Wish Nintendo would put their focus on first party games for Switch 2.

I'm so grateful you started this site, and so grateful to all those who keep it updated every day. Y'all are the best! <3

@nessisonett All soaps have shoddy acting. It’s part of their charm.

I LOVE seeing the variety of interest in these polls. Happy gaming everyone. <3

Didn't Nintendo delay the Switch 2 last year so they could avoid supply issues at launch? That means they wanted the extra year to stockpile. I think that means it is ready to release very soon. But then again it is Nintendo, so who knows! 🤣

@Daniel36 It's definitely worth playing. It's mostly broken up into little achievement chunks and a satisfying gameplay loop so you can easily drop in and out. It's a great deal of fun if you enjoy collecting and crafting and exploring. There's also space battles and space stations, various alien species, an endless supply of new and beautiful places to explore--I'm always spamming the screenshot button. But there's not really an intricate story that you need to follow--there is a galaxy-spanning story, but it's just kind of "meh". The real meat of the game is the freedom to go do your own thing, with more worlds than you could ever explore in a lifetime.

@Sylamp OMG thank you for letting me know, I thought they'd dumbed it down because every single trailer or screenshot showed all those hearts and I was straight up furious about it. Now I might be tempted to buy it, I liked this one so much better than Tropical Freeze. Thanks again!!!

Adding an extra heart to both DK and Diddy makes a challenging game into a cakewalk. Why did they have to dumb it down like that? Hard pass.

Thank you for writing and echoing my own feelings. One of my favorite games of all time. The music, the voices, the battles, the story--ahhh it's so good. I want to boot it up right now and dive back in.

Is it weird for me to admit I didn’t even know they made DVDs anymore?

I think it's Dire Dire Docks, not Rocks.

Ocarina Water Temple not so bad? Actually good? Hmm...

ponders idea and then screams with rage

Watching now and loving it! Thank you so much for sharing!

Snowboard Kids 2!! The attack-all trash-can lid was always a hoot! The level designs were incredible. I loved the mayhem when everyone arrived at the ski lift at the same time, and if you had the misfortune to miss the entrance, you had to try hopping around to get over there! My friends and I had such great times with that game, I would love to play it again.

Impressive. Most impressive.

@rjejr @xiao7 I’m 99.9% sure these posts are all written during the week and scheduled to automatically post at intervals over the weekend so the site doesn’t look abandoned. Scheduling posts for later has been possible for well over a decade.

@Joshie0234 Yes, weapon degradation is annoying.

But a few comments on your second point about choosing life versus stamina. You can swap them out in Hateno at the dark goddess statue. You max out Stamina way before you'll max out your hearts. And it's so easy to cook foods to increase both anyway that it shouldn't affect your exploration or battles until you've completed enough shrines to have ample of both without foods.

I've been waiting decades to have the NES version of the Arcade game on my current playable system! Can't wait to revisit those early 90s memories.

Worst theme yet, can’t see the bricks at all! Who approves these? Sheesh.

My husband and I love the Wii. I just got my Wii2HDMI gadget so we can play it on modern TVs. We are stoked to play Wii Sports Resort (golf and bowling), New Super Mario Bros Wii, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Mario Galaxy 2 again. Oh, and that board in Mario Party 8 where you invest in the hotels, Koopa’s Tycoon Town? We love that one, a gem in an otherwise mediocre game.

Wii Sports, pretty please? I miss bowling so much. Though I'd be happy with Donkey Kong Country Returns and New Super Mario Bros Wii too.

@wasgo @MrSteveBob Maybe the issue is with the word "buy"? Technically you "exchange" tickets, which you have to earn by playing the game. There's no way to spend money for the themes. But in the customization menu, the themes you don't have should show a number of tickets over them. It's 15 for regular themes and 30 for special event themes.
