Topic: What Game(s) are You Currently Playing?

Trials of Mana. Have to start over because I didn’t realize I already owned it on switch. At least I was only in chapter 3.

Echoes of Wisdom. I only have about three more temples to go before I beat the game.

Now that I have beaten The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, I will continue my journey in Fire Emblem Engage, which I started a few days before Zelda released. I like it. The gameplay is fun and Somniel is a very nice place. It is one of those games, which make me want to become a shining prince.

I've been insanely busy lately, so not a lot of gaming time. Conversely, this weekend is thankfully somewhat relaxed. Currently working on:

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Two dungeons finished, along with a mini dungeon. I'm enjoying my time with the game even if I haven't managed to play since Monday. Great characters, neat locales, and an interesting - albeit somewhat predictable - plot so far. I like the visuals even if the frame rate stutters are a tad noticeable at times (mostly in Hyrule Castle Town). I've also accumulated enough Echoes to where it sometimes takes awhile to find what I want...even with the sort function. Today's featured article laid out this issue pretty well.

Ys Seven (PC) - This was sidelined last weekend thanks to the above, but I think I'm about halfway through. Adol & co. are currently on Ruins Island where I'm trying to figure out what to do next in this aquatic-themed dungeon. I'll be honest...I can't say I'm liking the game as much as I thought I would, though it's a far cry from bad. Compared to the other Ys games I've played that use the party setup - Ys VIII and Ys: Memories of Celceta - it's clear this game was the first to make use of this mechanic after switching from the Napishtim engine. Combat is at a faster pace now that I'm past a certain point. There are some endearing characters and the occasional interesting plot tidbit, but the game feels...sort of generic so far. BUT!....As this is Ys, something could turn around soon. Maybe. I'm sticking it out for now.

Edit: Well, that escalated quickly. Maybe Adol's adventure WILL get more interesting from here on out....

@remotecat25 Have you played any other Kirby games? How far are you in Dragon Quest XI now? I played Dragon Quest XI, but I only got 5 party members as for Kirby I've played every single one, and beaten all of them.

After getting 100 percent on Kirby 64 and Forgotten Land, Funpack, and Kirby 3, I needed more Kirby!
I picked up the Amazing Mirror again (NSO), which I last played a year ago and gave up on, and now I really love it. Went from about 18 percent to 40 percent complete in a day. I don't know why I hated it so much first time around. I think I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to play. I was fed up of going in circles. Now that I understand it, with the sparkling doors meaning you have not gone in them yet, it is a lot more fun. It is very addictive. I keep saying "Just one more new door...". I also really like how fast paced it is. It is also a little harder than average Kirby games, with you losing your ability after one shot, and many enemies needing more than 1 hit.

Playing these 3 for the last week. But damn, Medabots is the most addictive of the 3

YouTubers Life 2 PS4 on PS5.
I have reached Diamond Rank YouTuber level (getting more than 1M subscribers) and have set the five NFT tokens to continue the storyline. I just need to get number 1 YouTuber position then I will get Gold Drone as the reward to finish the storyline.

I'm playing Pizza Tower, aka Wario Land 6. (5? Is Shake It a numbered sequel or not?) This is absolutely a game I'm gonna beat normally and then try to see if I have the patience to even attempt to get close to a 100% run.

It's kinda funny, that last Shovel Knight campaign was clearly inspired by Wario Land 1, so now we have games inspired by the latter games. Waiting to see if we get a Wario Land 2/3 indie revival next. Or maybe even a Wario World inspired indie game, that'd be cool.

Borderlands 3 (Series X)

Diablo IV (PC)

Castlevania Portrait of Ruin (Switch)

I'm playing Grapple Dog on Switch.
After finishing DKC: Tropical Freeze 100% last month, I wanted a light and easy 2D platformer, but I didn't think the time trials of Grapple Dogs' levels would be so...
Well, I got 100% on the first two worlds, wish me luck (and patience, mainly).

@Mana_Knight That's cool, but what's Kirby Funpack? Never heard of it. Still that's impressive. How many Kirby's have you 100%?

@AstralRedStar705 Kirby Super Star was known as Kirby's Fun Pak in PAL regions such as Europe.

@MarioVillager92 Yep. That is what it will always be me for me! Got it on my 9th Birthday. It had a pink box as opposed to the black one for Superstar. A very special game to me.

@AstralRedStar705 Aside from the ones I mentioned, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land for the GBA is another. I can't recall if Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby Adventure have percentage gauges, but I've beaten them a few times. Other titles, like Kirby Pinball and Kirby's Ghost Trap (Avalanche), I don't believe have percentage gauges. I've never beaten Kirby's Dream Course, the golf one, as I just can't get the hang of the controls.

I never had a DS/3DS, so there are quite a few there that I have never played. Hope that they might make their way somehow to Switch/Switch 2.

I'd also like to get Star Allies and Deluxe for the Switch at some point. Maybe even Fighters 2!

What about you?

Ash Vs. Evil Dead is out 18th Oct, but not on UK Nintendo E-shop yet.
I have e-mailed Retro Realms to see if they know when it will be out.

Bruce Campbell is my favourite actor .

@Mana_Knight Oh that's awesome, glad you got that as a birthday present. It's a dang good game for sure. I didn't play Kirby Super Star until much later, surprisingly enough, but I did like Kirby 64 when I got that as a kid. That was the first Kirby game that I've played.

@MarioVillager92 A damn fine one to start on! My first was Kirby's Dreamland on GB, which I think Is why I love 'Spring Breeze' in Kirby Fun Pack so much. Just a nice colourful remake of that.

Been going more retro recently. Currently playing Goldeneye through NSO before my sub expires in a few weeks. It’s very good (controls are inverted when aiming which isn’t fun) and it feels like Metal Gear Solid but in first person which is neato
