I want to reintroduce myself to Bluesky! Call me Crit! I'm a bit of a Nintendo loyalist and perhaps too critical of movies sometimes. Hit me up if you want my Switch FC! I enjoy writing reviews as well on these sites.

Enjoying Metroid Prime 4 so far. I do have one nitpick and it's definitely a nostalgia based thing, but the game over sequence is just not as impactful. The scream isn't haunting, the screen is tame. When I died in the first game, I would always want to avoid it because of the sound Samus made.

I was lucky enough to have playtested this game and the system is a lot of fun! The JRPG design is integrated so well into a TTRPG. Also, look at this art!

From the moment it was announced and that Sakurai was directing it, I knew Kirby Air Riders would be something special. As a fan of the original, it is that and then some in terms of content. I'm having so much fun with it.

Having loved the first Hades, starting up the second game felt like putting on some old clothes realizing they fit better than you remember. I only played an hour, but I know I'm going to love this one just as much as the first. There are enough new systems to keep it fresh.

I found myself looking through my physical Switch collection and deciding I could part with a few I had no interest in playing again. I picked up Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which I only played part the demo but knew I wanted the game. Excited to play more!

That was certainly a meat direct. Was hoping to see more Switch 2 versions for first party games (Xenoblade in particular) but that could always come next year. A lot of things to be excited for!

As a fan of the original game, Kirby Air Riders seems to be everything I was hoping for when it comes to a sequel. Sakurai as always filling it to the brim with content and we still don’t know everything! Can’t wait for November

Guess I still have a use for my Switch 1 for now. I didn't realize that the Switch 2 dock won't charge the original pro controller unless it is turned on, whereas Switch 1 could charge it while off. Kind of a nuisance, but at least I'm aware.

My first physical Switch 2 game arrived today! Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. I look forward to checking that out after I finish Bravely Default!

Everything is transferred and downloaded. Despite making sure I had enough space for system memory, I definitely cut it close. Looks like I’ll need that micro sd card sooner than I thought

It’s real. It’s here and it’s in front of me. Also free pringles and coke I guess lol

Forget the games I got for launch, THIS is what I’ll be playing. So excited
June 4, 2025 at 1:35 PM
It was a good run with the Switch, but I am beyond excited for the next iteration and all the games that I'll be playing/still catching up on (Thank you backwards compatibility). This is the console I spent the most time gaming and has my biggest library too. Favorite nintendo console for sure.
