Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?

OctolingKing13

im having a great time with it. it would be very difficult to go back haha. i love the bigger size, better hardware, the joy con 2’s and all of the little charming details in it. nintendo didnt take many risks, and i think that was the way to go! 9/10! i hope for more joy con colors in the future and possibly themes too 😅
@stevep and by the end of the year itll be raining games 😝

wow jim good job on the p switches done!! theres so many 😭
i just finished a link to the past on snes, and it might beat totk for my favorite zelda art style. the story was also surprisingly good, and the combat as well. the only thing that irked me slightly was all yhe backtracking but thats okay 😝😝 now this weekend im going to go start Majoras Mask which i am very much looking forward to since it seems exactly my vibe.
also, mario kart world with family and friends, duh!!!

Re: Back Page: Every Game Should Have A Cow

also do all these games have and option to switch the language to “moo?” i feel like nintendo should make these games more accessible to cows PLAYING the games

Re: Talking Point: Do You Have A New Go-To Racer In Mario Kart World?

OctolingKing13

mannnn it’s too early to pick a main!!! in eight mine was cat peach but i guess nintendo hates me so thats cool. right now im gravitating toward rosalinas aurora costume, i love it, and also burger toad is a favorite ofc. however when i unlock rocky wrench…things may change
p.s. also what are the time trails and roaslina?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)

ive been going through link to the past, fantastic game! its so charming and the music is so pretty!!!! after that ill do majoras mask but i want to beat both before DK comes rolling!
also been playing a lot of Mario Kart World with fam and friends, and i am trying to get gold and three stars on each knockout tour, but its sooo difficult. much fun in there tho!
happy gaming guys! 🎀

Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025

OctolingKing13

the direct (unfortunately) convinced me to buy this day one i think. the world looks huge, and the gameplay looks sooo fun. unresistably fun. and the story doesnt look half bad, i love the addition of pauline and singing! the music, graphics, EVERYTHING just looks so charming. however, since im not a huge donkey kong fan i think prime 4 or kirby air riders or even mario kart might get my vote. of course, i dont know until i play them 😝
@PikminMarioKirby right ?!! i feel like people have been overlooking kirby air riders, the sneak peak of it looks like its gonna be a big one. and sakurai leading it? i think it could bring the kirby series to greater heights honestly!

Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?

OctolingKing13

@BenAV look, i get the dissatisfaction with the price tags and whatever, and i can understand why you dont like yhe chaos, but why is it boring to you? i feel like this is the least boring entry of the series. like you can literally play as “Cataquack”, ride on a dinosaur, flip up a geyser, squish people with a mega mushroom, and do crazy rail shortcuts. while racing a variety of characters in quirky carts. so im really curious what would make it “not” boring for you 😂

Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?

OctolingKing13

i know most people havent been satisfied with it, but i love it. you can lose hours in the world, and i love looking at all yhe details! clearly a lot of love and effort was put into it, even if its not botw scope. i do think its a missed opportunity to add boss battles/rewards for missions, but i understand that mightve been too much, cant wait to 100% this 😝

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th June)

OctolingKing13

today im starting A Link to the Past since im obsessed with the zelda timeline after finishing OOT (still THINKING about the game). also love my snes games, so im excited to play!
im also gonna keep playing the glorious Mario Kart World, with family and by myself. Fifteen hours in, and still so much i want to do in it…trying to unlock all the characters and find a ufo 😛
also i played splatoon 3 the day of the update and wow soo much smoother, and now i want to go back to the splatlands. sighhh
wow i have too much i want to play good grief why am i yearning for a direct 😰
anyways happy gaming, nintendolife residents!!! we are for sure keeping busy 🥳

Re: Splatoon Raiders, A New Splatoon Spin-Off, Is Confirmed For Switch 2

OctolingKing13

phew, nintendo you cant just surprise me like that good grief! wow, a splatoon exclusively single player game is what ive dreamed of for a long time, im so hyped! and the return of deep cut!!! ack! the visuals are gorgeous, and the style looks amazing. okay ill stop yapping but wow. i cannot wait for more info.
also splatoon 3’s technical update is deffo gonna lure me back into the game!!! june 12th 🥳🥳
i think this might be the end of hope for a direct for june though, which is sad. im predicting one early september, and maybe a DK direct and metroid prime 4 and drag + drive announcement for august

Re: Hardware Review (In Progress): Nintendo Switch 2 - A Faster, Slicker, Sexier Switch

OctolingKing13

mine is amazing so far, 9/10 for me! no desire to go back three hours of use in haha. im glad team NL is enjoying it for the most part, and im excited to hear their final verdict!
@WiiWouldLikeToPlay no offense but why do you have to do a negative top comment 😔 i get the price is frustrating, but focusing on positive stuff is good too 🙃
@FishyS i hope youre able to snag one, good luck 😸

Re: Poll: With One Week To Go, What Are Your Switch 2 Launch-Day Plans?

OctolingKing13

i am so hyped for next week, it will be a happy one indeed! i unfortunately have NOT landed a prenorder anywhere despite many desperate attempts, and even though i fulfilled all the requirements and signed up day one nintendo still hasnt sent me a invite 😔😔 so im hoping to go to a midnight launch at best buy or gamestop, but i have no clue what time ti be there. i rly want it launch day, so hopefully my (and all of ours”) wishes come true 🥳 i will be getting the mkw bundle, so so SO excited for World, and then maybeee street fighter and welcome tour. i was thinking id replay through botw or totk in the switch 2’s beautiful enhancements as a treat 😝 no accessories for me tho, im too broke!!!
