It's good that they're slowly fixing these, but i wish they'd update a few more games for the switch 2. I'm surprised stuff like xenoblade x hasn't had a boost yet.
Stuff I haven't played before hopefully, and I'm well into silksong at the moment so I don't need or even want anything urgently. I guess a few exciting announcements to fill up next year a bit, maybe Splatoon Raiders and a new Fire Emblem perhaps and I'll be content.
It's fine. Nothing to write home about. Mario Kart World feels like a bit of a downgrade from what 8 offered, knockout mode was its redeeming gimmick. Bananza was great but the gameplay loop became very repetitive around the two thirds mark. The endgame also just kind of ended even though it felt like it was building up to something cool. Left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth. Pretty much all the third party stuff I've played elsewhere (if you hadn't then it's probably been pretty good). Overall the switch 2 hasn't been too bad but I wouldn't recommend one yet.
I'm use to long waits (Ueda fan here) so it didn't bother me.
What does make me a little uneasy is how unforgiving the internet will be on them if this isn't some 10/10 masterpiece (expectations that it shouldn't have)
Blue prince is the only one I really want. Haven't played it yet and it looks like something that suits the switch. Maybe master chief collection too, they can keep infinite though.
Donkey Kong Bananza of course. I've got over 350 bananas and I believe there's over 700 altogether so I'm making good progress. So far I'd call it a solid 8/10 with my biggest complaint being how it feels like I'm just controlling one character, Pauline doesn't feel necessary to the game experience yet but from what I have gathered the games a bit back loaded so hopefully my nitpicks shall be solved there. Either way I'm still enjoying it a lot.
Ring fit as usual. I've recently finished mario Odyssey, Scarlets endgame, Echoes of wisdom and Splatoon 3's campaign, as well as putting in a decent amount of hours into mario kart World. With the splatfest next weekend and DK the week after I think this weekend will be a quite one gaming wise. I'm also considering death stranding 2 over on ps5 but I'm not in the mood for a overly long game at the moment so I think I'll wait.
I wouldn't say anything's got me too excited this year from nintendo yet, if I had waited to play split fiction on switch 2 that would have probably been it.
Finished Super Mario Odyssey this morning for the second time since launch. I stand by it that it's a overall 7/10 but that's not a bad score, loved New Donk City and Bowsers Kingdom. Also finished the end game of Scarlet. I don't really know what to play on my switch 2 now until Bananza. Mario Kart World is starting to wear thin, I've beaten Odyssey, Splatoon 3 and Echoes of Wisdom so in fairness I've had a good amount from this new console so far.
Ringfit adventure and fitness boxing as usual. Expedition 33 on ps5, what a game! I was hoping I'd finish it before the switch 2 but I'm not so sure, I'll be cutting it close if I do. I did want to play some switch 1 games, kinda of a last hoorah type of thing, I was thinking of finally getting to the end game of Pokémon violet, or having a runaround in xenoblade 3 or totk but this isn't looking likely. Only so many hours in a day, and so little time before the new console comes into my life.
For the first time in a while I have a small handful of games on half. I'm a couple of hours into citizen sleeper 2, I enjoyed it but went a few weeks without playing it. Might have to restart now. Echoes of Wisdom I'm about 25 hours into, needed a break after a while, now I think I'll just wait for the switch 2 update. Expedition 33, this is likey my goty. I don't really know if anything will touch it. I'm only 15 hours in so that could change but so far this is my priority. I also want to pick up blue Prince. It's meant to be good. Also there's doom on the horizon but with the switch around the corner and I'm still trudging through Expedition I don't know if I'll get to it anytime soon.
I changed my buying habits a while back when I got the ps5. I'm willing to spend £70 plus on certain games (Elden Ring, Red Dead 2 and TOTK, games that are both very high in the quality and quantity department) but for most it's a case of wait for the sale nowadays.
My answer is an obvious one, Zelda. Xeno 4 would be a close follow up. I really love Splatoon but I think after pouring in as many hours as I have into them a fourth one would have to do something a bit new and fresh to get me interested.
I can't help but feel it'll be updated for the switch 2 in some way so I'm gonna wait a bit longer before jumping in. Glad it's living up to the hype though, xeno 3 is one of my favourite switch games, top 3 at least.
How the times have changed, if at the begining you told me the game I couldn't live without on switch would be a fitness game.... I don't know what I would have said 🤣 (Ring Fit of course) it's just become too essential to my life. But my favourite games are TOTK, Spaltoon 2 and Xeno 3. Stuff like Three Houses, Legends Arcues, SSB Ultimate, Neon White and Nobody Saves the World are close behind.
I think the switch is my favourite console I've ever owned, it's either that or the ps3 anyways. Truth be told I don't think it's in dire need of a replacement, but clearly the end is nigh, it's earned it rest (unless ringfit adventure isn't backwards compatible in which case it'll keep on going)
They had the advantage of most people missing out on the Wii u for the switch, a bunch of rereleases filled the gaps and slow periods. With the switch 2 being backwards compatible that advantage is lost. At least that's how I see it.
I'm expecting between 450 and 550 (in UK pounds) which would be fine by me, but there's rumours it'll only be 400 which is way cheaper than I would have thought, guess we'll all wait and see.
I'm hoping both ringfit and fitness boxing games carry over, though as soon as they said certain games where exempt I predicting the worst. If they made a new ringfit however then that would be fine.
Fitness Boxing 3, after milking the demo for all it's worth I think the full game will be just about worth the upgrade from 'fist of the north' star edition. I'm considering Slay the Princess, it's meant to be good and it's on sale. Other than those probably not much Nintendo wise. I've got echoes of wisdom on half for a rainy day.
Just finished Stellar Blade on my ps5. Good action game, glad I gave it a go. My next plan was cyberpunk which I bought on black Friday but my brother's got a month of game pass on Xbox so I'll be taking advantage of that. I've been playing Indiana Jones this morning, I was enjoying it until I hit a glitch with the camera and whip and can't proceed. Really annoying. Guess I'll play hellblade 2 until a patch comes out.
I really wanted to like this game but I just couldn't get into it. Had a smidge of fun with the arena mode but the campaign didn't pull me in like the anime did.
Ringfit Adventure today, the fitness boxing 3 demo tomorrow. I don't know if it'll be a big enough upgrade over fist of the north star version to warrant buying but I'll see. I've randomly decided to give tablet gaming a go. I've had a nice tablet that cost me a penny or two for a while now and I finally thought I should give it a proper test, currently playing lol wild rift, never played those games before but after arcane I'm in the mood. Enjoying it so far.

