October has arrived, and Nintendo-focused communities have begun trading notes on what they’re playing this month.
In a thread prompting users to share current sessions, readers referenced a mix of strategy, role-playing and indie fare—naming entries such as Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave (as mentioned by community members), recent Middle-earth titles, The Witcher 3 and indie releases like Toem 2.
For readers who find new releases during Nintendo Direct presentations or on the Nintendo eShop, the community remains an important discovery channel.
Several factual touchpoints help frame the discussion.
The Fire Emblem series is developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo; the franchise dates back to 1990 and remains a pillar of Nintendo’s strategy-focused releases.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was developed by CD Projekt Red and originally released in 2015; since then, the game has seen ports and re-releases across multiple platforms.
Nintendo’s handheld-and-home hybrid, the Nintendo Switch, launched on March 3, 2017, and continues to be the go-to platform for a wide variety of first- and third-party releases and indie titles distributed via the eShop.
Community highlights: several readers offered snapshots of their hardware collections and purchasing plans.
In journalistic paraphrase, César Tribst reported keeping a SNES—the first Nintendo console from his childhood—alongside a Wii, a New 3DS XL and both an original Switch and a later Switch model, noting that he had previously sold systems such as the N64 and Wii U to downsize his collection.
Locky Mavo listed a broad library of devices including a GameCube, two 3DS XL units, a Switch OLED and a second Switch model, and said they’ve preordered a Zelda edition for that newer console.
Other commenters echoed similar collections: nkarafo noted owning Wii, Wii U, Switch and prior DS hardware; andremiguens mentioned owning legacy handhelds and mini consoles such as the SNES Classic and a Famicom mini; Darth Jomomma outlined a mix of special editions and handheld variants across GBA and DS generations.
These community responses illustrate how Nintendo’s hardware lifecycle—classic consoles, mini retro releases and modern Switch variants—shapes what players are able to play and rediscover.
For readers who want to join the conversation, check the Nintendo eShop for current releases and watch official Nintendo Direct streams for first-party announcements; otherwise, share your October play list in the comments and let the community know what’s on your screen.
