Well I see I picked the WORST time to come back to the Switch thread.

Haven't touched the Switch in months cos I was lent a Steamdeck (which owns btw). But now I'm back playing (strangely enough) TotK and this game is an all-timer, just an absolute delight.

Did I miss any huge game announcements in the last 4 months?

On top of getting most of the benefits of the mirror and knowing the boss stages and movements inside out it was mainly about figuring out my favourite gods' boons and rolling with those

Artemis and her crits are hands down the best boons, stacking status curses to get the damage bonus from the mirror, and then making cast builds if you get the right Demeter/Zeus boons is my way to go. I mostly hate Aphrodite and Poseidon for weak and knockback, unless you can get the buff to weak that also makes foes susceptible to more damage. Athena's dash deflect is also great as a crutch when you're less confident in your timing for dashing through attacks.

On my best runs I would know things were going well when in the small temple of styx rooms I could press like 6 buttons and immediately win. Obviously I had less optimal builds where there was a lot of kiting, plinking and hiding-behind-rocks in the final battle.

Deck does indeed own. I got one last year. Perfect companion to the Switch (currently playing Bloodstained on it).

You've missed out on some Mario goodness the past few months! We got Super Mario Wonder and Super Mario RPG remake. Both are a delight if you're at all interested in Mario, so you should check them out!

Enjoy TotK. I need to go back and actually finish that myself. I left off at the Fire Temple.

You've developed essentially the opposite play strategy from what I can discern is the current meta, which is fun as hell.

Are the hidden treasure chests worth going after with my kid? He's ignored them so far and is boosters mansion right now, I think he's near the end. I don't think he's spent a single frog coin yet.

He's about halfway through the game. They are helpful especially the flowers. Not necessary but helpful.

There's nothing in them that's really spectacular. When he gets to near the end of the game, he'll get an accessory that helps pinpoint where they are, if he feels like hunting for them. I equipped that and went back through each area and still ended up missing one so rip. I decided I was done at that point.

Depends on how much he likes exploring, really!

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
I am loving the Prince of Persia game. The guided mode is perfect for me, a bad dad gamer who doesn't have time or energy to get lost in a maze.

Also the traps, platforming, and shadow self fights remind me a lot of the old 2D games I played as a kid.

The most recent power-up i got seems to be completely weird and bizarre. The mirror image teleport thing. Cool!

Tip for anyone playing: do the little challenges with the fighting trainer guy, because there's like, fighting game combo poo poo in this game that you definitely don't know about.

Guys do you think we should port a game to what's soon to be the number one best selling console?
Is the install base too low?
