It has certainly been a festive week this time around at Nintendo Life. We've been busy getting all things ready for the end of the year and are now ready to catch up on all of the great games that we have missed in the meantime.
The week brought us our Nintendo Switch Year in Review (always a reminder that we do, in fact, play surprisingly little) and we put together a list of our most-played games. We also asked you lovely lot for your favourite Switch games of the year, while we looked ahead and discussed our most-anticipated games for 2023 (that aren't Zelda).
In the world of reviews this week, we have been filling up on quality content all-round. Our thoughts on the retro beat 'em up River City Girls 2, the delightful Lil Gator Game and the brilliant Chained Echoes are now up for you to read - perfect for a last-minute gift, we'd say!
Now a group of our writers have come together to share what games they are going to be playing over the weekend. Take a browse through our suggestions and then take to the comments to let us know what's on your downtime list!
Merry readings!

Chained Echoes is going to be my game of choice for the coming weeks – I’m only a few hours in but it’s really good. The plot moves at a great pace and the combat has just enough wrinkles to it that it makes the otherwise old-school turn-based battle system feel fresh. Honestly, nothing feels more cosy and festive to me than curling up with a SNES-style RPG.
And, even though I should be buying gifts for other people, I bought Lil Gator Game for myself so I’ll probably be starting that this weekend. I think my love of crocodiles is well-documented (Totodile, Krookodile, Skeledirge), and I need something a little more wholesome compared to some of the events of Chained Echoes.

With the news of Death Stranding 2 from The Game Awards, I have fired up the ol' PS4 this week in an attempt to get round to finally finishing the first game. Aside from having to learn all of the controls from scratch once again and getting washed away by BTs left, right and centre, I am still having a good time with it and am excited to play more.
In the world of Switch, who knows what the weekend will hold? I have recently finished off all my current playthroughs - right in time for the meaty Switch eShop sale, I might add - so perhaps something new will be on the cards. Much to my shame, I have never actually played Hades and that is being given a tasty discount at the moment so perhaps it's time to finally take it on.

OOOOH my pre-Christmas gaming calendar is quite full. I'm playing Metal Gear Solid V for the first time — it's my very first Kojima game, too, so that's an experience — and it turns out I'm really good at it, which is a nice feeling. My partner is also playing Outer Wilds for the first time, which I've been waiting for for YEARS, to the point where it's actually a bit stressful!
On Switch, though, it's wrapping up Pokémon Scarlet, and I just bought Aka... which is lovely, but a bit broken so far, which is a shame. But I'm confident a couple of patches will help!

With this weekend marking the 35th anniversary of the first Mega Man game, I’m going to be booting up Mega Man Legacy Collection on the Switch and… playing every title except the first one. Look, we all know it’s the most inferior. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to diving back into the series and who knows, maybe we’ll get some news from Capcom about where the franchise is going next…
Elsewhere, I’ll be booting up The Witcher 3 on the Series X. I’ve already tried out the new update and although the visuals don’t look significantly different to me (I’m playing on Performance Mode), the altered camera angle is a huge improvement, so I can’t wait to dig into it a bit more.

Still at it on Front Mission 1st: Remake. It’s great that the same tactics used all those years ago on Super Famicom still work on Switch today so whenever I'm strapped for cash to upgrade my wanzers into the ultimate metal menaces I just strap Gregorio in the crappiest parts available with two beefy melee weapons and watch him disassemble opponents that have 2.50 odds against. This should be illegal! On that note, France won the Virtua Striker 3 ver. 2002 Shiryu Living Room World Cup 2022 on Gamecube.
Game of the Week is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. Sony’s PSP came late into my gaming path but I still managed to gather a fine collection of games. Sadly I did not have much time for JRPGs so I only played a few hours of this one’s original outing. I plan to make up for that and who knows, this just might be my gateway into Final Fantasy VII Remake. PS: Sephiroth did nothing wrong.
As ever, thank you for reading! Make sure to leave us a comment below with your weekend gaming plans!

