I know you've heard from some people already, but this is a game that's pretty easy to drop in/out of and enjoy casually. (I play on PC, not switch though)

It's an absolutely beautiful game and mainly focuses on collecting resources to upgrade your spaceship and harvesting tool. One of my favorite parts is the starship combat, very simple but makes you feel really cool lol.

I can't speak on how the switch port fares, but I do think it's missing multiplayer and settlement construction due to the weak hardware

@Dev1024
To be honest, while Nintendo is known for gimmicky consoles, is there anything we actually need past an improved switch?

You're welcome to disagree, but it seems silly to have a major shakeup like that when they struck gold with the original switch. The fact that it sold 150m units probably that they aren't too interested in branching out anyway.

If they were to make a new gimmick, hypothetically, what would you like to see? Personally, I loved the 3ds/wii u dual screens and would be cool to have that back

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2024 - Our Most Played Games

Didn’t play my switch as much as my PC this year (‘only’ 200 hours on switch) but, while it didn’t show up on my review, Hollow Knight also clicked for me at the end of November and I have played SO MUCH of it. Just got what I think is the true ending and can’t recommend it enough.

But… my most played game is Overwatch with 49 hours. Oops!

Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Questions Future Of Consoles, But Not Nintendo Hardware

I think (Nintendo's "private idaho" aside) that consoles will continue to exist simply because they are cheaper, more convenient, and more secure than PCs. Even though exclusives are nearly a lost art (thankfully), these factors just make a console a much more reasonable purchase in a lot of situations.

Personally, I love my PC and Switch and will probably never own a 'real' console lol

Re: It Turns Out Pokémon GO Players Have Been Training An AI This Whole Time

While it is certainly a unique way to collect data for their AI (which I have no problem with this collection system, people know they are taking pictures for Niantic to ‘improve their services’), the rewards for scan quests are super bad. Like, 10 pokeballs or some potions. Not worth all the trouble of taking pictures for niantic. I have a scan quest in my inventory that I got in march of last year during a trip and kept it because it looks cool and don’t have to worry about getting any more scan quests lol
