Hooray! Fun for the weekend 😎

I already have 3D All Stars but I read that Galaxy 1 is improved, so decided to double dip.

Galaxy 2, I’ve not played since I had it on Wii U.

Here we go!

Trying out starter packs. Here's mine :-)

Beat the Last Judge in Silksong, finally! That took me so many tries …

Hollow Knight: Silksong's first patch will make the early game easier Team Cherry has revealed details of Hollow Knight: Silksong's first patch, which will make the early game a little easier.

Silksong bosses getting slightly easier? I guess I cheesed Moorwing, but I did legitimately beat Sister Splinter. Hard but doable. Widow was the one that just gave me loads of trouble. (Although Sister Splinter did too)

Managed to cheese the Moorwing boss in Silksong.

You can trigger the boss, walk right, then go up - still on the same screen.

He followed me, and I got him up here. He hit me but I dashed to the right and he got stuck. He couldn’t attack so it was an easy win.

To improve performance at Switch Scores, we've changed the nav links.

You will now always see a Members area link in the top right corner.

Click it and you'll either go to the Members area (if logged in) or be asked to log in (if not).

Also, to anyone who’s trying to pump out a review of Silksong super quick.

Take your time.

Loads of people will have bought it already.

Your reviews can be for the people who are undecided, not in a rush to buy, and who probably don’t mind waiting.

It’s already so, so good. I’m barely 1 hour in. Play it.

It’s Silksong day! 🎉

I’m a massive Metroidvania fan and I loved Hollow Knight, so I’m expecting this to be a fun game 😄

How about you? Are you picking up Silksong today?

Finished Crypt Custodian - just in time, a day before Silksong.

I enjoyed it. I got 96% so not quite fully complete, but nearly. It was fun :)

Nintendo Reportedly 'Almost Discouraging' Switch 2 Development as Studios Told to Launch Games on Switch 1 and Rely on Backwards Compatibility Instead - IGN A fresh report has detailed the difficulties faced by some developers keen to launch games for Switch 2 — but who remain unable to do so due to a lack of Nintendo support.

Hmm 🤔

Taking Crypt Custodian for a spin.

I love it :) Big Metroidvania fan here.

OFF “I’m the Batter. I’ve been entrusted with a sacred mission.” One of the most influential RPGs of the last 20 years is finally coming to Nintendo Switch™.

@offtherpg.com Looks like your game is loading on the Nintendo UK website :-)

www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/...

I've updated it on my site:
www.switchscores.com/games/15913/...

I just finished Islets and I loved it. Going to check out Crypt Custodian while I wait for this :)

Ender Magnolia has some great artwork.

One more pic of Islets. This boss was quite silly :)

Hey, thanks for this :) I've set up a page here with the reviews - www.switchscores.com/games/15913/...

Be great if you could let me know when the game is visible on the Nintendo UK website, as without that, I don't have the images.

Woo shiny!

@offtherpg.com Hello! Saw a few reviews of your game, looks interesting. Does it not have a UK release yet? I can only see it in the US. Thanks :)

Finished Islets. What an awesome game 😎

Islets has a cat on a vending machine. This makes it A Good Game.

I feel you!

I’m really sorry to hear that. She looks like a beautiful cat ❤️

Time to jump in! Have you played Islets?

New beta feature for members: quick add to your games collection. Look for the new link marked "beta" after logging in.

- quick search
- sort by newest or A-Z

ChatGPT speaking my language 😅🫠

Ta da! 🎉

For this week's site updates, I'm still adding the low quality games, but I'm not adding the categories.

It doesn't save much time to drop the games altogether, as I still have to go in and check them anyway.

There's a message on those games to say they won't be categorised.

Small timesaver :-)

Switch Scores updates, 18th July:
- added new releases, reviews, next week's upcoming titles
- added a banner to Recent Top Rated to show if the game is Switch 1 or 2
- used this banner to replace the one on the game page so it looks better