This weekend I will be playing some Castlevania Double Pack on the GBA Played them to death but still I find myself glued to the tiny screen!
I will also progress further in the story of Dishonored! Really cool game!
Loop Hero is very addicting
And finally, I will pull the trigger on Hollow Knight!
GoW Ragnarok all weekend long.
I cleared my backlog (woop woop) and will plunge into Tactics Ogre Reborn when it arrives today, very excited
Bayonetta 3 for me.
This weekend I’m playing Chained Echoes on my Xbox Series X via Game Pass. I’m nearing the end of Act 1, and I have got to say - this game is phenomenal and deserves more attention. It’s essentially a love letter to throwback SNES JRPGs. It’s best compared to Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI in that regard.
The combat is fantastic and is always evolving in unique ways as the game progresses. There is also an overdrive meter that (admittedly some people aren’t a fan of, but I am) creates a nice strategic balance in combat. It’s one of those mechanics that really keeps each combat encounter engaging rather than spamming the same action prompt. When it comes to combat, you acquire SP points after the battle and those can be used to upgrade your skills since traditional leveling up via experience points isn’t a component in this game.
As you roam the world, you’ll collect items and come across battles that will reward you - kill this amount of enemies; receive this prize, and this will give you material to craft different gems to put into your weapon and armor to make you stronger. Everything has a propose.
Furthermore, the game offers an incredible amount of lore. The first few hours of the game creates a sense of scope, and builds on its world and characters. And, as many typical JRPG tropes do, there’s a variety of characters that have intertwined stories and they all eventually connect and create a party. However, it’s their back stories and motivations that really create more than a one note character. With that said, I wish there was more emphasis on character expressions and reactions when something occurs.
Other than that quibble, there is not much that is wrong with this game, including the great soundtrack - a must have staple in any classic JRPG. I hope more people play this game and review it. Those who have critiqued the game have praised it tremendously. It’s definitely a diamond in the ruff and a true hidden gem.
Not sure if continue with backlog and play Odin Sphere in PSVita or start Aeterna Noctis when it arrives to my mail later today.
Happy gaming everyone!
I played Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town PS4 All Day Long. 😊

I have reached Autumn season, have confessed to all 4 dudes (so I have 4 boyfriends), still building my money from planting Melon.
This week I will be mostly playing
Smash Bros 4 Wii U
Pokémon Shuffle
Dynablaster
I've had a bit of winter poorliness going on so I needed something cozy. So I'm currently playing lemon cake, a little comfy diner dash sort of game. Its equal parts stressful and relaxing but not too taxing (eyy poet and all that) but I think I'm nearing the end of both the game and my lurgies, so I'm not quite sure what to play next. Probably dragon quest treasures, but I'm not sure because I don't want it to be interrupted by Christmas Shenanigans inbetween, so Persona 5 strikers and FF crisis core are also on the table.
Played some Crash Bandicoot and Mortal Kombat on ps1 last night with my nephews and sister. Retro gaming nights > Fortnite nights! Even if my nephews don’t fully understand what the big deal is (guess I’m getting old!)
For the rest of the weekend I don’t know. Would like to say Ringfit but I’ve been putting it off today, not feeling it 😅
I got a bit of endgame stuff left in Ragnorok but considering the next ps5 game I want isn’t until next March I won’t rush it.
With a Splatfest in January I probably won’t boot up Splatoon too much until then. I’m still chopping away at Xeno 3 but I like the pace I’m taking it. It’s gonna take me like half a year to finish it but that cool, makes it feel like the grand adventure it’s meant to be not just a game that comes and goes.
So my answer is….. dunno 🤷
I’m playing goldeneye on Xbox! Xxx no I’m not but I wish I would bloody know when I could be xxx
@CammyUnofficial “I cleared my backlog” Impossible! There’s no way! It can’t be done!
GOW Ragnarok (PS5)
Crisis Core Reunion (Switch)
@BlackMayge This game seems to have popped out of nowhere. It looks really cool. I’m gonna add it to my backlog but probably won’t get to it until next year.
