Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th February)

Not much gaming time this weekend for me, I will continue my daily runs @ Have A Nice Death and participate in the weekly ritual @ Tetris Effect Connected.

Happy gaming to you all! ✌🏻🧡🎮

This week I will be mostly playing

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS)
Earthbound (Wii U)

Quake (SW) - Just sticking to multiplayer for now.

Equalicious (Windows Phone) - Nearly at the end now.

Asphalt Overdrive (Windows Phone) - Need to get back to this.

I beat Yakuza Kiwami 3 literally while Resident Evil Requiem was installing yesterday so I’ll be playing that one.
Also I’ll be running through another Capcom Belt Action Collection Beat Em Up with an American friend of mine like we’ve done every Saturday for the past 3 weeks now.

I've decided to make some progress on my 3DS backlog so I've just started Shin Megami Tensei IV. Also playing Ys Origin on the PS5.

This morning I finished Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind. Weakest out of the 3 FDC games, but still well worth playing.
During the week I started Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Not very far in, I am over a disgusting cut scene. I hope things will brighten up, I don’t like this dark tone.
Also playing:
Picross -LogiartGrimoire-
Hello Kitty Island Adventure
Pokemon Legends Z-A

It's Kalos Go Fest weekend. Will probably do a few quests and raids.

Resident Evil Requiem of course! Very impressed so far with the game, and Switch 2 version. Picked up Pokémon Leafgreen as well and will probably play that a bit as well.

Greetings, good people. Congratulations, we almost made it through the winter. (Looks at the piles of snow higher than my window outside) Almost...

Now onto the games, I'm sure many of you enjoy new Resident Evil while I wait for my physical copy. But even if I got it yesterday, I would still be playing WitchSpring R until I finish it. I mean, I heard it's good, but words won't do it justice. The game introduces you to the most charming, innocent, best daughter in the whole world... and then makes her life miserable very step of the way. Seriously, if in the end Pieberry won't find happiness, I swear I'll <redacted>. Ok, deep breaths...

And I also got true ending in MIO: Memories in Orbit. Very engaging, charming and beautiful metroidvania. Yeah, it's no Silksong. But what is? What's more surprising, that according to the achievements, only 3% of the players finished the game and 2% got the second ending. What is wrong with you people?!

Alright, that's all for today. Love each other and have a great weekend.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined: I like the diorama-esque visuals that allow you to rotate 360° in the overworld; it's more limited in dungeons, true, but still incredibly helpful. It's also really cool to see how your actions in the past affect the present. Not having a massive continent to explore but many islands instead is new to me, but keeps things interesting. Looking forward to many more hours!

I am playing Resident Evil Requiem on switch 2 and I am not regretting getting it over the ps5 version. Especially since I only have the base model and the pro model sounds like it got the better version.

I was supposed to play Resident Evil, but then Raiden Fighters Collection and Kyukyoku TigerHeli were released, so Leon will have to wait. Shump Time!

@Axecon Shakes hands.

Hi fellow Pokemon Go player. Same here. Some raids, some shiny hunts (mainly tons of furfrou to go).

Good luck!

I will continue with Final Fantasy XII (PlayStation 2). This game is so easy to love.

Happy gaming, everyone!

I'll continue with Clair Obscure. The first act is horrible, boring, very ugly... I almost droped it. Luckily, it gets better.

I would love to be playing REquiem, but the Generations Pack that I preordered hasn't arrived yet...

Oh well, I'll be playing some Trails in the Sly 1st and Singalis in the meantime. Not too bad either!

Got my cardboard Virtual Boy yesterday, if I'll find some time that's what I'll play. First impressions: Great to experience a bit of history, glad Nintendo did this. It looks quite strange. Holding the cardboard version comfortably is easier than I thought if you sit in an armchair (one that reclines, even better). Pinball has absurd latency, it's unplayable. Tetris is bad. Wario Ware is surely the game with the most longevity, but it's not Mario quality.

