This weekend I will be tucking into Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles, I can’t wait.
In between, I’ll dip into Hades 2, Yakuza 0 & Street Fighter 6.

Happy gaming all

SF6 at that price is a steal. It’s been my main goto switch 2 title and had the most play time. Cross play was the selling point for me. Can always find an online game 😁

After work today, I will continue with Silksong. I also started The Stone of Madness again last night due to latest patch and will dip into that as well.

Happy gaming all

Game was great, story was a complete mess but you don’t play for the story. The Jeanne bits however..please don’t ever do that again.

Cool article. I would like to add context sensitive jumping which I think was first introduced in Ocarina of Time (Happy for someone to correct me if I’m wrong). Probably one of the least satisfying type of jumps.
My favourite type of jump, similar to head bopping. Are downward strikes on enemies or environments that extend your jump.

Happy jumping all 🤓

Hello sir, I’m pleased to tell you, the silksong update went live yesterday FYI

After work Simulator has finished today. I’ll be spinning some silk well into Sunday. Pretty sure I am at the end of act 1. I have the last judge to tackle first. At first I thought I had hit a major wall but I’ve almost got the blighter after many attempts/patiently learning tells. I’m putting it down to tiredness so will get red bull’d up tonight. He’s going to face my final judgement tonight.
In between that, back on SF6 for some online play. And some banana hunting on DKB.

Ok, they got themselves a sale. Off to the eshop I go

Sigh, shame there’s no crossplay. The Capcom collections would flourish with that

It happened to me and I thought it was hilarious. Well and truly trolled. Fair play Team Cherry, fair play

The difficulty is fine for me. Don’t get me wrong I’m no pro, I’ve died a tonne. It’s great they’re considering accessibility for those that don’t crave punishment. Be nice if this is optional though

I will be silking my song once work is out the way today

Happy gaming all

It took 19 minutes, but finally got through to payment confirmation screen. Happy silksonging all

I picked up Hogwarts Legacy on sale for Switch 1 for £9.99, then got the discounted S2 version for £8. Really impressed with what I’ve played so far. I do dread to think what the NSW version is like though.

Will dip back into SF6 and DK Bananza in between.

Happy gaming all

The game looks proper cleaned up. And it’s on the cart. Will be adding this to my huge physical collection that is Cyberpunk and Dk Bananza come October.

In 8bitdo we trust.
I just got the Lever 8bitdo arcade stick. It’s taking some getting used to but my SF6 game has improved immensely.
I will pick this new edition up if I’m still knee deep in FGs in 6 months or so

Well silk my song and knight my needle, releases right after payday

I’ll eat my red nose if it’s a release date announcement 🤡

Scored a 7 because it’s quite fun and it was nice to see my daughter exert herself.
The game itself is pretty solid, and it has unlimited potential for QOL and gameplay improvements. It will sadly be a case of whether or not Nintendo will support and update which I think is very unlikely.

Factorio Space Age expansion with added mouse support would be lush.

The summer break with my girls is over for the month as they go back to their mums today. I will be drowning my sorrows in SF6, all the Capcom fighting collections and Drag x Drive. I think it’s also time Cyberpunk and Yakuza 0 came back out to play now the kids aren’t around.
Happy gaming all

I’ve been looking forward to this one. Amazing news

That’s a Christmas gift with my daughter’s name on it

Pay day weekend so will be playing DK Bananza and testing out my new 8bitdo Fight stick on Street Fighter 6.
Happy gaming all

My biggest gripe with the Crash Trilogy is that I don’t remember it being so hard. I know it was difficult back in the day but this time round, I thought my skills were lacking due to my age.
This latest revelation might be the key reason to why I suck.
Still love the collection though.

“Big DK Energy” was brilliant.
Looking forward to this one lads and ladies. Next gen Nintendo is finally here!

