Silksong was good. Hades II has been great. But man, BALL X PIT has a grip on me and simply refuses to let go. Arkanoid, meets Vampire Survivors in a short but fantastic loop of game design and style. Also balls. My review of @ballxpit.com for @nintendonwr.bsky.social 👇

Just played the first two scenarios on Android. It runs so smoothly. Can't wait for this to be my new time waster. Congrats on the release!

I checked out @blippo.plus for Nintendo Switch. This FMV-game had me tuning in to watch some of the most captivating 'television' I've seen in quite some time.
An ode to the art of performance and I loved it a lot.

The one thing I crave from any future Pokémon game. Not seeing that yellow rat or lizard on fire in the base game.

I always am happy to have an excuse to shine a light on the phenomenal fifth generation of Pokémon. And gen 3 ain't so bad either!

What if I told you that every Pokémon generation is pretty neat? Even the ones that didn't come out when you were ten. Join us as we dig into every single generation and highlight what we love about each and every one.

Yeah, you can rent these for an hour at a local hardware store, that should help a lot as well.

Het nieuwe deel van ons museum bij Beeld & Geluid, "Verwonderen". Is geopend. Een blik van de jaren 40 tot 2000 over de ontwikkelingen van media en techniek. Veel nostalgie en in het jaren '90 deel staan games ook mooi tentoongesteld. Aanrader voor de herfstvakantie!
Een muur met ingerichte objecten zoals een Sony CRT televisie, een MSX thuiscomputer, een Philips Videopac en een Sony PlayStation 1 met enkele games als Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Final Fantasy VII en A2 Racer Goes USA. Een televisie uit de jaren 90 met fragmenten van Zaai! Een demostation van de PlayStation 1 met daarop de racing game S.C.A.R.S.

I'd say it's pretty accurate to both my attic and my experience playing Junkbot in the arcades.

That's wild, yeah the setting in display only mentions output.

Can't that be disabled through the general system settings or do you mean on a game-by-game basis?

I'm sorry but who the fuck calls someone that for enjoying cooking? Like, do they *not* eat?

The pizzas look exceptional!

Without a doubt, my most anticipacted game for this year. They definitely did a blood pact with the devil to make this amazing trailer.

8-12 workdays for shipping is a bit unfortunate however...

This is a very good sign. It's unavailable to ship outside of Germany, but shipping prices are fair enough within Germany. Also I'm surprised by the offerings, including the Pokéween collection, Clothes and plushies!

The full video is on the Nintendo Today app. I think it'll be uploaded soon. But VGC did this short write-up.
