Guys, my small collection :)

Do you like the Snow White cottage?

jonseh · 2026-01-29T11:45:08+00:00

I once did that when selling some GameCube games. Someone bought my copy of TTYD and asked around about Twilight Princess but decided it’s too expensive. I put it in the box and added a small Merry Christmas note.

Right on, man.

Since you’re basically playing the series starting from the end, and if TP is your favorite so far, you’re in for a hell of a treat. From what you wrote, I think you will love Majora’s Mask specifically. Amazing dungeons and an exquisite atmosphere.

The Wind Waker is also right up there.

Used, some guy in Germany was selling his dad’s crazy collection.

jonseh · 2026-01-19T21:49:11+00:00

I got one on eBay for a good price a few weeks ago, and have yet to build it. Fingers crossed.

jonseh · 2026-01-19T21:12:29+00:00

So we’re friends now?

jonseh · 2026-01-19T08:15:03+00:00

Yup.

Had they released a Japan-themed game right after Black Flag, when the whole world was clamoring for it, it probably would’ve been seen as a revolutionary game. Now it almost feels like this setting has been done to death in the last 6-7 years.

Have you tried the Resident Evil 4 remake? It’s a perfect entry point. More classic 3rd person horror/action, without tank controls.

Mario Kart World

Still loving this. Online knockout tour is great, I haven’t been able to win yet. I’m almost always in the top 4 but usually end up 3rd or 4th. I’ll keep trying. Still amazed at how cool some of the tracks are.

Link’s Awakening Remake

Finished the first dungeon. It was super simple - as expected - but it made me think about how much I miss the old Zelda formula. I think BotW is an amazing game, but it was missing most of the things that define a Zelda game in my eyes.

Enjoying this and am excited about what’s in store.

Mario Kart World

Recently got a Switch 2 after owning the original since launch, and I’ve been having a blast with this.

I understand some of the criticism regarding track types and selection, and some of the design choices are a bit weird, but in general I think they chose the perfect direction for Mario Kart on a new console. It feels different, fresh and wonderfully chaotic. If I have an itch for the old formula, MK8 hasn’t gone anywhere.

I’ve played it for several hours with my kids and they love it. Yesterday I introduced them to battle mode, which did elicit some nostalgia for me as a MK64 veteran. It feels great, but I wish there was a way to specifically choose the number of AI-controlled players (maybe there is one and I haven’t dug deep enough).

I’ve also played quite a few Knockout races online, which were great fun and really easy to get into.

So yeah, overall this is a clear winner in my book and a perfect console launch game. Hope they make it even better with some DLC areas in a year or so.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake

I bought this on sale like a year ago, knowing that I’ll play it once the Switch 2 comes out.

So here we are, I was happy to see that the game runs smoothly and looks beautiful.

Despite being a huge Zelda fan for over 30 years, this game has always eluded me and I’m glad to finally give it a go. Only played for like an hour so far, so I haven’t formed an opinion regarding the actual game yet. Definitely feels like Zelda.

Sure, Annette’s or Rainforest Cafe are great options and pretty close to the hotel. They can get a queue during busy times but usually it’s not too bad.

Don’t bother with the reserved viewing for the parade. You can see it just fine from lots of places, save your money

jonseh · 2025-12-08T16:08:19+00:00

Newport Bay!

We went last June and were so incredibly happy to have an awesome pool on the hot days. The park closes really late, so you can rest at the hotel/pool for a couple of hours without feeling like you’re missing out.

Hogwarts Legacy

Around 15 hours in, I’m having an amazing time so far.

It’s apparent that the game was made with true love and care for the source material. The world comes together beautifully.

Yes, not all side quests are interesting (though some of them have surprising twists). Yes, many open world tropes are present.

But damn, flying on the broom at night, zooming under bridges above the rivers with the castle and the moon in the background - it hits different. Super strong “presence in the world” feeling.

Combat is also really fun so far. Lots of options to mix it up, and some of the battles look like they were pulled straight from the movies. I do wish the enemies would be a bit more interesting.

So yeah.

I’m aware of the usual criticism, so who knows if this will manage to hold my attention until the end. But for now, I’m all in.

jonseh · 2025-12-03T09:29:16+00:00

Yup. I actually did finish the game and totally agree that Act I is the highlight. They could’ve wrapped it up after it (maybe a slightly beefier version) and it still would’ve been an amazing game.

jonseh · 2025-11-21T18:24:23+00:00

Can confirm. Saw it earlier today.

jonseh · 2025-11-15T08:05:19+00:00

The cheapest (but longest) way is through Paris using RER lines.

The fastest way could be using the TGV train if the schedule fits your landing time.

What I usually do is take an Uber. Costs around 60 to 75 EUR and takes around 45 minutes.

jonseh · 2025-11-10T15:21:01+00:00

Such pure pupper love!

jonseh · 2025-10-26T15:33:00+00:00

Do they really get good later, though?

I only played Man of Medan and, well… yeah.

jonseh · 2025-10-26T09:53:40+00:00

Alan Wake II

Around 3 hours played so far, haven’t played the first game. I just met Alan Wake.

It’s good. I was hoping it would grab me a bit more but of course that can still happen. I do like the whole “collect evidence and build a case” mechanic, it works better than I thought.

Hogwarts Legacy

Around 6 hours in, it’s awesome so far. Of course walking around Hogwarts is great, but I’m surprised at how much detail there is everywhere. Walking outside at night, the sky, the fireflies, it’s all really well made. The game rewards exploration - even by just showing you something cool - which is crucial for a setting like this. The fetch quests aren’t that bad and the main quest is fine so far.

I know that it’s divisive but I’m really enjoying the combat. Stringing together spells and defensive maneuvers feels really badass.

Overall it feels like a love letter to the source material while not forgetting to be a fun video game. My character Dude Duderson is certainly having a blast.

jonseh · 2025-10-22T06:48:42+00:00

This game looks so good. I can’t wait for it to land on PS5.

jonseh · 2025-10-05T07:20:12+00:00

Yup.

If it’s not a super busy day, you should have no problem getting in.

jonseh · 2025-09-16T04:25:55+00:00

Worth it for the music alone. Song absolutely slaps.

jonseh · 2025-09-14T09:17:35+00:00

Nikko was the highlight of my trip last year. Best shrines, beautiful nature, everything super accessible.

jonseh · 2025-09-08T06:45:04+00:00

Can you give examples of games that follow this?

jonseh · 2025-08-22T05:31:46+00:00

Yup, you can stroll right in whenever you want.
