Okay but real talk, what's the best Switch game? Is it possible it's not BOTW?

Story time: My grandpa gifted me a GBA and Pokemon Crystal when I was 6. It was the first system and game that were wholly mine, and I still wonder if he just lucked out in getting a backwards compatible pair. I played it loads until I started borrowing my sister's SP, which still supported GBC.

Honestly, kudos to Nintendo for the S2 update to play S1 games in handheld as docked mode. With all of the recent "pay twice for hardware" practices and re-pricing S2 versions of 8 year old games, this is a nice free blanket improvement to all old titles. Let's hope they do more like this.

If you haven't tried WarioWare Inc Mega Party Microgame$ on the GameCube, you're missing out on one of the best party games out there. It's like a skillful version of Mario Party with tons a variety in both microgames and modes, many of which have a unique blend of so and mp play. GOATed title.

A massive video that's been in production literally since 2022 is going to grace my channel soon. It'll be a bit of a period piece with how much gaming discourse has evolved in the last 4 years, but I can't wait to share this (more than) feature length project.

Part of my Metroid Prime 4 cope is playing other games that scratch a slightly similar itch. I finally started Dead Space and that's been a good time so far. It's always a hurdle for me to move past tank controls, but I'm sticking with it for the atmosphere and new abilities. Also the physical UX 🔥

I've only played Arc Raiders for about an hour, but I didn't even know they had AI voice lines until the announcement that they're getting removed. That's good but dang, I feel retroactively duped. Also, I can't get into the game. Too much crafting and inventory building for my caveman brain.

I'm not crazy into ez-cozy games, but I respect the he*k out of their right to exist. The $60 price tag for the upcoming Yoshi title is comforting, I just hope it doesn't mean it'll be lacking in the variety front. Might not purchase but I'll definitely rent it for a spell!

I finished the first season of The Mighty Nein (the show) and I'm extremely impressed! I think this campaign lends itself to a tv adaptation better than the last, because the pacing of character growth is 👌👌👌 Chef's kiss. Can't wait for the next season!

I've been slowing getting into the Castlevania series now that I'm 0.5% more competent than my childhood self. Right now I'm playing through Super Castlevania IV for the SNES and Dawn of Sorrow for the DS. DOS appeases my Metroid love more, but the punishing nature of Super is growing on me quick.

Is there a world where we get both traditional and BOTW 3D Zelda games? With how long it takes to make games now, I don't imagine they can justify two 3D lines. Maybe they'll continue top down in its place but I'm really going to miss the 3D Zelda I grew up with.

I played some GoldenEye 007 again, and while we can endlessly sing the praises of how it pioneered the most popular split screen genre, I also praise it for somehow making the gameplay fun when it has the awful N64 controller. Like the jank should make it miserable, yet I enjoy fighting the jank sm.

Did you know that in Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, the Lamorn's foundational technological advancement, is the motorcycle? Everything else came from the great Harley Davidson breakthrough! Now they have master teleporters and volcano cannons! Just one of many things I discuss:

I've only played one round of LEGO Party (with CPUs only) and I'm already a big fan! It feels like it has a splash of cutthroat the older Mario Party's have. All I want in life is the boo space and boy does this game have it. Would recommend!

Nintendo of America suing the U.S. government for unlawful tariffs
Just one day after The Pokémon Company had to issue a statement about the White House using their intellectual property without permission, Nintendo is now taking things a step further by suing the U.S. government. The reason for the newly filed lawsuit is not IP theft however, but rather citing an unlawful imposition of tariffs. Due to the company's use of overseas manufacturing and the release timing of Switch 2, Nintendo was severely impacted by the tariffs put in place with executive orders issued by the Trump Administration, and are suing to get the tariffs that have been collected "refunded with interest."

Just remembered something I always forget: Smash Ultimate really made us unlock every character other than the og 12. It was annoying, but honestly kinda baller to grind for the largest roster in the series. But the excitement fizzles when we know all the characters anyways. 50/50 on that choice.

There are a small handful of SNES games that I've essentially been playing since birth, and yet I haven't beaten most of them. I can't shake this feeling that seeing them through to the end might squander the childhood wonder I feel for them. Anyways, I recently restarted Zelda ALTTP again. Banger.

Arms might be my most underrated Nintendo Switch game. Maybe I'm trying to reclaim my childhood, but I really enjoy the chaotic motion control fun that seems ever so scarce now. I also love its identity and it'd be a huge missed opportunity to let that world collect dust forevermore.

I finally got to the part in Paper Mario where the game gets fun. It's a slow cook but once you hit the first dungeon you're eating reeeeeal good.

Lately I've been trying to get a few sets in on Rivals of Aether 2 everyday and it's really paying off... by leaving me at a high bronze rank. I love the game feel and it's the first platform fighter I feel like I could competitively ditch Smash over, even though I'll always be a casual fan.

I've been saying all streaming services should do this for years. One of the only cool things left about traditional TV is the no-thought "let's see what's on together." Sometimes that's the mood. Also, shuffle mode on shows is such low hanging fruit. Sometimes I want the hits without the binge.

I understand and agree with the privacy concerns over Discord's planned verification system, but not every outlet is actually showing what will be restricted without verifying. This list seems like reasonable restrictions to me given the past safety issues with minors on the platform.

After three attempts, I've finally gotten to the third season of The Legend of Korra. What a crazy course-correct! I'm still perplexed by some of the decisions, but I thoroughly enjoyed the season. Here's hoping the final keeps it up!

I've been renting Hades II and it is fun, but I don't think it's for me. I think the grind for progression and large number of systems is too much for my caveman brain. I never processed it but I also think that's why I put down the original. Good stuff, not quite my tempo.

I realized I never clarified this but the giveaway has ended and the winner has been sent their remote! Thanks to all who entered and enjoyed watching Bracket Breakdown! There'll be some re-formatting but the series should return in 2026 for the best N64 games. Stay tuned!

I got to the end area of Metroid Prime 4, forgetting I only had 3 full energy tanks. There are no save stations but boy does it auto save. So I have to beat the final boss with very little energy or load my save station which is just about 3 hours behind in progress... I guess souls mode it is.

"Ice Belt" "Fury Green" "Flare Pool" "Green Energy" vs "Phendrana Drifts" "Chozo Ruins" "Magmoor Caverns" "Phason" Bro why are Metroid Prime 4's names so goofy. I actually laugh every time an area is introduced and I see big text that reads something like "V O L T F O R G E".
