Is there any kind of consensus on what's the best Metroidvania search action game outside of Metroid Dread? Hollow Knight maybe?
Also related to that, in Ori 2 did they change the thing from the first game where there's no attack button and just a tiny creature next to you that auto-attacks everything? I found that to be kind of weird when I tried the demo of the first game.
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Conveniently packaged on Switch with two other decent Metroidvanias.

I'm enjoying Metroid Dread for its style and polish. I wish I hadn't already played Blasphemous on the PC because that would've been amazing on the Switch.

I haven't touched Ring Fit in almost a year, and I'm making myself start again (from the first level, ha) next week. I don't have any balls to smack myself in, but my titties are too drat big and I've popped myself in 'em a couple of times while attempting the ab guard. Nowhere near as painful, I'm sure!

Still not as bad as RE4 VR allegedly is. :P

I think it's a good way to get some exercise in winter, although Ring's voice is already starting to grate.

Blasphemous is the Christo-Latin Dark Souls of Search Action, and the act of playing it is the closest you can get to understanding its themes of flagellation

I still don't understand why they haven't released even one DLC pack for MK8D. Literally millions of people own the game. You'd get a fair number of them to spend more money on the game you already sold them, even just by releasing some new racers and/or tracks.

It's free real estate money (aside from dev costs, but how much could it cost to make some extras for the game?)

Also, happy Wednesday!

Because they released two DLC packs for the original WiiU version that got bundled into the Switch version. Aside from Nintendo just not being very good with DLC in general, I wouldn't be surprised if they just see it as a quick-and-dirty placeholder to fill the Switch library with until they can get the next iteration done. Plus they've got World Tour on phones going as well.

It remains absolutely insane to me that if you look at the two of the 3 biggest and most broadly accessible Switch releases, they are ports of last Gen games from 5 years ago.

Blasphemous has a Spanish voice actors patch that really elevates it, highly recommended. Too slow and hard for me though. Spike pits give me the anxiety.

I cannot stress this enough, even if you have never, ever played a game in subtitles before, but the Spanish VA for Blasphemous is some of the best line delivery in the medium and absolutely elevates the entire game to Hall of Fame levels of video game.

Also when you start the game go DOWN first instead of UP unless you like getting your teeth kicked in by angry nuns.

Was that a pith helmet? Did Kirby absorb colonialism?

Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 I assume are the ones you're talking about, but if you go beyond three(and I assume the third is animal crossing) the next biggest ones are Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Smash Ultimate, Pokemon Sword Shield, Pokemon Pikachu eEvee, Super Mario Party, and Ring Fit Adventure, none of which are ports.

And Breath of the Wild is actually number 4 behind Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Smash, so 2/3 of the too 3 are not ports.

Broke: them shadow dropping an insanely cool trailer for Kirby randomly on Twitter probably means that a direct isn't gonna be happening any time soon

Woke: by getting the Kirby trailer out of the way now, they cleared out 3 minutes of space for even more cool trailers during the Nintendo direct that's happening in the next 2-6 weeks
