Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th April)

Hey everyone.
This week I finished Twilight Monk
This is a brilliant Metroidvania with so much polish that it sits up there with the best of them. It really does tick all the boxes The combat is weighty and feels nice amd chunky
This game also sounds amazing with some great music and sound effects and the graphics are gorgeous. Each area is different and some of the backgrounds both artistically and musically are top notch. There is a top down overworld where you travel between each location that has random battles ala a certain fantasy game.
I highly recommend it.

I also bought Anyaroth: Queen's Tyranny which I look forward to playing.

I have my Switch 2 MarioKart bundle pre-ordered (I'm glad I live in Australia and don't have to jump through hoops to preorder consoles) so I'm playing the waiting game. I hate this game.

Have a great weekend everyone

I've been having to go out of the house to help with family a lot recently, so I didn't want to start a big new RPG for the moment. ... Instead I was looking for something small I could play while on public transport.

I played Ufouria The Saga 2, and........ it was ok but not great. It was very short, and the randomised nature of the level design made exploring feel very repetitive and unsatisfying. In order to collect all the cans, you have to play through a level, collect 2 cans, go back to the hub, select the same level, find 2 more cans, go back to the hub, etc etc etc. Because the layouts are randomly selected, so you can't actually reach all the can locations until the game cycles through all the possible layouts. It's not great tbh. I kinda just wish they made a proper persistent world with normal hiding places.
I think the original Ufouria on NES was so much better. Very unfortunate since I was expecting it to be so much more.

After finishing Ufouria, I began New Super Lucky's Tale. This one's okay. It has rather slow-feeling movement, and your moveset is pretty basic. It kinda reminds me of older early 3D games like Croc where running, jumping, and stomping are pretty much all you need. But that's fine - it's not trying to be anything particularly revolutionary, it's just a decent kid's platformer. Which is pretty much what I was looking for anyway. So it's all good.

but...platformers these days all really seem to want to have clothing as the main unlockables, don't they? Super Lucky's Tale, Rayman Legends, Mario Odyssey, and even Gimmick 2, which I also played recently, all have a big emphasis on unlocking clothes for some reason. ...Am I the only one who wants the main character of a mascot platforming game to actually look like their character design??
Clothing options are just so uninteresting to me.

I've been playing Gravity Circuit, which I enjoy a lot. It's a Mega Man wannabe, and I've reached the point where you're fighting the same 8 bosses again (two icons are greyed out so maybe only just 6 of them in normal mode?). I'm going for finishing the game without using boosters / improvements but if that proves too difficult I'll just cave in and make things more doable for myself. So far I've managed to beat 3 of them, and of course they come in a random order every time.

Tetris Effect Connected is my other go-to game in the weekends to help reach the community goal and participate in the full moon ritual.

The new Hyrule Warriors game made me get back into Age of Calamity .. I'm playing some missions in between on my dedicated Zelda Switch. 😍

Happy gaming!! ✌🏻🧡🎮

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. I will be playing Kingdom Hearts 3, which I am enjoying sufficiently. Have a great weekend, fellow video game enthusiasts.

This week I will be mostly playing

Super Luigi Galaxy 2
Mario Kart 8DX

Still playing Xenoblade X - 30 hours in and loving it!

I am so near to the final boss in Xenonblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Will definitely finish it thus weekend including mopping up some side quests.

I haven't got a clue what to do next in my backlog 😂

Had a health scare this past week and so I’ve just been chilling with Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Since now my anxiety has calmed and I’ve got doctors appointments to help me figure things out, I can start a game called The Rootrees are Dead. I believe it’s PC only right now.

More Planet Zoo. Only two main missions left. This time, I have to manage a neglected Zoo in Japan.

Edit: I will also be playing for Team Morning in the Splatfest.

Happy gaming everyone!

Taken my 3DS for a short holiday, so seemed a perfect time to start Metroid: Samus Returns. Beautifully animated, and enjoying the parry system. Very happy the 3Ds got such a good late game.

When I get home, I also hope to carry on with Ni no Kumi: Wrath of the White Witch - it’s really great.

Just got Ys X Nordics in the post yesterday. Really enjoying it so far

Today gotta be out with friends so no gaming for me! Maybe tomorrow will finish digimon cybersleught story, reached chapter 19. Happy gaming everyone!

Nothing new, same old Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. 50 hours in, doing side quests, will start chapter 9 soon. So curious how the story unfolds.

