One thing that I hope is a big focus for #NintendoSwitch2 is a vastly improved online experience. I want it to be easier to connect with friends online, system-wide party chat, a stronger network infrastructure, and a fun social app to connect with others who play similar games to make new friends ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

A bit underwhelming of a reveal, but that could be thanks to all of the recent leaks that were pretty accurate. Regardless, looking forward to learning more about the next generation of Switch and seeing the games!!

Thor is so much fun to play. ๐Ÿ”จโšก๏ธ

Agreed. Which is probably why Persona 5 was so beloved too. Final Fantasy has such a cool world / magic lore that this could actually fit well in a school setting.
December 30, 2024 at 3:06 AM
That would be cool. Iโ€™d definitely play that!

Merry Christmas! Got an awesome new ornament for our tree as a gift! #SonicTheHedgehog was the first game I ever played ๐Ÿคฉ

Spent some time trying out different characters today. Thor is starting to click with me. ๐Ÿ”จโšก๏ธ

๐ŸŽฎGaming question of the day๐Ÿ‘พ

Do you think you will ever voluntarily stop gaming, or will you keep this hobby for the rest of your life?
December 22, 2024 at 6:19 AM
Hereโ€™s my #Nintendo2024YearInReview!

I definitely played my Switch a bit less this year, but still had a great time with games like Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Super Mario Party: Jamboree. With the imminent announcement of the Switch 2, Iโ€™m eager for 2025 to be the year of Nintendo!

This clip needs to be shared everywhere in the games industry! Game devs, publishers, and most importantly EXECUTIVES need to hear and understand this! THIS is how we push the industry forward. Create the game that YOU want to play - not the game that will make you the most money ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜ค

Woohoo congrats on Astro Bot winning Game of the Year at #TheGameAwards! ๐Ÿฅณ
With #TheGameAwards happening tonight, I figured Iโ€™d add my take for Game of the Year: AstroBot! I absolutely loved every minute of it. There was so much fun and creativity added to every level. You can feel Nintendoโ€™s decades of influence all throughout. Games like these are why I LOVE gaming!
December 13, 2024 at 4:08 AM
Yes I was thinking the same!
December 13, 2024 at 1:21 AM
I would be very surprised given Metaphor JUST came out but hey it could happen! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ˜„

Runner-up: Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Now this was a surprise for me. I did NOT expect to enjoy this game as much as I did. Bringing the creativity of the last two 3D Zelda games into a 2.5D experience was done ingeniously. Exploring dungeons and the open world any way you want was so fun!

Overwatch 2 officially dethroned Apex Legends this year for me. Curious to see if Marvel Rivals will dethrone OW2 in 2025 ๐Ÿ‘€
