Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, currently free on NSO. Enjoying it more than my games in progress, let’s see if I can finish it till Thursday.

I managed to 100% Princess Peach, it was a nice challenge (took 25 hours if anyone interested). It was a perfect game for me, great visuals, audio, even the joycon vibrations were very well worked out. Every Nintendo fan should experience it!
Now I have P4G, Dragon Quest Monsters, Metal Gear Solid in progress, I will play those to decide, which one to finish first. They are not bad, but I don’t like any of them as much as I thought I would.

Happy for Princess Peach, we need more games like this. Probably it will be the GotY for me.

I bought Princess Peach for the long weekend (4 days where I live), I’ve set every other game aside to play it. I love it, it’s gorgeous, it reminds me on the Disney park shows. Also it’s the Live-a-live of the Nintendo action games. Probably will finish the base game today, then going for 100%, which seems not to be that easy and obvious.

@-wc- I remember playing Super Mario 1 and 3 on SNES in winter in a quite cold room, and ice cold sweat flowing down on my body when fighting Bowser. I do not miss that kind of difficulty.

@JRiegler You are right. And “Climb to the beat” was completed by a nice colleague.

I plan to buy it for the next (long) weekend. I don’t mind if people deem it easy - Wonder was a pain for me to (almost) 100%. I enjoyed the demo very much.

Metal Gear Solid: seems to be the main game for the weekend. Standing before Sniper Wolf. Great game, just a bit hard for me.
Portal: not much left, I already know that the cake is a lie, would be great to finish.
Dragon Quest Monsters: 8 hours in. Objectively not an exceptional game, but I like the music and the art style, and helps me relax.

I don’t get how long is this game. A review says “over 50 levels”, which would mean 25-50 hours for me to 100% based on the demo levels. Where is my calculation failing?

I have too many games ongoing, but a 3 day weekend, so trying to progress with some.
Portal: in the 18th chamber, so might finish this weekend.
Metal Gear Solid: started yesterday and defeated the 1st boss. Playing on easy, but still too hard for me. I know what I should do, but cannot submit my will properly. This is the type of game I would rather watch someone else playing.
Persona 4G: progressing slowly, somehow is not hooking me as P5R did.
Thinking on starting Dragon Quest Monsters, but really should finish something before.
This is not a good year for me, I cannot find the same joy in gaming as last years due to the problems at home. I just don’t have enough energy. Rather lying and doing nothing or sleeping when I could play or read. And then I’m stressed about not using my free time efficiently.

I’ve been playing Ghost Trick during the week, not much left, now I’m in the last chapter. After finishing, I will play the 2nd level of the Princess Peach demo. If the full game had like 40 of these levels, I would consider buying. After that I’ll continue Persona 4 Golden. I’m already missing the girls and guys . Also eyeing with Metal Gear Solid on sale, but that will be rather for later.

These days Persona 4 Golden is my main game, so I should progress with that, but yesterday I bought and started Ghost Trick, so probably I’ll play that this weekend and beyond. Seems to be longer than expected (which is good), maybe because I’m not clever enough (which is bad).

I’m usually playing offline and still getting the birthday presents, so even those do not require online. Online is needed for new DLC notifications and online play.

During the week I finished Pikmin 3 story mode and side quests, and I don’t feel like going for 100% now. After Pikmin 4 this game feels very thin. I wanted to go for sure, so started Persona 4 Golden, finally a game I really enjoy!

@imadeanaccount Lack of story and difficulty. Started on normal (but later on was not much better on casual) was dying frequently, losing a lot of progress, althogh went for weakness and criticals. MP depleting quickly. Before boss I had to grind, but not enough mobs to grind on and no variety. Not enough side quests. Still boss was fun.
Before this I completed FE Engage so I am really resistent to design errors, but this game was too much.

After giving up on SMTV I started 2 games: Portal 1 and Pikmin 3. In Portal I’m in the 16th chamber. The game reminds me on the shrines of BotW and TotK. In Pikmin 3 I’m in the 4th area of the story mode. Playing these and Picross. Taking a break from Theatrhythm, I have my fill on that for now and my joints hurt badly on higher difficulties.

@Anti-Matter Finally you are back! I was missing your comments on the what-are-you-playing-this-weekend posts.

I keep trying, but somehow cannot get into Shin Megami Tensei V. Might drop it, there are so many good games to play instead of suffering with this. Besides the usual Theatrhythm, going for the last 3 stars and last achievement. And Another Code DS, in the 6th chapter, so it can end any minute now. What an amazing little machine the DS was!

During the week I finished FE Engage. Today I finished Zelda the Minish Cap, was already in the last dungeon, and played some Theathrythm, filling critical charts. Already put in the cartridge of Shin Megami Tensei V. Played a few hours when it was new, but I decided to restart.

It seems full normality will “never” come back to my family, but at least now I can find time and place to rest and play. I’ll try to focus on one game until I finish: FE Engage, starting chapter 21.

@Teksetter My condolences. I was thinking on you during the week.

My real world problems haven’t solved yet, so no games with time commitment. A bit of Picross and Vampire Survivors. Maybe continue Another Code DS which I started some weeks ago but set aside.

I never sell and rarely buy. I bought last year my 1st used cartridge, as the game was not sold as new anymore, and it was the 1st time I got the error message Switch cannot read the cartridge. What are people doing with it?

