Well boys, we did it. Pokemon fans harassing switch online is no more! Surely this is what they meant when they said they wanted gameboy Pokemon games right!
Never played a Donkey Konga game but I love watching modders do goofy things like this. Breathing new life into already great games is what it’s all about!

I doubt they will get rid of reload. They just gave it that big map update, and it requires far less people than a normal game. They’ll probably start putting items from chapter 2 into reload and leave the OG map to chapter 1 things, if i had to guess
At least, that’s what I hope they do because I like the fast paced gameplay of reload over battle royale on occasion XD
Been on a fortnite stint with my friends lately, and we loved the OG season (what really reeled me back in to the game). Love to see this becoming a permanent mode, but curious to see how it affects the player counts in the other modes.
I really dislike how the newer mythic weapons and bosses give just a few players a huge advantage, so I am very glad to have this original, more fair balancing back to enjoy
I downloaded the update last night after seeing an article about this, and yes, my fedora cat caused a solid second of freezing every few seconds. Unfortunate, but really funny.
I’ve already had two new night events and my main file was in winter, so I’ve seen new npc designs and content in my 3 days of goofing around. It’s a great update so far!
@sanderev My valid and legal reason is dumping my legally purchased games with my legally modified switch to run with mods and improved performance on my PC…
I downloaded Balatro when it came out on apple arcade recently which was a horrible mistake because now the game is in my pocket wherever I go. So much for being a productive person XD
If we ever end our subscription, I will definitely be buying this game. Very fun
I’ve put moonlight (game streaming) on my modded 3ds and switch consoles, I usually end up playing my pc games at my desk anyway but it is a cool option to have
One of the many benefits of modded consoles, I actually recently put Linux on my switch and its pretty fun to mess around with
I have a Mario Red 3DS XL (which, apparently, is the only way to get NSMB2 Gold edition, which I still have) and a SNES New 3DS XL that I still use very frequently to play Pokemon games. Can’t say enough how much I love the 3DS systems, they’re such a nice form factor and have a stellar collection of games and a thriving home brew community
Haven’t played past the second dungeon yet, and also didn’t play links awakening. However, I definitely notice the drops, but they certainly aren’t enough to ruin the game.
On the other hand, the combat feels like the auto-battle system from Pokemon S/V, just press the echo button and wait for the fight to end. Pretty tame.
Overall, enjoying the game. Not my favorite but I don’t regret picking it up
so excited to play this, I’ve never actually played a 2d zelda game all the way through (I was introduced to the series with BotW) and this will be my first time. Maybe after I beat it I could try some older ones, or actually finish OoT? I love the idea behind this game and glad to see it holds up to the hype
@PikminMarioKirby @Axecon just started playing super Kirby clash again (funny to see it mentioned at all here so soon after starting), seeing as you both seem to be pretty big Kirby fans, if I wanted to try another Kirby game (spinoff or mainline) where’s a good place to start?
Holding off on returning to this game until 1.6 comes out on switch and I’ve no problem waiting a bit longer. Really looking forward to it when it finally releases!
Started a new playthrough of Ultra Moon since I never actually finished the game. I got that shiny hunting itch after a friend sent me some pictures of shinies he got via SOS hunting and I want in…
So glad I kept my game on an older version. I’ve had msgnotfound for a while and is one of the best things I’ve done in this game. Takes out the worry of durability now that I beat the game fair and square without bugs and I can just goof off now
Cool discovery, but that should absolutely count as a second controller...
It's amazing how much effort is put into saving seconds in this speedrun, it has got to be one of the most technically advanced runs out there to date.
My comment is buried, but I'll still add that I think Hyrule Warriors style gameplay perfectly fits gannondorfs character, as the big, dumb evil guy a brute force style loop is unbeatable. A slower, more puzzling game just doesn't scream "gannondorf" to me.
Doesn't change the fact that it would still be a wonderful idea to make more games starring the big bad characters though

Re: Talking Point: Could Ganondorf Ever Be The Star Of A Zelda Game?
