@Aispen interesting. I'm not sure if it was Input latency or just crummy design in general. Hitting is literally such a long build up and enemies are just flying at you. Shame too. Had a lot of potential. I love lost NES games since I only had what I had growing up. I didn't know about much as a kid, just bought what I thought looked good on the box art, which, was once a year, and only 1 game. It wasn't until the 16bit era where I was a tad more aware of what games were good as I was about 8-9 at the time.
Paper Mario TTYD and Evil West/ Fallout 4 on xbox. Can't decide what smaller title to play in my backlog. I tried out Gimmick Special Edition but I did not like the slow combat mixed with the fast enemies. So I might give kudzu a shot from the backlog, or buy tiny thor.
@Hamstrman because Amazon and Walmart sell aftermarket cheap knockoff items on their storefronts. Bestbuy only sells their actual products. No 3rd party stuff.
Hell yea. This is great news. I've been slowly but surely losing interest in the current switch. I hate even typing that! But it's true, I've pretty much played everything I've wanted to play on switch with the exception of a few games. Hopefully we get some zelda, even if it's a remaster, and metroid. Those 2 in the second half will have me hyped.
Consider me mind blown 🤯. But in all seriousness, I'll have to see more. So far, I'm not see anything that screams massive leap from system to the next based on these rumors. Hopefully there's some nice nintendo tricks they have up their sleeves. I will say, backwards compatibility is a huge bonus though.
Pretty much only skyward sword on switch and diablo 4 on xbox. There's quite a bit coming out soon, so i don't want to take on anymore games. I also want to play fallout 4 after nearly finishing the show.
@Tyranexx it's definitely one of my less favorite outings. But still a phenomenal game of course. Which is why I'm playing it again, since I've played it the least out of all games in the series.
Nice read. I bought it on day 1 but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I personally enjoy little retro experiences like this, so it's right up my alley.
Yes, I'm watching Fallout and I'm also a few episodes in. Makes me want to try the series for the first time.
Also loved wrestlemania last weekend and loved the new direction wwe is headed in. It does make me want to buy wwe 2k 24 which is a on a sale atm.
But as for gaming this weekend, I just finished my 5th or 6th playthrough of Cadence of Hyrule last night, so to continue on my zelda push, I started up Skyward Sword again.
@aaronsullivan only a handful of hours. Maybe 4ish max. I didn't get every collectible though. The gameplay is stellar and those boss fights aren't to be trifled with surprisingly.
Nothing on the nintendo front until paper mario unfortunately. Tales of kenzaru(sp?) Is on my list though and I'll grab that on switch instead of xbox.
On xbox I'll play euiyuden chronicles since itll be on GP. Sea of Stars physical might be in the cards though since I adored that game last year.
It'll be light on switch this year unless I see something big in a direct. Pains me to say it honestly but I haven't been playing anything worth while on switch all year except Prince of Persia.
I've mostly been playing on xbox, and some stuff on ps4 as I recently came into one so I've been scooping up cheap games for it.

Re: Video: Luigi's Mansion 2 HD For Switch Gets A New Trailer

Fallout 4 on Xbox, and Skyward Sword on Switch.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Want To Reuse Your Joy-Con On 'Switch 2'?

Skyward Sword on Switch
Diablo 4 and Fallout 4 on xbox.
Re: Review: Tales Of Kenzera: ZAU (Switch) - An Emotional Metroidvania That Plays It Too Safe
Still looks good enough to grab at $20. I'm still a tad busy with other games though so maybe down the road.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (20th April)
Pretty much only skyward sword on switch and diablo 4 on xbox. There's quite a bit coming out soon, so i don't want to take on anymore games. I also want to play fallout 4 after nearly finishing the show.
Re: Review: Kudzu (Switch) A Delightful, Leafy Ode To Link's Awakening And The Game Boy
@Tyranexx it's definitely one of my less favorite outings. But still a phenomenal game of course. Which is why I'm playing it again, since I've played it the least out of all games in the series.
Re: Review: Kudzu (Switch) A Delightful, Leafy Ode To Link's Awakening And The Game Boy
@Tyranexx I will definitely @ you as soon as I get to it. I'd play now, but im doing another SS playthrough currently 😂.
Re: Review: Kudzu (Switch) A Delightful, Leafy Ode To Link's Awakening And The Game Boy
Nice read. I bought it on day 1 but haven't had a chance to play it yet. I personally enjoy little retro experiences like this, so it's right up my alley.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th April (North America)
Waiting for reviews of tales of kenzera and eiyuden.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tomorrow, April 17th 2024
Welp, it's something. Hard to get excited for indie worlds these days. Very hit or miss and I'm not expecting anything big at this point.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th April)
Yes, I'm watching Fallout and I'm also a few episodes in. Makes me want to try the series for the first time.
Also loved wrestlemania last weekend and loved the new direction wwe is headed in. It does make me want to buy wwe 2k 24 which is a on a sale atm.
But as for gaming this weekend, I just finished my 5th or 6th playthrough of Cadence of Hyrule last night, so to continue on my zelda push, I started up Skyward Sword again.
On xbox I'm playing Banjo and Diablo 4.

Who needs the rest of the year when we have April
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects & Readers' Choice (March 2024)
@MeloMan especially for a few bucks. 3 campaigns. Only did the 2 main ones though and didn't finish the handheld one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th April)
@aaronsullivan only a handful of hours. Maybe 4ish max. I didn't get every collectible though. The gameplay is stellar and those boss fights aren't to be trifled with surprisingly.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects & Readers' Choice (March 2024)
Pepper Grinder was great.
Crypt Stalker was a nice time too, actually.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th April)
I beat Pepper Grinder last night, so I'm going to be focusing on Banjo Kazooie and Diablo 4. Maybe ill pick Color Splash up again.
Re: Kudzu Is A Lovely Zelda-Inspired Adventure That's Playable On Game Boy
Well I grabbed it. We'll see if it's decent. Should be playing soon since I'm at the tail end if Pepper Grinder.
Re: Kudzu Is A Lovely Zelda-Inspired Adventure That's Playable On Game Boy
Curious to see how the game does. Hopefully NL can review it.
Re: Best Final Fantasy Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems
@the_beaver I didn't like VI myself either. I enjoyed IV much more than VI. I Still need to try V though. 7 and 9 are my top picks personally.
Re: Community: What's The Best Switch eShop Game We Missed? (March 2024)
Crypt Stalker was such a nice gem for the price and quality. Highly recommended. 3 campaigns included, albeit short ones. Still a rocking time.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For April And May 2024

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th March)
For the most part, Spider-Man Miles Morales on PS4, and Diablo IV on xbox. Sparingly, I've been playing PM: Color Splash.
Re: Review: Pepper Grinder (Switch) - A Cracking Platformer That Drills Down & Strikes Gold
I'll grab this down the road.
