Oh yeah, the Game Awards... Not sure I should even bother making a thread for the Game Awards.
Dicey Dungeons may well also be out next week.
Swell!
Swell!

Bonus, Hollow Knight’s marketing guy retweeted this and now people are freaking out that we may hear about Silksong.
On the other hand, I’ve been doing that every Indie Direct since it was announced

This has to be the most SNES Drunk list of new NSO releases yet. On the plus side, Nightshade!
I swear, they’re just targeting me, specifically, more and more every update
Culture Brain Excel has released one game on the NES Switch app so far, so Magic of Scheherazade is possible! Magician is probably lost in the web of lost licenses and dead publishers, but Piko has 8 Eyes, another Taxan game, so who knows?
I was just going to say...
Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bou: Zenin Shugo is very good (SNES sequel to Super Dodge Ball), but really annoyingly text-heavy.
Nigthshade? Man, I always wanted to play this. I don't know who is the guy who's blindly throwing darts curating the release list, but I aprecciate their commitment to obscure titles.
It certainly is! And don’t forget that it’s a great choice for Christmas time! On the file select screen, press L R R L R R L R L R to enter cheat codes, then enter MERRY to make the bonus games more festive!

I think DKC3 is a fascinating game in some respects but I would personally hesitate to call it great. I see it as the SNES incarnation of Rare's DK64 pure excess approach, with innumerable half-baked ideas slathered over the proceedings in something that feels simultaneously ram-packed with creativity and completely empty of soul. That said, 50 levels or so, 50 different ideas. It looks and sounds incredible, too. And, you know, it's part of a service everyone already has, so...
(I'd really like to do a "Making Of" feature if I could get hold of some folks, I have some big questions about DKC3)

A host of weird, undercooked ideas in DKC3.
Kiddy can smash through cracked floors if thrown upward. This is used maybe twice.
Kiddy can bounce on the surface of water like skimming a rock. This is used maybe twice.
Ellie is scared of rats and panics in the opposite direction when she sees them. This is used maybe twice.
Hero Coins are now carried by an enemy named Koin and used as a shield, requiring them to be hit from behind with a barrel in order to get their coin. Clever idea. But mostly, they're just stood in front of a wall, so you throw the (often infinitely respawning) nearby keg at said wall, getting it effortlessly. It's actually rare that there's any strategy required besides this.
Long, banal games of Simon hidden in invisible caves on the world map. Crackers.
Dull as ditchwater fetch quest with the Bear brothers all over the map.
Just generally gimmicky as all get out, with tons of bizarre stuff like the level with the fish you have to feed, the level where you move in super slow motion and jump high, the level where your controls are reversed, etc etc. Worth playing once, though.

I'm behind on my British slang... is "crackers" good?
