Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 1st)

Finished Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (man that final boss is hard!) and am now going to play BYEBYE BOXBOY!, aptly one of the last games I got on the system. Also, I'm finally playing Mario Party Superstars. Haven't played much yet, but it is fun so far. Plus, today is my birthday, so it just makes sense!

"Zelda veterans could easily beat it in a weekend"
I can attest to that. I'm not much of a Zelda veteran, but I did beat the game in a weekend. It's short, but extra sweet, and my only complaint is that it's impossible to 100% the game unless you do everything in a specific order. Also:
"you'll almost definitely be playing long after the credits have rolled"
Unless you're grinding for mysterious shells, I don't think this statement is entirely true. Once I beat the game, I still had to get two tiger scrolls, complete the Goron side quest, and get the mirror shield, plus Tingle trouble, and I did all that in 4 or 5 hours.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch DLC

Well, there were five fighters in expansion pass one, and another six in pass two, so if you counted Piranha Plant, which was separate, there would actually be another twelve fighters, and thirteen if we count Pyra and Mythra as separate fighters, which I don't. Also, still haven't got the Treasure Tracker DLC for some reason

Re: Poll: Six Years On, Which Was Nintendo Switch's Best Year So Far?

Kirbyo

I went with 2019. So many good games, from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening to Luigi's Mansion 3, and Super Mario Maker 2 pretty much saved my life during the first half of the school year. Shoutout to 2018, though, when two of the best indie games I've ever played came out (take a guess at which two they are).

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2023 Nintendo Direct?

Holey moley donut cannoli, THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Highlights:
KRtDD: always good to get some Kirby news, and it's nice that the epilogue is confirmed to exist. It looks better than I expected!
GB and GBA for NSO: was honestly not expecting this, so when they said that something NSO related was about to be announced, I was like "oh, so they are revealing the next set of N64 games. Thought they were going to save that until June." And then the Gameboy came on screen and I went ballistic.
Metroid Prime Remake: and then IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Metroid Prime Remaster of rumors is shadow dropped! Once I finish KRtDD, I have some hard choices to make...

Re: The Best Endings In Games On Nintendo Switch

I didn't realize Kate was reading! They make such good Back Page articles! Ahh well, all good things must come to an end eventually...
On the topic at hand though, yea, Celeste's ending is pretty good. So is the ending for its final chapter, Farewell... if you can beat it, of course!

Welp, I missed the poll. And I'm commenting a day late. Doesn't matter though, I'm going to talk about my gaming plans anyways!
So first off, I decided that playing through the entire Donkey Kong Country trilogy was a good idea (using NSO and rewind, of course), and it was suffering. On the other hand, I managed to begin playing Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, and so far, it has been a blast!
