I first played this game on Switch (& I love it), have put over 1000 hours into it, & still haven't beaten it. I probably started over 3 or 4 times just because I wanted to do things differently, but eventually I moved on to other games. I tried to get into it again a few months ago, but I ended up tackling some of my backlog, instead.
I got pretty far in this game, then kept losing at one of the boss battles (or mini boss? Don't really remember if there are mini bosses). I recall the combat started to get a little too repetitive. Or was it too frequent? Not sure. It's been quite some time since I played it last. At any rate, I think I started to get a little bored of it, but this may be the incentive I need to continue once I finish The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics.
@abbyhitter Me, too! I watched a video of the full battle with the final boss and gave up after a few tries. I'll get back to trying to beat it some day, but I'm not in any hurry.
I've always found Treehouse presentations boring & way too long. After seeing portions of the first few presentations that they've done, I quit watching them altogether.
I first played Earthbound on Wii U VC. It has some charm & is quite funny, but it got boring after playing it for a few days. I eventually moved on to other games.
I was so excited for Chrono Cross & bought it when it first released but, other than the graphics & music, was disappointed with it. I ended up trading it in a couple of weeks later. I just couldn't get into it. I'm willing to give it another try, though.
I'll pick it up at some point. I love me some plane games on Switch, even though I haven't finished a single one. In fact, most are still in my backlog.
In my high-school/community college years, I owned the SNES version of Aladdin. I would get so mad at it when I kept dying repeatedly. Eventually, though, with enough perseverance I finally got really good at it & would breeze through it every time I played it.
I haven't played either of the two NES Metal Gear games since I had an NES back in middle school/high school. I sure wish they'd make their way back to a Nintendo console some day.
I took a break from BG2: Throne of Bhaal & Pillars of Eternity to play through both Axiom Verge 2 & Ori & the Will of the Wisps (which I finished a couple of days ago). Now I'm working through Jenny LeClue Detectivù.
My twin brother & I got an NES for Christmas 1987 when I was 12. Along with SMB/Duck Hunt, we also got Wizards & Warriors. Took us all day to realize how to progress past the first level (i.e. go up, instead of left/right). Seems like we got one other game that day, too, but I can't remember.
I'm not that into first person perspective games (with the notable exception of the Metroid Prime series). I prefer playing Skyrim in the 3rd person perspective.
I kept dying at the 3rd boss in Alwa's Awakening, so eventually moved on to other games. But I recently have been telling myself that I need to get back into it. But I'm working my way through Titan Quest right now, which seems like a pretty lengthy adventure, so it might be a while before I continue Alwa's Awakening.
I got Robonauts a while back when it was heavily discounted but I have no interest in any of those other games, even if they are free, so I'm gonna pass.
I wonder why Capcom never puts Ultra Street Fighter 2 on sale any more. Every time they have a sale it's never included. I think it's been on sale twice since it released (in North America).
I enjoyed this on Wii U, but it was just called Factotum on that platform. Is Factotum 90 the same game? The screen shots are definitely not green like the Wii U version is.

Re: PSA: Are Your Switch Games Disappearing? You May Have Too Many - But You Can Fix It
On Switch I have between 400 - 500 downloads (no demos).
Re: PSA: Are Your Switch Games Disappearing? You May Have Too Many - But You Can Fix It
I ran into that issue on the Wii U (I don't buy physical), but it only allowed a few hundred (not sure of the exact number).
Re: Cuphead Version 1.3.3 Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I downloaded this game not realizing that it's just a boss rush type of game. So because of that, I lost interest.

Re: Community: What Was Your First Ever Nintendo Game?

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th July (North America)
I'll be getting Blaster Master Zero 3, although I still haven't played the 2nd one yet. It's been in my backlog since launch.

Re: Switch Is Getting An All-New Wonder Boy Game In 2021
I thoroughly enjoyed & 100%ed Monster Boy, but I got stuck in Wonder Boy on Switch, & haven't ever gone back to it.

Re: Rumour: Is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Taking To The Skies On Nintendo Switch?
Skyward Sword is a mediocre game — nothing great. But I'd still get it on Switch just because I like the Zelda franchise.
Re: Earthlock 2 Might Not Make It To Nintendo Switch, It Seems
I made it to the final boss, iirc, & kept getting defeated, so I ended up moving on to other games. I should probably get back to it some day.
Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con, As Well As Your Nintendo Switch
That controller update was live at least a day or two before the system update. Because that's when I updated them (I think it was the day before).

@rjejr Nintendo Life has mentioned it once or twice before today.

Re: Space Robot Puzzler Factotum 90 Crash Lands On Switch Later This Month