Greetings fellow video game enthusiasts. I'm off to Krakow and I've packed the Switch 2 avec Donkey Kong Bananza. Im finally going to reenact that Switch 1 ad where the guy is playing his Switch on the plane. Hope everyone has a fun weekend/funkend.

I’ve started playing Pokemon LeafGreen for the first time, so I’ll be playing that off and on for the foreseeable future. Now that I’ve beaten Princess Peach Showtime, I can get back to Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. And I’ll play Salmon Run in Splatoon 3 because it has Grizzco weapons and the Triumvirate.

Good question. Switch was intended to be the usual hardware focus until a wild headturner of an OLED offer drew near; Mariko's gradually aging battery (even more hassle to replace by oneself than on 3DS) and last year's annoyingly random HDMI signal tantrums have idly directed my mind towards un upgrade for a while but I didn't expect it to happen right on the eve of the hybrid queen's 9th anniversary, with the ensuing routines from account transfers to a borderline terabyte's worth of redownloads.💀 Some of the previously planned items, from RE0, Wreckfest and Ball x Pit to XC2, Omega Strike and Sakuna are given priority, but the rest, including my go-to franchise menu with its generally sizeable entries, is less realistic for the time being. Oh well, after finishing both Jettomero among native ports and Dr. Mario among emulated stuff, this backlog couldn't claim negligence this week if it tried - and there's still another hybrid machine to indulge in the meantime with items from MK64, Cyberpunk and Palia to Carto, Doom 3 and No Man's Sky. The other backlogs, from New Order, Watch Dogs and Xenosaga to Miracle Cure, VLR and Eternia, might just seize the opportunity for more session time as well.

world of tanks console
fallout 4
the Witcher 3???- not sure yet

why Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined of course...almost 50 hours in now and still enjoying it!

Hello fellow Nintendo Lifers! I am attending a market this weekend with my wife. We are selling her wares there, so I won't have time to play. I am still waiting for my copy of Resident Evil Generations pack to arrive. I got the controller, but there was some sort of problem with the distributor... I hope my copy will arrive soon next week, because I have a week off from work.

I did get the new Resi themed Pro Controller, and it plays so smoothly! I only tried it for a bit with Donkey Kong Bananza and Tears of the Kingdom. I really love how silky smooth it feels!

I may continue on with Pokémon za, the gameplays good but I’m pretty tired of the city already. I’m going for D rank and man, this game feels pretty lazy to me, the city’s not all that big and there’s really not much much to explore at all. I’m glad I got this second hand for cheap, but it’s a disappointing one considering I loved Arceus.

More realistically I’ll play a bit of Overwatch and Mario tennis fever with my daughter, she’s actually better than me at this game. The AI on the championship match in doubles on the last cup was brutal.

Resident Evil Requiem I will pick up at some point for Xbox. It looks phenomenal. So glad it can be played on third person to.

I am playing PS02 New Genesis.

Currently playing Resident Evil Requiem. I taking break from Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition until I finish RE Requiem, Village and 7 then continue Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition plus pop into online matches in Mario Tennis Fever with my friend gamers and public gamers.

My day of gaming and prob in order…Minecraft in like 10 minutes, then shape of dreams with a friend before we play a couple hours of bg3. Almost done. Then back to switch gaming, so either Minecraft/fortnite/ffvii remake. Almost done that as well.
Tomorrow is arc raiders day, but that’s in the evening, the morning is about the same.

Gamers!! Have a good gaming weekends!! 🎮🤗😊⭐👍💜

@Morsel I definitely agree Girl is the weakest FDC. Curious whether you rank Emio or Missing Heir as number 1 though. 🤔

Resident Evil Reqiuem (PC)
Animal Crossing
Guild Wars (PC)
Pokémon LeafGreen
Pokémon Legends Z-A

Playing through Metal Gear Solid 3 on Switch 2 myself, I may be able to finish it up this weekend but I am considering playing through it again to see if I can get a better ranking.

