Speaking of E3 - I can't really see which game will be the focus this year. I think that neither Pokémon, Animal Crossing, or Luigi's Mansion 3 are big enough titles for this kind of focus...

NintendoEverything: Interesting wording - at E3, does that mean that they have planned to show it before then?

I see that @ArtMediocre has both Senran Kagura and Dead Or Alive. Perv.

Didn't they adjust their goal? Something like 17 million instead, I think.

Endgame was amazing!

Yes but they were not surprised and have not taken any measures to counteract it it seems. And yeah, it's clear that they have run out of source material and thus, the writing is a bit less impactful this time around. If only mr. Martin would stop doing everything else and finish the work he started.. but I suspect we'll never get the true ending to the books.

Cuphead is easier...?

I think so, yes. Cuphead is about learning the pattern and is a very condense game at that. It doesn't have the inbetween structure of Hollow Knight where things are quiet but it's not as long either. The bosses of Hollow Knight were very hard (IMO) with a lot more strategy to them, you had to figure out which attacks to use when and such and also learn their patterns and how to avoid them, whereas Cuphead is straightforward shooting and learning the patterns. Once you have the patterns down, it's "just" about remembering them - trial and error in the best way possible. So yes, I find Hollow Knight harder because of the depth of the combat. Not much, but still. There were also single bosses that I spent an hour on in that game.

I'm expecting

Hollow Knight is harder.

Wow. It's today! Can't wait! 5.20 pm CEST. Reviewers are going crazy about it, saying it's so good. My wife can't understand why it's so important to me to see this today but it is. It's like telling a soccer fan that he can just watch the game another day. That doesn't work as well.

New trailer gives a look at the world and more Pokémon:

Out now! Bought it yesterday as a friend came over and we spent about 2.5 hours on it, clearing island 1. We had a mighty good time, died a lot but laughed at it as the deaths were completely our own faults. The presentation is just superb, it's amazing. The game itself is good fun even though it's rather hard. Some of the boss fights were not so difficult but then we found two in particular that we spent ages trying to beat. Again and again and again. I don't know if I'll continue the game in single player or just wait for him to come over again some time. The game is a bit harder in coop, I saw someone mention as bullets do less damage, meaning that you are fucked if one dies. Some places also had disappearing platforms which made the platforming hard for two people. Can recommend, though.

I'll join the Most Played group as well:

But how can one spend 35 hours on Child of Light?? It's a 5 hours game, isn't it? Never finished it as I found it very boring outside of battles.

The game needs some censoring now.

It's also on the European eShop now:

Possible leak of a Switch mini? Probably fake but a good, possible solution.

Ah, I don't remember that. Too long ago!

I enjoyed the episode even though not much happened. It had a nice foreshadowing feel to it and you all know that it had to be this way with people gathering and moving around.

Traier:

It's weak in the books as well.

My wife saw some of her friends having a water rowing machine (like the one in House of Cards) in their house and now thinks it's something we may be able to get as well. I'm not saying no but I'd prefer a Concept2 as that's what I'm used to. The water rowers are supposed to be quite different to those. And they are even more expensive.

Yeah, it makes no sense except for marketing - having your game on a shelf makes it more explicit and makes it easier for people to impulsively buy it.

My wife just blew me away. She agreed with her sister that we'll watch the season premiere together Tuesday night - without talking to me about it. That's cruel. Plain and simply, up there with Ramsay cruel. Guess I'll just have to watch it twice.
