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?

Finally finishing up Code:Realize! I also bought Collar x Malice and am excited to start that .
I have heard a lot about Code:Realize (or well, some game with Code: in it). How was it?
It’s great! Story is A+ and the men are cute. Win/win!
Haha, don’t care much about cute men, but if I get into VNs, will check it out for the story.
Just bought the Escapist 2 because my niece wanted to play it with me online. In all honesty I am not that interested in it but it was 5€ on discount, so it’s not a huge loss 😅
Fun time with niece. I would say its worth it!
How is the game? Is there a story?
Don’t know, haven’t played it yet 😅
Haha, no worries. Update us in one of these threads whenever you do. 😀
Playing Advance Wars. I finished the first campaign couple days ago and now I’m trying to get the 100%
Nice. How long was the campaign? And what else do you need to do to get to 100%?
The first campaign took me 9.5h according to the in- game clock but I believe only counts battle time so it should be 10-11h real time.
To get the 100% you have to beat every mission on the map. There is one that’s hidden. Rank and score is irrelevant for 100%.
Ah, interesting.
Thanks for the info.
I keep playing TotK. I’ve done a few more shrines, caves and got the Master Sword.
Also, for some reason I got Sonic Origin Plus and finished the first Sonic game. I grew up with Nintendo and only rarely played Sonic at friends’ house. It’s not the first time I play it, but definitely the first time I finish it. I feel like this game had so much potential, but the level design is pretty bad, and ends up being the poor man’s Mario. It’s still fun at times, but I hope Sonic 2, Knuckles and CD get better.
What? I haven’t gotten the Master Sword yet!
I grew up with Sega, and have played the Sonic 1 and 2 about a gazillion times and I am still not sure how you are supposed to play them? Are you supposed to keep running? Or play it slow and steady? I really like Sonic and Tails as the characters though.
I won’t spoil it, but based on previous comments I think you have the requirements to get the Master Sword. DM me if you want me to point you in the direction in a not too spoilery way 😅
I’m so glad someone who grew up with Sega thinks similar about Sonic! It’s a sanity check for me. I thought “maybe I’m too biased and expect this to be Mario when it’s clearly not Mario”. But I’m not, and I don’t. I play many different kinds of games and I’m not expecting Sonic to be Mario. But it’s a game that’s all about “going fast”. However, if you go fast, you’re punished with awkwardly placed enemies or obstacles which completely ruin the flow of each level. And Sonic is agile only when doing the spin or running for a while. When you’re trying to go slow and steady, he’s extremely slow and clunky. I understand there’s a “faster/better” path on the high levels and slower path on the lower levels, but it still doesn’t work as one would expect.
I started Sonic 2 and it’s not much better. And as I said, there’s lots of potential. It seems like an issue with level design, where they didn’t do much play testing and just put things randomly around the level. I’m still going to finish 2 and probably continue with 3 and Sonic CD. I hope there’s a progression in level design in newer installments. I’m going to go back to Sonic Mania after this too, see how that one feels after playing the originals. Sonic Superstars looks pretty cool, I’m hoping it’s fun and uses the potential I’m seeing in these 2D Sonic games!
Oh, and forgot to mention that I found out about the sword. I am there now, let’s see if I get it or they send me somewhere else.
I haven’t played Sonic Mania, but it has been highly regarded for being similar to older games, like 1 and 2, so not sure about the level design.
I would love to see your review after playing Sonic Mania, if it’s like 1 and 2, it just means we are the odd ones who don’t know how to play Sonic games.
As for Sonic Superstars, it looks great, and I am looking forward to it. Let’s hope it’s as fun to play as it looks.
I’ve been trying out the Pikmin 4 demo. I’m not totally sold on it just yet.
Is this your first Pikmin? Or have you played the previous ones?
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.
Also slowly wrapping up TotK, trying to savor it as I wrap up final shrines and things. Besides that I’ve started another run of Minish Cap in the virtual GBA which is a blast. Messing around with Infinite Fusion has also been really fun
Oooh, I didn’t notice Minish Cap is on NSO, will give it a try too. How is the game compared to Link’s Awakening?
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.
I’m the same. I either forgot all my skills or enemies are harder, since I keep losing sometimes, even with almost 90 hours played…
Finishing up Pikmin 2 endgame before 4 comes out in a couple weeks
Nice! How long was Pikmin 2? And are you going to play Pikmin 3 or already played it before?
About 10 hours I think to credits, but there’s a whole 4th area you don’t even unlock until finishing the game, so I’m still working through that. I played Pikmin 3 when it came out on Wii U and then again when it came out on switch, so I’m all set there
I just did the same! Was surprised to see the fourth area after the credits rolled. Having tons of fun with Pikmin 2, very excited to play 3 and 4 when it comes out!
Play all four games back to back? Won’t that cause a bit of burn out?
Ah cool. Thanks for the info.
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.
Glad to know you are enjoying Splatoon. If I ever get around to getting it, will give you a shout.
@slimerancher @Dougas i play splatoon with ramdom player! sometimes is a bit frustrating but mostly super fun :)
Nice. Glad you are enjoying it!
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?
@slimerancher now that you mention it i can see it! but i feel like a follow enough communities that it doesnt get that bad, but it does show irrelevant content sometimes o:
Ah. Hope I didn’t made your experience worse by bringing your attention to it. 😃
Same here! Just started TotK
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.
… I impulse bought the DLC 😅🥲🥲
Haha, good choice.
Ori and the will of the wisps
I really need to play it one of these days.
How are you enjoying the game?
@slimerancher primero zelda tears of the kingdom y después mario maker 2
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.
Yeah, I’ll probably play it with kids and wife. Thanks!
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.
Nice! That’s a great way to play.
Keep having fun!
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.
I honestly don’t know.
Finished the pack of VNs I was playing previously and now I’m trying to decide which game from my gigantic backlog is next.
Going for more VNs or something else?
It’s a possibility, a got a few lined up to play. But I played three of these recently so I might need a break.
Probably some BotW and maybe trying the Pikmin demo.
Nice! How far along are you in the game? And how are you enjoying it?
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.
