Still playing Brothership, currently on Lottsacoins Island. Honestly, this might be my favorite area so far. I love the theme of the place, and it actually has decent puzzles.
Okay, so in Monster Hunter Rise, I hunted Thunder Serpent Narwa, really fun, creative boss, so now it seems like I need to grind quests until I reach hr 50 to fight the true final boss. I... might need to take a step back with Rise, and do a little more Brothership, or even boot up Phantom Hourglass again (which I 100% intend on doing this year, I'm determined to finish this game for some reason). Still want to continue to some degree, but I might need a little break. We'll see
I could see Nintendo doing a direct. Metroid Prime 4 (as well as 2 and 3), Kirby Planet Robobot (or something else), a gamecube remaster (Chibi-robo or F-zero GX), third-party support (stuff from Capcom, Level-5, etc.), and a smaller game surprise (new Rhythm Heaven, Chibi-robo, etc.). If nothing else, a direct mini or at least a partner showcase. The next Indie World might still happen in March or something.
I'm ready for Capcom to at least announce a Mega Man Legends Collection. I'll also take Mega Man 12 or a something else new, but a Legends Collection would really do it for me.
....Buuut it's not gonna happen here, so in a Nintendo Direct would be nice.
This weekend I'll be playing more Monster Hunter Rise. About to start 6 stars high rank hub quests. I also have Mario and Luigi Brothership to play.
Next week, I think I'll be taking a break from gaming and entertainment. So if the Switch 2 is announced or we have a direct, I probably won't be there for the initial hype.
I've also unlocked high rank in Monster Hunter Rise this week, and I still want to play more. However, I got Mario and Luigi Brothership for Christmas, so I'll probably be playing that when I can!
Next week, I'll be going to a Youth conference, so hopefully I'll do some good shopping then! Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! It's gonna be a big one, I can feel it.
Although I should be playing more Phantom Hourglass, this weekend will probably be more Monster Hunter Rise for me when I can play. It's just really fun. Other than that, it's mostly just errands and other things before the holidays. Honestly, I'm pretty excited for Christmas! Looking forward to a good day off at least.
Happy weekend, and happy holidays! Pray that I get a ps3 slim and/or Oneshot World Machine Edition (Collectors Edition) on Switch. God bless.
1. Pikmin 4: 46 hours. Man, 100%ing that game is long. Really fun and casual, tho, so I don't mind too much (some of the mission completing was a little annoying).
2. Mario RPG: 22 hours. The Godfather of Mario RPGs, surprised I actually got around to playing this one. Really good.
3. Kirby and the Forgotten Land: 17 hours: Incredible game, might actually be my second favorite game I played this year (or TTYD, Oneshot World Machine Edition is number one). Still would like to 100%, but this game was a casual playthrough, so not sure when or if I'll get to it.
Okay, so this week I was on a Monster Hunter kick, so I booted up my old Monster Hunter Rise save data. And after 6-7 hours of playing, I actually beat the game! It's amazing, actually, despite being filled with lots of deep and complex mechanics, the game is completely accessible to people who want to play the game with the basic armors, weapons, etc, without fancy effects. Great game.
Now with that said, I'll either be playing more Rise and hunt more monsters, or go back to my playthrough of Zelda Phantom Hourglass (need to go back to the Temple of the Ocean King to find the other 2 sea charts). Maybe a bit of both? Anyway, happy weekend everyone!
P.S. figured there was going to be a proper (console) Sonic spin-off for the next major 2025 Sonic release (Sonic Racing CrossWorlds). Hope it's good! TSR was really fun, but it was considered a little underwhelming.
Metroid Prime 4 and/or Prime 2 and 3 Remastered would be so perfect given the rumors of the 2018 all those years ago. But, you can never really tell or know.
I don't follow the show too much. There might be a thing or two for me in there. Something Sonic or Mega Man (not happening) or even the old Transformers games at this point.
In the end, I feel like this Games Awards has the potential to be either surprisely good given that I think 2025 will be a big year to some degree, or absolutely terrible given the current state of the game industry. It might be interesting to see either way.
