I had a great time with the Grand Festival. Had the whole weekend off, and am now on really good internet, played with friends and really got to experience the last hurrah of Splatoon 3. Even won my first ever 100x and 333x battles in my entire time playing!
@Tasuki HoTS being put on life support still hurts for me. My favorite multiplayer game, was playing up until they announced it was going into maintenance mode (the day after my birthday too!).
@Yokaisou I'm definitely enjoying the changes, one thing I've really taken into account is Innate Skills. New and interesting passives on a demon seem like they have alot of potential for interesting team building.
I'm still in the first area of Canon of Vengeance so I'll refrain from scoring, but so far it seems like some nice additions and touch ups over the original. Cant speak towards the new story yet as I've only experienced a fraction of it.
@Elbow they do both occupy different emotional spaces. I think that's a pretty fair assessment of the songs, and I think my phrasing was a bit heavy-handed in regards to Johnny Cash version. I was just flabbergasted by the NIN version being called a 💩. I've not heard of BLOOD, did it have issues?
Surprised by the comments here, Eternals mobility and speed were excellent, and I loved it. After playing it 2016 just feels too slow. Looking forward to what comes next.
@quinnyboy58 In all fairness, Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal are both excellent. Maybe not as revered as SM64 or Banjo, but great games in their own right.

This is absolutely what I want, greatly prefer Heist to the rest of them.
Re: Review: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble (Switch) - Super Single-Player, But Multiplayer's A Mess
Nothing here to dissuade me, I'm only concerned about the single player. Got it at a good price too so I'm content.
Re: Feature: 9 'Mature' Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch Online's New N64 App
I've said it before, but I'd love to have Conkers Bad Fur Day on Switch.
Re: Switch Online's "Mature" Nintendo 64 App Is Now Available In The West

Re: Random: Aloy In Smash Bros.? 'LEGO Horizon' Dev Seems Up For It
Many characters I'd rather have than Aloy.

Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nightdive Studios' Next Remaster Is 2002's 'The Thing'
@TotalHenshin Fair enough, differing tastes. 🤘
Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nightdive Studio's Next Remaster Is 2002's 'The Thing'
@TotalHenshin I think you have it backwards, NIN's Hurt > Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash BUTCHERS that song.
Re: Surreal Point-And-Click Game 'Garage: Bad Dream Adventure' Gets Switch Release
Watched a video on this some time ago, and this game is truly bizarre. Might give it a go eventually.
Re: Random: Shin Megami Tensei V Continues Heavy Metal Collabs With Slipknot
Love metal, dont care for Slipknot, but this is kinda neat!
Re: Exclusive: Meet The Three Brothers Making Their Dream 'Secret Of Mana'-Inspired RPG
@Zaruboggan I'd agree with you on A, but I thought Tales of Arise was excellent.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Bravely Default
Both nice boxarts.
Unfortunately I genuinely disliked Bravely Default, and neither of the sequels have convinced me to give the series another shot.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages To Be Announced This June, According To New 'Exclusive'
Surprised by the comments here, Eternals mobility and speed were excellent, and I loved it. After playing it 2016 just feels too slow.
Looking forward to what comes next.

Godspeed Magnificent Seven.
Re: Review: Cavern Of Dreams (Switch) - A Rich, Rare Homage To The N64's Finest 'Formers
@quinnyboy58 In all fairness, Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal are both excellent. Maybe not as revered as SM64 or Banjo, but great games in their own right.
Re: Video: We've Played Tales Of Kenzera: ZAU - Here's 12 Minutes Of Switch Gameplay
I had to read up on what Sweet Baby Inc is because of the comments. So people are boycotting them because they're "woke" ? Ridiculous.
Re: Review: PowerA Wireless Lumectra Switch Controller - Dazzling, Though Missing Some Key Features
Hmmmm. I need to replace a Pro Controller that's starting to have connection issues but I'm not sure if this is it, though it does look nice.
Re: Discover Who You Truly Are In Upcoming Adventure Game 'Refind Self'
