    It’s all about Fire Emblem - the hot games this week

    Last week I fished four games out of the ether that looked interesting, and actually ended up both buying and very much enjoying two of them. If you enjoy a roguelike as much as I do, be sure to give Wanderburg and The Loopler a look. This week I figured I’d do the same dive, albeit maybe a...

    Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale goes live in the US, made possible by tariff-related refunds

    Gold Points don't exist any more do they? Regardless they would still be able to figure something out for digital purchases if they wanted to. If it were spread the refund amount across every user I do wonder how little that would be in the end though.

    Nintendo's Customer Appreciation Sale goes live in the US, made possible by tariff-related refunds

    Announced a few days ago, Nintendo of America have today launched their Customer Appreciation Sale. Featuring 30% discounts across a wide range of popular first-party Switch titles, it could be a good opportunity to try a game you might have passed up on in the past. In their press release...

    I got that version of The Walking Dead an absolute age ago and never got around to it. Does the game tell the complete story? Like is it a complete replacement for the comics or TV series? It's another thing that's been on my list for far too long lol

    Oh no that's totally valid. It's the type of game that'll either click or it won't, I wouldn't say it's a skill thing.

    Ahahaha, I really do want to enjoy Freedom Unite. And I will give it a fair shot again at some point. It's just every time I go back to it, I'm reminded how good I had it in the third generation. As for things clicking, I was a child of the Dual Blades for my first game, so there really wasn't...

    The weekend is here, what are you playing?

    To be fair I started with 3 Ultimate so I do kinda get it. It’s a fight I like more in the later game when I’m set up (and conceptually it’s one of the coolest monsters in the series). Admittedly a good chunk of my struggle was the misguided assumption that there was a limit to what it could...

    I did see this and got quite excited: Controller support at launch is really what I was waiting to hear. Doesn't sound too heavy on the gacha elements either. Will definitely give it a shot, though time will tell whether it lives up to the expectations.

    Hot damn do I feel that. I really should've gone back to that instead of starting Portable 3rd. I just got excited for Outlanders and thought having an Android handheld setup for Monster Hunter would be fun lol

    The weekend is here, what are you playing?

    At some point I want to give the PS2 games a go, if only to fight a few of the monsters that never made it to other games. I think most of the interesting ones are from Monster Hunter 2 though. I think the Yama Tsukami is also a bit more interesting in MH2 vs Freedom Unite. I'll get to it...

    How are you finding those? I remember when they came out they got a lot of flak for their linearity. Outside of that are they worth playing?

    Hardware How to get a Zelda Switch 2? They sell out in seconds

    Sites like this do help if you want to stay on the ball with stock appearing: https://stock-checker.com/products/gaming/nintendo-switch-2-zelda-40th I've used them in the past (maybe not that one specifically) and managed to get orders in pretty quick. It's a brutal landscape with limited...

    Gosh it's on my list to play before the third game comes out, it's just trying to slot in such a huge RPG. Monster Hunter is just easy to pick up for a quest or two on a commute lol

    The weekend is here, what are you playing?

    It's been something of a quiet week in the gaming space, with the deluge of big hitters trying to find their place before GTA 6 launches really kicking off next week. Even so we've had some good releases; Valheim got its 1.0 release, there's a new Legend of Heroes game, and Mewgenics found its...