My main game right now is Zelda Phantom Hourglass. I don't think I've ever seen a DS game use it's accessories so much. It's fun, if maybe a little simple so far. Also still on Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. Kinda burnt out on Shadow Generations, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land was a casual playthrough, so maybe 100%ing will come later. Have a good weekend!
Last year's 2023 GOTY for me was Gravity Circuit, a really fun Mega Man (Zero) clone. My actually favorite game I played that year was Pikmin 2 through Wii U Virtual Console.
My 2024 GOTY will probably end up being Sonic x Shadow Generations, though I played it on Series S. Not only does it have a good version of one of the best, cleanest Sonic games, it came with a great new game/expansion. Might be better than Sonic Frontiers (my 2022 GOTY), tho I'm still wanting to say I like that game more as a whole personally. Definitely liked it better than Superstars (which was still a fine game). Gave it a 8 for switch cause of weaker performance, but I might give it a 9 otherwise.
...Buuuut, my favorite game I've played this year will most certainly be Oneshot World Machine Edition on Switch. One of the most, if not, THE most incredible game experience I've ever had. Like, I'm pretty sure that game made me lose my appetite for a week. That's how incredible and surreal the game was (and I've played Majora's Mask). Definitely in my top 10 or 5 favorite games ever.
Will say more about my other 2024 favorites and others at some point later in the year or at the beginning of the next.
Whew! Busy week! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I was able to have dinner with my Mom's side on Monday, had a nice day off and dinner with my intermediate family on Thursday, and I snagged a few things yesterday.
When I can, I'll probably be playing Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Shadow Generations. Just beat Forgotten Land this week, so it's extra stuff and post-game for me, and I STILL need to 100% Shadow Generations (although I'm kinda burnt-out at this point). I also got Zelda Phantom Hourglass and Hey! Pikmin yesterday, and I might start them soon. Have a good weekend!
@Scottdevine53 A Sonic Adventure remake/remaster (if done right) would be great, a 06 port for laughs would be fine, Heroes NEEDS a good remake (it's my least favorite Sonic game), and a Unleashed remaster similar to SxSG would be fine, BUT the original voice cast and acting is fine. Don't remove the original acting, it would be really disrespectful to Jason Griffith. Perfectly fine Sonic and Shadow that went through too many bad Sonic games.
@Anti-Matter I love you man. Glad you like those smaller games.
@Richardthedragon The original SA had it's moments, didn't it? A little flawed by today's standards, but it can be fun. Need to replay one day.
@CaleBoi25 If I had to pick one... Mega Man Legends 3 would be great. To end the Legends sub-series, at least. I wouldn't want Mega Man as a whole to end (if anyone makes a comment on how Mega Man's already dead, I'll teleport to your house, destroy you, then steal your power). Edit: oh, only a Nintendo series. Well in that case... don't know. All I know is that we need Legends 3.
This has been a real meaty week. Lots has happened, out there and personally. But never mind that. This weekend, when and if I can, I'll be playing my chunk of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Sonic x Shadow Generations, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Every time I boot up Forgotten Land, I'm just reminding how amazing this game is.
Next week will be a big one. Have a good weekend, and happy Thanksgiving!
Beat Shadow Generations on Sunday, and Partners in Time on Wednesday.
Shadow Generations was a very nice, fun Sonic game. Maybe not the craziest, most exciting experience, but a nice one.
Partners in Time was also fun, and honestly the oddest Mario and Luigi experience. Still good, tho. And with that done, I've beaten ALL the Mario RPGs (excluding the M&L and TTYD remakes and the original Mario RPG) pre-Brothership. Still going to wait another minute before I play it, but now I'm ready! Hope I like it.
This weekend, when I can, I'll be working on 100%ing Shadow Generations (which is surprisingly meaty) and playing bits on Team Kirby Clash Deluxe (as usual). Maybe, just maybe, I'll boot up Kirby and the Forgotten Land, but it's honestly unlikely. We'll see.