Probably restarting Bayonetta 3. I loved 1 and 2, but 3 isn't clicking with me the same way and I mostly blame controlling the summons and the size of some of the enemies makes it hard to see what I'm doing on screen. I've also decided to finally try to figure out how to play Stride on Meta Quest 2 decently because I'm awful at it but it always looks so fun
More MK8 Deluxe, wave 3 has been absolutely fantastic. Also I'll likely start FFVII, wanted to see NSO Expansion Pack's December offerings before starting but it now seems very clear that Goldeneye is 2023 worldwide rather than just Japan (yesterday got a Genesis update, N64 gets nothing).
The main game for this weekend will be Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion on the Switch. I really enjoyed the original on PSP back in my teenage years, so it's been fun getting to revisit it, cringe-inducing dialogue and all. Outside of Zack's new voice actor not being nearly as good as the original, I've enjoyed the general overhaul over the original release. I'm also a little addicted to doing side missions...
Outside of Crisis Core, I started up The Quarry on PS5, so I'd like to continue that. I'm a huge horror movie fan, so Until Dawn by the same studio was right up my alley. I tried the first entry in their Dark Pictures Anthology and was honestly kind of disappointed, but The Quarry feels much more like what I wanted in an Until Dawn follow-up so far. I'll also be playing Ara Fell on my Steam Deck since I've made a bit of progress in that recently.
Got to the airship-part of Chained Echoes yesterday. A little too slow at some points but otherwise a really good jrpg
This weekend, I’m considering playing Biomutant on my PS4. Also, I’ll probably play Pokemon Go for a bit as well. There is also both Alien Storm as well as Golden Axe II, on the Sega Genesis portion of Nintendo Switch Online.
Mario kart 8 deluxe booster pack courses can’t get enough of Boo lake and some Bowsers fury
Hoping to wrap up Witch on the Holy Night this weekend, then probably moving on to finishing my Nier;Automata replay so I can have a cleaner backlog by Christmas (though not by much).
Already done with the new Tetris 99 event, so it's back to the usuals on Switch with me - NMS may hog some particular spotlight to expedite the current expedition (I've punned much worse), but there should still be room for the other mainstays like Xenoblade trio, RF5 and Terraria as well as some Celeste and Beasts of Maravilla Island, Borderlands 2 and NieR Automata, Void Terrarium and DerQ... possibly even BotW, Skyrim, Hades, Morta and AC2 - and that's not to mention the good few hours I've somewhat unexpectedly found myself pouring into the revisited Tallowmere this week. Meanwhile, the laptop should see some Genshin Impact (attending the previously mentioned local convention and seeing half the attending cosplayers wear the game will do that to you😆), Torchlight and Just Cause 2 and the handhelds are likely to host more Endless Frontier, GTA LCS (where I'm through with all the Portland packages I could access at the time and might as well proceed with the plot miss- wait, that's one peculiar scooter over there by the noodle restaurant...), Eternia and maybe even Radiant Historia PC (on 3DS, not on PC😅).
No Mans Sky, trying to complete the expedition, such an amazing game
Just bought Adventure Bar Story and Just Shapes and Beats yesterday, so most likely just be playing those. Both seem fun and the music in beats and shapes is outstanding!
My wife and I have been addicted to playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on the PS4 lately, so definitely more of that. We got it on a black Friday sale for $30 CAN and it's been worth every penny. I'll also have the house to myself for a bit at one point, so I may try to wrap up Chicory, or possibly play some more from my Klonoa collection.
Android:
Deemo — full comboed a few easy level(1 and 2) songs in Shattered Memories 2 album.
Nintendo Switch:
UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r] — completed Arcade Mode playing as Mika Returna.
I've played the game in docked mode, for the first time ever since my own of Nintendo Switch. And it sucks. For some reasons, my TV's screen resolution was 4:3. Image quality was inferior to the image quality in handheld mode. I was disappointed... But, I'm still a handheld mode-only player, so that's not a problem for me. I took the dock station, put it in the box and put it in the drawer... Well, that's all what I've played on this week. Have a nice gaming weekend, everyone.
