| It really doesn't. There's like 3 versions of the map and if you die you lose your shit, but that's literally it. |

| I didn't know you even could die. I've been bitten a couple of times but can't see a health bar or anything. Noted about the three versions of the map though, that's okay.
Finally cleared the prologue today. It looks nice but everything else is distinctly unimpressive. That and the setting give me distinct The Touryst energy, which isn't the best. Still, I'm struggling to find other games that wow me and the fishing is a decent loop, so I'll persevere for a bit. (I did finish The Touryst after all.)
It's not an indie game though Geoff. |

| It isn't indie, we've talked about it before and seen a lot of talk around it. Which Greg at Kinda Funny (they had some good chat on it) put an X out saying if Naughty Dog let a team of 10 make a 2D game, would that be an indie and his poll majority was Yes, which is crazy.
Though does explain why the 120+ industry outlets voted for Dave the Diver, why it was in as Geoff said that's what industry said it was (not his choice), and guess why no BGIII in indie as look at it. |

| So I finished Super Mario Bros. Wonder the other night and will talk about it in the finished thread at some point. And did think that's me sorta done now with the Switch till Peach, then I got these two today... ![What are you playing on your Switch 2: Play Harder - Page 22 20231211](https://i.servimg.com/u/f67/18/08/74/38/20231211.jpg) This is now what I'll be playing on Switch, also this was basically my Xmas gifts part from money and a lynx (not that lynx) set. |

| I also recently finished Wonder, and as I had a day to myself on Christmas Eve, I started some games which will presumably be what I'm playing for the foreseeable.
Donkey Kong Country is clicking with me more than it has in the past. Playing as Diddy is smoother than Donkey, and after my enjoyment of Lost Levels and slight disappointment with Wonder, the difficulty hasn't been a turn-off . . . yet.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin was a birthday present and I put an hour or two in. I love the vibes, and I'm excited to play more. The combat is a little floaty and I hope the farming doesn't get too complex. The 3D sections around the hub make me wish the whole game was an Okami-alike.
And finally Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon's storybook aesthetic feels more christmassy than the explicitly-set-at-Christmas Bayonetta 2. I'm enjoying it, though its slow pace makes it difficult to play for huge sessions.
I also installed the whole Metal Gear Solid Collection Part 1 so I can play those at my leisure. |

| After beating Mario Wonder and a couple of quick pallette cleansers I've started on Fire Emblem Engage which I realise now is only my second ever mainline Fire Emblem game. ![Shocked](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_eek.gif) First impressions are largely as expected, top tier gameplay and anime bullshit, it also looks a heck of a lot nicer than I thought it did, the art style really pops in handheld, imagine if I had an OLED, it'd blow my socks off. |

| Bayonetta Origins, I can get the whole feels like Xmas game but isn't. Like now seen people say Wonka is this years Christmas movie though has nothing to do with Xmas and then on TV be stuff like the OG Charlie and Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter, Shrek etc |

| I got Mario Wonder for Christmas! Desperately trying to finish post-credits Pikmin 4 stuff before I play it - (which is like a hardcore challenge itself, because if it takes me too long I have to replay some of it) |

... Okay, you might want to read a guide for the farming. I'm Sakuna's biggest fan/apologist and I absolutely mainlined a walkthrough for the farming at first. Then again, I thought the combat was enough to make it an all-timer on its own. As for me: lots of Mario Kart with the family, and lots and lots of Smash with my sister. It's reminded me how much I bloody adore Smash in general. After the Fighter Pass churned out an interminable series of new lads (mostly) I couldn't be bothered with, roughly 140% of them being anime swordboys, I fell out of love with the game. Away from that it's absolutely excellent stuff. Nothing like it. |

| At least for me, things are starting to cool off on Switch. There’s nothing up ahead that I’m really looking forward to but I’m fine with that. I thought the Switch had a cracking 2023, and a break in the schedule affords me ample opportunity to address the fact that I’ve got literally dozens of unplayed Switch games physically and digitally that have been bought over these last seven years.
I’m starting off 2024 with Lil Gator Game and Hotline Miami Collection, two games I assume I’ll enjoy but simply didn’t get round to earlier in the Switch’s life.
After those it’s a toss-up between starting (and hopefully finishing) Metroid Prime Remastered, Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and Bayonetta Origins. Does anyone recommend any of those over the others? |

| I genuinely can't see you getting on with BayOrigins Cappa. There's a lot of words in there, and if I thought they were a bit cloying I can't imagine you'd love them. Meanwhile Metroid Prime is still one of the greatest games ever. I'll stay mum on the game from what is now the worst company (that we know of) in the industry, trusting that at least you didn't pay them full whack.
I also felt the Switch starting to wind down last year, remakes and remasters aside. I imagine it'll do more of that this year. Unfortunately I don't have your backlog (I've got several games on the go and lined up - I'm just not enthused about them...), so I'm jonesing for that next machine!
In the meanwhile I'm playing Super Mario RPG, natch. |

| You've seen my Top Nintendo games list for 2023 and people can work out from my scores of all the games I've played this year elsewhere, for me, it has very much been a wind down year for the Switch and going into 2024 there's only two games I'm bothered about.
Though I do have backlog or recent games like Super Mario RPG for Xmas. |

| Yep.
The US Government gave the Catholic church one trillion dollars to cover all the child assault lawsuits.
In mexico, almost every major church is built over a pre-existing temple from one of the cultures the Spanish tried to genocide.
St Cuthberts Church in Wells was right outside my apartment window and played loud bells ever 15 minutes, even more so on the hour, which would awaken my guests who were sleeping in the living room. |

| Due to things like this
"Also, a quick reminder that even if you played something on a non-Nintendo machine, if it got a (good) Switch version this year it goes in the Nintendo vote. So, Dave the Diver, Chants of Sennaar, Ghost Trick and the like are all for the Nintendo vote. This catches people out every year, and nobody likes the old 'would you like to swap it over' discussion!"
I digress as I started Sea of Stars on PS5 via Portal, and darn it's such a beautiful game along with the music I have heard (playing handheld so watching something on the TV) is good. The turn based system is fine, and has a little bit of play input with the timing with attacks & blocks (get me ready from SMRPG). At the moment only 3hrs in, still lots to play, and maybe it will get better or worse over the 28hrs HLTB time. |
