I've been playing Mario Sunshine and Galaxy in the 3D All Stars collection, using a pair of Nyxi Wizard joycons (that I modded to have OEM GC sticks and buttons :cool:) and I'm having a blast. I never got past Galaxy's tutorial on the Wii, but I'm loving it on the Switch. Hopefully by the time I finish it, Galaxy 2 will be available for to move onto :v:

I really hope the Switch 2 keeps backwards compatibility with joycons as well as games so I can continue playing with these ridiculous GC joycons. With some pretty minor modding they're basically perfect apart from the digital triggers.

I want to get excited for Mario Wonder but it’ll at the end of the day only be another 2D Mario game and we had a whoooooole bunch of those in the 2010s AND Mario Maker.

The only way this’ll get me excited is if they really deviate from the modern 2D Mario level design formula of “introduce new gimmick -> ramp up difficulty of gimmick -> subvert the gimmick” and make it more like Mario World where they were just vibing and playing around with the really cool 2d game engine they created.

Otherwise eh, it’ll at least still be fun.

This is exactly how I feel. "Ooh, new Mario game... Looks like it plays a bit differently than NSMB, which I'm more than over with." Like, gently caress, I don't even make NSMB-themed levels in Mario Maker 2 because of that style. I think I might hate it. :ohdear:

I'm hoping I'll feel better towards Wonder.

Finally gotten around to playing Rain Code and this sure is a game by the Danganronpa creator.

I'm loving this poo poo. :allears: I wasn't quite sure what the Mystery Labyrinth was gonna quite be like going in, I figured it might be more dungeon crawl-y/RPG-y, but instead it's just a delightfully nonsensical train of thought working out whodunnit. I've just completed Chapter 1, and I did not expect the Prologue to go as it did.

This is what happens when they start letting Waluigi be in these games! I know he's not in Wonder. Not anymore. But removing him that late into development wasn't enough! :negative:

Ok just got off the phone with Miyamoto, turns out the "turn flowers voice off" option is a mistranslation. If you toggle it, it actually makes the flowers louder and permanent in all games. So say when you play metroid prime 4 on Switch 2, the local foliage will pipe up with stuff like "I bet you can get up there!" or "You'd really share your water with me??"

The two I know of are Fishing Paradisio and Dredge. The former is a retro-styled thing, while the latter is horror.

I have yet to play either...be my guinea pig! :colbert:

I was just thinking “man, it sucks I signed up for a (compulsory) shadowing shift at work on Friday instead of scheduling myself in the field so I can’t go pick up Mario wonder at 10am” but then I looked at the best buy site and I apparently ordered it to be delivered. Which because they use ups means it won’t get here until like 3:30 but that’s better than having to drive to Best Buy and get it at 5:30 while the kids fight over it. I kind of wish they didn’t know about it until a week after it comes out.

Dredge is great, and has a passive mode now, so you can get the monsters to ignore you, if you just want to fish, and not bother with the horror stuff.
Loading up my crab pots to go set a string, dragging a trawl net around, while I explore for spots to jig up an eldritch horror from the abyss!
A+
True the Fishing part isn't very involved.
It's more open world adventure / exploration with a boat that also has Fishing in it.

Why does autocorrect capitalize Fishing?

My local library has one. (Springfield, Oregon)
A cursory search shows 339 games in the library's holdings.

Edit: Of course, 90+% of them are checked out and will probably never be returned.
Edit: Corrected the number.

Depends on how new the game is. A new release like Remnant 2 was one week no renewals but dredge I would have been able to renew 4 times

Vancouver Island regional library has a shared catalogue across branches, and we can request any book or media for borrowing at our local.
Video games and dvds/cds, etc are a week. You can renew online up to 3 times consecutively, provided nobody has put a hold request in the system.
Pretty skookum, as they say around here.
Oh, and you can return at any branch, no problem.

About another 4 hours into Wonder. Those talking shrooms are barely noticeable. You'll be too busy playing the game like Princess said. And when you do notice it's just adds atmosphere
