I never did the camping thing. The Wii and GameCube are the only consoles I picked up on day one.
I did the midnight launch lineup thing for a few games back in the day.
Oh I will do that, but not waiting for hours.
I hope Nintendo adds some Switch 2 games as a part of the voucher program. I would love to preorder Donkey Kong and Metroid.
Played a bit of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Very beautiful looking game, engaging gameplay, and an interesting premise.
Shin'en interview confirled it's all new tracks. Will be oicking the new FAST up sale day as the Switch2 then. Gameshare, where only one copy of the game is required, works over the internet too. That'll need to be a pretty fast connection though! Badum-tsss...
Might get it anyway just to see how it looks.
They have a similar function on Wolfenstein youngblood on switch.You can buy a version where you can play with a friend who doesn't own the game. I assume you send them a code, they download a bit of the game or a whole game, but they can only play online with you?
I just came across that game yesterday. Looked interesting, but I couldn't. Quite figure out what it was about. Please continue to share impressions as you play. Thank you in advance for your compliance.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to be excellent. Visually gorgeous and has great music and sound design. Well written and well voice acted. Combat is really fun and keeps you engaged. Parry timing can be a bit snug but well worth it and quite satisfying when you get those counter attacks. Easier to dodge but you don’t get those powerful counter attacks that you get from parrying. Good to use though to learn enemy attack timings. It’s never frustrating though because the save system is extremely generous. It saves after every fight and picking up items so whenever you die ton enemy you can get right back to fighting them again. It’s a bit like the Souls games in that enemies are specifically placed and only reappear when you rest at a flag. Flags are for leveling up, acquiring skills, assigning Pictos, which are basically “perks”.
So far this game looks to be a very strong contender for GotY.
How long ago was Clair Obscur announced? I swear I read an interview about a game with exactly the same premise at least five years ago...maybe more.

Not a fan of the Switch2's 'digital key cards'. The biggest advantage of digital is that you don't have to muck about, store and swap in and out physical media. I don't care if it means I can sell the game later. If I want to put up with physical media it's because it's fir a game that I feel more attached to, and I want the damn thing to be stored physically.
These key cards just seem to combine the worst of both worlds and are in no way a form of physical media.
I’m indifferent to the game-key cards myself. On the one hand you can sell, trade, borrow them so it’s better then just straight up digital. On the other hand though you do have to carry the cards around and put them in to verify ownership.
