I think I'm close to the end of Bowser's Fury, so I may be able to finish that in a sitting or two. I'm also playing Shredder's Revenge in a co-op setting, and the DLC announcement was a good reminder to get back into that (think we're also nearing the end of the story). And there's a Splatfest, so I feel somewhat obligated to choose a team and play a little, though I've definitely been on a Splatoon 3 break lately.

Let's go Mint Chip!
I don't play Splatoon 3, but I am rooting for Mint Chip!
Booo, down with Mint Chip! Up with... whichever team I end up picking. (Maybe even Mint Chip!)
Not picking Mint Chip is a banable offense FYI
Bowser's Fury was really fun, how are you enjoying it?
Good luck with TMNT and Splatoon 3!
Thank you! Bowser's Fury is a fun experience, and the open-world concept is a cool one. I actually bought this Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury pack on the strength of Bowser's Fury alone, after reading people speculate that it might be the future of the 3D Mario series. I'm not sure how it would scale to a full game, though... I guess it might also be a little less "whoa dude" in a post-Mario-Odyssey world, since some of those levels were almost such environments in their own right (desert level comes to mind here, with its town area and other areas). The
is equal parts cool and annoying, with the way it gets less avoidable as the game progresses. But on the whole, it's good stuff... I haven't even looked at the main title yet, and I feel like I'm close to getting my $40's worth.spoiler
ongoing boss battle
What has the TMNT experience been like for you? I'm a little frustrated at all the button-combo moves I can't seem to memorize, but that might just be a me-thing. Still having fun with this one, even with the struggles.
Yeah, I don't think next 3D Mario will be open world like this. They would need to make a world almost as big as Breath of the Wild or it will feel a step back from how much we had in Odyssey. Other than that, loved Bowser's Fury though, and felt the same about the spoilery part. It started as really cool, and started to lend a bit towards annoying, but from what I recall I enjoyed it till the end.
Mario 3D World is also really fun, I had never played it before, so enjoyed playing with my kid.
Well, about TMNT, I don't even try to remember all the moves. There are two types of attack: normal and super, and then there is jump, and dodge. You can attack, or jump and attack or dodge and attack. Where attack can be normal attack or super. That's all I remember and that's all I do 😀
Still playing totk, 175 hours so far. I need to do Gerudo’s quest and explore both desert areas and that’s it, finally I’ll move on to something else, probably Diablo 4 or something on Gamepass, haven’t decided yet.
There is still quite a bit of story after the Gerudo's temple. If you keep that pace, it would be 250+ hours before you are done. Or just 180 - 185 if you ignore everything and stick to the main mission.
I would suggest taking your time.

Similar hours, I did Gerudo but skipped Goron area entirely so far. Wrapping a couple side quests (just finished the Laurelin Village water stuff).
Been using Heros Path to see areas I've missed and exploring but I'm starting to dial back. Decided I wanna leave a few things untouched for when I do a DLC re-play in a year or so.

Congratulations in finishing Tears of the Kingdom! To me, the story was definitely an improvement from the first game, with more memorable and epic moments.
As for me, last week I broke down and got myself a Steam deck! I already installed several games to try out, with intention to give Ni No Kuni a real shot this time. Last time I played the game I dropped it after several hours because I found combat boring, let's see if this time will be different.
On Nintendo Switch I am slowly getting through The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. Currently I am on case 4 of the first game.
And lastly, on PS5, I am playing Forspoken. I finished main story last weekend, and right now I am just roaming the world and doing side activities.
Thanks!
Steam deck is a great device, but I already have so many games to play, getting another "console" isn't going to help with that. And since you also have PS5, take a look at Chiaki for SteamDeck, to remote play PS5 games. Learned about it from @CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world , our resident mod and creator of !ps5@lemmy.ml, you can ping him for any help related to that.
Ni No Kuni is a very fun game, played the first one PS3. A much better Pokémon game than some of the newer Pokémon game.
How are you liking The Great Ace Attorney? I haven't started the series yet, but going to get the Phoenix Wright games soon.
Same question, how are you liking Forspoken? I liked the demo, but the full game review haven't been that great. Though some of the people I know who have played the game have enjoyed it.

Oh yeah this is the Nintendo sub, but anyhows: Arknights has a new event and Fate/Grand Order has released the final part of it's latest story chapter, I am looking forward to playing through the story in those two mobile games as soon as I have time.
Then after that possibly try to find the rest of the armor pieces in Tears of the Kingdom, unless I get too tempted to get started on Master Detective Archives: Rain Code instead.
Yeah, it's a Nintendo community, but we don't mind discussing other games in this weekly thread. Half the games I mentioned in main post, don't even exist on Switch.
I have been hearing good things about Master Detectives Archive: Rain Code. I have trouble staying away from a game if I already have it, so nice work on that! 😀
What is your percentage completed of TotK? I am still at 41%. I thought I might be at least 50+, so was slightly shocked to see it so low.
Haha right!
I missed that there is a percentage after beating the game, will have to check when I get home.
I am probably also quite low. I feel like I have skipped over a lot of the map because I would constantly use the towers or just teleporting to the sky islands to glide directly to locations instead of traveling over land and discovering stuff...

Splatoon 3. The mint chip atrocity ends here and now. No more will our children suffer at the hand of such degeneracy.
How dare you!? No blaspheming against Mint Chip!
Almost done with Pikmin, only a few remaining ship parts to collect and I have plenty of days to do it.
Edit: down to the last part but I'll finish it off in the morning.
Minecraft Story Mode. My kids were too young to remember it the first time so I've been playing that with them. Not long started so I hope to finish episodes 1 and 2 this weekend.
I had forgotten about Minecraft Story Mode! My kid loves Minecraft, so looked it up and found out it's not available anymore, then I remembered why I had taken it out of my mind.
Are you going to play Pikmin 2 next? Or going to wait for Pikmin 4?

