My most played game on trackable consoles is the Smash entry that the world has just about forgotten. Smash Ultimate may have eclipsed it but the jump to Smash 4 was massive and it's still a very solid game. This play time is between three brothers but it's still a crazy number.

There are plenty of examples of Nintendo's strict vision hurting the developers' final product, but Metroid Prime is one of the successful outcomes. I think the tug of war between Retro Studios and Nintendo brought something beautifully unique without abiding by genres.

I was at Target and I noticed the third party Switch 1 controllers are now more expensive than the third party Switch 2 controllers. I don't know why this is but thought it was mildly interesting. Continue with your day please, this conversation is over.

Metroid Other M
Not the worst game by far, but I was in "Metroid=good" denial and made it to the end. I don't beat most of the games I play

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?
(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Is it weird that I'm excited to try Sonic Racing Cross Worlds? After thoroughly enjoying All Star Racing on the Wii U and being thoroughly whelmed with Mario Kart World, I'm just ready for another nontendo karting take.

This is disappointing to hear. Performance was the main thing (not the only) holding back the original game for me but this combined with the demo not ironing out camera movement makes me hesitant to jump back in. I want to like it so bad too.

Developer Playtonic says that a Performance Mode for Yooka-Replayee on the Nintendo Switch 2 could eventually come a later date.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a ton of fun! I don't get the sentiment that it eclipses Super Mario Odyssey. They both have their own strengths they excel at regardless of a similar formula. If you're going to compare them you might as well make it a show called Bracket Breakdown where apples fight pears.
