The great thing about the switch is that as a relapsed gamer.
Now almost 30 but had a hiatus from serious gaming since my teens, only dipping in and out of AAA titles I was interested in.
That was until the Switch launched, first console I have ever got on launch day. It appeals to my lifestyle, mixes new releases and re releases of brilliant games I never got to play but can now do at my convience.
This is the best platform for gaming I have ever had. And I have been gaming since the Atari.
Sweetness the switch is really becoming my dream RPG machine that I wanted it to be and this month is killing me as I can't or afford play everything releasing - best month on Switch yet
I am an on and off MTG fanatic so would love for MTG arena to come to the switch when it releases.
Was waiting for Hearthstone but this will definitely tide me over till either of those options arrive. Or I would happily try gwent too as I had fun with witcher 3.
And maybe this will be the stepping stone I need to finally play Skyrim.
@Fooligan agreed buddy I was looking at the JRPG launch list and thinking firstly how could I afford it next month and then how I could have the time to play it too
Such a busy weekend but can't wait to jump into this for a casual try. Was going to buy physical but since it is double gold points and only 2.6gb I will be preordering if it makes me smile even a little bit
Playing through the first one at the moment and it is brilliant, release timing is good too as it will give me enough time to finish it then a different game in between before it releases
So there is a magic the gathering Grand Prix in Birmingham this weekend so I will be mostly spell slinging. But in between rounds I have squeezed in completing the 3rd Mercenaries game of Mercenaries saga and am now stuck at the stripper fight in South Park
Really want this game, thought it would come out ages ago but sadly other priorities mean I have to wait till payday. More than enough backlog to ride me over though
Still working my way through Mercenaries saga, done game 2 and almost finished 3. Need to go back to 1 as I cocked up my first play through somehow - luckily not too far in.
So onto my wish list as I am also playing South Park ATM only 5 hours into that but I hear it is only a 15 hr game anyways
Doooooood!!!!! Damn best news today for sure. I loved Disgaea 5 played 80 hours to do story and dlc levels plus some item world grinding. This my kind of humour and tactics 👍
U.K. Schools are seeing impending funding cuts from local authorities due to government cutbacks. Other than the odd pilot scheme or self funded projects by highly motivated engaged educators. I do not see this having any impact beyond specific classrooms as teachers have more pressing matters to worry about

Re: Review: Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn (Switch)

Shaq fu hits all my satirical comedy buttons, couldn't care about the game system which is mildly entertaining. It just makes me laugh.
