I’m due to get engrossed in a new roguelike and it feels right to wait out for Moonlighter 2. Looks awesome, combat looks great and I want to wrap my head around being a shrewd shopkeeper.
I’m so fascinated by how this game was ripped by critics, aviscerated by users on Metacritic, but still managed to gain a “Mostly Positive” review score on Steam.
The first game was a Wiiware gem. Perhaps the best game from Wiiware. I played it through again on 3DS and while the performance was choppy, I was even more addicted to it. Seeing everything in 3D was also cool. Such a hard game, but it feels excellent when you get a perfect run.
Really hope this Kickstarter pulls through. I heard Rerunner was really good too.
I first saw it when watching my cousins play Majora’s Mask at a Christmas party
I first played it after my brother was telling me how good Twilight Princess is. I made it about 10-15 hours in.
The first time I finished one was shortly after the 3DS released. I was excited to play Ocarina of Time 3D, but I wanted to try a more beginner friendly Zelda beforehand, so I beat Phantom Hourglass.
I wish I’ve had more time with it to be sure. I think I prefer Aces more at this point, but my friend was not interested in playing Aces, where he’s hooked with this game. But I do like how this game does walk a fine line between being competitive and frenzied.
Mario Tennis Fever. I even lent my Switch 2 to my friend for the day, so that he could practice up for tonight’s matches. I love how the intensity of the game is pretty adjustable to several measures. My friend and I have already had some tight matches, just playing around with the Fever Rackets.
I’d imagine interest for Angry Birds will increase with the new movie coming out later this year.
I played Angry Birds Bounce for a good month last year, finishing up to where the initial release left off. I love that they added a Blue Jay character to represent the studio working on it, based in Toronto.
The game itself really fell off of a cliff for me though for how repetitive it had gotten by Level 50 (out of 100), which was too bad, because I thought the initial format of the game being a mini roguelike (similar to Peglin) was actually pretty fun. It just needed to grow with my progression.
That’s nice to hear. I will always root for Canadian-made games. And its good to have Assassin’s Creed back on Nintendo platforms. Hopefully, this means that the long-teased Black Flag remake will be releasing on Switch 2 with the same release date as other systems
I have very high doubts of that leak which mentioned ZA costed under $20 million. It was likely an outdated number. Even with the lower salaries in Japan, the team is too large to say that the payroll for their efforts only hit a number that low through the course of ZA’s extended development.
This is such a cool promotion. I’m not too big on AR-integrated photos, but the examples they’ve took, alongside the influencers that they worked with on social media are inspiring me to take a neat photo.
Although, I’m not sure which Pokemon is my favorite between Yanma,, Honchkrow, Sawsbuck and Dedenne
I think the one thing I’m surprised to not hear about is that the black and bright red doesn’t seem to clash to create a ghosting effect as it does commonly on other VR devices.
Its probably just Kirby Air Riders. I’m only 1 bar away from Rainbow Class, but I’m motivated to play until I’ve reached Rainbow Class in all modes, seen the Road Trip true ending (and possibly beat Road Trip with all characters), completed the Checklist and trained all my amiibo (my current collection is 3 Kirby+Warp & 3 Bandana+Winged and I’m stull considering picking up a fourth Kirby+Warp).
I’m going with my friends next Monday. My best friend and I have fond memories of playing Mario Tennis in the past. This demo will really be the make or break whether we want to split on this.
These are some neat picks. I love all the deep-cut games on Arcade Archives, but they’re often pricey for Arcade games. Looking forward to what Console Archives will offer.
That’s pretty wild. I imagine Gearbox does eventually will go back to finishing this game, only because Borderlands are typically not afraid to release far later in the future, much like the Borderlands 2 Vita/VR ports, and the Borderlands 3 Switch port. Maybe Nintendo Shiver can offer assistance, given their history with 2K.
I only had the LABO VR Kit, and the initial pieces like the Joy Con holder and the Headset itself has worn down. I bought the Expansion Set for VR and never assembled it. Maybe one day I will if the Virtual Boy Cardboard Model works fully as a LABO VR replacement. Although, the resolution for playing the games on LABO VR was already quite bad and given how blurry Switch games are on Switch 2, I can’t imagine playing games like Smash Bros. on the cardbard model feeling better on the new system.
That’s too bad. Sega swung hard for the game. I do think you put yourself in a weird situation though if you expect this game to sell much further than a million copies. Alot of people are just put in a situation where they have to be selective of the retail games they purchase when they get over $60.
I think Capcom really wants to make a Robot Master with vacuum mechanics, and will just eliminate choices in the top 6 that don’t have vacuum related moves.
Regardless, I’m voting for Vac Woman, even though it does look like a Hazbin Hotel character.

Re: Xbox Announces Next Generation Console, Codenamed 'Project Helix'
If this gets Steam support, Xbox will probably get some consumers back. Very curious to see how Xbox can steer this ship around.
Re: Two More Kirby Air Riders amiibo Are On The Way, Out Later This Year

The true best Pokémon game is Pokémon Picross.

