I have never played this game before so really looking forward to it. Christmas shaping up to be so much fun!!

Hope Hogwarts Legacy reviews well on Switch. Seemed to be fairly high praise for it on ps5.

@120frames-please Ugh. Yes it’s called Cave Story and I checked and NL has reviewed it. Sorry about that!

I haven’t heard this game talked about in awhile but one of the first games that I played for Switch was CaveBoy. Intriguing story, kooky characters, enjoyable but challenging platforming, and a memorable soundtrack. I think I read that one person designed the entire game. So impressive.

I’m getting ready to play Metroid Prime for the first time on Switch after just finishing Ori and the Will of the Wisps (tremendous game)… but can’t wait to get Wonder and think I will save if for Christmas time!

I think I’ve put in about 50 hours and I’ve finished 2 temples, barely done anything underground, collected 2 memories, and have found 52 koroks. The world is massive, I constantly get sidetracked, and I wish I had more time in the day to tackle this game.

While I really enjoy the game, I’m thinking about taking a break and tryout out Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I know it got good reviews and I really enjoyed the first game.

I can’t believe how some people have put in over 100 or even 200 hours already. Yikes. Love the game but nowhere close to finished and that’s ok because another Zelda won’t be coming out to play for awhile. Going to enjoy this one.

I’ve never played Metroid Prime before so really looking forward to this. What a treat for February.

My top 5 Atari games of all time:

5. Pitfall
4. Super Breakout
3. Frogger
2. Missile Command
1. Space Invaders

Honorable mention: Kaboom

There’s many I never played.

I also remember sinking way too many hours into ET. Ugh!

@SpaceyCiel Kirby and the Rainbow Curse… I still have that game - best and possibly most underrated Kirby game.

@dugan Glad you are enjoying! I rarely replay games but this is one that I’ve replayed and will again at some point for the reasons you’ve listed.

Love Horizon Chase Turbo and this update made my night. I play with my 3 sons and we’ve had some intense races. Love unlocking the new cars and skins too. We’ve worn out Mario Kart but this isn’t far off as far as family fun goes.

@dugan Yes love the game for all of the reasons you listed. Glad you’re enjoying ! Would love to see a sequel soon. I know there’s been talk of one.

@dugan Did you like Tropical Freeze? It’s one of my favorite platformers.

@GrailUK Not sure but was wondering the same thing if anyone has an opinion on that.

Does Knights of the Old Republic not count? Never played it but it got good reviews.

@Kiz3000 who has the Mario steelbooks? I missed this

@Beaucine
Regarding your first paragraph, no it’s not a given that we play better games as time goes on. I didn’t mean to imply that we always do. As often, the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

There are so many more things we can do this day and age in the Zelda series that we couldn’t do 35 years ago. But you make a great point regarding gameplay. I had as much entertainment with the original Zelda as I do with the most recent.

Regarding your last paragraph, I think maybe this is a matter of context or even semantics. I think by stating that “the game has aged surprisingly well” answers your question “is the gameplay good” regarding Crysis. At least this is how I interpret all of this contextually. But I agree with with a lot what you said. I’ll give you final comment if you wish. Thanks for discussing.

@Beaucine I don’t think I agree. I actually think saying that the game has aged well is a compliment to the game in this context. Also, I think you’re missing what actually occurs most often. When a game is first released, we love the game. As the years pass, technology improves, game design improves, etc., we get used to playing better games and, in hindsight, that original and older game that we used to think was amazing isn’t quite so amazing. Not always but sometimes.

I will always remember playing SMB for the first time. It was the best game that I’d ever played in my life. Over the years, now that I look back on it and see how the series has evolved, it is no longer my favorite game to play in the SMB catalog of games. But it has aged incredibly well and is a testament and compliment to the game, itself.

@KingBowser86 Yeah the minecarts had moments but I felt they were too difficult in some parts (Or I’m just not that skilled!)

@KingBowser86 Tropical Freeze is one of my favorite platformers ever!

@KBuckley27 I just started this game and really enjoying it so far. If it’s this good throughout than I think it deserves a spot in the top 50.

Witcher 3 vs DQ12... if you only have time for 1 of them, which one ??
