After finishing Cyberpunk 2077 last weekend, I’m taking it easy, not starting any big games. Hello Kitty Island Adventure: doing the usual rounds. I have 20 visitors moved in and cabins set up for 14 more. SEGA Picross: about 3/4 done. Klonoa: Empire of Dreams on NSO: in the last world, so I’ll finish it this weekend. Civilization VI: I’ll start a new game and finally try to play it to the end.
If Metroid games were easier, I would gladly buy them. But I cannot complete them. I gave up Prime (bought it at sale) at the mines, Dread (got it from a friend) not far from the beginning.
Cyberpunk 2077: ready to see the ending(s). Hello Kitty Island Adventure: doing the usual rounds. SEGA Picross: a picross a day keeps dementia away. At least I hope. Civilization VI: downloaded this week to check, how playable it is on Switch 2. It looks good, finally I can read the text. Plan to start an easy game to get used to it. Last Civ I played was III about 20 years ago.
Cyberpunk 2077: playing the Phantom Liberty main questline. After that I’ll do more side quests. What a game! Hello Kitty Island Adventure: working on last friendships, flowers, visitors. SEGA Picross: about 40% completed, not very exciting so far. Lot of small and easy puzzles. Klonoa: Empire of Dreams on NSO: started world 3.
Cyberpunk 2077: finished Act 2, started Phantom Liberty. The 1st mission was awful, jumping around in a pitch black room and falling to my death 100 times, but finally I’m through. Hello Kitty Island Adventure: doing the last(?) story quests, luring in visitors. Insane, how many visitors there are. Also, got in the mood to do some picross, playing the SEGA one, pity it’s lacking the 30x40 extra puzzles.
@Teksette Thank you <3 On weekends I play Hello Kitty in the morning or late evening, while Cyberpunk in the afternoon (like just now), so they don’t mix. Anyway Cyberpunk is an exception, I’m rather on the mild side.
Mostly Cyberpunk 2077: map is almost empty, time to continue with the story, mid of Act 2. Hello Kitty Island Adventure: done for today, some new things will open up in Merry Meadow and Icy Peak tomorrow.
@Friendly Thanks for checking, but I would rather hear from experience of those who had problem with it. It is marked compatible from the start, still it was not working for those who have it from eshop.
@Yalloo If I exclude the recent big games like ToTK, Xenoblade or Cyberpunk, such games are in my top10: Final Fantasy X Front Mission 3 Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons Pokemon Gold Dragon Quest Builders 2 Tony Hawk 3 Dark Cloud 2 Diablo 3 As for rhythm games, my big favorite is Theatrhythm.
Mostly Cyberpunk 2077. Only at the beginning of Act 2, but already level 30. I’ve been doing side content all week, now it’s time to make some progress in the story. In Patapon 2 finished the story this morning, but surely won’t stop here. Also ticking off some quests in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
@Ramouz There was a big update on the base game not long ago when the new paid DLC was released. I did not buy the DLC, but @FishyS put many hours in it.
@Ramouz I feel similar to @slowpoke_tail, although the burn-out came a bit later, like after 40 hours. Still I sometimes get back to it and have some fun.
After finishing Bananza I decided to start the other game I bought with Switch 2, namely Cyberpunk 2077. (Pokemon Z-A was the other contender.) I was afraid that the setting and the gameplay are too far from my taste, but after a few hours I got sucked in. This is the western answer to Final Fantasy, an amazing game! I am at the part where the whole city opened up, lot of side quests to do. I am also playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Patapon 2.
I’ve already played some Patapon 2, where I’m closing to the end, but each mission is a new level of nightmare now, and Hello Kitty Island Adventure, well, this one will never end. My main game will be Bananza, where I’m at 737/777 bananas. Thinking on what to start next. Did not dare to buy Pokemon, waiting for opinions from fellow players.
I’m in the last dungeon of Wind Waker, must be very close to the end. I loved it, especially the earth and wind temples. Now give me TP! After I finish WW, I’ll be back to Bananza, Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Patapon 2.
In Wind Waker I’m on my way to the 4th dungeon, I want to complete that and maybe the 5th. Doing some rounds in Bananza, at 565/777. Might look back to Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
Doing postgame in Bananza, I already collected about 60% of the stuff. In Wind Waker I’ll do the 3rd dungeon and beyond. Maybe a bit of Klonoa on NSO, 2nd world. Patapon 2 and Hello Kitty Island Adventure are on hold, I simply cannot juggle between that many games.
Too many things going on. Yesterday started Wind Waker on NSO, this will be my main game for the weekend. I am a bit burnt out on Bananza, still I’ll surely collect some dozens of bananas. And the usual rounds in Patapon 2 and Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
This morning I finished the story of Bananza, now collecting stuff. In Patapon 2 I’m stuck at a hard mission mid-game, I want to pass somehow. And the usual rounds in Hello Kitty Island Adventure.
Last weekend with the new Switch 2 and Bananza, a bit of Patapon 2 and Hello Kitty Island Adventure was like Xmas, birthday and children’s day at the same time. I’d like a similarly good weekend this week.
Patapon 2: I wanted to take a longer break between 1 and 2, but could not resist. Octopath Traveler 2: finished one chapter 1 and I’m not hooked at all. I’ll try to do another one this weekend. Hello Kitty Island Adventure: thanks to @FishyS ‘s nice comments I got back to it and enjoying much more than before. Fantasy Life i: I’ll try to find some rare material collecting groups.
Fantasy Life i: grinding for materials for the last 2 hero crafting lives, doing mainly treasure groves in multiplayer. Patapon 1: grinding for level 4 materials before starting the last few missions. Return to Monkey Island: want to finish finally this afternoon. Let’s see if I can start my next game, Octopath Traveler 2.
Fantasy Life i and Patapon fighting for my time. In FL working on master and hero ranks. In Patapon grinding for a better army, because stuck on the desert worm boss.
Finished the story in Fantasy Life i, now mastering lives: blacksmithing, tailoring, paladin. Also a few levels in Patapon. This will be rather a weekday game, my hurting thumb is not able to do much at a time. One of the best games ever!
Fighting oak and palm trees in Fantasy Life i. Started yesterday, I could not resist anymore. Rarely buy digital games at full price, but had to make an exception with this one. Also try to finish Return to Monkey Island, which was my main game last weekend. If Fantasy Life allows.
It rings a bell, but I enjoyed the rhythm, the sound so much, I didn’t mind it. I also remember grinding a lot. I had much more patience back then. I hope it won’t be a disappointment this time.

