Personally I would like them to try something crazy, even if it fails (at least the software would be good). But if they did continue with the switch I’d still be all for it, one of the better consoles I’ve ever owned (could’ve been no.1 with a few improvements)
I voted Tetris as number one, and pac man as runner up. They (along side Mario) feel like the biggest ground breakers in gamings history, but there are a tone of games nominated here (and many which are not) that I can also see strong arguments for.
Completely agree. Even if the devs are ‘only’ working 40 hour weeks, over the course of a few years that’s a lot of work these strangers are putting into our entertainment. Not to say games that are broken or flawed shouldn’t be highlighted for them, the customer (usually) works hard for their spending money too and should be aware of potential downsides to the project. But the term lazy in this context is just ignorant and entitled.
Not sure. Maybe I’ll get back to guardians of the galaxy. Other than that it feels like I’m in wait mode for Forza 5, SMT V and most of all Black Friday deals which is making me a bit hesitant to buy anything at the moment.
Recently finished skyward sword hd (don’t hate me, but I prefer it to botw) and I’m near the end of dread which is likely to be my favourite metroidvania since hollow knight. Don’t know what’s next though. Monster crown, Eastward, Voice of Cards, Fatal Frame, KOTOR (never played) and Shin megami tensei (also never played) are what I’ve got my eyes on for my next switch game.
If it has to be delayed then it has to be delayed. Still looking forward to trying these games out considering all the good things people have said about that.
The first few years I swapped back and forth but now I almost exclusively use handheld mode. Only ring fit adventure really uses docked mode, and my first session playing skyward sword (then reverting back to handheld)
Looks like a nice (although unnecessary) upgrade, was thinking of going for it but then I got lucky and manage to grab a ps5. No more big spending for a little while I think.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched both splatoon 3 trailers, can’t wait for that one. Voice of Cards is interesting, the demo has mostly sold it on me but I think for this type of game the script will be the make it or break it component. Here’s hoping it’s something special. Other than that Kirby looks interesting, never played one but it looks like they’re really going for it with this one, I’ll be keeping an eye on it. Didn’t watch the trailer for Metroid because I’m already about as sold on it as can be. Hyrule warriors dlc was brief but interesting. I think I’ll wait for the remake of kotor (but maybe not), And bayonetta looks great but I’m still yet to play the second.
Deadman’s gun, far away and that’s the way it is (red dead redemption series), weight of the world and city ruins (Nier automata), rivers in the desert and beneath the mask (persona 5), night gale (gravity rush 2), main theme (three Houses), the entire journey soundtrack, pretty much anything from supergiant games. (Video game music is awesome)
I’m looking forward to giving this game a go but I won’t pre order, learned that lesson a long time ago. Wonder if they’ll add any new content like they did with xenoblade or 3D world?

Re: Poll: The Hype For Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Is High, Is It In Your Switch Plans?
I’m not too excited to play them, if I do I’ll just get the free one on game pass. Not like my switch won’t have enough to play the next few months.

Nothing for me last month from the eshop, looks like there will be plenty this month though

Re: What Pokémon Will You Be Using In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes? Nintendo Wants To Know
If I’m getting it I’m going piplup, shinx (or maybe electivire), gible, gligar, probably Lucario as always and I’m not sure who else

Finally getting around to links awakening which is fun so far. Ring fit adventure as well (even if only a bit)
