AC: Valhalla

Finishing the main quest and mopping up side quests. Not going for trophies.

Working 12 hour this weekend and Monday. Trying to advance the story in Life is Strange 2 but I'm just too tired. Off to bed...

So many people are clamoring for MK9 but I don't see why Nintendo would do that on the current Switch. No console generation has ever gotten two MK games. They should have just introduced more DLC for MK8 imo.

I'm stuck on a bug in a pledge quest in AC Valhalla! Apparently there's away around it but I got annoyed and stopped playing. Maybe it will be patched before the first DLC expansion comes out next month.

Bought Fez, again, and am playing that right now. Good ol' times chillin' Too bad the rumored sequel won't be happening.

Was hoping for release dates for Baldo and especially Eastward, but not a bad presentation.

The upcoming 8bitdo Pro2 controller allows for FULL customizability throught their Android app. Can't beat that. Certainly not for half the price. Even with two extra paddles.

The headphone jack is a nice touch though.

Nice game, for 10 Euros or less I'm willing to double dip.

Weird so be so happy to see another gamer taking time off, not to game but to do other stuff. I would too if I could, I guess. Restricted by the virus, work, geographics etc. Enjoy your time in San Diego Mgene15

Bowser's Fury
Finally, I have the time!! One week off.
Afterwards, back to AC: Valhalla.
Afterwards, back to work....

Cannot recommend Streets of Rage 4 enough. I love playing this game with my teen daughter. Looking forward to the DLC.

No extra stability? I'm disappointed.

Folders....aaaarghhh!!! Please Nintendo! Is it really that hard?

Just Wave Race. I've such fond memories of the N64 version. The wave physics were awesome for the time. The sound, music and stage design was so iconic.

Been working all day long. I'll probably raid a couple of Bokoblin and Lizalfos camps tomorrow morning. After that, back to work.

Don't care about the price! Give me a Nintendo 4K console, or at least one that DLSS upscales to it. Get with the times Nintendo!

Just makes me want Nintendo games in 4K even more. Especially Zelda!!!

Pokémon is not my jam, but Niantic has earned their reputation with these games. But since they've only ever done Pokémon, I don't know of what they're capable of and If I would trust them with another big Nintendo franchise.

A franchise that I would like to see revived is Wave Race. Not happening, I know...

My daughters played/danced Just Dance nearly the entirety of Saturday. I got to finish Hyper Light Drifter today and I started Owl Boy.

RPGs involve character development and/or specialization through player choices and branching narratives. The Zelda series has none of that. Action/adventure it is.

Hyper Light Drifter
Beautiful game, but hard as nails. Precision timing is needed but my reflexes aren't what they used to be. My persistence hasn't diminished though

4K output would require a new SOC and more memory. This would be the info that I'm most interested in.

Here's hoping for a custom Tegra X2 or Xavier SOC with DLSS 2.0 support and 8GB of LPDDR4X

We've seen sword movement now, but what about the rest of the moves set? I would like to see small demos. Like how the flying beetle controls, how bombs are tossed and rolled, how accurate the slingshot and whip are, etc.

There is no "destroying of memories" if there are no new games of established franchises being produced. Is that their strategy?

People are clamoring for a new F-Zero and I would love to see a new Wave Race game.

Minute of Islands looks weird, but in a good way. Might get it. Waiting for the reviews.

No time to play anything. Finishing up a report for work due next week. Luckily this doesn't happen often. I'll be playing Bowser's Fury as soon as I get the time.

@Jakiboy
With a lot of older games not being re-released on modern consoles, there will always be a demand for spiritual successors. No, not all games that try to capture that yesteryear's essence are as good as the originals but don't let nostalgia rob you of the joy that some of these titles can bring you. And you're always free to ignore these releases

Sea of Solitude wasn't received too well. I wonder if the director's cut will bring some improvements. I'd might pick it up.

When it comes to indies, I'm looking forward to Baldo, Eastward, Hazelnut Bastille and Heart Forth, Alicia

Face it guys. Even if the "Super Switch" releases this year, no one is gonna get their hands on one. The scalpers will be ready :S

Overall a decent presentation because there was something cool there for everybody. Almost...everybody. I'm hard to please.

My biggest surprise was with Skyward Sword HD. For the longest time I was convinced that it wouldn't be technically possible for the Joycons to do the same job as the Wiimote and nunchuck. But, Nintendo seems to have faith in it, and that's saying something. I'm still a bit skeptical though.

I'm playing SM3DW this weekend, but just a few levels a day because I'm working. On a break as I write. I love the game, as I did on the Wii U. I do find the upped running speed hard to get used to. I'm hoping for an update where you can toggle it on or off in the options menu.

The longer I look the more and more frustrating it is to realize that Nintendo will never ever treat their most valuable franchises with the the same love as modders do.

Nobody will get a Switch Pro, this year or next. Not for MSRP anyway. Scalpers will be ready.

Playing nothing. Working a lot. Really a lot. Not complaining though. Looking forward to playing Luigi's Mansion 3 soon. Bought it on sale.

Original NES and SNES d-pads were the best. Why? They were soft yet responsive. Membrane then vs clicky now. Rounded off corners then vs sharp edged now. Not all things get better with time...

Not THE greatest action/RPG, but a very enjoyable one nonetheless.

@gcunit
The snooty type. I a used harsher word in my earlier post but it got edited by NL. Censored.

She was somewhat cute in the Scott Pillgrim movie. She played the roll well. It came off really natural.

Looking forward to the Game Grumps playthrough.

Scott Pilgrim, YUSSSS!!!!

"Bigger than ever"

First thought; 6GB+ ???
"2.9 GB"
Oh, no biggie

Meh, I'd rather have a new Wave Race.

The chance of Skyward Sword coming to the Switch is almost impossible imo.

1. Motion control in SS uses the gyroscope AND the infrared sensor for aiming. The Joycon can't do both at the same time like a Wiimote. The cursor aiming in SS needs to be accurate and a gyroscopic controlled cursor isn't. Look at Mario Galaxy on the Switch. The cursor needs to be recentered every few seconds. It wouldn't work.

2. If the motion controls were to be ditched (like many people are hoping for) then the game would have to be fundamentally redesigned. Combat AND puzzles. Not only would this be a HUGE undertaking that Nintendo probably isn't willing to do, it would also completely change the character and charm of the game.

A possible hardware solution could be a specially designed Joycon rail attachment with a forward facing infrared sensor and reintroducing a sensor bar like the one supplied with the Wii.

I would have preferred it if Arin Hanson had done Zelda's voice.

Yes, it sticks out. They could get rid of the red background or place it in the middle of the other icons. But it's really not a problem for me. I'm more bothered by the lack of folder support.

Wave Race 64...
Such a perfect game. I desperately want this game (original and remake) and Wave Race Blue Storm on my Switch.

I've tried the demo. Not my kind of game.

The fact that he's congratulating Xbox and not Sony speaks volumes from a marketing point of view. I think that we're going to see a lot more of the Microsoft-Nintendo partnership these coming years.

PS4 first, Switch second. Simply because the PS4 exclusives are more to my liking. I'll get a PS5 next year.

Finishing up The Last Of Us II before AC: Valhalla. But also collecting a dozen or so stars in Mario Galaxy.

I think the situation with Covid and the lockdowns suits Nintendo very well. With sale figures like these, there is no need to introduce a more powerful Switch any time soon. Despite of what the rumors are saying.
