Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th September)

Going to participate in the weekly ritual @ Tetris Effect Connected, as usual. I need more points to unlock the last Guardian Avatar so I'll do some games of Full Moon as well.

Looking for 3 more P-switch missions to complete before I take a break from Mario Kart World. I'm at 90 hours, which means an average of 1h per day since S2 launched. I've had my fun, and would like to keep 100 missions to play while in the online lobbies when I'll be getting back into the game.

I've managed to Platinum all the chapters with Jeanne and Viola in hard mode @ Bayonetta 3, so now I'm enjoying playing with my favourite character again!

Happy gaming!! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer

Yalloo

To be fair, I judged this one as "good", I did have a good time half watching it while busy with other things.

The trailer for MP4 looked bad, and the open world and biking was a big surprise to say the least. I played the demo and loved it so I'm happy it's coming soon and will pre-order nonetheless.

HW AoI, also really happy it's coming so soon and looks really good (for a HW game) but still ... where is my Link??

Next to that the new Yoshi game looks gorgeous but I need to know that it will be more challenging than CW and there will be several music tracks this time around ..

SMG are my favourite 3D Mario games, so I will love playing them again on my Switch, they're worth every penny.

I enjoyed SMBW too but a multiplayer DLC is nothing for me unfortunately.

Enough news in any way. Just too bad there is no Super Mario 40 or something similar, it would have been so easy and 35 was so fun. For the rest, I'm already building hundreds of hours of backlog on S2, and that's all that matters.

Also happy with some of the new Amiibos coming. Too bad still no Bayonetta 3 & HW Amiibo's and no Bayonetta announcements either.

Loved reading through most of the comments here. 🧡🎮

Mario Kart World: I haven't made progress on my 3 missing Peach medallions so I intend to find one this weekend.

Tetris Effect Connected: participating in the weekly ritual + full moon. I'll definitely get at least one of my last 4 missing Guardian Avatars today.

Bayonetta 3: Missing 4 Platinum medals in normal mode, including the three chapters with Viola ..

Tetris 99: participating in the 49th cup, always good fun, just getting the 20 points for each theme quickly, even though I already have them.

These are my gaming plans for this rainy weekend.

Happy gaming! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Re: CD Projekt Reveals 75% Of Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Sales Were Physical In Opening Month

Yalloo

@Krambo42 I'm also actually considering buying the Yooka remake. I don't have an interest in the game (didn't play the original though) and absolutely hated the Impossible Lair, so the reason is purely because it's all on the cartridge.
I've pre-ordered Demon X, which I would not have done should it not have been on the cartridge either.

The situation is a little bit abnormal since the S2 is brand new and there are fewer games at the moment, but in my case being a physical collector actually impacts which games I'm adding to my backlog.

I've been wanting to get Cyberpunk, so that was a no-brainer. On the other hand I did not get Hitman and I'm affraid I will also not get to play Elden Ring...

Re: Opinion: Silksong's Big 'Anticlimactic' Premiere Was Absolutely Perfect

Yalloo

The only reason Silksong didn't release earlier is because HK sold so many copies since the sequel was announced ... 3 millions before, 12 millions after. They would have been completely dumb to release that game any time before now.

I absolutely adored HK and will be happy to jump into Silksong as soon as a proper physical comes out. But all the stories about the devs taking their sweet time make no sense whatsoever, at least to me.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd August)

I'm spending a few days in Dublin, so I'm not gaming so much ...

I am playing Bayonetta 3 on the Switch every now and then, and will participate in the weekend ritual @ Tetris Effect Connected.

I took the Switch 2 along as well in case I want to play MK World, but I'm collecting Peach Medallions and I miss 3 ... which will probably be a pain to find. Going to use one of the online interactive maps, after the NLife guide left me in this situation ... I don't know what I did wrong .. but it's just what it is. The game map is really lame imo.

Happy gaming!! 🙏🏻🧡🎮

Bayonetta 3: I've started a new playthrough. Love this game!
Still wondering what Platinum is cooking for Bayonetta's 15th anniversary ... better not be just another HD / remaster ...

Tetris Effect Connected: weekend ritual + full moon, as usual.

Mario Kart World: over halfway through the collection of Peach medallions. If it wasn't for the rewind feature I would have given up a long time ago.

