what are your most 3 anticipated Switch games for 2022? (not counting BotW2)

Bayo 3, Splattoon 3 and Triangle Strategy for me.

Barring any surprises those three are also my most anticipated games for next year as well.

I finally finished metroid Dread. For me this game is a love and hate relationship. The core gameplay I really really love. But many elements didn't work as well for me. The map design wasn't memorable for me and the controls never turned into muscle memory. Even at the very end I still pressed the wrong buttons in boss fights.

Speaking of boss fights they were for the most part really the highlight of the game together with the cutscenes and animations.

Overall for me a solid 8/10. I enjoyed my time overall but I sadly can't hype it as much as others can.

Hi all, I've not been around much because of both illness and then my holiday. I'm back home and now gradually returning to normal before my proper return to work next week.

I absolutely loved Dread. I'm unsure if I'll aim to do 100% on my current save file, but I'll definitely be returning to it before long. Tonight I decided to revisit Gris on OLED, because it's one of those visually stunning games that really benefits from the display, and the minimalist gameplay fits nicely with my tired brain. I'm going to move on to Return of the Obra Dinn after that, try and figure out when my No More Heroes 3 Collector's Edition will arrive, and maybe revisit Astral Chain on OLED too (though Luigi's Mansion 3 is also crying out to me). At some point I'll need to think about the recent stack of things added to the wishlist, especially Tetris Effect, but I'm in the nice position of not necessarily having anything new till Shin Megami Tensei V.

The other thing I want to say is I'm not sure how active a member of this community I can be currently. I've spoken before, slightly here but also at The Old Place, about how I've recently been diagnosed with chronic illness and I'm still learning to live with that. Throw on a bunch of other real world things, and I'm not sure what it means for my routine of being in this online community. I'm hopeful that the mental fatigue and strain I'm under at the moment is just temporary, and that before long I'll be back to posting in here and around the site frequently, but as I try to change some aspects of my routine and life then things, including my interaction here, may well change.

But I want to state how glad I am this site exists. I'm not able to check it out much lately, but it's a big and much appreciated endeavour and I'm glad to see a growing community.

Kotaku really needs to stop talking about Metroid as their takes are just those who didn't pay attention to the game or need things spoonfed to them.

Are you talking about the "Samus Doesn't Need To Be An Emotionless Robot" one? Yeah, I saw that on my rss feed this morning and I think I tasted a little vomit.

Bayo 3, Splattoon 3 and Triangle Strategy for me.

For sure: Mario + Rabbids 2, Bayo 3, and BotW2

oh but also Chocobo GP, but that's more super intrigued by for now.

I think the best Mario game is SMB3, what does that make me besides wrong?

It probably makes you old. But also, there is no wrong choice on best Mario platformer

I'm sorry but someone had to say it.

I hope you will learn to life with your illness and that you still find enough ways to enjoy your life. I followed this community at the old place for a year but mostly just read. Here I try to be more active but I still don't really recognise names and stuff. Just your name i did for some reason (I guess the awesome wario Avatar helps ). I look forward to read more from you in the future again when your in a better place i know you can do it.

Yup, that one.

Yeeeah, I'm gonna put my reaction to that article behind a spoiler tag in case it's a little too much to blast the thread with:

Spoiler: My In-Depth Thoughts on that Kotaku Metroid Article

Eastward crashed on me when after I beat the final boss but before the cut scene. So I have to do it all over again :<

The third time this has happened to me on a Switch game

BotW
Octopath Traveller

And now Eastward.. I have to say.. that's a bit frustrating

Eastward doesn't seem to be the most stable game ever unfortunately, especially towards the latter half of the game. I actually restarted it before the final boss to try to mitigate the risk of a crash.

I'd rather have a stoic protagonist than one that never shuts up.

 

[sagadego20]

thank you sakurai

 

[chocolate_supra]

I too prefer Samus to almost the entirety of modern gaming protagonists. Also the non-stoic but still mercifully nonverbal feral elf child. And the silent redheaded rockstar with a katana and lightning powers.

.....ya know what? Silent protagonists rock.

I can't wait for the actual movie to come out and find that it's a lot closer to these videos than we thought.

I have high hopes that the movie will at least be as meme-able as Megamind
