I’m not sure if this one was mentioned here, but ANNO: Mutationem is a great game! My daughter and I have been playing it a ton.
It’s basically a classic style adventure game, but all the combat is side-scrolling, and feels as good as any recent action platformer or MetVan style game.
The adventuring component is like many classics, talk to everyone, explore, find items, upgrade, etc. They mixed the two styles of play very well.
It’s got an anime aesthetic, but even if that’s not your thing, it’s absolutely gorgeous, and Cyberpunk themed, so that aspect doesn’t play too much into things, except the occasional squeaky girl voice from an NPC, and the ability to buy gigantic swords if you want them.
Gadget for switch has some unique features : a timer in which you have to finish a beat, starting with a random instrument. And you can do this with four friends and four instruments simultaneously.
It’s switch exclusive. I have gadget on ios and on Mac too and those lack the coop gamification.
Here’s an example of split screen play, so each can have their own instrument, but you can also do it on a single screen and with Internet rando’s.
I don’t know if anyone’s played it yet, but Haiku the Robot is ridiculously cool! The sound design is quite impressive, the atmosphere is amazing, and it just instantly pulls one in. I would say it’s similar to Hollow Knight in this way, but not nearly as difficult, and as different a setting as could be. But it has similar mechanics in a lot of ways. I wasn’t sure that I’d like the aesthetic right away, but it really couldn’t be cooler, and something about the character design really speaks to me.
Loving Splatoon 3 so far. My first time playing an entry in the series and it’s a blast. So much so, that my daughter keeps bugging me to play so she can watch the online Turf Wars lol
Just started playing Narita Boy yesterday (its on sale in the e-shop at the moment). Music, graphics and presentation are right up my alley. Gameplay is nothing special so far, but still enjoyable.
Yeah 100% underwhelming Direct. Barely rescued by the BOTW2 news at the end there, although I momentarily forgot they were using the US date system and thought it was coming in December
I kinda liked it. Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Theatrhythm, Bayonetta gameplay trailer, Return to Dreamland remake, all cool games. I wish there was something about Metroid though.
I want Metroid Prime, Zelda WW and F-zero…to be Honest I think I can smell what is coming. Gamecube Subscribtion. But I don‘t like this everything subscribtion crap.
Half of the Big Switch Games are still from the Wii U und the Switch is out for 5 Years. Whats going on there?
I think it‘s time to hack the switch and just put a few Emulators on it. Willing to pay, but if companys just don‘t get it…
Agreed. There were certainly titles I would have liked to have see in the direct (Wind Waker, Metroid, etc), but it wasn’t totally disappointing. New fire emblem, Kirby remake, some goofy JRPGs, Pikmin, Bayonetta. Super hyped for all of those.
