Finally a review! This is a great game, it’s brutal but so satisfyingly addicting. It’s perfect for being played in short bursts but there’s quite a meaty game to master within the gameplay mechanics. If it sounds remotely up your tree, do not hesitate. It’s an easy recommendation and one of my favs of 2024.
I’m still enjoying playing through Prince of Persia:The Lost Crown, it’s providing a nice challenge. Still in my GOTY contention.
KILL KNIGHT This game! Feels like I’m still the only one playing this absolute gem. Once the mechanics “click” with you it is hard to stop. It’s really turning into a sublime twin stick experience. It’s brutal but so much fun chasing scores and mastering the gameplay each run. Didn’t see it coming but it’s a GOTY contender.
On Xbox Series X I’m thinking of getting back to Dying Light 2, October is fitting for a game like this.

Awesome news, not sure if they tie it in with Romulus or just extend that cliffhanger ending of Alien Isolation? Either way let’s hope they take their time and create something special and not just some shoddy money grab sequel
@RaptorRed KILL KNIGHT indeed. There’s no one playing this awesome game but us it seems. Great twin stick shooter, with deep gameplay elements and an addictive gameplay loop. This game is absolutely being slept on
@Antraxx777 I do believe Ubisoft does hold Nintendo in the highest regard if Nintendo were to make a bid they might have the advantage just out of sheer respect. Not a typical Nintendo move to spend $ on developer acquisitions but there are some great assets at Ubisoft to be had. Ubisoft as a 2nd party partner would be interesting, lots of Rabbids exclusives but they’d cook up some new stuff together. I think Big N could do a franchise such as Beyond Good and Evil some good. Splinter Cell, Assasins Creed etc..on Nintendo consoles are welcome!
Playing: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Such a great game, I’m only about 35% thru but it’s definitely a banger!
KILL KNIGHT!!! I must be the only one playing this gem. If you like Twin Stick Shooters, u owe it to yourself to play this game. It’s brutal, challenging but really fun and addicting , it’s not even on the weekend poll it’s that slept on, it runs great on Switch too!
On Series X: Now that I’m done with Dead Space Remake time to get back to RDR2 and October seems like a good time to start Elden Ring or Dying Light 2 up again.

@OorWullie KILL KNIGHT might just be up your alley! Stardew Valley I’ve had it for years, still haven’t played it. The legs on this game are insane the way ppl continue to talk about the experience , at some point I will have to give this game a proper chance!
Nintendo should consider making an offer; they’ve worked well in the past together and Ubisoft typically always supports Nintendo consoles, not likely but would be a bit of a coup to sweep in while they’re undervalued.
I’d always held a mild curiosity about those games. Totally not something I’d typically play but the concept , somehow seems engaging. Not sure I’ll ever give it a try but by your admission this is some digital crack. Always nice when you can discover new genres in gaming!
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown does come with the highest of recommendations. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with this game. It’s a shame the Ubisoft brand has fallen on such hard times. This game deserves support, I was happy to get a physical copy on the cheap. It’s an easy GOTY contender. I completely forgot the DLC just launched…haven’t even finished the game but I know I’ll buy the DLC as well!
I did copp Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom but I won’t be playing it right away.
Rolled credits on Dead Space Remake (XSX) and Ori and The Will of the Wisps the other week.
Playing Prince of Persia:The Lost Crown and it has been excellent so far. Dope Metroidvania that stands on its own.
Still playing thru runs of The Stanley Parable…still have no idea what’s really going on 😂
@OorWullie Alien Isolation is an awesome game. That tense atmosphere and experience…don’t know if I’ve ever crouched so much in a game 😂 . Those Working Joe’s need to be patched ASAP!

Still have my Wii U copy! It’s a unique game with potential for a sequel or spin off. I guess it bodes well for the franchise future if PlatinumGames is still pursuing trademark rights, could be a nice potential Switch Deux release!

I just rolled the credits on Ori and the Will of the Wisps ! An amazing game, great series! If only Xbox could find a way to return to relevancy again! 😝
Thinking of starting Prince of Persia next, we’ll see what the backlog beckons. Will also mess around with some Splatoon 3 …Go Team Past!! Cuz I’m a sucker for nostalgia
On Series X I ran into a game ending bug in Dead Space remake so I had to start an earlier save. Frustrating times in the 1st World!
Will continue playing thru Mafia and COD MW3 and at some point I should give Elden Ring a legit go.

Switch Ori and the Will of the Wisps-Such a dope game! Nier Automata The Stanley Parable The game that plays you! Splatoon 3 BIG RUN!!! Already more than halfway to that 700m target!
On Xbox Series X Dead Space Remake I’ve finally maxed out my suit and weapons. I’m mowing down Necromorphs and loving it! This reminds me I also need to mow my lawn! 😝
Mafia 1st time playing the series and it’s great so far.
