From The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario, to Xenoblade Chronicles and Kirby, including also Fire Emblem and Pokemon...

I tried to include them all into this celebration of the greatest console generation we ever had!

The Ultimate Nintendo Switch Tribute!

There seemingly existed a way more detailed version running on Switch 2... but they just scrapped all of it and reduced it to the Switch 1 looking version? And didn't even bother to implement the existing details into the Switch 2 version?

That's just insanity dude.

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 23h

Just learned that Pokemon Legends ZA's world/buildings look like that because of performance issues on the Switch 1?

How, you ask? Because it seems that the whole world is loaded at all times. CONSTANTLY.
There is no LOD system at work. I'm not even a dev, and yet I wonder... how?

Game Freak man.

The game surely isn't becoming easier...

But that doesn't matter too much now, does it? It's a lot of fun man.
Let's continue Hollow Knight SIlksong tomorrow :D

*Trying to copy Fortnite
That's probably more fitting lol
Especially a company like Sony that tries to do that for multiple years now, willing to spend hundreds of million of dollars for a live service game like Fortnite...

What's your hottest take regarding video games?

Specific games, the industry, anything really.

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 7d

Oh boy.

Reviews should obviously be taken with a huge grain of salt, but I can't say I'm hyped about Little Nightmares 3 after Tarsier Studios left the IP to create their own IP called Reanimal.

I absolutely adored LN 1 and 2, but I'll probably pass on 3. I'd rather wait on Reanimal releasing.

The Amazon Prime days have started, meaning lots of first party Nintendo games are currently at their lowest price ever.

I might consider getting Paper Mario and the Mario RPG at these prices.

Zelda EoW and Xenoblade X DE are also well worth that price.

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 9d

Just heard from the recent DF Direct that Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2 has an uncapped framerate in handheld mode? And sometimes reaching 60fps because of it?

Meaning through VRR it'll play in more than 30fps? That would be kinda nutty.

I wonder how things will look in docked mode then.

Twitch just told me that you can get bragging rights if you clip a moment from the streams and share it online with people.

You can get a special badge that'll stick to your profile, which becomes more and more special, should it get a certain amount of views.

Just wanted to share that :D

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 16d

We'll continue Hollow Knight Silksong, while also going for the true 100% in Donkey Kong Bananza this Thursday :D

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 16d

Happy Birthday :D
Hope you're having a great day!

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 17d

Randomly remembered this movie now too.

Why was it that "movies for kids" were unironically way scarier back then? This was incredible stuff frfr

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 17d

Who remembers this movie?

Just got a video recommended on Youtube about it.
That sure was a "movie for kids"... scared me to no end back then. Heck, still gives me the creeps nowadays.

Definitely one of the reasons I love the horror genre so much nowadays :D

We'll finally get to the third GotY candidate this year :D

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 23d

People calling everything "Ai generated" nowadays, including also my own videos lol

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 25d

On another note, the Super Mario Galaxy Bundle is on first place lol

Watch it selling more than Metroid Prime 4 and Remastered combined. Some things will never make sense to me.

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 25d

60€ Amiibos.

60. Whole. Euros.

Considering that next week shows 14°C at best already in combination with rain, because of course.
And things just becoming colder from this point on.

I'd like to spend todays time with the family outside (:

Hope you understand, and thank you for sticking by!
Wish you all a great day! <3 (2/2)

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · 25d

I planned to start Hollow Knight Silksong today, but to be quite honest with you... I think I'll postpone the start to next week.

We have some fantastic weather today at 30°C with lots of Sunshine throughout the day and it'll probably the last time we'll have such great weather this year. (1/2)

What todays Donkey Kong Bananza stream felt like:

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · Sep 15

After some thinking, especially after the most recent Nintendo Direct and how often we saw PAID DLC for not a lot of content, I decided to spend the 20€ that were intended for the Kirby DLC... into a significantly better investment, which is HOLLOW KNIGHT SILKSONG REEEEE

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · Sep 12

Btw, I think that's the first time a FIRE EMBLEM has closed a Nintendo Direct, right? I don't think this has ever happened before. This is really cool to see :D

SparksOpus @sparksopus.bsky.social · Sep 12

Perfectly balanced...

As I would expect from a Nintendo Direct lol
