It might not be the "definitive" edition but the Switch 2 version of #TombRaider still looks great and at a silky smooth 60fps too. Still, I'm hoping for a few updates to polish it up further.

Finally got a Switch 2 with MK: World. Already started a new game of Pokemon Violet and it's incredible how much better it looks and runs. Feels like a completely different game. It makes me wish all my Swicth 1 games got updates too.

I'll be getting a Switch 2 next month ready for Metroid Prime 4 which I've ordered. Exciting times!

Will likely also get Pokemon Legends ZA + am looking forward to starting a new game of Scarlett on it too. Will feel strange to not have it be blurry and stuttering like crazy. 😅

I really hope the next Pokemon games have an actual villainous team again with a rival tormenting you, too. Gen 8 and 9 were far too tame (6 and 7 somewhat). Recent games have been far too "nice". Also voice acting in important scenes at the very least!! The recent Digimon demo shows the way to go!

Playing Sonic Frontiers for the first time. Got to the first Super Sonic battle and I'm struggling to like the game. The setting and story, the music and controls. I'm hating all of it. Just find it all so boring. It's like they've sucked the soul out of Sonic. I'd rather see Green Hill again. 😔

#NintendoDirect wishlist
- Metroid Prime 2+3

I can't believe I've lived long enough to see Bubsy 3D return.

Bought House of the Dead on Switch as its dirt cheap. I know it's not the greatest version, but I'm enjoying playing it in touch screen mode. The touch screen has been underutilised on Switch (cough pokemon).

Good Morning everyone!

I've barely had a chance to rest this month so far, so this Easter break is much appreciated!

Now I await patch 1 of the Tomb Raider 4-6 Trilogy due today, and that's my day sorted! 😃

It still completely baffles me as to why Nintendo made the Mario 3D all-stars a limited item. Thankfully I bought it but there are likely many people who want to play Sunshine and Galaxy that currently can't.

Got an invite from Nintendo to pre-order the Switch 2. As tempting as it is, im going to wait for Metroid. I've got plenty to keep me going atm with the current switch, ps5, xbox etc.

I'm hoping at least 3rd party games have free Switch 2 updates. Nintendo are Nintendo but I can picture certain publishers doing the right thing. Paying for new content i get but for a simple boost using the new hardware? Nah.

A funny number but I suppose it is what it is. The bundle does make Mario Kart £34.

Had to say goodbye to our beautiful little man today. Brought so much joy into our lives that I will be forever grateful for. Will really miss him. If you see a new star in the sky tonight brighter than all others, then that's him shining over us.

I've got a Switch Online ticket to spend on a Nintendo published game before the end of July. I'm not quite sure after that direct if there'll even be any new games to spend it on before then so may have to use it on a game already released and discounted 🫠
