Nintendo Switch 2 Thread

Played a bit more of Mario Odyssey earlier. I'm stuck, lmao. I'm in a hole in a ground under an inverted pyramid. The floor is slippery and there are blocks in the way of progress. I know how to break them, but I keep messing up the timing of the hat toss and my position on the very slippery floor. I keep dying over and over, my coins are rapidly disappearing. I'm kinda tired of this icy desert world, would like to experience more of the game.

Also, got off the Great Plateau in Breath of the Wild. Now, the sense of freedom I felt up there has increased exponentially. Everywhere I look, there's something and somewhere that I want to explore.

Both games are brilliant, and absolutely stunning and buttery smooth on Switch 2.

Just played some more of Air Riders aware that Air Ride is only offline for the test drive so I just dove into City Tour without any holdups and actually really enjoyed it. When you get enough power ups you can become absolutely ridiculous, and with all the different Machines having different pros and cons or playstyles there's a lot of strategy to which ones you decide to hop on when they're available. If you've got a bunch of power ups that make you glide farther for instance you may keep an eye out for a machine that's better in the air to lean into that playstyle and bank on a final showdown option that benefits from gliding. I don't fully get how the final showdown works...it seems everyone can choose one of four and then they compete in that one? So if you win your mini-event I'm not sure whether the game cares about your rankings against the people who chose the other three-instead the match just sort of ends? Not really sure. Maybe it's best that it doesn't care about how you did against people who obviously amassed totally different stats to you, not impressive if a cheetah outruns a falcon with both on foot.

I just played a match where I got sooo many power ups that during the final showdown I didn't even need to drift or boost, I just steamed ahead and nobody could touch me even if I drove on the dirtroad. This was the result of a particularly good session of driving around collecting power ups and doing mini-events during the preparation time.

oh god its Baby Park 200cc all over again

Tbf this isn't one of the game's tracks, it's just one of the numerous final bits of city tour.

Baby Park rocks tho

I saw that you were playing the demo yesterday, Duck. I played it for a bit myself too. Still can't believe this game is real. CANNOT wait for the real thing in 10 days.

I was a bit confused about the city tour events too, but I don't really give a shit about those. I'm here for the city map. I just love boosting my machine and destroying my opponents' so they have nothing left when the timer ends.

I was actually trying to join your game when you were on, Toll! But it would go from "not in game" to "city tour already in progress" instantly so I couldn't.

I'm missing not being able to play so I think I'll have to pick this one up even though I already have so many games to get through. It's just a lot of fun and I wanna have a go at the single player stuff as Sakurai is always good with that.

It's made me excited for an eventual Switch 2 Smash, if we get one.

Bought Cult of the Lamb as it's on sale. £15 something for the game and it's DLC.

Played the first half hour or so in a break between working on an assignment for uni. 

WTF is this game? I was expecting like an Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley clone, not some mad hack and slash against rival cultists and profound writing. 10/10 can't wait til later on so I can play it some more.

Odd...  We'll have to connect when the real game is out!  

Yeah me too.  I'm really bad about buying games and never finishing them.  I have Hades 2 and Silent Hill F to complete still.  Now I'm buying fucking Kirby next week.
