Guys, wait till they start quoting each other and liking each-others' posts

Doing my best to clean these up when they occur. But that's the age of what the internet has come to.

by the way, the new Super Mario Wonder is amazing! Been playing this smaller indie game called Cocoon and it's a visual feast (if you like puzzle games)

Finished both SMW and Tears of the Kingdom this year, both worth it

Agreed! I spent more time on Zelda this year than everything on Xbox - don't think I played a lick of PlayStation (I did a few of their exclusives last year).

Since everyone is jumping on the year end wrap up ala Spotify, I was able to get some metrics:

Nintendo
13 games
229 total hours
Zelda TotK 188, Mario Wonder 23, DK: Tropical Freeze 10

Xbox
15 games
143 hours
98 achievements (1,765 gamerscore)

A Plague Tale: Requiem (17 hours)
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Story 155 hours over 13 weeks; Completionist (188 hours over 16 weeks)
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (28 hours)

Can you please compile the games attended and amount of time spent cheering on the Boys in Blue?

Can you please compile the games attended and amount of time spent cheering on the Boys in Blue?

sure! a total of 86 games attended in person (79 home/regular season, 1 Open Cup, 1 CCL, 5 Playoff); if you average 2 hours a game, that's 172 hours (7 full days/1 week)

edit: or roughly 1 Zelda TotK

 

[joe]

200 hours on TOTK and 20 on Super Mario Brothers Wonder

I tried to get into Baldur's Gate 1 on Switch at the end of the year but it just feels clunky / I didn't get the hang of it.

It’s a great way to explore tons of games, but it’s frustrating when something you’ve downloaded suddenly disappears from the library! At least the cloud saves are a lifesaver—definitely makes it easier to pick up where you left off. I’ve been diving into some fun video game apps lately, too.

Sounds Bot-ty! Tell me, what boroughs do NYCFC play their home matches (excluding New Jersey)?

Lol, LionNYC is cooking

switch 2 announced today. looks to be upgrades and refinements. no details with regards to new "killer" features and no games listed yet, although it seems mario kart 9 is probably top of the list.

personally, i won't be upgrading right away unless there's a killer feature that i just can't live without. otherwise, i'll be waiting for the right game to come along... 4K zelda sounds nice, but i wonder how they will be able to top botw and totk.

Does anyone know if the Breath of the Wild DLC is supposed to transfer to the Switch 2? I'm seeing contradictory things online.

1. I have a physical copy of BOTW.
2. I had the full expansion pass*
3. I was pleasantly surprised that the Switch 2 upgrade is free for Switch Online members, thought I'd have to pay for it.
4. From the title screen, the DLC is not included, it wants me to pay $20
5. Playing the game, there is no indication I have the DLC. I'm extremely early in the game, so the slate hasn't been repaired yet, but there is no tracker.

*I'm certain I had it, I used the map tracker a lot and attempted the master sword trial (never came close to beating it because I'm not a Real Gamer). In trying to figure this out I don't see it listed in my purchase history, but I don't know if it was ever distributed as a gift or reward (like for upgrading NSO or whatever, I'm making that up).

It's free if you have NSO and the dlc packs from switch one. the dlc needs to be tied to your Nintendo account though. To play it all on switch 2 version you just need to download the upgrade pack. You also need to defeat all the divine beasts to enable the dlc champions ballad. But hero's path, master mode and trial of the sword should be available.

I don't have a switch 2 yet but I researched this since I'm a huge Zelda fan and have both botw with dlc and totk ...

Thanks! Master mode is a good suggestion, bad sign that it wasn’t there. I wonder how I could have had it without it being linked

have you tried checking to see if you can re-download your DLC on your switch 2 through the virtual card screen? if it is properly linked to your account, it should be listed (through the breath of the wild icon or separately, i'm not sure) and give you the option to redownload.

Hm it’s not in my virtual cards

Do you see anything in virtual cards for breath of the wild? That's the dlc. Since you have the game as a physical card.

No there’s nothing there, pour one out for my korok mask

i'd look back to see which account you ordered the DLC with and make sure it's the same. if that doesn't resolve things, try contacting customer support. they might have some ideas.
