  1. Last night my wife was trying out Tunic on Switch 2, which unfortunately has untranslsted game menus, dialog boxes and such. Luckily, there's a fully translated version of the manual online. But before we looked that up, she tried translating some via her phone, and the results were hilarious. I was LOSING IT about this last night. 😂🤣😂

    (And now I'm finding out that the manual and dialog boxes are PURPOSEFULLY a made up language that translates as you play. But, like.. any kind of vague hint about this from the devs would've been nice, though..)

  4. I don't do many preorders of anything, but I love the hell out of shooting games of all kinds- sometimes I gotta jump. Dezatopia came out in 2020 and I've had it on both my Switch and Steam wishlists digitally since then, it's supposed to be great. It's actually the very FIRST thing on my Switch wishlist from all those years ago! So when I heard it was coming out physical with Mecharitz, it was a no brainer. Sure, it took a long time to get here (I preordered in July and just got it now in December). But to me, the wait was worth it. In addition to the cartridge with both games and a manual, it came with another separate book, a CD of the soundtrack, and a poster.

    So psyched to try both of these.

  7. House of the Dead 2 Remake – INFECT'EDITION comes out November 7 for Switch. I'm a sucker for these arcade shooters. Will probably grab this eventually, I have the first on my Switch already. (Some zombie violence; blood and gore in the trailer here, obviously)

  13. Upcoming beatemup 'John Fox' where you play as an anthropomorphic fox either solo or co-op is coming to PC and consoles next year in February. Pretty psyched to try this one. Very much my kind of thing.

  15. The game 'Tiny Bookshop' is adorable. I picked it up on recommendation of Librarian Discord and I've played about 6 hours. The mood is chill. The gameplay loop is "purchase used books, sell books, help folks pick out books based on their interests, decorate shop".

  17. With the #NintendoSwitch2 just about two weeks away, I thought it’d be a good time to look back at the games I’ve played the most on the #NintendoSwitch since its launch.
    A perfect excuse to collect my personal Top 10 under #MossysSwitchCountdown - each with a short thought or little story attached.

    Sometimes even a metalhead needs a cozy game to survive the grind. 😉

    Can’t wait to revisit these! One game a day, starting tomorrow!

  19. Final Zone「(FZ戦記アクシス」is a great looking retro inspired isometric shooter from Ratalaika (can't really go wrong with most of their games) that just came out on Steam (and it's on consoles, too, including Switch). It's fairly inexpensive, too (less than $5 right now), and on sale for a few more days.

  21. Did a lot of losing at Heroes of Loot tonight. I mean, I had some good runs. I won til I didn't. No end bosses in it, either. Not that I've found. I got like, 18 levels down in one run tonight? There's bosses interspersed throughout the levels. And it's always me being too gung-ho. I even had life regeneration a couple times, if I just would've waited it out 🙄 I just wonder if the game even has an ending 😂

  27. The other day they announced 'The Hive' expansion for Bee Simulator coming to Switch and other consoles later this year. I played Bee Simulator on Xbox and loved it (I love both bees AND animal sim games, so it's a no-brainer). I should jump back in. Curious to try out this expansion. Might even make me double dip for Switch 😂

  29. I hadn't played or even heard anything about this 'Fate' series but it looks like very much my kind of thing, and now it's remastered for the Switch. Will be looking out for a sale on this one.

  31. It's already on Steam (here, with a free demo to try: store.steampowered.com/app/237), but I'm pretty psyched Heroes of Loot: Gauntlet of Power is coming to Switch next month (in a few days, on March 4).

    I love the first Heroes of Loot, I play it a lot on my Switch now. Will be cool to try this one out.

  33. Beef Cat Ultra hits the Switch today, priced super inexpensive at $7. It's a Game Boy style auto-shooter (has a kind of look like a cute Vampire Survivors). Six playable characters, unique power-ups, chiptune-guitar fueled soundtrack. What else could you ask for.

  34. Personally, I'm a fan of any video game that has a great looking claymation type style and also contains an enemy that's an anthropomorphic blimp blasting huge gobs of mucus at you from its giant nose (see pic).

    Barraka is a game that's coming soon to Steam and consoles. The graphics are a combination of real images, stop motion and traditional animation. According to the game's description, heroine Ainhoa is making her way through a strange amusement park. There's mini-games like mole smashing and target shooting- you progress and earn coins, purchase and upgrade equipment to help her discover secrets hidden in the park’s barracks. The soundtrack and sound effects look wild, too.

    Amazing looking game, psyched to see what it's all about.

    Here's the trailer:
