I finished the main part of Bit Trip ReRunner. It is great. As I said before, it is very similar to the original game.
The biggest change is the levels now have optional checkpoints, which makes the game significantly easier. I had checkpoints turned off except for the boss levels
Like the other Runner games, I find it very satisfying to play, even though it is difficult. There is just something about the pace/rhythm of the platforming that just really works for me.
Difficulty overall is a bit less than the original game, but higher than 2 and 3.

There is a video of the final level here https://bsky.app/profile/lvaneede.bsky.social/post/3lwvylhxhhk2e

It includes a remake of the original game, so I will play through that now. There are a bunch of other bonus levels too, but I might not bother playing all of them.

There is also a online mode for downloading levels people have made with the level creator, but I havent looked at that yet.

I picked up the Limited Run disc for this on PS5 but have not had a chance to touch it yet. I really liked the first three and was able to 100% 2 and 3 but I got stuck on that last level in 1. I'm actually stuck on the last level on every part of the BIT.TRIP 3DS compilation :'( . Maybe getting it on this remake will help me go back to that version.

We are now tied with last year's total  8) and I still need to go in to Discord and include anything listed there that is not here. Great work everyone! We still have a little over a week left and I two games that I might be able to finish before the deadline.

This sounds awesome, I like how they’re putting more focus on co-op and making the characters stand out. I am  looking forward to trying the demo and picking it up on Switch 2 when it launches.

Finished Enslaved Odyssey to the West. I really enjoyed it, definitely my kind of action game. I liked the story and characters too.
The game is 15 years old and definitely dated. The platforming and combat was quite janky, but it was fun. The combat was kind of annoying to start with, but after I unlocked some more abilities, it got better and easier.

That game has one of my favorite cutscene exchanges, where the game breaks the 4th wall and Monkey openly complains about how much tedious combat you're going to have to do once your partner starts hacking a terminal.

Metroid seemingly being delayed to 2026 (or Beyond) is a real blow. Looks like there's really no reason to own a Switch 2 in 2025 unless you really like mascot racing games. I mainly bought mine to play Switch 1 games with performance that isn't soul-drainingly bad. Guess that's just going to have to do.

So they revealed Kirby's release date as Nov 20.  That is a lot later than I expected.  I figured worse case scenario it would be October.

Now what are the odds Nintendo releases anything in 2025 after Nov 20?  After that you risk missing the Christmas shopping window.  So I fear Metroid is moving to 2026.  Why would they give Kirby a Direct first if it was the later game in the release schedule?  You figure they would do all of this in order.  So a Nov 20 date suggests that nothing that has been announced but doesn't have a date will get released before then.  And it's late Nov too.  A Dec release would probably be at the beginning of the month.  I can't imagine Kirby on Nov 20 and Metroid only a few weeks later.

Next game to play is Bit Trip ReRunner. It launched on PC in 2023, but I didnt find out until a few days ago that it launched on Xbox last year. I have played some of it already. Its kind if half remake and half sequel to the original Bit Trip Runner game on WiiWare. Im really enjoying it so far.

45 minutes is a lot of time to spend on telling players to hold the A Button.

A Direct for just this game, and it's 45 minutes? Wow, makes me wonder if this thing is gonna be huge!