Me being good with only one Switch 2 purchase this month went out the window. So this weekend I will be alternating between Cyberpunk 2077, Yakuza 0 Directors Cut, Fast Fusion and TOTK S2 Edition with the odd online race on MKW.
Almost a month on, it still blows my mind how good everything looks and runs. Trying to decide on a S1 game to test out performance wise.
Happy gaming all

I would like to add Doom Eternal & Risk of Rain 2. Huge improvements to frame rate and resolution. ROR2 is actually playable now in later stages.

It is payday weekend but i’ve only treated myself to the TOTK upgrade. With the cost of living and the high price of S2 games, I’m hoping to get in better spending habits with gaming.
Loving the clear upgrade on TOTK. Smooth as butter. I never finished it so I’m starting a fresh save and going through it again. It always felt like TOTK was a “next gen” title stuck on previous gen hardware. It’s reached its final form and now a true “next gen” title. And I’m in love with it all over again.
Happy gaming all

Intermission tracks or not, I’m still going for first place babey

I’ve won it a few times. I have my strats 🤓
Waluigi and Big Horn are my goto

I appear to be having the most joy online with Waluigi and Big Horn combo

I’m playing Work on a Saturday simulator then later this evening and all through Sunday, I’m hitting the online tracks on MKW. I may also dip into No Man’s Sky NS2 edition.
Happy gaming all

The realistic plan for me was getting the MKW bundle and then next payday, I’ll pick up a third party game (most likely Cyberpunk), although I’m wondering if I might just be satisfied with the TOTK upgrade.
The other factor to consider is that many of us probably have a huge backlog of switch 1 games somewhat removing the direct need for new games. I’m having a great time testing out performance boosts for my favourite switch games. Check out Switchup on YouTube, they’re doing a great series replaying old games and the results are mostly brilliant.
The other factor and most deciding is money.

Grabbing my popcorn for the lore discussions 🤓

On Thursday, I managed to complete Nintendo Switch Stock Checker on Google Chrome. A long tedious game that requires quite a bit of patience. Bloody great ending though. With that out the way, I’ve finally got round to Mario Kart World and oh my. I also have my girls for father’s day so we know what we’re doing all day tomorrow 😁 MK party!
Happy gaming all

Ahh I wonder how much more insane runs can get now with more power. Got to a point on the OG Switch where I was crashing the game due to how many golden eggs one character had

Amazing to hear. Will be getting this on Friday after I go pick up my NS2. Very excited

The Switch 2 FOMO is real. This weekend I’ll be playing Nintendo Switch Stock Checker on Google Chrome. In between that, I’m sure I can squeeze in some Capcom Fighting Collection 2
Happy S2 weekend people

@Anti-Matter
I always thought you didn’t like violence in games in general? Has that changed or are you jumping on the PS5 master console bandwagon again?

The GOATs strike again 🤩

The daughter and I have been playing Capcom Fighting Collection 2 since Friday and we’ve settled on Project Justice as one of our faves.
Happy gaming all

For me, operation backlog will be continuing on the NS. I am in absolutely no rush to get the NS2, I’m still hyped to get it one day but for the moment, I’m happy with my current collection and seeing how the launch goes. I look forward to hearing everyone talking about it though. Exciting times to be a gamer.

Alex Garland is an exceptional writer. I can’t imagine this ever getting the go ahead if they didn’t have faith in it. I hope they don’t go heavy on the CGI. Exciting times

Monster Train 2?! But what about operation backlog 🤯

Operation backlog has been paused for the moment as I’ve just purchased Labyrinth of the Demon King so I’ll be dungeon crawling tonight once work is out the way.
Happy gaming all

Operation shave away at the backlog before Switch 2 continues. I’m playing between Astral Ascent, Darkest Dungeon 2, Neon White and attempting some arcade runs on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, mainly Alpha 3.
I saw the ending of Shotgun Cop Man yesterday, now it’s time to clean up the level checklists.

Isaac is still the GOAT in 2025. I’ve had it since its (Switch) release. Clocking in way over 1000hrs and could still happily play it for a 1000 more. Insane replayability

Oh my days, I’ve just done the tutorial. I can already tell this is top tier. I’ve got a day off tomorrow so I know what I’m doing tonight!
Costs £8.99… mad