Call of Duty It’s been years since I played but have to admit it’s still a fun series. Will be pretty sweet on Switch Deux 😉
It Take Two Wifey really adores the game and the kids enjoy watching our relationship transfer into a video game. Gem of a game!
Recent Purchase$ Ace Combat 7 I bit after the sale, have yet to play it though.
Pizza Tower The animations are incredible, it’s a very fluid and frantic game. Haven’t fully grasped the gameplay but can def see the potential here
Strains on deck 🥴 Donegal (been a long time!), Jealousy, LA Kush Cake and Death Bubba 💀 !!
Quick side note… I do find it funny with the launch of Astro Bot on PS5…the irony of them embracing a more colourful , whimsical and cutesey artstyle…a “kiddie game” as their mascot! All the while Nintendo used to get panned and written off for its creative and colourful “kiddie game” approach. 😂
@AmplifyMJ
I remember Nintendo projecting a 10 year Switch lifespan and thinking they were being way too overly optimistic about the Switch. Here we are heading into year 8…not only still eating good but still serving us a new Zelda title…only 1 year removed from TOTK!..with room still for a full course of MP4 next year and everything in between. All appetizers for Switch Deux of course!
Had to give the Wii U some love, my Gamepad is still in excellent condition so I’ve been revisiting the catalog. It’s an underrated system, somehow I had copies of Mass Effect 3 and Metroid Prime 3 unwrapped in their original copies. I might just have to replay the Metroid Prime Trilogy …still can’t believe they had it on sale for $9 at one time!
On Switch I’ve been having fun with Ori and the Will of the Wisps it’s a superb game. I’ve been loving playing Untitled Goose Game with my daughter, and I’ve recently started the The Stanley Parable Ultra Edition..yeah that game that is….special 😳. Travis Strikes Again-No More Heroes has finally been started and I’m really enjoying it. I always wonder what mix of drugs Suda takes to come up with these games 🤔 I’ll check out the Blockbuster Sale on the Eshop as well
3DS even got dusted off ..I started Ace Attorney Trilogy for the very 1st time, it’s great! I’m thinking about also trying Fire Emblem for the 1st time
On XSX …been playing It Takes Two with wifey…such a great game! It really is a couples therapy session 😂. Dead Space Remake and * Mafia* are in rotation as well.
Strains on deck…have some really nice LA Kush Cake, Critical Diesel, Stinky Pinky 😝 and to close out summer and this Labour Day long weekend some classic Pineapple Express 🍍 🫠
Sad to hear about Johnny Gaudreau passing away! Don’t wait for bad news, a funeral or pressing times to hug your loved ones a lil’ tighter….just do it everyday!!!
Exact same experience for me. I gave it an honest try for a solid 5hrs and found the game to be boring, monochromatic and ultimately not for me. I gave it another proper go and it’s now one of my all time favs. It might not be for u in the end but I was one who went from hating the game to absolutely loving it. It is a masterpiece.
It’s one of those gem games I’ve come across that seems to have that common hook…if you just push thru a bit at the beginning the experience will continually reward u. I wear the “Path Of Pain” like a badge of gaming honour!
Clearly not the Direct ppl are awaiting however the fact Nintendo has their own museum is a statement in itself! While studios are being shuttered and major Devs are laying off employees almost weekly…here comes Nintendo opening their own museum to celebrate its illustrious gaming history! Now if anything , we know this will be a museum like no other. Nintendo has an opportunity to redefine the museum experience, that alone is worth tuning in for me.
It would be pretty cool if they do a Switch 2 reveal from within the museum next year!…a shadow drop for an interactive tour of the museum would be a savvy move Nintendo. “Nintendo Museum app is available today!”
Switch: I’ve been playing Untitled Goose Game with the kids and we’ve been having a good time with it. I’ll continue my play through of Nier:Automata..I’ve only recently unlocked ending A. My backlog is still undefeated and growing, I’m pretty amazed at the number of games I’ve purchased for the Switch, it’s been a good run!
Xbox Series X: I’ve been taking advantage of Gamepass and have been playing more on this system. I did recently purchase a memory expansion so no more juggling games for space. Still playing through Dead Space Remake , I can’t believe it but I’m back to playing COD with MW3 recently released, I’m having a good time with it.
@Lightsiyd
I recently purchased Astral Ascent but have yet to give it a go! Glad to hear such a glowing review! Hades is an all time classic so putting it up there is a big compliment to the game. I’m looking forward to trying it out now. I was a bit skeptical soon as I hit purchase 😆
Strains on deck: MAC and some classic Blue Dream, Comatose and Death Bubba 😮💨🥴
I’ve been playing Nier:Automata on Switch it’s been quite the game so far. Some questionable design choices but a great game overall. Humans and AI do not evolve well!
Topdee and Toodee is another game I finally started. It’s an absolute gem. If you like puzzle games it’s a must own!
