I thought the port was deemed too difficult? I should get Blind Forest at some point but I've realised I'm not generally a big fan of Metroidvanias and I'm swearing off buying them for a while.

Spiritfarer is free on GamePass and it is very good so far. Would have definitely bought for the Switch if I didn't have GamePass

Maybe I'm just not in the Nintendo headspace but the only games I've purchased in the last year I think are Untitled Goose, Ori port, Lonely Mountain, and SMM2.

I played through A Short Hike again today, so good. The perfect type of game for me rn.

I got Ori and the Blind Forest and it’s nice I guess... but I think Hollow Knight has forever ruined all other metroidvanias for me

Did we ever have that Metroidvania thread? I just started playing Iconoclasts tonight and so far it's insanely pretty and really crunchy. I'm having a blast. Good one for the noobs in the thread also as the Easy mode seems to make you literally invulnerable

I try to avoid poetry at all costs, on every occasion. So why am I intrigued and bewitched by this?

Dusted off the Wii U and I'm replaying Super Mario 3D World - so much fun, soundtrack is stellar. A real gem of delight in this screwy world, and I'm playing it with a Pro Controller - will go back for the Toad levels with that crap GamePad towards the end.

Bought What the golf? on sale, it's goofy just like expected, with a scent of Katamari Damacy.
If you're into little absurdist games that somehow manage to go deep in a really simple concept, it's nice

idk who needs to see this but this is the most exciting nintendo switch related news for me - really hoping this happens

https://www.gamesradar.com/tony-hawks-pro-skater-1-2-nintendo-switch-files-uncovered-in-demo-code/

Posted by DarthBellic on Twitter, files within the recently released THPS 1 + 2 Warehouse demo reveal input images for all three official control schemes on the Nintendo Switch, including that for the Pro Controller.


no guarantees but this would be so cool

picked up Paper Mario last week - about 3/4 through the yellow streamer portion and man this game feels like it's never going to end and not in a good way. I don't know if I have it in me to finish...

Been encouraging my gf to try more games besides just Animal Crossing and A Short Hike seems like the perfect one for her. I'm gonna lay on the couch and drink tea and watch her play it and I think it will be the perfect cure for all the stress right now.

Though watching her try to use joysticks properly may just be more stressful. We'll see.