Played MP2 on Prime Trilogy with my Wii U last year. Really good game. Almost made number 5 on my top 5 favorite games I played that year (got beat by Gravity Circuit, the Megaman in me demanded it). It better get remastered, probably will double-dip soon-ish if/when it does.
You forgot to talk about the short-lived Archie comics, those were seriously funny. The show is honestly my favorite Sonic show. "Don’t Judge Me" is my favorite episode. As for the games, Rise of Lyric isn't really that bad gameplay wise (the update certainly helped that), but it's still technically weak. Shattered Crystal is pretty meh, had some good ideas, but not very great. Fire and Ice is honestly the most "fine" Sonic game ever. Pretty good, but not really worth recommending.
Still on Shadow Generations, near the end of the main campaign. Still going for 100%, tho. A little Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, as usual. And I'm still working on Partners in Time (forgot to put that in the poll, whoops!). Need to beat that before Brothership. Have a good weekend!
Edit: forgot to say how nice it is that Switch 2 will be backwards compatible! Hope that also means enhancements too! Plz Sonic Frontiers, plz Sonic Frontiers, plz Sonic Frontiers.
Definitively going to get it at some point. Still need to finish Partners in Time, and I'm playing Shadow Generations right now. Will probably play before end of year, tho.
Wow. This week has been... crazy. First, Nintendo announces Xenoblade X out of the blue like it's 2020. Then, on the same day, Sony announced they're canceling Concord and axeing the team with something else. And then, Nintendo Music happened. Just... wow.
This weekend, when I can, I'll be playing Sonic x Shadow Generations on Series S. Beat Sonic Generations, still a great game, and started Shadow Generations, which is... pretty good, actually. Can't wait to 100%. Also will probably play more Partners in Time and Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. Man, Mario and Luigi Brothership is next week, but I don't think I'll be playing that until Black Friday. We'll see. Have a good weekend!
P.S. Ethan Zack, if you're seeing this, play Sonic Mania! That game's great and pretty easy to get into.
I love video game soundtrack players in the game, especially on Switch (ds and 3ds too)! I've used that type of thing for car rides and casual listening many times, and Smash Ultimate is a good one. I even have a whole group about it on my Switch. I've used the D.A. Garden in Sonic Mania and the soundtrack players in the Mega Man Legacy Collection (especially X and Zero/ZX) a lot.
Personally, I think the ability to listen to the game OST is a feature every game should have. Even when the soundtrack isn't that great, it's nice to go through a soundtrack to appreciate it and find some really good tracks.
Time will be limited, but when I can, I want to play Sonic x Shadow Generations on my Xbox Series S. Started Sonic Generations, it's fine so far. Runs and looks real nice. Will also play Partners in Time when I can and when the TV'S taken. Also, a little touch of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for some gem apples and exp is probably in the plans.
In other areas, I watched Transformers One last night. And by that I mean I was up till 2 watching it. And... I think it hit something in me. Must've been "The Fall" scene. Anyhow, have a good weekend! God bless!
I'll probably pre-order on Xbox digitally through my Series S before Friday. Want to play it, get my own opinion on it without too many reviews and other opinions (although I've gotten a tiny taste of them), and experience it in the finest form I can. Which is why I'm skipping switch this time. Probably won't be bad, but probably not the best way to play either.
Thing is, I want to play Shadow Generations ASAP, but it feels more proper to play it's version of Sonic Generations first, even tho I've already played Sonic Gens many times through 360. That game's been with me for many years, and is one of my favorite Sonic games. Hopefully this version will hold up.
This week, I watched The Wild Robot. Pretty good, really good-looking film. I also watched a bunch of bits of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish that I didn't see the first time I watched it. Don't know if I would ENTIRELY recommend it... but I have to admit, it's pretty cool. Any scene with Death in it is awesome.
This weekend when I can, I got Partners in Time, a little Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, MAYBE Kirby and the Forgotten Land(?), and A Little to the Left on Game Pass.
Next week, I should be watching Transformers One on streaming, and I think I'll be getting Sonic x Shadow Generations on Xbox Series S. Have a good weekend!
