Hello Everyone,

This week passed way too quickly. It seems like I didn’t do much. There aren’t any significant updates form my side.

Still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, thought I would be able to finish it but I couldn’t. So, no changes here.

In non-nintendo gaming, still playing the same games, without much change:

  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge
  • Monster Hunter: World
  • Marvel’s Avengers

For Marvel’s Avengers, the game started strong, but went downhill quickly due to all the Live Service elements. It could’ve been a fun game if they had stuck with single player. I am near the end of main campaign, and will delete it as soon as I complete it. Probably just need 2-3 hours more.

That’s all from my side, what about you guys? What are you playing? And how are you enjoying it?

      Nice, how are you enjoying it? I have a friend who wants to play it co-op, but I want to play the first one first.

        For BotW: I’m just to Zora’s Domain. Got wrecked by a Lynel a couple of times trying to get some shock arrows for the Vah Ruta fight.

        Pikmin: haven’t picked it up yet.

          Ooh, I hated Lynels, there were couple that you had to kill for a quest or something, if I remember correctly, but in general, if I saw the Lynel, I just ran away.

    Okay let’s try again now I’m actually commenting on the relevant week post …

    Planning to try and complete paper Mario 64 on nso ( currently on chapter 5 ) . Recently got my GameCube repaired and modded so will most likely move onto the thousand year door next.

    Also just bought gunfire reborn on steam and have been enjoying that .

      Hey! Welcome to this week’s post!

      How long is Paper Mario 64? (I haven’t started it yet) Just wondering how far along Chapter 5 means.

      I have heard so much about Thousand Year Door, really wish they would port it to NSO too.

      Never heard of Gunfire Reborn, will look it up.

        There’s 8 chapters in total it just breaks the game down into sections to make it feel more like a paper book. So it’s probably like 2/3 of the way through . The chapters are different lengths so it’s not the greatest indicator.

        Ive played about 8 hours.

        The thousand year door is my favourite game on the GameCube and my favourite in the series

          Ah, interesting. Thanks for the info. I am thinking about starting it soon-ish.

          As for Thousand Year Door, I have seen pretty much the same sentiments from everyone. So really hope they bring it to NSO too. I would even happily take a remake like Super Mario RPG.

      How are you enjoying Tears of the Kingdom and how far along are you?

      As for Mario Maker 2, have you made any levels. or just playing them? I am wondering how fun it will be to get the game if I only want to play the levels, without creating anything.

        @slimerancher I’ve been playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for about 45 hours, I haven’t dedicated myself to doing the main missions, from what I’ve been playing it seems like an excellent and high-quality game

          @slimerancher and as for mario maker 2, i dedicate myself exclusively to playing community games, every time i play it surprises me with some new mechanic, it’s an endless game. And you have levels made by you?

            I haven’t actually played it yet. I am thinking about getting New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe first. There are so many games to play, and so little time.

              @slimerancher I understand you perfectly, I have a list of pending video games and I haven’t been able to finish them due to time. but super mario bros U Deluxe is an excellent game, it is much more enjoyable in the company of friends.

          It really is a very high quality and excellent game! Glad you are enjoying it.

          Have you visited all the sky towers yet? Or just doing random exploring?

            @slimerancher Yes! It is a wonderful game, and in response to your question, I am exploring the game in no specific order, I am letting myself be carried away by its world and its islands in the sky.

      Congratulations! Welcome to the Nintendo Family!

      Animal Crossing is a very addicting game, if you like these kind of games. Even my non-gamer wife has over 150 hours in it.

      Oooh, starting BotW for the first time. Enjoy the experience!

        The characters are ok, though I really like the tracks. I ended up not playing it though because I can’t figure out how to link my Pretendo account on Wii u

    I’m a week into Tears of the Kingdom and slowly unearthing my dormant skills from BotW. I don’t remember basic enemies being as strong as they are, or else I missed something about gaining stronger armor/defense. Plugging away and will get better over time, though.

        Never played a Pikmin before. From the stories I’ve been told this game is more laid back than the previous ones. The exploration is very fun though!

          Yeah, that’s what I heard too. Though I did play Pikmin 3 demo a bit and enjoyed it. Haven’t gotten around to playing it yet though.

          Do share your opinions on it when you have played enough to make up your mind.

    I’ve been mainly playing Zelda and ignoring main quests as much as I can. But this weekend I’ll play the new splatfest in splatoon

      Splatoon is one of those game that I really want to play, but never end up getting it cause I don’t play multiplayer much, and don’t have any friends who are interested in playing it.

      How are you enjoying it? Do yo play it with friends or just random players?

      As for Zelda, I was doing mix of main quest and exploration, but have recently jumped straight into the main quest, want to know the full story! 😀

        I was the same about splatoon initially. I rarely play any multiplayer games so I was a bit sceptical at first. But gameplay looked fun so I decided to give it a try and it was a blast. I have so much fun playing it even though I am relatively bad at it. I play with randos because I don’t know a single person irl who has a switch besides a coworker of mine. He doesn’t play splatoon btw.

        As for Zelda, I am going in waves. Did the first sky island and then a bunch of exploration, then decided to dive into the story and collected all the memories and did 2 temples, I then returned to random exploration until I tried to do both last temples but I gave up midway as I got sidetracked by other stuff.

          Off topic, but how do you find using mastodon account to follow lemmy communities, isn’t the noise level too high?

            @slimerancher i dont know what noise would mean in this context? (im sorry english is not my first lenguage) but honestly just looks like a normal post to me :O

              By noise I mean, do you get too much posts from lemmy, that makes it difficult to see other non-lemmy content?

              Lemmy has a different interface, so even with 100s of comments, it doesn’t feel bad, but mastodon can get a bit overwhelming, with too many comments. At least, that is my experience.

              So, I was wondering, if it feels fine to you?

      I haven’t actually. I was playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 when they shadow dropped it, and now playing Tears of the Kingdom. It’s very high on my list though. Will probably play it within this year.

      Have you played the original? Or remake is the first time you are experiencing it?

        Oh nice! I’ve never played a Xenoblade game and have been really curious about 3. And Prime is what I jumped to after TOTK.

        I played the original Prime in high school, but just did not have the skills or awareness to get anywhere with it, so while I remember it vaguely, this might as well be the first time I’ve played it haha.

          I think if you want to play Xenoblade, you should start with 1. There wasn’t any direct connection between these games before, but with 3, there is. That being said, 3 is the best one in my opinion.

          Ah, that’s great. Have fun

            Yeah I think the premise of 3 was the most appealing to me of the bunch.

            Can physical copies of 1 still be found easily?

        Yeah, I have been hearing rumours about Prime trilogy remasters for so long and was hoping for their release before Prime 4. Fortunately we got Prime 1 remaster, hope they do the same for 2 and 3.

        Want to play the whole trilogy before Prime 4.

    I want to try out the Pikmin 4 demo and finally launch Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. I bought it ages ago, but haven’t even tried it yet. I have a disgusting backlog. But this weekend, I want to give my Switch some love.

      Well, I have stopped impulse buying of games. No matter how many good or great sales pass me by, I don’t buy a game, until I reach the point where I say, “I’ll play this game next”.

      Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a great game BTW, highly recommended. If you like it, also get the DLC.
