Does Arceous ever just open up? I just started playing it as my kid has been asking me to and it's the first Pokémon game I kind of enjoy. Only downside is all the dialogue and 'go here do this'. I think I'd really dig it if it was Pokémon BotW, where you were free to roam an overworld and challenge anything you come across. I've given a few Pokémon games a chance, this is the only one that's held my interest for more than a few minutes.

I assume that's a video of the person who uploaded it. You are required to beat it in order to upload it.

@KCPenguins is right. That video was recorded (way back in 2017) by the guy who made the level and had to beat it himself before he could upload it for others to play. But the game doesn't count the uploader's clear beyond that, so it is still listed as being unbeaten in the game itself. So far around 1100 people have played this level, and there are over 92,000 failed attempts combined between them.

Just realized I still have $16 on my Nintendo account from a gift card. What are some recommendations for Switch games under that price point?
DBZ Kakarot Deluxe Edition is only $20 so I may drop the extra $4 for that, but wanna know if there's anything I shouldn't miss.

At evillecon, have an atgames legends flashback out which has Famicom Tetris built in. This guy has been playing it for about hour
Not a single game but playing over and over.
Anyone who has played it knows it is a terrible version of the game compared to pretty much every other console version. And yet he plays. And plays.

90,000 of those failed attempts are by 30 players... lol

Maybe he's punishing himself. Otherwise, I just don't get it.

Right? The system also has Tetris Plus 2 which is by every measure a better game. Additionally we had Tetris Effect, Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 and 2, Nintendo Tetris for NES, Tetris The Grand Master, Tetris Battle Gaiden, Gameboy Tetris for Switch Online, and if he had brought a DS or 3DS we could have fired up a wireless game of Tetris DS with him!
But instead it was Famicom Tetris.

Maybe he's played a lot of the other versions, but he's never seen the Famicom version?
I don't know much about Tetris, but I like to play different versions of games I enjoy, including the bad ones.

Guys I’m doing it, I’m really doing it. Finally played further than the second world of Super Mario Bros 2. Up to world 5!
After like… 30 years of only ever getting past the first Birdo fight before losing interest, I’m finally plowing through. I gotta say, the first levels of SMB2 does the game no justice. It gets so much better once you get past the second world. Loving the balanced difficulty that still makes me flip out, but also satisfies me when a level is complete.
Legit felt like a kid again discovering what SMB2 actually had in store after having played only a little bit of it since I legitimately WAS a kid. Mario always does it to me, I tell ya. When Wonder came out, I felt transported back to a simpler time, and now SMB2 is having the same effect.

If you have played any other version of Tetris besides maybe the earliest computer versions, even just a few minutes of Famicom Tetris would be enough to make you want to play any of those other versions instead. He played for at least an hour and a half, right up until a few minutes before the Tetris tournament started. (He did not participate in the tournament.)

Maybe he was just mesmerized by how bad it was?
What makes the Famicom version such a bad version anyway? Does it just have poor performance, does it mess up the basics, or is it something else?

@Otaku100 give the movie Tetris a go. Real fun and more or less accurate to the real story save for some drama added in.

Hollywood can't help but Hollywood. Was particularly evident in Oppenheimer, which was a shame as the actual story didn't need it.

Kind of sad they cut this concept from Wonder, but I guess it wouldn't really fit what they were going for. They should really flesh this out as a full fledged game and make it available to purchase.
New SW Battlefront collection and Contra Galuga getting mixed reviews. Not too surprising. Funny enough last I checked the Switch version of Contra had slightly better reviews than the PS5 version. For Battlefront many of the complaints seem to center around online play of which I have little interest in. We'll see if they clean them up and I'll probably get both when on sale.
Anyone get either?