@Teksette was thinking, what happened to Teksette, not having posted here?

@FishyS Thanks for the update on Hello Kitty - just as I suspected, and Klonoa - I’ll grab it on the next sale.

No way I pay 10 euros for this, game is already running perfectly as it is, at least for my taste.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th November)
Mostly Cyberpunk 2077.
Some Patapon 2 post-game.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure, where it seems the story will conclude soon, but who knows.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week With A Spooky Classic
@SirLink Thanks, I enjoyed Wind Waker. There are games with poorer graphics released nowdays. Switch 2 was worth for this game alone.

@Nintendo4Sonic I really care about others. And if no one cares about me, I don’t mind, at least this is a nice diary to look back to.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects (July 2025)
I got Patapon, it’s as good as I remember. Might be a bit grindy, but not annoyingly. A delightful cozy little game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th July)
Fantasy Life i and Patapon fighting for my time. In FL working on master and hero ranks. In Patapon grinding for a better army, because stuck on the desert worm boss.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th July)
Finished the story in Fantasy Life i, now mastering lives: blacksmithing, tailoring, paladin.
Also a few levels in Patapon. This will be rather a weekday game, my hurting thumb is not able to do much at a time. One of the best games ever!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th July)
Leveling Lives in Fantasy Life i. No time to comment more.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th June)
Fantasy Life i took over all my free time. I am so happy to work all day!
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th June (North America)
In my opinion Front Mission 3 is the real highlight of the week. One of the best games on PS.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)
Fighting oak and palm trees in Fantasy Life i. Started yesterday, I could not resist anymore. Rarely buy digital games at full price, but had to make an exception with this one.
Also try to finish Return to Monkey Island, which was my main game last weekend. If Fantasy Life allows.

@Princess_Lilly I don’t remember them being extremely difficult, but let’s see how it works now with my arthritic hands.
