A lot of DK Bonanza and Metroid for me this Weekend, Love them both.
On Series X I'm continuing Keeper and Forza Motorsport. Just did 10 laps of Mount Panorama. Finished 18th after a 9 second penalty. That track is brutal.
First six months I get to play a new Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and Metroid. Add to that some solid 3rd party support with Star Wars, Cyberpunk and others.
The machine Itself feels great to use, quality is good and IMO, the screen is great.
Only negative for me is the storage, just not enough.
I've played more Switch 2 in the last 6 months than Switch in the 2 years before it came out.
Excited about what the next couple of years bring. A solid 8 (8.5) from me.
@Elektrogeist1287 Yes, been looking forward to this game for a long time, and like the different take. People like complaining for the sake of it sometimes.
Picked up Hyrule Warriors today. This is my first game like this and must say, quite enjoying it. Also still going through DK Bonanza.
Also playing The Crew Motorfest on Series X. Picked it up in a sale a few weeks ago. Apart from the constant chatter while racing I'm really enjoying it. Looks stunning as well.
@SirLink Curious why you prefer code in a box over key card? Isn't when you use the code in a box it is locked to your account. Key cards you can resell if you want? Now I may have that wrong, but it's what I thought. Have to download either way.
Seems every time a big wig at MS says something Xbox the hole gets a little deeper. Perhaps they shouldn't say anything until there's something actually tangible to say.
Picked up Alan Wake 2 and The Crew Motorfest in the current Xbox sale, so been playing those all Weekend. And some Split Fiction and Galaxy on Switch 2. Happy gaming everyone.
Playing EA Sports PGA Tour Golf on Series X at the moment. Also Expedition 33 on the same platform. On Switch 2 I'm playing Mario Kart (of course), and No Man's Sky.

@OLD64FOREVER It takes an age to load in and get started, but once done it all seems to play pretty smoothly. Looks pretty good to my eye as well.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (7th February)

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade?
I am loving it, and far prefer it to the original (controversial opinion I know). A 9 for me based on the few hours played so far.

Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo's Dominance Continues As Switch 2 Flies Past 4 Million Units Sold

Have this on Series X and love it. May well get it again on Switch 2 when the price drops.

Pretty good list. Claire 33 is brilliant. Good to see South of Midnight in there too. Really enjoying that game.
Re: Review: Octopath Traveler 0 (Switch 2) - A Bit Of A Retread, But Unmissable (And Enormous)
@Exerion76 I'm in the same boat. The game looks great. But I don't know if I have the appetite for it. For those that do, enjoy. P.S. great review.

Excellent review. Excited to pick this one up.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Meet The Team
@Dang_69 Legitimate? Perhaps wait until the game is out and played before having a whinge.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th November)
@Gs69 Have you used the original Switch pro controller? Wondering if the Pro 2 is worth the upgrade over it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th November)
Picked up Hyrule Warriors today. This is my first game like this and must say, quite enjoying it. Also still going through DK Bonanza.

Re: Mario Kart World And Donkey Kong Bananza Shortlisted For 'Console Game Of The Year'
I love both MK and DK. But Clair is GOTY in my eyes.

Hades 2 and Prime 4 already pre-ordered. Will wait on the reviews for Hyrule Warriors before deciding on that one.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Pre-Orders Live, Switch 2 Pro Controller And Amiibo Confirmed
@SirLink Fair enough. Personally I prefer the key card option. I don't mind swapping them out.

I really want that generation pack, is not going to be cheap though.