Started playing * Ace Attorney Trilogy* on 3DS. My 1st time trying the series after all these years. That 1st case was pretty intense! Have a nice backlog on 3DS and Wii U to get thru.
I just grabbed Zombie Army 4, Outer Wilds…physical copies of Prince of Persia and Cereza and the Lost Demon among a handful of others all on heavy discount. I’m good until 2025 and beyond.
I’m really hoping this Emio is an all out Nintendo style mature title but it will probably end up being something like Paper bag Mario:The Dark Pages or something the rather. Where’s that user who used to say “Only Wun can hope!” …need that mojo 😂
@ Vyacheslav333 RUINER is a dope twin stick shooter. I’d hoped they do a sequel one day, not sure what became of the dev.
Strains on deck: Tropical Milkshake, Cuban Linx, Organic Death Bubba and Comatose 🤒🌿
Been enjoying this heat wave (thank you A/C) happy weekend and gaming everyone!
@Vivianeat @awp69 I recently purchased MEGATON MUSASHI W…haven’t even made it to the title screen yet, so it’s good hearing it’s already garnering some GOTY votes. Hope it’s good!
Rest in Pyoro!! Good riddance, leaker culture only excites the weak and desperate. These aren’t whistleblowers ….they’re clout chasing thieves. To each their own but to those who do enable and respect these leakers..the day someone leaks your personal and medical information or hacks your phone…you have to respect and praise the thief!
@KateGray Take advantage of those Party Events that require you to serve specific types of fish species. Hunt for that fish type for the 3-4 days leading up to the event. Don’t serve those dishes until the night of that Party Event, u can usually more than double your revenue during these events.
Hire staff asap and level them up as quickly as u can to unlock their additional skill, look for staff that serve drinks as this greatly alleviates stress during servings. Hire someone with a high Dispatch ability, this way u can send them on deliveries and they’ll return with the most amount of stock.
Hunt Sailfish and Tuna whenever u can , there’s a device u can unlock that allows you to retrieve fish intact from the water, use it on bigger fish with higher value to max your cut of meat per dive.
Oh and pick up everthing at 1st, you’ll need the resources for upgrades to weapons.
@120frames-please So do you still enjoy games that are sub 60 fps or is the difference too noticeable? Totally just curious! I’m assuming as a Nintendo gamer u make exceptions regarding frames 😝
Also nice call on Animal Collective was literally just listening to Gem & I yesterday 😆
@OorWullie Eschatos is great! I’ll have to upload my scores but I’m about the same as you where I can chain up to that 1st UFO… did make pretty far in the other day but realized it was only on Easy 😝. Rolling Gunner is a different beast altogether…plays close to a twin stick shooter, neat aspect of the game , u need miracles to dodge its bullet hell! There are a couple quality Shmups on sale right now might check em out.
@Axecon Completing Hollow Knight is an accomplishment for any gamer. My friend if you managed to survive the Path of Pain and defeat the true boss, Pat yourself on your thumbs 😝 for a job well done. I recently completed the game as well, I can’t wait for Silksong to release…during tomorrows Xbox showcase! Haha…or if they shadow drop it during the Nintendo Direct would be epic. Likely won’t release until 2036 tho
@Link41x Stampeders all day! Even though your Argos stole a Grey Cup from us a couple years back! 😠
@Vriess You cracked me up awhile back commenting on how some gamers can manage playing handfuls of games at a time…let alone find the time. It is boggling, I wish I had the time to game like that. I guess that’s one major boon about the Switch is it’s allowed gamers to enjoy their hobby more than ever before
After a bit of a hiatus from gaming I’ve finally dug into my Schmups backlog. I’ve been playing some Escatos and Rolling Gunner…both are intense and great games overall…Schmups just feel like one of the purest genres of gaming. Shout out to @Oorwullie for the recommendations
I did finish Dave the Diver but have yet to play any of the DLC. It’s a really good game with an addictive gameplay loop. Also just finished Obra Dinn, what an amazing game! I loved solving its mysteries and crew, very unique game. Might check out The Case of The Golden Idol as it’s on sale now
On the Xbox Series X I do plan on getting back into RDR2, Dead Space 2 and finally giving Eldin Ring a proper go!
Strains on deck…Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC), Gary Payton, Mocha OG and some Organic Comatose 💨 🥴
This was essentially my initial experience with Hollow Knight. I’d started a file was maybe 5hrs in, got distracted and when I tried to resume play I had no clue what to do or where I was! After starting a fresh save the game “clicked” with me…and I never looked back after. It’s now one of my all time favourite video games. It’s not for everyone but it’s still a must play game.
For those struggling to get into the game, I can’t implore you enough to take the time to invest in this game. It truly is a masterpiece.
These graphs are confirming we will never see any heavily discounted Nintendo hardware or software. Ever. 😂
On another note, with all these studios shuttering down during this gen, how is the industry not looking at the Nintendo model in complete awe? This is exactly why Nintendo is debt free right now.