Bioshock. I’ve been off work with Covid this week, and while I felt pretty awful for a couple of days I have managed to play a fair bit, so I’m near the end (I think). I’m not a massive fan of shooters but I’ve really enjoyed it overall.
Might play a bit of Mario kart 8d or switch sports with the kids too.
I’m finally coming to the end of Ys IX the final chapter. Looking forward to Ys X and it’s new combat system. I’ll spend some time on Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Two Point campus.
I have Bayonetta 3 and Nier Automata to begin over the holidays.
Doing more postgame in MH Stories 2, as well as smash and Thems Fightin Herds with friends.
Zelda: Breath Of The Wild to find rest of those koruk
still miss couple of them
Still with Xenoblade 3 and Bioshock Infinite, but I will probably get me that Chained Echoes for Christmas!
@gb_nes_gamer Are you paying Ys IX on Switch? How does it run now? I bought it around a year ago cause I LOVE VIII, but the framerate in the city was just too bad... I was waiting for a good patch to start it. Did it improve already? Can you play well?
Got a lot of stuff on my plate for this weekend:
I'm currently snowed in for the weekend so I'll probably have plenty of time to take care of these! 😅
Just completed Metroid Dread and Blossom Tale II this week, so I’m ready for another RPG. Selected Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch out of the backlog to start this weekend. Still have Persona 5, Bravely Default II, Tales of Vesperia, Final Fantasy VII & Xenoblade 3 to get through too!
Mostly Mario+ Rabbids Spark of Hope
Andro Dunos 2 for the Switch is great fun. I will keep trying to beat the game on the normal difficulty. When I am done trying, I will move on to Asterix & Obelix XXXL The Ham From Hibernia, also for the Switch.
Happy gaming everyone!
“Assassins Creed Origins” sunk its teeth into me, it’s awesome! How did I pass this one up?
On the switch front… I’m at the sunken temple in “Cathedral”
And chipping away at “Destroy all humans”
@the_beaver I do have the Switch version. it runs smoothly enough. I wouldn’t cite performance issues as a negative. I’d definitely recommend it.
A replay of Link’s Awakening. Kind of my yearly comfort food.
I’m getting close to finishing Ace Attorney: Justice For All. I see now why everybody hates Turnabout Big Top. The leaps in logic you have to take there are so dumb, and some of the characters border on annoying.
Elsewhere, I’ll play some more Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle in preparation for Sparks of Hope. I’ve been working through it with my brother, and I’m excited to start the DK DLC, as that’s completely new to me.
Happy gaming, peoples!
I've been playing Pokémon Scarlet but having trouble getting into it. Besides the performance issues the open world seems a little bland and after playing Legends Arceus this feels like a downgrade. Will keep going to see how I get on.
@MattyBH85 you playing CM0102 with original players or updated players? Keep meaning to get back into this as it's the best version
Xenoblade 2. Currently on chapter 6 and really enjoying it. Either Torna next or FF7 Crisis Core.
This weekend i'll be playing
The Sims 3 (PC): doing a complete restart with a brand new save.
Xenoblade (SWITCH)
Yakuza 0 (PC)
@gb_nes_gamer Nice, that's good to know! I'll play it soon, then. Thanks mate
Finish, for real this time, WindWaker. Then, start Ys Book I and II on TG-16 mini.
Just picked up Splatoon 3 and Mario+Rabbids: Sparks of Hope from Currys, something simple and easy to play over the Christmas period.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I’m surprised by how long it’s taking me to progress, but it’s not really a problem yet. I’m at the third area, second Titan if you don’t count the starting area, and 32 hours in. I’m having such a difficult time getting from one side of this huge area, all the way to the opposite side. I just keep dying, which is strange because I played 3 on Hard the whole time. I think I became a little too used to the reviving system in three, so I forget to keep my eye on the party gauge. Other than that, I’m still working on the Pokedex in Scarlet; 180 to go! Merry Christmas, everyone!
