Looking forward to your review 🫡

Such a good episode overall! Honestly my little girl has made me such a Bluey fan I love watching it even though it makes me cry in like 90% of the episodes.

“The Sign” basically ruins me every time.

Oh that’s awfully quick. Guess I better get reading even quicker.

If I can sign in with retro achievements on this then it will save me trying to work out a dual screen attachment for my deck

Ugh I haven’t even caught up enough to start it yet! When’s the end of their new one?

Sometimes it feels like a safe episode and then a one-liner comes out of nowhere and hits you in the feels HARD.

Starting to think about what I can and will complete by the end of the year.

As a minimum I am thinking:

- Digimon Story Time Stranger
- Yooka-Laylee (original)
- Pokémon Legends Z-A

I can see myself pumping a lot of hours between Digimon and Pokémon on extra stuff.

It's cool of them to do it, but I think transparency would've helped immediately.

They surely know what happens when you spark a fire on the internet, right?

Nintendo need to learn to manage expectations better.

Doing a two day tease campaign just to say "look at how good Nintendo Pictures Co., Ltd is" isn't a good way of doing that lol.

What a bad day to know how to read.

I don’t mind the DLC plan, happy to jump into it. Understand not everyone would be happy with that.

But I’m talking about the core aspect of the gameplay. For me, personally, CrossWorlds feels a lot better and rewarding in that sense.

Can't disagree with this. CrossWorlds for me ultimately does what MK World set out to do... but better.

It's also just shy of 4 minutes meaning Mother 4 is close.

PIKMIN 5 LET'S GO

So have I slipped into an alternate dimension where Nintendo are making Pixar-esque animations now or did everyone else get that Nintendo Today thing

Time Stranger feels like the RPG that Digimon always deserved to receive but didn't until now.

Yeah I hope so. It just feels like they want to make everything so open and less focused, which is good in some ways - but it would be nice to go back and have games where there is a definitive route or way to solve a puzzle again.

Mario Kart definitely didn't need it. It's the least used mode for me. Only did it to unlock Mirror Mode.

I'd like a return to a more focused Zelda. BoTW/ToTK are phenomenal but I don't know how fun exploring an open Hyrule a third time would be.

Bit concerned about Metroid Prime 4.

I will start by saying that almost every game that has done it has pulled it off rather well.

But I wish Nintendo would stop turning all of their games into open worlds.

Good to hear! I actually can’t wait to play it.

I think I need to make a “must play” list from my backlog for 2026. Two of those that immediately come to mind are:

- FFVII (original)
- Chrono Trigger

Sunday beer while cooking a roast > literally everything else

Reviews for Digimon Story Time Stranger are looking good. Metacritic currently at an 82.

I am beyond excited for this game.

Thank you!

No not planning to upgrade my 3060 soon tbh. Mainly I'm looking for 1440p for my Switch and I'll probably just play 1080p on my 3060 for newer titles and higher res if I can for older ones.

90% of the time I play streaming from PC to my deck anyway.

I sent one to him and he told me things about it but didn't recommend any alternatives 🤣

Could anyone recommend a reasonably priced gaming monitor?

Aiming for 1440p and anything 120hz+

Will be gaming with my Switch 2 + my PC (3060 graphics card).

There's so much information to take in with monitors I'm finding it hard to know whats best.

Thank you! Debating getting this between Switch 2 and PC so this might clinch it.

Bit of a niche question - but I don't suppose you know if this plays nicely streaming with Steam from PC > Steam Deck?

I know I can use programmes like Moonlight but I prefer to just run right through the Steam UI.

I want all of these.

Can someone send a bajillion pounds to my bank account please?
