Yet another amazing video game releasing this fall. If you're into roguelites or beat-em'-ups, don't let Absolum pass you by!

Did you know I’ve got a starter pack of awesome people who make awesome video game books and magazines?

I might be grabbing Z-A on both S1 and S2 with my kids wanting to play as well. Thankful it's on the voucher list.

Outlaws is also on my short list of what to play next. I'm happy to hear Grand Bazaar was good enough to hold your attention that long. @culafi.bsky.social was also digging it, if I recall.

Found this on Reddit. Whatcha playin' this month??

For me, it's DQ1+2, Mina, Pokemon, Ball x Pit, PvZ, and maybe Yooka.

Nintendo Of America Executes Executive Shuffle: Bowser To Retire, New CEO, First Female President - News

The cabinet that is Nintendo of America will be shuffled on New Year's Day, including a first in more than 135 years of Nintendo.

Ah, it's too bad to hear about another closure. I do hope we'll get another Mana game down the line at some point.

Played two hours of Visions of Mana last night, having wanted to play around launch but not having time to do so.

I found the opening of the game incredibly slow, with constant dialogue interjections really hurting the pacing. If it gets better, I may keep going, but otherwise I'm probably done.

The video wouldn't have come together without Willem. Another team effort at NWR!

Yeah, Borderlands looked rough at PAX, and all the PC issues the game seems to have already aren't a good look.

I'm still playing it, and I'm still hooked. The sequel has its claws in me even worse than the first Hades game. And 120 fps on Switch 2 is immaculate.

I know September is loaded with amazing games, but this is a must-play for tactics fans. I absolutely loved coming back to this world, story, and gameplay.

Rolled credits on Silksong last night, and what an experience it was. Clear time was just under 26 hours, but felt shorter.

I can say it exceeded my expectations and will definitely be up for my own GOTY. The way those boss fights get your heart pumping is unreal. Bravo, @teamcherry.bsky.social

A Game in the Life: A Personal Journey Through Timeless… Video games are a nostalgia-producing machine, and A Ga…

Lots of amazing video games are coming out this month, but if you want a break between Silksong boss attempts, I'd love if you checked out my book: A Game In The Life.

If you already picked it up, leaving a review online, like on Goodreads, would make my day.

I just want more folks to have a chance to reach that (logical) conclusion by themselves.

Of the four games, Z2 needs the most love. Would be cool if Nintendo gave the project to a smaller team, maybe even an indie dev.

Would you rather have remakes of Zelda 1 and 2 or the Oracle games?

For me, the latter are still really playable today, but that's tougher to say about the first two Zelda games. If I can't get both, give me a new version of Zelda 2, please!

Star Wars Outlaws is more than just a technical marvel on Switch 2. It is also a pretty darn good game. @whilhorst.bsky.social has our full review. youtu.be/ev9Qo9_OQM8

I get that determination of wanting to overcome major obstacles. The feeling of finally beating one of these tough bosses is like nothing else.

I can't stop thinking about or playing this beautiful, charming, brutal, lonely, vibrant, challenging, rewarding video game. Silksong was absolutely worth the wait.

Octopath Traveler 0 arrives on Switch 2 at the end of the year and @jrudek.bsky.social had an opportunity to give it a try at PAX West. youtu.be/DqquWIy6VTA

There's music taken from the game from the very beginning of the video, but the review itself begins around 0:15.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is a little rough around the edges from a technical perspective, but can solid gameplay save the day? Find out in our review from @jrudek.bsky.social youtu.be/zJdBxIzhDPU?...

Agreed! I'm ready for another playthrough and to finally try the DLC.

One of the first games I played at PAX West this year was Elden Ring on Nintendo Switch 2, and I came away much more impressed and hopeful than I had been after all of the Gamescom pieces. See my @nintendonwr.bsky.social impressions from the event below!

I had the pleasure of going hands-on with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds during Gamescom. Including getting to try a new mode called Race Park. It's emphasis on IP is noteworthy, but the racer underneath took me a bit longer than expected to come to grips with.👇