Kung-Fu (NES) as wanted simple fun and Super Mario Land because I freaking love it. I will be playing them on SNES mini as all my hardware and games are boxed away.

I remember getting Super Mario Land on my ninth Christmas in 1990 and when I got to World 2 I started to sing along to the music and to this very day I still do

"You lift me up, but then you put me down again.
You lift me up, but then you put me down again.
I don't know why you have to treat me so,
I love you more than you could ever know.

You tell the truth, but smoother it all in lies.
You tell the truth, but smoother it all in lies.
I don't know why you have to treat me so,
I love you more than you could ever know."

I'll be playing some Animal Crossing: New Horizons for sure as i'm slowly shaping my new island to my liking. I'm having more fun this time around than i had the last time i started all over from scratch.

Other than that i'm also going to be playing a mix of Under the Island which i'm really liking a lot. Nice little adventure and an impressive game.

Then some POOLS where i just finished the first chapter and now am going to explore the second one. Love the atmosphere and the maze like environment.

Perhaps also a session of Baladins that gives me my tabletop RPG fix.

And i'll probably also will dive right back in with some of the games in The Disney Afternoon Collection.

Enjoy your weekend my fellow Nintendo Lifers. I hope you'll have a pleasant one with gaming, some rest and whatever else you have going on.

GRAAAAAACE!

Resident Evil Requiem

Still working through DQ7. Amazing remake IMO.

Tomorrow, a few chores around the house and in the afternoon some NeoGeo AES classics me thinks.

Final Fantasy XIV & World of Warcraft.

Also continuing my soft resets on Firered. I've counted over 705 untill I lost count but I'm fairly certain I'm over 1000 resets already and still nothing.

Continuing with the first MH Stories, it’s an enjoyable game so far but some of these difficulty spikes are brutal.

As my usual, it will be Cyberpunk until I complete it 100%.

@TCKuma I rank Emio first. Might be because that was my first.

@Morsel I rank Emio first as well. It really is just the best in the series.

I picked up my RE Generations Pack yesterday, but no way am I playing those games with my kids around. When the coast is clear, though, I’ll try out either Requiem or maybe 7, since Ollie spoke so highly of it. While that downloads for 3 hours or whatever, I’ll do a few laps in Rave Racer and continue on in UFO 50 while wishing Capcom gave us real, big-boy cartridges for their flagship horror franchise.

Or I may just crank up my NES - I came close to beating Jackal solo last weekend so I may give that another shot.

Whatever I play, I’m happy, as we’re not facing another snowstorm this weekend! 🥳

Wishing everybody fun times and good games this weekend and always! 🕹️💕👾

@DennyCrane
KUNG FU! Such a classic. It was a really fun, quality port of Irem’s arcade game.
Thank you for reminding me I need to add that to my NES “must get” list!

I'll be playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Wii U this weekend. Such a great series!

I started Resi 9 this morning on PS5, and oh my word am I having a blast with it. Giggling with joy at roundhouse kicking with Leon and then chuckling in fear as horrifying things chase me as Grace. The juxtaposition is so much fun. This is peak Resident Evil.

Also started Pokémon Leaf Green on switch last night. Just wonderful to be back. I've replayed the OG gen 1 games many times but never revisited these remakes. It's great to see Kanto and it's native Pokémon depicted in the gorgeous GBA pixel art. I am juggling this alongside my first playthrough of Pokemon Y on 3DS. Playing ZA made me want to see more of Kalos. It's far from my favourite gen, but I am enjoying working through it and building a team of Mons I haven't used before.

A good weekend of games for me! Just a shame I have to work tonight. But Sunday is all mine and I shall be in front of Resi 9 all day.

