I appear to be having the most joy online with Waluigi and Big Horn combo

I’m playing Work on a Saturday simulator then later this evening and all through Sunday, I’m hitting the online tracks on MKW. I may also dip into No Man’s Sky NS2 edition.
Happy gaming all

The realistic plan for me was getting the MKW bundle and then next payday, I’ll pick up a third party game (most likely Cyberpunk), although I’m wondering if I might just be satisfied with the TOTK upgrade.
The other factor to consider is that many of us probably have a huge backlog of switch 1 games somewhat removing the direct need for new games. I’m having a great time testing out performance boosts for my favourite switch games. Check out Switchup on YouTube, they’re doing a great series replaying old games and the results are mostly brilliant.
The other factor and most deciding is money.

Grabbing my popcorn for the lore discussions 🤓

On Thursday, I managed to complete Nintendo Switch Stock Checker on Google Chrome. A long tedious game that requires quite a bit of patience. Bloody great ending though. With that out the way, I’ve finally got round to Mario Kart World and oh my. I also have my girls for father’s day so we know what we’re doing all day tomorrow 😁 MK party!

Ahh I wonder how much more insane runs can get now with more power. Got to a point on the OG Switch where I was crashing the game due to how many golden eggs one character had

Amazing to hear. Will be getting this on Friday after I go pick up my NS2. Very excited

The Switch 2 FOMO is real. This weekend I’ll be playing Nintendo Switch Stock Checker on Google Chrome. In between that, I’m sure I can squeeze in some Capcom Fighting Collection 2
Happy S2 weekend people

@Anti-Matter
I always thought you didn’t like violence in games in general? Has that changed or are you jumping on the PS5 master console bandwagon again?

The GOATs strike again 🤩

The daughter and I have been playing Capcom Fighting Collection 2 since Friday and we’ve settled on Project Justice as one of our faves.

For me, operation backlog will be continuing on the NS. I am in absolutely no rush to get the NS2, I’m still hyped to get it one day but for the moment, I’m happy with my current collection and seeing how the launch goes. I look forward to hearing everyone talking about it though. Exciting times to be a gamer.

Alex Garland is an exceptional writer. I can’t imagine this ever getting the go ahead if they didn’t have faith in it. I hope they don’t go heavy on the CGI. Exciting times

Monster Train 2?! But what about operation backlog 🤯

Operation backlog has been paused for the moment as I’ve just purchased Labyrinth of the Demon King so I’ll be dungeon crawling tonight once work is out the way.
Happy gaming all

Operation shave away at the backlog before Switch 2 continues. I’m playing between Astral Ascent, Darkest Dungeon 2, Neon White and attempting some arcade runs on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, mainly Alpha 3.
I saw the ending of Shotgun Cop Man yesterday, now it’s time to clean up the level checklists.

Isaac is still the GOAT in 2025. I’ve had it since its (Switch) release. Clocking in way over 1000hrs and could still happily play it for a 1000 more. Insane replayability

Oh my days, I’ve just done the tutorial. I can already tell this is top tier. I’ve got a day off tomorrow so I know what I’m doing tonight!
Costs £8.99… mad

Will snap this up eventually. I’ve got a real taste for capcom fighting collections since the MVC one.

This news article made me realise I haven’t been on it since it released. So I deleted it from my phone 🤷‍♂️ Thanks Nintendo Life

This will be the first time I will keep the predecessor to a new console. There’s value in having multiple switch’s in the house for multiple reasons, for me anyways. I also can’t betray the console that rekindled my love for gaming.

Sounds amazing on paper. The trailer really has not sold me on it though.

1080 Avalanche, Wave Race, Eternal Darkness and Viewtiful Joe get my vote. The first 3 make any GameCube starter kit list

SC2 is one of the goats

My daughters are staying with me for the Easter break from today, so I can imagine we’ll be playing the 3 M’s, MVC collection, Mario and Minecraft.

Innovation in itself bridging the gap between PC and console gaming. I’m very excited about the mouse feature and all the pc games that will be developed with a switch 2 port in mind.

With all the Switch 2 hype, it’s made me realise I may not get the chance to get through my huge back catalogue so I’ve made it my mission to get through some old unfinished games.
Starting with Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy, man I forgot how tough this game was and I played it back on the ps1 when I was 10 and I don’t remember it being this difficult. Old man reaction times. Very much enjoying it though, going for perfect scores and time trials is going to be a challenge.

