Last weekend I finally played Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind in local co-op and we finished it. It was really good, the different gameplay stages make it very fun. From the modern beat em ups, it's the one that's made me feel the most like I was playing Super Nintendo in the 90's. Hope Digital Eclipse keeps making their own games in parallel with the compilations of retro stuff, I love all of it 😁

I got all the shrines in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and beat Ganondorf. The final battle was pretty spectacular, I liked it. I don't know if I'll be back to Hyrule any time soon, I feel like I've neglected my other games, but there's side stuff I can still have fun with.

How useful is the app?

I mostly use the Navigation feature. You can choose what you want it to display: Shrines, cave entrances, stone tablets, etc. And it shows the ones you haven't discovered, so that's the main thing for me. The feature that tells you where to go like a GPS is not that useful. If there's a cave entrance close to a shrine, it's usually going to be in that cave. It does tell you to go to the cave entrance if you activate it too, in case you're lost.

I vote for DK, since I’ll be getting that too. 😀

I'm not 100% convinced with DK. The Direct made it look awesome, but in my mind I'm relating it too much to my experience with Mario Odyssey. That game was ok, but it didn't feel so much like a Mario to me. I prefer 3D Land and 3D World + Bowser's Fury, the Galaxies, and any 2D Mario. It looked really fun, but I didn't have that much fun myself. I've gone back to Wonder and 3D World, but not to Odyssey.

Also Cyberpunk looks amazing and it's a third party full game on the cart, so I want to support them!

I'll need to decide...

I've been playing mostly The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I want to do all the 152 shrines before I go back to finish the main story. I'm at 136, so only a few more to go. I've been using the Nintendo Switch App with the navigation to have a look at the map and see where the shrines I'm missing are. They've been mostly inside caves so far.

After I'm done with Zelda, I need to decide if I'm getting Cyberpunk or Donkey Kong as my next big game 🤔

Yeah, I didn't get that either. It looks the same to me?

Same. At times I think it's genius, then I think it's utterly ridiculous, maybe it's both 😆

Yeah they said "this winter" in the Direct and it's on the Nintendo.com website. I assumed that meant they didn't have the confidence to say 2025. Or maybe they just have the flexibility in case other things don't fall into place. Either way, I can't wait for new Hyrule Warriors on Switch 2!

Hyrule Warriors is expected "this winter", so it could slip into next year.

I'm thinking Kirby Air Riders and Metroid will be November and December (don't know in what order), to have a big Christmas title, but I have no idea 🤔

🤣

Congratulations on the Switch 2!

I've made the mistake of trying The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 enhanced editions... So now I'm playing TotK again. I think in regards to the main story, I'm probably close to the ending. But I've been just enjoying stuff and not rushed to finish it. Initially I thought "what's the big deal with these updates? I can't even notice a difference". It turns out you have to manually go to the eShop and download them 😅 Once I installed the "Switch 2 Enhanced edition", I could definitely notice the difference! It does feel like a whole new experience on the Switch 2. My current objective is to get all the shrines, but -as usual- I get distracted constantly with side quests and discovering things I haven't seen yet. It's such a good game! And it plays amazing on the Switch 2.

I've been playing Mario Kart World and enjoying it. Online races are wild! Though I haven't checked out the recent update yet. I also went back to Mario Kart 8 for some online with a friend. I need to do some more of the Knockout Tour stuff, but it's also really fun to replay GP and go on Free Roam mode.

I also got Fast Fusion and I need to check out the latest update!

The video shows the Nintendo Switch logo at the end.

This looks so cool, I think I'll need to get a Summercart or something so I can play it!

The gameplay trailers for this look really good. It seems like the physical release will be the full game on the cart and not "Game Key", so I might be getting it 🤔

They're also adding documentary material to learn more about its history and the behind the scenes. Based on previous work by Digital Eclipse, it'll be worth it!

Personally I own them on GOG too, but I haven't figured out how to make them work fullscreen on Linux. And I prefer gaming on the couch in the TV or take the Switch with me anyway.

Yes! I had chocolate and orange cake. The pen stand was a pre-order bonus for DK Returns HD. Disappointed they're not doing anything for DK Bananza 😑

It was the same for me! I thought it looked interesting from what we had seen before, but I wasn't convinced. It looked like the concept was fun, but there wouldn't be enough to keep you entertained for long.

After watching the Direct, I'm definitely getting this on release day too! I also got some Zelda vibes, like I could spend a lot of time exploring the different stages (as I do in BotW and TotK).

That Mario Artist like mini-game with the sculptures looks like a fun time sink!

Cake's been acquired

No, I wasn't that interested in the last one because of that style. But this one looks way more fun to me!

Thank you! Guess I'll have to go get some cake 😁

This looks pretty cool!

Thanks! Yeah I don't plan to get rid of my Switch either. Mario Kart 8 and World are different enough that I think I will keep playing both. But I still play Mario Kart 64 too, so maybe I'm not a good example for this kind of thing!

Age of Calamity has so much content, I don't even know how far I am from 100% 😅 Every time I complete a thing, a few more show up on the map. I finished the main story and did plenty of the smaller quests, but I still have so many to go. And I'm at almost 40 hours in this new save file.