@larryisaman @Teksetter @gaga64
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ thank you all!
Teksetter, I wish you strength to bear with that terrible situation.

@Poodlestargenerica This is great news for me, because this means the next “Switch” will be portable too. My only option to play has been portable for quite some years now.

Nothing this week. My mother came back from hospital bedridden, probably forever, my life is upside down, no clue how to solve this problem on longer term. No real support for this situation in my country.

My main game is Fire Emblem Engage, in chapter 17. Story starting to be interesting, just in time.
Still not finished Zelda the Minish Cap, probably will not this weekend.
Today I was moving my old games to another place in the room and realized I have Another Code for DS, didn’t even remember! Maybe giving it a try, and I’m curious how far I got back then.
And the usual Picross and Theatrhythm.

@-wc- I bought it at launch, but played it only some years ago. As I could play only in single player, I suspect lot of the fun was lost, and the whole game felt like a chore.

Ghost Trick 10/10 is not on the list, but also on sale.

@JohnnyMind You are finishing a lot of games at the same time. I wonder will you pick up that many for the next year too or stick to the unfinished rest now.

Playing Fire Emblem Engage, in chapter 12. In the first few chapters I was on the fence, but now I’m completely hooked, this is an amazing game.
Not much left from Zelda the Minish Cap, should finish soon to not lose momentum.
Also playing some Picross and Theatrhythm.

Finally started Fire Emblem Engage, I’m in chapter 5, I will play this mostly this weekend and during the holidays. I also plan to progress with Zelda the Minish Cap, already in the clouds, and play some Picross and Theatrhythm.

This was a great year, ToTK, Pikmin 4, Theatrythm, Xenoblade 3 DLC, Paranormasight all 10/10 for me, but also enjoyed both Mario games. FE Engage is still in backlog.

@imadeanaccount @Ooyah Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.

After the Thursday’s funeral of my best friend yesterday my mother got to hospial, so neither mood nor time to play big games. So some Picross and Tetris 99.
To tell something more cheerful, during the week I downloaded the latest patch to Sonic Frontiers, and so I could complete the DLC boss rush and final boss. I recommend to everyone who was struggeling.

1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Theatrhythm
3. Pokemon Arceus

Pikmin 4. Got 100% in all areas, finished a certain tale, now doing what comes thereafter.
After Pikmin going back to Zelda the Minish Cap.
And meanwhile a bit of Suika game, Picross, Theatrythm.
Taking a break from big games before starting one of these, don’t know yet which one:
Ni no kuni
FE Engage
SMT V

@kennycottam I haven’t started 3 yet, first I’ll finish 4 and I’ll take a break before starting 3. But my friend who recommended 4 is sure I’ll love 3 too.

Pikmin 4. Got 100% on the 1st 4 areas, now doing what comes next and failing badly.
This is my first Pikmin game, and I like it so much that I bought Pikmin 3. I wonder if 1-2 are worth it after 3-4.
And a bit of Tetris 99, Picross, Theathrythm.

Finished Super Mario RPG during the week. It was shorter than I expected, but so relaxing. And now I know what was the starting point of all the fantastic M&L and Paper Mario games. After that I started Pikmin 4. Now I’m on the 2nd area. Trying to collect as much as possible before progressing. What a beautiful game! Zelda the Minish Cap (NSO) will have to wait a bit more.

Finished 13 Sentinels during the week, and gave up on the last level in Mario Wonder. As a fresh start I played Zelda the Minish Cap (NSO) up to the 2nd dungeon, but now this has to wait a bit, till I play through Super Mario RPG, where I’ve just got the 2nd star.

I was hoping for Mario and Rabbids Sparks of Hope with DLC going down to 30 euros, but it’s 40. Still considering.

Mario Wonder: my colleague did Climb to the beat for me on his 1st try! So now I’m going for the rest.

13 Sentinels: I’m at 85% of the story, let’s see if I can finish before Mario RPG arrives.

I’m very frustrated with Mario Wonder. Having everything collected everywhere else, but still missing the 1st seed in Climb to the beat, after spending 6-7 hours trying. A colleague promised to do it for me next week, so I’ll try to restrain from it this weekend.

Last Sunday I started 13 Sentinels. It has a quite depressive story, but I enjoy both the VN and the strategy part. I’m planning to finish it before Mario RPG.

And progressing slowly towards the last few big stars in the records in Theatrhythm.

1 Switch is already heavy enough to hold in hand, the double weight would be awful.

@jon128 I will keep trying, because this game seems to be absolutely 100%-able despite of this ***** level. Someone already pulled me through the last part, but I did not reach the seed in time. I also have the pink coins. For the rest of the game I have 100% on w1-2-3 too and close on others. And I did exactly the same with Tropical Freeze as you

Mario Wonder, trying for 100%, but seriously stuck on Climb to the beat, still missing the 1st seed. Obviously cannot do it on my own, so waiting for my luck in multiplayer. My whole weekend might be dedicated to this single level. I don’t like this game so much anymore.

@Hero-of-WiiU I used Y+B, but now I tried B+A, it’s much better for my thumb. Thank you for the suggestion!

@Kidfunkadelic83 what a good idea, always dash would be a blessing for my rheumatic hands. My thumb hurts so much after playing

Mario Wonder on a rainy 3-days weekend
