Switch 2 is here! Well, not mine, but in general. Should be getting mine soon though. How many of you have gotten it already? And how are you liking it so far?

Finished Chatper 9 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition ! I was expecting this to happen in the story, it was kinda predictable. Still, interesting to see.

Got the flight module after that, and now I can fly everywhere! Completed FrontNav of Noctilum, and now just running around doing affinity missions so that I can be couple of levels above the recommended level to start the next chapter.

Played a good amount of Marvel's Midnight Suns. It seems to me that I am spending lots of time in the Abbey, instead of doing the fighting. Not that abbey parts are boring. It's interesting to see the super-hero drama. There's tons of dialogue. I think I am on day 7 or 8, so not too long in grand scheme of things but haven't heard a single repeated line, IIRC.

Trying to most of the side missions before continuing with the main missions, so this will probably take a long while to finish. I am around level 7 now, and have unlocked lots of abbey areas.

Characters unlocked

I have unlocked Spider-man, and the next main mission is with Dead Pool, and I am assuming will unlock him. Also have some locked missions with some other new characters like Morbius.

Also started Ghost of Tsushima.

I originally played it a while back on PS+ Extra, but then my sub expired when I was just about 10-15 hours in. So bought it on on-going sale and downloaded it when I was near the end of The Surge, but when I finished it, I didn't want to start another melee action game right away, so went with Marvel's Midnight Suns.

Then my kid started playing Ghost of Tsushima Legends (MP part of the game), and I saw him playing it and got the itch to play it myself. And here I am.

I am apparently in the start of Act 2, but was hadn't done any main mission yet and was clearing the first area, so continued with that and have completely liberated the firs area now. Going to start on the main mission in second area now.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

Congratulations on getting Switch 2! Switch was my first ever console that I got on launch. And hopefully Switch 2 will be the second! (I also wanted to get PS5 on launch, but got delayed a bit due to some reasons, still, got it in the first year)

There are still some booster dlc trophies I haven't gotten in MK 8 yet, so I may keep playing it for a while. I don't like to close my game on Switch, so don't switch between different games as much as I do on PS5, but with Switch 2, I can keep my main game on that, and play different things on Switch, so will probably finish everything then... unless I get MK World and don't feel like going back...

You keep making me get back to Age of Calamity. I think I have done most of the story, will give it a try after finishing and XC-X, you can tell me how much is left to finish the game.

Thanks! Yeah I don't plan to get rid of my Switch either. Mario Kart 8 and World are different enough that I think I will keep playing both. But I still play Mario Kart 64 too, so maybe I'm not a good example for this kind of thing!

Age of Calamity has so much content, I don't even know how far I am from 100% 😅 Every time I complete a thing, a few more show up on the map. I finished the main story and did plenty of the smaller quests, but I still have so many to go. And I'm at almost 40 hours in this new save file.

lol, yeah, I remember that part about the Age of Calamity. It seems like it would never end, but IIRC I was doing all side content, so hadn't actually finished the story.