I’m currently 20 hours into Live A Live. So far, my favorite chapters have been Imperial China and the Old West. Starting to transition into the second half of the game and am curious to see where the plot is heading! Happy weekend!
Tonight nothing since I'm meeting my friends to play D&D, or at most a couple of trades with them in Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.
Tomorrow I'll go back to my schedule, i.e. alternating each day between Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, Scarlet and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope... but since my physical copy of Persona 5 Royal has finally arrived I'm playing that whenever I can before one of those, too!
After finishing Nier Automata I am now mostly playing Persona 5 Royal.
I'm on a replay of PLA. The many times I kept wishing I could throw a goddamn pokeball at an enemy in Scarlet to just catch and go made me nostalgic for the better Pokémon game we got this year (Scarlet is still OKAY but... definitely my lowest rated Pokemon so far too)
Chrono Trigger. I’ve tried playing it several times in the past but for whatever reason never stuck with it, hopefully this will be the time I finish it. Playing the Steam version which has a terrible rap but…it seems fine? I don’t know, maybe without nostalgia for old versions whatever shortcomings it has might not be as bothersome or even noticeable.
Also picked up Days Gone and it looks really great on Steam Deck. That game just has a bad rap in general but I’ve had a lot of fun in the few hours I’ve played
Now that I'm on vacation, maybe I can finally make some progress on Miitopia (Switch version).
I'm also finally finishing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I'm about to do Animal Cup and Bell Cup on Mirror Mode. After that it'll be the Booster Course Pass from 50cc all the way to Mirror Mode. I'm saving 200cc for when all the BCP is complete.
I played yesterday at work to unlock the Kirby's Dream Buffet theme in Tetris 99. It was a very laid-back day so I had the chance to do it.
Beyond that, I'm probably playing the Nintendo Arcade Archives (particularly Urban Champion) I bought during the sale.
Been playing Switch Sports with the kids and grandparent, using the strap for the kicking in 1-on-1 soccer for the first time. Great fun and great to get people up off the sofa, but could kinda do with having a strap each so we didn't have to keep swapping straps in winner-stays-on.
Also dived back into Kirby And The Forgotten Land as I bounced off it pretty early for no particular reason.
Persona 5, crisis core and willow
Midterms are in literally four days, so I'm going to be studying for the most part. In my free time, I'll probably play a few rounds of Downwell, which is probably the first rougelike/lite (what's the difference?) I'm actually enjoying... which makes me even more excited to try out Dicey Dungeons during winter break! As well, I am of course going to continue to play through It Takes Two with my mom, as the game continues to show why it won game of the year in 2021.
Busy = not much gaming this past week. I have some downtime this weekend, so a lot of my spare time will go towards 13 Sentinels. Some Kirby: Triple Deluxe will get shoved in as well. Maybe.
Happy gaming!
I’ve been dabbling into Halo Infinite’s campaign and it’s pretty good fun so far. Not much other than that.
As usual I’ve procrastinated on Xmas prep, so I’ll be catching up this weekend when I’d rather be playing River City Girls 2, Cuphead, No Man’s Sky, or my Thanksgiving bargain buy Risk of Rain 2.
I’ll still treat myself to a little Nintendo amidst everything, but I hope to dig into the backlog a bit later this winter.
Wishing everyone a merry weekend!
Really enjoying Tactics Ogre so far. The battles can occasionally drag on, and I don’t love the group level cap, but it’s a fantastic game still, and really scratches that FF Tactics itch that’s been raging for so, so long. Recommended 👍🏼
@MajinSoul what did you think of nier!? And you're gonna love person 5!
I have been busy so never finished Persona 5 royal, hopefully by Christmas I will have it done. I did get several games including Tetris effect which I have been playing , rive city girls 2 and chained echoes. Will definitely play some Tetris effect for sure,
This weekend I'll be playing more Tales of Berseria if I have the time! I might play more Ys I & II Chronicles as well!
I’m trying to finish some games on my backlog before Christmas! I finally went back to Triangle Strategy and I’m obsessed. I’ve played through the first 6 chapters and I’m not slowing down yet. I also wanna continue Danganronpa 2, which I just finished chapter 2 of. The last case was really good so I have high hopes for chapter 3!
