Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

I tend to SAVE big releases for the holidays (xmas, bday, halloween) so I have time to work on the backlog (now that I finally finished Zedla BOTW)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Thanksgiving
Octopath Traveller - Bday in Spring 2018

This also helps if the game releases for a part of year don't interest me (i.e., pokemon this winter... meh).

I have no advice however for the torrent of high quality Nindies on eshop. I am totally drowning in AAA games on that front. (yeah.. quite a far cry from Wii U days... LOL)

I have really enjoyed my time with this game. Great puzzles (just like captain toad... the chicken can't jump so it forces you to think creatively), and animation on the fat bomb laying chicken never gets old.

Fun fighting game. I like how diverse the characters are. I settled on the zombie subject 11 for his throws.

June is definitely top tier with her zoning. Even just the CPU was brutal.

@JayJ
As long as you have beaten world 1 and seen showdown between Rabbid Donkey Kong and Rabbid Peach... and you liked the strategy gameplay of MvR (I personally love the strategy gameplay of MvR... so much freedom of movement)... Get the DK DLC.

It is different due to DK movement from main game... but still the same ideas in new ways.

The difficulty is about perfect for expansion DLC... the end game of MvR is honestly pretty challenging. This requires thinking... but not throw controller across room challenge like some of end game boss fights. Good balance.

Read this passage with a mindset of a cat chasing a laser dot...

What is the end of the world, however, is that this cursor is always on screen when you’re in a level. ....... so no matter what you’re doing you’re bothered by an irritating speck slowly wobbling around your field of view. It’s incredibly distracting ........ it’s always there, always annoying you.

Downloaded game post update and can confirm that update easy mode makes game very playable and enjoyable. Knight feels durable (he is made of stone right!) and responsive. Nice job 7 levels!

Finally able to make progress in Wulverblade thanks to recent patch and beat boss brothers at end of world 2 after being stuck for 6 months. That felt good.

Finishing Bayonetta 2... working on Splatoon 2 single (prepare for octo expansion) and Plague Knight campaign (prepare for king knight expansion).

Finally, Doom (full game) and Doom (pinball)

Switch backlog is absolutely staggering... yay for Summer coming up and I might finally have time to hit that backlog of epic Nindie games....

... going to make progress on Gerudo Divine beast on ZELDA BOTW... final push in Bayonetta 2 (love that I can unlock chain chomp with amiibo)... and DKTF!!
