The Wii U was fantastic. I loved my Wii U. I still have lots of games for it too. I played it more than I played the other consoles. I put so much time into it. I used to take it to places and play games with other people, and they were shocked by how much they loved it. Still one of my favorite consoles. Its very fun, and I had lots of games, and it was a blast to play.
Heading to the store to pick up my pre-order for this soon. Definitely looking forward to having fun with this, as I have the previous games in the series too.
I'm picking it up today. I already have, and beat, the other Switch games in this series. Happily picking this up and will play and beat it too. Good times all around.
I'm getting Sniper Elite 4 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered this week, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity next week. Tho I still have a lot of other games that I'm still working on too.
I bought this game the day it came out, a little weary that it might not be good. I haven't had a chance to play it much, since I've been busy lately, but when I have played it, I have enjoyed it. It kind of has a 'Streets of Rage' or 'Final Fight' feel to it, with combos, grab moves, and even Mortal Kombat 11 style 'environmental attacks' where you throw people into different objects in the levels. I started one save file as Miyagi-Do, and another save file as Cobra Kai, because I wanted to give both a chance. When I started the 2nd save file, I got a warning that said that to get the True Ending, I would need to play both sides on the same game file to get the True Final Boss. Which has me think it's like Resident Evil 2 for the PSX in that regards. Which is cool. Also, Miyagi-Do has Ice-based special attacks, and Cobra Kai has fire-based special attacks. Which seems fitting. But yeah, so far, I'm having fun with it. Hope to get more time with it soon.
I'm playing a lot. This past week or so I got: Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Demo, Cobra Kai, G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, Transformers: Battlegrounds, Control, Eyes, Overlanders, Mechstermination Force, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Torchlight III, and a couple of smaller cheap games. And, I still have bigger games I previously got to work through too (Paper Mario: Origami King, Borderlands Trilogy, etc) while also continuing to play other games I've previously beat (Hades, Resident Evil 4, Dead Cells, The Wonderful 101, etc). So, I have a lot of games on my plate right now. And even more coming soon. I have lots pre-ordered too, that all come out in the coming months. So, I need to get gaming harder soon.
I had this on the Wii U. Loved playing it there. Playing it on the Switch today. Almost done with the first game. Beat 6 levels already. Definitely going to work on the rest of the game, and the 2nd one too. I've always liked the game. Happily picked it up again on the Switch.
@Kezza64 Easy, it's a fun game, and I tried to Max Level every character (still working on that) as well as fully upgrade everybody (also still working on that) as well as 100% complete each Adventure Map (also still working on that). But I'm getting close on all of those. There's a lot to do in that game, and its very time consuming too. But I definitely had fun with it and enjoyed it. As for the Wii U version, I have probably 90 or so hours in that. I wanted to 100% that too, but, I had less time to play, as well as had a lot of Wii U games to play. I have 85 physical Wii U games, as well as another ~150 or so digital games. So I had a lot of Wii U games to bounce around between. Tho, I have more Switch games, however, I also have more free time to play them all too. Currently, I have 71 physical games, and 207 digital games (only counting the NES app as 1, and the SNES app as 1, not all of the NES/SNES games inside of them). But, I also have more games on pre-order that I plan on getting too. .. But yeah, it was easy to rack up 300+ hours in the Switch version. There's just lots to do. They basically combined the 3DS and Wii U version together, and added more. So lots to do, and more characters to level up/upgrade/etc. And there's a bunch of Adventure Maps too, all that take a lot of time to deal with. I 100% one map, and am close on 2 more. But the other Adventure Maps I still have work to do. Tho I'm at least over 50% on each map. Between 60% and 80% on most of the others. So, I'm getting there. But yeah, its very easy to get 300+ hours out of this game. And, its fun, so that time went by fast. I'm not sure the new Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will have Adventure Maps or not. If so, great. If not, that's ok too. If not, then definitely won't need to spend as much time on it. But so far, the demo is really fun. Going to try to level up the characters as much as I can before the real game launches, since they said that the save data from the demo transfers over to the real game. So, I'll be putting time into the demo too.
I have over 300+ hours on Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition on the Switch, so far. Currently, I have a few hours into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and so far I've had nothing but fun with it. I don't recall experiencing any frame rate issues. Nothing game hindering either. I do noticed that they added a 'focus' thing when you target a boss, where the focus is on them directly and things around them get a little blurry. But that's clearly by design and kind of neat, as it doesn't last forever, just when you first focus on them. When you un-target them it goes back to normal. But it also goes back to normal on its own after a moment. So I've had nothing but fun with it. I don't have any complaints on frame rates or blurriness or anything else. I noticed the combo moves for Link are a little different than the previous Hyrule Warriors game, so, getting used to that. But I don't have any complaints on anything technical in the game. Seems to run perfectly fine, and I've been having fun with it. I've had it pre-ordered since it was announced, and I will definitely be picking it up on day 1 and putting another 300+ hours into this like I did the previous game. The new level select, and weapon upgrade, etc, design is cool, with the new map style layout instead. But yeah, technical issues, so far, I haven't had any problems. No frame rate issues, while beating every level in the games demo (several times each), and as for the blurriness, that was clearly by design at specific parts, when you choose to do so, and again, its temporary and quick. So, so far, I have no complaints with this game.
