After The Knight Witch, a twin-stick-metroidvania-shooter, I now have Minishoot‘ Adventures, a twin-stick-Zelda-like-shooter. My life is complete!

Resident Evil 9 … eventually, and most likely rather around fall. Winter's been too long, I need something more upbeat and colorful now. 😝

Maybe I‘ll bite, as the base game is on sale for only 7 € (S2) right now …

Some people generating outrage = traffic = revenue on socials over an (almost) non-issue and people falling for it left and right. Brave New World.

Great news! Already played the main game, so I'll be getting this next week for sure.

Really liked the first one! But still don‘t know about setting those fluffy little critters on fire … 🔥💀

After a couple of hours with it, I strongly believe this is now the very best version of the game to play!

@Genichiro That's exactly what drew me into Silksong and finally into Hollow Knight as well. Just the feel of the movement and gameplay (tactile, precise and "crunchy") combined with a weighty sense of craftmanship and dense atmosphere. Silksong was the only game I played for two whole months. Enjoy!

Played through this on Switch 2 (in handheld) before the upgrade. The bump in resolution alone makes a massive difference. This looks so much better. 120fps is also nice and the added effects contribute to the atmosphere. I‘m not entirely shure, but it felt like the HD-Rumble was improved too …

The original Paranormasight in on sale right now (EU) for it's lowest ever price: 4,99 €. I guess I'll finally pick it up.

@OmegaX83 No, but it dropped just a couple of minutes ago on the EU eShop.

Downloading the base game to my Switch 2 right now!

The humor bit about ChromaGun 2 has me a little worried … was really looking forward to it. Let's see how it reviews then. But putting a more positive spin on it, maybe it's just money saved for something that will be announced later today.

@Kiz3000 "Now if Moon Studios want to give us Switch 2 editions of the Ori games, then I am very much up for that." That would be Christmas in February!

Played through Hollow Knight's main campaign only recently while being a bit stuck during Silksong's Act 3. Found the experience quite breezy (but no less enjoyable) in comparison. And that after bouncing off it hard a year prior. Guess the sequel toughened me up a bit … 😆 Would love to get started on the post-game content now with the new Switch 2 edition. Let's hope for an announcement later today!

The original game is so good that I will happily upgrade it to a fully fledged Switch 2 version, even if it is for 20 € that could buy a new indie title. The multiplayer modes might even be fun with friends and family once every second full moon or so …

Is it 120fps? Not much interested in the multiplayer elements, but would love to replay the main game on Switch 2 with all the shiny bells and whistles.

@sketchturner And Bowser is trying to give Mario a hearty spank … 😆

Japan and it‘s not even close. Great composition.

Much prefer the understated look of the originals over these … but nice for everyone looking for some good old Switch 1 retro nostalgia.

Whenever I read the name "Call of Duty" I'd love to petition a new rating label: Immature.

Second helpings of Metroid Prime 4 (hard mode and going for 100%) and Silksong (after finishing Act 3 a few days before Christmas), sprinkling in a couple of sessions of Skate Story.
Happy New Gaming Year everyone!

@gamepadnomad Did they kick you out for complaining too much or why do you miss the "Steam Ecosystem"!? 😆

This sale is completely bonkers! All the best games and so so many for the lowest price ever …

@topsekret "since it's on a Game-Key Card" That does not make any sense. 😉✌️

Anyways, never played a Final Fantasy game. So the demo might be my chance to finally find out what all the fuss is about.

@Phelaidar The port, despite some visual downgrades, runs incredibly well on Switch 2 with locked 60 fps and not a single hitch during my playthrough. I paid a bargain bin price (16 €) at launch and don‘t game on other systems. There were comparison videos already pretty close to launch and reviews as well. People can make informed decisions on how to spend their money themselves without your blessings, no need to call them stupid. Just sayin‘, but running around and commenting on how smart (or not) others supposedly are usually points to some insecurities the person making these comments has regarding their own mental faculties. 😉

"Reductive comments like this are why companies try and get away with subpar ports."
@Duncanballs See, it‘s all your fault! 😆

Metroid Prime 4, now in Hard Mode and aiming for 100% of scans. Also some more of the totally amazing Skate Story.

Happy Gaming!

@Olliemar28 Alright got it, thanks! Have only been watching the trailers and wondered how little actual gameplay they sometimes show … But if they're still looking for talent, maybe they should include a message like "Now hiring!" in their trailer. 😉

The trailer really showed nothing of substance … therefore a big shrug from me. What's up with many of the triple AAA trailers anyways? Are the games themselves so bad that they will only show cinematics and no real gameplay footage?

