Is Wargroove basically like middle ages Advanced Wars?

It definitely wants to be, the characters are charming and the close combat strategy is fun, but most of the maps are way too big and it makes 80% of the game kind of a chore

Monkey Ball's not great, either

Amazon doing a 3 for the price of 2 and thinking of getting that and Monkey Ball and Slay the Spire for around $66

Wargeoove is aggressively boring and fire emblem, which is nothing like advance wars is a better turn strategy game.

Nintendo should just do like Pokémon and make 2 new games: The adventures of Link and the Legend of Zelda, where you play both sides of the adventure, so the people who want Zelda can have a whole Zelda game, and the people who want Link can play a whole Link game

Are there any other really good co-op games? They don't necessarily have to be Trine-like. Ideally online, couch co-op would be a bonus but not necessary.

I'm gonna add Think of the Children to the same-screen list above. It's often discounted and while the balance is off for single-player it is great fun in co-op trying to keep all those little shits alive.

Furthermore, it is not the first time that the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Darkness (we use this name for now) is being speculated on a new Nintendo console. Fans have indeed noticed that Switch was released along with the first Breath of the Wild, while Lite will be released on the same day as Link’s Awakening. Pro should, therefore, go out with Breath of the Darkness, according to fan logic.

The boss fights are more a case of pattern recognition than difficulty, they're very formulaic. I beat Misuzu at least on the first try on my second playthrough once I remembered her pattern. The boss in question is more a case of basically surviving until she makes herself vulnerable. Bring healing items.

Okay, so normally we need to grind through each cigarette at a rate of about one per ten minutes over several years. But with this strat we're just gonna caaaarefully hold the entire box's contents in one hand and light them all at the same time to puff away. Repeating this will get us from healthy to cancerous lungs much quicker, but it's very risk-reward on being able to get ourselves healthy from there for the big experience gains in as short amount of time as possible without dying spontaneously from a heart attack.

Aaaand, the diagnosis is inoperably terminal in both lungs. Fantastic, this is just what we want! Normally we'd have to roll dice on the transplant path and see if the RNG decided to find a donor before our HP drain outpaces the medicine and life-support buffs, but there's a quicker path on this route. You see, this is why we kept spending all our social time with that one cousin instead of our friends; They're compatible for transplant organs as a backup in case we screw up on any route we take in this game aaaand we just cleared the social check to get them to offer us a lung. We'll be back on our feet and net some tidy social and EXP boosts out of doing it this way rather than living a healthy life in the same timeframe.

Now you'll notice we haven't picked up a marital partner yet in this run, and rather than mucking about in the dating sidegames, I've been using the limited social time slots to flirt with the attending nurse thanks to the empathy bonuses we get during treatment (and why I waited for the transplant option last after all the other procedures, rather than shooting right for it upon diagnosis)... Aaaand she turned us down, I should've asked BEFORE the surgery instead of after, my bad. Still, we're on life-support so it's easy enough to kill this run instead of shambling on for another 30-40 years trying to recoup the score; Just gonna reach over to pull the plug on the life-support and... there we go, flatline achieved. And that's why I filled out the DNR before surgery.
