    I haven’t felt abused by a video game in quite some time as I did during my first game of Tetris 99

    Don't select badges or KOs until late in the game, like final 25 or so.

    Keep it on attackers till then.

    I played 5 or so games of Tetris 99 yesterday morning. I think the best I did in any game was ~ 85th. It really put a damper on my Sunday. feelsbadman

    Finished co-op Kirby Star Allies with my wife yesterday.

    It was charming and had some memorable characters but good grief, that entire experience was incohesive and far too simple. I’m not sure there was ever an actual narrative until the final boss appeared. That battle was remarkably fun and unlike anything in the rest of the game. Almost seems like they dropped their entire budget into the ending.

    5/10 would not recommend, even for the kiddos

    I played the demo and felt like it was on rails and the game was being played for me.

    I’m hoping Yoshi isn’t a similar situation.

    Yoshi very much looks like a reskin.

    Loved it, but couldn't beat the boss before the Devil. Beautiful animation and so much fun. I love old school hard games.

    You’re a god damn masochist. I’m still afraid of the Hollow Knight.

    I’m doing the base game plus Colosseum and Grimm Troupe right now and have these bosses left. I think they’re somewhat ranked by difficulty. Not even gonna fuck with Godhome. :laugh:

    Nightmare King Grimm - Dirtmouth
    The Radiance - Black Egg
    Grey Prince Zote - Dirtmouth
    Lost Kin - Ancient Basin
    Failed Champion - Forgotten Crossroads
    Soul Tyrant - Soul Sanctum
    White Defender - Royal Waterways
    God Tamer - Colosseum
    Troupe Master Grimm - Dirtmouth
    Oblobble - Colosseum
    The Hollow Knight - Black Egg
    Enraged Guardian - Crystal Peak

    honestly the god forsaken Watcher Knights gave me the most trouble. Dat feeling when you finally beat a tough boss though.

    if you upgrade your nail to max, you can just cheese the fuck out of Hollow Knight and make quick work of him.

    I think I got sidetracked and have gotten about 15 of the bosses since I last attempted him. Should be okay now.

    Sending my Switch to you for the level with all of the back-to-back bosses. That beat me down mentally and now it’s been waiting for me for months.

    still mind boggling that there is no Virtual Console equivalent for the Switch. Nintendo is leaving millions of dollars on the table. I know I'd spend at least a couple hundred on some old Wii and Gamecube titles.

    Playing them on Switch or on my emulator over the years I am still baffled how I played these games as a kid.

    Playing Ice Hockey for 5 minutes and I'm just getting obliterated and can barely make my guys move how I want. I don't know how I used to do this as an 8 year old

    The Switch is the goat travel console. Played hollow knight for about two hours on the plane, battery was only down to 70% after.

    with a toddler at home it's the only way I can finish a game now because I can take it anywhere. No way I would have been able to finish Mario and Zelda with an at-home console only. And it's not like portable consoles are new but this one's quality (software wise) is just so much ahead of anything.

    Hollow Knight is very good. Glad I decided to try it again, wish I could sync saves with Steam.

    Got to sing some more Yoshi praise...game is blowing away all my expectations. I’m playing it by 100%ing each area(so far 2-3 levels at a time) before moving on. Exploring every nook and cranny frontwards and back several times is surprisingly addicting. The level design is downright brilliant and the platforming is much meatier than I expected. I imagine it wouldn’t be a very impressive experience if you just breezed through the levels, but finding every secret and playing the levels over and over until you unlock everything is fantastic.
