Nintendo Switch

I’m probably not your usual gamer person I guess. Not really into shooting things, ya know? Really like Zelda, for example, but wish the game would leave me alone and let me just explore the world.

Got the Pokémon game a week or so ago and am enjoying it immensly. Played it with my daughter maybe 15 years ago on the DS. She’s now 24 so playing Pokémon is incredibly nostalgic for me (and fun!). Yes, yes, I know, I have kids older than a lot of you. And she’s the younger of my two.

Just got a new game yesterday called Abzû. I’ve played it for maybe an hour and a half this morning and still can’t really describe it. Basically you’re swimming underwater and, well, doing things now and then. Sort of. It’s sort of a puzzle game. I think. But it’s maybe more of an explore-the-world game. Kind of. Totally enjoying it though. Maybe not for you if you enjoy blowing things up but it’s a unique and interesting game. Worth at least checking out the trailer.

Lastly, looking forward to a game called Conduct Together, coming out in about a week. It’s sort of a Sims train game where you build track layouts and run trains, but the goal is to avoid crashing them for as long as you can. And you can have multiple people driving the individual trains I think (hence the “Together” part of the name). So yes, this is a game where you end up blowing things up but that’s pretty much the opposite of the goal, although it *is* half the fun.

One more game coming up, a Switch version of the board game Carcassonne, out in a couple of weeks I think. Also, links:

Got the Switch a few months ago and it's flippin sweet!

I highly recommend paying the $20/year for the online: https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/pricing/

It gives you access to 20 NES games and they keep adding 3 a month, I believe. You can play Techmo Bowl, Hockey (with the fat, skinny, medium dudes), etc.

Edit: here's more info on the NES Online, like what games they have: https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/nes/

Just sprung for the full year as my free trial was wrapping up. Nice selection of games, and a way better user experience than my Raspbery Pi emulator. A steal at $20/year.

totally! It's been my gateway to friends and family when they're over - I'll be like, "you ever play Ice Hockey from the 80s"? I'm pretty much a video game pusher
 
Daughter turned 7 in March. Decided to get it got “myself” as an early bday present bc target was offering $25 back this week. We played Mario cart for 2 hours together. I downloaded the NES games (with 1 yr subscription) and FIFA when she went to bed. Plan to use the $25 on Zelda today. Anyone else have fifa to play against?