I'm busy playing a bunch of other games, so I haven't bought anything new this week. But I'm looking at Torchlight III, Transformers: Battlegrounds, Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered, ScourgeBringer, Pumpkin Jack, Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues, Oddworld: New ānā Tasty , and maybe a few others. I'm not committed to getting any, just yet. Just curiously want to check into them more. Tho, I'll mostly likely get Torchlight 3 digitally, and Transformers: Battlegrounds physically. And then, possibly, maybe more. Not sure yet. Lots of other physical games coming out in the next few months, so, going to be spending a lot on games soon. So, just debating what to get now, and what either not to get, or get down the road. But if I do get anything, it'll most likely just be what I listed. One, some, all, who knows.
I got the Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, and Balance Board for the Wii, and played that off and on for a short time, but not much. Then I got the Wii Fit U for the Wii U and used the same Balance Board. I made a conscious effort to put real time into it. I forced myself to play the Wii Fit U for a minimum of 1 hour per session, a minimum of 3 times a day. I successfully did that for a couple of months, every single day, without missing a day. Then, my job sent me out of State for 2 months, and I debated about taking it with me or not. But, I was going to be training people, and putting in long hours, and hanging out with other trainers before and after work. So, I chose not to bring it, because I wouldn't have time anyways. 2 months later, when I got home, I was going to force myself to play, but I figured, ehh, one more day without playing won't hurt. That turned into 2. Then 3. Then, on day 4 or 5 of being home, I felt it was time to get back into routine, and I started it, and didn't have the drive to keep it up. I felt like I was forcing it too much, and the interest and motivation just wasn't there anymore. I found myself sitting on my bed, or laying back, with my feet on the floor, on the balance board, as I went through the motions on the board with my feet, to get the results in the game, so the game thought I was doing stuff. But I wasn't. I just wasn't feeling like getting back into it, and the more I forced myself to try to get back into routine, the more I didn't want to continue with it. So, eventually I stopped, and never touched it again. If I hadn't of taken that 2 months break, I would of kept going for a long time. But that break totally took me out of the mood to continue on with it. And I fear that if I were to start Ring Fit Adventure, at some point, something will stop me and I will just lose interest in continuing it. Tho, I do, admittedly, sometimes think I should pick it up and start it. Perhaps even just doing it once a day, for a few minutes, instead of the previous 3 times, for an hour each. But, I haven't bothered to get it yet. Maybe one day. I just also have so many other games to play as well, that I feel like I would just get distracted with other games. Especially when I have a lot pre-ordered that all come out within the next couple of months. So, an influx of all kinds of new games is coming, which will also take me out of wanting to play Ring Fit Adventure. So, maybe one day, but I doubt I'll get it anytime soon. Tho, again, I do think about getting it, from time to time.
I play in Portable Mode about 99% of the time. I leave my tv free to watch other things while playing. I did the same thing with the Wii U. I played in Handheld mode and watched something else on tv at the same time.
I just started to play it last week, to complete the MyNintendo Missions, so that I could get the Super Mario Bros Collectors Pin Set. I officially completed all 6 Missions (1. Visit the Super Mario website.. 2. Take the Super Mario Quiz.. 3. Download the "This is My Mario" image.. 4. Play a song from the Super Mario Music Player on the website.. 5. Play the Super Mario Kart Tour in Mario Kart Tour.. 6. Buy Super Mario 3D All-Stars). I've completed all 6, so now I get the Super Mario Bros Collectible Pin Set.. https://i.postimg.cc/MT5wWypS/RGJCWAk.jpg
My friend had Early Access to this, and kept telling me how great it was. I picked it up the moment it was available on the Switch, and haven't played anything else since. So good.
@Bearzilla823 I'm not there yet on any individual game, but I imagine that its exactly what happens when you reached 99 before the update. The game just stops counting. You can continue to play as much as you want tho. If you lose, the play counter still rises, but the won counter doesn't, so before you could be at 99 played and say, 80 wins. But if you keep playing and winning, the played will stay at 99, but the wins will rise until it eventually hits 99 too. And both will at 99, but it doesn't affect anything. You still play like you normally would. Just the game doesn't recognize any more plays or wins. That's all. And, they don't show when you play online either. They only show in single player. So it doesn't mean anything. Its just for your own personal knowledge. I had several games at 99/99 played/won before the update. I will eventually get them to 999/999 too, but, in time. But again, it doesn't mean anything, other than just for you to personally know yourself. Doesn't affect the game in any way.
I prefer Physical releases on all of the major titles, so I purposely didn't bother with these. Nice idea, but I don't get digital versions of the big games. Only physical, when they have one.
