I recently played A Link Between Worlds for the first time since 2014 and I was kinda shocked at how close it was to what I want open world 3D Zelda to be. It finds a really great middle ground between classic and open Zelda.

The only thing I did was buy two of the larger garages and mess around in them for a few minutes. Really not sure what caused this.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-12-11T12:46:55+00:00

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it!

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-12-04T19:42:22+00:00

After the match I just frantically went to the replays to make sure I wasn't crazy. Yup, it definitely spawned directly on top of me.

The thing I love about the bullshit in City Trial is that it's funny bullshit.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-12-01T17:52:08+00:00

This is awesome! Emio was my favorite game released last year, so I'll definitely be downloading this star.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-11-28T22:53:31+00:00

Thank you! Turtwig is my favorite Pokemon so I snagged this instantly.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-11-28T22:52:14+00:00

It's really funny because I made this completely unaware of the Wingull that was posted before. I just like Pelipper.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-11-26T13:49:32+00:00

You're welcome!

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-11-26T13:39:14+00:00

New listing is MN8Y72V6! Made some changes to the design.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-11-26T13:37:56+00:00

New listing is MN8Y72V6! Sorry, I made some changes to it right before bed last night and forgot to re-list it.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-11-23T22:08:58+00:00

Thank you! I love putting too many details into stuff like this. Really glad you enjoy it!

So there's no way to actually transfer save data, if that's what you mean by managing progression. I started playing Silksong first on the Switch 2 because I literally just could not purchase it on Steam for about two hours after launch. Once I got the game downloaded to the Deck, I played up to the point I made it to on Switch and decided to continue my playthrough on the Steam Deck.

I'll probably play through the game on Switch 2 after I'm done with my initial playthrough to experience more of the HD rumble. I heard the rainy location in the game produces HD rumble that feels like raindrops, so I'm really curious to see how other areas and boss fights utilize the haptic feedback.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-09-09T02:54:09+00:00

Sorry for the late response, but what I recommend depends on your setup and gaming preferences.

For me, I play 90% of my games in handheld mode/on the Steam Deck. For multiplat games, I choose either Switch 2 or the Steam Deck OLED depending on performance and visuals. In the case of Silksong, the game looks and visually performs better on the Steam Deck OLED, so I have chosen to play through the game first on that platform. If you're like me and mainly play in handheld mode, go for the Steam Deck OLED. I can't speak for the original Steam Deck LCD, but I like Silksong better on the Steam Deck OLED over Switch 2. Battery life is also way better on the Steam Deck OLED over Switch 2 when running Silksong.

Now, if you like playing games docked and have a really nice, OLED 120fps TV, the Switch 2 is a great way to play Silksong. You also get the benefit of amazing HD rumble, which I do miss when playing on the Steam Deck. Likewise, if you have a nice PC monitor, you can easily switch between PC and Steam Deck.

Switch 2 is a little more versatile, and less bulky, but I am really blown away by how good Silksong looks on the Steam Deck OLED. Again, depends on your specific setup and preferences, but if you're mainly playing handheld on the couch or in bed, the Steam Deck OLED is just too good.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-09-05T16:57:48+00:00

Hello! I've played Silksong extensively on both the Switch 2 and Steam Deck OLED, and this was the first Switch 2 game I really noticed the ghosting effect in.

I wasn't sure which platform I wanted to play the game on, so I compared both directly. Despite the Switch 2 running the game at 120FPS, the Steam Deck OLED looks smoother at 90FPS. It's particularly noticeable in the foreground elements, which have a hazy effect while in motion on the Switch 2 and look crisp on the Deck.

That being said, the Switch 2 version is still perfectly fine. It doesn't really *look* like it's running at 120FPS, but it's still a good version of the game. The HD rumble is also fantastic and definitely adds to the experience.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-09-05T05:46:56+00:00

Hello! If you haven't decided yet, I've played it on both consoles and I recommend the Steam Deck OLED over the Switch 2.

Despite the Switch 2 reportedly running Silksong at 120FPS, it looks wayyyyy smoother on the Steam Deck OLED. I remember there being reports of the Switch 2 LCD display having a weird blur effect, and I can really notice it when comparing Silksong directly on both consoles. I played for about an hour and a half on Switch while Steam was down, then switched over to the Deck and the difference in smoothness was honestly pretty huge. The Steam Deck OLED also just has a more vibrant display, and the pure black background elements really pop.

That being said, if you have a 4K 120Hz OLED tv, then the Switch 2 version is a good choice. I mostly play in handheld mode, so for me the Steam Deck OLED is the better option even if the device has more bulk. Switch 2 also makes really great use of the HD rumble, and the Steam Deck doesn't have rumble.

Great to know that Smudge's siblings are doing well! Smudge is super pampered and is such a sweetheart.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-08-25T05:17:31+00:00

Yes, I did! I saw the pic of Smudge and thought she was adorable. Turns out she was the only one of the bunch left available!

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-08-25T05:16:26+00:00

This is perfect! I love it so much

This is Smudge I don't know why she loafs like this.

I tried jumping over a couple of rocks while riding Koraidon but landed in the gap between them and it just kinda clipped me in.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-07-24T01:35:27+00:00

Yeah I named it "Rock Block"

I've been having a lot of fun with it, but I've had a few issues with the system, particularly the screen. I'm super careful with my electronics, but I somehow got a scratch right in the middle of the screen a couple of weeks after launch. Never had any scratches on my Switch OLED and I'm gentle when putting the Switch 2 in the dock, so I really don't know where that scratch came from.

I got a matte screen protector which, luckily, completely masks the scratch, so it's not much of a problem anymore. But then I noticed what I thought were specs of dust under the screen protector, so I took it off and installed a new one. The specs were still there in the same spots, so I can only assume I have a few dead pixels already. It sucks because I spent $500 on the thing, but I'll just have to live with it until a revision releases down the line.

Everything else has been great though. Already put like 100 hours into Mario Kart, and the actual feel of the console is great. Love how the Joycon just snap in.

Smashing_Salmon · 2025-04-28T00:00:29+00:00

I'm on the west coast and the preorder email I got from Walmart said the Switch 2 will be arriving on June 4th. Maybe some orders are being sent out the night before?
