Pre-ordered Mario Galaxy 1+2 (physical).
It is a bit too expensive but I have a weakness for these games and I've wanted to play an HD version of MG2 for years.
The only difference for MG1 over All Stars will be 4k and minor texture improvements. But it will still be the best way to play the game.

I wish more games just acknowledged you mainly want to beat the game because you want to beat the game. Doesn't always need to be more than that. 😄

Looking forward to finding out more about Mario Kart later.
I'm bored of the price discussion to be honest but I'm hoping that you'll be able to do regular Grand Prix mode without the inbetween sections.
Also hoping you can custom make your own routes and build your own cups essentially.

(Well 1000/1000 at least. And please make a new one. And put it on the Switch).

Hearing a lot of good things about Blue Prince from people who like puzzle games or Outer Wilds and The Witness etc. A puzzle roguelike housebuilder 🤔😄
Very likely to add it to my backlog (somewhere between err, Tunic and the Switch 2 😂)

In other news, this puzzle on Talos Principle 2's DLC took me about 2 hours over about 4 days 🤣
Deceptively layered. You think you've solved it, but that only took you halfway and ultimately wasn't the right direction.
I know I wanted these hard but wow. DLC 3 is supposed to be harder 😅

Nintendo Switch 2 Direct tomorrow 🥳
I'm not one of those people that has a list of what I'm expecting to see, I'm happy just to tune in and see what they have to show!
1 hour long too! Better use the big mug!

A shame that Malcolm in the Middle had to recast Dewey for the revival, but they couldn't really have done a better job finding a replacement!
A bit sad that Erik Per-Sullivan won't return mind, but he moved away from the industry a long time ago.

The puzzled are indeed becoming nice and intricate 😁 (But not in a convoluted way).

Some morning puzzles to start the day!
Decided to jump into Talos Principle 2's DLC. Hoping for some meaty puzzle challenges like in the first game's DLC.

Also it's great to see how vibrant this game looks compared to the last couple of games.
It will actually be nice on the eyes to run through this world!

12 double tags saved up. 12 negative jokers added to the pack.
Result...about 3 helpful ones 🤣 And not very helpful either!
Run ended after Ante 14, which is still the furthest I've gotten. This was a nicely trimmed deck as well.

My first 'e' hand!
Had Burned Joker for a while but swapped it for DNA eventually. The latter really starts to shine when it can clone red seal steel kings (x2) most rounds!

Ok why have I gone a month without playing this. Ridiculously fun!

The track shown was a little dull, but it's plausible that it was purposefully designed that way so it comes to life with a Wonder Seed.
Of course it could easily be something else, but this is the option with the most potential I think.
Hopefully we'll find out more on April 2nd.

The other thing is the big section of track in the background.
How can you get there? I'm assuming the game won't just repeat anti-grav, but a Wonder Seed could change the course and allow you to reach it.
But can you imagine what that would let you do to classic courses as well?

I may be sold on the idea that this is a Wonder Seed from Mario Wonder.
Mario Kart 9(?) needs a new gimmick and a Wonder Seed would fit perfectly. It would allow multiple versions of the same track and allow any map to change mid-course.
Activating it could affect every track differently.

Honestly though I'm happy with a smoother, more powerful Switch!
I love the Switch and I am happy for them to not reinvent the wheel on this one!
Play more ambitious games in better graphics. Perfect!

Early impressions on Metaphor is that it's VERY good. I wasn't 100% sold as I'm not overly into fantasy (more a sci-fi-guy) but haven't found that an obstacle so far.
The world just feels so creative and it introduces things to you gradually, rather than throwing too much at you in one go.

First win! Definitely feel like I know what I'm doing more now. Is fun spending the first couple of rounds feeling into what sort of game you'll have.
This was a straight run as I picked up the joker that allowed you to make a straight while skipping cards.
So much potential in what you can do!