Hello again, y'all. I don't know what I want to play this weekend anymore. Now that I know the Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen ports add that stupid word filter when they are supposed to be true to the originals, my will to play LeafGreen has taken a massive nosedive. Maybe I'll play Pokémon LeafGreen Version, if I can begrudgingly will myself to play a censored game. Maybe I'll grind some more levels in Dragon Quest XI S. Maybe I'll play some more Super Neptunia RPG. I just don't know, and right now I don't give a crap because I'm really upset. I'll at least play a bit of this:

Animal Crossing New Horizons: I think I'm maybe a week away from affording the final house storage upgrade.

My university’s on spring break all this week, so I would like to take this as an opportunity to start a new game, preferably an RPG. I would like to start either Trails in the Sky 1 (original) or Tales of Vesparia DE. I’m also still grinding Donpa Tickets in Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I still need to get all horns.

@TCKuma Sad that not many people experience them due to the high price. Nintendo is so stubborn.

I’d like to ask @AlexOlney or anyone who’s played the eShop version of Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown if the text size has been improved?

Text in the demo was too small on my 50in TV for me to read from the couch, and even with readers on I don’t know if I could squint hard enough to read it in handheld!

I was hoping the devs would address that in the full release. Especially since their audience is going to be an older demographic!

On Nintendo Switch: (total accumulated hours playing)

ME

• Big Brain Academy: Brain vs Brain: (10 hours)
  Playing everyday "ghosts vs ghosts" february online tournament. I am #92 on rankings! Yesss
• Super Mario Wonder (8 hours)
  Playing more this game. Clicked on me, finally.
• Picross S+ (15 hours)
  Playing some puzzles. I am with 95/150 Picross puzzles 0/150 mega picross completed.

3yo DAUGHTER

• Super Mario Wonder: (45 hours)
  Playing online, almost everyday. Having a lot of fun.
• Super Mario 3D World: (335 hours) - she finally opened the last stage of the game. Wow, its difficult to her. Me and Wife are helping her. Someday we get it.
• Princess Peach Showtime: (50 hours)
  Replaying the levels, and getting more stars.

WIFE
Playing Mario Wonder, Super Mario 3D World with my daughter.

Finally getting back to Radiant Dawn after school stuff held me back.

Pray for my soul as inch ever closer to Blood Contract 😢.

XCX:DE:NS2E - I'll be working my way through Chapter 13 again as a way of enjoying the Switch 2 upgrades while deciding whether I want to start another playthrough (might make a Fiora character as Carina Reeves' voice is the "Classic" female voice.)
Hogwarts Legacy Switch 2 - I'm about to go through Charles Rookwood's trial and move the story forward.
Mario Kart World - Running around in Free Roam and playing Grand Prixes and Knockouts with the family.
Rocket League - Enjoying the Switch 2 updates (though I still wish they'd figure out a 1440p mode for docked and a 1080p/120 fps mode for handheld.) Playing some of the weird new game modes with my son, such as the Egg Ball and G-Force Frenzy modes (though tbh Snow Day is still my all-time favorite game mode).
Might throw something random on too, like NMS:NS2E (exploring the Euclid Galaxy) and Fast Fusion (I'd love some dlc for this game, and a 120 fps mode, but it's still fantastic as-is.)
Have a great weekend and happy gaming (and weekending) everyone! 😎

I hope to keep chopping away at Final Fantasy 8 Remastered (Switch 2). I think I'm finally starting to better understand the whole 'junction' system. Especially remembering to swap out setups when characters change due to whatever's happening in the story. Not sure I dig this system but I give kudos for them trying something different than what FF7 did. Games like this are totally not by bag by a long shot but I'm trying to stay committed to going "off the rails" with my current backlog choice game. I can't deny though I am having some fun so I'm not torturing myself for the hell of it. It's crazy though that I originally hacked at this game 27 years ago when I was in high school only to give it another go now. Ageing sucks!

