I’m way, way, way too hyped for Elden Ring to play anything after Arceus. I’ll just take my sweet time completing my Pokedex and Research Tasks while absorbing every bit of Elden Ring media that comes my way. That game is going to add hundreds of hours to my Steam profile, and I’m going to love every minute of it I just know it.

Just bought Skyward Sword HD! Excited to play it!
Good game!. Just keep in mind that the entire game is one big dungeon with more dungeons within it.

It’s only flaw, is that the switch button controls are still a bit awkward since it was really designed with motion.


As an aside, did they increase the difficulty of Diamond/Pearl? Cynthia from the elite 4 is kicking my ass. I keep losing. Like holy shit.

Sheesh is Moderoid after my wallet. Their kit lineup is like a siren call, first the Rayearth trio, then Godannar, Big O and Giant Robo. Then now they tease this

yo is that a transformer
Uh no, it’s from a Tomino show, it’s the titular Xabungle from the show Combat Mecha Xabungle. It does transform into a flight capable car and trailer for long distance travel tho.

I’m watching it right now, has a western sci-fi theme set on a mining colony planet. Pretty fun so far. Has some very ridiculous names as a Tomino show should like Cargo Carrying and Timp

Edit, also don’t ask is that a transformer, it’s more accurate to ask, yo did Transformers license that for the toy line. Because they did borrow a ton of stuff from other animes that weren’t expected to get brought over to the states back in the day if the toys fit the line. Macross is a big one.

Hah, no prob just a pet peeve as a mecha fan. Specially since I’m playing Super Robot Wars X right now(4 missions left!)

Fun fact, did you know that they originally wanted to license Daltanious as Voltron but due to miscommunications accidentally licensed Golion instead? (Which is a shame as Daltanious was good and Golion is meh)

I actually don’t know much about mecha anime but I know some of the show names and I definitely know Xabungle because it’s OP slaps

Okay yeah I really, really don't get the Origami King hate now. This is awesome. The music is great, the humor is fantastic, and the world is super fun to explore. The battles aren't the best, but they're not super bad like I was led to believe. They're fun. I have yet to hit a boss battle though so things might change.

Boss battles are the good battles. The standard enemy ones get repetitive and unnecessary toward the end. But game overall is way better than people give credit (though here and in Nintendera it was better received I think).

“Get it” is definitely top tier(also the show writer is the guy behind Gundam. If you want to talk about how he likes to mess people he wrote the theme song to his show Ideon which is super upbeat feel wise but spoils the super dark and depressing twist of the show).
Actually if we want to talk banging Mecha themes, Dancouga’s end theme Burning love is top tier(and fun fact is sung by the pilot VA’s from the show. Another fact is Combining Beast God Dancouga’s mechanical designer was the guy who created Starscream so they have similar faces)


Mecha is fun because it’s an additive genre that messes with all sorts of stuff. Rumble Garanndoll was a fun new Show last season that was a homage parody to both mecha and geek culture. Though if I was to recommend a super robot show to a newcomer, top of the list is Getter Robo(probably New Getter Robo or Shin Getter Robo Armageddon) or Giant Robo OVA. If you’re interested in me going in depth just ask XD. Ironically my fave Getter OP is Storm from Shin Vs Neo Getter Robo tho

This is the Time from Armageddon is pretty good to tho. And everyone knows Heats.

Currently I’m watching Xabungle and Godannar

The boss battles are amazing.

Honestly, it's a top-tier Switch game. It's my personal favorite of the Paper Mario games tbh.

I mean, just look at Mando, then look at Boba. You tell me which is cooler.




The fact that Din is already one of my favorite Star Wars characters and yet I've never given a shit about Boba... let's just say I was happy when Din took over the show lmao.

Got to the first credits in Arceus, good stuff! Although it really felt like just going through the motions so I could get back to filling out the Pokédex, lol. Which is weird for me since usually that’s not the part of a Pokémon game I’m most interested in.
Yeah, I been avoiding the story for almost a week now just filling out dex entries and shiny hunting while exploring every section I can. This is backwards for myself as well as I usually finish the story in games pretty quickly.

Without spoilers (if possible) if there’s some weird, unique answer, but is there a trick to shiny hunting? I guess I assumed it was just running around looking for one in the overworld haha. I haven’t wanted to spoil myself on if that’s true or not, but now I’m thinking, depending on how you do it, I’d hate to have put all my time into the game and have missed it.

Oh, I'm the wrong person to ask, I just go to the hordes and hope there's one there. The only thing I will do is just go back into town if I see the horde/s are of pokemon I don't care about. I saw some stuff about people resetting and saving but I haven't touched into that myself. However, I managed to get 7 shinies already and most of them came from the hordes.

Is there any viable reason for a cloud game to get delayed? I'm wondering why Techland delayed Dying Light 2 on Switch with an indefinite release date.

hordes?! I’m at the
third
area…guess I have more new stuff ahead. Exciting.
Batman Arkham Collection coming to Switch btw and yes it includes Arkham Knight (cloud most likely).

Fuck yeeessss one of my most wanted ports ever. Although in my dream timeline we only got the regular “Return to Arkham” collection with Asylum+City…then Knight came when we had more powerful hardware. Game is too beautiful for subnative.

But I love Batman and the Switch is my favorite/preferred platform so I’m just being picky. Beggars can’t be choosers. Super exciting!
