I've just played Kirby the Forgotten Land (it's nice but a bit too easy) and now I'm downloading Pikmin 3 to try it out.

I normally just look on Youtube and buy games, but I feel like trying out some demo's to make sure that I enjoy it.

I have a Switch Lite.

I'm a fan of: Mario Wonder, Ori and the will of wisps, Nobody saves the world, Guacamelee, Trine, South Park games, Monster Boy

You know how it is, sometimes you’re just window shopping to pass the time. I’ve actually gotten really into Knights of the Old Republic recently after it being on my backlog forever, and find it absolutely amazing.

I had previously once downloaded the Pikman 4 demo, and played like a single hot minute of it, after having never played the series before and found it real charming with the art style of the cute chubby little round yellow dog, and being these tiny alien creatures on Earth.

I have a big wish list. There’s games that I dream about and long for and can’t wait until I get the chance to play em’ except I ain’t got a whole lot of money right now.

I was quite delighted to see a few games on my wishlist had demoes available to download on the eshop. I’m very excited to dip my toes into Unicorn Overlord, Pikman 3 & 4, Mario VS Donkey Kong, Another Code Recollection, the new Prince of Persia, the new Contra, Kakarot (RIP Toriyama), Big Brain Academy, Cadence of Hyrule, Monster Hunter Rise, Pocket Card Jockey, the new Princess Peach game, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Sushi Strikers, Mario and Rabbids Sparks of Hope, that new game that looks like Wario Land Antonblast, Dr Fetus’s puzzle game from Super Meat Boy fame, Clubhouse Games 51, and what I am most excited to dip my toes into— Nintendo’s Game Builder Garage.

In my own routine and backlog completion— I have just almost 100% Super Mario Wonder for the second time since I played and beat it shortly after it initially came out in October. I’m on the final badge test, and I just have to get the last three flower coins and the wonder seeds, and hit the top of the flag pole and it’ll be 100%ed for a second time, except this time around I don’t have Nintendo Switch Online service so I won’t be getting help from any good samaritans this time around.

I also just finally got around to beating the first Advanced Wars game in the Advanced Wars Bootcamp collection. And in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, I reached the three star level quests after not skipping any of the ones below it.

But here’s what I wanted to share… I gave a dip of the toe into the Clubhouse Games demo. There are four out of fifty one available for the demo.

There’s Connect Four, Dominioes, President, and Slot Cars.

The thing about Clubhouse Games is that when the original game came out on the Nintendo DS, I remember my reaction was oh great a video game based on all those boring card and board games that you play when for some strange reason you can’t play video games instead.

But the thing is as I’ve been gettting older, and growing to appreciate a slower quieter way of life than the cable television filled days of my youth.

I am quite smitten with the idea of playing card games or board games around a table, maybe there are libations like booze involved, cigarettes smoked, maybe beer maybe cofffee instead maybe tea, maybe instead of cigarettes there’s a hookah and maybe it’s a small group of friends or maybe it’s an awesome house party with lots of people.

Anyways, I played Dominoes first and I loved the interface of this software with the little skit and then the brief essential rules down to a bullet point, and even accounting for house rules and variations.

At first I was not quite sure I grasped the rules, but like playing chess on the computer the software will guide you and won’t let you make an illegal move, so essentially you learn as you play.

With dominoes, I thought I kinda knew how to play but the basic rules of Dominoes are so basic to me it sounded as fun as shoots and ladders.

But with the five up scoring variation where you get points for the numbers on the edge adding up to be a multiple of 5, then I saw some sort of tactics to the game, strategy and imagined those scenes I’ve seen of old men enthusiastically slapping down a dominos onto a winding line of them on a table.

Then I tried the card game President, and man that is a funny game with some odd rules that is deceptively simple, but there is more going on than what’s on the surface. I felt like the split personality artificial intelligence play acting as several different people around the table was playing mind games with me.

Anyways, this has been a blog post.

I loved Design Home on my phone, but I didn’t buy a Switch to play games on my phone… 😂

I love decorating games. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

I was a Xbox owner and gamer for awhile but marriage and a child took me away. I just didn’t have the time or energy to like sit and play and learn like I used to. Plus I barely watch tv since it’s normally occupied by my daughter or wife or we keep it off to push my daughter to play with toys. On a whim I said I’m going to buy a switch so I can at least play that and I don’t need a TV and man Best. Decision. Ever. It has the type of games that interest me I have an ever expanding list of games to play once I beat my other ones. I’ve beaten more games in like 3 months than in probably the past 5 years combined.

The three that stick out are Little Nightmares, then I played Inside and that was so much fun and challenging but fun. But I saw here a recommendation for Kirby and I had never played one so I said why not. WOW! Kirby and the forgotten land is one of the best games I’ve played in awhile. So much fun but still very challenging. Just gotta say thank you all. Literally feel like a kid again with how much fun the Switch is.

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a fashion or make up game to play on switch. Something similar to those mini free games « for girls » you could find in early 2000’s. I’d also enjoy a bit of scenario so it doesn’t get too repetitive. Overall, something very girly-coded and fun to play.

