@Neoicelord RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! I didn't know honestly, but hey i too adore this game, haha. If anyone reading this hasn't played it: correct that! It's so good! Almost done with 100% completion (on a puzzle game of all things) but other games got in the way. And with the updates i suppose there's more completion to do again .

OH MY GOD YES!! Give me Lego games without any franchise attached to it that i have no interest in!! Especially since the gameplay in most of those is really just the same. (Happy for anyone who enjoys them though, i do like them still, they're just often rather samey)

I never liked Football but played a lot of the old Lego Football (or maybe it was called Lego Soccer, i don't remember haha)! It's kinda morbid that they're trying to build off of the World Cup hype since Lego is toys and FIFA is...well scandalous to say the least, in regards to the upcoming world cup :/. Kinda leaves a bitter taste

Holy hell, this is soooo adorable! I want this! 😄

This game is wonderful so far! Just got done with the first world and boss. The controls are a little floaty though, which sometimes makes you overshoot where you intend to go and the grappling can be a bit finicky.

Oh and i also don't like when games gate your progression with collectibles. Just give me cool stuff like costumes for the collectibles instead of blocking levels. It just feels like artificial padding to me and i feel i should be allowed to move through the game as quickly or slowly as i would like. But again, wonderful game, the difficulty is right in that sweet spot so far where you're making good progress but have to reattempt a section here and there. I loved tough platformers like Cyber Shadow and The Messenger, as well as Shovel Knight but sometimes a medium difficulty can give you that nice feeling of accomplishment without being to much of a distraction in your life. And this game is one of those.

I already hated the "better" gamer foods like "Gamer Fuel" bc it's still just all-in-one shakes - but more expensive because now it says "gamer" on it. But if they're now promoting actual junk food, that's even worse. They didn't really get the memo that you're supposed to be >actually< sorta nutritious now, did they?

@Kyloctopus Source? Because that sounds horrible :/

Not just because i'm personally excited for specific games, just the fact that there's so much that people wanted is crazy! So a great direct for Nintendo fans and there were definitely a few things that excite me - ahem - PORTAL OMG. And it's the NVIDIA Lightspeed Studios port. They ported Portal and Half Life 2 to the Tegra Shield tablets. Half Life 2 on Switch could well be within the cards now, which is crazy.

@BluFenix Oh my god, even if - Team17 was doing NFTs yeah. But this game is not an NFT. The developers are not NFTs.

I totally get where you're coming from but i'm afraid we would just hurt the cause if we boycott games, instead of NFTs. People boycotted EAs lootbox ***** - they saw that and made a singleplayer Star Wars adventure game and everybody liked it. They decide what to make based on what sells. And it saddens me to think that a developer works their ass off to create a fun experience, just for people to end up not buy it.

In short: Buy games to show publisher you want games - don't buy NFTs to show publisher you don't want NFTs. Simple.

Awww these are copyright-strikingly cute!

I mean, this is by the guys who made Stikbold, a well loved indie game that released before Knockout City...come on guys, yeah it's Ubisoft but hate on the company, not the people trying to make a good game.

@ttyler1999 I was gonna say that too! Man the game looks like such a feel-good game - but there's probably not just gonna be all happy, with the guys trying to shoot them - i'm excited for this!

@Burntbreadman A console or a cartoon are definitely things to consider as well.

The last time an announcement was described as groundbreaking was from Sega when they introduced their own cloud service for arcade games (i think it was).
So yeah...either bought by Microsoft, NFTs, Cloud Gaming or their own Games Store. Please be none of those and instead just be new games from them 😅. As others have said "groundbreaking" does literally reference shovels, so hey who knows!

Wait so I didn't actually need to beat that first Lyenel to get shock arrows, i could have just done this 😮

This game was really good, if a little messy at times with all the insane action obstructing your view on enemy projectiles 😄. But yeah, i really enjoyed this one and it's so lovingly crafted! Excited for this update!

@Don Maybe post that on the NintendoSwitch subreddit! I'd imagine it'll get lost in this comment thread and on Reddit you could actually see if there's others with the same issue!

Reminds me of Hidden&Dangerous which i loved as a kid....uhh i mean as a person of the age it was rated for of course

@NinChocolate Yeah. Some JRPGs just have these really unpleasant faces and i always wonder why they do it.

Man I'm curious to try it but it really doesn't look good at all. If i saw a 360 video of BOTW I'd be like "oh wow that looks amazing" the whole time. This game on the other hand just looks bland 😕. I hope the gameplay can make up for it. It would be so sad if the game just doesn't turn out to be an actual update/reinvention of sorts to the franchise it had the chance to be.

(Hot take: Sword and Shield looked much better 😅 (although personally i always liked how they looked))

I really would have chosen a different name than Ocean's Horn for a Zelda inspired game when there's already two of the name of Oceanhorn on Switch being Zelda inspired games 😅. It almost sounds inspired by a game that was inspired by Zelda in turn, haha. Looks well done though, could be really nice i think!