I"ve played about 4 or 5 games at least 500 times each by now. But, it wont' take too long to get the game's counter to be 999 for all of them. I would like some of the DS games that aren't here to be added. Never had a problem with the online gameplay yet. Always played smooth for me. But more stability is always nice. I haven't had any of the issues that bug fixes corrected, but, i haven't played a lot of t hem a lot. I've mostly been playing Chess, Connect Four, "Hit and Blow" tho I still call it Mastermind, Mancala, Bowling, and Speed. I play some other ones too, but mostly just the ones listed. But I have played all of the games. and beaten all of them at least once, but will eventually raise their Played/Won numbers.
2 is a great game. I still like 3 the best tho. I know most people love 2 better, and for good reason, as it's good too. But I still think 3 is the best one, and like 3 better.
I've played this a lot. I have "99 times played, 99 times won" on multiple games. Chess. Hit and Blow. Four in a Row, Mancala. But I do have rising numbers in a bunch of other games too. My top 3 most played online games are 1) Chess, 2) Four in a Row, 3) Hit and Blow, and 4) Mancala, 5) Speed.. But I like to play all of the games.
If anybody ever wants to play anything, my Friend Code is: SW-4903-4145-3904. I'm always down for a game of anything.
"Encourages" is the wrong word, as that suggests that Nintendo is purposely saying "hey, come make fake leaks", which they are not. It's just an exploit that people are taking advantage of. Not something Nintendo is actively promoting or suggesting people do.
I have several joycon colors for each side, and after trying out a bunch, I find I prefer red on the left, and blue on the right. That's how I've been playing my switch for 3 years now.
I put over 600+ hours into the DS original. At this time, I have already put in about 14 hours into the Switch version. The game is great, and well polished and definitely fun. Tho, I will say, having put a ton of time in the original, that this version doesn't have the same charm as the original. The music is different, the design is different, the Stamps/Challenges are gone, so, the rewards are gone (that I can tell so far, anyways). This game has more of a 'checklist' of achievements per game, like, beating on every difficulty, than it does 'challenges' like the original. So, not quite the same, definitely a different feel to the game. But, considering that it's made by a different developer, I get that it's different. But still fun. Will definitely put a lot of time into this version.
I got the full version myself. I put easily 600+ hours into the DS version. Maybe more. I'm sure I'll put another 600+ hours into this game, so, full version it is.
1) Process of Elimination, as I knew 3 out of the 4 were right. 2) I've known this answer for a long time, and, it's also obvious if you just think about it 3) This had bee reported on a lot, during its run 4) I knew the "Ultra" codename, so, went with the only option with a "U" 5) Educated Guess. I didn't remember it, but I did remember reading about it. Thought it might of been another one, but, took a guess and got lucky 6) I had the Indigo version (with the 3rd party monitor attachment as well), so, I knew right away. 7) I knew this codename too, as well as the others for other consoles too 8) Day 1 Purchase for me. I was there from the beginning. I still love this console. Completely underrated. 9) Honestly, I didn't know. So, I guessed between the two American sounding names, as that seemed logical. Just got lucky with the guess. 10) This is the most recent one I've known about. And, I have the controller, and have shown it off too, so, I knew what it was before even having to look at the possible options
Still happy with with performance, but, again, definitely harder, and made more guesses than I normally do. But, still proud of the results. Even if I had missed some, these are good challenges.
@dewokkel I have "Zombie Army Trilogy" for the Switch. So there's that. I have fun with that game. Basically just "Sniper Elite with zombies", if you've never played it. But yeah, I loved ZombiU. I played it a lot, and beat it multiple times. It's a shame that it was rushed. It was originally revealed to be alien invasion game, but the aliens were too small and hard to hit, so, they changed it to zombies instead, right before E3 that year and basically started over from scratch. But, they desperately wanted it to be a launch title, so that they could say that they had the "first must have title" on the Wii U. But because they changed concepts so late in the process, they didn't have time to do everything that they wanted. Nintendo planned on Pikmin 3 being a launch title but, they knew it wasn't ready, so they pushed it back, and it didn't release until August the next year. But, Ubisoft refused to push back ZombiU to properly finish it, and thus, had to cut things. They cut the multiplayer aspect down, and cut out some weapons, and some levels, and other things, and said that they would put those in the sequel instead of trying to put them in the first game, as planned. But, because they rushed the game, and refused to push it back finish it, because they were so dead set on it being a launch title, the game wasn't all it could of been. Which is a shame, because it was still a good game, that I had lots of fun with. But extra time working on it could of made it so much better. But, because it was incomplete when it released, it didn't sell well, and then the sequel got cancelled because of it. Which is a shame. But it would be nice if they Remastered ZombiU for the Switch (tho, the title would just have to be "Zombi" like the other consoles, as the U wouldn't make sense, and you obviously can't use the "tch" from the end of "Switch", as Zombi ends in "bi", and, that would just be bad if they named it that, for obvious reasons). But yeah, a full remaster of the game, with, hopefully, the extra stuff that they didn't have time to complete the first time around, would be great. I'd love to play the game again, on the Switch, if they did that.
Since it's already well assumed that the Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, and Xenoblade games are coming, I would want the NES Remix Pack, and ZombiU to come to the Switch. I played a lot of those on the Wii U. I don't see the other games on this list making the jump to the Switch. But I would love to see NES Remix Pack and ZombiU make it over. Those would be great to have on the Switch.
