So there is a non zero chance of the Last of Us making a surprise appearance at a Nintendo Direct of all places.

Honestly I would love to see them push some of their lesser known stuff like Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter. Anything that would bring more attention to those franchises would be nice.

It would’ve been Donkey Kong if it the postal service weren’t taking their sweet time.

Trying to get into the System Shock 2 remaster. Might just also mess around with Everhood 2’s battles and whatnot.

Best case scenario they sell the IP to someone who’ll actually use it cause clearly they ain’t doing anything with it.

Playing through the Batman Arkham games on Switch 2. Other than that not much until DK comes out.

Looks better than I thought it would.

I might give this a whirl, though that awfully depends how bad their f2p model is.

Haven’t really seen a whole lot of it but I’ve heard good things about it. Hopefully an announcement is around the corner.

Not defending Nintendo for the update but cases like these make me so glad I don’t nearly as tilted as some of these people. Not the ones voicing genuine concerns, oh no, but the ones you just KNOW who get way too mad over a video game.

Definitely getting the Switch 1 physical for Shadow Labyrinth. Oh and that small little indie game Donkey Kong Bananza no one is talking about.

If we are talking about Switch/2 then my vote would go towards Pipistrello and the Cursed Yo-yo. Just a really fun Metroidvania with some impeccable GBA vibes.

Finishing up Fashion Police Squad and might swing back into Cyberpunk 2077. Also been back on my Risk of Rain 2 obsession on Switch 2 now that it runs a lot better though certainly not perfect.

@SuperBro64 As someone who went through something similar with Risk of Rain 2’s Seeker of the Storm I wouldn’t worry about it. If you enjoy the game then that’s all that matters.

Very much looking forward to this.

I FINALLY beat the “secret” boss of Deltarune’s Chapter 3 and heading into the next chapter. I also started Pokémon Violet in preparation for Legends ZA.

Dude would be owing me half a grand if it broke.

Prodeus had pretty bad performance on the OG Switch but the Switch 2 it’s a locked 60 from what I can tell.

Got the Switch 2 and I’ve mainly been fiddling around with back compact games to see which ones work and what doesn’t. On one end Klonoa crashes on boot but something like Mortal Shell of all things runs at a solid 60. For games that I’m actually playing it’s Deltarune Chapter 3 and Fast Fusion.

It’s no NBA Jam that’s for sure

Oh wow good thing I held off.

I’m glad to see it isn’t as crusty as some of the Directs have shown. Still pretty low at the list at the moment. Might just wait for the Switch 2 version.

I’ve seen plenty of nut jobs buying thousands of dollars worth of cards at my Target. Heck, some waited by the card wall for hours for a vendor that never showed up.

Just wrapped up Expedition 33! While I wouldn’t call it a masterpiece, I did really enjoy it. It definitely is held back by some of its AA jank but this game just has a lot of heart poured into it. Absolutely best soundtrack worthy. But with that out of the way I can finally start on Hundred Line Last Defense Academy.

Mario Kart charging $80 is stupid and GTA6 potentially going beyond that is equally stupid.

I’m squarely focusing on Expedition 33 until I hit credits. You can definitely feel some of its AA jank here and there but it’s one of the best thus far.

I got the code but after a restart it’s working alright… I might just not touch it till a fox comes in.

Expedition 33.
Been waiting for this since the day it was revealed and so far it’s my runner up for my personal GOTY. Hopefully I can squeeze some more hours in this weekend.

It has certainly been a rollercoaster of a week, for better and unfortunately worse. But right now I’ve got South of Midnight that I’m excited to get started and I’ve been going through Bleach Rebirth of Souls’s Story mode. Also some Tetris on the side for some comfort puzzling.

Video game adjacent I took my brother to go catch the Minecraft movie and it’s fine. Not the worst thing and I’ve had a couple of laughs.

I’m all for cheaper alternatives and it’s actually kinda cute.

Not to defend Nintendo, but I highly doubt this gave Rockstar the confidence to up their prices. They’re gonna do it because they know people will absolutely throw $100 at a new shiny GTA. If Nintendo didn’t pull the trigger, then it would’ve been Rockstar or some other greedy publisher.

I’m still excited for the system (I was already bracing for impact with some of those prices) but do believe Nintendo is poking the bear what they are charging. Times aren’t exactly easy right now especially with the economy being as rough as it is. Curious to see how this is all gonna shake out when it releases.

Not sure if I like the huge border on top. The box art itself is great, but boy that red is kinda garish.

God I’m so happy. I LOVE the Hyrule Warriors games.

There were a couple of things that interested me, but it was pretty underwhelming. This came off more as an appetizer to the actual even.

Xenoblade Chronicles X and hopefully Bleach Rebirth of Souls if that comes in.

Managed to get the day off. Can’t wait to see what this thing will be capable of.

Sounds like I’m getting this in a different platform. Shame but there’s only so much the Switch can do.

Just played the demo and it’s so dang charming.

Glad to see they’re offering a demo. Hopefully it’s not as framey as the Direct trailer.

I’m playing FEAR… 2 Project Origin. Obviously not as good as the original but it’s fun enough. Went ahead and got FEAR 3 to see what that one is about. On Switch it’s off and on with Everhood 2. I prefer the vibes of the first but I’m curious where the sequel goes.

After all of the controversies the game just leaves a bad taste.

Quite a bit of Mirror’s Edge. So much so that I picked up Catalyst so I can do that after I beat the OG.

The EU cover radiates pure “graphic design is my passion” energy.

As someone who has the SD-BD collection this is certainly not the announcement I was expecting today. Kinda wished they didn’t announce it so early but nice to know something like this exists.

I’ve already seen plenty of playthroughs of it but I’m definitely gonna get the physical if I can. Unlike LRG I actually can get fangamer games reliably in stores.

Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Unless there’s some surprise around the corner this might be my last big Switch game.

I’ve been playing a ton of Vividlope and attempting to 100% V ranks. It’s tough but I’m having fun with it. Great game I really do recommend.

On the Series X it’s been the OG Ninja Gaiden 2. Fun game but boy howdy that camera is so bad.

No offense to Xbox but how the heck are they getting it before the Switch. I never liked the original so I’m content skipping this.

Can’t wait to see Kiryu race with his friend Sonic the Hedgehog

In all seriousness this looks like a nice step up from Sonic Team Racing.

Return to Dreamland Deluxe was far more than a simple hi-rez so I’m hoping the same is applied to a potential Robobot Deluxe. Just no more Magolorland mission nonsense, yeah?
