NX-3318

Somehow this was the best trailer to me that has been put out for the game and it came right at the end… also the game feels INCREDIBLE to control, a million times better than it looks from all gameplay videos!! I was going to skip the NS2 upgrade pack for a while but after 10 minutes the jaggies weren’t doing justice to the visual presentation, which is unbelievably beautiful. Can’t wait to play more!!!

Going to get the Switch 1 physical copy and forgo the Switch 2 edition upgrade pack for the first couple hours just out of curiosity for what it’ll look like (plus I kinda don’t like the subtitle it adds to the icon/title screen)

Just yesterday I was about to grind unlocking the Kamek transform characters and gave up because it wasn't fun, but I just did it now and got 5 characters in no time flat with custom items and the new "next race" button 😁

When the mouse controls upgrade comes out I’m going to spend hours and hours making patterns… Hopefully I can do something as cool as these!!

I kind of feel like giving this a shot…

I love this, reminds me of many years ago sending in things to magazines and the excitement of seeing it be printed!!!

Played it a bit and it’s better than the Metroid Prime: Blast Ball spiritual successor I thought it was. Still a bit bland in the visuals department though.

I don’t know if I really like using mouse controls on my legs, it’s kind of pants.

I wish there was a way to disable it, I’d love to use the default brown fur but the way it turns orange is just is not cool. But the other colors are nice at least.

I can tell I have full bananergy with the circular meter that’s always on screen…

Looks good gonna check it out soon

The SNES app also got upgraded to 4K and it looks insanely crispy now versus the 1080p input from before. There was a hint of the 4K NES in the Mario 3D World “Luigi Bros” unlockable game, and I couldn’t believe my eyes at the difference between 1080p and 4K, I was eagerly awaiting the Nintendo Classics apps to be updated to 4K and now it’s here. Super Metroid looks amazing. The CRT filter has also been updated to the more advanced variant like is available on the N64 app. Can’t wait for the rest of the apps to get the 4K update.

Oh and Mario Paint is cool too.

What about the Wii U era amiibo commercial for Smash Bros where the kid is daydreaming about his crush and buys the Mario amiibo because she’ll have the Peach amiibo, he has an internal monologue “Mario and Peach together, Me and Gina together”

Sweet I kinda want to get this, I sold my DMG GB to buy a NS1 Pro Controller and I kind of miss it even though it never got played, but the Game Boy and Kirby’s Dream Land was my introduction to video games and Nintendo (at age 4 in 2005) so it has a really special place in my memories. Though I sold my dmg I kept my original Kirby game pak, pity that’s not one of the recreated in Lego form game paks…

Huge nitpick but I hope they someday fix the home menu icon so that the golden border design is rounded to match the new rounded corners on Switch 2 so that it’s not cropped out

That aside this compilation was great, I 100% Sunshine which was so fun despite the jank. When it eventually comes to NSO I’m definitely using the save points function though. Hopefully rewind gets added to GCN app as well.

My first Pro Controller took 6 years to start drifting, and by then I wanted a new one anyway (had the Splatoon 2 one and got tired of it and got the default gray one instead)

Even battery degradation was not an issue over six years, and even if it was you can still use it while plugged in to the system.

The only thing I needed to open my Pro Controller for was to get a better look at the secret message on the circuit board, just for fun.

Wario Land 4 is art

NEED those Jibbitz 😍😍 I like Crocs so much I even got a pair in Fortnite 😓 I hope something Wario-themed comes out in the future, I’ve been obsessed with Wario Land 4 lately and Wario seems like he’d wear Crocs

I just hope these are actually coming and it’s not just some placeholders they used just to evaluate how artwork looks in the app or something… Forsaken 64 being in the base N64 app and not the mature one is kind of weird because the box art has an M on it, but I found it rated T on the ESRB site so maybe it was re-rated for this 🤔

Tried out the update on Switch 2 and it definitely isn’t running at 1080p. Frame rate is better than when I played on the original system but I’m going to uninstall it now because I can’t even get into an online game for some reason.

Excited to get my hands on this game, I love Shantae in general but especially with the pixel graphics like Risky's Revenge for DSi

From all the stuff I’ve seen about this game it looks like it has about the same or less content than the free Metroid Prime: Blast Ball demo

This would make me shed a tear 😵 sniffle sniffle

Just in time for Big Run this weekend, haven't played in a while but was coming back to play that so nice that it lined up with this new update. I'm gonna spend a lot of time reliving Grand Festival as well!!

This is my most played Switch 1 game (over 1,000 hours) even though it was basically impossible to play well due to performance issues. I’m really happy with how it runs on Switch 2. It’s so much more playable. The mouse controls work quite nicely but I’m used to gyro aiming and am going to stick with that.

When it was announced for Switch at E3 2017 I rolled my eyes with disappointment but Fortnite is now one of my favorite games… 😓

The menus definitely have become cluttered recently but it’s very easy to ignore all the user created creative modes and just focus on Battle Royale and the other in-house Epic Games modes.

Another neat feature that has returned is video captures which were disabled on Switch 1 many years ago. On Switch 1 to get clip captures you had to connect with a third-party app, and the recording would tank performance even worse, and the clips actually appearing in the app was unreliable. So being able to just get clips instantly with the native OS is great.

LAN connection on the Switch 2 dock has also been great over the Switch 1 Wi-Fi.

I still wish Nintendo let Samus be in the game, or that Epic accepted the compromise that Nintendo wanted to have her in.
