Finally beat the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for the DS the other day, so now I'm trying to decide what to focus on next. Do I get drawn in by Drawn to Life, or do I throw a block party in Lego Battles? Decisions decisions.
I'm currently high and playing Digimon Racing before breakfast and bed time.
I'm spending some time before breakfast, and soon after bedtime, playing Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron for the DS and watching Transformers: Generation 1.
I was playing FireRed, spending more time trying to decide my final team, and this is all because I accidentally let Ivysaur evolve, so it's been boxed.
At some point, probably Sunday, I'll be playing Rune Factory 3 for the DS while my wife plays Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town on the Switch.
Today is a reading day for the two of us; I'm reading through the Star Wars Republic Commando series, one I haven't read since I was a teen and has been waiting on my bookshelf for decades, and my wife is reading 11/22/63 for the first time.
During the Moon's time during the AM hours, I was playing Pokemon FireRed with a desire to play Sonic Forces, but I passed out before I could switch games.
During the current daytime, I'm playing Paper Mario TTYD. The music on Ms. Bosom's stage bothers my ears and plays with the fact I suffer from both visual and auditory hallucinations, so I'm taking advantage of being able to have tv low volume but my computer turned up loud (watching Rogerbase play ToTK).
If my wife wants the Switch today or tomorrow, as we normally farm together; me in Rune Factory 3 and her in Pioneers of Olive Town, I'll be playing more Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big Break for the Gameboy, or Wipeout 2 on the DS. She's in the middle of reading 11/22/63, so she most likely won't be taking the Switch.
Outside of gaming, although still kinda related for how much it plays with the mind and eyes, is the 3D Dragon Ball Z puzzle we've been working on since the beginning of the year. We're about 70 percent done, but it is hard to look at for extended periods.
Just traded in a few games and picked up Breath of the Wild, Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, and Sonic Forces.
So far I've given Sonic Forces a whirl, and I must say it's quickly working its way up the ladder towards my Top 5 Sonic games. I went with the bear as I thought it would be fun to recreate Smokey the Bear if possible, but then I realised you give your avatar shirts and not pants, so he's a more risque with his forest fire fighting.
During the dark hours of the night, I'll be going green and playing Paper Mario. Never beat it back in the day, so I'm looking forward to playing it again after all these years.
It's 6am and I'm playing FireRed on the Switch. Will be tackling the Colour Dungeon in Link's Awakening DX later today, and my wife suggested we play Mario Kart 8 at some point.
Outside of videogame playing, I'll be playing in the world of Imagination as I'm finally gonna start the Thrawn books. Or the Court of Owls Saga.
Never was able to score a Gameboy Player back in the day, so I'm living the dream now with FireRed on the Switch.
Besides reliving my youth in Kanto (hopefully with different 'Mons on my team), I'm helping the Wind Fish out of a bind with Link's Awakening for my green Gameboy Pocket, doing a bunch of fishing in Rune Factory 3 for the DS, and I might get all topsy turvy with Yoshi for the GBA.
Kingambit. Bisharp is one of my favourite Pokemon, so seeing it get an evolution is pretty sweet. George Lucas might even toss the word "poetry" at it, considering Gen 5 and Gen 9 are my least favourite, and my favourite Pokemon from those regions are Bisharp and it's evolution, respectively.
Link's Awakening was my first experience with The Legend of Zelda back in 1995. Little five year old me, watching as my family was tearing itself apart, and here comes this little elf looking boy, fighting monsters without a word being said. Made me feel like it was ok not to talk. I sought peace and safety on Koholint Island. I didn't get very far back then, I think about a quarter of the way through, but it got me through the worst time of my life.
Now, with a new copy slapped in my green Gameboy Pocket, I'm finishing the journey I started 31 years ago.
@JohnnyMind Thanks. I remember I had Link's Awakening back in 1995, but I never got to finish the game before I lost it. It's neat to be back at it, 31 years later, and I'm enjoying it so far. Reminds me of back then, but not enough to spoil it for myself by my past self (don't really remember much, so it's like a blind playthrough).
I ordered a couple Gameboy/GBA games for my birthday (today), so they're my focus this weekend. At this very moment, I'm playing Mario Picross in the NSO SNES because I don't want to pass out and drop my Gameboy on the floor.
Rune Factory 3 for the DS, and probably more Spot: The Cool Adventure for the OG Gameboy while I wait for Link's Awakening to arrive in the mail (early birthday present as I share the same date with LoZ)
I've been meaning to play more Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time, and I want to finally get started on Drawn to Life. I want to play it, I really do, I just keep putting different games into my DS.
Outside of Nintendo, I'm currently evaluating my PS4 Library and whether I want to trade-in for a Wii U or something retro, so I'll probably jump into RDR2 so I can think and explore. Might play some more Destroy All Humans and/or start the Karl Marx missions in AC Syndicate.
Just got Tom and Jerry in Infurnal Escape for the GBA, so that's my focus. Might play some Drawn to Life at some point.
Outside handheld, I've been meaning to play Mario Party Jamboree while high. Or 200cc Mario Kart. Still need to 3 Star each Cup in 200cc, and the only one I've done I got Second Place thanks to an unfortunate Blue Shell on the last corner of the snack track.
Oh I forgot to mention my wife wants to play more Story of Seasons Pioneers of Olive Town, so I'll be on PS4 while she plays the Switch version. And I'm gonna play more Destroy All Humans on PS4 (bought it same day as Tom and Jerry).
Currently playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth. Been watching Digimon Adventure with my wife (her first time), so it's had me put down the PS4 and jump back into the Digital World.
I'm currently playing Mario Party DS at this moment, but I would like to play more Lego Battles on the DS. I didn't know it was a game until earlier this year, but it's been pretty fun so far. Might finally play Drawn to Life and/or more Transformers War for Cybertron - Decepticons.
If a game can't run properly on a console, it shouldn't be on said console. There were a lot of Switch titles that shouldn't have been, and I'm hoping the Switch 2 doesn't continue that bs.
Outside of my Playstation gaming (HZD, Naughty Bear, and/or Sims 3), I wanna try and relax with my DS. Was playing more Wipeout 2 last night, but I've been meaning to play more Transformers: War for Cybertron - Decepticons, so that's what I'm gonna do. I also have one more world in Galactic Tax Ball to finish until I beat the game, so I'll get that done too to make it the 15th game beat this year.
Did six 200cc races in Mario Kart 8 while high as a kite earlier, was generally surprised I won 4 outta 6 considering I'm normally trash at 200cc.
I keep meaning to play more of my DS, specifically Mario Party DS and Pokemon Trozei!, so I'm gonna try to actually do that today. Got laundry, putting my wife's desk together, and quesadilla making to do today, plus I wanna play more HZD so guess I'll see.
I feel like the Nickelodeon characters need to stay in their own lane with the three games they already have, which aren't half bad for the most part. This is disappointing news.
@Member_the_game I just sold my Series X to get a PS4. Will be adding a Switch 2 next month, as a joint anniversary gift, to the party beside my PS3 and PS4.
@Spider-Kev I'm on mobile and I'm looking right at the Game Profile, where has "Also Available For: PS5, Xbox Series X/S".
And when I switched to desktop, the Game Profile is on the right side of the article near the top. So either way, the info you needed was already there available. Open your eyes next time.

