Managed to get my Switch 2 pre order from Argos! That Direct was brilliant. One of the best directs I’ve ever seen. On par with the original Switch Direct! Really can’t wait to see how the Switch 2 Edition perform. GameCube NSO is a huge plus for me! It’s a good time to be a Nintendo Fan

Happy 39th Birthday to The Legend of Zelda series! My first Zelda game was Link’s Awakening on the Gameboy and then Majora’s Mask! Somehow skipped OoT! I love this series so much. LA, MM and the Oracle games were a big part of my childhood. Hope one day Nintendo will remake the Oracles. 🙏🏻

Now into the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection. Ive beaten FF1 and 2 now onto 3! I’ve never played any of the 2D Final Fantasy games. With the physical game on Switch in hand, now is the time!

So it’s been awhile! I’ve recently 100% Echoes of Wisdom. It was so much fun and so refreshing to play a top down Zelda after so so long. Loved it. So charming

Not everyone likes or agrees with BOTW or TOTK's design philosophy. I love both exploration and linear styles. This video is a brilliant documentary of Miyamoto's thinking for the whole of the Zelda series and how every game follows his philosophy www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3dF...

My flatmate is building his new PC and honestly don’t think I could do it. When the time comes I’m paying someone to build it for me 🙈