Splatoon 3's Splatfest (obvs). Team Night Time, let's go!

Came close to finishing Dragon Age:The Veilguard yesterday so I'll try and end that this weekend. The game's been fun but almost painfully formulaic for roughly eighty percent of its runtime, though the developers do appear to have pulled out all the stops to craft a spectacular (if tearjerky) climax. Outside that I don't know. I work weekends and I'm tired. Maybe I'll play a bit of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as well. Maybe.

Triangle Strategy: A fun strategy game focusing on prioritizing troop deployment and placement that even early on forces you to think two or three steps ahead. The conflict over salt and iron creates a somewhat different setup for the story that I'm interested to see expounded upon. It's shaping up to be a long one, and that suits me fine.

Halfway through Mario & Luigi Superstar Sage on my Switch.
Also started playing Gato Robotto and Planescape Torment.
If only it was June 5th already.

Droplitz Delight (Windows Phone) - Just going to work on this for the time being.

Started Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice as I wanted something with a bit of meat but not too big. Liking it so far.

Also some Mario kart 8 deluxe - want to try a get 3 stars on all 24 cups in Grand Prix 150cc before the new one. Might even try a bit of 200cc.

And for a bit of handheld filler, working my way through gb Donkey Kong on NSO

Its a whole lotta Splatoon 3 for this week’s SpringFest. Strangely enough alot of the matches so far have been washouts. Have won less matches overall, but my record is a better with my clutch 10X Wins.

I also want to shout out Puffies., which is the new Apple Arcade puzzle game from Lykegarde, developers of Stitch.. Its a jigsaw puzzle game using those charicature stickers that I grew up with. Alot of illustration work goes into every puzzle that aren’t the daily ones, its kinda freaky. I’m not in love with it, but it is pulling me to at least playing it daily and no more than 20 minutes a day.

Mario Strikers: Battle League - Switch
Dead Space Remake - PC

Been playing ultimate flash sonic today. Finished the game as tails. It might be the first time I finished it actually. Brings back good memories. Update: done it as sonic cream and knuckles now. Therefore, now finished.

I ended up getting Mario RPG (physical) for $19.99 at Gamestop, so I'm making my way through that. My daughter really likes watching me play this one too.

Playing Pokémon Go in person tomorrow.

I've finally bought Switch Sports, and fortunately, it was an up-to-date version with everything on the cartridge (and revised box to match), so I'm quite looking forward to playing some bowling, tennis, and especially golf (and maybe badminton). Not terribly keen on the other sports, but I'll try them at some point.

Xenoblade Chronicles X. Only 20 hours in and had it since release. I will be playing until Christmas at this rate. Dabbling with Assassin's Creed Odyssey as well. Two big games that will take me forever at 1 to 2 hours a day gaming time.

Hello all, this weekend I’m still on the retro kick so for me I have been and will be playing my original PS1, Gran turismo, Tekken 3, and Kula World (personal fave). Gaming on original hardware is mint. As for present day offerings just a bit of Pokemon Scarlet and BOTW. Have a good one guys.

Went and looked up Fast Fusion on the devs website.

Worst website ever lol!

But the game looks amazing. I completely missed Fast RMX, so I think I will remedy that mistake with Fusion once I get a Switch 2. 4 player couch is great for me with my kids.

Kicked off the weekend by completing The Legend of Link: Echoes of Wisdom! The final battle was interesting to say the least without getting into spoilers. I do like how after fans have been clamoring for Zelda to take the lead role, Nintendo has responded with not one but two straight games with her as the leading lady (HW:Age of Imprisonment being the 2nd).

The main focus now turns to Splatoon 3 and its SpringFest. Repping Team Night, so Big Man’s streak is doomed to end. Managed to get my 21st weapon to 4 stars, so it’s on to weapon #22.

Finally reached December 2021 on my island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Down to only 3 cooking recipes missing after Turkey Day- still have around 60 DIY recipes to collect however. Dug up my gyroid farm and after collecting around 150 of them, I am still missing 1 type. Bit of a bummer.

The quest for 100% in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble continues. Currently at 94% on stage missions with 16/20 worlds done. Although I finally passed on one mission in one world, it may be beyond my skill level.

But now that Zelda is finished, I can jumped back into my Year of Visual Novels (likely after the weekend).