Pokémon SV to get the sandwiches for sure. Beyond that is just going to each terra raid that popups on the map.
LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game (PS2) - Finally coming back to start on Episode II.
Rayman Jungle Run (Windows Phone) - Nearing the halfway point with this one.
Age of Sparta (Windows Phone) - Working on upgrading buildings and fortifying my defenses.
Haven’t commented on one of these in a while, as I’ve been super busy recently, but I’ll finally have some time for gaming this weekend.
For singleplayer, I haven’t really been playing anything in particular lately. I have a lot of games that I’m looking into buying, but that probably won’t be for another week or so. For now, I’ve basically just been playing Forza Horizon 5 whenever I feel like it.
For multiplayer, I’ve been playing a lot more lately. My friends and I have been playing Fortnite, Modern Warfare II, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a lot recently. It has been really nice to have a variety of games to play, as it makes each play session feel fresh.
Rocket League - Trying to get higher in diamond rank 3v3. Been watching SpookLuke's videos lately. It's helping. (I don't think I've gotten out of Diamond 1 in 3v3 solo queuing). It's amazing how fun this game is when you learn new stuff and take new skills into matches.
And probably some Splatoon 3 Salmon Run. Still plugging away for silver scales to buy a black slopsuit. I've got 42 silver scales.
I've been on an Ogre Battle:March of the Black Queen for the PS1. Haha. It's so good.
TETRIS EFFECT CONNECTED, RABBIDS PARTY, SONIC FRONTIERS.... Don't know what else. Hoping to get NIER and CRISIS CORE for Christmas from the Mrs. Happy Christmas, everyone!
I may also play some Mega Man since it's the 35th anniversary.
Off of work for two weeks, so lots of games to get through (Elden Ring, Psychonauts 2, Bayonetta 3, Persona 5 Royal, Sifu) in between Holiday stuff and of course, Splatoon 3 and Tetris 99.
After scrapping my original weekend plans last weekend because a free trial of River City Girls had dropped onto NSO (to which I spent the weekend beating it), I will now pick up where I left off. I will finally begin the Mario Strikers demo, followed by Wave 3 play of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and I will play a little bit more of Tetris Effect (My word, this game!). With all this Mega Man talk I will go ahead and continue my campaign into Mega Man the Wily Wars on NSO Genesis so I can get to this apparent Wily Tower or whatever.
games Im playing this weekend
-Pokemon Brilliant Diamond. trying to level grind like crazy up to at least in the mid 60s or up to 70 for my pokey to take on Cynthia and her insansely overpowered Milotic and Lucario
-Pokemon Violet. just beat the 3rd or 4th Gym for the badge and to head off to take on the third Team Star base. That and carefully wandering around to find and catch some of the old classic pokey like Magnezone and Ditto. just caught a magikarp last night and evolved it to Gyrados which its at level 23 for now.
The game I've put most hours (400+) into ever: Resident Evil 5.
I've played it across 5 different platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Switch, PC (Steam Deck)) since it released march 13th, 2009.
Right now I'm playing it on my Steam Deck, trying to do a solo Veteran difficulty run, starting with only a handgun (with no upgrades and practically in game currency).
I simply sold all my stuff. Then bought, then sold again etc. until I wasn't able to buy anything from the shop (cheapest item costs 600 "coins") and had no items at all except for the handguns you acquire at the start of the (same for Sheva).
So far it's been easier than I thought it would be (have had some problems with some of the later chainsaw Majinis though).
Of course you have choose wisely when you select what to buy and upgrade, as money's kind of scarce. Good thing is that ammunition is quite plentiful (as long as you remember to upgrade your weapons damage continuously).
When I've finished this run, I plan to do a "hard reset" (erase your save and start directly on Veteran difficulty with out the ability to buy the best weapons from the get go, as they're not unlocked in the shop yet on a fresh save) solo Veteran run (that will be even tougher than an unlocked weapons to buy run, I think).