I would like to get and play it at some point. I really liked Super Mario Party. Things is, I don't play multiplayer games that much outside of friend get-togethers.
THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR!!!! THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR IS REAL!!!!
...sorry, not an One Piece, but I had to say it. Just wanted to say I beat the game last night! Really loved it! Chapter 6 is my favorite, and that's mostly because I actually took a 2 day train ride earlier this year. Will it be my favorite Paper Mario, or Mario rpg?... hard to say, I love Origami King, Inside Story, and Dream Team a lot.
Well, now I'm working on Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Partners in Time, a little Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and MAYBE I'll do a little more TTYD. I also downloaded A Little to the Left on our Xbox Series S through game pass, might play a bit of that. With Brothership and Sonic x Shadow Generations coming soon, my gaming schedule is a little complicated. Have a good weekend!
Pretty good. Interesting to hear the GUN Commander being called Abraham Tower, which was his Archie Sonic name. Did they get the rights to the name? Or did they just have it period? Amazing episode, neither the less.
Nintendo is full of surprises, so I honestly think they COULD have a direct or something. Personally, I would love a Metroid direct where they would give us a gameplay presentation for Prime 4, reveals for Prime 2 and 3 remastered as well as something else like Samus Returns HD (Prime Hunters and Federation Force...plz?), and maybe something else. I mean, Prime 4 should be earlier 2025, right?
This has been a pretty chill week, TBH. Maybe more exciting things will happen next week.
This weekend, when I can, I'll be playing TTYD. On Chapter 7, at the X-naut fortress, with a few braincells gone because of a certain Bob-omb. If the TV's taken, I'll either be on my 2ds with Partners in Time (which I need to beat before playing Brothership) or maybe Team Kirby Clash, or even on my Switch for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Have a good weekend!
Edit: my brother's started playing Fossil Fighters: Champions for when he's not playing Fortnite and Rocket League on our Xbox Series S. I find that interesting.
Me: A Nintendo Museum, huh?That's cool, but I doubt I'll ever go to Japan, so I don't think I'll ever be ther--- Also me: Sees Kirby vending machine Instantly books flight.
It's been a crazy week. Between Sonic Central, Level 5, work, it's been a lot. I don't have Zelda, but a friend of mine does, and he should be playing that to some degree. Still on TTYD, around the end of chapter 6. Checking in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe every now and then. Actually started Partners in Time and finished the winter area in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, so I might play those a bit. Happy Weekend!
Trailer looks really good, actually. Still tho, where's the release date? This whole presentation was filled with just release windows. What's making it like this? Switch 2, trying to do too much, actual care and development? Making people wait until 2026 for a new IP (Decapolice) sounds like too much.
Thankfully, I can wait for Layton. I got other things.
Another peak at Sonic x Shadow Generations, Sonic Rumble, some of the other spin-off mobile titles and such, and clarification on the DC crossover. Hopefully, we'll get a new game announcement (although it's probably not likely) Sonic 3, and maybe a look at that supposed leaked Transformers crossover. Maybe more Lego? Not sure. Either way, tomorrow looks exciting!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th February)
Still playing Brothership, currently on Lottsacoins Island. Honestly, this might be my favorite area so far. I love the theme of the place, and it actually has decent puzzles.
That's it. Happy weekend!
Re: PlatinumGames Wipes Several Games From Its Website's Portfolio
Man, I really liked TF Devastation, and friend of mine loves it as well. That game's worth remembering.
....But from what I've heard, TMNTMIM isn't as much. Still weird to do this. Still need to play Zero (and Guard).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (1st February)
Okay, so in Monster Hunter Rise, I hunted Thunder Serpent Narwa, really fun, creative boss, so now it seems like I need to grind quests until I reach hr 50 to fight the true final boss. I... might need to take a step back with Rise, and do a little more Brothership, or even boot up Phantom Hourglass again (which I 100% intend on doing this year, I'm determined to finish this game for some reason). Still want to continue to some degree, but I might need a little break. We'll see
Happy weekend!