Still playing through Persona 5 Royal! It sure is a long game haha, but no complaints, it has been outstanding. I know that I'm wrapping up the final stretch now though, might even be finished before the end of today. Fantastic experience that started strong but only got better and better as the side stories and character arcs all played out and paid off during the second half. It absolutely deserves it's lofty reputation, for me.

I've been so focused on Persona, that the other games being played on the side have mostly taken a backseat for the past few weeks. I did, however, spend an hour or so with each of Afterparty and The House in Fata Morgana DLC: A Requiem for Innocence. Good to get an eye back into the story for each, enjoying both a lot.

One other thing I did do, was download the demo for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Really enjoyed the setup during the opening hour, so much so that I think I will be purchasing this when it comes out later this month! Good job demo, you did your job well in that respect!

On a slightly gaming-related note, after 13 years of great service, my sturdy old 42" television has finally been replaced with a snazzy new 50". Thought it was time for an upgrade for when the Switch 2 arrives soon. Nice to be rid of all the screen burn too. Enjoy the weekend, all.

@trymer89 Hope you're enjoying Triangle Strategy! Loved my playthrough, and the story had me hooked. A lot of dialogue but no issue at all, enjoyed the narrative and the combat in equal measures throughout. One that I'd definitely like to return to at some point for a second run-through.

Come on: it's Splatfest!

I just rolled credits Fire Emblem Engage completely punking the Dark Dragon in a single turn after barely surviving all the tower trials at max difficulty. It is exactly as consensus reviews say, good gameplay but you'll not be compelled to live the story again with the characters you didn't see through the first time.

Could now be the time I finally get beyond a quick pass of YS VIII: Lachrymosa of Dana and really get hooked after finding out who this woman with the blue hair is??? No! I started playing Jack Move instead, and it's fantastic.

Also playing Dorfromantik with my youngest after picking it up on sale. It reminds me of the board game Kingdomino and we're really having a good time with that. I can't compete with those scores she's putting up tho 😅

Happy gaming everyone!

Probably some Atomfall for me this weekend. I reckon I'm pretty close to finishing it. I'm not rushing though, however I do want to finish it before Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 releases in just under two weeks.

Bravely Default I’m leveling with +50% encounter rate on my second playthrough making it much smoother.

With all the Switch 2 hype, it’s made me realise I may not get the chance to get through my huge back catalogue so I’ve made it my mission to get through some old unfinished games.
Starting with Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy, man I forgot how tough this game was and I played it back on the ps1 when I was 10 and I don’t remember it being this difficult. Old man reaction times. Very much enjoying it though, going for perfect scores and time trials is going to be a challenge.
Happy gaming all

I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3, I'm maybe about halfway through. I'm enjoying it a lot, but mostly I'm just eager to cross it off my backlog.

I'm still playing the Croc remaster and Sn0 on PC. As for the Switch, I'm continuing to play Stitch every day, and I'm working through games in my backlog. Not sure what I'm going to play next, but Disaster Report 4 is looking tempting.

I just got Wind Waker up and running beautifully on the Retroid, and am playing a bunch of PS2 racers and Tenchu there as well.
I'm really burned out on where games are (seemingly inevitably) headed. I haven't believed for a long time that any of us can be honest consumers, but I'm not big on modeling nihilism for my kids either...

Finally dove properly into Y’s X: Nordics and am really loving it so far! I enjoy building up my ship+crew like making the castaway society in Y’s VIII. And who knew naval warfare could be so fun?
Other games are mostly on hold, though I did play some Mario Party and Rayman Origins with my younger in-laws.

Sometime last week I finally beat all of history mode, collected every Anna memento, and S ranked every mission in Fire Emblem Warriors for Switch. I've beaten the game 3 or 4 times at this point, but this is the first time I've took on the daunting history mode to completion. Must say, Elise in particular is a lot of fun. She has a guaranteed lethality build~

Don't really have a lot going on right now, so I'm playing a hack previously titled Fire Emblem Two Milkmen Go Comedy. So far it's fun!

Besides my usual life sims, I'm playing Splatoon 3 for the Spring Fest. Go Team Morning! It's going better than I thought it would so far.

I just finished playing Master Detective Archives Raincode yesterday. I loved the story and characters, but after 40 hours of total playtime, I'm starting to feel wiped out on longer games. I'm going to focus on very short games that are a few hours long for awhile (im eyeing Boomerang X), or small arcade games, like the Atari Recharged series, Atari 50, etc. In terms of multiplayer games with my family, I may play some Splatfest, Very Very Valet, or I may possibly start River City Girls 2.