Edit - It's Ocean's Heart actually, not Horn...well that's a little better at least 😄

@Kirby_Girl I was trying to make a joke since username is literally Kirby_Girl 😄

@Kirby_Girl Huh, never took you as a particular Kirby fan

I love the title of this game, it's so my humor 😄

Megaquarium is a really neat little tycoon game, i think this flew under the radar for many except for people like me who are constantly on the lookout for new games to scratch that management itch on Switch specifically, haha

@nessisonett I mean, there's always market valuation and then there's money you need to pay in order to convince someone to let them buy your company. I think that's how those premiums come to be and surely there's other factors at play as well.

This game looks really cool and i love the theme they were going for! Hope they really fleshed that out. The boss slamming his briefcase on the floor to create this sort of ripple attack for example, i love that!

This game just didn't get old for me even though it's mostly just the same throughout the game. Bringing down buildings with this game's dynamic destruction is just wonderful!

Absolutely get this game!

@Silly_G i was agreeing with nessisonett but actually that's a good point too.

@nessisonett PowerPoint. I mean, word.

@Zuljaras Ooooh nice! And thank you, merry christmas to you too! 😄🎄

@Zuljaras Did you make that? That looks super nice!

@moodycat Not even golf can make RPGs exciting for me 😅

@Kilroy @Warioware Doesn't that beg the question what OCD is by both of your definitions? I'm genuinely curious about this discussion now! By warioware's definition it doesn't seem like "an amusing quirk" can be "truly all that it is" ever. Sorry for hijacking this discussion, i was thinking about this same issue a lot in the past.

Also your first hand experience would be interesting to me Kilroy! Feel like it might help me understand the perspective

@Warioware Wholeheartedly agree with you.

"It's often passed off in entertainment and media as some sort of amusing quirk" Yesssss. Always feels so disrespectful, like "f you, be thankful you don't actually have to suffer from it". Same with romanticizing depression. It's troubling because it makes those issues seem less real or serious.

@BoilerBroJoe Thank you for saying that - i would just disagree on the "tangible value" these products produce. They produce fun, ambitions and so much more. And that's just what this guy has too. Maybe some people here are just envious that he's getting news coverage for something that feels like "man i could have done that"? I honestly don't know but i like that you're on the positive side too 😄

Man, pretty disappointed with this one. Surely lots of games for other people to enjoy but not for me sadly :/.

The most exciting thing was Parkasaurus, but since that'll be releasing in Spring, i'll probably have my Steam Deck by then hopefully, so i would play that there anyway i think.

@Snatcher Ha! Comedy Gold 😌. Also nice christmas-themed update to your pfp haha!

@GrailUK I like the way you said that haha

I hate that so many games adopt this Fortnite-ish cartoon style. Maybe that's not what they were going for and i just hate anything that resembles that game though. With the amount of Fortnite-looking games, i feel like it could be just me 😅

@Kayvoo Welp, good point haha 😄

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS. But yeah, no way there's gonna be a Switch port, haha

@Zuljaras Ah nice, thank you! They look amazing!

@Zuljaras And i shamelessly appreciate you showing them off! They look great!! Do you make these just for fun for yourself or also for others?

@Clyde_Radcliffe Nowadays i don't think anyone really considers them ugly anymore, they became very in-style after starting to gain popularity as a joke 😄

@Medic_Alert Lol i actually gave it a chance because of your comment. I thought i would really not like this. I was right 😅. Oh well, if it brings some attention to our favorite hobby, i'm all for it! And i hope other people like it!

Oh hell yeah, this game was sooooooooo good!! Just hope i can get the controls down again, after having been done with the game for a while now, they were quite confusing for a good while, haha.

Play this game folks, it's amazing! And personally, i really didn't find it too short, but rather adequate.

Wow, if they really programmed all these extra fighting animations in JUST IN CASE you already have an item you're not supposed to - then that is absolutely incredible. Or they were very aware of sometimes very obscure sequence breaks. Which would be equally incredible.

I was hoping for this!! The first one was very nice in parts and then not at all in others, eventually making me quit it. But i can totally see them getting it right the second time around, so yeah, i was hoping this would happen and i'm excited for it! Personally i'm happy for them that their second game was an actual success, but i just don't seem to be able to enjoy Donkey-Kong-style platforming. So i am more hyped for another go at a 3D platformer.

Sorry to interrupt the politics-in-games discussion 😅, just wanted to say I'm happy to see more city builders on Switch and this game has been reviewed great on PC! I honestly expected a higher score from NintendoLife but one of the cons being the graphical downgrade. Anyway, curious to try this game out!

Uhm... probably not the best idea to show a cow glitched into the ground in an official screenshot, is it?

@BenAV +1000 hours in Isaac? I like you.

On-topic: YES finally!!
