Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I WON A FIVE MAN BRACKET WOOOOO! Also played some Skullgirls casuals for a little while after the bracket ended.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City - :(
Splatoon 3 - Heavy Edit got shot. The rest of the changes seem fine, but as always I’m just annoyed that they don’t do more.

Rollback is confirmed, but no crossplay sadly.
This just feels so late that they should’ve just waited for Switch 2. If Switch 2 is a perfect port with crossplay it would be a day 1 buy, but I don’t know if it’s worth picking this up without it.
That really doesn’t answer my question. Why did you feel the need to click onto !nintendo@lemmy.world when you could just keep scrolling? New is going to be full of things that don’t personally appeal to you, you don’t need to go around announcing it on everything you see.
I’m seriously asking you: Why come here?
Do you talk just to annoy people then?
Buddy, I’m telling you that nobody asked. You don’t have to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to inform us all that you don’t care about Nintendo, why would you even think that necessary to tell us? Did you expect anyone to care?
switch port is downgraded to 30
it’s a fucking wii game there’s no excuse for this
seriously just give me one of the classic 2D games if you can’t get this shit right
You clicked on the thread and you typed the comment. You felt the need to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to tell us this.
Can’t believe Namco actually remembered that other Tales games besides Symphonia exist.
Now give us Destiny DC + 2. Or anything else that hasn’t been released in the west for that matter, anything.
I’m not sure why you felt the need to come to !nintendo@lemmy.world to tell us this.
There are some old English-language resources available on the wiki. But I’ve never quite liked the way we try to teach the game by just showing pictures of an idealized chain built in a frictionless vacuum, it’s a very “draw the rest of the owl” approach. Nor do I know what a better approach looks like for a game this abstract.
At one point I was working on a video where I’d build a chain step-by-step and overexplain my thought process on each piece. But that sits on a large mountain of unfinished projects and ideas. I’m retired from the game now because, well, I can’t continue justifying my competitive energy towards a game that just has no future as long as its publisher hates it, so it’s never going to get finished.
If you want functional online, the Switch version of Puyo Puyo Champions is the only title worth bothering with. Specifically Switch, other platforms are ghost towns.
If you want singleplayer content, 15th Anniversary, 20th Anniversary, and Chronicle are all peak. None of these games were released outside of Japan and they’re older titles you’ll have to emulate, hence all my salt about the state of things today, but at least they do have fantranslation patches.
I wrote that essay back in 2021, and three years later time proved all of it correct. This game straight up killed the series.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Made top 8 at locals. Then played a long casual set with the guy who eliminated me from bracket, came out of it feeling like I understand the Carmine matchup better now. Bonus casual netplay clip.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Ever since Balatro blew up, people have been joking about when we’re gonna see the mahjong roguelike next. Then four different ones went into development. Then Mahjong Soul surprised dropped a fifth one as a limited time event, and it might be the most promising of all of them. Then I broke the hell out of it.
Splatoon 3 - Team practice. Don’t have any cool clips to share rn, maybe next week.
Don’t. There’s no reason to care about the anniversary of someone creating an account on a website. “Cake day” as a concept was one the most insufferable reddit-isms, and will remain so no matter what else you call it.
Kitsune Tails - Cute little platformer, but maybe a little too on the nose in just how much it copies from SMB3. I think they didn’t need to put Kuribo’s Shoe in there. Then I got to act 2 and I’m just replaying the same levels with a character who has a bunch of strong movement abilities. New levels designed for this character would’ve been great, but why am I replaying the same ones but now way easier?
Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers - Liked the demo a lot, but my opinions keep going back and forth on the full version. At first it felt like there just isn’t enough player agency to consistently get out of the early game or deal with everything the endgame throws at you, but then I started to work out the winning strat by just repeatedly forcing the opponent to bust. Doing that all the time is a little linear though, and the gap between broken cards and worthless cards is a lot.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Did alright in this week’s bracket. Hyde still terrifies me.
Splatoon 3 - lol, lmao
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Came up with a new strategy at club this week where I just draw good tiles over and over.
I’m not even sure who owns the rights to the series anymore since Flight-Plan went out of business a long time ago. Don’t know if it ever could get a rerelease.
Same as last week.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - I’m back on my bullshit again. Uzuki arc was fun, but when it comes time for bracket I gotta lock in. And by lock in, I mean still play like a clown.
Splatoon 3 - Didn’t have too much time to practice this week, but had one good session. Really trying to work on more actionable callouts, coordinating with our specials and planning a push together rather than merely announcing things after they happen.
Persona 4 Golden - Still just post-Kanji dungeon. At the rate I am going I will finish this game… someday.
Summon Night: Swordcraft Story - Man, forgot how annoying it was that you have to always go for weapon breaks against bosses or else you miss their blueprint forever. Also, RHDN shutdown has me wondering, if/when the third game’s translation patch ever gets finished, where do I even look to find out about it?
Slay the Spire - I can quit any time I want, I swear.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Came dangerously close to losing my Master 1 rank on Soul, but got a few wins so I’m safeish now. I know I’m too reckless and I’m trying to work on that. I did play one of the best games I’ve had at club this week, had the discipline to fold several tempting hands and it turned out to be correct every time. Sometimes protecting second place through smart play is more satisfying than lucking into first.
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes] - Goofy clip of the week
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Friend came to visit from out of town, played some casual 3S for a little while. Also managed to rope him into trying out Waku Waku 7 and Twinkle Star Sprites as I wanted to show off some fun hidden gems in my collection.
Mahjong Soul/Riichi City/IRL mahjong - Remember when I said I was done grinding this game mode and wouldn’t do another run?
Splatoon 3 - Haven’t touched Salmon Run since the last Big Run. Was able to put up a 154 right away, but I know that gold target isn’t actually much. Still can’t kill a damn Triumvirate.