I also quit a terrible job and have a new one lined up early next month, so I've got some extra time for gaming. I'm also eyeing up playing Easy Come, Easy Golf for the week (not expecting to play it for hours on end. It's just something to pick at from time to time).

Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir.

Nintendo Life's guide has been helpful with what can be a frustrating game to progress the story in. I also cannot fight the desire to examine every little detail of the background multiple times...

"What, a dead body has been discovered?!?! Let me examine this benign bookshelf in the background of Amachi's apartment for the tenth time! If that doesn't work, I'll need to hear the detective's thoughts on the sky, again, just in case."

Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll continue playing AC Shadows on my Series X, Continue playing Split Fiction with my friend on my PS5 and will also continue playing Metroid Dread on my Switch.
Will eventualy play South of Midnight on Gamepass because it looks quite fun.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend everyone

mario kart 8 deluxe
asphalt legends unite
elder scrolls IV oblivion- still doing some sidequests.

My gaming weekend is going to consist of the same games as the last several weeks: Xenoblade Chronicles X and The First Berserker. I’ve made significant progress in the latter, with only three main bosses remaining. The game is tough as nails, but fair. It’s easily the best Hardcore ARPG of the year. As for XBX, it’s really starting to impress me more and more, and becoming one of my favorites in the franchise.

Tell me if you have any experience with this. ...

Three-plus-hour car drive in two directions today to a family gathering, coming off four hours of sleep Thursday night, and I stayed up playing Civ VI until 2 a.m. Fried this morning.

Sunday = sleep and restart the Civ cycle.

Happy gaming, everyone! Remember to sleep!

On Switch:

• Rogue Legacy 2: going to 4th boss. I need to kill 2 more mini bosses to fight this Boss. Great game. Insane replayability for $14, Baby. So much fun. Its better than my $60 Metroid Dread (poor game in content).

On Steam:

• Dead or Alive 6: i have 100% achievements in this one. But its so much fun. I need to finish all Nico' s Challenge. And now i have the kast 4 characters (DLC), $0,80-equivalent each one on this Steam Sale.

Continuing on with XCX but also making room for Splatoon 3 to play SpringFest.

It's Splatfest time! Let's show the night as the best time to work. And when not on Splatoon 3, it's time to continue Xeno X. With a bit of Wreckfest on the side.

All progress in Xenoblade Chronicles X: DE halted the moment my heroine Camelia was granted her first skell, Rose. Since then I’ve been gleefully rolling around Mira vanquishing indigens and xenos, reminding my victims to “Never underestimate the power of a common woman!”

Perhaps this weekend I’ll try to make some more structured progress in the game, though Ive got some family commitments which take priority. Soaking in all the Switch Deux news has cut into my gaming time, too. I wonder if preorders will open this week here in the US? Either way, I’ve decided not to sweat it, not even about all the sad news about physical S2 games. I’ll trust that physical will find a way, for one last gen. If not, que sera sera! My backlog is future-proof. 😅

Wishing everyone an excellent weekend! 🕹👾

I'm playing this week's Eggconsole Pyramid Warp. It's a lot of fun! A simple maze game with enough going on to make it interesting. And, unlike the more ambitious/elaborate EC releases, it really has that early computer game feel to it.

I also downloaded TongTong. It isn't really much of a game, per se (basically a simple slot machine). But it's a neat simulation of old kids' medal games in Japanese game centers. I'd love to see this one start a trend as more of those would be neat to have from a preservation perspective.

Beating Link's Awakening for the nth time, after that I'm gonna move either to Kirby's Return to Dreamland or DK Tropical Freeze. I'm planning to beat either of them, if not both, before I have to give GS my Switch OLED back for a trade-in within the end of April and stay without it for a month.
Of course, I still have my 3DS

With my available gaming time being such a mixed bag lately it's been a bit slower than I'd like getting through things. I did finally finish the Sonic side of Sonic X Shadow Generations (Switch). Horrible final boss but overall the game was alright. Didn't blow up my skirt but I had some fun. Now moving onto the Shadow campaign and already I can tell it's a massive improvement.

