I figured it would be in the West Coast since the first one is in NYC. I was hoping for Seattle or Portland so I could drive there but oh well. Looks like most of us agree that Seattle would have been a better choice.
I was planning on booting up Paper Mario on the N64 as I wait for TTYD, but ended up playing Balatro last night. Now for the rest of the weekend, I'm going to be honest with myself and play nothing but Balatro.
@AG_Awesome I think Rise is an excellent entry title for Monster Hunter newcomers. Compared to other games in the series, it's viewed as one of the easier ones, new user friendly
This and Paper Mario TTYD are my two most anticipated games. Probably the last ones I buy before the next gen, unless Metroid Prime 4 turns out to be a Switch exclusive, which is unlikely
I would love to double dip on this and get the Switch version for portability but the price is too high for that. Even the occasional sale of $40.is too steep
Zero Mission is certainly one of the best 2d Metroids. For me part of its appeal is that it is less frustrating, makes for a breezy experience. On par with Super Metroid, a notch below Dread in terms of overall enjoyment
I recently started playing Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak after a bit of a hiatus. Grinding out xp from the anomaly expeditions until I hit 300 is my current gaming goal.
It's a travesty that Wind Waker is only playable on the Cube and WiiU, two of Nintendo's least selling consoles. More people must experience this amazing game. However, instead of a port, I would love to see a remake of the game. Like TOTK did with the BOTW map, a remake of WW could include a lot of underwater gameplay. Imagine Link donning some scuba gear and exploring the underwater world. Sounds fantastic to me!
Axiom Verge for $5 looks legit. There are many other titles that I'm interested in but the sale prices aren't any lower than they typically are during the year so there isn't much for me to get excited about
Well deserved. I'm not a big 2d Mario fan but Wonder had me working on collecting everything towards 100%. That's something I rarely do in any game. Kudos to Nintendo on this one.
Releasing RPG so soon after Wonder likely was detrimental to its sales. It's also has a much smaller target audience so this doesn't come as a surprise
Glad to see the Switch Lite still holding up. My main preference with the next Nintendo system is that there is a handheld only model ( along with backwards compatibility of course! )
I'm definitely getting NMS for the Switch eventually. I have an admiration for never ending games. But there's so many titles that I'm currently playing and have in the good ol backlog. Keep those updates coming!
I'm only a few hours in but I know a good deal of what to expect. I'd give it a 9, 9.5 if that were an option. I would list my reasons why I believe it's not a 10 but don't want to get bombarded with replies disagreeing with my opinion
People makings jokes about this but I think it's the best preorder bonus I've seen. I'm going to try to score one at Target on launch day. It will come in handy at work and I get to rep Zelda

Lots of Balatro. Working on winning with every deck.
Re: Rumour: Xbox May Be About To Join The Switch In The Handheld Space
Nintendo essentially owns the handheld gaming market and has since the Gameboy. It would be interesting to see what Microsoft has up their sleeves.

I've been passing on buying Dave the Diver because of my ridiculous backlog but if they're adding free Godzilla DLC, then take my hard earned money

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
I sell my games once I finish them. Played Mario Wonder to completion and sold it for $50. I paid $55 for it. Solid experience for $5 no doubt

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Scores Best Family Game At The Game Awards

Re: Round Up: Every Switch Announcement At Day Of The Devs - The Game Awards 2023 Edition

Re: We’ve Played Batman: Arkham Knight On Switch - Here’s 17 Minutes Of Gameplay
Should have put Arkham Origins in the bundle instead. Knight had a slim chance to becoming a good Switch port.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 25th)
I haven't played any Mario Kart since wave 3 of the dlc. Now that I'm done with Mario Wonder, it's a good time to test out all the new tracks

All those steady sales of the console without a price reduction ( that I'm aware of ) over the years is ridiculously impressive.
