So far I've already played some Slay the Spire, Rocket League, Fire Emblem and an hour or so of Astral Chain (though I lost concentration and accidentally restarted File 1 - so played the opening twice).
Have to say I'm utterly loving FE. 20 hours in now, and Byleth, Edelgard and Petra are unstoppable. Shame about some of the other Black Eagles I've neglected
The love for Axiom Verge and Shovel Knight continues to baffle me (I'm not calling them bad games, i just think they're nowhere near as good as so many people claim. Which I guess makes me wrong).
Can finally agree with all the love for BotW now though seeing as I finished it yesterday o/
Restarted BotW this week. Was only a dozen or so hours in anyway and hadn't touched it in about 6 months. Usual runs in Isaac, more Hob and perhaps a little more sp Towerfall. Contemplating double dipping on Rayman Legends at the current eshop price.
My favourite multiplayer game of all time. Don't claim to be good at it but score goals, save goals and have a great time doing it. Then I marvel at the ability of some of the PC gamers.
Getting a 9001-0055 error code. Wonder if I had Twitch set up to the incorrect region so they've given a code relevant for the US instead of UK. Can't think why else it won't go through.
More Picross (about 45 puzzles left of the 300) to start. Then Binding of Isaac which is rapidly cementing itself as one of my all time favourites as my main. Few (very) short games of Ikaruga for dessert.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 7th)
Astral Chain, FE3H, SMW.
All whilst trying to resist hopping on the eshop to buy Torchlight and River City Girls.

8 years. OMG, I'm so old.
Re: Disgruntled Gamers Are Review-Bombing Astral Chain On Metacritic
It's happening across the board for Switch games it seems. Fire Emblem, Dream Daddy, Edith Finch...
Re: Disgruntled Gamers Are Review-Bombing Astral Chain On Metacritic
What a sad little life some people lead.

Re: Poll: Astral Chain Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Turned up this morning from The Game Collection. Just Witcher 3 for me retail wise this year now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 24th)
Fire Emblem naturally. Might try out my 89c copy of Superbeat too.
Re: Deals: Pick Up SUPERBEAT: XONiC For Just $0.89 On The US Switch eShop
... not sure I need more copies of Bastion and Transistor, but they’re tempting...
Re: Deals: Pick Up SUPERBEAT: XONiC For Just $0.89 On The US Switch eShop
I bought $20 US eshop credit from PC Game Supply,, bought Phoenix Wright for $19.99 and then this with the gold points I earned. Super.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 17th)
@mcdreamer you and me both. Regret selling my 3ds but it helped finance the Switch at the time
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 17th)
Oh - Mark of the Ninja too. Love that game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 17th)
FE naturally. For the empire!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 10th)
Contemplating picking up the latest Tiny Metal and Forager from the eshop. Because I'm so short of stuff to play (aside, I'm really not).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 10th)
@McDanger you and me both! I took the Vita with me instead of the Switch
Re: Decade-Old DS Game Dragon Quest V Re-Entered The Japanese Charts This Week
Actually have the ios version on ipad. Horrible way to play it though.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 3rd)
I'm playing Fez on my Vita. Top ten of all time for me that.
Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of June 2019
4 from 10. Zero interest in the other 6, but what a 4.
MK8, Odyssey, BotW, Splatoon. Awesome.
Re: Rocket League's Radical Summer Event Celebrates '80s Television Next Week
I've spent nothing bar the cost of the game on RL. Could well be tempted with the car pack though...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 13th)
Not feeling the Mario Maker 2 love. Slay the Spire and XC2 instead
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 6th)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, feeling the combat a bit more
May start MM2
A few laps in Virtua Racing
Runs on StS, BoI, Dead Cells.
Oh, and I hit 100 hours in Rocket League in the week!
Re: Video: 17 Nintendo Switch Games Coming This Month
See, this is why I've had to leave MM2 for now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 29th)
Recently restarted XC2. So that. Then some more Slay the Spire; just reached act 3 for the first time but lost at the boss.
Thought I’d be all over MM2 when it was announced, but the realisation that I played so little of the original meant I cancelled my preorder.
Tempted with SlimeSan for a fiver, though I’m not short of stuff to play.
Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 And Link's Awakening Nominated For 'Best Console Game' Of E3
You spelt Astral Chain wrong.
Re: Terraria Arrives On The Switch eShop This Week
Finally! But yes. I'll wait for a sale. Have it on my Vita, PS4 and iPad already.
Fez next please indie gods.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 15th)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Restarted it as I'd only put in a few hours since getting it at launch. Back to where I think I was already.
I did the same with BotW and played it through solidly to completion second time. Feeling like this will be the same.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 4th)
Usual. Rocket League, BotW, Isaac... And now a bit of Ditto!
Re: CROSSNIQ+ Brings Dreamcast-Like 'Y2K' Arcade Puzzling To Switch In Q3
Gimme a new Wetrix. There's the 90s puzzle game I want.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 20th)
Restarted and loving BotW.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 6th)
Hob is lovely. Enjoying it. Bit more Rocket League, some Towerfall (how good is this?), Isaac and whatever else takes my fancy.
Too much choice really.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 30th)
Rocket League
Towerfall (single player - love it)
Binding of Isaac
AC Odyssey on PS4 if I can pull myself away from the Switch
Re: Get A One-Year Nintendo Switch Online Sub With Your Twitch Prime Membership
Yup. Logged in through the US account I have set up for the eshop and it now wants a payment method for automatic renewal. Balls. Messed that up!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 6th)
@bolt05 that's good to hear. Love a good DRPG.
Re: Disgaea 1 Complete - The Best Way To Rediscover This Turn-Based Tactical Triumph
Original Disgaea is my favourite. Of any game. Ever. Dood.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 29th)
Persona 4 Golden on my Vita. Only imported it in 2012 but only got a far as reaching Yukiko. This time though... Loving it.
On the Switch, I'm addicted to Dragon Quest Builders and will throw a few Dead Cells runs in there too.