Last weekend I put more time into Snowrunner (Switch) than I intended to. I'm just so deep into those hefty jobs in Ontario, Canada it's so easy (easy) to just kick back and get to work. Some of those jobs really make you sit and think about routes and where best to get your needed supplies. Something so basic really just hooks you in for hours

And lastly I'm hoping to slowly keep chopping away at my second playthrough of Red Faction Guerrilla Remastered (Switch). Game is so fun but I really want to see how the later game will go down without using any of those game breaking backpacks this time around!

I'll stick to Guilty Gear Strive mostly

South of Midnight on xbox and XCX DE on switch

A chapter of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance is currently my go to every night before bed. The locales & maps. Ike’s tale. It just hits a bit different from the past few recent entries I’ve played. It shows its age being a GameCube original yet somehow never lets me down. Nintendo strikes again! Brilliant. Also all this kart race talk for the new system has made me dip in & out of Mario Kart Double Dash along with my daily crown hunt journey in Monster Hunter Wilds

I'm just going to finish up Luigi's Mansion 2 HD today and that will be another game scrubbed from the Switch 1 back log.

I’ll be playing “Do your taxes.”

It has been a busy week. I’ll just play something like Animal Crossing or Tetris Effect to unwind at the end of the day.

Jumped back into Animal Crossing after Nintendo refused to give me a knew one for Switch 2! Fishing Tourney today.

Between the small price/filesize and this week's free SaGa collab DLC, I'm finding myself occupied with yet another gameplay formula codifier in Vampire Survivors which could always prove a weekend-sized time sink all by itself or in tandem with the similar yet verifiably distinct ongoing journey in Twilight Survivors, but that doesn't necessarily stop my hybrid appetites from once again eyeing specific playthroughs (Minstrel Song, Of Mice and Sand, Valkyria Chronicles, Powerwash, Bomber Crew, Train Life) and franchise-spread sessions (Xenoblades, Tales, Atelier, Castlevania, Rune Factory, Persona). The handhelds may also elbow in with a salad of Final Fantasies, more Tales, Nioh, Gravity Rush and Chase Begins, and I'm not completely ruling out a bit of homebox time (potentially invested in some PS3 titles like MotorStorm Apocalypse) either.

Ghostwire Tokyo on ps5. And maybe finish Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Purgatory

Xenoblade Chronicles X and Avowed again this week. Some Monster Hunter Wilds whose update we still haven't touched, but today should be the day.
That should do it! I'm basically getting nothing until Switch 2 at this point, and who knows if I'll even be able to get that. Of course, I wouldn't mind a chance to go back and play some oldies...

This past week, I finished both Ori and the Will of the Wisps, as well as Pine. Not sure what to start next… maybe Downwell, or Metroid Prime Remastered?

I’ll give Streets of Rage a run now that it’s been adde to the Switch online. Maybe Mario Kart 8 too.

What a week 😅. I am playing the usual still but making a little progress.

Xenoblade chronicles X - on chapter 1. So much to explore. Moving very slowly on it. I kind of want to wait until the switch 2 comes out so I can play it on better hardware Though. I do believe it will get an upgrade of some kind.

Bravely default 1 on 3DS - finally did that awful side quests lol but i cheesed it a bit. I don’t care. It was frustrating. Continuing with the story.

Drakengard 1 on my retroid - got to the last chapter in the last part of the game but as Nier/drakengard fans know, it doesn’t end there. This is just one of 5 endings. I will get ending A this weekend but things really got crazy in the last chapter. Pretty brutal game.

I took yesterday off work and gamed a little, but I also went hiking in the afternoon - some of this was rugged terrain - to touch that grass stuff and hear nature-y sounds. Reality CAN be a great game in the right setting, even if I did have a couple slight misadventures. Today is a recovery day before a busy Sunday.

Currently Playing:

• Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake (Switch) - I started this one a few nights ago. I'm in the wide world now and just visited the king of Romaria. Some Robbin' 'Ood guy pinched his crown, and he understandably wants it back. Beautiful game so far, even if I can feel the NES bones underneath. For now I have the generic party setup of Hero, Warrior, Mage, and Priest/Cleric.
• We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie (Switch) - My current side game. So far, it's a slight improvement on Katamari Damacy Reroll, though arguably slightly more difficult with some of its objectives. Still, it's weird, goofy fun. If only some of these "fans" weren't so picky....