I did recently manage to find 2 new 2DS’s in store, they were only $100 each so I’ll be selling one and setting the other up this weekend, and get some gaming in before they close down all online functionality this weekend.
On Switch , I’ve been enjoying playing Dave the Diver, on chapter 6 and it’s a much deeper game and varied game than I’d expected. I’ll continue the noble effort of clearing out my backlog. I’m really looking forward to Silksong as I’ve recently completed Hollow Knight which was superb. I’ve just started up Nier Automata as well.
On Xbox series X I’ll be getting back to Dead Space and RDR2. Might finally start Elden Ring as I hear it’s pretty decent and I’ve sitting on it for over a year still unwrapped!
It’s a birthday weekend for me! 🎂 🎉 Strains on deck Organic Comatose, Khali Kush and an insane batch of Red Congo 🥴
@Yosher I was in the exact same position you were a couple months ago. I tried and tried to enjoy Hollow Knight and it just never clicked with me. I came back to it after some time and it’s now become one of my all time favourite games. I can’t recommend the game enough, try giving it a proper chance, an absolute gem and masterpiece await you!
@johnedwin Ok so that fact would apply if you could drive your PlayStation! 😆 What does Toyota have to do with the video game industry ? Also I don’t know why you keep trying to pan efficiently run companies who stockpile cash as an asset. There’s nothing wrong with investing in liquidity. If Nintendo has to move fast they have the cash on deck to do it, no need to wait on the sell off of their assets, that is costly and time consuming. The Wii U was a retail and generational flop. Yet Nintendo is a still creditors dream with zero debt. Sony can tout the success of the Playstation all day, it’s a great system but as a corporation they haven’t really innovated much at all since the Walkman/discman days, they’ve been trying to catch lightning in a bottle since but have just been piling up debt with far more misses than hits.
Speaking of abject failures , even with Sony’s impressive PS2 sales, the company is still a whopping $31 Billion in debt. Meanwhile Nintendo has $0 debt. Sony’s financial position as a company is the real abject failure.
I recently purchased 2 brand new 2DS Super Mario Bros 2 Editions in store for $200. $100 each in 2024! 😀 I couldn’t believe it, they were just sitting there stocked behind the cashier on clearance. So they’re some still out there in retail believe it or not. I’m just as surprised as you regarding it beating out Dragons Dogma 2, it’s a very good game. Nintendo just runs Japan.
The debate of console exclusivity really is a pointless one. Nintendo sits atop an absolute trove of quality exclusives. For SONY and MS they aren’t even close when it comes to this department. Spider-Man for example isn’t even a SONY IP. Nintendo has done an excellent job of expanding its characters and universe into their own standalone offerings. Shoutout to Princess Peach for joining the club. In the end, Nintendo is the only true self sufficient publisher in the business, hardware and software exclusivity wise.
It’s rather remarkable how much the value, culture and content have evolved the Splatoon franchise. Splatoon is in some ways Nintendo’s equivalent to Fortnite. It’s a online multiplayer, it’s a virtual world with its own culture and characters…the community themed Splatfest events , tower defence, capture the flag, Deck building and turf covering modes etc..and now it’s further upped its offering with a roguelite/roguelike (I’ll leave that debate alone!) DLC! There really is nothing quite like it (Nice try Foamstars!). Splatoon 4 has the makings to be a very meaty package with even more new features and gameplay modes.
@Fizza
Amen! These leakers need to stop being held in such high regard as if there’s something noble about being clout chasing thieves. I get the hype and excitement but there are few surprises we get in life …and these leakers will make sure there are none! Since when was the person who always ruins the surprise party ever considered to be “Cool”?? I feel kinda sad for the ppl who follow them and hang on their every word and post…it’s just reeks of desperation and a lack of basic patience. Instant gratification is a disease in itself.
@LadyCharlie
If there’s something in it for them they’ll be leaking those books and movies for u 💯.
The thing is these aren’t just “advertisements”, they are reveals. These leakers like Pyoro are not only stealing information from the developers and creators but by announcing them before they’re intended to be public knowledge, robs these developers and creators the opportunity to even present their offerings on their own terms. Imagine being an artist only to have someone display your art before you were even prepared. It’s invasive. Sure it doesn’t hurt anybody but it does take away the element of the surprise. Who doesn’t love a “shadow drop”?? Oh yeah just about every leaker
That Sony Kool Aid must be something else! Sony is eternally in debt, over $31 Billion and counting! You’re talking about market share for a company that literally has no value. They didn’t even make this list as a Japanese company. That is major red flags of a poorly run business. These investments you’re touting Sony for are clearly not panning out for them. The only negative you can surmise of Nintendo being the richest, 100 % debt free as well as having the highest liquidity in all of Japan…is that they’re not spending their money ?