1) I've known this since the 80s. 2) This one is famous, for obvious reasons 3) A classic game, for sure 4) Obvious, especially if you've played all of the game options 5) Another obvious one. Don't even need to know the arcade versions to guess this. 6) A classic scene, and, I used to play that same arcade machine 7) This one might trick some people, but if you remember the Konami Code, you'll remember the right answer. 8) I know this story well 9) Don't even have to play any of the games, if you've seen the movie 10) Honestly, this one was a guess to me, as its been a while since I've played this game, let alone at the arcade, and I didn't remember the names of any of the songs. So, total guess.
I already have my NES and SNES Switch controllers. Love them. They work for other games, besides just the NES & SNES games too. Not every game, but a lot of games.
1. Obvious answer 2. I was there from the beginning 3. I don't know what a "Sommelier" is, but I know he was the other professions, so, process of elimination. 4. Played the first game a LOT. 5. Obvious answer. 6. Took a guess, but vaguely remember this range being mentioned before. 7. I played "Clash" on the Virtual Boy at a store kiosk back when it first released, and I owned the Typing and Baseball games. So, process of elimination. 8. I own all of the Switch games with 'Mario' in the title, so I just named off what I owned. 9. If you've played the game, you'd know. 10. This has been "Common Knowledge" for basically forever now.
@dDankGM @Zach777 Yeah. I have a 1TB card too. I need it. I currently have 154 Digital games, and 62 Physical games. And I have more games that I plan on getting, when they release, as well as games that are already released that I just haven't bought yet. So, this 1TB isn't going to last forever. Will definitely need to upgrade to a higher size, whenever they make one. But yeah, I enjoy, and need, my 1TB card.
That said, I have most of the games on this list. Not all, but most. I like some better than others, but I like the genre as a whole, and will check out more in the future, when more inevitably get made.
I've never played this, but I have a friend that tells me that I NEED to play this because it's that great. I haven't it set to my Wish List, but, haven't purchased it yet. Perhaps soon enough. I have a ton of other games still to get through. But I hear high praises for this game. So I'll play it one day.
I went to the store to buy Bubble Bobble 4 Friends and Zombie Army Trilogy, physically. But, none of the stores I went to had them. So, then I started calling around instead, and everyplace that I called said that because of the pandemic, all of their shipments had been delayed. So, some stores said that they don't expect to receive their shipments of these games for at least another week or so. Some said they don't expect them until after April 20th. So, I'll wait until I can get those games physically, as I prefer physical copies over digital copies. But, I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime. So, I'll be ok.
I have 7, 8, and 9. Will worry about getting the other games later. I'm good with these for now. Also have a lot of other games to play through still, and getting more games soon (like Bubble Bobble 4 Friends and Zombie Army Trilogy tomorrow, among others soon). So, I'll enjoy what I have here for now, and get more Final Fantasy games later.
@EmirParkreiner Yes. I've already beat Tiny Metal 1 and 2, and finished all of the Skirmish maps on both. Did everything in WarGroove too, including the recent DLC addition. I have over 200 hours in each of all 3 of those games too.
I easily put over 500 hours into the DS version. In fact, my best friend borrowed my DS-Lite just so she could play Clubhouse Games on it. But she loved it so much, and played it daily, that she kept it in her purse, took it everywhere, and played everywhere. Was always on it while on break at work, or anywhere else. Was laying in bed playing it every night, etc. But, she refused to give it back, because she loved it so. I ended up buying her her own pink DS-Lite and a copy of the game just so I could get my DS-Lite back. She still plays that game on her pink DS-Lite to this day. I don't know how many hours she's put into that game, but it was definitely her favorite DS/3DS game.
I've already pre-purchased this game new Switch version. I will definitely put 500+ more hours into this game too. This was the most exciting announcement from the Nintendo Direct Mini for me. Tho, I will definitely be picking up other games from the direct too (like Borderlands and Burnout Paradise, and others). But Clubhouse Games and Advance Wars were the 2 games that I wanted most on the Switch, and kept telling everybody that I couldn't wait for them to be made. Tho, honestly, I thought Advance Wars had a better chance of showing up than Clubhouse Games did. But I'm extremely excited to get Clubhouse Games. Again, I've already bought it.
April 1st is the day that I don't go on the internet, at all. I just work, watch movies, and play video games all day. I never read anything online about anything on that day. My brother, on the other hand, will not realize what day it is, and read something, and call me up all excited and tell me something like "oh my god, did you hear, they just started filming the live action The Legend of Zelda movie today", and I'll have to stop him and tell him that it's fake, and he'll go, "no, no, it's real, I just read it online, it's real", and I'll have to break it to him I guarantee him that it's fake because it's April 1st today, and he won't want to believe it, and still tell me that it's online, and I'll have to repeat that it's April 1st, so not to believe anything. Then he gets all disappointed about it. But yeah, April 1st is the one day I don't look up anything about anything, nor believe anything that anybody tries to tell me that they read online. Not even my only brother.
