Resident Evil Requiem on the Switch 2 in a dark room.

Early days but the Switch 2 version of Resi 9 is great! A couple of low textures here and there (like on interactable items) and everyone's hair looks like it's made of straw, but overall it's fantastic having this be a genuinely viable option for games like this.

I need to see final evolutions, but I keep switching between Browt and Pombon. May go with the latter.

It looks lovely, and they're giving it the dev time these games have sorely needed. But we didn't see any gameplay to be able to answer the question properly.

Good signs though.

Let's see how good the Switch 2 really is.

I was similar. I finished it but felt a bit disconnected while playing. Like I was playing on for the sake of it.

I found it best to play while extremely tired.

The Pokemon, a Shiny Tyrantrum standing over a coffee table.

Got my shiny Trex and all he wants is my macarons!

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 art.

Pre-ordered Mario Galaxy 1+2 (physical).

It is a bit too expensive but I have a weakness for these games and I've wanted to play an HD version of MG2 for years.

The only difference for MG1 over All Stars will be 4k and minor texture improvements. But it will still be the best way to play the game.

Pokemon Pokopia...looked like Animal Crossing with maybe Viva Pinata in terms of adapting the area to attract new Pokemon?

Need to see more but if they execute this well it could be very interesting.

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 bundle gave me everything I needed from that. Was happy with the whole direct after 5 minutes.

The new Perfect Dark was cancelled? How many years was that in development for....what a waste.

Struggled with this for years. Probably is from a fairly healthy part of the brain telling you to be more productive 😅

Is why I mainly play at nighttime, or in the day if I know I have other stuff to do later.

Two weeks with Mario Kart World.

Overall...it's right up there! Wasn't sure on the intermissions but they keep things fresh and vary play. Knockout Tour is exceptional! Great offline but an absolute scrap online!

Some odd decisions (why limit Knockout to 8 routes?) but overall an exceptional game.

Wasn't sure if I wanted Resident Evil 9 to be first or third person, so the fact that you can play in either is perfect!

Will likely default to first person and on subsequent playthroughs switch to third.

Almost never jump from one game in a series to another. Nearly always play something else inbetween.

I felt that at first but he eventually wore my defences down. Then I found myself just finding his quirkiness endearing.

Yeah I've felt this a fair few times! Felt awkward being asked it as I had nothing big to offer.

Very much looking forward to the Persona 4 remake. Only played it in 2021 but really liked the story and the setting.

The dungeons were by far the weakest aspect of it, and presumably the remake can solve that.

A shame we got limited footage and no date, but I guess it's just not ready yet.

Can't believe there will be a new Super Meat Boy!

I gave up hope on that about 10 years ago!

With a Jill profile picture you absolutely are allowed to talk about it all the time 😄

Ok that Resident Evil 9 trailer did look pretty damn good!

Definitely leant onto the horror vibes which I really welcome! Hopefully it stays that way.

New protagonist is a plus for me too!

Tried Pokemon Scarlet as well.

It is soo much smoother. Very few frame drops (though felt the odd stutter). Pop in's better but still there. A lot more Pokemon are spawning, Shiny hunting will be easier.

Overall it doesn't quite make it feel like a new game, but is much nicer to play.

Yeah it's great to see! Love the enthusiasm so far!

Can't play until after work but I transfered data etc at lunch.

Early thoughts:
Joycons so much better!
The screen looks so nice and crisp.
Data transfer from Switch 1 to 2 was about 7 mins.
It auto-queues your games to redownload.
The NSO library is so clean.

Whole setup is prob 20 mins.

Nintendo Switch 2 Console out of its box.

It is here!

Really hyped for it! I think the world looks amazing and it's good they're really doing something different with it this time.

This is why I held off from going with them despite finding stock with them first.

Been on Blue Prince the last few weeks! On day 88ish now. So far...

Room 46 on Day 43.
Current: 7 Keys and 3 solved.
3 safes opened.
Allowance: 61.

Took me about 30 days to realise you could autofil the computer password (PS5).

Currently experimenting moving a certain room elsewhere...

Finished You...the show had become so ridiculous last season that I watched this almost inspite of itself.

It was OK.. They genuinely tried this season. It was at its best when it wasn't handcuffed by the previous season.

The finale was genuinely quite good. Just stripped it back to what mattered.

Debating treating Tears of the Kingdom as a Switch 2 launch title and having a second run-through.

I much preferred BotW (exploration and curiosity is more interesting than busywork) but it's as good an excuse as any to revisit it. Hopefully it could click more for me a second time around.

You spend more time fighting bosses than playing levels. Was so disappointing compared to Wonder.