Re: Poll: With No Switch 2 News Until April, Is A February Nintendo Direct On The Cards?
@anoyonmus Well, if nothing else, I'd love to see a Mega Man Legends collection soon.
Re: Poll: With No Switch 2 News Until April, Is A February Nintendo Direct On The Cards?
I could see Nintendo doing a direct. Metroid Prime 4 (as well as 2 and 3), Kirby Planet Robobot (or something else), a gamecube remaster (Chibi-robo or F-zero GX), third-party support (stuff from Capcom, Level-5, etc.), and a smaller game surprise (new Rhythm Heaven, Chibi-robo, etc.). If nothing else, a direct mini or at least a partner showcase. The next Indie World might still happen in March or something.
Re: Surprise! Capcom's First Showcase Of 2025 Is Airing Next Week
I'm ready for Capcom to at least announce a Mega Man Legends Collection. I'll also take Mega Man 12 or a something else new, but a Legends Collection would really do it for me.
....Buuut it's not gonna happen here, so in a Nintendo Direct would be nice.
Re: Talking Point: What Do We Actually Want From 'Mario Kart 9'?
R.O.B. That's it.
THE END
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (11th January)
This weekend I'll be playing more Monster Hunter Rise. About to start 6 stars high rank hub quests. I also have Mario and Luigi Brothership to play.
Next week, I think I'll be taking a break from gaming and entertainment. So if the Switch 2 is announced or we have a direct, I probably won't be there for the initial hype.
Happy weekend!
Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch Games Launching In 2025
I hope Metroid Prime 4 is good and that Layton and the New World of Steam actually comes out this year.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (New Year Edition)
I've also unlocked high rank in Monster Hunter Rise this week, and I still want to play more. However, I got Mario and Luigi Brothership for Christmas, so I'll probably be playing that when I can!
Next week, I'll be going to a Youth conference, so hopefully I'll do some good shopping then! Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! It's gonna be a big one, I can feel it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Christmas 2024 Edition)
Although I should be playing more Phantom Hourglass, this weekend will probably be more Monster Hunter Rise for me when I can play. It's just really fun. Other than that, it's mostly just errands and other things before the holidays. Honestly, I'm pretty excited for Christmas! Looking forward to a good day off at least.
Happy weekend, and happy holidays! Pray that I get a ps3 slim and/or Oneshot World Machine Edition (Collectors Edition) on Switch. God bless.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2024 - Our Most Played Games

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th November)
Whew! Busy week! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I was able to have dinner with my Mom's side on Monday, had a nice day off and dinner with my intermediate family on Thursday, and I snagged a few things yesterday.
When I can, I'll probably be playing Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Shadow Generations.

Re: Talking Point: Where The Heck Are Those Metroid Prime 2 And 3 Remasters?
I have confidence the games are coming at some point, but not sure when. Or even IF they'll be remastered, but I'm decently confident in that too.
Question is, where will Prime Hunters and Federation Force play in this. Joking, but both games ARE important for Sylux, and I love Hunters.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Kirby: Nightmare In Dream Land (GBA)
I feel like the Japan boxart is better in the context with the game this game is remaking. Both aren't the best, honestly.
Also, did no one realize/remember that the NA artwork took from the anime? A little surprised Right Back at Ya! didn't get mentioned.

Re: Anniversary: 20 Years On, Metroid Prime 2 Represents The Franchise At Its Experimental Best
Played MP2 on Prime Trilogy with my Wii U last year. Really good game. Almost made number 5 on my top 5 favorite games I played that year (got beat by Gravity Circuit, the Megaman in me demanded it). It better get remastered, probably will double-dip soon-ish if/when it does.
