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
I didn't think about losing retro game saves when servers go down...
Doesn't stop me from wanting Chrono trigger in it or even sold on it's own. I had the DS game but let a family member borrow it before i beat it and he lost the cartridge so i need a way to play it soon before i resort to other... methods.
This is already way buried but I'm hoping to see some Pokemon Z-A or some additional totk content. I don't really need any new games until switch 2 comes out honestly 😅
Pretty sure I got this free on epic games store in their countless giveaways and I have been wanting to get into this series so maybe I’ll try this out
Gonna buy TTYD (physically) eventually. Will be my second mario RPG, following the RPG remake (that i need to finish playing through before moving on!)
Piranah Plant Cove in the MK8DX Expansion is one of the best levels in the Booster Pass and I'm quite suprised that no MK8 levels are on here at all...
Subnautica definitely deserves its spot on this list. Dread is one of the best games on switch for sure, though maybe stressful isn't the word I'd use for it.
A series that isn't here is the Five Night at Freddy's series. The power outage sequence in the first game really gets your heart rate up. And while it's technically on the switch (but not recommended), FNaF Help Wanted in VR is genuinely the most stressful game I've ever played.
I've played delta on my US device with a developer mode exploit (it's very annoying to keep the app on your device so I no longer have it) it's a fantastic emulator from my limited experience, happy for the EU users who get to keep it permanently!

Re: Alleged Concept Art From Cancelled Donkey Kong Project Emerges
Is that not the art from that Skylanders and Donkey Kong crossover? I used to have the figure but I sold it. It worked as an amiibo and a skylander!