I'll be getting to bananza at some point this weekend.

There's a heatwave where I am so no ring fit adventure this time. I'll stick to the splatfest #Team Fly.

Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Series Are You Most Excited To See Return On Switch 2?

Xeno 4 would be a close follow up.
I really love Splatoon but I think after pouring in as many hours as I have into them a fourth one would have to do something a bit new and fresh to get me interested.
Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?
I'll go with the switch one, quality over quantity, botw is the best launch game ever.

Re: Anniversary: Nintendo Switch Launched On This Day Eight Years Ago
I think the switch is my favourite console I've ever owned, it's either that or the ps3 anyways.
Truth be told I don't think it's in dire need of a replacement, but clearly the end is nigh, it's earned it rest (unless ringfit adventure isn't backwards compatible in which case it'll keep on going)
Re: Talking Point: Can Nintendo Keep Up The One-Game-A-Month Release Pace On Switch 2?
They had the advantage of most people missing out on the Wii u for the switch, a bunch of rereleases filled the gaps and slow periods. With the switch 2 being backwards compatible that advantage is lost. At least that's how I see it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas 2024 Edition)
Fitness Boxing 3, after milking the demo for all it's worth I think the full game will be just about worth the upgrade from 'fist of the north' star edition.

Other than those probably not much Nintendo wise. I've got echoes of wisdom on half for a rainy day.