Happy gaming! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Re: Review: CRKD x Gibson Guitar Controller For Switch + Switch 2 - Great Quality, At A Price

Yalloo

Wow ... is this product placement? I didn't bother reading the whole review, just the intro and conclusion, so maybe this is mentioned somewhere. An accessory that can only be used with one game... I wonder.

In any ways, I love rythm games and would be curious which games I can play with this ... as long as the input lag is not as bad as it was with all these accessories back in the day.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown: I'm doing the Divine Memorials and have just reached the Stallion's boss. Man, those challenges are tough!

Tetris Effect Connected: I'm participating in the weekend ritual + Full Moon.

Drag x Drive: I've downloaded the demo and I'll jump in for a couple of rounds this afternoon to participate in the Global Jam. I enjoyed similar events back in the days with Splatoon on Wii U and Switch.

Mario Kart World: Been slowly collecting panels and medallions, not the most fun thing to do, luckily there's always the P-Switches to keep it interesting.

Happy gaming! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Re: Rumour: Three Games Were Pulled From Nintendo's Direct Partner Showcase, According To Veteran Games Journalist

Yalloo

@topsekret Hey, I must admit my comment was mostly a joke. Copying the data onto the cart is simply not the part of the process that takes the longest.

I have read extensively on the matter (I am a physical collector afteral) and my conclusion is simple: when you don't want to do something, it will be very difficult to actually get it done. You can order something 3D printed from China and get it the next day but a proper physical edition of a game on Switch 2 is impossible?!...

I'm not sure about SR2, but they can release a digital game that they will patch digitally while releasing a physical version that could be unfinished and seriously bugged would be another story.
There are all sorts of "checkpoints" on the road of making these physical cartridges nowadays with delays in between them and that for sure gets shortened when going just digital.
Finally they take a much bigger margin on the digital only product so they want to give it priority by selling only that version during the first months.

To come back to your other comment (about Elden Ring), I'm also hopeful. Since there has been no announcements from companies like LRG about pre-orders for physical games on S2, Nintendo and their 3rd parties must be looking into the matter. I imagine otherwise LRG would have jumped on the opportunity. Most of these games fit on an S2 cart, they can set a DLC aside or a language pack and most of the game would be on the cart, versus GKC where nothing actually is.

Tetris 99: unlocked the DKB theme. The music is stellar, what a cool theme for the collection. I ended up twice second. I always forget how much I prefer 99 over Effect, it feels so much more natural and fluid.

Prince of Persia - The Lost Crown: working my way through the Divine Trials, I'm left with the Stallion and Auroch Memorials. Almost done with the flowers and mushrooms... if you know the one.

Mario Kart World: got all of my 3 stars and just roaming around collecting the panels, 87 to go.

Tetris Effect Connected: will participate in the weekend ritual to make sure I get my event avatar of the week.

Happy gaming! ✌🏻🧡🎮 Happy Pride! 🧡😍

Re: Mortal Kombat's Legacy Kollection Might Actually Get A Proper Physical Release On Switch 2

Yalloo

I'm wondering ... in the US, when you go to a shop prices don't include taxes. Is it still like this nowadays? So when you get to checkout you always have to pay much more than you thought. Is it the same with these online prices? So 47 USD is actually not the price including taxes?

Oh, and of course, lovely to read about one physical S2 game actually on the card! I'm not into this kind of games unfortunately, but I'll see if I can find someone to buy it for.

Re: Hitman: Absolution Sneaks Onto Switch 1 Later This Year, Switch 2 In 2026

Yalloo

Nice, news and a review alltogether. Thanks for that.

To add to the discussion here, I've played Blood Money for the first time this year, through the LRG physical release. I've been pretty disappointed. Maybe the game was good back in the days, but in 2025 it's completely outdated. Sure the scenarios are cool and very inventive but the gameplay, UI, and lack of automatic saves make playing it way more frustrating than it has the right to be. I will also mention the ugly old graphics, useless "music" and poor sound design.
I'm sure people who love this game have played it for the first time back in the days.

Absolution being over 10 years old, and straying off path is not going to make me a believer either I guess.

I was looking forward to World of Assassination on S2... but game-key card is big no-thank-you.

Re: Ubisoft Reportedly Cancels Star Wars Outlaws Sequel

Yalloo

Seems like they're bringing this onto themselves. .. Releasing unfinished games that build a community of haters. I read here that the game is now working fine and potentially even good but also seems everybody is still hungup on how bad it was when most people got onto it. Well ... respect goes a long way in case you wondered ...
