  • Thank you for your tips. I do remember reading the forums, but never getting the point of it. Maybe I should set my game to English instead of German, the translation for the latter is very weird.

    I also had the problem of finding rivals during the night that I just couldn’t beat, because they were way faster than I was. And that was the case even after upgrading every part of my car. Maybe I just made the wrong choice for the first car? Which one did you start with?



  • Maybe the Yo-Kai Watch games? They are RPGs probably inspired by Pokemon, but better in basically every way.

    You play as a kid befriending Yo-Kai (creatures taken from japanese folklore), while exploring a pretty cool city. Has a nice soundtrack as well. The story of the first game is kinda meh, but I think it still has that summer vibe.

    The second game is a lot better, with an actual story, more stuff to do and more to explore. Definitely the better game, but playing it first might make the first one less enjoyable afterwards.

    Both of these games have that childhood summer adventure vibe, even though I myself didn’t spent my childhood befriending Yo-Kai.


  • I think people judge it too much. It’s a pretty early design, and it layed the ground work for what analog sticks are now.

    The PlayStations controller for example didn’t even have sticks, even though it’s also a console with mainly 3D games. At least Nintendo took the effort to design something that is more usable for 3D games.

    And I mean after that, they rarely made bad sticks? The Gamecube controllers sticks have a very unique, very nice feeling to them that’s still more or less there with the Wii. The Wii U has more traditional sticks, but they also work completely fine. My gamepad has many hundreds of hours of playtime on it, and the sticks work like on day one.

    But yeah, that definitely changed with the Switch. Fuck that thing and its joy cons, already had drift on them multiple times. The thing that annoys me the most is that they just pretend like the problem is not there, they basically tell you to go fuck yourself. Even my Switch pro controller had drift issues, which is just something I never had with Nintendo controllers before.
