Will be getting Violet now I've seen the legendaries. I had a lot of fun Sword so this is a no brainer for me. I just really enjoy Pokémon games despite the flaws, hopefully the frame rate doesn't dip though.
I might be getting this day one. Not sure about the new look but once I start playing the game I don't think it will matter. Would be nice if they do the GBA games too.
By the way the music in that trailer was very annoying.
I want one to collect but don't think I'll even take it out of the box. Although didn't realise you had to have the expansion pack so not be sure if I'll buy now.
Looks like it belongs on the 3DS with going between the foreground and background (obviously not going to happen). Am still interested even though the art style doesn't appeal to me personally.
They might use Twilight Princess or Wind Waker HD to cover the gap after BOTW 2 since there's going to be a long time before another big Zelda game gets released after that.
I'm playing Crash Bandicoot 2 from the N Sane Trilogy. Almost done and will get all the gems but won't be bothering with the time trials as it can get really frustrating going for the platinums.
Also have Trine 2 on Wii U to finish which is a beautiful and fun game.
I'm playing Trine 2 on Wii U, great game and the gamepad is very handy for accurately drawing boxes with the magician. After that I might try Axiom Verge.
Just got the Kirby theme on Tetris 99, am tempted to go and buy Kirby and the Forgotten Land now. I plan on starting Final Fantasy 13 on the PS3 though since I haven't played it before.
Have just done my weekend workout on Ring Fit Adventure. Playing Steamworld Dig on Wii U, it's pretty addictive. If I finish it's a choice between Axiom Verge and Trine 2: Directors Cut.
My pre order got cancelled and I haven't bothered to try again because I'm in the middle of another game so happy to wait. Looks like a fun game though and I was getting tired of the 2D Kirby games.
@Donutsavant I'm really enjoying Darksiders. I see what you mean about the Zelda-esque dungeons and yet it's a very different game that does it's own thing. I already have Darksiders 2 in my backlog so will be playing that too. Glad I discovered the series.
I'm going to try out the new tracks on Mario Kart 8. Also playing Darksiders Warmaster Edition on Wii U which is surprisingly decent, although some people say it's like Zelda I think it's very different to Zelda.
I take it from the video you can't rewind N64 games but you can for Genesis games.
I'm becoming more interested in the expansion as time goes on but would like some more unique titles we haven't seen before like Goemon. Diddy Kong Racing would sell it for me. Alien Soldier on Genesis was a step in the right direction.
@Rosona I don't want to get LA just yet because I've only recently finished Brilliant Diamond and fancy a break from monster catching. Have moved to playing my Wii U for now. Will probably get Legends Arceus later in the year but for now I'm all Pokemoned out.
Won't be getting Arceus as I wanted to wait a while before playing another Pokemon game after recently finishing Brilliant Diamond. Maybe we'll get another chance at some point.
I seem to alternate between the Fire and Water types. Am not a fan of grass types although my very first starter was Bulbasaur from Pokemon Blue all those years ago.
Am hoping it looks different to Sword/Shield and Legends Arceus. One thing I'm worried about us they could all start looking too similar on the overworld.
I did enjoy Sword and Shield but there's a lot that could've been improved on. Will be interesting to see what the next mainline entry looks like after Arceus.
The only game I don't have is New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, but I have the Wii U version so there's nothing for me here. Some good deals for first party games though.
Still have the 3DS version so will play that instead. One thing I don't like about the 3DS version is you can't use the hookshot to climb ladders like you could on the N64.
Tetris 99, have earned the Arceus theme and I really like it. Polyroll is a neat Sonic inspired indie game I'm playing. Hoping to finish Freedom Finger and decide my next big game, possibly Bayonetta 2.
I've been a long time Kirby fan and the 2D games were getting a bit stale so this looks great to me. So colorful and lovely, interesting to see what reviews will say.
I played the N64 version and finished the game, it was ok but doesn't really stand out for me. I remember if you die on the last boss it gives you a bad ending, you can retry though.
I'm still busy with Brilliant Diamond and don't want to play two Pokémon games close to each other. Once I'm done with a game the next game I play is usually a different genre.
This has reminded me I still haven't played the DLC for Splatoon 2, need to do that soon. Will be getting Splatoon 3 day one I think. Looking forward to more Splatfests again, I do miss them.
@psyraven76 Nice to know I wasn't the only one to have a Commodore 16 + 4. The name always bothered me, I mean why not just call it a Commodore 20.
I remember playing Dirty Den, Trailblazer, Lazer, Jetrix, Bubble Trouble, Punch & Judy, Vegas Jackpot, Williamsburg and Squirm.
Squirm was kind of like Pacman but pretty cool, especially for the time. Williamsburg is a text based adventure that nobody was able to beat. I also did a bit of coding on the Commodore 16 + 4, made a hangman game. I remember the cassettes too, good memories.
I had a Commodore 16 + 4 (strange name I know) as a kid so am not familiar with C64 titles. Would be interesting to see but a lot of those games will have aged quite badly by now, I struggle with NES games these days.

Re: Tetris 99 Has Been Updated To Version 2.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I'm hoping this means I can buy the Metroid Dread theme because I missed that event and was gutted.
Re: Backlog Club: Week Zero - Hello, And Welcome To Backlog Club
When they mentioned Moon I was thinking of an FPS game from the DS but realised they're referring to the PS1 game.

Great news, hopefully this means more Metroid games in the future.
Re: Freedom Planet 2 Is Now Releasing On 13th September 2022
I didn't know a sequel was coming, what a lovely surprise! Enjoyed Freedom Planet on Wii U, need to revisit it and play as the other characters.

Re: What Course Are You Most Excited About In The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 1 DLC? Nintendo Wants To Know
@mariomaster96 I'm wondering if a lot of us haven't played Mario Kart Tour and that's why there's less votes, am looking forward to trying it out.
Re: What Course Are You Most Excited About In The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 1 DLC? Nintendo Wants To Know
I chose Sky Garden. Although I'm looking forward to Maple Treeway as that's one of my favourites.
Re: My Nintendo Store Adds Kirby Pre-Order Bonuses, amiibo Restocks And Stunning Figures (UK)
The amiibos look appealing, might get one or two of those.

Folders next please, I want to be able to organise all my digital games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 26th)
I'm playing Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Electronic Super Joy and maybe Darksiders Warmaster Edition on Wii U, haven't decided yet.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 5th)
@Ooyah Thanks, it's working on a desktop computer but not on my mobile.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 29th)
I've completed Reverie: Sweet As Edition and now I'm on to Bayonetta 2 which is awesome.
Re: Deals: New Amazon Nintendo Switch Bundles Offer Great Savings On Games And Online Subscriptions (UK)
The only game I don't have is New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, but I have the Wii U version so there's nothing for me here. Some good deals for first party games though.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Shmups
I wasn't expecting the list to be so big. I didn't like the look of Graceful Explosion Machine but when I played it I was hooked.
Re: Video: Nintendo Fixed* The Water Emulation In Ocarina Of Time On Switch

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 8th)
@JasmineDragon Hope you start to feel better soon.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 8th)
I've beaten the Elite Four on Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and have post game content to play now. I actually quite enjoyed Brilliant Diamond.
Also going to try Freedom Finger, Kirby's Block Ball and Saints Row IV Re-elected as it just looks like some crazy fun.
Re: Shadow Man Remastered Appears To Be Releasing On Switch eShop Next Month

Re: Nintendo Announces Massive Sale, 1000+ Games Up To 75% Off (Europe)
Think it's time I finally got Cuphead. Might get No More Heroes too as I enjoyed the Wii original, the second game is better though.
