What are you playing on your Switch?

I was just taking a look at the FAQ when I spotted that the "What are you playing on your Switch?" thread wasn't linked in the "What are some good threads to start off with?" question. So I came here looking for it... and there wasn't one!

For the record, at the moment it's easy to guess what most of y'all are playing, but nonetheless, the question demands to be asked!

Vroom in the night sky.

(Nah, it's Zelda innit.)

Nothing really for the past few days but as now I'm off for two days I hope to get Zelda done then I will be posting my final thoughts but lets just say I think me and Andy my agree on this one.

Zelda: BotW.

So, can this game just go on forever? I'm going to be so sad once I reach the end. (I'm super interested to hear what this dlc hard mode is though)

I forgot about the DLC! Definitely something to look forward to. (Story one, mind, not the Hard Mode gubbins.)

The story one is definitely more exciting but am still interested by what the hard mode could entail giving that it's already quite a challenging game.

Zelda, naturally. I'm going to disagree very strongly with Mas and Andy, and possibly have to take them on in a two-one-handicap match in a steel cage.

I've been dabbling with a bit of Fast RMX as well, which is very good and kept my siblings and I entertained in the back of a car.

I'm nowhere near the end and I'm already feeling a bit sad just at the very idea that it will end. This is a game and a world I am just in love with being in, and I never want to leave. I really don't see how I'm going to be impressed by anything afterwards, I think it's gonna be even worse than when I finished Dark Souls.

That being said, I do have Shovel Knight Treasure Trove downloaded and ready to go as my next main solo game.

I've beaten the game now, but the fact my completion percentage showed I'd apparently cleared less than a quarter of the game means I'm by no means done with Zelda. I know a lot of it will be Korok clean-up, but at least I still get to explore that wonderful world a little while longer.

I've got I am Setsuna ready to go now though as I reckon Zelda will be a "jump-in for a bit" game rather than my main solo game.

It looks like this is one area where my Catholic gaming guilt comes in handy: I've still got loads of Zelda left to play, thank goodness!

Yeah I'm nowhere near done either, I only just beat my first Divine beast yesterday & I still have at least 2 - 3 towers to unlock as well.

Still wandering around Hyrule seeing what I find and doing a bit of the main story from time to time.

Not sure where else to put this & I couldn't be bothered to make a thread for it but anyone else fancy some Fast RMX this Sunday?

I came onto GNamer this evening with the intention to ask exactly that! I am well keen, and I'm free all day so hit me up.

Played a few things for NSG

Binding of Isaac, I'm not very good at the game but I have enjoyed the few times I've given it ago. I prefer playing in handheld mode and using the touchscreen for power ups which seems a better way to activated them then standard controls.

Mr. Shifty, I found this awesome for the first half a dozen missions as it makes you feel like nightcrawler from X2 but it gets a old quick as not much variety and the framerate is horrendous in places and again due to the art-style I preferred playing in handheld mode.

Snake Pass, I found the controls to be to frustrating and fiddly along with the game being short but works as portable game by doing one or two levels then moving on to what you were doing.

Skylanders, I played the first level and seems okay. I want to go back to it when I pick up Crash and Cortex figures.

Everything else I've not anything more since last time, as A) I'm playing Persona 5 along with PS4 stuff as I'm on that console B) I'm missing that big title which brings me to the Switch as when I was playing Zelda, I was on the Switch and playing it a lot.

Have you already forgotten the four hours of Fast RMX you played with yer bois last night?

I've not but weren't you/we talking about that elsewhere???

Shantae: Half Genie Hero. It's every bit as smooth and fun as the Wii U version. Also, The Puyo Puyo Tetris. Slowly I improve at Puyo Puyo.*

*Not really, though the levels that present stacks of Puyos and ask you to clear them completely using a handful of pieces are great.

I'm too stupid to do those! I had an entry-level understanding of Puyos from Kirby's Ghost Trap (and the vastly inferior Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine), then I went to the library thing. I've basically memorised one of the techniques they show there, and if I can't produce those stack things, I'm knackered!

Blaster Master Zero. The team are going to be adding Shovel Knight and Shantae to the character roster, which immediately tickled my interest gland. Then I discovered that it cost £8.99 and I had £9.01 left on my eShop account; it was meant to be! So it came to pass.

Ignore my post in the eShop thread!

How are you finding it?

This morning there was only time to get to the first save point. I love the tank's super floaty jump: it means I'll never talk about things handling like a tank again!

With Ever Oasis having drawn to a close, my 3DS has been put away (until next month) and I'm playing more Severed.  I can't play too much at once though: the nature of the combat, the ambience, the music, and the fact I just got caught in a poison gas trap, all mean it's too tense.  Half an hour tops.

EDIT: Oh come on Severed. Enemies and poison/digestive gas traps? Not cool.

Keeping at it on the Shantae: Half Genie Hero DLC, Pirate Queen's Quest. I've got everything from the main levels and was attempting the final one when "The software was closed because an error occurred". So that was unsettling and, as we know, I much prefer to be settled. Much, much prefer.

A bit of that there Spla2n as the splatfest was on this weekend, and even though I still love it and think it's very very good I've now decided it is no where near as good as the first game.

What's your opinion of this DLC? I'm well up for more Half Genie Hero, it's absolute class. But is there much to it? Is it all new?
