[Artículo] 4 activities nintenderas to pass the quarantine – iGamesNews

We are not going to deceive you, the home confinement that is being done to avoid the spread of the coronavirus It is not disrupting our video game routines. Those who said to their friends on a Saturday night, "bah, today I don't go out I'm feeling a little bad" and then played Zelda Breath of the Wild until 5 in the morning will understand me, and that is that fans of video games, the affectionately called "geeks", we are more than used to seclusion at home.

What's more, staying at home is all we have to do right now, does a similar situation occur in something so simple for us that can be an important citizen collaboration !? So, you know, Setting fire to your Nintendo Switch in a house like never before is a help for a healthcare system that needs our help more than ever.

Although playing is an option, perhaps you have something short for all the time you are going to have to spend at home, so if you miss Nintendo somewhere Here are 4 things we can do to enjoy our favorite company, from the most obvious to the most … desperate? Although well, you know, desperate measures for desperate situations.

Play, play and play

It seems obvious, playing is the first thing that occurs to us when we have free time. We can invest more time to play those games that we usually play more, but we may get tired quickly if they are the same games as there is plenty of time aheadso we can do other things. Try to get the 100% draw or complete all the achievements of a game

It can be a titanic task, there are several Switch exclusives that are true odysseys in this regard. I challenge anyone who reads this for example to: get all the local Super Mario Oddissey energilunas and coins, get all the Luigis Mansion 3 jewels or get all the hearts in Link’s Awakening (two of these I have done myself)

It is also possible that you are quarantined with other family members and are tired of seeing you glued to the screen, it is normal, they will surely seek to socialize with the only people in the house, but there is a problem, we are igamesnews, so we have to try to take them to our land, and also with Nintendo Switch we have more options than ever to play cooperatively: Mario Party, 1-2 Switch, Arms … not to mention the great indies that there are in this sense, for example I am giving fire with my family to TowerFall and Overcooked 2, they are laughter.

Related content

It is true that many activities have ceased due to this pandemic crisis, but The internet does not stop and there is a multitude of content related to Nintendo that we can see. From iGamesNews we also continue to offer you the latest news from Nintendo in addition to various analyzes, articles, videos … but there are many content creators who dedicate their channel to Nintendo and video games in general, surely you have some favorite youtuber or streamer that you often see for entertain yourself or get informed about Nintendo. The professional press has not ceased either and there are still podcasts, reports, interviews … of the usual quality.

It is true that E3 has been canceled and that the first impression is of bad news, but Nintendo has already focused on digital for a long time And now is precisely now when we must realize, digital comes to our homes, both Nintendo Directs, as well as related content from websites, press, or youtubers, as well as the games themselves. Taking advantage of this I do an appeal to buy digital games and thus reduce contact with the outside as much as possible during this state of alarmI am the first to be saddened by how much I like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but I think it is the right thing to do right now.

Lists

We go to the things we do that we are more "caught". When I went through periods when video games did not come out that convinced me too much or perhaps simply because of apathy, it occurred to me to do a list of the video games I had, the ones I wanted, the ones I had completed, the ones I only needed the DLC… In general, order my video games based on various factors. It is fun and informative for ourselves, we can for example see what genres we have played the most, or what month we have left to fill in the calendar, or if we leave many games unfinished … Excel is wonderful for this.

I am clear that this is a clear consequence of procrastinating while I wait for something, that is, it is something that I would not do if I did not have too much time (or wasted too much time) but it is possible that in this confinement we do. The lists can also be of your favorite Switch video games, of the best games of each year, by genre, the indies … Also your predictions for the directs that, with the indies already confirmed, we may have two busy weeks (I have even done a bingo card to give you more emotion.)

Rumorology

The dark world of rumor mill and research beyond Nintendo's official channels and press is a jungle. I really do not recommend going here but perhaps the most curious want to take a look. Basically it's about trying to find out what Nintendo is up to for the future

Knowing if your favorite game is being developed or if the BOTW sequel is coming out this year may be some of the main motivations right now. I understand that enjoy the present and not be in a hurry for what is to come, as this will be announced well in advance and officially by the appropriate means, it would be natural for a healthy mind, but of course, we may not be well screwed at all … and well, we will have time.

From iGamesNews these rumors are reported when they are truthful enough to be considered news, even so there are some Twitter accounts that we could follow if we want to find out even faster and with fewer filters, yes, it is advisable to have some knowledge of english. The accounts of Emily Rogers, Pixelpar or Daniel Ahmad on Twitter are usually the most prolific in this regard.. Beyond that, which is quite superficial, are the authentic eggplants of the forums. Resetera, 4chan or Reddit are uncontrolled rivers of ink on Nintendo, and it is true that there is an account that for certain accurate information gains credibility (King Cell, now Capitain Tsubasa), but following the threads in which he talks and tracking information is a titanic task in the interface of these websites that is more reminiscent of the era of MSN than it is today.

Maybe some of you are still as busy as before and you can only / want to take a few games, and some of you may already get along like fish in the water between the 4chan forums, in any case you are still all igamesnews. We can still get into this giant bubble that means the world of Nintendo And only our level of fanaticism will determine how far you go.

Although the new Nintendo console has given us the possibility to play on a laptop anywhere, today we must disobey its possibilities, today the Switch motto has lost half its meaningBecause we cannot play where we want, but where we should. So for your sake and that of the rest, today it is played in the dock. Well come … or in your bathroom.
