Re: Soapbox: Switch Really Needs Third-Party Profile Icons - Here Are Our Top Picks

ibookboyuk

I said yes but only the biggest, most recognisable, and then regretted my decision when everyone picked the more the merrier one. 😊

Gosh. This is interesting. I can see how people would love to see their loved third party icons and I can see Nintendo wanting to keep it to Nintendo first party icons only.

I bet they open it up to third party icons. I’m thinking like Smash Brothers and all the characters added there.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st August)

Rush Rally 3 this weekend. I had just opened up all the courses in Rush Rally Origins and was inspired to get Rush Rally 3 where you can change the view back and forth from helicopter chase view to true 3D rallying. SO fun.

And I collected a few more flowers in Yoshi’s Crafted World. I only need about ten more now.

Re: Nintendo Reminds Us It's Not Ready To Announce The "Switch Successor"

ibookboyuk

It’s probably better for Nintendo to officially announce the timeframe of the Switch successor because developers might already be working on games and if they leak that they are working on a game for it we shrug our shoulders because already know it is going to be announced.

I do think they are totally right to remind people that the Switch successor is not going to be in shops by the end of March 2025

Re: N64 Platformer 'Glover' Returns As A Physical Switch Release

ibookboyuk

No. WAY. That’s so cool. It feels like I’ve been waiting forever for this. I missed it on N64.

I’m trying to think now but after Glover I think it’s only Chibi Robo from the GameCube I’m waiting for on Switch now and apparently a Chibi Robo successor is getting a Switch release soon.

Re: Surprise! DOOM + DOOM II Get Newly Enhanced Release On Switch eShop

ibookboyuk

Why do they keep releasing Doom? Because it’s SO MUCH FUN! I’ve just had a blast playing these two again.

Quick side note. In these two new Switch versions B is Use. In the older versions A is Use. This actually means it’s much easier to play the game but you have to use B to accept in the menus instead of A which is confusing.

I’m guessing they did this so in cross-platform multiplayer everyone has the same controls.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Borderlands Movie Are In

ibookboyuk

This could have been so bad but actually the trailer looks really good.

It’s a bit of a sign where actors like Kate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis and Jack Black do a film like this. Often it’s a sign they are putting their seal of approval on it and it’s not just cheese.

I also really like Kevin Hart in films.

Edit. reads the reviews in the article Oh.

I’ll still watch it. I like the actors and I like Guardians 2 and that’s cheese.

Re: Shadow Of The Ninja - Reborn Is Getting A Demo On Switch

ibookboyuk

I got a U.K. demo at 7pm today and oh what a game. You owe it to yourself to play it. I love it. I connected with it straight away.

I loaded up the NES Nintendo Switch Online version first and thought it was okay but I prefer SNES games to NES and that’s the upgrade that this felt like: Shadow Of The Ninja - Reborn feels like an SNES game.

I’ll buy it this month because I want to support really good game developers.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

ibookboyuk

@Mortenb Very clever. I like that a lot.

It’s a shame it’s a Zelda game and needs to not be complicated by a name change but it might have been nice. I wonder if anyone at Nintendo thought of it?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th July)

ibookboyuk

I’m playing Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition but in the short term the short levels are testing my patience so I’ll play for a few minutes and then leave. Long term it is going to be a delight all these games are grouped in one place and it really goes feel like I am training to be a world champion.

Also the same for Super Mario Odyssey. Playing for a bit and then leaving has been fun.

Re: SCHiM

ibookboyuk

Looks great. I’ll get it as soon as I can. It caught my eye in the indie demo and it’s exactly the kind of chill game I like.

Re: Review: SCHiM (Switch) - A Chill, Shadow-Hopping Platformer That Prioritises Aesthetics

ibookboyuk

I’m really interested in this game. I’ll get it as soon as I can.

I really like Ovivo on Switch. In that you press A to toggle black or white and traverse the area. Schim is very similar but instead of toggling you jump from shadow to shadow.

Ovivo still has a free demo if you want to play a similar game with similarly good music while you’re waiting for Schim to get a bigger sale.
