Hopefully it just takes a little while to get going!

It would be great if they could bring this, and other DD games, to NSO!

Always blooming Kirby! You're not Wave Race 🥲

I'm not sure how many games I played this year that were released in 2024 but Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown basically wins by default! Thankfully, it's pretty good 😃 I never felt completely comfortable with the multitude of controls to remember and moves to execute during the heat of battle in the boss fights but I always got there in the end. I definitely grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory on more than one occasion, though. It was always frustrating that each enemy would choose the exact move I had most trouble with just as I was close to dealing the killer blow!

It's the one we really need 🔥

It's not like SEGA to want to roll out the Mega Drive hits at every possible opportunity..

I enjoyed TG Rally 2 back at the time but the feeling of 'deja-vu' was definitely noticeable then, too 😅 It was cool to have a random track generator available in the game but it did mean the overall track design suffered. As for damage, I'm not entirely sure the blame is on you! I also struggled to make it through races without stuff happening, especially later on, and it certainly didn't always feel like my fault! Driving over railway tracks at speed? You deserve to puncture your tire! Taking a superb corner and having the tire blow anyway? Hmm.. not so sure on that one! I haven't played it for years but I'd guess it feels dodgy enough in 2024.. I always preferred the first game but if they could both somehow come to Nintendo Switch Online that would be great 😁

Just finished E-2 there (which I think is part of the final mansion) and I'm feeling like I'm kinda ready for the game to end by this point. What's there still looks and feels good but it's rarely ever that fun. Even though the mission I just cleared was over in around half an hour, it felt longer and more than I wanted it to be, which is rarely a good sign 😅 It was definitely one of those stages where I would have been sickened if I ended up having to repeat the entire thing upon losing all my health but it never seemed likely, thankfully!

That's where I'm at! I'm obviously really excited to see what Nintendo have in store for us and as much as I'd really have all of that information thrust upon us right now I'm feeling relaxed by knowing I'm never, ever going to be stuck form something to play ever again 😅 When I think about the Switch successor, I then also remember a random game I already own that I haven't even started yet.. and then another.. and another..

I've played up to the end of B-2 so far and the experience has been largely as expected so far! I'm probably gonna just chip away at a chapter here and there over the next few weeks as the slow pace doesn't lend itself well to prolonged sessions. It feels good to play and I've been trying to be thorough with it but I'm still missing gems from the first mansion. The structure of the game still works against itself in this regard, unfortunately. I've probably reached a stage now where I think I know I'm not going to be uncovering all of the gems so that is likely to lead to a slightly more direct approach going forward!

Even crazier than making Undead Nightmare look like a difficulty setting rather than an entire game mode in the menu of the game!