We have some classic games that were released recently such as Pokemon Fire red/Leaf Green and the Disney Afternoon Collection. While I will be playing Leaf Green I will also be playing a game that unfortunately has not been mentioned on this site, City Hunter. Based off the popular Weekly Shonen Jump series back in the 80’s, the PC Engine game(1990) is now released outside of Japan for the 1st time ever and fully translated. Takes a little to get used to but I like it. Will also be playing Mario Tennis Fever, Animal Crossing(Switch 2) and Fitness Boxing 3. Maybe Rayman 30th Anniversary.

Anyone else open these 'WAYPTW' articles and skip straight down the page to see what Kate recommends? Can't just be me.

For the switch 2, another weekend of Mario Tennis Fever for me.

They weren't kidding when they called Kirby Air Riders "Smash on wheels". The amount of content is impressive, and the QOL features are more so! You can really sense Sakurai's influence on the project. I'm looking forward to playing it more when my friends get Switch 2s in the future

Been having a difficult week but I am just trying to distract myself with some games for now. Resident evil requiem came out which is awesome to play on my switch 2 but I haven’t played 7 and 8 yet and I got the generations pack a friend bought me so I will start with 7 first. Also playing the games below:

Trails in the sky FC remake switch 2 - finished a big scene deep in chapter 2. I think I am towards the end of the chapter. Hope to get to chapter 3 this week.

Cronos the new dawn(switch 2) - game gets harder and harder lol but i made a lot of progress. Don’t know how far I am into the game. Probably halfway.

Final fantasy 7 remake(switch 2) - just got to chapter 12 now.

Happy gaming everyone!

I have yet to return from Korea and highly regret not taking my switch 2 for the flight. So no playing for me, except for World of Goo on my phone (via Netflix games)

Pseudo busy weekend, but there will be some gaming. Still working on my Golden Deer/Verdant Wind Fire Emblem: Three Houses run (chapter 6) and the OG Paper Mario (Wii U VC, chapter 7). I expect to finish the latter very soon.

While I'm VERY tempted to dive into some classic Pokemon this weekend thanks to all the recent news for the franchise's big 3-0, I have enough games going. There are plenty of celebrations going on in both Pokemon TCG Pocket and Pokemon Go that I'm content with. I don't often mention them outside of significant events in PoGo since they're ongoing and usually only played for a few minutes almost daily.

Happy gaming!

My daughter and I completed the story on Fantasy Life, and I was surprised that she was into all the post game content they offer up. Our adventure carries on!

For me, ill probably switch between Cyberpunk and Diablo III... perhaps sprinkle in some more Dead Cells because I feel like any run could be my first completion.

That RE bundle has been looking awfully enticing too.

Resident Evil Requiem on S2 and High on Life 2 on Xbox

A little Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 on PS4. It's no BO1/2 but for co-op vs bots, it's fine. TTK is way too fast and the abilities are totally unnecessary. We only put like 50 hours into the online MP on release, compared to the hundreds we played of MW2 through BO2. Oh CoD, what happened to you?

Otherwise, a friend got a Switch 2 (her first console ever haha) and so we'll be giving island tours on Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Some Steam Next Fest demos. Some Pokemon FireRed. I did my traditional solo-Brock-with-Kakuna fight last night, based on beating him with Kakuna's Struggle attack in my original run all those years back. This one was caught as a Weedle, so I was able to fish for poison and speed up the fight significantly lol.

I bit the bullet and downloaded the Resident Evil Generations pack. I couldn’t resist getting all three games for only $90. Time to be scared out of my mind and enjoy every minute of it.

After an excessive amount of time, approximately 80 hours, I got the platinum for NiOh 3. I’m proud of the accomplishment, but let me state for the record now, and forever more: ***** the final boss.

It is now time to focus on Resident Evil Requiem. I picked up the generation pack that includes 7 & 8 on the Switch 2 since I’ll be traveling extensively the next few weeks. I can’t wait!

