Speaking of DK barrels have you edited that in any way lately? Both me and @Glen-i died by falling off the right hand side middle level. It seemed that there was some other wind forcing us down when we got passed the edge.

Introducing “Suddenly Bench!” The newest addition to Mario Kart Get Together, every Thursday Night, 8pm only on Switch 2. another cheque incoming Glen?

I worry Banjo-Tooie will be the roadblock. I too loved A Short Hike. Such a lovely game.

I remember the first Oxenfree, I remember enjoying the premise and the slight spookiness. I can't remember too much about the story but I feel that this is similar, but different. I still can't tell if they are related in a case of being part of the same story though. Anyway. these games, if you want to use game, I think an interactive story is more in line with how these games play. The premise of this one is that you wake up in a small seaside dock area and are not sure what happened. Well that's how I saw it. You start to take control and can move around but it shows pretty quickly that something is not right as you start getting weird time jumps, and you're back where you were. each time this happens you get a little bit further in and you start to get pieces of what's happening. You then get to a point where these stop and you can go on about the main story a little easier. These jumps are a reoccurring part of the game along with another jumping/being dragged through this portal and seeing spooky beings. So most of the game takes place in a small island where you see a portal appear in the sky over a far off island. You'll be able to move around and one of the first things you get is a walkie talkie and this is your main means to talk to others. You do eventually meet a few others in the game and interactions are done in a certain way. So, most of the time when you are in a conversation, you will have three options for a reply (occasionally 2) it may not seem like this do much in terms of how the story goes, it feels like each one will get you to the same outcome and move the game alone the same way. But it seems the they do actually have a bearing on the very final moments of the game. There is even a moment at the very end where it does seem that you can pick how it will end. During the final scene of the game as you are looking at the box of items, on looking at a few of them, the game will bring up a pie chart and tell you the percentage of players that did a certain thing or made certain things happen. So without spoilers, something like "you and 25% of others players befriended so and so". Others show that there certainly is something in the answers that you can give, will change these % and effect the outcome. So it's a nice touch and incentive to go do things again (well if you can remember what you chose in the first play through so that you don't do them again). The game has some really nice visuals at certain points and it really is nice to stop and admire them. And in its simple design, it fits the narrative very well. There are a few puzzles to solve, none too taxing, and there really does only seem to be one route through the game so you can't really get lost. There seemed to be a few side quests to be done and the game does have point of no return moment. I don't think I scratched the surface of any side missions so another reason to go back again. It doesn't fee like along game and you could probably do this in a few sittings, but to really get the story I do think you need to explore thoroughly and talk to everyone and look at everything. It's an enjoyable game if you like this thing. I think I preferred the first as I was getting a bit of "hurry up and do something" vibes when the game was crawling at points. 7/10 Updated pledge list. I think I'm going to go with P.N. 03 next off my list. Will be trying to get through a few of these before Switch 2 comes out.

Good to know. Mines always plugged into my Switch as it's the only way to play Smash Bros each and every Saturday.

Monkey fight was great. If this game comes to the GC NSO we may have a new Friday night game.

I think the previous best was like 3. But yeah 5 times in a row, the same two people getting the same character. With the number of characters there are, you’d think it just couldn’t happen like that. I also notice that each week we seem to get a selection of stages and then the next week seems to be a different set (for the majority of the night). Even with all stages in the random mix.

Great to see this started. I'll be interested to see your views @Cube on the few games I've recently been playing for my 2025 Pledge games in the diary thread. And maybe I can pick up some ideas in games I may have not played on the GC to give a go.

Thanks for the write ups @Cube. I'd love to get the chance to play more of these but have next to know knowledge of how to go about doing that with a 3DS (plus getting a spare). But maybe one day I'll be able to play them.

First MKT theme night confirmed. Glen has to use his Mii (are they confirmed in?) and everyone else is Cow so we can all gang up on him. alternative, Glen is Cow and everyone else is Mii and we see how he likes cow abuse.

They gotta save something for Booster Course pack 1.

Fixed that for you.

Yay. @Glen-i will have to pick cows!

I'd love to get this but I just can't get into the Hyrule Warriors games. And this seems like it'll be a good one to tie the story up.
