and
Are you excited for the Nintendo Switch 2? Why or why not?
A couple weeks ago I was having a hard time finding things to play. I went back to Kenshi and Rimworld for a bit but they weren’t really doing it for me.
Then I got an emulator working for Breath of the Wild. Its pretty awesome. Its the spiritual successor to Daggerfall in that it has awesome climbing mechanics. I am really impressed by the openness of the world and the puzzles are really well designed so that sometimes I am not sure if I am solving it the way they intended or making up a work around. There were a couple spots where I had to spoof the motion controls through my mouse which was not great but otherwise everything has been working really smoothly. So now I’m looking at more wiiu games to emulate and I’ve got Skyward sword waiting for me.
I dont really care about switch 2. I haven’t had a console since the wii but I do look forward to the next installments of the Zelda franchise. PCs may be superior to consoles but I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for exclusive IP like Zelda, Metroid, and Sonic. (Mario is ok but he gets involved in too many dubious pursuits)
Daggerfall, my beloved…