I bought this game physically when it first released on the 3DS, which I still have. Beat it back then. Haven't gotten the Switch version yet. Perhaps soon enough.

I already bought Sniper Elite 4 and have been playing it. Picking up my physical pre-order copy of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity tomorrow.
Re: The Wii U First Launched Eight Years Ago Today
The Wii U was fantastic. I loved my Wii U. I still have lots of games for it too. I played it more than I played the other consoles. I put so much time into it. I used to take it to places and play games with other people, and they were shocked by how much they loved it. Still one of my favorite consoles. Its very fun, and I had lots of games, and it was a blast to play.
Re: Review: Sniper Elite 4 - The Nazi-Slaying Series' Best Entry Comes To Switch
Heading to the store to pick up my pre-order for this soon. Definitely looking forward to having fun with this, as I have the previous games in the series too.
Re: Sniper Elite 4 Fires Onto Switch Today, Here's The Launch Trailer
I'm picking it up today. I already have, and beat, the other Switch games in this series. Happily picking this up and will play and beat it too. Good times all around.
Re: Abzu Is Just $1.99 On The Switch eShop, That's 90% Off

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th November (North America)
I'm getting Sniper Elite 4 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered this week, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity next week. Tho I still have a lot of other games that I'm still working on too.
Re: Review: Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues - A Surprisingly Decent Belt-Scrolling Brawler
I bought this game the day it came out, a little weary that it might not be good. I haven't had a chance to play it much, since I've been busy lately, but when I have played it, I have enjoyed it. It kind of has a 'Streets of Rage' or 'Final Fight' feel to it, with combos, grab moves, and even Mortal Kombat 11 style 'environmental attacks' where you throw people into different objects in the levels. I started one save file as Miyagi-Do, and another save file as Cobra Kai, because I wanted to give both a chance. When I started the 2nd save file, I got a warning that said that to get the True Ending, I would need to play both sides on the same game file to get the True Final Boss. Which has me think it's like Resident Evil 2 for the PSX in that regards. Which is cool. Also, Miyagi-Do has Ice-based special attacks, and Cobra Kai has fire-based special attacks. Which seems fitting. But yeah, so far, I'm having fun with it. Hope to get more time with it soon.
Re: Sniper Elite 4 Gets 'World-First' Switch Gameplay Trailer, Pre-Orders Now Live
"Pre-Orders NOW Live"?... I've had mine pre-ordered for a couple of weeks now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 31st)
I'm playing a lot. This past week or so I got: Angry Video Game Nerd I & II Deluxe, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Demo, Cobra Kai, G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, Transformers: Battlegrounds, Control, Eyes, Overlanders, Mechstermination Force, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Torchlight III, and a couple of smaller cheap games. And, I still have bigger games I previously got to work through too (Paper Mario: Origami King, Borderlands Trilogy, etc) while also continuing to play other games I've previously beat (Hades, Resident Evil 4, Dead Cells, The Wonderful 101, etc). So, I have a lot of games on my plate right now. And even more coming soon. I have lots pre-ordered too, that all come out in the coming months. So, I need to get gaming harder soon.
Re: Review: Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe - A Double-Dose Of Accomplished Platforming Action
I had this on the Wii U. Loved playing it there. Playing it on the Switch today. Almost done with the first game. Beat 6 levels already. Definitely going to work on the rest of the game, and the 2nd one too. I've always liked the game. Happily picked it up again on the Switch.
Re: What's Up With The Frame Rate In The Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Demo?
@Kezza64 Easy, it's a fun game, and I tried to Max Level every character (still working on that) as well as fully upgrade everybody (also still working on that) as well as 100% complete each Adventure Map (also still working on that). But I'm getting close on all of those. There's a lot to do in that game, and its very time consuming too. But I definitely had fun with it and enjoyed it. As for the Wii U version, I have probably 90 or so hours in that. I wanted to 100% that too, but, I had less time to play, as well as had a lot of Wii U games to play. I have 85 physical Wii U games, as well as another ~150 or so digital games. So I had a lot of Wii U games to bounce around between. Tho, I have more Switch games, however, I also have more free time to play them all too. Currently, I have 71 physical games, and 207 digital games (only counting the NES app as 1, and the SNES app as 1, not all of the NES/SNES games inside of them). But, I also have more games on pre-order that I plan on getting too. .. But yeah, it was easy to rack up 300+ hours in the Switch version. There's just lots to do. They basically combined the 3DS and Wii U version together, and added more. So lots to do, and more characters to level up/upgrade/etc. And there's a bunch of Adventure Maps too, all that take a lot of time to deal with. I 100% one map, and am close on 2 more. But the other Adventure Maps I still have work to do. Tho I'm at least over 50% on each map. Between 60% and 80% on most of the others. So, I'm getting there. But yeah, its very easy to get 300+ hours out of this game. And, its fun, so that time went by fast. I'm not sure the new Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will have Adventure Maps or not. If so, great. If not, that's ok too. If not, then definitely won't need to spend as much time on it. But so far, the demo is really fun. Going to try to level up the characters as much as I can before the real game launches, since they said that the save data from the demo transfers over to the real game. So, I'll be putting time into the demo too.
