Coming to this weeks late, but I didn't see anybody say it, so I'm gonna.

More like Bank of Imitation, amirite?

The only bug I encountered on my complete playthrough on 1.0.1 was when beating the underwater boss, my rumble on my joy-cons got stuck on. I saved, quit to menu, reloaded game, and it came back on non-stop rumbling again, so I rebooted and it was gone thankfully.

@Smug43 sounds awesome, new rating 11/10

"There's a dedicated button for petting the dog" - sold.

Tho I was already sold because I loved GRIS.

Dan Le Sac makes great music - and a closely-kept trade secret is that his name translates to Dan The Scrotum.

I like that the negative answer to the final question is "no, not yet" - because you're confident enough that everyone is going to try it eventually.

Huh, Flashback 2 is actually releasing then? Hadn't heard about the Switch version in forever. I tried to find out if the PC version had reached a significantly better state than it released in, not sure I got a solid answer tbh.

Dating objects: silly but whatever.
Dating pets: ew, gross, ban this sick filth.

No to Ganondorf - I demand that we get to play as Piggy Ganon 🐷

Bring back GTA 1 & 2!

Haven't watched any of the Sonic movies yet, but Junkie XL brings back some good memories 🎵

Each to their own, play how you enjoy, use the helper features if you want to.

I generally don't want to, there are exceptions but with the Metroid series I choose to challenge myself to beat it like the original experience. I haven't yet played through the original NES and Game Boy games, but when I do I'll do my best to clear them without aids.

Zero Mission I played through on the 3DS, so without emulation niceties. It was quite a while ago, but I seem to remember finding the Mother Brain fight frustrating and challenging, but kept at it and felt a lot of satisfaction from beating it. I don't think I did 100% items back then, plus it's a great game, so I'm intending to play it again at some point - this time on my GBA fitted with a lit ITA screen (taken from a DSi), so again no emulation perks.

@Yoshi3 "Time to release another racer Nintendo. I don’t know, maybe one with an F." - Oh hell yeah, bring back F1 Race!

Eh, neither are doing it for me tbh

@Eel I'm holding out hope for an official Famicom demake

They're clearly obsessed with octopuses.

I respect that.

Wonder if there's any Compile staff who worked on Guru Logic Champ? One of the best puzzle games on GBA.

"certain feature" = joy-cons as nunchucks?

@N64-ROX for my first playthrough, on 3DS, it took me ~3 hours and ~100 deaths to do everything else, then another ~3 hours and ~100 deaths to do veni vidi vici 🤣😭

@N64-ROX veni vidi vici on touch screen? That's impressive!

I don't "Gotta go fast", I "Gotta systematically explore every nook and cranny so I don't miss anything". I like to try and 100%, and feel some frustration when I can't, I feel it's a shame when a game I really enjoyed has achievements that are way beyond my capability (finish VVVVVV without dying once etc). I like puzzle games, I don't like looking up solutions for stuff and would rather try and figure it out myself even if it takes forever, and therefore have a whole bunch of games that I want to finish but am stuck on. Am interested tho to see if I could change that for something like Animal Well where the dev's intention is for people to collaborate online.

I don't do spreadsheets/written records to track my gaming, but I do get nerdy about working my way through certain series etc (currently playing through all the Zeldas, have an ongoing mission to get through all the Metroids etc).

I got myself a couple of small things and the Zelda Picross 3DS game from Club Nintendo, but when it was reaching its end, some very generous fellow member of another gaming site offered to use their accumulated points to get rewards for people. They got me a really nice soft grey pouch for my N3DS, it still lives in it. People can be great.

Back in my day, "Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters" was considered an hilariously long name for a video game 👴

*elicit

ACAB includes Paw Patrol

Very cool, but now make a jumbo one that you can run around in yourself.

He's an icon, no doubt. Not retro yet tho. Another 5 or 10 years, I don't know which, will have to see how I feel at the time. Safe to say, retro = subjective.

I had a lot of fun with this game, then stopped most of the way through, then came back to it later, had more fun, but couldn't get past the boss rush. Was frustrating to get stuck so near the end. May have to give it another go one day.

Aren't Microids known for absolutely ruining games? I hope the other studio involved can stop them from doing the same with this one.

@InTree the zero suit is what they call "fan service". It was designed for horny.

@BenAV maybe they're waiting for me to actually start it?

Hm time travel would be an interesting gimmick if those theories are right - another way to meet more Chozo?

@Rooty damn sorry to hear about your battery. My v1 Switch has been mostly plugged in for years, battery still fine.

I hope there's a Zelda one for this game, I'm feeling hyped for the game's style right now (and I'm still in the midst of my Zelda series binge). Would also be a more affordable keepsake to get than that dang gold Switch Lite.

@JohnnyMind great just what I need, thanks!

Annoyingly tempting. If I were gonna get another Switch it would be an OLED. But still, annoyingly tempting.

Already played it (on my Switch via remote play lol) but nice to see a port, can greatly recommend this game if you haven't played it already.

Four Swords online play is interesting - can someone please confirm that you can play with your friends rather than randoms?

@Ninfan no, original MP4 got killed before anything was shown to the public, because Nintendo deemed it not good enough to be seen by anyone I guess...

Is it nearly 2025 yet?

Is it nearly September yet?

Am waiting to play this until marc max finishes his unofficial colourisation patch

Oh it's Ashly Burch, she's great in Mythic Quest (hilarious show, especially for gamers), so I don't doubt she can pull off a funny version of the character. Haven't played the main Horizon games yet but I might try this, I haven't played the main Lego games either so idk if I'll be into the building and stuff, but looks fun generally.

Reprint the squishy Metroid or jog on.

Actually could do with a gravity suit Samus too, purple suit best suit.

The only ones I own are a green yarn Yoshi (bought right before the jumbo version came out, typical) and Chibi Robo.

Lego Halo Adventures coming soon to Nintendo Switch

vvvvvv gameplay and a cool creepy aesthetic, I'm in.

@malamiteltd urgh you're right, apparently it's a trademark thing. Silly.

Moonstone on the Amiga was a great game. This looks... entirely dissimilar tbh, but also good.

The word is Tetromino 🧐

Cue basement dwellers complaining that the Lego figure isn't hot enough
