Oh my goodness, I was just browsing the e-shop and my favourite game on the Amiga, James Pond II: Robocod, is available!!!!!! It's probably awful without the nostalgia but I have to get it!

Oh and I've just seen they have Okami on there too... I remember playing that and quite enjoying it, despite it not being my usual kind of thing.

That's another great thing about the Switch, there's quite a few random ports of old games that you probably loved before and can play again!

Okami :heart:

 

Yay for a surge in sales for the Switch! Favourite console of mine in a long time. The new games are incredible and the nostalgia jumped out too.

 

Sale on for Final Fantasy games so that's what my quarantine time will be spent on.

So Okami now has 40% off on the switch store, couldn’t resist at less than a tenner

YESSS!!!

I've been looking at adding another game to my collection to pass the downtime, I was looking at Animal Crossing, but ended up going with Fire Emblem Three House's instead.

I know nothing about the franchise, so did a bit of research and watched some gameplay on Switch.

Go to buy it, $111 all in.

 

Great so far.. I'm about 4 hours in and I don't even think I've scratched the surface.

$111 for a Switch game? :huh:

I am a Switcher now and have Pokémon: Shield, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and Crash Bandicoot

 

I may buy some more games next month. I am underwhelmed with Animal Crossing so far tbh but am loving Crash Bandicoot so much omg but why is it so f***ing difficult??? Was it this hard when I was a kid?

Animal Crossing is quite slow, like I've put 15-20 hours in at this point and still everyone is like "just a bit to go and it gets better", like I've opened up more of my island now so I can do more but I just want a cute island already :lol:

$111 for a Switch game? :huh:

 

Yes, but there were a few expansions that were part of the larger purchase (I Guess?).

I just wanted to get all of what I needed at once. In CAD as well.

I found Crash on the Switch harder tbh :lol: I’m not sure why, I think it’s to do with the updated hitboxes making you slide off edges

 

Animal Crossing does seem very slow to start lmao, every day I get the main tasks completed and end up just having to wait until the next day literally just so they can open my museum, houses, etc. I would time travel but I’d feel guilty :lol:

Crash is MUCH harder on Switch, especially the original game.

 

I read somewhere it’s because originally the games had differing levels of responsiveness and the gravity arc has just been used from CB3 as they couldn’t have different mechanisms within the same game, even though it doesn’t entirely suit the original CB. That makes sense to me as I found CB3 to be by far the easiest of the switch version.

Yeah they unified the physics, which kind of made Crash 1 ridiculous :lol: Obviously the game just wasn't built with those physics in mind and whilst most of the time it works, it makes the hard levels from the original (for example Road To Nowhere) infuriatingly hard at times.

Oh I thought it seemed much harder now I know why :lol:

Went for the Switch Lite in the end, add me as a friend!

Getting quite addicted to ac now: wish I had more time to dedicate to it! 🙈

 

So happy I managed to not get stung by a scorpion earlier!

So during lockdown I've completed Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Super Mario Odyssey - really enjoyed both. I'd say they were both really inventive in the way the levels were designed, Donkey Kong never felt repetitive for me and I think the difficulty level was about right. Love the hat thing in Mario Odyssey, if only because I despise water levels usually but swimming around as a fish and not worrying about running out of air is far more pleasurable ^_^

 

I’m currently playing Luigi’s Mansion 3. It’s a great game but the controls can let it down at times.

And now I've just really completed Super Mario Odyssey and got to the secret levels. Such an enjoyable game and the final level is such a nice reminder of all the things you encounter along the way ^_^
