@1UP_MARIO
Here is another thing about me.
I prefer 3rd party games than 1st party games, even from both Nintendo and Sony, so my collections are dominated by a lot of 3rd party games than 1st party games as the 3rd party games I picked have more appeal for me.

Speaking about Mario games, I have some of them from your photo (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Tennis Aces, Mario + Rabbids, Super Mario Odyssey). Unfortunately, I have sold Mario 3D All Stars as I felt disappointed by Mario Sunshine with terrible control schemes for FLUDD and I was thinking Ratchet & Clank games have much better weapon aiming control schemes. I tried the game for several minutes and stopped playing right after I felt frustrated by FLUDD control to clean up the mess on the island. Mario Sunshine was not the game for me.
I'm not really hyped with Mario games to be honest despite I like to buy some of them as my impression has been built from 3rd party games quality by the most.

Speaking about 1st party from Sony, surprisingly I have ALL Ratchet & Clank games on PS3 including the Trilogy remastered from PS2 + Deadlock, Size Matters PS2 + Secret Agent Clank PSP + Ratchet & Clank PS4 version. I will try to get Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PS5 and PlayStation Move Heroes PS3 to complete all Ratchet & Clank games on PlayStation machines.
Here is my Ratchet & Clank games I have so far.

Well, I still a PlayStation gamer despite I like Nintendo games too.

@Anti-Matter nice. I like PlayStation too I still have 2/3/4 psp. It’s my fifa and rocket league machine and also street fighter

I would not call myself a PlayStation gamer or Nintendo gamer. I just enjoy playing games

@Themagusx1 Thank you as well.

@MarioLover92 Thanks. It'll get better with time, it'll just be weird to not have him around when I've been used to his presence at family events for as long as I can remember.

I'd like to try playing in a World of Darkness setting since there are several different campaign types outside of the ones I mentioned, though I believe those two along with the Mage type are the most popular. D&D is fun, there are a lot of rules and dice rolling, but the experience is almost unique per group depending on the makeup and how the DM calls certain rules...and that's not even getting into house rules. It can take some time to draw up a character, usually about an hour or more. There's plenty of material out there to help out! You should really try out Clue (I believe it's called Cluedo in the UK?) if you're into murder mysteries and whodunnit settings. I like nontraditional card games like Uno and Cards Against Humanity too.

I'm not sure on the Battle Network games....I'm honestly surprised Capcom hasn't released a collection for them yet. I have the first two on Wii U VC since I missed them back in the day, but I own at least one version of the remaining four. I'd say bide your time a bit longer, then jump on them all before the eShop closure if we haven't heard anything by then.

@Tyranexx Sorry about your loss.

@MarioLover92 If you want to share a pic you can.

That sounds like a really cool tin. I don't know where it is, but I think one Valentine's Day, mom gave me a heart shaped tin, it had Peach kissing Mario. I can't remember where I placed it though.

Oh ok, I think what I have is just a typical doll from the store. The way it's set up in the package, it just looks good as is.

Pretty much what I do with games. I usually just play what I like. Whether it's a Sonic game, a Mario game, a game based off a cartoon I like, a retro game, even some mainstream games (I do enjoy the occasional game of Apex).

@Tyranexx You're very welcome. Ohhh, gotcha, so it is quite involved from what I could gather. Glad to hear there's a lot of helping material out there - I'm gonna need them, lol! Clue does sound interesting for sure, I would like to give that a shot sometime. My mom's been into crime and detective shows last I knew, too.

Sounds like a good plan, I think I'll do just that. I'd love to have the MMBN games on the Switch, especially. My eShop balance can be used across my 3DS, Wii U, and Switch, so I should be good to go before the 3DS and Wii U eShops get sucked into oblivion next year.

@Sunsy Oh that sounds cute for sure. Hopefully, it'll turn up soon. Gotcha - that's still cool! I'll be sure to get pics when I get a chance. Though as of this post, it's real late and I'm gonna be heading to bed soon.

I'm pretty much the same way with games, I typically play whichever game I'm most in the mood for. I found myself playing Mario Kart quite a lot these days, with occasional sessions of Tetris Effect Connected. They're good games to play when I can't think of what I wanna play next, as well. lol

Made another cover; if you like Doki Doki Literature Club you're in for a treat.

I have a while bad urge to go and get Pokemon Go purely because of him.

A quick question then to any Go afficionados here: is there a way currently to get Meltan or even shiny Meltan? If so, I might just bite the bullet on Go since it also connects to HOME.

this game has my attention a lot for some reason

Bizarre day. After eating some Asian food on Saturday I ended up spending two days with hives, feeling restless and eternally itchy, until I had a bath and took some medication… today. And somehow I didn’t realise for two whole days.

Don’t get hives. They’re very irritating.

@Fizza to get Meltan you just need to transfer any Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Let’s Go or Home, that will give the Mysterious Box item, which when opened will attract Meltans for about an hour I think.

Once used, it can be recharged by doing another transfer and waiting a few days, to use it again.

Since you need 400 candy to evolve it, capturing all the Meltan with pinap berries is recommended. It’s also important to remember that it can only be evolved in Go.

I’m not sure if it can be caught as shiny currently. It’s usually limited to special periods of time. Of course you’ll need two if you want the shiny pair.

Anybody feel overwhelmed by all the farming games out now and coming soon (It's a lot)

@korosanbo some are quite pretty and cosy looking (in other words, looks cool just not for me), and yea a lot of options

@korosanbo I can't wait for it to come out!!!!!!! Looks soo good!!!

@Fizza my summoning circle is ready #7 #AceAttorney

@Kermit1 Mine's been ready for a LONG while. If they were to do an AA announcement though, it would be a crime not to have another trilogy for the sequels so that we could get caught up before a brand new entry.

@Fizza #Pepsi-Can-Circle

@Fizza Random side note: Meltan reminds me so much of the aliens from the DS game Meteos. I really wish that game got a rerelease/remaster with online, it was so fun.

A chaotic and unseasonably hot Monday. In fact, it's supposed to be crazy hot for the next week at least with heat indices into the 100-110s (F). While temps like this aren't unheard of for my neck of the woods, it's unusual this early in the summer.

@Sunsy Thank you. It's been a crazy week, but I'm gradually bouncing back.

@MarioLover92 Oh yes, there's a ton of material out there, in official, Kickstarter, and homebrew settings. We're following the fifth edition (5e) rules outside of the house ones. There are so many companion books for about every general topic you can imagine. As for Clue, it's a fun game and (usually) doesn't take nearly as long as some games like Monopoly.

The eShop closures make me really happy that I shared my account balances across the three systems (or my Nintendo account) years ago for simplicity. I love the RPG and combat elements from the Battle Network and Star Force series, and I suspect I'd like Legends as well.

Tactics Ogre Reborn has been spotted on PSN ... There's a few fans of that series around here, right?

@BruceCM not sure I've played it, but I believe I have heard of it before 😃