Staggering sales numbers, I’d be down for Mario Kart 9 with the inclusion of Wonder Seeds either as a power up or main game/separate mode feature. It would be neat if they introduced some themed online competitions similar to Splatfests. Hitting 60 million is prolific, congrats!
@OorWullie
These numbers are ridiculous, it’s a 10 year old game. MK8 Deluxe has sold appx the same amount as the combined lifetime sales of Spider-Man 1, God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn on the PS4. Combined. When it comes to exclusives, it’s not even close. Nintendo is by far and wide the #1 1st part developer
Nice! Picked it up on a recent sale but have yet to give it a proper go. It’s another surprisingly good Switch port so more content is only added value
In one aspect the fact they rotate their strains weekly is legit! …but tricky to obtain those go to strains I’m assuming. Some of the names on these strains tho 😂 ….then u try it and it all makes sense! $40 for a that much shake is value tho! I’m in Canada and the dispensaries here are more likely to carry some mainstays mixed with new strains weekly. It really depends which one you go to up here.
Nice recommendation btw with DUSK. That game always makes me feel a certain way 😆

Re: Nintendo To Go In 'Different Direction' To Current AI Trends, Says Miyamoto
This is actually quite an interesting statement. Having partnered with Nvidia since the Switch I’d imagine Nintendo has had the opportunity to explore AI and its possibilities.

Perhaps they build a game that evolves with the player, even the Bosses could adapt their behavior over time ..?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (7th September)
Switch
Ori and the Will of the Wisps-Such a dope game!
Nier Automata
The Stanley Parable The game that plays you!
Splatoon 3 BIG RUN!!! Already more than halfway to that 700m target!
On Xbox Series X
Dead Space Remake I’ve finally maxed out my suit and weapons. I’m mowing down Necromorphs and loving it! This reminds me I also need to mow my lawn! 😝
Mafia 1st time playing the series and it’s great so far.
Call of Duty It’s been years since I played but have to admit it’s still a fun series. Will be pretty sweet on Switch Deux 😉
It Take Two Wifey really adores the game and the kids enjoy watching our relationship transfer into a video game. Gem of a game!
Recent Purchase$
Ace Combat 7 I bit after the sale, have yet to play it though.
Pizza Tower The animations are incredible, it’s a very fluid and frantic game. Haven’t fully grasped the gameplay but can def see the potential here
Strains on deck 🥴
Donegal (been a long time!), Jealousy, LA Kush Cake and Death Bubba 💀 !!
Quick side note…
I do find it funny with the launch of Astro Bot on PS5…the irony of them embracing a more colourful , whimsical and cutesey artstyle…a “kiddie game” as their mascot! All the while Nintendo used to get panned and written off for its creative and colourful “kiddie game” approach. 😂
Have a great weekend!
Re: Video: 16 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In September 2024
@AmplifyMJ
I remember Nintendo projecting a 10 year Switch lifespan and thinking they were being way too overly optimistic about the Switch. Here we are heading into year 8…not only still eating good but still serving us a new Zelda title…only 1 year removed from TOTK!..with room still for a full course of MP4 next year and everything in between. All appetizers for Switch Deux of course!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st August)
Had to give the Wii U some love, my Gamepad is still in excellent condition so I’ve been revisiting the catalog. It’s an underrated system, somehow I had copies of Mass Effect 3 and Metroid Prime 3 unwrapped in their original copies. I might just have to replay the Metroid Prime Trilogy …still can’t believe they had it on sale for $9 at one time!
On Switch I’ve been having fun with Ori and the Will of the Wisps it’s a superb game. I’ve been loving playing Untitled Goose Game with my daughter, and I’ve recently started the The Stanley Parable Ultra Edition..yeah that game that is….special 😳. Travis Strikes Again-No More Heroes has finally been started and I’m really enjoying it. I always wonder what mix of drugs Suda takes to come up with these games 🤔 I’ll check out the Blockbuster Sale on the Eshop as well
3DS even got dusted off ..I started Ace Attorney Trilogy for the very 1st time, it’s great! I’m thinking about also trying Fire Emblem for the 1st time
On XSX …been playing It Takes Two with wifey…such a great game! It really is a couples therapy session 😂. Dead Space Remake and * Mafia* are in rotation as well.
Strains on deck…have some really nice LA Kush Cake, Critical Diesel, Stinky Pinky 😝 and to close out summer and this Labour Day long weekend some classic Pineapple Express 🍍 🫠
Sad to hear about Johnny Gaudreau passing away! Don’t wait for bad news, a funeral or pressing times to hug your loved ones a lil’ tighter….just do it everyday!!!
Wish you all happy a weekend!
Happy Gaming!!!
Re: No, Hollow Knight: Silksong Won't Be At Gamescom Opening Night Live
@Arkay @Lightsiyd @ManaOwls @Snatcher
Exact same experience for me. I gave it an honest try for a solid 5hrs and found the game to be boring, monochromatic and ultimately not for me. I gave it another proper go and it’s now one of my all time favs. It might not be for u in the end but I was one who went from hating the game to absolutely loving it. It is a masterpiece.