Does it even exist ?

I was thinking of the Bratz game or Fashion Dreamer but people who bought those games seems quite disappointed.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions 😊

Last week I bought a rare copy of Blasphemous Deluxe Edition (EUR Region). The person who sold it is earnest and has already sold to me an Undertale copy which came complete with manual (basic version).

However, the Blasphemous copy was way more expensive (it's sold out in most places) and it didn't come with the DIGITAL CODE to access the digital artbook soundtrack and stuff.

The game did come with it's own icon (it's a different save game than the digital eshop version) and I got the 2 exclusive Penitent One skins.

The guy said he sent a message to TEAM17 and now is waiting for an answer. I wonder... Is that counterfeit somehow or I'm just truly unlucky to get a game that didn't have a crucial element that only a company could offer? (if it is counterfeit the bandit cannot generate a code to use inside eShop to access exclusive content locked only to Deluxe edition).

Sorry if it was confusing, I'd like to know your views and even if any of you has already been in my shoes or even better: is it possible for him to sell a sealed copy of a very very very rare game like that? Thank you

I’m getting a free switch as part of a promotional thing. I’m not much of a gamer but I love the Fallout games. Those and Untitled Goose Game are about the only games I’ve played extensively, although I also enjoyed The Outer Worlds. Honestly I think it’s mostly an aesthetic thing; I like the retro futurism and Untitled Goose Game is just hilarious. I do enjoy the story lines and lore of Fallout also.

Anyway I’m excited to get the Switch because I’ve got some travel coming up and possibly some time in the hospital and hospitals are boring AF. I get bored playing games on my phone (and while I enjoy puzzle games they also tend to require more brain power than I want to put in a lot of the time.) I also have stupid fingers pretty regularly-they shake or get clumsy-so I don’t like playing things that require a ton of fast reaction times.

Open to suggestions.

What are some games that dont need large loading and are nice fun games to play if you have little time

Some Famiboards users have been using customs data to try and figure out the specs for the Switch 2. They think they've found custom documentation for DDR5 chips that leads them to believe that he Switch 2 will have 12GB of DDR5:

https://famiboards.com/threads/future-nintendo-hardware-technology-speculation-discussion-st-read-the-staff-posts-before-commenting.55/

They also found shipments for 256GB of storage and magnets that go along with the magnetic attachment for the joycons, They've seen stuff related to 8" lcds and Nvidia T239 CPUs which have been in rumors for years. And they've seen shipments of fans pointing to two fans which they're surmising means a fan in the dock.

They also found the name "Muju" in Nintendo's Package Manager so that could be the codename for the new Switch, or it could be a placeholder.

It's all just rumor, but it's really interesting to me because I don't remember public custom data being used in leaks before.

There's a post from yesterday on GamingLeaksAndRumours which really gets into really detailed part info.

What are some good twin stick shooters for the Switch that are like Dead Nation or Alienation? I've played the Hotline Miami games and a few other games but nothing I've come across are really like the two I listed.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend!

Hope everyone's week has been nice wherever you are!

Lets see, I am still chipping away at Floppy Knights, it definitely reminds me of something that would have come out in the late 90's early 00's as a CD-ROM game that would have been super popular at the library. I mean that in the most affectionate way possible.

I also picked up Animal Well and Little Kitty, Big City last night. I only got about 20-30 minutes into both so far, but both seem to run fairly well on the switch, especially Animal Well. And that game is super addictive to explore, but I am already stuck on the first "boss" as you can fight back, you can only run, unless I'm missing something. And Little Kitty is very cute so far, knocking pots off of ledges is a hoot!

What will you be getting into?

Gliding high above Hyrule on the winds? Hanging with Bea and Gregg and doing crimes? Hiking in the Highlands to the beat of a song?

Let me know below!

I love that I can play my Nintendo Switch on my elliptical machine and one hour will fly by. But I find that platforming games or games that require constant quick reacting can be a bit tricky when I am also focusing on maintaining the right form for my exercises, breathing and watching the clock for HIIT intervals.

Games that have worked great on the elliptical have been:

• Batman: The Telltale Series (choice-based story, although QTE can be tricky)
• LA Noire (mostly story-based and looking for clues with no time limits)
• Life Is Strange (choice-based story)
• Mario + Rabbids (turn-based strategy)

Games that weren't good for the elliptical: Mario 3D World and Super Mario Maker 2 (both required precision and good reaction time, and I couldn't play as well as when just laying on my couch, which frustrated me).

Normally I like games where you explore an open world and don't need to do things in a set order - my favorite games on the Switch were the Zelda games, Mario Odyssey and Lego City Undercover. But I liked them so much that I mostly could not limit myself to only playing on the elliptical, lol. I did play Lego City on the elliptical, which was fine too since it's a very easy game and mostly about collection. But a really good story, like the Life Is Strange games, is a good option too.

Any recommendations for other story-based games, turn-based games, or exploration games that do not require quick reaction and precision? Thanks in advance!