Re: Ratatan Dev Cancels The Switch Version
@PolitiClank I still roll with the OG Switch because I'm not paying 800 bucks just to play Mario Kart World and DK Bananza.

Re: PS5 Gets An Insane Price Increase – Will Nintendo Follow Suit?
It's 791 after tax for the Mario Kart World bundle in Canada, at least in Ontario, so I hope it doesn't go up as well.
Re: Nintendo To Change Pricing For Digital & Physical Switch 2 Exclusives, Starting With Yoshi
This is why I've gone backwards with consoles because I'm getting priced out. New games push $100 after tax, and a lot of them aren't worth it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st February)
@Duck_Farmer The Outer Worlds gets ragged on a lot, but it's honestly one of my favourite games of all time.

@Eduard_Brenton I want to get CrossWorlds, but I still have a sour taste in the mouth from Team Sonic Racing.

Link's Awakening DX (GB)
Tiny Toon Adventures Babs' Big Break (GB)
Justice League Heroes: The Flash (GBA)
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 6 Pokémon?
Despite my overall dislike of X and Y, they did give me two of my all time favourite Pokemon; Greninja and Pangoro.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 4 Pokémon?
Luxray, but Staraptor, Floatzel, and Darkrai are very close behind.
I have a shiny Luxray and it is my team leader in whichever game I send to, racking up a collection of Champion ribbons.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 3 Pokémon?
@shoeses Absol together strong.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 3 Pokémon?
Absol. People might think it's stats are absolute butt, but I love the edgy Disaster Cat.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (14th February)
Rune Factory 3 for the DS, and probably more Spot: The Cool Adventure for the OG Gameboy while I wait for Link's Awakening to arrive in the mail (early birthday present as I share the same date with LoZ)
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
Sandslash is my favourite Gen 1 Pokemon, and my third favourite overall. Umbreon and Luxray take First and Second.

Stay safe, friend.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (3rd January)
Playing Simpsons Road Rage for the GBA, finally beat Galactic Taz Ball so I can finish up Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron, both on the DS.
And when I'm not enjoying my time gaming, I'm trying to get passed the curling event in Mario and Sonic Olympic Winter Games 2010 on the DS.
