@Les_Zeppelin have you got the Master Sword? Getting all those Korok seeds would destroy my soul

Yeah. Very handy for using on stasis objects and on ore deposits.

The koroks are so tedious but getting the bits for the level 3 and 4 armour sets are even worse I think.

I’m at the point where I can easily go on and finish the game because it is turning into a pure grind but I won’t be happy knowing I got this far and didn’t max things out.

110 hours and counting :smile:

Fair enough, was going to say with Master Sword don’t need to worry about having a ton of weapons but good luck with the hunt! You get a funny reward for getting all the Korok seeds too btw

I know what it is and absolutely fucking not!

If you got them all you should turn radioactive and make every enemy explode just by walking over to them and be able to fly indefinitely or something insane.

I gave up on korok dream.

The greatest game I’ve ever played. Simple as that.

Ending:

Bit underwhelming??? I mean the post big bad gannon.

Fully agree, you beat him and then…one tiny outro scene. Oh well, time for Tears of the Kingdom now right?

You get a bit more if you unlock all the memories. I might do that.

As for TOTK I was playing this in bed last night and my wife asked me when she was getting her husband back. :smile:

Final play time: 130 hours.

Going to need to leave it a good 6 months.

Still playing totk since May. Been to all the shrines but I’m 2 hearts away from full health. I’m putting off fighting Gannon now. Might try and find all the sign post locations.

Been playing TOTK for 2 days. The shrines are sometimes tricky since I’m still learning the new powers. It’s pretty intuitive though.

It feels so vast that I’m struggling to comprehend how much time I’m going to have to put it. At least I can pick it up and put it down.

Am going to try unlock all the towers and do a few shrines along the way first.

Yeah I kinda want it, one of my kids will no doubt ask for it for Xmas or something and then I’ll borrow it when they’re asleep :joy:

My boy wants to go buy it today. It’s been ages since we Mario’d. Genuinely properly looking forward to getting stuck in…

Oh man if you haven’t played Mario Odyssey it’s a fantastic game. Super Mario Deluxe is like a mega switch version of classic 2D mario too

There’s loads of great Mario games from the last decade or so

My kids also have Paper Mario which is really different and kind of jokes

Odyssey was the last one we spent proper time on.

Before that he’d had most of the rest, he was pretty obsessed. Just stopped dead after odyssey so really pleased it’s coming back…

I’d forgotten all about Paper Mario.

I think i’ve hacked my 3DS successfully. Got the whole catalogue to download at will. I think… see if this works now.

If it does, stokey fucking dokey.

Edit: yup!

I did this: https://3ds.hacks.guide/
Worked for me.

Don’t do what I did and use a small SD card. May as well use a 128GB one. I only used 4GB which is only going to hold a few games. Oh well.

Apart from a couple of hours at my grandsons birthday party and ten minutes cooking asparagus, me and the boy have been on this the whole time. Its as good as you’d expect.

Pre-orders on Mario RPG in the store. No idea what that is but guessing we’ll be purchasing…

Hacked 3DS is one the best investments I ever made. Not sure if you know but on the H Shop you can queue up all the games to download, close the lid and leave it to do its thing. Try and leave it close to the router as the Wifi on them has barely any distance.

Some games I recommend:

It’s obviously great for all the DQ & FE games
Kid Icarus Uprising
All the Game Boy Wario Land Games
Kokuga
Attack of the Friday Monsters (Beautiful charming slice of life game that can be finished in an afternoon)
Sega 3D Classics Collection
Pocket Card Jockey (Insanely addictive Solitaire/ Horse Racing game by the Pokemon developers)
Picross 3D
All the Etrian Odyssey games
Gotta Protectors
Kirby Planet Robobot
Crimson Shroud
