@Francema I got about 17-18 hours out of Link’s Awakening. I’ve never played the original ( played other Zelda titles so familiar with general layout). I think I was missing 9 seashells and I didn’t play much of Dampe’s dungeon builder but it was well executed. Overall I was not upset about the value of the game.

Always room on the old wishlist 😅

This looks cool!

There were some fantastic games but thank goodness that 2018 and then 2019 happened. I only care for a handful of these games.

For the life of me I cannot get that old man’s hat!

As soon as I finish the Goose game I’ll be diving into this!

I’ve already preordered Witcher and Luigi’s Mansion. RingFit and Overwatch are definitely on my list too but I may wait to pick them up- especially since I’ve preordered Mario/ Sonic, Just Dance, and Pokémon for November. Big maybes are A Hat in Time and Little Town Hero but I’d like to see some reviews.

I’ll be finishing up Link’s Awakening- I have the egg left. I’ve never played the original but the remake is good! Once I finish that up I’ll be starting the Goose game and then Ori. Ideally I’d get those tied up before Witcher comes out.

@gaga64 That price is very good for Bastion! I bought it on sale for $10 a while back and enjoyed the game. That price is a steal!

I’m not crazy about the look of the game but it’s very weird. I guess time will tell if it’s a good weird.

I like the art style and the premise.

Joy con drift would be my main reason for not buying a Switch lite. It was one thing to send in my joycon for repair and I was still able to play but being without my system would be hard. That being said it does seem to be a tad early for an issue but who knows. I experienced drift within a few months of owning mine but I didn’t send it in until it got too unbearable to play with it.

@Anti-Matter This isn’t a digital only game.

I’l be finishing the Ori demo before jumping into Links’s Awakening. Having never played the original I’m pretty excited. After LA I’ll be playing the Goose game.

@SuperCharlie78 I was looking at Sayonara Wild until I saw it was part of Apple Arcade- kind of turned me off from buying it on Switch. I think everyone just has different opinions on what’s a good value to them. I would rather pay for video games than go to the movie theater personally. As much as I love a good burger I’d take some tacos and margaritas for the same price.

So it looks like based on the reviews I can expect around 4-5 hours with everything the game has to offer ( I believe it the review said a couple hours for the story and then further on it said another few hours completing the challenges). So I think with a launch price of $15 for 4 hours is not too bad ( $3.75/ hour). Ideally I like around $2/hour but I’ve had plenty of games that cost a little more and are worth it IMO ( South Park since I didn’t buy it on sale cost more but was a lot of fun). I’ll pick this up and hopefully have a good time- based on the review I think I will.

This looks pretty cool. Depending on the price I may bite.

I was planning on buying this game at release but I can’t snub my nose at a demo- never know if I end up saving money or making an unplanned purchase.

Seeing as how I haven’t even touched the paid DLC of BotW and Splatoon since buying I doubt I will be partaking in this. Just too many other games I want to play and get into. I don’t mind the idea of paid DLC if it’s meaningful and compliments a full game experience.

I’ll be downloading The Goose game when it’s available- if it was a preorder I already would have it ready. I’ll be eagerly awaiting for my Zelda to arrive tomorrow.

Ordered this to play with my kid. Hopefully it’s fun since I’ve never played a game in this series!

I’ll be starting Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice this weekend. Also thinking about going for more collectibles in Celeste or playing MM2.
Happy gaming all!

@dugan I had a hard time with Celeste as well. I’ve just finished the story mode and wondering if I should play more/ get more strawberries and collectibles. It’s fun and satisfying to play but it is hard and frustrating.

I’ve been looking forward to this since it was announced. Shame they’re releasing it on October since there’s so much coming out. I will pick this up probably around spring.

I love a good demo so I’ll probably try it out. Can’t say this was ever on my radar to buy but maybe I will be so blown away that I will needs it immediately.

@AxeltheCorvikni the chart says it includes digital sales- I know Amazon, GameStop, and I think even Best Buy we’re giving copies away with new console sales for weeks.

This was not what I was expecting... looks way better imo.

@bro2dragons 873 deaths?! That’s it?! 😅 I’m well over 4000 now...