Then there's of course a Professional difficulty "clean slate" run to try out (but as least there you will have all the weapons unlocked from the get go as Professional difficulty is unlocked only after doing a Veteran run first).
It's all a bit crazy I know, but I'm actually trying to finish the game once and for all, so I can put finally it on the shelf. 400+ hours (and counting) in one game (albeit in more than 13½ years) is a bit to much imo.
Wish me luck
Congratulations everyone..we made it to yet another weekend. The final weeks of 2022!…almost hard to believe. Best of luck to all football/soccer fans..France vs Argentina tomorrow, NFL fantasy football playoffs start for many!
Game wise I’ve been really enjoying TMNT Shredders Revenge of late. BAYONETTA 3..the story is crazy as it should be , im still loving the gameplay throughout. SPLATOON 3 of course. Too many game options during downtime.
On Series X I’ll try out the new HIGH ON LIFE game, ELDEN RING is still in its box! My Backlog remains like time …undefeated!
On deck…Red Congo..it is better than coffee 😂 and some very potent Pineapple Express !
Happy Weekend everyone!
River City Girls 2, Easy Come Easy Golf and Omega Labyrinth Life for the Switch. Sonic 3D Blast and Phantsy Star 2 on Sega Genesis Mini 2.
@Earthbound28 Nier Automata was pretty great and it's a good sequel to Nier (which was one of my favourite RPGs on the PS3). I really liked the setting and story. It also has one of the best OST I have ever heard.
As for Persona 5, I already beat it on PS4 a few years ago and am now replaying through Royal on Switch. It's a pretty long game and enough time has passed that a lot of it feels fresh again(plus the changes with Royal help with that aswell).
Dicey Dungeons.. I got it for 90p!!! Bargain
Can't get enough of chained echoes, that's all I'm going to play. It's just has everything I want in a game.
Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core Reunion for sure, I'm a huge fan of FFVII (I haven't played that Remake yet though) and I love that they remade, sorry "Remastered" it. (It's basically a Remake, we all know that right) and of course the original FFVII. Still trying to level grind to get that hard mode Sephiroth.
i currently at chapter 11 in my 100%playtrought of Bayonetta 3, this weekend or by the end of next of next week i finish the game and then i buy Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom for my birthday in april.
I just beat Bayo 2 and will fully reserve my Christmas weekend for Bayonetta 3!
Persona 5 Strikers for me
Started Tales of Vesperia on a whim, my backlog is imposing and I'm not sure why but this seemed like the time.
The new tracks in MK8 running as well
The Uber website.
Level Overview: it’s December 24th. My shift has finished, but the last bus back home is already 3 minutes past my stop - and even then, by the time I get to that stop it’d be 20 minutes removed. And it’s freaking BALTIC out there.
Mission: find a cab back home, a 7½ mile trip, after 7pm on Christmas Eve (which, let’s not forget, is also a Saturday). Hard mode: keep it under the amount I’d make from that shift.
Oh - and Timelie.
Having a grand ol' time with Chained Echoes. It's got all the things a growing 38 year old big boy baby boy needs.
Got the Kirby theme in Tetris99, still enjoying the latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe content, but what I’ve been playing most is Super Mario 3D World on Switch. I adored it on Wii U, and my son and niece both got it last Christmas for Switch. I was helping my niece get some stars during the week and I had so much fun I started my own play though when I got home. Pure joy!
@CammyUnofficial I know I'm getting old, but that game starts off harder than I remember.
Since the weekend is wrapping up, I can honestly say, for some reason, my son unearthed the copy of Sonic and Mario at the Olympics 2020 I purchased when Family Video closed its doors and that was the only thing I played. It was really… something, for sure.
@tseliot haha so I never played it, was smoothly going thru first battles. Then the 4th battle just ramped up the difficulty and I was losing my mind trying to get it (rage quit twice). Took a break, a smoke, and was able to clear it pretty handedly, very satisfying. Point is - your memory is likely spot on.
Binding of isaac. Working my way through the challenges.
