nice, but I played the original already for 20 hours and moved on. I’d sooner just go back to it than buy a new one.

@jfp ok perfect, thank you so much for the reply. Exactly the info I wanted to know

@jfp could you tell me if local multiplayer is played on one single screen, like n64 Mario tennis, or in split screen, so each player has a pov behind their character. Haven’t seen an answer for this anywhere. I prefer the former but if there was an in game option for it that would be amazing.

@foursider except that smb1 has the worst sleepy sounds of all the alarms. It’s just way too repetitive.

I always thought, and was excited for, digital games to be cheaper than physical counterparts when online stores started to exist (ps3). And then was so disappointed when the price was the same. Like it doesn’t really make sense when there is no product being created and shipped and all those logistics for it to cost the same. It made me enjoy physical games more honestly. Cool tho that now digital games are cheaper on day 1

I bought REmake on switch years ago to start this journey… Still waiting for the journey to start. lol. I also bought the 4,5,6 collection for ps3 on sale lightyears ago and never started them. One day. Maybe I’ll start REmake as I work to finish unicorn overlord

I finished Pokemon y last week, at least in terms of Pokemon league and champion diantha. (Probopass, espeon, bellosom, aegislash, Azumarill, and charizard) the charizard was out of character for me. I’m still playing unicorn overlord. Like 54% of the map uncovered. Ordered trails in the sky fc on sale, since second chapter was announced, here we go. I adored the couple hours of the demo so I’m excited for that. I saw 1 gkc at Walmart for pokopia and passed on it even thought I really want to play it.

I pulled shiny Latias and latios in fantastical parade and was very pleased. Bring on more shinies

@KayFiOS ya you’re right. A calendar of in game events on Nintendo life, for basically anything on switch would be cool. Hard to be all encompassing tho I suppose. But first party releases like air riders should be very attainable surely

Anyone play this online recently? With friends or people they know. I remember trying to set up an online match in the first year of release and matchmaking with friends was almost impossible to get working. Like it almost felt randomized

@KayFiOS I don’t think we need to be worried about Nintendo not giving us more splatoon. It is so popular. And I’m pretty sure you can still get matches in splatoon 2 much like people were still playing the og until the end of Wiiu online functionality. It’s great that splatfests are still going. And I’m quite positive any and all splatoon games for switch 2 are gonna be awesome as well

Also in the camp of “boomer shooter” = shooters that go boom (and first person and of ‘an era’)

Gonna turn it on for unicorn overlord right away here. It’s already a beautiful game and runs great but it’s the switch 1 game I’m playing right now. Probably won’t be replaying xc2 anytime soon, but so rad if it improves that one, however, I still haven’t played torna. Might be a good time to play torna

Oh and I voted NA. The “SLAM” on the European cover is pretty much the exact same font as the SLAM magazine cover font… I like Mario hoops better

This game made me fear for the health of my ds touch screen, but such a great game as a young basketball player myself

I think I liked playing this one, I definitely finished it, but don’t remember exactly how I felt about it. And I didn’t play it till post 2020 for sure, not on release

That trailer ruined my favourite JVB song gross

I wished I lived near a eb games so I could constantly check for secret sales and get this series of amiibo on heavy discount. Last time I was in one was after Christmas and both Kirby and bandana waddle Dee were like maybe 30 or 40 ish percent off and I didn’t buy em. Like I don’t need them, but I still have regrets lol

Will pick this up asap! Didn’t realize it was a continuation of the animated series. That is awesome, brb gonna go rewatch it before playing this.

Opened my VB last weekend and got half an hour of pinball and wario land. Cannot wait to try out Mario’s tennis once I’m home from work. I still can’t believe I’m playing virtual boy lol, I love it. Bring on the games

My ds phat still goes and a friend gifted me an absolutely mint condition ds lite maybe 4 years ago and it works great and probably still has a charge. I played chrono trigger for the first time on that ds lite and it was wonderful

Got red for Christmas 98 with a neon green gameboy colour. Can’t vote for any other gen

Winners I voted for were chandelure and mimikyu, between the two I voted mimikyu

Grass chicken! I also like to hold off on seeing the evos if I can.

Grass chicken!

My favourite is my gold Link between worlds 3ds xl. I never upgraded to a “new” model since I went from the og 3ds to that special edition. Love that system

I bought a snowboard kids toque from fan gamer and I love it so much.

Bellibolt for me, mabostiff and ceruledge honourable mention

It’s tempting but my gba copy of leaf green is still perfect and good enough for me (and still cib). Especially playing it on my basically matching jungle green analogue pocket.

@PushMyGran86 my ps5 is also gathering dust. My year in review or whatever for 2025 was 24 hours played and it was all rock band 4 cause of the delist so I bought it for the first time and went and got all my plastic instruments from home. Meanwhile switch family got some like 600 hours of playtime or something. One day a game will draw me back to ps5. (I bought the thing for hogwarts legacy basically)

@KingMike the NA/EU also says gameboy twice, or is the sarcasm directed at the fact NA/eu GAMEBOY is so big on the side? And smaller for the Japan cover. I’m missing something in this joke lol.

Went with Japan. Love the hand drawn art in that one

Oh don’t let me forget about galarian wheezing and grapploct too!

Voted toxtricity, but this one is hard. Easily could have been rillaboom, galarian obstagoon, hmmmm seems to be a band theme going. Not picking rillaboom was hard as someone who plays drums. Oh but also dragapult

Still working on unicorn overlord, and some Pokemon y on the side. Got some games in the mail from VGP, hundred line and Pokemon moon, so excited for those but won’t start them yet. The xenoblade x resurgence in popularity is awesome to see but I finished it on my switch 2 already and don’t need to check back in just yet

Mimikyu, but next up would be bewear and decidueye. I just got a physical copy of moon for msrp in the mail. Pretty happy about that.

This is cool, but I don’t need to pick it up as I still have my gba copy and play it regularly

Wow amazing birthday surprise! Hope the rest of the xenoblades get an upgrade too. This is so sick

Chandelure also litwick

Holy crap I didn’t realise how much I adore gen 4 till this list. Gastrodon! Bidoof honourable mention

Anyone know if local multiplayer is played split screen or full screen? Or if there is a setting or option for both?

Ludicolo and then maybe glalie

Togepi. Just loved it so much as a kid. If I could vote for three, those legendary dawgs for sure. Honourable mention to houndoom and delibird. Delibird sits on top of my Christmas tree every year

Ugh and Tangela and gloom

Oh boy how do you pick one?? Ok favourites are; bulbasaur, gengar, Alakazam, drowzee and hypno, clefable (who absolutely smacks hard in Pokemon red early game), dragonite, jolteon and like probably more that are endearing and awesome. Honourable mention goes to snorlax. Now how do I pick?? I think gen 2 I would go with togepi tho, I was obsessive when I first saw togepi.

Unicorn overlord has been absolutely fantastic. Put a solid effort into it yesterday and pushed further into drakenhold and did a bunch of the side quests for cornia. Once my partner was home from work we played some Mario kart world, and he’s starting to keep up with me and even beats me occasionally which is like a massive accomplishment in gaming for him, and is just lovely to see. Might spend some more time with ball x pit, Scott pilgrim, or Pokemon y on the side. But I also need to snowboard and play some drums in there too. Good luck to us all