I didn't post last week, but I finished both Kirby: Planet Robobot (and Meta Knightmare Returns by extension) and finished all the puzzles in Mario's Picross on NSO. Minus the time trials.

Happy gaming!

My buddy's clearing out space in his apartment, so he gave me some of his old Xbox360 games, one of which being Dark Souls 2. I've never played this one before, but I do recall hearing a lot of negativity surrounding it over the years. Perhaps because I went in with low expectations, I've actually really been enjoying it. The exploration has always been my favourite aspect of the souls games, and this one has some of the coolest environments in the series.

This weekend I'll be playing the other half of Pac-man world 2 on my gamecube (once the disc arrives in the mail today) along with continuing a Kappas trail on my new 3ds xl.

With Silksong confirmed for this year (and hopefully not slipping) I’m playing through the first game again. Just a stunning game on all fronts. Hopefully I finish it before the sequel releases (which given it’s development time so far I should probably be fine 🥴)

Metroid Dread

Still playing through Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit. I recently finished Turnabout Legacy, easily one of the series’ best cases, so now I’m on Episode 4: A Turnabout Forsaken, in the Middle section. I still remember a few of the twists from my last playthrough but the end of the Former section of this case still gives me chills.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows and South of Midnight for me.

Currently playing xenoblade chronicles x and doing missions in noctilum.

I WANNA PLAY NETBATTLES WITH SOMEONE

Splatfest for me this weekend. Team Morning. This will probably be my last splatfest before I’m all consumed with Switch 2….thats if I can ever preorder the dang thing….COME ON NINTENDO!

@SirLink If I could cast a vote I'd say Tropical Freeze should be next! That is by far my most favorite platforming game. Mario Wonder came close but I just never stopped having a blast with Freeze from beginning to end. So challenging yet in a fun way

Brothership has taken a backseat, and I'm playing 20XX when I can. Really enjoying it! It's definitely a game I needed, and I should be able to go through a full run soon.

Not much outside of that, maybe a little Team Kirby Clash Deluxe for some gem apples.

Happy weekend and God bless!

just playing Animal Well, loving it so far.

Balatro
Breath of the Wild
Tears of the Kingdom
Arcade Paradise

Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition: I spent like 20-30 hours just exploring and doing sidequests after I got my skell at the end of chapter 6 so I think it's probably time to continue the story and start chapter 7.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: I'm on the 2nd chapter of the war phase in Crimson Flower. I will probably spend the in-game month grinding supports. I have so many recruited characters that I just use the BE students for story missions and the recruits for auxiliary maps.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna the Golden Country: I finished the first fight with Malos, and now there's dozens of sidequests in Auresco lol. I'll probably try and complete them all before continuing the main story to avoid any issues with the community level.

Mario Kart 8: Deluxe: If I end up getting Mario Kart World on Switch 2, I probably won't want to go back to MK8 afterwards so I figured I might as well get my fill now. Now that I'm playing it again, the Booster Course tracks were a lot better than I originally thought.

Rhythm Games: Arcaea & Kamitsubaki City Ensemble

@RubyCarbuncle Ugh Ive had those too. Thankfully my heart is fine, and I hope yours is too!

LEGO STAR WARS: THE SKYWALKER SAGA
TETRIS EFFECT: CONNECTED
TETRIS 99

NSO NES:
SUPER MARIO BROS. 3
THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
METROID

God bless, have fun gaming, and enjoy your weekend, everyone!

seriously cant wait to put preorder down on switch 2 and several games as well hope that new preorder date comes in the next few weeks.

I beat all the special zone levels in super mario world w out dying

@Ganner thanks for your advice! So I'm gonna play Tropical Freeze next!

Played some Splatoon 3 earlier. Probably going to continue playing Ryza 1 at some point this weekend.

I have a couple things I'm playing currently:

Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition
Trigger fan finally giving this game a fair shake. Fun so far.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Imma a little conflicted now that I know an enhanced version will exist once Switch 2 comes. But then again, I do have The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom I still need to deal with, so I'll keep playing for now.

Been replaying AI: The Somnium Files - Nirvana Initiative mostly, hopeful to wrap it up in the next couple days since I'm in the back end of it, though still got a couple of side endings to get before the true one. Also need to get back to the playthrough of Ocarina of Time I had in progress.

In about 12 hours I’m going to be playing Switch 2 games at the ExCeL, and I am beyond buzzed. Got my OG with me to test the theory that it hits different after seeing the new one.