Celeste infuriates me. The platforming is tough as nails. But... but I’m still playing it despite the constant deaths and curses. The story is great and there is something pretty fantastic about getting the stupid strawberry that I died 118 times for ( you may think I’m exaggerating). The news of 100 more ridiculous levels is not “Yay!” But rather “Ugh!” Since I’ll feel compelled to try them out and once I try them I’ll be sucked into this infinite hellhole of “ one more try!” Celeste to me is the epitome of Love/ Hate experience.. sitting right next to Hollow Knight..

@graysoncharles haha! All of them? I’ve got like over 20 of these thing within 15 miles of me. There are more GameStops in my location than Starbucks.

Maybe without so many brick and mortar stores to operate they can concentrate their efforts on being competitive with prices. It’s a shame though. I was pretty sad when Toys R Us did this and then ended up going under but they actually made some effort of staying competitive what with decent sales and price matches.

I played the demo recently and was surprised about how easy the controls were and the battles were fun and satisfying. The look was good too. That being said I will not be partaking in this game simply because I think that I’ll play for a bit and then in will sit gathering dust. Especially with all these big games I’ve got coming to be in the next few months.

I eagerly await this gem! If it’s anything like Overcooked it will a blast!

Bluetooth audio. That’s all.

I’ll wait for reviews on this one. Otherwise it looks like it would be fun.

@BlueOcean Thanks for clarifying that! That sounds much more feasible for Switch.

I’ll probably end up getting an Xbox around Black Friday since there’s bound to be some great deals and there’s just some games I’m itching to get into. I can’t be too mad about the second Ori being an exclusive - Nintendo has great exclusives.

@BlueOcean I’m a big advocate for game pass coming to Switch but the more I get to thinking about it is it possible? Some of those games- Gears, Wolfenstein, etc are huge downloads. Wouldn’t there be a lot of work to make them run on Switch? If we do get game pass would it just be a limited version of it? I think without streaming games it may not be a full experience.

I haven’t picked up any newly released eshop games as of yet but I plan on picking up Hotline Miami, AER, and possibly Lone Sails at some point.

Since I’ve finally finished Youngblood ( I got ~45 hours), I’ve gotten back into playing Celeste. This game is simply frustratingly addictive. I’m on chapter 7 now! I’m not sure if I’ll go back for all the strawberries/ b- sides yet since some of them are so hard to find/ get. I also did end up picking up Hellblade during a sale so I’ll be starting that soon. Maybe I’ll get in on some of that SNES action too. Try to tie up some loose ends before Zelda later this month.

@nintendork64 She’s a keeper! Gaming with a significant other is awesome! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

@JTTS No Man’s Sky is a game I’d LOVE to see hit Switch someday. I can dream!

This actually looks pretty neat. I think this will do a lot better than people imagine. I myself will tune in to see more next week.

This games looks interesting. I’ve never played a lot of pinball games but I’ll be giving this a try.

I doubt I’ll be inviting a group of people over to watch me flounder on the floor for a bit. I can already imagine my 4 y.o. Cackling..

There are still worthwhile NES games to add?!!! I’ll be upset when a new obscure NES game is added. I don’t mind them spacing the games out more. I’m sure they’re looking at the precedent this is setting and realizing that people are going to be expecting N64 games next year.

The question is can I use these controllers for other non SNES games? Then I’d be sold.

I thought there was a lot of stuff in the direct. I’ll admit I was hoping for a Mario but there’s such a good variety I can’t be upset. The more I see about Animal Crossing the more excited I am! I preordered Pokémon Shield awhile ago but I have to say that every time I see more info about the game I question that decision.

This one looks really neat- can’t wait to try it out!

Hurray!! 😀 and 40 min to boot?!

This looks great! It’d be awesome if we see this in spring!

I’ll be picking up Zelda, Ori, and Untitled Goose. Great month overall though!

Still putting some time into Youngblood- another mission opens up when I’ve finished another. I’ve gotten a little over 40 hours into this game which is much more than I expected due to the price point and all the negative reviews. I simply don’t agree with all the negativity surrounding this game.
Thinking of picking up Hellblade on Switch since it’s on sale and I’ve been waiting for a sale but I’m really undecided on whether I’ll Like it.
I also redownloaded DQ demo on Switch- I felt that the hour and a half I put in probably wasn’t enough to base judgement on. Now I’m wondering if I’m trying to like it more than I actually do cause I’ve been wanting to try it. 😅 I still hate listening to the game though.