Finally finished Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition yesterday (Around 150 hours on the in-game clock). Loved the base game, what an incredible open world to explore with so much to do. Everything up to rolling credits was excellent, even if it didn't quite match up for me with the 1-3 games (my three fave all-time games). I have to say though, I was not a fan of the additional content chapter 13. The structure, the dialogue, the new characters and plot, the tie-in attempts to the rest of the series, it was all quite a big let down for me at least. Ah well. Still had an amazing time for the first 140 hours though!

Starting up my next big game on the backlog, Live A Live. Chosen the Imperial China chapter to start, no idea if there's any best order to play them in, so just chose one and went for it.

I've got Mario Tennis Fever on the go as well (around 10 hours played), I'm about half way through the adventure mode but mostly been playing online without fever rackets.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance (20 hours), recently completed the 7th main story quest "The Prey", and I'm now working on some side quests that I've finally got the time for.

Metroid Dread and loving it. Would be nice to have a switch 2 upgrade for it but great as it is.

If I get time I might also play a little bit of Mario Kart World

I haven't decided if I'm going to play LeafGreen alongside Silksong or wait to finish Silksong before starting it.

But yeah one or both of those games for me this weekend.

Edit: I decided to play both simultaneously. Started LeafGreen earlier. I felt like I would rush through Silksong if I decided to do LeafGreen afterwards since I'm in a Pokemon mood after the Gen 10 reveal.

Been giving Viewtiful Joe a try for the first time and MAN is it fun. The first level is pretty damn hard though. but more managable on level 2.

Pro tip, emphasize the VFX meter booster and the dive kick as soon as you get to the move shop. You'll thank me later

This weekend my mum is visiting. We like to play scary or cute games together. She thought Planet of Lana looked nice so we started that yesterday. We'll also try to finish Silent Hill 2. Next up maybe some Resident Evil game? We only played Village before.

This weekend will have Mario platforming and Disney magic for me. 🍄✨ I'll be playing...

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Getting more stars as usual - still enjoying my replaythrough on the Switch.

Disney Dreamlight Valley - I just unlocked the WALL-E realm and I'll try to do some quests in it. Hopefully I'll also unlock realms for my favorite Disney classics, as well! While the Switch version is still a little iffy, it does play a little better on Switch 2. I noticed the load times are faster now. Can't wait for the Switch 2 upgrade, lol.

The Disney Afternoon Collection - I got this collection recently and I've been enjoying it. I remember watching Disney Channel when I was little, so it makes perfect sense for me to get it! I'm currently working on DuckTales. (Woo-ooo!)

I might play one or more other games this weekend, but haven't decided yet. I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Be good, and happy gaming.

My main game will be Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD Remake, with some time with my girls playing TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. I have to say, I remember being pretty floored at the time about how big DQ was (this was the NES days), and while they did add some stuff, it still feels ambitious.

I know these days expansive games sometimes feel more like "content" than fun, so I have to wonder how collecting crystals/stones/in-universe MacGuffins could not wear out it's welcome the way a 100 hour slog does now. I think that was really the proto-episodic plot feed that started it all, so maybe that's part of how the open world kind of loses that thread. Obviously part of this is that fun hadn't really been invented yet, as you kids may know from hearing us cranky old timers talk.

Happy gaming everyone!

Another weekend, another visit to Lumoise City! Still working through the main story, probably about halfway through while doing lots of side quests and wild zones along the way. That will probably be my main focus, but if I need some variety, I might do some of the skill challenges in Mario Tennis Fever. Lastly, getting excited for Slay the Spire 2 coming out next week! Hope everyone has a happy gaming weekend, especially everyone playing the new RE!

Probably going to continue the grind on Mario Tennis Fever for all 5 medals. Those trial towers can be a handful sometimes.

@Teksette It is a lot of fun, very simple, but fun none the less. It was amongst the first NES games I got, so I will always have a soft spot for it

RESIDENT EVIL REQUIEM BABY!
Big up to those doing the same, and happy gaming to everyone else.
Itchy. Tasty.

I an gonna be playing what the rest of people will be playing, without even seeing the comments!

