I’ve been going through the story mode for Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 this week. I’m currently on chapter 5, so I’ll try to finish another chapter or two. I forgot how fun this game was! I didn’t make any progress in Mega Man X3 like I said I would last week, so I’ll try to squeeze in that as well.

While I do not intend on playing them, I also got physical copies for Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and River City Girls 1 AND 2!

Yay the spoiler text worked😄

I defeated Calamity Ganon in Age of Calamity yesterday. Such a fun, underrated game! I spent the evening trying to get my characters stronger, as well as trying to get the Guardian parts to revive Terrako. I also got the expansion pass when I got the game, so I’m pretty close to getting the Battle Tested Guardian as well. I do want to finish up other games in my backlog, though, so I’ll come back to Age of Calamity another day.

So this weekend, I’ll work on getting the new spirits in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and maybe make more progress in Mega Man X3 and Sea of Stars.

I’ve been really getting into Age of Calamity this week! I’ve just taken back Akkala Citadel from the Yiga Clan, and I’ve done 11 combat trials and 70 side quests. I’m going to spend this weekend doing more combat trials to strengthen my available characters.

As much as I want the game in question to be Hi Fi Rush, I don’t think it’ll happen because it wasn’t even powerful enough to run on an Xbox One

More exploring in Tears of the Kingdom. I managed to get the Tunic of Memories last night, and I’m getting started with the labyrinth puzzles. I also stumbled upon one of the Twilight pieces on accident!
I was able to get a TON of games from all of the holiday sales. I was able to get:

Sea of Stars
Gravity Circuit
Chained Echoes
Vernal Edge
Super Mario RPG
LIVE A LIVE
Guacamelee
Guilty Gear
Nick All Star Brawl
Age of Calamity
Yooka Laylee
and Lego Star Wars: the Skywalker Saga

I already got started with Sea of Stars, so I’ll be going through that this weekend along with TOTK. Happy New Year, everyone!

@Lightsiyd I believe if you scan a Samus or EMMI amiibo, you can get daily refills for health and ammo. To get boss Rush, you just have to beat the game

@Lightsiyd Basically, sequence breaking is using more advanced techniques in order to acquire items in an order that is much different from when you play it on the first go. I won’t spoil anything for you, but what you can do from it feels so satisfying in the long run.

Thanks! I’ve been playing Sonic Mania ever since it launched back in 2017, but I’ve gotten multiple copies of it over the years, first on Xbox, then I got it digitally on Switch in 2019, then I got a Steam copy AND a Switch PHYSICAL copy this year, and got the Encore DLC on all three platforms. Seriously, the game’s THAT good!

@garfreek I’m enjoying it so far! The combat may take me some time to get used to, though

@Lightsiyd Metroid Dread is amazing, hope you enjoy it! It gets really fun when you learn all of the sequence breaks

Exploring the Depths in Tears of the Kingdom. I found the monster from the Wind Temple down there, but I teleported away right when it spotted me! I might take it on soon. I also got Suika Game last night and played for about an hour. I really enjoyed it! On Xbox, I am doing some achievement huntin' in Sonic Mania Plus. I got all of the gold medallions for the blue sphere stages.

I'm going to be working all afternoon today and going to an uncle's house for Christmas Day, but I'm going to take advantage of all of these holiday sales going on. I might pick up Sea of Stars and Chained Echoes on Switch, and maybe Chrono Trigger on my laptop. I already picked up Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 on my Xbox for $20, and I'm currently playing through the first game. I'm in Wonderland right now.

Hope you all have a good holiday!

@Pally356 I agree. I’m most excited about what they’re gonna do with Jet Set Radio, but the Shinobi game looks the best in my opinion. I’m so excited about this!

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was robbed, man😔

@Shadowking58 Dang, that’s rough to hear. Still, best of luck to the devs on their future projects. This game looks super fun, and is a great fighting game in general from what I’ve seen / heard.

Holy moly, that’s sad to hear! Between this and the censorship update with Skullgirls back in June, it has not been the best year for fans of indie fighting games. I still have the physical edition of TFH, but I haven’t played it yet. I probably should soon.

Also, does this mean they’re taking the story mode out of the game, or will we just see it unfinished?

I beat Super Mario Bros Wonder last night! That final boss was one of the most fun boss fights I have ever gone up against in a game.

After that, this weekend I might play some Cuphead to cleanse my palette, as well as dabbling in some survival mode for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge.

I also got some kick butt deals on the Eshop. I bought Gris, Capcom Fighting Collection, and that Pac Man game compilation. I also snagged a physical copy of Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition.

