Day 5 - Game that makes you throw controllers
I have never thrown a controller in my life, that stuff's too expensive 😂
So instead I'll go with a go with a game that has just made me mad and sad because I'm bad, LoL. There are only so many times I wanna be told to off myself by teammates 😂

I didn't get around to playing on its final launch day like I hoped but just finished the last couple of Dispatch episodes tonight.
It was awesome, just awesome. I think I was a little down on it compared to most people by the halfway point, but it finished so strong. Hope we see a 2nd season!

Day 4 - Game from the year you were born
Super Mario 64
The GOAT. Don't think much needs to be said about this one, a true classic. I've beaten it a fair few times and watched even more speedruns.

Day 3 - Game you think everyone should play
Yakuza won't be for everyone, but I think there are a lot of people who don't know that it IS perfect for them.
0 especially has a phenomenal story, hilarious side missions, addictive minigames, great music, fun combat... it's a monstrously good package.

This is why I ❤️ Arc Raiders interactions.
Trusted these 2 by reviving 1 with defib. Nobody had any left and we all got sad that we couldn't save his friend.
Then we realised he could just revive her because they're in a party.
(Recording doesn't pick up my mic but I was laughing as hard as him) 😂

Day 2 - Game with a memorable soundtrack:
Persona 5 Royal ❤️
One of my favourite games of all time, and a large part of that is influenced by its music which I still listen to almost every day - it's like the soundtrack to my life at this point.

I'm gonna join in this time around because:
1. Videogames good
2. Seeing these challenges always makes my backlog even bigger so hopefully I'll curse some of you too 😆
Anyways Day 1: Pokemon Red
Didn't think I'd still be playing the franchise almost 30 years later, but here we are.

Making a start in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment tonight.
I'm not generally a Musou game enjoyer but I loved Persona 5 Strikers, and Tears of the Kingdom was one of my favourite ever gaming experiences so I'm looking forward to seeing another story in this world.

Just got caught up on Dispatch and episodes 5 and 6 have done a lot for me, I think these two are the best by far at the moment.
Really excited to see the final couple, I might hit them straight away on Wednesday instead of waiting until Sunday like I have been.

Kirby Air Riders Test Ride Early Thoughts:
After about two hours with the demo, here are my early and way too many thoughts. Going to make a lot of comparisons from the new Kirby Air Riders (Riders) to Kirby Air Ride (KAR).
City Trial:
-Feels much more like a battle mode than it did in KAR.

Just tried the demo for Kirby Air Riders and wow that's one of the most chaotic things I've ever experienced, could barely control my character half the time 😅
Probably not one I'll pick up but can totally see why people are excited for it. I'd grab it on sale but lol @ Nintendo games on sale

I also downloaded the new Nintendo Store app and I'm a little surprised by some of the results, could have swore I've spent more/less time in loads of these.