This was my favorite game in the showcase. It looks gorgeous.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Races Onto Nintendo Music This Week
I just spent 9+ hours playing Air Riders today so naturally, this news is delightful.
Unfortunately, Checker Knights main track doesn’t seem to be available though for some reason.
Re: BIT.TRIP Runner Dev Needs Your Help To Bring Remake To Switch 2

Remember that time where Nintendo released 2 different replica Game Boys with entirely different purposes 4 months apart from eachother?
Re: Kirby Air Riders Gets A New Update Today, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Both my Dedede and my Hop Star got good buffs! Praise be Sakurai!
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Virtual Boy Game Ranked
I’m surprised by how much I like 3D Tetris. I haven’t really had as much time with the other games because 3D Tetris is cool to play.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 9 Pokémon?
I’d have to go with Iron Thorns. I love the Mecha Pokémon and this one perfectly elevates an already intimidating Pokémon in Tyranitar.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 8 Pokémon?
Inteleon. It almost looks too smart to want to battle Pokémon.
Re: Nintendo Seemingly Rules Out Virtual Console Revival, Says It Remains Focused On Offering Classics Via Switch Online
This is an exception to the rule for multiple reasons
Re: Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Is "The First Step" In The Platformer's Comeback
They should rerelease Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 & 2. They were great Party Games, especially the 2nd that amped the goofiness.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 7 Pokémon?
Brionne! A fun playful design, albeit it doesn’t look ready to battle.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 6 Pokémon?
Pumpkaboo. The little pudgey pumpkin.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Movie Has Found Its Amy Rose
Excellent choice, especially because she has ample voice acting history by this point.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 5 Pokémon?
Unfezant! My favorite of all the bird Pokémon for being a true New Yorker
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Tennis Fever?
I wish I’ve had more time with it to be sure. I think I prefer Aces more at this point, but my friend was not interested in playing Aces, where he’s hooked with this game. But I do like how this game does walk a fine line between being competitive and frenzied.
Re: Mewgenics Console Release Is In The Works, And Switch 2 Is "The Frontrunner"
I am so fascinated by this game and how it paints disabilities as their own strengths. Hoping it can come out on Switch or Switch 2 within the year.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 4 Pokémon?
Munchlax! It’s got so much personality that goes beyond being small and cute.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 3 Pokémon?
Medicham. It’s psychic/fighting attitude is fun to have on your side.
Re: Forget The Talking Flower, This Is The Cutest Upcoming Mario Toy
I feel like this will be one of those toys that will go for hundreds if you keep it in the egg years from now
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 2 Pokémon?
Girafarig. Its design has always been the sort of playful dark tone I’ve always liked from Pokémon
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
Pinsir! I love a bug with attitude.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th February)

Re: Pokémon's Super Bowl Commercial Was Probably Expensive, Unsurprisingly

I’m afraid this bonus is not planty enough.

Re: Nintendo Showcases Every Switch And Switch 2 Partner Direct Game In New Infographic
Captain Tsubasa 2 looks really fun. I don’t know how a game that puts a bulldozer on the field doesn’t catch more eyes.
I’ve never involved myself with past Captain Tsubasa games/manga/anime, but I think I’ll be okay going into the game green to everything.
Re: Splatoon 3's New Job Scenarios Are Wrapping Up With The Next Eggstra Work Event
I’ve put boatloads of time into Splatoon. I’ve never cared to play for Eggstra Work weekends.
Re: Telltale's "Cult Classic" Poker Night At The Inventory Returns On Switch This March
@MirrorFate2 You can’t just replace you poker buddies because they’re in their flop-era! The fact that this cast is so 2008-core is part of the charm.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct February Partner Predictions - What Do You Want To See?
This will be the one with a Super Bomberman classics collection
Re: Borderlands 4 Switch 2 Development Paused, According To Take-Two
That’s pretty wild. I imagine Gearbox does eventually will go back to finishing this game, only because Borderlands are typically not afraid to release far later in the future, much like the Borderlands 2 Vita/VR ports, and the Borderlands 3 Switch port. Maybe Nintendo Shiver can offer assistance, given their history with 2K.
Re: Surprise! Tomodachi Life's 3DS Soundtrack Has Been Added To Nintendo Music
I’m not too familiar with the Tomodachi Life soundtrack. Really great soundtrack from what I’ve listened to on the app so far.
Re: Talking Point: Where's Your Nintendo Labo Now?
I only had the LABO VR Kit, and the initial pieces like the Joy Con holder and the Headset itself has worn down. I bought the Expansion Set for VR and never assembled it. Maybe one day I will if the Virtual Boy Cardboard Model works fully as a LABO VR replacement. Although, the resolution for playing the games on LABO VR was already quite bad and given how blurry Switch games are on Switch 2, I can’t imagine playing games like Smash Bros. on the cardbard model feeling better on the new system.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Fails To Meets Sega's Expectations
That’s too bad. Sega swung hard for the game. I do think you put yourself in a weird situation though if you expect this game to sell much further than a million copies. Alot of people are just put in a situation where they have to be selective of the retail games they purchase when they get over $60.
Re: Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Design Contest - Top 20 Designs Revealed, Voting Now Open
I think Capcom really wants to make a Robot Master with vacuum mechanics, and will just eliminate choices in the top 6 that don’t have vacuum related moves.
Regardless, I’m voting for Vac Woman, even though it does look like a Hazbin Hotel character.