@Vyacheslav333 it sucks because they literally could have made these changes optional through a sensitive content toggle a la Bayonetta 3. We could simply have everybody be excited for Marie if that happened, but since it’s mandatory for everyone, the fan base is now divided and THIS is the note we end on…

I may play Marie / go through her story mode when she drops (and maybe rewatch the new characters’ story modes with voice acting) but after that, Skullgirls isn’t getting another minute of playtime from me

@Snatcher It’s ironic because I do not care about Filia’s changes, as with a lot of people against the update. I’m most upset about removal of guest art / crowdfunded content (Russian announcer), Big Band’s intro cutscene, and what they did to the Black Egrets

I’m loving this game so far! I already did the story campaign for Team Japan.

The final bosses can suck a lemon, though.

@EarthboundBenjy Persona 5 Strikers also has that with its art book and soundtrack, too

@Vyacheslav333 As a Skullgirls fan, I strongly agree. Not even self censorship, just censorship in general

I just got the deluxe edition of The King of Fighters XIII: Global Match on launch day. I’m gonna go through the story content, while getting to world 3 in Super Mario Bros Wonder.

I also plan on going back to Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne going into Thanksgiving break. I’m in this weird garage looking room, but I’m using a guide to help me know where to go, and it looks like I’m close to fighting Matador.

@the_beaver Use two asterixes (Star thingy) around the word you want bolded.

The King of Fighters XIII should be on here, too!

This looks really fun, as an action and metroidvania fan myself. I’ll be keeping an eye out for this one

Blade Chimera looked really cool, and the “new” Shantae game finally being released after so many years in Metroid Dread-esque limbo was super nice to see… but nothing else caught my interest other than those two. I’m happy for Outer Wilds fans though. I give this a 6.

@Lord A retro showcase actually sounds like a cool idea!

@NatiaAdamo Pizza Tower RAAAAAHHHH🍕🍕🍕

I’m so mad that Bomb Rush Cyberfunk didn’t get nominated for anything

I got to Pyramid Island in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk a few nights ago. I intend to take on Devil Theory there this weekend. I also plan on doing some more general exploring in Tears of the Kingdom and upgrading my battery charge for my Zonai creations. Of course, I’ll also play some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, now that all of the DLC cups are out. I got three stars rankings on all 150, Mirror, and 200cc Grand Prix, which is really satisfying!

On the laptop, I got to the third floor in Pizza Tower. I might try to get through that so I can fight my main man, The Noise.

@Sisilly_G Rivals of Aether is also really good! It’s the only other platform fighter I have on Switch. I also heard Slap City is awesome, too

@martynstuff The Toads bup along to the music

I’m excited, just wondering which game it would be based on, exactly

I probably will be skipping out on this, unfortunately. I already have a Pro Controller and a Pro 2, but this looks pretty cool, especially for the price!

@Chaotic_Neutral Agreed! I found a 1 TB card for like 60 ish on sale on Amazon a week or so ago, and it wasn’t a SanDisk or official Nintendo game card!

“Western game dev has been here.”
“How can you tell?”

I believe Cabanos is also the voice of Filia in Skullgirls. That’s awesome!

Also just got the game this morning and beat the first world. It’s awesome, everyone go play it

I’m considering getting Super Mario Bros Wonder with a game voucher, but I wasn’t able to download it last night because I had to transfer all of my save data and games to a larger micro sd card. I mean, it was worth the wait. I now have over 800 gb in free space left!

I also got Tekken 7 on my Xbox during a sale along with the Geese Howard DLC. Might give that and Tears of the Kingdom some time while I have a long weekend. Stay warm!

@Vexx234 laughs in Sonic Frontiers

Take your time, guys! We have tons of stuff coming out this month, anyway. Looking forward to the review!

Just completed the Wind Temple in Tears of the Kingdom last night! The boss that followed was super cool. I’m now just doing some general exploring and trying to access all of the skyview towers on the surface.

Other than that, might play some Skullgirls, as well as Pizza Tower on the laptop

Just got Tears of the Kingdom earlier this week! I’m gonna head to Rito village first, then do some general exploring.

I’m also checking out the new update for Sonic Frontiers. I was able to get the spin dash before I started, and MAN it makes the game so much more fun!

@RareFan “DK is the Fire Emblem of Mario Kart 8”

Okay, everyone, you know the drill

Mario Kart Wave 6 plz

Mostly going to be playing the new DLC for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. I also will be playing The Messenger and Persona 5 Strikers while I don’t have classes this Monday.

I have this on my Xbox, but I may get a Switch version. This game’s pretty fun!

Niiiiiice!!! I probably won’t get the physical edition since it takes up very little space on my microSD card, but for those who haven’t played it, PLEASE DO!! It is one of the most fun beat ‘em ups I’ve ever played, only behind Shredder’s Revenge

I loved The Messenger! It was one of my quarantine games lol. Can’t wait to see what else they’re gonna do with it

@Snatcher It basically starts out as a platformer, but it becomes a Metroidvania like halfway through.

@Captain_Toad I don’t think so… I think she debuted in the 2003 series according to her Wikipedia page