Re: What's Up With The Frame Rate In The Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Demo?
I have over 300+ hours on Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition on the Switch, so far. Currently, I have a few hours into Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and so far I've had nothing but fun with it. I don't recall experiencing any frame rate issues. Nothing game hindering either. I do noticed that they added a 'focus' thing when you target a boss, where the focus is on them directly and things around them get a little blurry. But that's clearly by design and kind of neat, as it doesn't last forever, just when you first focus on them. When you un-target them it goes back to normal. But it also goes back to normal on its own after a moment. So I've had nothing but fun with it. I don't have any complaints on frame rates or blurriness or anything else. I noticed the combo moves for Link are a little different than the previous Hyrule Warriors game, so, getting used to that. But I don't have any complaints on anything technical in the game. Seems to run perfectly fine, and I've been having fun with it. I've had it pre-ordered since it was announced, and I will definitely be picking it up on day 1 and putting another 300+ hours into this like I did the previous game. The new level select, and weapon upgrade, etc, design is cool, with the new map style layout instead. But yeah, technical issues, so far, I haven't had any problems. No frame rate issues, while beating every level in the games demo (several times each), and as for the blurriness, that was clearly by design at specific parts, when you choose to do so, and again, its temporary and quick. So, so far, I have no complaints with this game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October (North America)
I'm busy playing a bunch of other games, so I haven't bought anything new this week. But I'm looking at Torchlight III, Transformers: Battlegrounds, Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered, ScourgeBringer, Pumpkin Jack, Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues, Oddworld: New ānā Tasty , and maybe a few others. I'm not committed to getting any, just yet. Just curiously want to check into them more. Tho, I'll mostly likely get Torchlight 3 digitally, and Transformers: Battlegrounds physically. And then, possibly, maybe more. Not sure yet. Lots of other physical games coming out in the next few months, so, going to be spending a lot on games soon. So, just debating what to get now, and what either not to get, or get down the road. But if I do get anything, it'll most likely just be what I listed. One, some, all, who knows.
Re: Poll: One Year Later, How Are You Getting On With Ring Fit Adventure?
I got the Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, and Balance Board for the Wii, and played that off and on for a short time, but not much. Then I got the Wii Fit U for the Wii U and used the same Balance Board. I made a conscious effort to put real time into it. I forced myself to play the Wii Fit U for a minimum of 1 hour per session, a minimum of 3 times a day. I successfully did that for a couple of months, every single day, without missing a day. Then, my job sent me out of State for 2 months, and I debated about taking it with me or not. But, I was going to be training people, and putting in long hours, and hanging out with other trainers before and after work. So, I chose not to bring it, because I wouldn't have time anyways. 2 months later, when I got home, I was going to force myself to play, but I figured, ehh, one more day without playing won't hurt. That turned into 2. Then 3. Then, on day 4 or 5 of being home, I felt it was time to get back into routine, and I started it, and didn't have the drive to keep it up. I felt like I was forcing it too much, and the interest and motivation just wasn't there anymore. I found myself sitting on my bed, or laying back, with my feet on the floor, on the balance board, as I went through the motions on the board with my feet, to get the results in the game, so the game thought I was doing stuff. But I wasn't. I just wasn't feeling like getting back into it, and the more I forced myself to try to get back into routine, the more I didn't want to continue with it. So, eventually I stopped, and never touched it again. If I hadn't of taken that 2 months break, I would of kept going for a long time. But that break totally took me out of the mood to continue on with it. And I fear that if I were to start Ring Fit Adventure, at some point, something will stop me and I will just lose interest in continuing it. Tho, I do, admittedly, sometimes think I should pick it up and start it. Perhaps even just doing it once a day, for a few minutes, instead of the previous 3 times, for an hour each. But, I haven't bothered to get it yet. Maybe one day. I just also have so many other games to play as well, that I feel like I would just get distracted with other games. Especially when I have a lot pre-ordered that all come out within the next couple of months. So, an influx of all kinds of new games is coming, which will also take me out of wanting to play Ring Fit Adventure. So, maybe one day, but I doubt I'll get it anytime soon. Tho, again, I do think about getting it, from time to time.
Re: Hori Is Releasing Another Super Mario Themed D-Pad Joy-Con On 23rd November

Re: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Version 1.1.2 Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Bearzilla823 I'm not there yet on any individual game, but I imagine that its exactly what happens when you reached 99 before the update. The game just stops counting. You can continue to play as much as you want tho. If you lose, the play counter still rises, but the won counter doesn't, so before you could be at 99 played and say, 80 wins. But if you keep playing and winning, the played will stay at 99, but the wins will rise until it eventually hits 99 too. And both will at 99, but it doesn't affect anything. You still play like you normally would. Just the game doesn't recognize any more plays or wins. That's all. And, they don't show when you play online either. They only show in single player. So it doesn't mean anything. Its just for your own personal knowledge. I had several games at 99/99 played/won before the update. I will eventually get them to 999/999 too, but, in time. But again, it doesn't mean anything, other than just for you to personally know yourself. Doesn't affect the game in any way.
