Still plugging away at Xenoblade Chronicles. Currently 92 hours in and on Chapter 17, I finally can see the end. Those story cut scenes though, damn! Amazing experience.
EDIT: Oh, also some Hades. Recently bought that on sale and now I'm addicted. If there is such a thing as a perfect game this might be it.
Wouldn't you know it I picked up Agent A recently for just over a $1 and really enjoyed it, didn't want to put it down until completing the 5 chapters.
Also loved Oxenfree and really should pick up Afterparty. And I need to get back to Thimbleweed Park.
Yesterday I beat Alwa's Awakening. I picked it up during the current sale due to NLs recent review of the sequel. Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed the 11 hours over 3 days it took me to playthrough.
Tomorrow either continue my progress in Super Mario Galaxy, Xenoblade Chronicles, or Persona 4 Golden. And maybe some SMB35 in between.
SF2 was a phenomenon in the 90s. I was spending outrageous amounts pumping coins into the arcade, that was until mum forked out $140 or so and bought me the SNES port. Amazing game. Those were the days.
Got my copy yesterday after Amazon warned I might not receive it on launch day because of covid, but this time Amazon delivered. They can be funny with their day one delivery times sometimes.
Went straight into playing Galaxy for the first time, I skipped this on the Wii for some reason even though I did get the sequel. Loving it and think it looks great in HD. I wish the release wasn't so bare bones, some more extras would have been nice.
Over the past few days I've put in almost 30 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles DE so I plan on continuing that today. Before I went to bed I progressed to Chapter 10 (I think), I just finished the Prison Island confrontation, and roughly 47 hours in. Man oh man, is this so freaking good. I'm so glad I never played my Wii copy more than a few hours back in the day so I could experience this version new.
Today I beat Paper Mario The Origami King. Absolutely loved it, one of Nintendo's stronger output and one I hopes breaks the 10mil sold barrier, the game definitely deserves it.
Also jumped into Smash Bros and grabbed the spirits minutes ago.
I always love hearing people tackle their backlog because it lights a fire for me to do the same. Plus playing games already out beats whinging about games not getting release announcements. So in that spirit I'll be tackling either Xenoblade Chronicles DE (roughly 20 hours in), Persona 4 Golden (80 hours in and right near the end), or Bayonetta. Don't know which yet.
I've had Xenoblade Chronicles DE and Paper Mario The Origami King on rotation this week and will continue doing so. Loving both. Also dipping into Animal Crossing New Horizons for an hour or two everyday.
I've already played Tetris 99 and got the theme, also finally just finished the first Ace Attorney on 3DS today.
I'll also be playing more Animal Crossing and get the spirits for Smash Brothers tomorrow. Not too much other than that. I do want to knock out P4G this week.
QUESTION: I bought a physical copy, but wouldn't mind a digital copy so I don't have to change cartridges all the time. If I did, would I still have my island or would it make me create a new one?
More Animal Crossing. Plus some other games I need to finish. We'll see if I get to them as I haven't been playing as much as I would like. Been reading more though.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Congratulates Xbox On The Series X|S Launch
My XboxSeX is sitting right behind the Switch on the left side of my TV. Looks real good too.
Tomorrow, my PS5 will sit on the right hand side. And the holy trinity will be complete.

Bummer. I never did play Killer7 when I should have, a Switch version would have been a day one purchase.

You should watch the film Teeth, it might change your opinion about adding teeth.

Maybe some Bayonetta and ACNH as well.

Yep, they need to bring this West. Browsing the eshop by phone would be less clunky and a much faster experience I would assume.