Playing through Resident Evil Requiem and wow I'm very impressed by the port of this game. Capcom has done a fantastic job, it looks and plays great on Switch 2. The segments with Grace feel intense and having Leon use a chainsaw against zombies is so fun.

I also might start Pokemon Leaf Green too. Being a Gen 1 Pokemon fan I couldn't resist the nostalgia and ended up buying the Switch version.

Hollow Knight NS2 version. FINALLY beat the Trial of the Fool, now at 107% completion. WISH I was playing RE Requiem but I can’t afford it right now. I will get it though, promise @Capcom 😆

Tonight, the Spearess and I are going out for dinner, so I'll just continue with my schedule of alternating between:

Civilization VI (Still on the Trajan/Roman Empire revenge tour. Late game is here, and I need a boost. Unfortunately, the only way there may be to take advantage of France, which is in a Dark Age and has a nearly depleted military. Time to roll up the sleeves!;

Balatro (Won four more times on Gold stake last night.);

Cast n Chill (I think I need seven or so fish to finish up. I’ve finished the log book for almost every fish I’ve caught, so I’m very close to completion, save for a few achievements.);

SteamWorld Dig (I started this on Wii U many years ago but got sidetracked. Went back last week but hit the dreaded Wii U memory error. So I'm back into it on Switch and maybe 30 percent back to where I left off.;

SnowRunner (Just got into this about a week ago. I finished the Old Bridge Restoration mission in Michigan and found the garage. Now it's on to Alaska.;

Bejeweled Twist (One of my favorite DS games. I'm slowly building toward 100 million in Zen mode, adding a couple million a week in what I expect to be a yearlong project. Currently past 15 million.

Happy gaming, everyone!

I just beat Marvel Spiderman on PS5 2 or 3 days ago, & I beat the first DLC last night, so I'm working on the 2nd DLC now.

I got Pokemon Leaf Green and my kids got Pokemon Fire Red, so we've been playing those a ton! I'm really hoping they do they same thing with Ruby/Sapphire down the road.

I'm also still playing Fantasian NEO Dimension as well, along with beating Ganbare Goemon (Super Famicom, aka The Legend of the Mystical Ninja SNES) co-op with my 9yr-old.

I'm currently playing Pokemon Fire Red, I'm not that far into it, just made it past Brock, and building my team up. I'm going to be taking my time with this one, so I have something to play until Pokemon Pokopia releases.

@Divide_and_Wander hey, good job finishing fantasy life, how long did it take? I am about 10 hours in, and it feels like I am only getting started.

Fantasy life i, Grid Legends, Symphonia and Rocket League.

Happy gaming everyone!

Finished God of War: Chains of Olympus (was good but not as great as OG) & started RE9. LETS GO!

Caves of Qud. I haven’t swooned over a game this hard since getting The Legend of Zelda on my 7th birthday in ‘87. I know, I know - it’s not a looker, its UI is utterly labyrinthine at first, and patience isn’t exactly a tantalizing pastime these days, but I’m seriously in utopia right now - I never thought I’d recapture the high of my first Zelda hit, but here we are, and I’ve scarcely even scratched the surface of what the game has to offer.

Age of imprisonment and cyberpunk 2077 nearly done with dogtown but man the quests really hits hard especially the so mi one where i was torn to either spare her or kill her but at the end i chose to help her be free from all the suffering she been through since tapping into the blackwall took its toll on her plus didnt want her to be used by the corrupt nusa leader myers.

Finally back to my full Resident Evil series playthrough, filling in the few in the series I hadn’t played, thanks to RE9’s release renewing my interest. This weekend is Resident Evil 0.

Looks like Resident Evil is getting lots of love this weekend, but I've got a backlog to attend to!

Continuing to enjoy the wacky, uncomfortable Virtual Boy cardboard experience in short bursts. I'm trying to get the hang of Red Alarm rn, which I've found challenging and antiquated but worthwhile.

Otherwise it's a lot of MyGM on WWE 2K25.