I didn't touch my Switch for a few weeks, so I'll be catching up by playing Splatoon 3 (splatfest) and some MK8 in between (wave 5).

@slimerancher we've been playing TotK for the same amount of hours every week 😆 I'm at 90 hours now, but haven't advanced the story much since last week. After getting all the dragon tears and the Master Sword I've kept exploring the map and I went back to the depths to explore more, find some armor pieces and follow one of the story quests related to the Yiga in the depths. I still haven't done at least two temples, the Zora and the Gerudo ones. Maybe I should get going with that...
I've also played the new Mario Kart 8 DLC. It made me nostalgic of playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U with friends! I need to organize a Mario Kart night soon.
Pikmin 4 should arrive a week today, so that'll be next I guess!
Haha, that's interesting. After finishing the game I have only done about 41% of the game. So still need to do a lot.
How are you liking the MK8 DLC? Any favourite new tracks?

Skyward Sword HD! The visuals and dungeons are so fun. Also, it turns out it's the only Zelda game that's HD and 60FPS. I hadn't realized this before. I really hope they remake other Zeldas.

I took a break from Zelda to play Final Fantasy 16, went back and I finished TOTK as well. Taking a break from Switch for a bit to play my group Ironman account on old school RuneScape some more. Then I’ll probably start to work through the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters.
How did you like Final Fantasy 16? Finished it? I am hearing great things about it, also that it's more of an action game than RPG. What do you think about that?
I played RuneScape for a little while, or at least some game that I believed to be RuneScape, it was ages ago. Really interesting to find out that people are still playing it.
Which Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster are you going to start with? Any favourite? or going to start from the 1st one and play them all?
I am a massive Final Fantasy fanboy so, my totally unbiased opinion, it is a masterpiece. The story made me cry like 6 times. It’s excellent story telling. The game play is engaging. Not terribly challenging but it could be for folks less familiar with action games. There are ways to decrease the difficulty on a few different axis by equipping certain accessories. The side quests can be a little fetchy but I think even the worst ones add some depth to the world. There’s plenty of optional bosses too. It’s my personal game of the year although Tears of the Kingdom is probably more deserving overall for more broad appeal and polish.
There are two versions of Runescape - old school and RuneScape 3. RS3 is the older of the two. It’s been the natural continuation of the game with a controversial overhaul of the combat system to make it more traditionally mmo adjacent. Old school started in 2013 from a back up copy of the game pre-2007 when the change occurred. Jagex now runs both simultaneously. Old school is the game you would remember if you played back in the day. It’s bigger than ever. At any given time there are well over 100k folks playing. Regular new content and updates. It’s amazing.
I’ll probably start with FF1 and go from there. I’ve played them all before in other versions so I might as well go in order.
my totally unbiased opinion
Of course! And I expected nothing less from you!
Glad that you liked it. From what I have seen and heard, it does seem to be a strong contender for GOTY.
Ah, I just searched for Old School Runescape, and it's exactly how I remember. Wow, so many people such an old game, and which looks like so ancient! It once again proves that graphics aren't everything.
Good luck with FF marathon. I haven't played many of the classics, only FF7, and FF9. I may give the rest a try, just to see how they are.
I bought Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for switch, just to he able to play a slow pace game while on holiday.

Yeah I shelved TotK about 2 weeks ago I'd say. 90 hours as well.
Nothing on Switch at the moment. Debating starting Pikmin as I've never played.
Working my way through FF16 and Batman Arkham City outside of Nintendo consoles.

Only 90?? I had about 230 in when I finally dove down that final chasm. Now I don't know what to do with myself.

Splatoon 3. Maybe once strawberry wins, people will understand that it's just better than plain vanilla or whatever mint choco is supposed to be X)
Where are the mods! Someone ban this guy!

I had forgotten about this last week, but I actualy had Trails into Reverie preordered!
Got it early in this week and started playing. Didn't have as much time as I'd like, but I managed to reach Act 2, and just got to the Reverie Corridor.
Really want to play more as C since his party is the "new" one, but early-game is mostly focused on Lloyd and Rean.
Ah cool! I have only played the first part of Trails in the Sky. Don't play on PC much so the second part keep getting delayed. Hoping it would end up coming to Switch. And I want to play the whole series from start, so not playing any of the later games until I have finished Trails in the Sky 😀
How are you enjoying the game? Have you played the rest of the series?

Just TotK. The only other game I play on Switch is Chicken Horse with friends. Unfortunately, I have a thesis to finish.

This week in TotK I cleared the first temple (Wind Temple) and have been working on mopping up everything I can in the Hebra region so I have to spend the least time there possible moving forward. It was my least favorite part of BotW and TotK didn't really change my opinion. One related question though: guides I've found say you don't need to do the geoglyphs in order, but I've found the one in the northern snowfield and have combed the entire thing multiple times, including where the guides say you find the tear, but the tear is nowhere to be found. I got the one just outside Rito Village, which is supposed to be second, right away, it was readily available. Are the guides wrong, are you forced to pick them up in order?
I am currently playing TotK with three temples done but haven't gone to the Gerudo region yet. I have most of the geoglyphs done on the central/eastern part of the map and haven't followed any order. I did do the Hebra geoglyph. It's a big one, but the tear should be there! It's smaller than others I feel.

This weekend I'll play the new splatfest in splatoon 3. I made a mistake last week and thought the splatfest was then, and I spent about 5 minutes in the game wondering where the splatfest was. Felt so dumb.
Congrats on finishing the story of Zelda. I finished the last temple yesterday and I will finish the story next week.