The first 30 seconds of the title theme is one of the hardest bangers I've ever heard in gaming. https://youtu.be/s6N0A1U_ZhE?feature=shared
Edit: also, I swear whoever worked on this soundtrack worked on Smash Brawl. https://youtu.be/tP9kmLq8Y80?feature=shared

Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap Turns 20 Today
Haven't played it. Got the game on Wii U Virtual Console before the eshop shutdown. Really need to play it, my friends say it's amazing!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (2nd November)
Wow. This week has been... crazy. First, Nintendo announces Xenoblade X out of the blue like it's 2020. Then, on the same day, Sony announced they're canceling Concord and axeing the team with something else. And then, Nintendo Music happened. Just... wow.
This weekend, when I can, I'll be playing Sonic x Shadow Generations on Series S. Beat Sonic Generations, still a great game, and started Shadow Generations, which is... pretty good, actually. Can't wait to 100%. Also will probably play more Partners in Time and Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. Man, Mario and Luigi Brothership is next week, but I don't think I'll be playing that until Black Friday. We'll see. Have a good weekend!
P.S. Ethan Zack, if you're seeing this, play Sonic Mania! That game's great and pretty easy to get into.
Re: Random: 'Nintendo Music' Has Fans Reminiscing About Smash Ultimate's Grooviest Feature
@Nintoz that sounds like a fun idea! I should try that with my discord party.
Re: Random: 'Nintendo Music' Has Fans Reminiscing About Smash Ultimate's Grooviest Feature
I love video game soundtrack players in the game, especially on Switch (ds and 3ds too)! I've used that type of thing for car rides and casual listening many times, and Smash Ultimate is a good one. I even have a whole group about it on my Switch. I've used the D.A. Garden in Sonic Mania and the soundtrack players in the Mega Man Legacy Collection (especially X and Zero/ZX) a lot.
Personally, I think the ability to listen to the game OST is a feature every game should have. Even when the soundtrack isn't that great, it's nice to go through a soundtrack to appreciate it and find some really good tracks.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (26th October)
Time will be limited, but when I can, I want to play Sonic x Shadow Generations on my Xbox Series S. Started Sonic Generations, it's fine so far. Runs and looks real nice. Will also play Partners in Time when I can and when the TV'S taken. Also, a little touch of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for some gem apples and exp is probably in the plans.
In other areas, I watched Transformers One last night. And by that I mean I was up till 2 watching it. And... I think it hit something in me. Must've been "The Fall" scene. Anyhow, have a good weekend! God bless!
Re: Poll: Sonic X Shadow Generations Is Out This Week, Will You Be Getting It?
I'll probably pre-order on Xbox digitally through my Series S before Friday. Want to play it, get my own opinion on it without too many reviews and other opinions (although I've gotten a tiny taste of them), and experience it in the finest form I can. Which is why I'm skipping switch this time. Probably won't be bad, but probably not the best way to play either.
Thing is, I want to play Shadow Generations ASAP, but it feels more proper to play it's version of Sonic Generations first, even tho I've already played Sonic Gens many times through 360. That game's been with me for many years, and is one of my favorite Sonic games. Hopefully this version will hold up.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th October)
This week, I watched The Wild Robot. Pretty good, really good-looking film. I also watched a bunch of bits of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish that I didn't see the first time I watched it. Don't know if I would ENTIRELY recommend it... but I have to admit, it's pretty cool. Any scene with Death in it is awesome.
This weekend when I can, I got Partners in Time, a little Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, MAYBE Kirby and the Forgotten Land(?), and A Little to the Left on Game Pass.
Next week, I should be watching Transformers One on streaming, and I think I'll be getting Sonic x Shadow Generations on Xbox Series S. Have a good weekend!
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Party Jamboree?
I would like to get and play it at some point. I really liked Super Mario Party. Things is, I don't play multiplayer games that much outside of friend get-togethers.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th October)
THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR!!!! THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR IS REAL!!!!
...sorry, not an One Piece, but I had to say it.
Just wanted to say I beat the game last night! Really loved it! Chapter 6 is my favorite, and that's mostly because I actually took a 2 day train ride earlier this year. Will it be my favorite Paper Mario, or Mario rpg?... hard to say, I love Origami King, Inside Story, and Dream Team a lot.