@GrailUK "Oh, what was up with it?" I can only guess here, but most likely it angered the woke police …

Trailer looks cool, nice art style, I'll keep it on my watchlist. I like that they bring something original instead of some duty call or rehash of the past.

Really enjoyed the first one! Animal sacrifice though, I don't know. You want to pet every animal … but instead burn that little fluff up and leave its friends behind the flames?

Hypercapitalist AAA slop peddler meets toxic fandom … they deserve each other. May CoD forever rest in development limbo. They cannot do innovation and now they have to find other ways of printing money. Bring their back catalog to Nintendo? Nah, keep it.

Here's a glowing review on Switchcorner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R4yWGDDq4U
Also addressing and actually measuring the framerates.

Played through the intro and really looking forward to giving this game my full attention … after beating the final boss in Prime 4 that is.

Why does anyone here entertain anything Bootlicker333 writes? Account created 7 hrs ago and captioned "Ban me if you hate criticism". 😆 Just a troll regurgitating catch phrases.

About 15 hrs in and almost ready for the Endgame. Solid 9/10 game overall. Art direction, sound and overall atmosphere 10/10. Gameplay design / progression flow 8/10.

Had this on my whishlist ever since it was announced on here … and now an 8/10 seals the deal, downloading right now. Just finishing up Prime 4 and then I‘m gonna skate the underworld! Christmas keeps coming early this December …

But what does it matter? You posted elsewhere "MP4 looks like a mobile game". So you seem to be quite the expert and I should absolutely take your opinion into consideration when rating the game for myself. Have fun owning and returning.

@scoobdoo Have you played it?

@HalBailman There is this eerie soundscape, can't really call it music, that is playing when crossing the desert. I like it a lot. The only use case for overlaying that with music would be an hour long grind to gather crystals. So I'd consider it cosmetic. And people getting into a fit over it … @scoobdoo And if you collect them like a sane person, you won't do it all in one go. Who is this BarararaKing anyways, your ruler or something?

Instead of breaking up such business structures … another market regulation failure if this goes through.

Compare the voting results above to the comments down here to appreciate what the Switch 2 suffers from since launch … just sayin'.

My "Nintendo Life" happens almost exclusively (with some exceptions like Ring Fit) on Switch 2 now. 9.5/10

@wishmylove And where are the high quality comments these days? I read more and more of the same …

And it seems more and more game scores reflect the need of "content creators" to engage certain narratives for farming clicks and engagement, instead of objectively looking at the games themselves.

The quality on display in this game is off the charts.

So thank you, I think you're on the cutting edge of the interwebs. Please enjoy yourself, you fit right in.

I'll return to the game now …

@LazyDaisy Agree, a lot of the gameplay in Prime Remastered felt rather dated and I suspect the scores of the original, the status of the game as being a landmark title as well as a cult classic, but also a heavy dose of rose tinted nostalgia went into that rating.
Prime 4 now had this clickbait snowball crashing into it beforehand as well as people expecting a complete rehash and total genre fealty.

I'm about six hours in and imo it deserves to be nowhere new as low as it is on this list. Just one point above the pinball game!? Come off it … Also, Dread on 7? Please …

Great showcase! Best of the trailers yet, I‘d say.

What the trailer does not include

• you can mute NPCs
• it‘s got plenty of isolation
• lenghtwise it‘s in line with Dread/Prime 1

Still though, deserts being deserts that one is pretty empty. 😉 But it‘s quickly crossed.

Hope everyone‘s copy soon arrives. Have fun!

@MJF Even better we now have Dread AND Prime 4.

@Simu001 There is an option slider for Speech Volume in the game's menu. Just turn it down to 0% in Miles is quiet.

@Simu001 You can mute NPCs and the subtitles are visually so unobtrusive you can simply ignore them. Problem solved.

Been playing for a couple of hours now and I'd say NLs review is bang on, Eurogamer's is bang off. It's prime Prime!

Posting here as well, even if I don't know if you want to cross the Doom Slayer or anything, but: You can adjust Speech Volume and thereby mute the NPCs.

And now that that's sorted, go have fun with the game! Just started playing, it's gorgeous (I'd say best art direction in a game since Ori and the Will of the Wisps), has amazing sound design and so far plays absolutely fantastic.

To ease some peoples' fears of this game: You can adjust Speech Volume and thereby mute NPCs – including Miles Moranis. Subtitles are completely unobtrusive.

Thanks for the warning! Played a bit before bed last night and wow, that game is gorgeous! Stellar art direction, fantastic music, trippy sci-fi vibes, that vista over the desert … now on into the Jungle. Sorry for gushing.
