Finished Metroid Zero Mission (GBA) this past week and what an amazing game it was. One of the best Metroid games in my opinion, even if it was a bit short.

Will work toward completing Chapter 9 of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (NS) , solving the case in Emio: The Smiling Man (NS) , and leaving the first town in Golden Sun (GBA). Happy gaming!

Wouldn’t miss it and cannot wait.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Chapter 8, NS), Etrian Odyssey II (Floor 9, DS), Final Fantasy III (DS), and Metroid Zero Mission (GBA).

The last game has been quite a surprise and easily one of the best Metroid games I’ve played. Looking forward to picking up Fusion afterward. Happy gaming!

Beat Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, but only had enough money to get a dead tree as a palace… so have quite a few more treasures to hunt.

Discovered Etrian Odyssey II (DS) and was immediately hooked. What a cozy and punishing game. Will also continue to play Metroid Zero Mission (GBA). Happy gaming!

Just beat Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (DS) - what a fantastic game! I was unsure about the divided stages until reaching the last. Great music as well. 10/10

Relaxing with Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (Chapter 2, DS), Golden Sun (Just started, GBA), and more Wario Land (4th world, GB). On switch playing SMTVV (currently in the middle of the 2nd area). Happy gaming!

Beat Persona 4 Golden without knowing that there was another ending to achieve. Going to push of new game + for a while.

This weekend I plan to play Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia (DS), Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (GB), and SMTV:V (NS). Happy gaming!

@RiasGremory Totally agree with you on this.

This is a nice ad for LRG though…

Beat the original Dragon Quest (bit of a grind) and continued Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Will push forward on the latter along with continuing my Persona 4 Golden playthrough (currently near the end of January).

Also plan to play some Wario Land on the virtual boy in between. Happy gaming!

Decided to pick up the original Dragon Quest after beating Star Ocean: First Departure R (retro kick).

Will also play some Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Chapter 8). Also picked up a Virtual Boy, so will play some Mario Tennis in between. Happy gaming!

Really hooked on Star Ocean: First Departure R (maybe 11 hours or so in). Fun game with a lot of nostalgia feelings.

I’m also at the end of chapter 8 on Paper Mario TTYD. Good game, but I didn’t feel like it offered much more than Paper Mario (N64), which was a tighter game.

Lastly, putting some more time into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Chapter 8). Happy gaming!

Sad news. Definitely not my favorite magazine, but a staple in the industry.

I usually end up shoving this free stuff in a drawer or giving it to my kids. Not enticing enough to switch preorders.

Beat Metroid Samus Returns (3DS) at 100% last weekend. Excellent Metroid game.

Picked up Star Ocean: First Departure R and was hooked by nostalgia. Will mix in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Chapter 8) and Paper Mario TTYD (Chapter 7). Happy gaming!

Absolutely amazing and creative

Very close to beating Metroid: Samus Returns (3ds), so will focus on that. Also playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Chapter 7) and Paper Mario TTYD (Chapter 7). Happy gaming!

Focusing on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - which is amazing to explore. Also playing Paper Mario TTYD and Metroid Samus Returns (3DS) whenever it feels right. Happy gaming!

Saving my money.

Great sales numbers for Mario Kart. Population has grown a few billion since the NES days, so not sure what to take from this comparison.

I’ve been playing both Paper Mario (N64) and Paper Mario TTYD up to chapter 5 and found the former to be more interesting. I’ll stick with that and revisit my 40h file of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and work in some Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS). Happy gaming!

Almost forgot- beat Fire Emblem Engage on hard after about 75 h. Great gameplay, with mediocre writing.

Beat SMT IV (3DS) last weekend - amazing game! Fire Emblem Engage (Chapter 25) and Metroid Samus Returns (3DS) this weekend. Happy gaming!

Paper Mario (Chapter 6, N64), Fire Emblem Engage (Chapter 21), and SMT IV (3DS). The last one will for sure be completed this weekend and then maybe add SMT V: Vengeance. Happy gaming!

SMT IV (3DS) AND SMT V Vengeance (NS)! Great weekend! Will add in some Fire Emblem Engage (currently on Chapter 20). Happy gaming!

Getting close to the end of SMT IV(3DS) [maybe??]. Finally beat the 17th chapter of Fire Emblem Engage after taking half of a year off. Lastly, just finished chapter 4 on Paper Mario TTYD and will try to complete the next. For some reason I also started Paper Mario (N64) a week before TTYD’s release, so may be tempted to play through chapter 6 in that as well.

Paper Mario: TTYD - currently on Chapter 3 and thus far like the original Paper Mario a bit more.

Adding some more SMT IV (3DS) and Persona 4 (NS). I’m about 45 hours into the latter after having spent time with Persona 3: Reload (PS5). Decided to stick with completing P4 for now as P3 hasn’t grabbed me yet.

@Denoloco Either of the Fatal Frame games are worth checking out.

Just beat Super Mario Land and also moments away from the end of Rain Code (it does get better story wise despite the constant loading).

Playing Paper Mario TTYD (NS) and SMT IV (3DS) this weekend. Possibly adding Unicorn Overlord (NS) if the urge arises. Should be fun!

Preordered and excited to play it for the first time

Great review and I’m excited to play the game!

@Ironcore - Interesting photos. I’ve never personally perceived any 30 fps games to have this ghosting/blur effect.

Beat Super Mario RPG, which was excellent.
Playing SMTIV (3DS) and Rain Code (NS). With the latter I feel too much time is spent in loading screens, breaking immersion. May start Persona 5 Strikers as well.

SMTIV on 3DS; Persona 3 Reloaded on PS5; Super Mario RPG on Switch. All great games

More SMT IV + Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Both games are great.

Maybe halfway through Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Really prefer the job system vs anything I’ve seen in Fire Emblem.

Medusa beat me down in SMT IV, and I’ll exact my revenge sometime this weekend.

Lazy corporate jargon.

Playing Final Fantasy Tactics: Grimoire Rift A2 (DS) and SMT IV (DS). Both are fantastic games.

Maybe I’ll bounce back to Rain Code, but the linear labyrinths drag on in my experience.

Finished Chapter 1 on Rain Code - really liking the story, but this is one of the rare times that a game’s performance has caught my attention. Way too many loading screens break things up.

Will also be enjoying some Pikmin 4 and facing the final boss on Xenoblade Chronicles DE (can’t decide whether to pursue more side quests).

Excellent game all around. An upgrade to BOTW in every way.

@somnambulance

And then save 50-60 bucks for each package purchase afterwards.

Rain Code, Xenoblade Chronicles, and some Warioware to break things up!

Beat TOTK and now on to Rain Code! The former is absolutely amazing.

TOTK - 80 hours in and still exploring!

Will try to finish Mega Man Battle Network as well.

Still slowly making my way through TOTK and enjoying every second of it. Playing some Mega Man Battle Network on the side.