It’s one of those gem games I’ve come across that seems to have that common hook…if you just push thru a bit at the beginning the experience will continually reward u. I wear the “Path Of Pain” like a badge of gaming honour!
Re: Nintendo Announces 'Nintendo Museum Direct'
Clearly not the Direct ppl are awaiting however the fact Nintendo has their own museum is a statement in itself! While studios are being shuttered and major Devs are laying off employees almost weekly…here comes Nintendo opening their own museum to celebrate its illustrious gaming history! Now if anything , we know this will be a museum like no other. Nintendo has an opportunity to redefine the museum experience, that alone is worth tuning in for me.
It would be pretty cool if they do a Switch 2 reveal from within the museum next year!…a shadow drop for an interactive tour of the museum would be a savvy move Nintendo. “Nintendo Museum app is available today!”
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd August)
Switch: I’ve been playing Untitled Goose Game with the kids and we’ve been having a good time with it. I’ll continue my play through of Nier:Automata..I’ve only recently unlocked ending A. My backlog is still undefeated and growing, I’m pretty amazed at the number of games I’ve purchased for the Switch, it’s been a good run!
Xbox Series X: I’ve been taking advantage of Gamepass and have been playing more on this system. I did recently purchase a memory expansion so no more juggling games for space. Still playing through Dead Space Remake , I can’t believe it but I’m back to playing COD with MW3 recently released, I’m having a good time with it.
@Lightsiyd
I recently purchased Astral Ascent but have yet to give it a go! Glad to hear such a glowing review! Hades is an all time classic so putting it up there is a big compliment to the game. I’m looking forward to trying it out now. I was a bit skeptical soon as I hit purchase 😆
Strains on deck: MAC and some classic Blue Dream, Comatose and Death Bubba 😮💨🥴
Have a great weekend! Happy gaming!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th July)
I’ve been playing Nier:Automata on Switch it’s been quite the game so far. Some questionable design choices but a great game overall. Humans and AI do not evolve well!
Topdee and Toodee is another game I finally started. It’s an absolute gem. If you like puzzle games it’s a must own!
Started playing * Ace Attorney Trilogy* on 3DS. My 1st time trying the series after all these years. That 1st case was pretty intense! Have a nice backlog on 3DS and Wii U to get thru.
I just grabbed Zombie Army 4, Outer Wilds…physical copies of Prince of Persia and Cereza and the Lost Demon among a handful of others all on heavy discount. I’m good until 2025 and beyond.
I’m really hoping this Emio is an all out Nintendo style mature title but it will probably end up being something like Paper bag Mario:The Dark Pages or something the rather. Where’s that user who used to say “Only Wun can hope!” …need that mojo 😂
@ Vyacheslav333
RUINER is a dope twin stick shooter. I’d hoped they do a sequel one day, not sure what became of the dev.
Strains on deck: Tropical Milkshake, Cuban Linx, Organic Death Bubba and Comatose 🤒🌿
Been enjoying this heat wave (thank you A/C) happy weekend and gaming everyone!
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Game Of The Year Of 2024 So Far?
@Vivianeat @awp69
I recently purchased MEGATON MUSASHI W…haven’t even made it to the title screen yet, so it’s good hearing it’s already garnering some GOTY votes. Hope it’s good!
Re: Nintendo Is Hard At Work To Prevent Future Leaks
Rest in Pyoro!! Good riddance, leaker culture only excites the weak and desperate. These aren’t whistleblowers ….they’re clout chasing thieves. To each their own but to those who do enable and respect these leakers..the day someone leaks your personal and medical information or hacks your phone…you have to respect and praise the thief!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th June)
@KateGray
Take advantage of those Party Events that require you to serve specific types of fish species. Hunt for that fish type for the 3-4 days leading up to the event. Don’t serve those dishes until the night of that Party Event, u can usually more than double your revenue during these events.
Hire staff asap and level them up as quickly as u can to unlock their additional skill, look for staff that serve drinks as this greatly alleviates stress during servings. Hire someone with a high Dispatch ability, this way u can send them on deliveries and they’ll return with the most amount of stock.
Hunt Sailfish and Tuna whenever u can , there’s a device u can unlock that allows you to retrieve fish intact from the water, use it on bigger fish with higher value to max your cut of meat per dive.
Oh and pick up everthing at 1st, you’ll need the resources for upgrades to weapons.
Great game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th June)
@120frames-please
So do you still enjoy games that are sub 60 fps or is the difference too noticeable? Totally just curious! I’m assuming as a Nintendo gamer u make exceptions regarding frames 😝
Also nice call on Animal Collective was literally just listening to Gem & I yesterday 😆
@OorWullie
Eschatos is great! I’ll have to upload my scores but I’m about the same as you where I can chain up to that 1st UFO… did make pretty far in the other day but realized it was only on Easy 😝. Rolling Gunner is a different beast altogether…plays close to a twin stick shooter, neat aspect of the game , u need miracles to dodge its bullet hell! There are a couple quality Shmups on sale right now might check em out.