Re: Reminder: Use Your Switch Game Vouchers While You Still Can (North America)
I prefer Physical releases on all of the major titles, so I purposely didn't bother with these. Nice idea, but I don't get digital versions of the big games. Only physical, when they have one.
Re: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Version 1.1.2 Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I"ve played about 4 or 5 games at least 500 times each by now. But, it wont' take too long to get the game's counter to be 999 for all of them. I would like some of the DS games that aren't here to be added. Never had a problem with the online gameplay yet. Always played smooth for me. But more stability is always nice. I haven't had any of the issues that bug fixes corrected, but, i haven't played a lot of t hem a lot. I've mostly been playing Chess, Connect Four, "Hit and Blow" tho I still call it Mastermind, Mancala, Bowling, and Speed. I play some other ones too, but mostly just the ones listed. But I have played all of the games. and beaten all of them at least once, but will eventually raise their Played/Won numbers.

Re: Nintendo Reveals The Most Popular Games In Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics

My top 3 most played online games are 1) Chess, 2) Four in a Row, 3) Hit and Blow, and 4) Mancala, 5) Speed.. But I like to play all of the games.

Re: Poll: Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
I put over 600+ hours into the DS original. At this time, I have already put in about 14 hours into the Switch version. The game is great, and well polished and definitely fun. Tho, I will say, having put a ton of time in the original, that this version doesn't have the same charm as the original. The music is different, the design is different, the Stamps/Challenges are gone, so, the rewards are gone (that I can tell so far, anyways). This game has more of a 'checklist' of achievements per game, like, beating on every difficulty, than it does 'challenges' like the original. So, not quite the same, definitely a different feel to the game. But, considering that it's made by a different developer, I get that it's different. But still fun. Will definitely put a lot of time into this version.
Re: Reminder: You Can Download A Free Version Of Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics
I got the full version myself. I put easily 600+ hours into the DS version. Maybe more. I'm sure I'll put another 600+ hours into this game, so, full version it is.

Re: How Well Do You Know Nintendo Hardware?
Nice. 10/10, tho, this one was definitely harder -
https://i.ibb.co/rcCPwSn/fdffff.png
1) Process of Elimination, as I knew 3 out of the 4 were right.
2) I've known this answer for a long time, and, it's also obvious if you just think about it
3) This had bee reported on a lot, during its run
4) I knew the "Ultra" codename, so, went with the only option with a "U"
5) Educated Guess. I didn't remember it, but I did remember reading about it. Thought it might of been another one, but, took a guess and got lucky
6) I had the Indigo version (with the 3rd party monitor attachment as well), so, I knew right away.
7) I knew this codename too, as well as the others for other consoles too
8) Day 1 Purchase for me. I was there from the beginning. I still love this console. Completely underrated.
9) Honestly, I didn't know. So, I guessed between the two American sounding names, as that seemed logical. Just got lucky with the guess.
10) This is the most recent one I've known about. And, I have the controller, and have shown it off too, so, I knew what it was before even having to look at the possible options
Still happy with with performance, but, again, definitely harder, and made more guesses than I normally do. But, still proud of the results. Even if I had missed some, these are good challenges.
Re: Feature: Potential Switch Port Round-Up - The Wii U Games That Haven't Come To Switch
@dewokkel I have "Zombie Army Trilogy" for the Switch. So there's that. I have fun with that game. Basically just "Sniper Elite with zombies", if you've never played it. But yeah, I loved ZombiU. I played it a lot, and beat it multiple times. It's a shame that it was rushed. It was originally revealed to be alien invasion game, but the aliens were too small and hard to hit, so, they changed it to zombies instead, right before E3 that year and basically started over from scratch. But, they desperately wanted it to be a launch title, so that they could say that they had the "first must have title" on the Wii U. But because they changed concepts so late in the process, they didn't have time to do everything that they wanted. Nintendo planned on Pikmin 3 being a launch title but, they knew it wasn't ready, so they pushed it back, and it didn't release until August the next year. But, Ubisoft refused to push back ZombiU to properly finish it, and thus, had to cut things. They cut the multiplayer aspect down, and cut out some weapons, and some levels, and other things, and said that they would put those in the sequel instead of trying to put them in the first game, as planned. But, because they rushed the game, and refused to push it back finish it, because they were so dead set on it being a launch title, the game wasn't all it could of been. Which is a shame, because it was still a good game, that I had lots of fun with. But extra time working on it could of made it so much better. But, because it was incomplete when it released, it didn't sell well, and then the sequel got cancelled because of it. Which is a shame. But it would be nice if they Remastered ZombiU for the Switch (tho, the title would just have to be "Zombi" like the other consoles, as the U wouldn't make sense, and you obviously can't use the "tch" from the end of "Switch", as Zombi ends in "bi", and, that would just be bad if they named it that, for obvious reasons). But yeah, a full remaster of the game, with, hopefully, the extra stuff that they didn't have time to complete the first time around, would be great. I'd love to play the game again, on the Switch, if they did that.
