Really enjoyed this on the 3DS, looked great and was a lot of of fun. Probably grab it on Switch as my hands have been beaten by arthritis, so 3DS isn't an option any longer.
Be putting in a good chunk of time into Dragon Ball FighterZ (grabbed it before sale ended). I had Xenoverse 2 put couldn't get into it, plus the nightmarish camera wasn't helpful.
I reinstalled Lego DC Super Villains (had it crash 3 times in an hour or so, seems better so far), so I'm giving that a go thanks to the sale. I'm also jumping between Retro City Rampage DX and Shakedown Hawaii to see which I like better.
And of course, the daily ritualistic sacrifice to Tom Nook.
Today will be Animal Crossing New Horizons for the most part, then some Hypercharge: Unboxed with the wife. Tomorrow will be Leisure Suit Larry- Wet Dreams Don't Dry, and Skullgirls 2nd Encore.
Just got Hypercharge: Unboxed the other day and I've been enjoying it immensely. Have yet to save all 3 cores, but I'm doing pretty good. It's always the green core I lose.
Jumping between Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry and some. Super Mario Odyssey. Trying to find the last 5 purple coins in the Metro Kingdom. They're proving to be elusive buggers.
Just beat Ganon in Breath of the Wild last night, so I'll be taking a break from that before doing dlc. Got Achievement Hunter's 12 hour stream today, so not sure what I'll be playing. Probably get some CTR or Smash Bros Ultimate in though.
Breath of the Wild. Wrapping up the last shrines I need (I'm at 83, so got a good chunk left), then cooking a bunch of food so I can go after Ganon tomorrow.
It's been a mix of Black Flag (got The Rebel Collection for birthday), and Screencheat with the wife. Grabbing another game or two today, but not sure what yet. Have to see what game store has in stock.
Took advantage of that shexy 50% off sale for Team Sonic Racing. Had the game before, physical copy, but had to sell it. Really liked it but didn't think it was worth a 55 dollar price tag, so this sale was nice.
I didn't mind SR4, so I'd probably grab it if it's on cartridge. If it doesn't actually come to Switch, I'm not gonna be too disappointed although I hope it does because that could increase probability of SR5 coming to Switch. Looking forward to Deep Silver's news this year.
I'm playing Let's Go Eevee, just doing some shiny hunting before going against Koga. Caught 2 so far while trying for different Pokemon; one is a shiny Nidoran female while trying for the male, and the other was a Rattata while trying for a Vulpix.
@SmaMan I like the way you think. Would absolutely love a new Colosseum or Pinball game for Switch. Pokemon Colosseum and Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness are two of my favourite GameCube games, a definite Day One buy if they came back as either remakes or a brand new one.
Pinball would be greatly appreciated. My arthritis prevents me from playing my old Gameboy Color, so I've been missing out for quite awhile now.
@Yosher Think my cut-off would be Gen 4. Platinum remains as one of my all time favourite games, and I couldn't get into Black/White. They seemed almost too easy and like a step back to me.
@Yosher Pricing is definitely a bit steep for some of what should've been included originally. I'm gonna stick with Let's GO Eevee and the upcoming Mystery Dungeon remake for my Pokemon cravings.
@NintendoByNature Oh it's quite different from Sword/Shield. In the Mystery Dungeons games, you are the Pokemon. You assemble teams and explore dungeons. They're quite fun turn-based games actually.
Picking up Let's GO Eevee, and Lego DC Super Villains today so ill be hanging out around Gotham with the wife. We normally don't do too well with co-op in Lego games, but gonna give this one a whirl. Our last attempt was with Lego Star Wars: The Original Trilogy back on GameCube.
@MajorBritten Yeah I'm a bit skeptical as well. The nose and mouth look different sizes/shapes, even with the weird grimace or smile Mr. Stained Shirt is making.
@Heavyarms55 I have yet to pick up Stardew Valley though I have wanted to for quite awhile now. Harvest Moon took an ugly turn for the worst and don't think there's much chance in reviving it.
Animal Crossing and The Outer Worlds are my most anticipated Games for 2020. I'm also hoping we get some news on the XIII remake/remaster and it gets a 2020 release.
I think this holiday season is when I finally get my hands on Stardew Valley. Slept on this one for quite awhile now and I might as well push my current backlog further into the abyss.
@gaga64 In the beginning half it doesn't feel very distinct, but I feel it comes into its own in the later half when everywhere is open to you. I felt like I was a trainer and really connected with my character in the northern parts of the region, being out in the wildness training my team.
They're all definitely formulaic, and I've done the same where I'll be playing 2-3 different Pokemon games at once in the past. It does get hard remembering what you did in which game because they're so similar, although the journal thing in DPPt is a nice little recap that helps to a degree.
I've been playing Pokemon for 20 years now and I'm still having to look at the type advantages/disadvantages too. Majority of them I can remember, but then they went and messed everything up with the addition of Fairy and changing the type of some of the little buggers. Pokeathlon was neat to a degree, but the beauty contests I can't be bothered with.

@Yosher I actually just checked the eShop and got it downloading. When they said later today, I figured I'd jump into Let's GO Eevee and check later.
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Yosher Eagerly waiting for that demo
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Krisi Maybe this is their way of gaging people's interest. If it sells beyond their expectations, maybe that'll pave the way for new entries.
Hopefully.
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
@Conductor The Sword/Shield expansions were apparently adding 200+ Pokemon. @Late was talking about the Red/Blue Rescue Team remakes.
Re: The Original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Games Are Being Remade For Switch
I would've preferred a new Pokemon Ranger game, but I'm cool with Mystery Dungeon. Really digging the art style.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 14th)
@gaga64 Excellent choice on Pokemon game. Sinnoh is one of the best regions, in my opinion, and is my personal favourite.