@Axecon
Completing Hollow Knight is an accomplishment for any gamer. My friend if you managed to survive the Path of Pain and defeat the true boss, Pat yourself on your thumbs 😝 for a job well done. I recently completed the game as well, I can’t wait for Silksong to release…during tomorrows Xbox showcase! Haha…or if they shadow drop it during the Nintendo Direct would be epic. Likely won’t release until 2036 tho
@Link41x
Stampeders all day! Even though your Argos stole a Grey Cup from us a couple years back! 😠
@Vriess
You cracked me up awhile back commenting on how some gamers can manage playing handfuls of games at a time…let alone find the time. It is boggling, I wish I had the time to game like that. I guess that’s one major boon about the Switch is it’s allowed gamers to enjoy their hobby more than ever before
Cheers to you all!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th June)
After a bit of a hiatus from gaming I’ve finally dug into my Schmups backlog. I’ve been playing some Escatos and Rolling Gunner…both are intense and great games overall…Schmups just feel like one of the purest genres of gaming. Shout out to @Oorwullie for the recommendations
I did finish Dave the Diver but have yet to play any of the DLC. It’s a really good game with an addictive gameplay loop. Also just finished Obra Dinn, what an amazing game! I loved solving its mysteries and crew, very unique game. Might check out The Case of The Golden Idol as it’s on sale now
On the Xbox Series X I do plan on getting back into RDR2, Dead Space 2 and finally giving Eldin Ring a proper go!
Strains on deck…Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC), Gary Payton, Mocha OG and some Organic Comatose 💨 🥴
Happy gaming and happy weekend to all!
Re: Soapbox: After Restarting My Save File, I Finally 'Get' Hollow Knight
This was essentially my initial experience with Hollow Knight. I’d started a file was maybe 5hrs in, got distracted and when I tried to resume play I had no clue what to do or where I was! After starting a fresh save the game “clicked” with me…and I never looked back after. It’s now one of my all time favourite video games. It’s not for everyone but it’s still a must play game.
For those struggling to get into the game, I can’t implore you enough to take the time to invest in this game. It truly is a masterpiece.
Re: Free Godzilla DLC Storms Into 'Dave The Diver' Next Week On Switch
Nice timing indeed …I recently completed the game! Great game btw, I’ll definitely check out this DLC!!

Re: Nintendo's Profit During The Switch Generation Is Absolutely Wild
These graphs are confirming we will never see any heavily discounted Nintendo hardware or software. Ever. 😂
On another note, with all these studios shuttering down during this gen, how is the industry not looking at the Nintendo model in complete awe? This is exactly why Nintendo is debt free right now.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, April 17th 2024
Apparently the most powerful charm in Hollow Knight is the Patience charm 😝
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th April)
I did recently manage to find 2 new 2DS’s in store, they were only $100 each so I’ll be selling one and setting the other up this weekend, and get some gaming in before they close down all online functionality this weekend.
On Switch , I’ve been enjoying playing Dave the Diver, on chapter 6 and it’s a much deeper game and varied game than I’d expected. I’ll continue the noble effort of clearing out my backlog. I’m really looking forward to Silksong as I’ve recently completed Hollow Knight which was superb. I’ve just started up Nier Automata as well.
On Xbox series X I’ll be getting back to Dead Space and RDR2. Might finally start Elden Ring as I hear it’s pretty decent and I’ve sitting on it for over a year still unwrapped!
It’s a birthday weekend for me! 🎂 🎉 Strains on deck Organic Comatose, Khali Kush and an insane batch of Red Congo 🥴
Have a happy weekend everyone!!!
Re: Surprise! A New Listing For Hollow Knight: Silksong Has Appeared Online
@Yosher
I was in the exact same position you were a couple months ago. I tried and tried to enjoy Hollow Knight and it just never clicked with me. I came back to it after some time and it’s now become one of my all time favourite games. I can’t recommend the game enough, try giving it a proper chance, an absolute gem and masterpiece await you!
Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts
@johnedwin
Ok so that fact would apply if you could drive your PlayStation! 😆 What does Toyota have to do with the video game industry ? Also I don’t know why you keep trying to pan efficiently run companies who stockpile cash as an asset. There’s nothing wrong with investing in liquidity. If Nintendo has to move fast they have the cash on deck to do it, no need to wait on the sell off of their assets, that is costly and time consuming. The Wii U was a retail and generational flop. Yet Nintendo is a still creditors dream with zero debt. Sony can tout the success of the Playstation all day, it’s a great system but as a corporation they haven’t really innovated much at all since the Walkman/discman days, they’ve been trying to catch lightning in a bottle since but have just been piling up debt with far more misses than hits.
Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts
Speaking of abject failures , even with Sony’s impressive PS2 sales, the company is still a whopping $31 Billion in debt. Meanwhile Nintendo has $0 debt. Sony’s financial position as a company is the real abject failure.
Re: Japanese Charts: Princess Peach: Showtime Rules Over The Competition
@Ryu_Niiyama
I recently purchased 2 brand new 2DS Super Mario Bros 2 Editions in store for $200. $100 each in 2024! 😀 I couldn’t believe it, they were just sitting there stocked behind the cashier on clearance. So they’re some still out there in retail believe it or not. I’m just as surprised as you regarding it beating out Dragons Dogma 2, it’s a very good game. Nintendo just runs Japan.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Exclusives
The debate of console exclusivity really is a pointless one. Nintendo sits atop an absolute trove of quality exclusives. For SONY and MS they aren’t even close when it comes to this department. Spider-Man for example isn’t even a SONY IP. Nintendo has done an excellent job of expanding its characters and universe into their own standalone offerings. Shoutout to Princess Peach for joining the club. In the end, Nintendo is the only true self sufficient publisher in the business, hardware and software exclusivity wise.
Re: Review: Splatoon 3: Side Order - An Addictive Roguelite Just Shy Of Excellence
It’s rather remarkable how much the value, culture and content have evolved the Splatoon franchise. Splatoon is in some ways Nintendo’s equivalent to Fortnite. It’s a online multiplayer, it’s a virtual world with its own culture and characters…the community themed Splatfest events , tower defence, capture the flag, Deck building and turf covering modes etc..and now it’s further upped its offering with a roguelite/roguelike (I’ll leave that debate alone!) DLC! There really is nothing quite like it (Nice try Foamstars!). Splatoon 4 has the makings to be a very meaty package with even more new features and gameplay modes.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
@LadyCharlie
Oh such defiance you even had to put it in bold 😆!! Hey if idolizing leakers and leeches is your thing …do you!
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
@Fizza
Amen! These leakers need to stop being held in such high regard as if there’s something noble about being clout chasing thieves. I get the hype and excitement but there are few surprises we get in life …and these leakers will make sure there are none! Since when was the person who always ruins the surprise party ever considered to be “Cool”?? I feel kinda sad for the ppl who follow them and hang on their every word and post…it’s just reeks of desperation and a lack of basic patience. Instant gratification is a disease in itself.
@LadyCharlie
If there’s something in it for them they’ll be leaking those books and movies for u 💯.
The thing is these aren’t just “advertisements”, they are reveals. These leakers like Pyoro are not only stealing information from the developers and creators but by announcing them before they’re intended to be public knowledge, robs these developers and creators the opportunity to even present their offerings on their own terms. Imagine being an artist only to have someone display your art before you were even prepared. It’s invasive. Sure it doesn’t hurt anybody but it does take away the element of the surprise. Who doesn’t love a “shadow drop”?? Oh yeah just about every leaker
Re: Nintendo Is Currently The Richest Company In Japan
@johnedwin
That Sony Kool Aid must be something else! Sony is eternally in debt, over $31 Billion and counting! You’re talking about market share for a company that literally has no value. They didn’t even make this list as a Japanese company. That is major red flags of a poorly run business. These investments you’re touting Sony for are clearly not panning out for them. The only negative you can surmise of Nintendo being the richest, 100 % debt free as well as having the highest liquidity in all of Japan…is that they’re not spending their money ?
Re: Random: Nintendo's President Dodges Question On The Legend Of Zelda Movie

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Zooms Past 60 Million Sales
Staggering sales numbers, I’d be down for Mario Kart 9 with the inclusion of Wonder Seeds either as a power up or main game/separate mode feature. It would be neat if they introduced some themed online competitions similar to Splatfests. Hitting 60 million is prolific, congrats!
@OorWullie
These numbers are ridiculous, it’s a 10 year old game. MK8 Deluxe has sold appx the same amount as the combined lifetime sales of Spider-Man 1, God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn on the PS4. Combined. When it comes to exclusives, it’s not even close. Nintendo is by far and wide the #1 1st part developer
Re: Sifu Developer Teases "A Few Surprises" For Second Anniversary
Nice! Picked it up on a recent sale but have yet to give it a proper go. It’s another surprisingly good Switch port so more content is only added value
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 20th)
@LikelySatan
In one aspect the fact they rotate their strains weekly is legit! …but tricky to obtain those go to strains I’m assuming. Some of the names on these strains tho 😂 ….then u try it and it all makes sense! $40 for a that much shake is value tho! I’m in Canada and the dispensaries here are more likely to carry some mainstays mixed with new strains weekly. It really depends which one you go to up here.
Nice recommendation btw with DUSK. That game always makes me feel a certain way 😆
