@UpsideDownRowlet that is strange!

@rvcolem1 I haven’t gotten around to finishing earthbound (oops! Need to get back to it) but I was really loving it when I was playing. Especially in the overall vibes of the game like with the art, characters, dialogue, and especially the music.

But yup, we all have different tastes! And thank god for that

My DS Lite sadly went to console heaven when I was but a young whippersnapper.

Reading the honourable mentions, I’m intrigued by Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass

Happy to hear my tale of thievery included! Haha.

Will have a lot of fun reading these through properly after work

Neither got a Pokémon backlog. Maybe will get LeafGreen in the future if it’s on sale

Cyberpunk 2077
I’ve started this game earlier this week and have a bit over 20 hours in it already! Really enjoying it (especially as I got it on a great sale). Quests are interesting, combat is fun, story is compelling, and I love just driving around Night City!

Donkey Kong Country
I’ve played this game a lot but I’ve never finished it! So I’ve started a new file and having a blast. One of the best soundtracks for any video game IMO. I particularly enjoy talking to Cranky Kong cuz his rants crack me up.

Sims 4
Of course I couldn’t vote this option as it’s not on any Nintendo consoles, but I’ve picked up Sims 4 on my laptop again as my sister has been playing it. I think this will be more of a fleeting phase but I’ve been enjoying it. I’m impressed it runs on my laptop to be fair!

I loooooove this generation of Pokémon. This one was a hard choice. I love Appleton, Inteleon, Cinderace, Toxtricity. But in the end I chose Zamazenta:)

Reckon I’ll wait and see if these go on sale I have a Pokémon backlog anyways

@Uncle_Franklin Same vote as me! Xerneas is a close second but Goodra just has such a great design. Love the whole evolution line actually plus the shiny design is brilliant too.

TOXICROAK IS THE 🐐

Gen 2 has a lot of my faves but Feraligatr is my number 1 favourite of all time and always will be!!! He’s been a friend for 15 years

A tough one for sure! I love Slowpoke, Meowth, Charizard, Squirtle….

But I’ve ended up going with the classic: Pikachu! He’s just so cute and a perfect mascot for the series

For me this weekend it’s:

Cyberpunk 2077-
Just bought this game a couple days ago. Only played a couple hours so far but I’m really enjoying the world building and I liked the character creator.

Sonic X Shadow Generations-
I’ve been enjoying this game, especially the modern Sonic stages

I’m definitely feeling a Disco Elysium shaped hole in my heart right now though after finishing the game! It was so good, absolute 10/10

I’ve submitted mine! Regardless if my submission makes the cut or not, I’m excited to read everyone else’s letters!

Not a new game at all, but just pointing out that On UK eshop, Cyberpunk 2077 is at its cheapest every price at £30

YESSSS IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS

I’ll be continuing to play through:

Disco Elysium for the first time.

Skyrim for the millionth time hahaha.

I’m at work the whole weekend but I’m hoping to squeeze a bit of time for Skyrim!

And as far as not on the Switch, Transformers PS, The Simpsons Game and Road Trip Adventure I hope!

@h3s oh right I didn’t know that! It’s such a pain when batteries leak so that sounds like a good shout

@h3s I may be wrong on this but I think that leaving anything with batteries unused for a while makes battery leak worse?

Europe but that’s perhaps because I own it and have always been partial to the box design haha

I’m definitely intrigued by this! I very specifically love the pinball mini game in Kirby mass attack and have played more hours in that mini game than the rest of the game hahaha

Good luck Zion on what awaits you next!!

I’ve just bought Hades 2 five minutes ago! Waiting for it to download now

I’m at work 🥲 and it starts just as my break ends lol. Oh well, I’ll be able to watch it in the evening on Friday. What a way to start the weekend!

They look so cute! £80 is quite high but I’m not sure how much normal crocs go for.

@JohnnyMind Awesome, thanks man!

@Alpha008 that’s what I’m wondering too 🤔

Interesting and very well written! I do love conventions but I struggle with really busy ones so this probably isn’t for me and also perhaps my gaming habits are A LOT of Nintendo and not toooo much else.

I definitely will try this out! Cuz I can’t decide whether I will buy it or not.

Am I the only one who finds his Tweet quite funny? 😂 Though I’m not a Hollow Knight fan so maybe that’s why.

Hope there’s good news for all you HK fans though! I have the game but I think I’m too bad to progress that far haha, I’ll get round to playing it…. Eventually

I’m interested in the game but I’ve never played the original so I think that this Direct is a good thing for me as it’ll help me to figure out if I wanna buy it or not (and reviews once it’s out).

Also as everyone else is saying: 45 minutes?? Holy cow!

Seems like a game I would love in a Wii Play type of compilation but I doubt I’ll buy the game myself. It was fun when I tried it out but I don’t think I’m best fussed on the controls. I commend Nintendo for doing something so unique though!

@AJWolfTill yup I really would love to get a Hades 2 release date in this direct! I’ve been avoiding hearing what people say as I wanna go in blind but my sister said (in her opinions) it’s even better than the first!

I own the first one of the game. I’ve tried playing it through a few times but it tends to feel like I’m forcing myself to play it (which is strange!). I wonder if the improvements in the remake would interest me? I don’t see myself buying it at launch though but I will be looking at reviews.

I wonder if someone will be able to combine this with a real Gameboy’s internals so that they make it functional? Actually, it might be easier for them to start from scratch with their own Lego bricks, rather than a set perhaps.

The shoes look pretty neat but luckily I was never gonna buy a pair of shoes that expensive anytime soon so the low numbers and exclusivity don’t bother me

@Maxz hahaha that’s hilarious.

@NolandC You might be on the wrong site 😂 haha only joking

@Dpullam Yes, I’ve been finding that the game really sucks you in! I’ll play it for a bit, then put it down to do another hobby or hang out with family and I’ll get sooo excited for the next time I can pick it up again. I showed it to my dad and he played it for a couple minutes and was having a blast.

@YoshiTails yeah it is a bit strange! I don’t wanna say too much but I am enjoying it though it’s a lot to take in. Curious what this will end up being.

LOL yesterday I was talking to my brother about how I don’t think the rumour was true. Shows what I know! Anyways I’m looking forward to the direct, curious to see what else is coming (maybe a GTA V port?)

Hope his family is okay. He was too young but left an amazing legacy regardless

I’m hoping to get some switch 2 buddies and play some splatoon or mario kart on game chat! That’s what I look forward to

As others have said, I was hoping for a larger, less specialised Direct but after the Splatoon news I realised that was unlikely! But oh well, news is news! I’m very excited for more DK!

I love all 3 but I had to go with NA as I love the colour scheme!

It doesn’t work on my phone :/ I would use it maybe a couple times a week though perhaps? If I could.

I’m not buying one for the meantime as I’ll see how I fare once I have the NS2. I’ll almost definitely eventually buy one though! The question is how soon.

11 wants and 8 maybes! The difficulty for me right now is trying to secure a pre order (in the UK)

I was really surprised it’s paid. Not too sure who the paying audience is? I’ll see when it comes out
