    After playing loads of Mario 64 the past while I think I need to sell the Xbox and buy one of these just for the Mario game.

    Sucks that Mario Party needs joycons. I don’t fancy buying a second set to me, Baz and The Reid can play

    What? You can't use a normal controller?

    That sucks.

    I don’t think so, I asked over at RLLMUK and they said the games seem to all need a joy con. Of course everyone has two but they’re damn expensive to get more.

    Mario Odyssey is finished. It's a Ubisoft checklist. I've never seen Nintendo repeat so much in a game.

    Was it not massively highly rated or did I miss something? It would be my only reason for buying the console.

    Very highly rated. I felt good with it until I realised I could just do the most basic shit to get through kingdoms. That game is almost all filler.

    Because the game isn't about 'getting through the kingdoms'

    Smash Bros and I also really liked Mario Rabbids.

    Also, if anyone wants to buy one I am selling. Got one unboxed with my phone contract the other week and I have yet to stick it up on Ebay.

    I bought Octopath Traveller in the Nintendo sale and I’m enjoying it so far. The battling is starting to feel a bit repetitive but hopefully they’ll mix it up a bit when I get further in.

    Every Mario up to that point was that, though. They demanded more of me instead of going, "Hey, there's a thing over there. Can't get to it? Well, there's one behind your ear! Awww." It felt like an Ubisoft checklist.

    New Super Mario U Deluxe has made me question my own mortality in a way no game has ever managed and led me to realise my youth hasn’t lasted forever. I’m old and rubbish at Mario. Like awful, my evening has been my swearing and shouting ‘noooo’ at the TV and the cat.

    I had the same feeling with ChaseHQ and IK+. You spend so much time with those games as kids and then it all fades away.

    I've always found Mario ridiculously hard. Probably because I grew up playing more Sonic where there aren't any INSTANT DEATH holes.

    I bought it today and decided to try and play the game with my 10 year old cousins. One was passable (although he was using Nabbit) with the other being tragic, he kept running off and seemingly not even looking at where enemies were and then would blame us for him dying. We were stuck on some level for a good few tries and he seemed to die in the exact same spot about 8 times (he would rush at a block with a fire flower taking no notice of a goomba who would kill him), it was painful.

    I was never that great but I'm a hell of a lot worse than I was.

    I'm undecided between which of Super Smash Bros and Super Mario Odyssey to get next. Both games have oodles of stuff to collect, which I love. Some advice please.

    Mario. It’s incredible. Smash Brothers is shite from what I hear from the crowd I used to play it with.

    Surely you've played earlier versions of both. Which one did you enjoy more? I would choose Odyssey, no doubt, but I don't care much for Smash Bros.

    Odyssey. It’s genuinely fantastic. One of the best, not only Mario games, but any game ever made.

    So last year I modded my switch, installed custom firmware and have been enjoying all kinds of dodgy stuff in my pirate hat. Sadly it meant no online play, cos you get banned.

    Thankfully those smart pirate folks have no found a way to have the switch appear as a stock one if you want to go online or run backup by emulating on the switch, the switch, so you can play ‘back ups’
    Obvs it might get found out in the future, but it’s still smart for now.

    I’ve got a copy of Mario Maker 2 on the way, something I’ve wanted for yonks. Anyone playing it?

    I think I'm going to get a Lite, all the detachable and dockable stuff with the proper Switch doesn't appeal and I loved both the DS and 3DS so this seems perfect for me.

    Cool, what’s your friend code?

    My aim this weekend is to try play Zelda as I’ve never gotten into one.

    Been playing Fire Emblem lately and enjoying it a lot. I also am starting to build a bit of a backlog and it is only going to get worse. The new (well, old) Zelda is next, followed by Dragon Quest. Then that Luigi one is coming soon, as is Pokemon. Oh, and the Mario Olympics one . All of that is ignoring stuff that I never finished, like Octopath Traveler, Mario and the Rabbids, Mortal Kombat (played for like ten minutes and hated it), Smash Bros, Mario Tennis... Probably shouldn't think too much about it.

    Don't know when I last turned my Xbox on so switch is comfortably my main console now. Only actually completed Pokémon and Mario Rabbids, mind. Most of the way through Zelda so should probably finish that before having another go at fire emblem (lost most of my team in one of the first fights lol).

    Backlog of Odyssey, Transition and Luigi's mansion.

    Ring Fit Adventure is also decent but not given it all that much time.

    I've had to admit defeat and give up on Breath of the Wild. It's too sprawling and overwhelming, I had this with Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. Something about 3D Zelda games has me beat so I've traded it for Link's Awakening which I already love.

    I have Link's Awakening, but I have yet to play it. I didn't enjoy Ocarina of Time nearly as much as everyone else did, but I loved Breath of the Wild.

    Losing my interest on the Switch overall, though. The only games that I think have been genuinely good are Mario Odyssey, Zelda, and Fire Emblem. Nothing appealing on the horizon either.

    I've taken a break from BOTW. Will get back into it when I've got some time off in a couple of weeks - definitely felt the same with it.

    Animal Crossing this Friday is the best big release. Any fans? I’ve never gotten into one.

    It’s ‘out’ if your switch does stuff it shouldn’t....

    I bought an Animal Crossing once and it became one of about 3 games that I've traded in. Couldn't stand it.

    Luckily I've got Fire Emblem still untouched if we get locked down.

    You know what, it's really good. It's not something I'd normally get into, cos there is no story of such, but with the world how it is, it's been nice to play for short bursts over the day. I've two friends at work who are playing it, so I've people who I can visit in game that I know, sell my stuff in their shop and stuff. Being on RLLMUK too, their thread is huge on it,with lots of people opening their islands up for people to visit.

    There is a lot of pottering about, and busy work, like I'm currently making furniture for empty houses so that animals move in, meaning more folk living on my island, so yeah, deffo enjoying it.

    This shit Easter thing can bugger off though.
