Hello Everyone!
Another week without me playing too much.
- Playing and enjoying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The game is super fun, but can be a bit tough sometimes, or maybe I am just not good at platformers. I am at 2nd boss, would try to clear it and the 3rd area.
- Finished Carto, loved the game. Some of the puzzles require you to think a bit, and there’s one puzzle near the end that I couldn’t figure out. Saw a YouTube video, and cleared the puzzle, but still can’t figure out the logic behind it. Other than that, there are some secrets that I didn’t get, I may go for them, not sure yet.
- Back to Monster Hunter: World, cleared couple of missions. Going to keep at it.
Now that I have finished Carto, going to start another smaller game, not sure which one yet, have a few lined up, will go through my list and decide.
What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play over the weekend?
I know I’m late to the party but I actually beat New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe this weekend! I actually also found certain parts to be challenging but every time I tried to google for guides I found community after community talking about how absurdly easy it was. It was kind of surreal so I just wanted to validate your feelings about the challenge.
That being said, when I went back to replay older levels……it was way way way WAY easier and I found that I have progressed over the course of the game to have become pretty competent. The game’s difficulty curve trains you pretty well.
So, basically what you are saying is, “git gud”! 😀
Jokes aside, it’s nice to know I am not the only one, and there’s actually a difficulty curve for those who aren’t platforming experts. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah just to update you on that comment. I started playing Super Luigi U and I’ve been very humbled. I’ve been playing Toadette because this shit is hard. Like really hard.
Wow, that’s umm… nice to know. I don’t think I would try to finish Super Luigi U, but I would at least give it a try. Once I have finished Mario side, that is.
I’ve been playing Pikmin 4, it’s chill and fun. I probably won’t get back to TotK until I’ve finished Pikmin 4. I might play some Sonic here and there too, and I’ve been wanting to get back into Smash Ultimate for some time now.
I received Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons physical yesterday. I only booted it up to download the update and have a quick 5/10 minutes play, so it’s ready for the weekend. I’m looking forward to playing that one with my girlfriend!
How good are you in Smash Ultimate? If you are somewhere between not good to bad, we can have a few challenges sometimes 😀
Double Dragon Gaiden looks pretty good. I am glad the beat 'em ups are coming back. It’s one of my favourite genre.
I’m probably as good as in Mario Kart. I think I’m good when I play with friends, but then I play online and get my ass handed to me 😆 I haven’t paid for Nintendo Online for about two years now, but I could get back to it for some Smash and Mario Kart online!
I love beat 'em ups too. I have a decent beat 'em up collection for Switch now! Both classic collections and modern ones.
Haha, I am pretty much same. Good enough with friends and family, really bad globally.
As for online, I don’t play much online either (maybe once or twice a year), so don’t get it specifically for me. But if you do ever get it, we can try couple of matches sometimes.
I’ll hit you up when I get it 👍
@picandocodigo What are your favorite Beat ‘em Ups…I played Streets of Rage 4, have River City Girl, but I’m trying to find games that last for more than 3-4 hours.
These are some of my favourites off the top of my head:
- Fight N’ Rage, probably the one I’ve played the most on my Switch after SoR4.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, amazing game. I’d recommend the Cowabunga Collection as well, the best titles in the collection are beat 'em ups.
- Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
- Capcom Beat 'em Up Bundle has some amazing games. I just wish there was a legal way to play Cadillacs and Dinosaurs!
I played River City Girls 1 and got the sequel but haven’t gotten much into it yet.
Nice list!
I have played TMNT and Scott Pilgrim from the list. Haven’t gotten the Capcom Beat’em Up Bundle yet, but played so much of it in olden days.
Fight’N Rage is already on my wishlist (my wish list is so long I don’t even remember half the games on it. Searched “Fight” in it, and found it already there), will check it soon.
If you prefer physical games, there’s a new version of Fight N’ Rage coming out soon which will hopefully be easier to get than the Limited Run Games one: https://www.play-asia.com/fightn-rage/13/70g31v
Don’t care about physical games. Digital FTW!
I just picked up Mario + Rabbids. Just got to world 2 after beating Rabbid Donkey Kong and boy was that a difficulty spike. I’ve always been a big fan of Fire Emblem, and this is very fun with all the movement options and such.
Does anyone know how the sequel holds up? Obviously not a masterclass in terms of story, but very very fun gameplay.
Still on Trails into Reverie.
Long game is long, but I got some good progress this week. Reached the final chaper, did the whole intial section and I’m now free to explore Crossbell while preparing for what I assume is the final dungeon.
However, there’s a ton of extra content that I want to clear before moving on, so I’m now rotating between:
Going to all locations marked as “NEW” on Crossbell for the extra bosses/eventsDone!Doing runs of Stratum 4 of the Reverie Corridor to unlock the missing Daydreams/Minigames/Bonus CharactersDone!Playing the remaining DaydreamsDone!- Playing minigames - Pom Pom Party is addictive, but besides that there’s some minigames that include additional story bits like the one about the Tyrfing S
But I think I’ll finally be able to beat the game during this next week. Which would be good because I got two VNs coming from Play-Asia and looking at the tracking information they should arrive soon.
Edit: Also just found out there’s a free book for this game with the backstories of two of the new characters. It’s available in-game and also on the official website. I just finished converting so I can read this on the Kindle, which honestly sounds like it was worth the effort since it turned out to be even longer than I expected, almost 100 pages!
For New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, if you have one of the SNES controllers (or something similar), that may help. I found it played a bit better than the Pro controller, for some reason. Probably my muscle memory from playing so much SNES back in the day! I thought New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe was really difficult to get through even though I played through and conquered the other Marios.
I think it’s the kind of game where it’s better to use the D-pad than the stick. And the D-pad from the Pro Controller is an absolute joke, registers random stuff all over the place. I use the 8bitdo SNES controller for anything that’s better to play with a D-pad.
Hmm… maybe I can try my DualSense, I have couple of adapters that allow you to connect different controllers with different systems. Would have to look up if they support DualSense.
I’ve just started playing TotK, and so far it’s great! I also try to make some time for Diablo IV and Catan with my SO.
Regarding Super Mario Bros Ultimate, If you think it’s hard in the 2nd world wait till you get down the way. Especially the hidden levels and the star levels. But the game is very fun regardless.
This weekend I am off for vacation and left the Switch home so I am not playing anything
I’m falling deep into the Pikmin nostalgia hole. Bought Pikmin 1 and 2, played the crap out of them. Beat 3 two days before Pikmin 4 dropped, now my girlfriend and eye are casually taking turns (‘2 player’s mode’) working out way through that. I’m usually the type to like difficult and challenging games, but something about the chillness of this new one has got me in a good way.
I might start NSMBUD myself, we’ll see. I’m still playing Dragon Quest and it is really heating up. Love this game. Also I think there’s a Rilaboom available in SV Pokémon raids this weekend, so I’ll fight for that.
I need to get back to DQXI too, but after TotK, trying to clear some smaller games before fully getting into such a long game again. How many hours in are you?
Good luck with the raid!
Outside.
The game? It seems to have very negative comments on steam. How are you liking it?
