Really enjoyed Crow Country. Solid mix of old and new with the control scheme and visuals. The length of the game was great given I kept wanting to see what happened next and the story was interesting given it's premise. Solid title

As October is here figured I'd start some Halloween Gaming and started slow with Oxenfree 2. Not that spooky but liked the art direction and design. Forgot how slow the characters walked/run though

That sounds amazing I got whatever TV my dad and grandpa got me so in grateful but PC monitor otherwise is the "gamer set up".

Beat story mode of Splatoon Raiders. Really liked the game. There's still plenty of post game stuff to still do and love the gadget system and tank system to the point I want to experiment and play more and see enemies Salmanoids perish as number go up in ALL the ink!

Just need to find a blu ray drive. Hopefully they will manufacture them? At a reasonable price

That's fine, my switch 2 isn't that far from me getting up and currently do that when using my switch 1 pro controller

I'll just wait on a discount for an 8bitdo ultimate so it can do switch 2 and pc

Beat Born of Bread. A turn based RPG reminiscing of Paper Mario. It sadly isn't as polished as I'd like but it's made by French Canadians and loved the art style and aside from some glitches it was serviceable !

Yep. At least my rig is covered for a good time or I just go switch 2 route...but micro ss express cards still absurd for prices and so many third party games go the game key card route :/

Finally beat Kirby Tilt N Tumble after renting it way back when. This image got a laugh out of me but also describes my experience playing it in modern times. Can't tell if just due to skill issues size of a GBC vs switch2 or how modern gyro tech has evolved but game had less control than I remember

Beat Cyberpunk 2077. Hair with the ending I got all things considered. Honestly, happy the game bounced back from the mess it was in back in 2020

I hated how I was pretty awful at controlling in one particular section. The rest of the game was great and felt I could do decent performance except for that one spot where I couldn't seem to lock in

sumguy188.bsky.social @sumguy188.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Oof and think Xbox ones are harder to repair which is why I didn't take a stab at it. Time to get an 8bitdo one I guess those are supposed to be decent

sumguy188.bsky.social @sumguy188.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Technically it's an allegations so they'll need proof. But yeah there's only 3 companies supplying it anyways so it's an awful circumstance either way

sumguy188.bsky.social @sumguy188.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Wild to see all the 3rd parties bring their games to Switch 2 alongside the 1st parties. However, not happy that micro SD Express cards are still incredibly pricy and likely a necessity when the majority of the games going to be digital or Game Key Card :/

Beat the first Paranormsight game. Was pretty fun. More mystery than spooky though. Will definitely consider the sequel at some point

Beat Plucky Squire. Liked the art style and it had some neat concept but it felt like it missed something that kept it from being great instead of good. Perhaps maybe too sloggish at the beginning? Overall solid 3/5 to me.

Beat story mode of DK.Bananza and it was pretty fun. Happy it wasn't just a repaint of Mario Odyssey and kinda crazy how fluid the game felt and played throughout.

I'm slightly disappointed it's not a new story and another retelling of 64. I know it's been a while but feel like I played the 3ds version not that long ago, plus star fox zero on wood u was also a retelling of 64 right?

Its been on radar but got backlog to deal with. Plenty of 2026 games on radar tho with that being one of em

It's like the Internet of old! Alternatively, a lot of shows get cut up and turned into tik tok shorts so some people end up watching episodes via shorts so yay!?

I really liked Startropics. Pretty impressive given it was on a NES. That said modern features like rewind definitely made me feel better after silly deaths and traps

Ugh, Unbeatable feels too mixed for me. The music was great, artstyle is solid, the music-based gameplay is fun too but weird pacing with the story, weird platforming, and maybe TOO much visual flair during story--music gameplay made getting to the payoffs so uneven. Love the arcade mode though.

Beat Kirby Dream Land 2 and even got the rainbow drops. Some of these were surprisingly tricky to grab in terms of sequencing needed. Also would to consider the sequel came to Gameboy and not like NES or SNES

Played the Gunk on Steam Deck and had a fun time. Will say game had mild stutters when too much Gunk on the screen. Overall reminded me of like Ratchet & Clank meets Luigi's Mansion vacuum with more emphasis on platforming and mild puzzle solving.

Figured while I had NSO to try out some other games. Did some gems I never tried like Mappy-Land, Ninja JamJamMaru & Joy Mech Fight (pictured below) Wish Nintendo Switch Online put effort into translating Joy Mech Fight. Would've made knowing controls easier.

Nooo, typo. Anyhow game beat on Switch 2. super pretty, feels like the Prime games mechanically but like a 3/5

000

sumguy188.bsky.social @sumguy188.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

So the game definitely felt like it was meant to ocme out in the early 2000s. There were two fetch like quests required to progress story and the final boss felt kinda inconsequential the plot really. I am quite curious at the exact tale of how this game got developed as theres prob a story there.

Yet oddly enough this gen been "did you wait? guess what console prices went UP". Wild to think time line between N64 and Gamecube was like 5 years or so. Now I feel like with how long games take to make it doesn't seem worth it
