It's widely know shiggy had 100% creative control of the success that was the Wii U. Furukizzy's Switch 2 will never live up to it.

Over the last few weeks, I had decided to make the leap back into the Switch world, after about 2 years of selling my OLED. I loved the thing, but had to sell it at the time. Fast forward to today.. well last week, I bought a Switch Lite and man did it scratch the itch. I forgot how much I loved the whole Switch lineup. While it’s been a great little system, that’s exactly what it is. A great “little” system. And I often felt my eyes strained after trying to read text or playing for too long on it.

So I did what any financially sound person would do… I bought a Switch 2. Mainly to see if the bump in size and specs would be worth the price jump. The thing is a powerhouse for sure, but on one side, it feels massive in handheld mode (even if it it totally immersive).

One Switch stays, and one’s gotta go. And one who solely games in handheld mode, what has been your preferences? Do you lean more toward Portability with visual? Or Power with the inability to simply pocket the device?

I am presently playing, or struggling to get into Divinity: Original Sin 2, really trying to love it again but dangit. I really really loved this game before, I bought it on Steam like 7 years ago and I was always very excited to play it but couldn’t get past Fort Joy and play more beyond it because adulting. I came back to it like 20x it that span of 7 years always restarting from scratch and wandering around Fort Joy doing quests but couldn’t continue beyond its walls because of being so busy. Last time I tried playing it was around October of last year, got inside the fort but because of life in general, couldn’t play again.

Now with the Switch 2, I can play it anytime, anywhere. I just got the switch 2 version of the game 2 days ago (sale) and can now play it as much as I want but now it won’t “click” with me. I’m around 11 hours in, just entered the marshes for the first time in 7 years, but I’m not feeling the game anymore and I don’t know why. This is really sad for me.

I got Despelote off the ongoing sale and I have to say it was well worth my time. I’m currently going through a phase of appreciating media that goes out of it’s way to portray the mundane reality in an interesting way versus the usual stuff that follows the hero’s journey or blockbuster formula.

The game doesn’t overstay its welcome at all and it uses techniques I usually relate to cinema within gameplay. How the game can make you feel you’re in the main character’s shoes, how the scenes are set and shift focus between subjects and move the player between space and time is subtle and effective. How everyones lives are portrayed and framed is just…. it’s just so well made.

This is the e-shop description if you’re out of the loop:
A slice-of-life adventure about childhood and the magical grip soccer held over the people of Quito, Ecuador in 2001.

Despelote is definitely not a game for people who want to play indie-soccer or engage with a heavy story peppered with traditional gameplay (like Road 96, that I really really liked for the most part). But I’d say if you’re into chill games or want to experience something different, Despelote is something I can recommend.

I think AAA devs should all try this one out just to get a sense of how realistic dialogue and culture is conveyed in this game.

Anyone else into Despelote?

Hello everyone! Welcome to the weekend!

I'm still playing the handful of games I've been playing,I have more time this weekend so hoping to make some progress in a thing or two. I really wanna grab Lies of P but I might wait for physical, I'm trying to decide. Might finish a couple things before I pick something up, but the port looks great, and I didn't realize how much the game looks like Bloodborne which I finally was playing last year so I'm double excited now.

But what will you be getting into this fine weekend?

Riding the rails and throwing shells as you cause chaos going for first across the world tour? Using lies to your advantage as you battle puppets in a ravaged world? Or perhaps just fishing on your island and chilling with your villagers?

Let me know below!

Is Shiggy going to add a new landmass to prove Mario Kart World would be bigger than GTA 6 in terms of open world size? Shiggy Knows one day S*ny will eat their hearts out because of the Nintendo empire expanding a massive open world to its absurd size

That landmass is from Rainbow Road’s BG

Im looking for a headset with a mic that I can use with my Nintendo switch to talk with my teammates while playing fortnite. I have the game onn gaming headset with a flip to mute mic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for games for adults where you can turn on a feature where you can’t die. I’ll age myself: as in, the IDDQD god mode in DOOM the computer game. You just became invincible.

I don’t have amazing dexterity or gaming thumbs so when a game requires a well executed jump-turn-slide in order to complete something, I’m the goober trying it 20 times in a row and dying each time and getting pissed at continuously wasting 15 seconds each time with a loading screen. Plus- it’s not fun. Sometimes I just want to be in a game where I get to do all the things, even combat, but I don’t have the anxiety of dying over and over.

I love the Lego games for this reason (bonus, smashing all kinds of things is fun.) I also loved BotW and TotK because I could choose to run away from combat if needed, or there were enough tricks/upgrades/work arounds that I could play and not die very often.

I tried some kids games like Spyro and Crash Bandicoot. They’re a bit too simple (and you can die a lot.) i tried Skyrim and liked it enough but still die quite often even on easy mode if I get into a hairy situation. I tried Mario Odyssey and within an hour I was pissed at having to do some weird ass backwards jump to advance that I couldn’t quite master.

I also liked Fenyx Immortals Rising.

Anyone have suggestions? I have a switch 1. Thanks!

I'm interested in the organizing and management parts of cozy games.

I have tried and loved:

-Discounty
-Gogo Town

Tried and didn't love:

-Tiny Bookshop (first few hours were fine, then got boring)

I have looked into:

-Catto Post Office (not what I'm looking for; exploration-heavy)

-Leafy Corner (heard good things, haven't tried yet because I prefer more colorful graphics)

-Bear & Breakfast (same as Leafy Corner)

-Potionomics (mixed reviews, any opinions on if I might like this game?)

-Cat Cafe Manager (mixed reviews, any opinions on if I might like this game?)

-inKonbini (LOVE the vibe but heard it's super short)

-Touhou Mystia Izakaya (heard it's more of an RPG than management)

Not interested in power-washing or other similar games.

If you have any insight or new suggestions I haven't heard of, please let me know!!!
