Casually a hardcore Nintendo fan.
I was initially underwhelmed by the Age of Imprisonment OST. I didn't believe it was as good as Age of Calamity's OST.

However, the AoI main theme might actually be the best Zelda theme I've heard in a while.

Koei Tecmo has announced the release of a content update for Age of Imprisonment.

Welp, time to drop what I'm doing on Metroid Prime Remastered and return to AoI.

I hope it doesn't take too long, because I gotta finish MP1 before Metroid Prime 4 comes out.

Here's something I've been noticing while playing #Metroid Prime Remastered.

I'm not taking screenshots or video captures out of instinct.

I can think of one of two reasons why I'm not:

1. I'm too busy using the Scan Visor

2. I'm constantly backtracking just to find out where to progress

I think it's safe to call it a retro console, even if it's the first HD console.

Personally, where I draw the line is the architecture. Consoles using x86 or ARM64 based architectures are considered modern, consoles that use proprietary architectures or older ARM are considered retro.

LEGO Fortnite Odyssey feels broken in good ways and bad ways after the recent update, which added more moves from Battle Royale. It also sped up the glider.

By using a combination of sliding, rift jumping, and the glider, you can go incredibly fast on foot now.

If you are looking at comments for a YouTube video related to Age of Calamity or Age of Imprisonment, please do not interact with Javier Vasquez.

I had already brought him up before and I'll bring him up again.

He will relentlessly comment against anything related to Age of Calamity.

I don't think I could get used to seeing Nintendo rapid-fire game releases within weeks of each other and not too long after a console launch to prepare for the holidays.

PLZA and AoI aren't even fully Nintendo releases, but Nintendo certainly had to cram them into their release schedule.

Nintendo365 in Nintendo Today! does not showcase Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity as a game released on November 20.

Normally, this isn't a surprise because Koei Tecmo published this game in Japan.

However, Nintendo did add Age of Imprisonment's release date on the app before.

[Switch 2]

Panic Button reveals that they asked by Nintendo to produce Switch 2 updates for New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and ARMS.

This studio is known for their "impossible" Switch 1 ports, such as DOOM (2016).

I've decided to pause my completionist run in Age of Imprisonment to play #Metroid Prime Remastered.

I've held off way too long, partially due to Prime 4's release date being announced quite late.

Since this is my first time playing on Switch 2, I've decided to start a new save file.

The last two Zelda game releases have featured Zelda taking a much more active role in the main story not as the damsel in distress, but as the main protagonist or deutagonist.

I am very glad to see Wes Ball and the producers continuing in this direction.

The Game Awards has become quite the punching bag over the years, and for good reason.

The jury's gameplay bias is absurd. Story-focused genres like visual novels are never nominated for best story, music and rhythm games are never nominated for best music, and there's always a bias for publishers.

Many people celebrated Matt Mercer being cast as Ganondorf after playing Ganondorf in "There Will Be Brawl."

But did you know that ProZD/SungWon Cho, EN voice actor for Calamo in Age of Imprisonment, had previously uploaded a skit that implicitly makes fun of Breath of the Wild's 900 Korok Seeds?

I've attempted to replicate this in Docked mode. Turns out I pushed myself into conditions even more prone to drops in frame rate.

It... was actually playable.

I guess the only explanation is that the Switch 2 dock "de-underclocks" the Switch 2 by a much larger margin than the Switch 1 on Docked.

The moment I returned to Twitter after my social media blackout to play Age of Imprisonment, I was hit with uneasy feelings and general negativity.

I was actually happier not using Twitter, so you know what? To hell with it and its polarized communities!

Bsky, on the other hand, was all positive.

I wasn't able to trigger a game crash, but I was able to get the game to momentarily freeze.

This footage was captured on Nintendo Switch 2 in Handheld mode.

Having completed Age of Imprisonment, I will be returning to Age of Calamity to do some testing on Nintendo Switch 2.

I had previously experienced multiple game crashes, primarily in handheld mode.

To attempt to replicate this, I am going to be playing "The Fiercest of Foes" challenge.

After a little over 50 hours, I have achieved 100% Map Completion in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

That's roughly the same amount of time taken to get 100% in Age of Calamity without DLC.

The two games have very similar approaches to post-game content, but I think AoC did it much better.

I didn't think Nintendo could baby Metroid players a 3rd time. Did they not learn from Other M's pretentious dialogue or Federation Force's unnecessary Samus nerf?

The Metroid Prime 4 overview trailer was just released on the Nintendo Today! app.

The trailer showed most of what we already know. I actually thought it was just a re-upload of an older trailer.

Still, it is good they consolidated everything into one trailer for people to see.

#HyruleWarriors: Age of Imprisonment's ending was one of the most genius things ever.

Yes, we get the "bad ending" that everyone desired. However, the way that the ending was written in Age of Imprisonment interprets the story in quite a different tone than Tears of the Kingdom.

I believe these creators need to be investigated. They've gotten away too long making money off spoiling game content.

The timing of when they complete games after a game launches is physically impossible even on a marathon basis.

This leads me to suspect they acquire games illegally before launch

This is how much I've progressed in #HyruleWarriors: Age of Imprisonment so far.

Many new characters in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment follow a clever naming scheme: they're named for ancient real-world things related to what they are.

For example, the Mysterious Construct's name comes from the ancient practice of never revealing a character's true name until release. 😔

One thing I've finally been able to do was complete the PAL Hidden Mansion in Luigi's Mansion, and I've accomplished it with Rank A, the highest score on the GameCube version.

Even though I've played 3DS Hidden Mansion before, PAL Hidden Mansion was still a challenge.
