Pikman

@ianl579 mine did too and you know what? I had such a good time that I really don’t mind
(Rare for me!)

Maybe I need to play this more, it’s crazy dull so far.
Not like the immediacy of Bayonetta

Maybe it’s actually Nintendo themselves, sneaky way to sell a game at £100+ without much effort!

(I’ll be keeping my single copy)

I haven’t picked this up for a year or two :/
Start again or try to continue?!

Ha, that's funny. Maybe I need to put more time into it. It's not like Star Fox, which is what I sort of hoped.
If you were local (Germany) you could borrow my copy

@Ulysses don’t do it, it’s terrible
I paid £10 and regret even that

I was so excited for a moment! Thought it might be a SMB 1&2 pack, but no

Meh, I want to be able to refund a ***** game. Happens rarely but I’ve paid good money for some waste of memory and that isn’t OK.

I love the Pikmin games, really happy to see them continue but also starting to regret owning a WiiU. I should have just skipped a generation
Still, it’s Pikmin and although it’s sitting on my shelf already I’ll likely pick it up as I just can’t help myself.

@JackTako I dunno... I loved Banjo, but I was also 18 at the time.
Yooka Laylee was OK, no sparkle, weird controls, I didn’t stick for more than a few worlds. Far better games to spend time with IMO

OMFG, me first playing F-Zero GX was SEVENTEEN years ago?!

Just started Fire Emblem 3 Houses

Better than Into The Breach?
I’ll have to get back to you on that one

Overly excited about this, will you be reviewing it?
Hopefully it’s as good as the old Tycoon games

@H3X3NH4MM3R Moonlighter is amazing
I can’t stop!

Golf Story was fantastic but let’s be honest, we just need a proper Mario Golf next

I did around 25 hours and I’m done, won’t be buying one again. Was OK, nothing super special.

@Old_Man_Nintendo You and me both

YYYEEEEESSSSS!

Looks like we would all just jump off things accidentally... I’d wager it’s a 6 or 7...

No chance, sounds awesome but I want to relax playing games :S
Shame as I never tried Alien either!

Having never played a deck building game but wanting to, is this a smart place to start?

Tempted but never played it, put off with the long cut scenes. Maybe worth it if they are as good as you all say

Mainly, I’d like an in-game N64 so I can play Pilotwings and Wave Race

I still can’t decide! I played one a long time ago and found it a bit boring. I also adored Stardew Valley!
Maybe they are that different?

I guess this is the year I go through my Switch backlog...

Just started my first ever play through
I’ve played the 2nd and 3rd but missed this one somehow

@theiRiS That’s all I thought it was too. We need how much to sort the climate crisis?!
It’s a mad world, we’ve lost the plot

It’s insane how it makes money, it’s free to play right?
What do people pay for?

I feel kind of jealous. I so want to love these games but I just don’t get it, feel like I’m missing out on Nintendo goodness :/

Only really looking forward to Prime 4 from this and is assume it’s still unlikely....
The previous years have been fantastic though, I’m sure more will appear.

Huh? Surely just don’t buy it?

I was super excited before and based on reviews probably won’t bother now - I would guess a lack of sales will send a message anyway

Works for me. Can just pick up the game and enjoy it
I never really got into collecting/knowing each Pokémon in detail, just excited for this.

Mine is the ‘old’ version and it’s totally great

@Friendly same as me, was crap huh?!
Disappointed

Surely the fix is not to buy the handheld version?
This is a weird article

I was going to say I never had an issue but our first N64 needed a new power supply on its first day.
Otherwise, never an issue (unlike Sony and Microsoft), which have never lasted so long and always had problems.
All my old Nintendo stuff still works perfectly

I’ll be playing more Horizon Chase Turbo, it’s got that ‘just one more go’ trick down to a tee. I can’t stop, love it!

@JoeDiddley well worth it, Into The Breach is amazing. It seems infinitely playable

Honestly, the differences are so tiny that when playing, I simply wouldn't notice
(Yes, it's possible that I am just getting old...)

Forgot Valkyria Chronicles was so soon, YAY!

Wanted to play this for ages, sign me up!

I have both on Wii unopened, I guess I ought to just fire those up really...

Weird. I started this yesterday! Not a massive fan of Yoshi games but this one is really beautiful and just the right level of challenge/exploration
Love it!

@shani Well worth it, plus there are some other fantastic PS4 games. Saying that though, I have only used it for this one game since I got a Switch
It's more complicated because each weapon has multiple projectiles, each needing different components to build and each effective against certain parts of certain creatures - which you need to scan to figure out.
It does not seem clear to me which weapon is better than another, other than how much it costs and how many mod slots it has.

Some of the machines are HUGE and FAAAST, it definitely gets me a bit panicked sometimes, fun times

And no, you can walk at a wall and jump at it all you like but no climbing unless it is a wall you are meant to climb. I'm sure this will change after BOTW showed how is was possible and the amazing freedom this granted.

@shani

I am quite a few hours in now with some decent upgrades. Totally enjoying it, just wish I could climb up steep walls rather than having to find the ‘special’ ones.
It’s a great game, certainly allows many different play styles. I do wish I could see it in 4K as it’s totally stunning too!
I did quite enjoy the weapons system in BOTW. HZD is back to standard, few possible weapons and upgrades - to me it ends up being too complicated for no reason.

Recommend you try it out

Horizon Zero Dawn for me. Put off starting it for ages and the Switch just prolonged it’s wait
Feels quite limiting after playing BOTW but it’s fun so far!
