Metroid Dread, 3D World and Skyward Sword HD were my Switch highlights this year although I've mainly been working on the old backlog. Will get Pokémon Snap eventually.
I was thinking about buying some DLC for my 3DS the other day. Want to get some more tracks for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call. Although there's no mention of the 3DS eShop being closed anytime soon.
This is great news, still have my Xbox 360 with the HD version so it doesn't bother me but glad everyone else can get to experience Banjo Kazooie it's an amazing game.
If they bring Diddy Kong Racing to the service I would strongly consider buying.
With Sonic games you're often going so fast that you don't tend to notice the scenery too much. Will be interesting to see how this one turns out but I'm not getting my hopes up.
I still own the original cartridge. For some reason I prefer the N64 Paper Mario to the GameCube one, will have to do a revisit sometime because I can't understand why.
Have booked it in my calendar as l missed the Metroid Dread theme last time. I like these events they keep me coming back but I do need to try Pacman 99 too.
I'm still on Uncharted 3 Remastered for PS4, getting near the end and loving it. Also Kirby Planet Robobot which have also nearly cleared the main game. Might try some Panzer Paladin too and if I finish Uncharted will move onto Brilliant Diamond.
Finished Metroid Dread 100% as it just had me so hooked it was amazing. Was going to buy an eShop card today but decided on Sonic Colours Ultimate instead because I really enjoyed the original.
Also Sly Cooper 2 Band of Thieves on PS3 and Tetris 99. Happy gaming everyone.
I started Metroid Dread the other day and did stop and wonder whether I should play Other M first but decided to go ahead with Dread. Still feel I want to play Other M though.
Super Mario 3D Land on 3DS, forgotten how fun the game was and I'm still really enjoying it third time around. Also Ratchet & Clank 3 HD on PS3 which is great fun too.
Can't see Nintendo bringing that many N64 games over to Switch anyway so it might not be worth it for a lot of people. Not that I believe the N64 is coming to Switch VC.
Horace for me, it's hilarious in places and finding it hard to put down, great game. Also Super Princess Peach on the DS, it's packed full of content and a really underrated game with lots of cool ideas. If I finish Horace then Ratchet and Clank 3 HD will be next which I'm looking forward to.
Am hoping to finish Skyward Sword HD this weekend, maybe not quite 100% but should be close. Also going to finish Super Princess Peach which has been a great DS game and Ring Fit Adventure which I play once a week for a good workout, still loving it.
Skyward Sword HD for me, the HD graphics look lovely. Also Super Princess Peach on DS and Ring Fit Adventure post game stuff, still really enjoying it.
Also thinking of putting in a pre-order for Sonic Colours HD.
@Friendly I never managed to do "don't touch anything" perfectly. Might be worth checking out a YouTube video to get some ideas but I remember it being incredibly difficult.
I'm playing Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, hoping to finish it. Have also started Super Princess Peach on DS which is pretty neat and 80s Overdrive on 3DS.
Might start Skyward Sword HD since everyone else is playing it.
I still need to decide which retro games to download on 3DS and Wii U virtual console. Am considering this is an indication the stores themselves will be closing maybe next year.
Might play Skyward Sword HD but am currently quite enjoying Max and the Cursed Brotherhood, it's a really fun game. Also have just a little more to do to get 100% on Yoku's Island Express which was awesome.

Re: Picross S7 Is Out, Now With Stylus Support And A Big Picross Sale
I've exhausted Picross for now but might try the 3D ones on DS/3DS for some variety.
Re: Mini Review: Omno - An Easygoing, Pensive Platformer With Echoes Of Journey
Think I'll get this eventually. Might be a good game to chill playing when you don't want to use much brain power.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 20th)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 13th)
I'm playing Sonic Colours Ultimate on PS4, almost done but will have to get all the red rings and S ranks. Great game.
Also some Kirby Planet Robobot on 3DS.
Re: Doug Bowser (Kind Of) Addresses Complaints About Switch Online's Nintendo 64 Emulation
I just renewed my NSO subscription without the expansion pack. Don't think I'll ever be bothered about it now.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 30th)
@Clyde_Radcliffe Wait until you try the new level Stormy Ascent, it took me more than 50 lives to complete that level.

Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
No way I'm upgrading, already have a Genesis Mini.

Super Mario 3D Land on 3DS, forgotten how fun the game was and I'm still really enjoying it third time around. Also Ratchet & Clank 3 HD on PS3 which is great fun too.
Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting Another Game Update Next Week
We need a Splatfest
Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis 'Expansion Pack' Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October
There's only one new game that I haven't already got so am finding this underwhelming. Am tired of buying new peripherals all the time too.

Re: Platinum Would "Definitely" Port Star Fox Zero To Switch, If Given The Opportunity
Though I enjoyed Start Fox Zero I'd rather they just made a new game.
Re: The Analogue Pocket Has Now Been Delayed Until December
I want one but didn't get a pre-order in on time so will wait and see if they become available.

Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl's New 'Grand Underground' Map Looks Epic
Even though I completed it I didn't really get into Diamond & Pearl at the time but think I'll enjoy it a lot more the second time around.

Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Rated In Australia As Release Date Draws Near
I'm still on the fence with these remakes. They just don't grab me from what I've seen so far and I already own Platinum on DS.
Re: Video: Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania Trailer Shows Sonic And Tails In Action
Looking forward to Banana Mania. Sonic and Trails are a great addition.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 7th)
I'm playing Skyward Sword HD, only just started. Also Tetris 99 event and Super Princess Peach on the DS, it's a fun game.
Re: Unlock A Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Theme In Tetris 99's 23rd Maximus Cup
Definitely getting this one. I like the Ballad of the Goddess song and it's hardly played in Skyward Sword.
Re: Spiritfarer Physical Edition Is Out Today
Think I'll go physical on this one.
Re: Talking Point: Every Pre-BOTW 3D Zelda Now Has A Remake, But Which Is Best?
Wind Waker HD made great use of the Gamepad when you're finding treasure at sea.
Ocarina of Time 3D was good but I miss it on the big screen with a proper analogue stick instead of the 3DS slider.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 24th)
@fafonio I miss the old Zelda formula too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 24th)

Re: Reminder: Nine Resident Evil Games Are Currently Discounted Across Switch And 3DS

Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Soars Straight To Number One
There's been a lot of advertising for Skyward Sword HD, seems like it's paying off.

Re: Poll: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
It arrived a couple of hours ago and joy cons are due this evening. Happy days.
Re: Sonic Colors: Ultimate Switch Trailer Removes 60fps Perk Of Original Video
Will just get the PS4 version, was expecting something like this to happen anyway.
Re: Round Up: Here Are The First "Hands-On" Impressions Of The Nintendo Switch OLED
I'm just sad I didn't get the Gameboy Advance SP with the improved screen at the time, I didn't know it existed.
I already have both a Switch and Switch Lite so to have an OLED Switch would make the Switch Lite look bad so I won't get it.
Re: Nintendo Plugs Its NSO Zelda Games Ahead Of Skyward Sword HD's Release
Am playing A Link to the Past at the moment in anticipation of Skyward Sword. Shame NSO doesn't have Oracle of Seasons or Oracle of Ages.
Re: Video: Days Ahead Of Release, Zelda: Skyward Sword Gets New 'A Hero Rises' Trailer
It does look really nice in HD. Looking forward to playing.
Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Be Purchased Separately
I was interested in the dock until the one less USB port was mentioned.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch OLED Model
I hardly ever play in handheld so don't think I'll bother. Already have a wired LAN adapter. I do like the white dock and joy cons though.
