I know the resolution is low, but if they felt it was feasible with Labo with a 720p screen, then at the very least it should look better on a 1080p screen. There's also rumours that the screen is 120hz
Labo was a series of prototypes. If Nintendo thought it was feasible, we'd have seen it implemented more. The only other example I can think of was it being added to Breath of the Wild. Either way, they were all blurfests.
I'm 50% of the way through Banjo N&B now with 37 Jiggies. I'd forgotten how long this game is. I need 75 Jiggies to beat the game and 131 to 100% it, not counting all the music notes and whatnot. I seriously doubt I'll ever be able 100% it. Some of the missions are damn challenging.
I'd recommend the game, it's visually really great looking with lots of funny touches. If you've ever had the misfortune of working in an office building you will appreciate the parody.
It's fairly short, maybe 4 to 6 hours.
I've been playing Extra Coin.
It's a narrative adventure but it's morphed into a tennis rpg. I hated it at first but only because you have to level up. So it controls terribly to begin with. Thankfully it's easy to level up and the tennis duals become very fun.
The only problem I have is the loop structure. You are supposed to honor this loop of one day of activity followed by a day where you duel. You can break the loop and do other stuff, and face mods in a boss fight.
But since you need to level up you follow the loop. This means every time you finish an activity or duel, the day ends the screen fades to black and you end up in your apartment.
You can also only access locations from a map screen. It works fine, but the environments are so lovely to look at it would feel nicer to walk between them.

"In less than a month in the Switch 2 direct you’ll see that Nintendo & Retro were keeping their cards close to their chest with Metroid Prime 4 for this exact moment. The true unveiling will blow everything else in the direct out of the water,”
Played the first hour or so Zelda Ocarina of Time on NSO this afternoon. When the game opens up to Hyrule Field for the first time, it still feels pretty epic.

Played a lot of Woolly World this weekend. I have definitely been enjoying it a lot more than I did when I first played it back in the day. I guess like many others, I was expecting something more similar to Yoshi's Island.
On the same day these things are happening:
-Nintendo San Francisco store opens
-Mario Kart Lego launches
-Doom The Dark Ages launches
-Nintendo experience events end a few days before

Nintendo did some decently fun AR stuff with the 3DS, anyone remember those cards?
They didn't do anything more with that, even when it did work well.

I want to say that I got all the Jiggies in Nuts & Bolts but I’m not sure.
I intend to get all the mission Jiggies, but I doubt I'll be able to get the Time Trial Jiggies too.
Beat Gunbrella and Elderands bosses last week.
Just Beat Kunai final boss, excellent metroidvania BTW.
Now I'm working on The Company Mans final boss.
Finally I have to best the final boss in Metroid Dread.
I really enjoyed that final boss in Metroid: Dread.

I hope that is true. I hope that is also true that it will see a Switch 1 release.
A timeless classic indeed.
