Been enjoying the new Inazuma Eleven but after so many delays and all sorts I wish the game was more polished than it is, at least in the story mode on Switch 2
So many things could tightened up in terms of QoL and feels buggy in some spots (Joy Con kept bugging into mouse mode somehow)

Predictable list for this year’s Game of the Year, looking like a sweep for Expedition 33.
Happy that two indies are up for GOTY, especially since it always feels like they only choose one
Technically three by their counting, but does Expedition 33 count as indie?

I’m making the new story the priority in the new Inazuma Eleven, and whilst I’m enjoying the plot, it is painting such a bad impression!
At least 5/6 hours in and a formal football match hasn’t even begun.

Like, why are they bloodshot 😭😭
Just looks uncanny. Even if dots for eyes aren’t realistic, it would’ve been a lot cuter and better to look at. They’ve done a good job at character designs with the two films but I wonder if I’ll be able to ignore it for the entire film

Quite chuffed with first impressions of the Mario Galaxy movie trailer. Brie Larson seems to fit Rosalina really well, and I liked the voice for Bowser Jr. (even if it wasn’t what I was expecting)
Why the fuck are Bowser Jr’s eyes like that though

Ehh, not too fussed by anything shown
Ending on a Japan-only version of the console is a choice though

Cautiously optimistic about the State of Play today. The shows are often mid but Japan-centric stuff can hit pretty hard
Unsurprising given my tastes but it is what it is haha

Game-Key Cards are the biggest downside of Switch 2 so far so it’s disappointing to see a first-party title follow suit as well :/
Serebii Update: First look at the box art for Pokémon Pokopia for Nintendo Switch 2.
It will be released as a Game Key Card and require 10GB of space to install

It’s so annoying that The Game Awards is one of the biggest event of the year for the industry (probably *the* biggest?) because there is so much clownery going on
I’d genuinely question you as a person if you paid a grand for a seat

I asked about Game Awards press tickets in October. Got an email yesterday encouraging me to buy my own, as there were no spares.

Pleasantly surprised by the Celebrity’s Traitors. Was worried that it would feel too fake but I think the campy nature of the show kinda gelled well with the celebs, especially Alan

The Legends Z-A DLC launching just under 2 months from original release is just making me wonder how long has it been done for, because that window feels rather short
Similar thing happened with Fire Emblem Engage when that DLC was all released so soon after launch

Honestly pretty cool to finally have play data history like this, a lot more in depth than what we have had for the past 8 years!
Also having Wii U and 3DS data is a neat touch