Re: Feature: Potential Switch Port Round-Up - The Wii U Games That Haven't Come To Switch
Since it's already well assumed that the Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, and Xenoblade games are coming, I would want the NES Remix Pack, and ZombiU to come to the Switch. I played a lot of those on the Wii U. I don't see the other games on this list making the jump to the Switch. But I would love to see NES Remix Pack and ZombiU make it over. Those would be great to have on the Switch.
Re: How Well Do You Know Classic '80s Arcade Games?
10/10.. 3 quizes in a row, 10/10. Nice..
https://i.ibb.co/58YBynD/ffff.png
1) I've known this since the 80s.
2) This one is famous, for obvious reasons
3) A classic game, for sure
4) Obvious, especially if you've played all of the game options
5) Another obvious one. Don't even need to know the arcade versions to guess this.
6) A classic scene, and, I used to play that same arcade machine
7) This one might trick some people, but if you remember the Konami Code, you'll remember the right answer.
8) I know this story well
9) Don't even have to play any of the games, if you've seen the movie
10) Honestly, this one was a guess to me, as its been a while since I've played this game, let alone at the arcade, and I didn't remember the names of any of the songs. So, total guess.

Re: How Well Do You Know Mario?

1. Obvious answer
2. I was there from the beginning
3. I don't know what a "Sommelier" is, but I know he was the other professions, so, process of elimination.
4. Played the first game a LOT.
5. Obvious answer.
6. Took a guess, but vaguely remember this range being mentioned before.
7. I played "Clash" on the Virtual Boy at a store kiosk back when it first released, and I owned the Typing and Baseball games. So, process of elimination.
8. I own all of the Switch games with 'Mario' in the title, so I just named off what I owned.
9. If you've played the game, you'd know.
10. This has been "Common Knowledge" for basically forever now.

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
@dDankGM @Zach777 Yeah. I have a 1TB card too. I need it. I currently have 154 Digital games, and 62 Physical games. And I have more games that I plan on getting, when they release, as well as games that are already released that I just haven't bought yet. So, this 1TB isn't going to last forever. Will definitely need to upgrade to a higher size, whenever they make one. But yeah, I enjoy, and need, my 1TB card.
That said, I have most of the games on this list. Not all, but most. I like some better than others, but I like the genre as a whole, and will check out more in the future, when more inevitably get made.

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (Europe)
I went to the store to buy Bubble Bobble 4 Friends and Zombie Army Trilogy, physically. But, none of the stores I went to had them. So, then I started calling around instead, and everyplace that I called said that because of the pandemic, all of their shipments had been delayed. So, some stores said that they don't expect to receive their shipments of these games for at least another week or so. Some said they don't expect them until after April 20th. So, I'll wait until I can get those games physically, as I prefer physical copies over digital copies. But, I have plenty of other games to play in the meantime. So, I'll be ok.

Re: Clubhouse Returns This June With 51 Tabletop Classics From Around The World
I easily put over 500 hours into the DS version. In fact, my best friend borrowed my DS-Lite just so she could play Clubhouse Games on it. But she loved it so much, and played it daily, that she kept it in her purse, took it everywhere, and played everywhere. Was always on it while on break at work, or anywhere else. Was laying in bed playing it every night, etc. But, she refused to give it back, because she loved it so. I ended up buying her her own pink DS-Lite and a copy of the game just so I could get my DS-Lite back. She still plays that game on her pink DS-Lite to this day. I don't know how many hours she's put into that game, but it was definitely her favorite DS/3DS game.
I've already pre-purchased this game new Switch version. I will definitely put 500+ more hours into this game too. This was the most exciting announcement from the Nintendo Direct Mini for me. Tho, I will definitely be picking up other games from the direct too (like Borderlands and Burnout Paradise, and others). But Clubhouse Games and Advance Wars were the 2 games that I wanted most on the Switch, and kept telling everybody that I couldn't wait for them to be made. Tho, honestly, I thought Advance Wars had a better chance of showing up than Clubhouse Games did. But I'm extremely excited to get Clubhouse Games. Again, I've already bought it.
Re: PlatinumGames Is Revealing Its Fourth And Final Surprise On 1st April
April 1st is the day that I don't go on the internet, at all. I just work, watch movies, and play video games all day. I never read anything online about anything on that day. My brother, on the other hand, will not realize what day it is, and read something, and call me up all excited and tell me something like "oh my god, did you hear, they just started filming the live action The Legend of Zelda movie today", and I'll have to stop him and tell him that it's fake, and he'll go, "no, no, it's real, I just read it online, it's real", and I'll have to break it to him I guarantee him that it's fake because it's April 1st today, and he won't want to believe it, and still tell me that it's online, and I'll have to repeat that it's April 1st, so not to believe anything. Then he gets all disappointed about it. But yeah, April 1st is the one day I don't look up anything about anything, nor believe anything that anybody tries to tell me that they read online. Not even my only brother.