Well, now I'm working on Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Partners in Time, a little Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and MAYBE I'll do a little more TTYD. I also downloaded A Little to the Left on our Xbox Series S through game pass, might play a bit of that. With Brothership and Sonic x Shadow Generations coming soon, my gaming schedule is a little complicated. Have a good weekend!
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings Episode 3 Is Out Now
Pretty good. Interesting to hear the GUN Commander being called Abraham Tower, which was his Archie Sonic name. Did they get the rights to the name? Or did they just have it period? Amazing episode, neither the less.
Re: Feature: 10 Years Ago, Nintendo Launched The Very Best 3DS
The original 2ds is surprisingly comfortable. Might be my favorite game system (having access to the ds library helps).
Re: Forget 'Switch 2', Nintendo Has Just Revealed An Official Alarm Clock
No... Kirby? No... Smash? But... Ring Fit Adventure?
I need one that lets me wake up to Smash Brawl music. Who wouldn't want to wake up to this? https://youtu.be/kBkpXSbMfZM?feature=shared
Note: This is what I wake up to every morning. https://youtu.be/aTbfpkByIM8?feature=shared
Re: Talking Point: After A September No-Show, Will There Be An October Nintendo Direct?
Nintendo is full of surprises, so I honestly think they COULD have a direct or something. Personally, I would love a Metroid direct where they would give us a gameplay presentation for Prime 4, reveals for Prime 2 and 3 remastered as well as something else like Samus Returns HD (Prime Hunters and Federation Force...plz?), and maybe something else. I mean, Prime 4 should be earlier 2025, right?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th October)
This has been a pretty chill week, TBH. Maybe more exciting things will happen next week.
This weekend, when I can, I'll be playing TTYD. On Chapter 7, at the X-naut fortress, with a few braincells gone because of a certain Bob-omb. If the TV's taken, I'll either be on my 2ds with Partners in Time (which I need to beat before playing Brothership) or maybe Team Kirby Clash, or even on my Switch for Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Have a good weekend!
Edit: my brother's started playing Fossil Fighters: Champions for when he's not playing Fortnite and Rocket League on our Xbox Series S. I find that interesting.
Re: Feature: The Nintendo Museum Goes Hard On Merch & Fun, But Could Dive Deeper Into History
Me: A Nintendo Museum, huh?That's cool, but I doubt I'll ever go to Japan, so I don't think I'll ever be ther---
Also me: Sees Kirby vending machine
Instantly books flight.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Professor Layton And The Miracle Mask
The Europe cover has more to offer, but I kinda think the US is a little... cleaner? I don't know, maybe I'm just biased.
On another note, Miracle Mask is probably my least favorite Layton (haven't played Layton's Mystery Journey). Still a great game, tho.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th September)
It's been a crazy week. Between Sonic Central, Level 5, work, it's been a lot. I don't have Zelda, but a friend of mine does, and he should be playing that to some degree.
Still on TTYD, around the end of chapter 6. Checking in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe every now and then. Actually started Partners in Time and finished the winter area in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, so I might play those a bit. Happy Weekend!
Re: Professor Layton And The New World Of Steam Trailer Shows Off 3D Gameplay
Trailer looks really good, actually. Still tho, where's the release date? This whole presentation was filled with just release windows. What's making it like this? Switch 2, trying to do too much, actual care and development? Making people wait until 2026 for a new IP (Decapolice) sounds like too much.
Thankfully, I can wait for Layton. I got other things.
Re: Stunning-Looking RPG 'DECAPOLICE' Will Now Launch In 2026
This is just....baffling. I'm not waiting for this game, but this is ridiculous.
Re: Sonic Central Presentation To Give "Sneak Peek" At Upcoming Projects On 24th September
Another peak at Sonic x Shadow Generations, Sonic Rumble, some of the other spin-off mobile titles and such, and clarification on the DC crossover. Hopefully, we'll get a new game announcement (although it's probably not likely) Sonic 3, and maybe a look at that supposed leaked Transformers crossover. Maybe more Lego? Not sure. Either way, tomorrow looks exciting!
