Nintendo

I mentioned a while ago I wanted to get New Super Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (when you write it down, you realise what a silly name 🤦), but since Wonder is so close, I don't think I will. I'm really looking forward to it after the Direct!

I started playing the TMNT: Shredder's Revenge DLC and really enjoyed Survival Mode, it's pretty cool. I want to play the story with more characters and hopefully will be playing some co-op during the weekend.

The only other game I'm playing on Switch is Pikmin 4, but I've also been playing some Game Boy here and there (peak Zelda, Kirby, Indestructo Tank!).

Almost done with the shrines in TotK. Going to do a few more quests (getting burnt out), hunt more Lynel to max my armor, and then go kill Ganon or whatever.

Sea of Stars was released three days ago, and it is just incredibly gorgeous and adorable.

It's a 2D RPG in the style Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger.

Definite 👍 from me.

Probably keep replaying Super Mario Odyssey and some random NES and SNES games

Gonna be struggling against the mewtwo raid in Violet since I ain't paying for online access nor friends that have a copy of the game.

Finished everything in the main story of Tears of the Kingdom except the last portion in the castle. Now I'm on the "final push" of prep for the finish to find the remaining shrines (I've found 98 of around 150 total so far, though I may stick to just the 120 on the surface) and level up my armor before I take the castle on (I did sneak in there once and grab one important item already). That could take a while, though, lol.

Still grinding ToTK (90 hours in). I haven't finished the main story yet even though I bought the game on the release date. I'm taking it slow and enjoy the journey.

Finished Grisaia Phantom Trigger 5.5 to 08.

For those unfamiliar with this series of Visual Novels I left a small explanation about it on the second half of a comment a few weeks ago.

Episode 07 ended up rather disappointing. Given it's the second-to-last episode and we already went through introductions for all the heroes and the main antagonist I was expecting the story to ramp up, but after the decent start with Shiori we go into the warzone and.... get even more setup, with a very late introduction of a bunch of smaller villains alongside the early stages of the war.

Then we start 08 and... somehow there's a brand-new PoV character? This late in the story? But this turns out to be one of the best parts of this VN as you read the grim tale of Patrick, a civilian among the enemy forces trying to survive as the war rages on. The story keeps switching between Patrick and the main character group for the first half, then switches back entirely to the main cast for the action-packed finale.

Overall a decent VN, but nothing exceptional. I wouldn't recommend it for someone starting with the genre as there's much better things to read, but it's a nice "confort food" read if you're a VN fan looking for something new.

I'm having a blast with Pocky & Rocky Reshrined!

Co-op weekend. I bought pikuniku last week and already played it through but this weekend I tried the co-op game and it was good. Also tried the bee simulator I bought on discount price. It wasn't particularly good. Whereas playing Portal 2 and Crypt of the Necrodancer co-op was great.

Sadly nothing :( family is coming out for the long weekend for a visit and to help with renovations. Otherwise I would be playing Starfield and Minecraft (Mechanical Mastery)

I'm not playing but I'm watching a let's play for Rain Code it looks super tempting and so far the story is great. Vivian Twilight is my fav so far

I finally finished Xenoblade 3 and Future Connected, so now I’ve finally started Tears of the Kingdom.

Dragon Quest XI is probably the only one I spent most time playing. Going to keep playing it.

Yee haw! Same here for me this weekend.

I need to put extra effort in Caligula Effect 2. I thought the Baten Kaitos remaster released at the end of the month, not the middle, so I'm behind pace.

In the meantime, I also started the first Assassin's Creed for the first time. I figured, if the series got as big as it is, it's worth looking into it, especially when you can get the old ones for dirt-cheap in any given Steam Sale. I'm not surprised, but I didn't expect the blueprint to the Ubisoft Open World formula to be this complete this early, in a game that isn't even open world yet. It's fun though, but it's showing its age.
