I almost forgot to post this week’s thread! Life has been pretty busy, and will probably going to stay like that for couple of months. So, not getting much gaming time. But thinking about making small gaming goals to keep chipping away at these games.

  • Didn’t get to play New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, but plan to at least clear one level every day, starting from this weekend.
  • Completed second case in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, started a third one. Loving the game.
  • Dragon Quest XI is probably the only one I spent most time playing. Going to keep playing it.
  • Beat Nergigante, with some help in Monster Hunter: World. Now have to look for other Elder Dragons, but since I have Rathian armour which has -10 Dragon damage resistance, going to grind some better armour. Thinking about High Metal or Ingot. I was thinking about pausing the game for a while to focus on DQ XI, but then I thought I would have to “git gut” in MH again, so going to stick with it. Couple of sessions every week at least to keep the skills from deteriorating very much.

What about you guys? What are you currently playing? And what do you want to start next?

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!).

I haven’t watched the Direct, going to skip it and go in blind. Though, that would probably be sometime next year.

I need to play TMNT more. May check out the DLC.

That’s a good idea. I think they did spoil a few too many things in the Direct, but also I’m sure there’ll be plenty of surprises. My memory is so bad that everything will seem new by the time I play anyway 😅

Haha, my memory is same like that, and I am not even playing that on launch. 😀

I think I’ll buy that DLC too. Not that expensive and I really liked the Shredder’s revenge.

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.

If you are getting burned out, maybe take a break, or skip some side-quests, and come back to them later. Nothing wrong with that.

Good luck with your final stretch!

I was so sad when I did all of that, I miss ToTK but play throughs a second time just aren’t interesting.

Yeah, I am not much for second play through, specially in a game like this where the sense of discovery won’t be that much, and there aren’t different classes to have a completely different experience.

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.

Demo doesn’t start from the beginning, so I don’t see how it could transfer

Obligatory, the games is available on PS+ Extra and Gamepass, if anyone has those subscriptions.

I haven’t played it yet, but from all accounts, the game is great. It’s on my wishlist.

How could I have forgotten about the Mewtwo raids? I’ll be doing those too.

Waiting for some game, or just can’t find anything else interesting to play?

Not really, sometimes I just like playing something familiar rather than something new.

Fair enough, I am like that with books, sometimes re-reading a book you have read half-a-dozen times feels much better than trying out something new.
