Rabbids will be the next addition to Smash. But they’ll be the annoying rabbids, not the fun ones from Mario + Rabbids.

To be fair, they did say it was “general system stability” being added, not “full system stability”.

Up next, a $10 app that tells you how much battery you have left on the switch! Just open the app and it’ll show the remaining charge in large font. It even has alerts for when your battery gets low!

IAP (additional $10): you get to select the percentage remaining to get a notification!

Skyrim has crabs. Next week you could do an article on how the new switch pro will render them in 4k! 😅 I’ll crab walk myself out

Wait, is “busted” a good thing now?

Wow. I had completely forgotten about this film. I may have to watch it again, if I can find it.

Edit: never mind. Just realized the link in the article was for the movie and not just the extended scenes.

@pixelpatch only played impossible layer, but it was a whole lot of fun

Edit: especially worth it at this price

I enjoyed the first half of the demo (getting into things). It turned grindy really fast for me. Sail here, pick up this. Sail there, drop it off. Come back to base. I know that’s the gameplay loop for a lot of games, but the only thing that happens in between those parts here is that you may come across another ship to fight or treasure sitting in the wide open. I was really hopeful for this game, too.

Next, there’ll be a $10 Combine app that allows you to create custom sounds with the xylophone for the alarm and, when it’s tripped, force you to solve a math problem on the screen using the calculator before continuing the game you’re playing.

In no particular order

• Janes Longbow 2
• MS Flight Sim
• BoTW
• Age of Empires II
• grim Fandango
• although Mario odyssey (along with BOTW) did get me back into gaming after a 15 year hiatus)

Notable mentions:

• Immortals Fenyx Rising
• Skyrim (still working on, haven’t finished yet)
• Homeworld
• The Room games
• Myst (once I figured out how the heck to play it)
• Masters of Orion

Hmm, can’t tell if I’ll like this or not. Some of the gameplay in the video seems to be moving in slow motion. Then again it seems like a game of BOTW Rivali boss fights (which could be a good thing).

First time seeing this. Initial impression is that it reminds me of Hyperburner on iPhone from a couple years ago (which I put a lot of time into).

The appeal of this has to be its sheer unexpectedness. On par with walking out of Resurrection in BoTW. The HD rumble makes the button clicks feel like the real thing! I pulled out my 10-key just to see is I could tell the difference. Nope! (Except the lack of paper)

Interesting. I was really considering king of seas (still only in the demo about 15 minutes, but enjoying so far). Might have to consider this instead.

@scottishwildcat it sounds like you may be surprised to find how professional a lot of mods are. I’ve been downloading them since MS flight simulator 95 (individual planes were available back then, good ones were a couple bucks a piece!). There is some ridiculous talent out there coming from people that just enjoy this stuff for fun.

I read that headline as being a new expansion pack was coming. 😣

Very happy to see they’re providing a demo. I really like a lot of the Team17 stuff and this seems interesting. I don’t think I would have really considered purchasing until it had a really good sale (which I still might do), but this at least gives me the opportunity to see if it’s a day one (or soon thereafter).

@BowtieShyGuy Cremini-tly, called out again! sorry for pushing your Button 😉 🍄

Seems like a pretty fungi!

Relicta looks interesting! I like these articles that show what’s out there.

I wouldn’t consider myself a cheese whiz-ard, but I think it can be fun to figure out tricks in solo play (especially any time a particularly difficult level has you feeling bleu).

Edit: I enjoyed cheesing in Fenyx rising quite a bit. And that is one of my favorite subtitles ever

I thought this was a great game and well done on switch (no other platform to Play on). Very excited for a sequel down the road (but I hope they take their time to do it right).

@Desrever yikes. Sorry toe hear that. I hope you heel quickly.

Evergate, Um, the indie game? Is that enough text?

@Kiz3000 where did you see 30% off the season pass?

It was a nice exclusive, but there were plenty of deeper questions left alone, such as when is he making a move on peach? Will he be able to get through the next Odyssey alone (I’m not sure if his high jump will be enough)? And can he finally shave off that mustache, I feel like that was something Mario was forcing down.

How many people are purposely finding ways to sit through a loading screen just to get a good one?

What if this was just the display copy and there’s no game or pamphlet inside? (Did these even come with books, can’t remember at all)

Let me guess, she falls in love with the silent type, gets sent on a crazy impossible suicide mission (by some damn princess) to save the world, fails but comes back as a ghost only to find out that the same princess is now the only person who shows up in the love of her life’s dreams and constantly is begging to be saved and theirs nothing the protagonist can do about it at this point because she can’t control the laser-shooting elephant any more.

Does “power up” refer to galaxy 2 being dropped on 4/1? /s

Maybe everyone just forgot the /s? It’s not impossible since a lot of them seem to be coming from the same source. Boy are they going to be embarrassed (and tired) when they realize they have to go back and edit all those posts.

@Doofenshmirtz I hope it’s not mad cow 😬

@Doofenshmirtz ok, fair enough. I had to farm some of them from online, others I made up late at night (“pasture bedtime!”, as my wife would say). Manure quick to respond to this. I hope there’s not too much beef between us going forward.

How many can there be? However many more people decide to churn out! Butter not get too excited, tho. They may moooove on soon.

Stadium Events with Ring Fit utilized instead of the Power Pad. Get rid of... Kirby (like @Pineapple_Mohawk said, too). Never played one of those, so I personally wouldn’t miss it (although a lot of people would)

That was very funny. I wish I could say I was sorry you had to go through playing that game to bring a smile to my face this morning, but I won’t.

@NEStalgia splendid! Bravo!

@RandomNerds I’m udderly convinced I need this.

@Grandiajet I’m with you. My wife loves this game, so we play it (thankfully 3D world has taken over recently). But what you mentioned and random fires starting are more frustrating than fun to me. I do think some of the levels are enjoyable, but I’d prefer if it was a timed game with some movement/puzzle mechanics, not the other random stuff. I believe I’m in a very tiny minority for this view, tho.

I want to know what happens if you lean on it too hard. Does the head pop off? Does it grow longer?

Edit: this could also be glow worm’s evil twin

Why 90 days pay, etc., for only the US employees? What about the rest of them? Were they just told “enjoy our next couple of games, have a nice life”?

I will be doing this to my wife on purpose now, thank you. It happened by accident before, but never caught what caused it.

I just hope they keep all these “unannounced” releases for their fiscal year spread out so we don’t just get a lot at once.

Digital Foundry has a good video comparing the game between PS5 and Switch. It’s not a good video because of the comparison (I don’t have a PS5) but to see how it performs (with lots of examples and details) both docked and handheld. If you’re considering getting the game and have more questions about performance on switch, check it out! TLDR seems to be it runs well for what it is with downgrades (pretty steady 30fps, too).

I could get behind this. Used to love the NES and arcade games (even tho I was terrible at them).

Looks great, gameplay wise there seems to be a lot of just walking? Maybe that’s just as you get started

Oh wow. That was funny. And sad.

Kind of reminds me of an arcade game

I feel like Bloomberg is more reliable than a lot of previous articles that have come out in the past, so hopefully there is something there. I don’t care about the screen size on the unit itself, or the 4k necessarily (although I’ll definitely take it). Give me faster loading screens and ability to perform better (min 30fps at all times).

It seems they are not just missing same-sex marriages, but a number of features that could have been added (as listed throughout the comments and the Polygon interview). Edit: and the article