And also CrossCode - an excellent, challenging, modern take on a 16/32-bit-era action RPG. I put this one down for a long time after getting about halfway through, but it feels good to get back to it!

@dugan - as of this morning, 83 hours, haha. We definitely took the path less traveled, plus my daughter is only 6, so getting around takes a bit longer.

@Duncanballs it’s superb. I love the whole future/past mechanic. No two islands work the same. There’s so many chests I still want to unlock that I can’t.

@Divide_and_Wander Okay, I am just getting started. 😊. Good job finishing the story!

I'm tempted to get RE9 but I don't have a decent way to play ot except for handheld on Switch 2 and that doesn't seem right for am AAA horror game. So it will probably be just more Monster Train 2 for me.

At the moment FireRed mostly, probably either get to Requiem or get back to Death Match Love Comedy when I hit the credits.

This week I played:

• Resident Evil (8) Village (PS5): Game completed. Amazing game.
• Resident Evil (9) Requiem (PS5): Reached the basement.
• Metroid Prime 4 Beyond (Switch): Volt Forge: Tower 2 activated. The VI-O-La Suit looks so good.
• Megaman Battle Network 3 (MMBN Legacy Collection Vol. 1, Switch): Plant Man defeated. Battle Chips: Standard 116/200. Mega 20/85. Giga 2/20.

Happy weekend & gaming everyone!!!

Well.. I can't seem to catch a break to actually use the Switch 2, as my son is absolutely loving RE: Requiem, so I'm going to finish up Neversong which is a creepy little platformer. Some say metroidvania, but it's not. I finished Mable and the Wood last weekend, but there are multiple endings, none of which on Youtube, so I'm debating.

Also playing Root Film which is a real solid VN. And on PS5 (because library didn't have the Switch version) I'm playing Hercule Poirot: The London Case. Really enjoying these games overall.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion with the kids. It's a blast. So funny to hear the tough guys quips my seven year old comes up with. And Cosmic Ghost Rider is so rad.
Micro Mages and Turrican on the Evercade. Get a Super Pocket! They're wonderful!

Really loving BlazBlue Entropy Effect X at the moment. Combat is great and I love the complexity and depth possible re: customization for your runs.

@FishyS I noticed too we have some overlapping games.
Although I wonder what happened to Fantasy Life i (which I loved and have 125 hours in) and Age of Imprisonment (which I love not that much yet), you played those very shortly.

This Weekend I have been playing just the 2 games.

Final Fantasy Remake on the Switch 2. And Halo Infinite on the Series X.

Happy gaming everyone.

Never was able to score a Gameboy Player back in the day, so I'm living the dream now with FireRed on the Switch.

Besides reliving my youth in Kanto (hopefully with different 'Mons on my team), I'm helping the Wind Fish out of a bind with Link's Awakening for my green Gameboy Pocket, doing a bunch of fishing in Rune Factory 3 for the DS, and I might get all topsy turvy with Yoshi for the GBA.

Have a good one, folks.

@WiltonRoots I'm trying to make mental notes of points of interest to go back to ..... I thought the rinse repeat would get repetitive of the time travel but its really opened up in some plot points. Its a fantastic game.

Makes that rumoured remake of Chrono Trigger even more enticing. DQ8 would be most welcomed also.

More SUPER KIRBY CLASH. 😁
Enjoy the rest of your weekend all!

@Duncanballs oh man, there’s some islands where the people are absolute idiots, one where they rewrote history and I sat there going “tossers!” 😆 (albeit a stronger version of the word) yet there’s still an overriding arc which sits in the background throughout the whole game.

@Tasuki wish I could still play Forza 2! Missed my chance before it was delisted off Steam.

@Grumblevolcano I just finished MH2 and yes, it has some rough difficulty jumps too!

I will be playing mainly 3DS couple of games and probably my Wii U as my projector has been sent in for repair.

And just like that, I'm suddenly interested in Pokopia. 😅
