I completed Gold stake for first time last night with the blue deck. 65 hours of playtime it took, and it kinda feels like I finished the game which is nice 😊
@Not_Soos "Stellar" is a bit much 😅, It was OK. Hopefully the Zelda film is more than just OK, it's got such a rich story potential that Mario doesn't have.
Bought it today and yip, it's got a pretty addictive loop. Didn't actually get that from watching Alex's video but once you play it boy does it click. Felt compelled to buy it to support the developer after this ratings fiasco
@Sonicka Thanks for trying to help, maybe will get there with practice, guessing for others it clicks more instantly! Still haven't worked out the revving on the ground too, it seems to happen sometimes with press of ZR and sometimes not
Played a couple of worlds and finding I am always fighting the controls, I want to like the game but falling down pits because I can't seem to get momentum going feels tedious, maybe I need to learn some moves, not sure what I'm missing
I bought it and I love it for having a moderately challenging yet strangely calming mindless touch control game on your switch for bite size downtime times.
I'm down with a cold and this game is pretty much what I needed right now, pleasant to look at, chill, just enough puzzleyness. Sometimes in life, you get the game you need, not the game you want.
But... Wish this was a collection that included game boy DK 1994 shakes weary fist
I think we will be forced to get a micro SD card, got a 400gb one slapped on my switch. No need to have all your games downloaded so 256 is reasonable, but are Nintendo Reasonable?
2023 is the best year for the Switch for my money. So many top tier games

All golden releases, knocked it out the park. Good luck 2024, you'll need it!
@PinderSchloss Definitely a mature response that chimes with me. Internet comments are quick to jump into black and white, red or blue team and it's far too polarising. There are always shades of grey, unknown truths and this ultimately a tragedy that a once committed, hard working, entertaining YouTuber could fall so badly from grace.

Re: Nintendo Switch Surpasses 140 Million Sales As Company Acknowledges Successor
To go from one of the worst selling consoles of all time to the 3rd best, minimum, is a phenomenal achievement.
Re: Nintendo Acknowledges That Successor Announcement May "Impact" Switch Sales
I mean, just be grateful your old system is still selling well and isn't the Wii U, it's time to move on and set sights on the future Nintendo execs.
Re: Rumour: Switch Successor's Codename May Have Been Uncovered
Plain... Hmm.... Interesting if there is any truth to this, it makes me curious how simple the aesthetic of the console could be?

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Princess Peach: Showtime!
7/10 is the right score, polished but basic and not the all ages Mario experience that Peach deserved
Re: Review: Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) - Peach Breaks A Leg In A High-Class Production
The demo has to be the most kiddy thing I have ever played, more than yoshis story even with its cringe inducing Laaa, La La La, Laaaa!

Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Isn't Coming Until 2025, What's Nintendo Got Up Its Sleeve This Year?
I think the ultimate no brainier for me is an HD remake of Ocarina of Time. If they just made that, that's all 2024 would need.
Re: UK Charts: Mario vs. Donkey Kong Swings Past The Competition In Its Debut Week
I mean.... Well done but realistically it seems a smart release week with no competition besides ageing evergreen titles?
Re: Mario vs. Donkey Kong's OG Composers Talk Making The Jump From GBA To Switch
To be fair the post credits content more than doubles the base game so it's not as dinky a dinky kong as one may perceive on initial impressions

Re: Poll: How Much Internal Storage Would Be Reasonable For 'Switch 2'?
I think we will be forced to get a micro SD card, got a 400gb one slapped on my switch. No need to have all your games downloaded so 256 is reasonable, but are Nintendo Reasonable?

Re: 'Switch 2' Will Be An Iterative Evolution And Will Cost $400, Predicts Analyst
The Switch 2DS, releasing this year will be exactly the same but run in 4K, double the battery life and have an optional 3D effect.
Nintendo will then follow up with a true successor in 2027 called the Noober Groober duder.
Re: Talking Point: What Was The Best Switch Moment Of 2023?
2023 is the best year for the Switch for my money. So many top tier games
Metroid Prime
Octopath Traveller 2
Advance wars
Zelda
Pikmin 4
Sea of Stars
Dredge
Metal gear games on a Nintendo console
F-ZERO 99
Mario Wonder
Super Mario rpg
All golden releases, knocked it out the park. Good luck 2024, you'll need it!

Hmm
1. Sea of Stars
2.Tears of the Kingdom
3. Pikmin 4
4. Metroid Prime Remastered
5. F-ZERO 99
Honourable mention: Octopath Traveller II
Re: Soapbox: It Feels Like Everyone Forgot The Best Switch RPG Of The Year
Played the demo a few days ago and now Octopath Traveller 2 has become my Christmas game - compelling characters.
I didn't like the first game's demo but the sequel has grabbed me so they must have improved it.