I am also on a Nat.Ex that had better get to Woodall Services a bit sharpish, because I am in dire need of the loo. 💧

I love to see the wide variety of games listed when people are asked what they are playing. It’s a stark contrast against the small handful of games ever featured here on NintendoLife in articles and reviews.

@RiasGremory I’m right there with you! I’ve been watching the gaming sites like a hawk for any sorta news on preorders. I’ve also registered my interest to purchase from the My Nintendo Store.

Burnout 3, Wind Waker, and New Vegas. Mayyyyybe some Brutal Doom. The Switch is lost somewhere in my home. I'm dying to play more Star of Providence and XCX:DE. But then I'd have to look for stuff.
I'm lamenting modern gaming and most modern things recently.

Just finished Another Code Recollection: Two Memories.
Never got to play it on the DS (or the sequel on Wii), though I was interested.
I love these quality niche games. (Anything where the gameplay isn't mindless killing). It's even Nintendo-exclusive, I think.
Awesome atmosphere, awesome updated graphics, fun puzzles.
And the second game just started seamlessly. Whoa!
Thumbs up!

Stardew Valley. I never thought that a sims style game could hook me. As I thought Sims, Harvest Moon, and Animal Crossing were just so-so. This one is a bit addicting.

Bit late, but I might as well do it now, because late is better than never, right? I've started playing Ace Attorney Investigations 2 Prosecutor's Gambit, and am already on the second case. The first case was great, and so is the second case so far. I just met Gavèlle and Eustace. I know last time I said I'll pause playing Trails in the Sky, and I did, but I'm already back to playing it. I just found the missing airliner, and Olivier has joined the party! I will probably pause again after I report the quest as done. I am, of course, still playing Fire Emblem Heroes, where I am on Chapter 6 of Book IV. Throughout the week, I also played A Hat in Time, which I beat, Fire Emblem Awakening, where I finished Five Anna Firefight, Final Fantasy VII, where I reached Wall Market, and I think that's all.

Well here we go with another cool WAYP. The week was some cool games all around. Mostly Trails Through Daybreak, Mario and Luigi, Monster Hunter, Pirate Yakuza, WWE2K25, Dynasty Warriors Origins, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. All continue to be excellent games, loads of fun all around I don’t think any of the games are bad so far they’re all exciting and feel good to play. Most of the weekend was spent with…. No games. Yep that’s right I was in NYC this weekend seeing the GF again. Watched Coachella actually it was pretty neat. Charli XCX rules. Rest of the weekend I’m thinking is gonna be some Monster Hunter Wilds. Yeah the plot is absolutely kicking into high gear with Monster Hunter and I couldn’t be happier this game absolutely rules each new monster is better then the last man it’s so cool. Otherwise I’m thinking this week is mostly gonna consist of some Trails Through Daybreak, Mario and Luigi Brothership, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, Tales of Graces F Remastered, Split Fiction, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Dynasty Warriors Origins, Monster Hunter Wilds, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Disgaea 7, Atelier Yumia and Pirate Yakuza. Still wanna try to start Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition but work continues to be well….. work. Let’s just hope a Switch 2 is easy to get eh? The wrestling thing this week is WrestleMania 41. We basically got all the matches announced and yeah it’s genuinely kinda peak it’s like some of the best matches around. Here’s hoping we can see almost every title change or at least gimme a win for Jacob Fatu and Penta for the US Championship and Intercontinental Championship respectively. Anime of the week gotta go to Solo Leveling, Okitsura, Dragon Ball Daima, 100 Girlfriends and Shangri La Frontier. Yeah picked Okitsura back up again and honestly loving how much it’s teached me about Okinawa. And with Daima I finished that with the GF and honestly it was super cute and fun. Also gave the Devil May Cry anime a shot and I found it pretty cool and it’s given me the DMC bug again, feeling that big Vergil vibes. Podcasts of this week gotta go to Castle Superbeast, Big Think Dimension, Into The Aether, RPGsites Tetracast, Minnmax, Jeff Gerstmann, Kit and Krysta, Punching Up, Easy Allies, Second Wind, Nextlander, Cultaholic Wrestling, Weapon Wheel Podcast, Let’s Anime and Remap Radio. As always yall stay safe, be cool to each other. Have a totally safe and cool weekend and of course Happy Gaming.
