video game Nintendo Base | Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (9/24); Metroid Prime 4 trailer (2025)

I'm sad we don't have another hot Zaddy to play, but she's a QUEEN too  

I literally SUCK at these sorts of games, and yet Hades is in my T10 Switch games 

According to the Devs FAQ, it seems like the game ain't anywhere close tho  

 

 

FE:Engage looks laughable  Can't believe they took 3.5 years to only pour bleach on FE3H's seeds

XC3 teas  but at least i was interested enough to actually play XC3

 

 

XC2 → XC3

FE3H → FE:Engage

PLA → SV

I fear BOTW → BOTW2 is next  they took too long, reused the same map, & too many competitors came out. It's gonna be so hard to live up to the hype... prove me wrong with the Q1 Direct Nintendo pls.

 

Octopath → Octopath 2 looks like a slay tho

You better not curse it.

Tbf I don't mind them reusing the BOTW map because of how empty it was, there's just so much to add.  We need the Switch Pro though for the love of god.

My T10 Switch games

1. BOTW

2. PLA

3. FE3H = Triangle = Octopath

6. Portal = NieR

8. XC2

9. Hades

10. Violet

 

Half from 2022  I was sure P5R was gonna slay, but it turned out so boring

2023 competitors: TOTK, OT2, Hogwarts, Blanc, OuterWilds

Yeah idm either. I was very pro reuse world, & serve Majora. But taking 6.25 yrs, while reusing BOTW's world, & physics engine is killing my hype when HZD → HFW was able to build an entirely new world. Plus from what they've shown, the new Hyrule don't look all that  I hope this is a case of Aonuma only showing 1% to have that BOTW size shock, & not some development hell  After 6 yrs, there better be a Sky, Underground, & Underwater

I was suspecting an underground world, but I didn’t imagine underwater. If it does end up being BOTW 1.5...  Reusing the same engine is a Big Miss Steak though especially if they’re planning to show off their updated console.  Bring out the new Switch with DLSS and ray tracing, we deserve a leap in graphics.  Genshin Impact should not be looking like the better game after all these years and that game’s literally on mobile.

Wait. The gap between BotW and TotK will be SIX years?

GOTY was ROBBED

 

 

I got CHILLS all over my body  

 

 

 

 

[Eóghan]

Holy **** at 'Hades 2'  lowkey made my month

 

Not them taking a page out of Hollow Knight's book though with the switch to a female protagonist for the sequel. 'Silksong' isn't even out, the impact already

You can't rush perfection.

Question - is Bayonetta 3 worth the play? I've seen bits and pieces and it seems interesting. I've played a smidge of the first one and I died like 500 times

2. Bravely Default II (super repetitive)
3. Naruto Shippuden Storm (the regular Ultimate Ninja games were way better)

4. Super Mario Party

5. Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee

6. Luigi’s Mansion 3 (didn’t play it very long)

 

[feelslikeadream]

If I included any game I played on Switch, Hollow Knight would be #1 tbh.

It’s an exciting and innovative game but I had way more fun with Galaxy which is the peak of the series I fear

[touchofmyhand]

1 XC2

2 BOTW

3 Octopath Traveler

4 Triangle Strategy

5 XC:DE

6 Hades

7 Mario Rabbids (definitely not the 2nd one)

8 Age of Calamity

 

I’ve played most of the games on Switch so if your fave did not make it, it’s for a reason.

Finally got my hands on a copy of Persona 5 for next to nothing on Amazon Italy. Thank you EU.

Although I'm slightly worried now that @Magickarp didn't care for it, our taste usually align. What didn't you like about it? what made you give up?

Nnn i wouldn't look too much into it. I just didn't vibe with the combat much, or think the story to be all that. I did the game up till the 2nd major boss was revealed, & decided to Reddit if the story gets better, & read that the 1st major boss had the best story. So that made me decide to put P5R aside for now. I think most people would like the story though, so i wouldn't worry about that; & I still think it's one of the best artstyles / aesthetics on the Switch. It pulls it off so well ?.
