My 7 year old has been enjoying his Mario sets a bunch (and so has his 5 year old sibling). I agree that the sets themselves are pretty bare-boned (especially considering the price). The nice thing about LEGO though, is that if you have extra pieces, you can dress up the Mario sets a bunch. My kid hasn't felt the need to do this yet (which I wouldn't expect at his age).
They are nice. Just wish they weren't so darn expensive. Though it's nice that the sets come in a range of sizes and prices. We've been going with the small to medium sets.
This looks hilarious! I also love the medieval theme! I'll wait for a review though. I feel like this is going to at least make my (ever-growing) wishlist.
I've already played Florence, and some Tetris 99. Will also probably play some ACNH and Splatoon 2. Not sure else is on the gaming horizon at this point.
I downloaded not too long ago when it was on sale. Haven't gotten around to playing it yet, but it's nice to know that I have something to look forward to!
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King/Darklord
FFCC Ring of Fates
FFCC Echoes of Time
FFCC The Crystal Bearers
Fantasy Life (either a port or a new title)
Ever Oasis (either a port or new title)
LOZ Oracle of Seasons/Ages (remastered)
There are probably others, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Edit: Skies of Arcadia Legends (as others have mentioned as well)
I'm determined to actually start Sakuna this weekend. I ended up buying the divine edition as a Birthday/Christmas present for myself awhile back. I got busy with other things though.
Also ACNH. I'm remodeling the island again (my poor townies).
I'll give it another go. The first demo of this game did not impress me. I never finished the first Bravely Default though (I got bored), so it may just be that this series just isn't for me (and that's fine, I'm still happy for the fans of the series).
I downloaded Calico, looking forward to trying it out! It looks so chill, which is what I'm looking for in games these days. I'm really into cat games these days too (especially since I got my cat in August).
Keeping an eye out for more info on Kitaria Fables and Potion Permit. Those look awesome!
Recently downloaded Tetris 99, so I've been playing that. ACNH, and maybe some of Gris later (we're doing some home renovation projects today, so I don't anticipate a lot of game time).
Already have played some Pocket Card Jockey (3DS) and some Yoshi's Wooly World on the Wii U (playing co-op with my 5 year old) this morning. I started a new save file on Fantasy Life earlier this week, so I'll probably play some more of that as well. Will also check in on my island in ACNH at some point.
My hubby bought ours for our 5 year wedding anniversary (6 years ago). We still have it, and it's been making a comeback with our kids! I had introduced wiisports to them a month or two ago. Lately they've been really into Mario Maker (they love using the amiibo for that). Lots of good gaming memories, and more will probably be made!
Yay Team Treat! Kinda bummed that I didn't get to do a single 10x or 100x match though (hopefully next time). Team Trick played hard though. I got beat enough times that it was hard for me to guess which team was going to come out on top.
Team Treat! Purple is also the color of my alma mater. 😁
@silverninja I've had a few Treat vs. Treat matches. I have a feeling the teams are at least a little more even than the poll shows.
@ChaosBadger777 I bought a used copy online for around $40, and I already feel like I've gotten my money's worth from how many hours I've put into it. It's my 2nd most played game. To each their own, though.
I may get it for Switch when it goes on sale. For now I can be content with the Wii U version. I actually restarted Pikmin 2 recently (I had completed the first Pikmin a couple of times, but haven't completed 2 and 3 yet).
Thank you for these videos! It seems that a lot of people knew about these titles. . .but I didn't. By the time I jumped on the Switch bandwagon, there were already so many titles. I like seeing snippets of what I missed. Definitely going to add a couple of these titles to my wishlist.

Re: Review: When The Past Was Around - The Perfect Video Game Tonic For 2020
I tried the demo awhile back and loved it. It's on my wishlist!
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2020
I love that A Short Hike placed so high! Such a great little game!
I see a few others that I still need to try out.

Re: Best Of 2020: Star Trek On Nintendo Consoles - Where Are The Great Star Trek Games?
I've never played a Star Trek game; but after seeing all of those screenshots, I want to binge watch TNG on the TV.
Re: Stardew Valley's 1.5 Update Will Feature A New Beach Farm
I can't wait!!!!! Beach farm sounds interesting.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 19th)
ACNH. Maybe I'll start Calico. More Wandersong. Also Bravely Default II demo.
Re: You Can Now Download Bravely Default II's 'Final Demo' From The Switch eShop
I'll give it another go. The first demo of this game did not impress me. I never finished the first Bravely Default though (I got bored), so it may just be that this series just isn't for me (and that's fine, I'm still happy for the fans of the series).

I wish we'd hear more news about Witchbrook.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 12th)
ACNH. Also hoping to get into Sakuna (which I bought as an early birthday present for myself earlier this week).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 5th)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 28th)
ACNH and Wandersong. If I finish Wandersong, I'll probably start Gris.
Re: Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Has Already Sold Over 500,000 Copies Globally
I haven't gotten yet, I will eventually though. If I can't find a physical copy, I'll go the digital route. I'm glad that it's doing well!
Re: Devolver Digital Cyber Sale Discounts Lots Of Switch Indie Favourites (North America)
Finally going to get Gris (which has been on my wishlist for awhile now)!
Edit: Also got Wandersong!
Re: Ubisoft's Immortals Fenyx Rising Was Born Out Of An Assassin's Creed Bug
Still waiting for a review. It looks so good though. May wait awhile after Christmas since I'm usually busier this time of year.

Mmmmmm, rice! Still interested in trying this out. Hopefully for Christmas!

ACNH and Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. I'm in the mood for a laid-back gaming weekend.
Re: Nintendo Wants To Know Whether You Prefer 2D Or 3D Zelda Games
I prefer the 2D ones.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 7th)
Probably just a little ACNH this weekend. I have a lot going on in the next couple of days. Been itching for some Fire Emblem Three Houses though.
Re: Feature: Best Point And Click Adventure Games For Nintendo Switch
Some of these I had never heard of before. Thanks for the list!
Re: Adorable Multiplayer Brawler Cake Bash Cooks Up A November Release On Switch
I'm also waiting to see what the online multi-player is like. This looks like fun!
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Comfort Food Game?
ACNH, Stardew Valley, Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, Splatoon 2, and A Short Hike on the Switch.
Sometimes Fantasy Life or Ever Oasis on 3DS.
Re: Team Treat Wins Splatoon 2's Halloween Splatfest
Yay Team Treat! Kinda bummed that I didn't get to do a single 10x or 100x match though (hopefully next time). Team Trick played hard though. I got beat enough times that it was hard for me to guess which team was going to come out on top.

Re: Review: Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Perhaps Not Worth A Double Dip, But The Choice Pick For New Players
I may get it for Switch when it goes on sale. For now I can be content with the Wii U version. I actually restarted Pikmin 2 recently (I had completed the first Pikmin a couple of times, but haven't completed 2 and 3 yet).
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 24th)
Some Splatoon 2 (gotta get ready for next week's Splatfest)! Haven't decided what else yet.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Your Switch More In Docked Or Handheld Mode?
The Switch Lite is perfect for me because I've always preferred handheld gaming. I get how it's not for everybody though.
Re: Hands On: Immortals: Fenyx Rising Could Be The Switch Adventure You Need This Holiday
This looks so beautiful! I also enjoy Greek Mythology. Looking forward to a review!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 26th)
If I have the time, I'll probably play either Ni no Kuni or Fire Emblem Three Houses. Also ACNH, of course.
Re: Feature: Behind The Music Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition
This was a delightful read! It's my favorite game soundtrack, even if the game isn't a favorite of mine.
