re: Nintendo Switch 2 Games & System Discussion

I've had Bananza for nearly a week and have only played it for about 20 minutes. Fantasy Life i has been much more engaging. I'm about 10H into that one.

which is rumored to either be Super Mario Kingdom (would be Mario’s Breath of the Wild)

That would be my trigger to buy the Switch 2.

Super Mario Universe (successor to the Galaxy series)

I was not a fan of Galaxy. I know people loved it, but I didn't really love running around the spheres and hated the motion controls. It might be because I only played it on Super Mario Allstars on the Switch. Maybe the original console version was easier to manage.

I'm not even sure how the game would work on the switch, at least not easily. So much of the game is based on the wiimote aiming at stuff on the screen. I can see why the experience/gameplay on the switch would be a pain.

But yea, loved both of the galaxy games. I still have the wii and wiiu just to play a lot of the first party gamecube and wii games.

DK Bonanza is excellent for the most part. It feels more like a Mario game with some inspiration from BotW (shrines). It does get a bit repetitive and kind of goes on too long to the point where the novelty starts to wear off.

Mario Kart is basically Nintendo's Madden at this point. Would not have bothered with it if it wasn't the pack in title. They shot their wad with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Nintendo is going to have their work cut out for them to catch up. The inevitable Switch 2 Smash Bros will have the same issue. The "open-world" is a net negative and drags the game down in multiple ways.

I played the demo for Wild Hearts S and it was the first game that really reminded me that I am playing a Switch. Take that for what you will.

I am currently trying to decide between the Bravely Default Remaster and Guardians of Azuma.

Anybody else downlad the demo of Elliot

Pretty good game, giving me 2D zelda vibes, definitely prefer this style over octopath

DK Bananza takes a couple of hours to get going, but once it does - it is a ton of fun.

You have to get 102, get Pauline, Bananzas and unlock some of your special powers, but it's fantastic.