Being open world, I can imagine Nintendo are going to surprise us with a track creator like GTA online. Got a feeling this is where the price tag is being justified

@hbkay
Hades revitalised the Roguelite genre by having a progressive story, well written characters and a fully voiced cast (with very little repetition in voicelines). You didn’t mind if you died in this because it naturally progressed the story. The gameplay is solid as well.

Brilliant presentation. Showcased so much of the console, they gave us answers and not left much else to speculation. The only down point of the whole thing is the paid for tech demo, it’s 1-2 Switch all over again but worse. But hey, you don’t have to buy it. Other than that, I can not wait. Exciting time to be a gamer

RIP legend, rest well

Today I’ve been playing ‘work on a Saturday simulator’. I’ve been on a sonic hype lately so going to alternate between, shadow generations, mania and origins for the rest of the weekend. Happy gaming all

Maybe he’s Banksy? 🤷‍♂️ haha

@KoopaTheGamer
Personally I think MM3 would as well. But this is Nintendo, and Nintendo do not tend to do logical things

My money is on 1-2 Mouse being a launch title over Metroid Prime 4 and I’m not even joking.
Gotta show off that mouse functionality like it’s a new feature never used before in games.

This sounded delightful up until reading it runs pretty much at 20fps. Switch 2 can’t come sooner

Lots of fond memories of first playing Oblivion. It’s not without its glaring faults but still a great game nonetheless

I voted for The Binding of Isaac: Repentance, I won’t be satisfied with that game until every mark on every file is obtained.
In terms of Switch exclusives, Super Mario Maker 2 easily

Saw the great review score for Sorry We’re Closed and instantly purchased. Been playing since Thursday and enjoying so far. So will be mainly playing that.
The Stone of Madness had a recent QOL patch so going to see if that’s in a better state and crack on with that as well.

Happy gaming all

Been saying since XC2 that Game Freak could learn a thing or two from Monolith Soft. This is a step in the right direction to refresh the series.
Now what would be the icing on the cake is Pokemon having a levelling system similar to ‘Blades’ from XC2

@Zeebor15 you ok bro?

XCX is on the pre-order. I can’t wait!

Nice, will pick this up as a physical for sure!

First game is 11/10 on par with Slay the Spire. This is a day one purchase for me

I cannot understate the day my Mum told me she got a new Mario game for me and how disappointed (and equally ungrateful) 8 year old me was to read “Warioland: Super Mario Land 3”. Little did I know that it would quickly become my favourite Gameboy game of all time.

I am on the final level of Turbo Overkill or I think I am anyways. It’s the best FPS I’ve played since Doom Eternal. Can’t wait to replay it again to get all the secrets.
Happy gaming all

Day one for realsies 😁

Screw GAME, can’t remember last time I or anyone else used them.

Turbo Overkill baby! And since the announcement of Warioland 4, since it’s an obvious clone, I want to go back to where it all began on Pizza Tower.
Then I still got a ways to go on Elder Lillies so will be jumping on that as well.
Happy gaming all

I’ve been playing this since its release on Switch. I love it!
The movement and traversal system once it clicks, is just superb. It’s a perfect blend of Doom Eternal and Titanfall. The guns are big and crunchy and the bullets are always flowing.
There’s a decent story with voice acting (Cyberpunk Revenge story with end of Days Doom like world building (/destroying?) on top).
The level design is mostly pretty great with huge arenas to battle gauntlets of enemies. Odd questionable level design here and there though but this is very few and far between. Levels can last between 20 to 50 minutes on first play through. Lots of secrets to find. There are some amazing action movie like set pieces that’ll blow your mind.
Controls are incredibly responsive in terms of traversal. Auto aim is your friend. But manual aiming is a bit naff, the game is sooo quick and would benefit from Gyro cus the stick aiming is too slow, and is over sensitive to tuning. No option to remap buttons either.
Performance is not bad, there are small frame dips on the really busy sections but does not detract from the fast gameplay and the 100s of enemies coming at you at once. Graphics are old school with modern touches.
In terms of value for money, this costs about 15/16 quid. Some insane amount content here for that price. A fully fleshed out campaign, arcade and survival modes. Five difficulties. I haven’t even mentioned the sublime techno soundtrack. The game is not perfect but has easily become my favourite game of the year so far.

TL:DR - This is Cyberpunk Eternal.
