I just got the Castlevania Collection on the eShop for an 80% discount. A lot of Castlevania games are discounted just now in celebration of its anniversary, in case anyone’s been waiting for a sale. I usually only buy digital when it’s this cheap! (£ 3.19!). I’ll probably replay some Castlevania titles then. I’m particularly looking forward to replaying Kid Dracula in English!

I’ve also been playing a bit of High on Life on Switch 2. I like the kind of humour, but the game hasn’t hooked me yet.

Let the hype begin!!!

I got stuck fighting killer whales, I think either they were overpowered or I have to level up a bit more 😅 Maybe I’ll get back to it too…

I really like the first one on Switch, definitely getting this one if there’s a proper physical release on Switch 2!

I like what they did in Mega Man 11 with the gears system. In this one the Override system can be interesting, and there’s also playing with Proto Man which should have totally different abilities. I wonder if Capcom’s been looking at what others have been doing in the genre.

Yes, cynically I think it’s a cheap way for studios to make a game addictive without adding a lot of content. It extends the length of the game, but you’re just grinding, doing the same over and over. I do appreciate a lot of people enjoy this, but they’re not for me, and I still suspect a lot of studios are just leaning on the genre for the wrong reasons.

I’m so sick of “roguelikes” 😆

Cities: Skylines is my most played game on Steam. This is 100% true for me:

It’s a city-builder you pick up for five minutes and suddenly it’s tomorrow.

I think Lego lends itself very well for a city builder, so this will be interesting. The only worry is if it can run well when you have a massive city.

The big sprites look amazing, wish I could play this on an arcade machine 😁

Agreed! The amount of good quality games coming out in the genre is great.

It’s definitely happening, I’m sure 😁

I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they released more DLC

This is a really fun game, the reviews are mostly positive. I’ve been playing it for review and had a lot of fun with it (my review for the Switch 2 in Spanish). Definitely recommended.

Just give us games in a cart!

I played this on Famicom and it’s an amazing game. Nice to get both the Japanese & International versions as weel as rewind on more modern consoles.

It says somewhere in the review, the main story takes about 10 hours, but there’s lots of replayability!

Regarding text chat, it’d be cool to be able to send a text message I guess. Like invite someone to a game! But all of the Online seems weird. In some games you need a PhD to figure out how to set up a game with a friend!

I’ve decided to finally get a Switch 2

Just to reuse the GIF I made 😆

Star Fox is so good on Switch 2!

I second the names for Yoshi, always fun to read!

No new Star Fox amiibo yet, but you can unlock customizations for your online badge with the Smash Bros Fox, Falco and Wolf amiibo.

Loved the game, finally understanding why people care so much about the series. Hoping for a new entry in the series now!

I finished the main story in Denshattack! and replayed a few more tracks to get better achievements. It’s a really fun original game!

During the week I played Mario Kart online with two different friends. One of them also has a Switch 2, so we played Mario Kart World and we tried out Game Chat for the first time. It’s kind of convenient, you can talk through bluetooth headphones with your Switch 2 and don’t need to have your phone around. I guess other consoles and PC have had this forever, but still convenient. Will be fun in different games if we use a camera (definitely for Star Fox with the AR features!). I also played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I really like that game, been playing it since the Wii U and I still think I prefer it over World… No idea what I’ll be playing during the weekend!

It was founded by ex Capcom staff, so there’s probably some still left there.
