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.

Will I ever stop playing TOTK?
Nope. Not for the forseeable future. 😎
Though there are some new tracks on Mario Kart 8 i might want to try a bit.

I was wondering what I had forgotten! New tracks on Mario Kart!
TotK is a game that you can play for a long long time. How far along are you?
storywise i just have to go for Ganondorf at this point. Currently exploring the depths and using it to track missing shrines.

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
Not hard in general, but there was a certain portion in world 2 where I lost about 4 lives.
Vacations are great, stay away from screens, and have lots of fun!
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.

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.
I would compare it more with X-Com than Fire Emblem. Technically, they are very similar, but in my mind, they are very different games.
As for the sequel, I haven't played it myself yet, but have heard great things about it. I loved the first one, and from what I have seen second one improves on it a lot.
Ah I never played XCOM. But from what I’ve seen they do look really similar.
If you like Mario+Rabbids, and don't mind playing umm... a "rugged" version of it, without Mario characters, and some base-building mechanics included, check out XCom 2. They also a released a Marvel: Midnight Suns, which I think is more approachable than XCom 2, though I haven't played that yet.

Now that I finished Tears of the Kingdom, it's time to get back to finishing the last two stories in Octopath Traveller 2.
Nice! Which 2 are left? I haven't played it yet, but have seen all the characters.
The final chapters of Agnes and Partitio. And I guess there's gonna be a final final boss again, like in the first game.

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.
Wow, nice! I am glad you are enjoying Pikmin! I should show it to my wife too, it looks like a kind of game she might enjoy.
3 is the best for an active 2 player experience (at least as far as the story goes). The multiplayer battle modes are good in both

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.

Pikmin 4. Had to get it after playing the demo. Fun and relaxing and very well suited for quick sessions.. then I saw Octopath Traveller 2 was on sale and now I’m 10 hours deep into that..

Husband plays Tears of the Kingdom while I'm at work, farming resoures and fighting. I take over in the evenings to do the questing and puzzles that he doesn't like.

Still playing Smite but it crashes on modes that aren't assault
Is that a known issue? Or just something with your game?
Maybe you can try contacting the devs, maybe there's some workaround in the works.
I sent a feedback message because I'm on switch and this didn't happen as often on pc

Been doing a side by side thing where I play my n64 games then play the equivalents or remakes of them on the switch. Think this weekend will involve some pokemon snap and new pokemon snap action.
That sounds like fun! Just having fun or do you stream / post your videos somewhere?
There's also a !pokemon_snap@lemmy.piperservers.net community, where you can post your Pokémon Snap Snaps (though currently it's just one person sharing their snaps, they are sometimes to fun look at)
Mainly just for fun, usually do it when I'm watching over my nephew. He just turned 10 and loves the Nintendo games, and I'm just an avid retro collector who likes to somewhat "teach" / keep the history of the retro games. He can't get enough of "how different everything looked back then".
Maybe I should do some documentation and share the differences some place! Thanks for pointing me at the snap community btw 😀.

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/events~~ Done!
- ~~Doing runs of Stratum 4 of the Reverie Corridor to unlock the missing Daydreams/Minigames/Bonus Characters~~ Done!
- ~~Playing the remaining Daydreams~~ Done!
- 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!

Still side questing/shrine hunting in TotK. Didn't play as much as usual this week, it's been a bit busy preparing for a vacation I'm taking next week, so I probably won't play much next week either. Any tips on how to beat lynels?

Playing no-build Fortnite with some buds tonight. Will try to get some Tears of the Kingdom or Octopath Traveller 2 in as well
I am not a fan of BR, but Fortnite has become pretty good, specially the no-build mode. The feel of the game has improved a lot since it's earlier days.
How far along are you in Tears of the Kingdom and Octopath Traveller 2?

Exactly how I felt too. They regularly switch out weapons and items so it keeps it fresh, but a little frustrating when they take away something you like.

Not very far at all in totk, I thin I've done 10 shrines maybe. We have a new born in the house so that keeps me pretty busy. For octopath I'm nearing the end, most characters are high lvl 30s or 40s. Almost time to start some chapter 4s

Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. Fun game, good port, and harder than I remembered.
Also putting more time in TOTK, Diablo 4, and WoW.
Wow, so many games. I didn't know about Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes, but looked up some details on launch, and now planning to play it someday.
How far along are you in TotK and Diablo 4? Finished the campaign in Diablo? And who are you playing as?
Also, how's the WoW community these days? I was under the impression that it's pretty much over now.
CoH is one of those games that isn’t quite a “recommended to everyone” game but it’s one that I think many will really like. It’s also only $15 right now, so not a huge investment if you don’t like it. Kinda weird there haven’t been many similar games made (I was aware of like 2).
Completed the Diablo 4 campaign. Loved the story (lots of good stories in the side quests too) and the ending cinematic was one of the best they’ve ever done. First play through was a chain lightning Sorcerer and now trying a werewolf Druid on Season 1. Have also played Necromancer and a little bit of Barbarian.
WoW’s community is kinda toxic sometimes in group stuff. Population wise, it still has plenty of people. The latest expansion, Dragonflight, is one of their best expansions. Having a lot of fun with it.
