I tried the first Sonic at a friend's house & didn't care for it much. I've never played any other Sonic game other than demos of 1 or 2 of the recent ones (didn't care much for those either).
I had already beaten the main campaign & the Hearts of Stone expansion (plus all the side quests for both of those), but took a break from starting the Blood & Wine expansion to get to other games in my backlog (recently finished Starlink, & now working through FFX).
But the update got me excited to try it out, & so now I'm already deep into Blood & Wine.
I've started both but haven't gotten very far in either one (got distracted with other games). I'm playing through Starlink right now, so maybe after that I'll start seriously playing through one of those.
The only game I have on that list is the King of Cards expansion for Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, but I haven't played it yet. I think Specter Knight's campaign is my favorite one so far, though, then Plague Knight's, & then Shovel Knight's. They're all really fun, though.
I've experienced the following & would like to see one or more of these fixed:
-Frame rate stutters regularly, especially when auto-saving. -Tutorial glitch — don't remember exact details other than it got stuck & couldn't progress. -Frequent enough game crashes (in & out of cities). -And then, of course, it would be nice if some type of graphical improvement could be made, especially in docked mode.
I've still yet to play Tetris 99. I downloaded it, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to trying it out. I'm not a huge Tetris fan. It was a mediocre game at best when it launched on Gameboy. Fun in very short spurts, but it couldn't hold my attention for very long.
I've never had Netflix, nor ever watched Netflix. And I have no desire or plans to ever get Netflix. I don't watch TV anymore. I just play video games. My TV is hooked up to a bluray player, a Switch, & a Wii U. My daughter is virtually the only one who uses the bluray. I don't even have an antenna to get any of the free TV channels.
@KarateLuigi I'm a glasses wearer too, but I just lift the glasses arms up so they're basically resting on top of the headphone cushions instead of being sandwiched.
I owned this on NES back in the day & beat it. It was tough for a while but once I got good at it, I was able to beat it repeatedly. I didn't know there was an arcade version.
Monster Boy is a great game. I played it to 100% completion several months ago, though, so I'm not sure if I'll ever play it again to see the update changes.
I first played Trine 1 & 2 on Wii U, & downloaded them again on Switch (though haven't played them on Switch yet, but I really like those games). I plan on picking up Trine 3 & 4, but am also tempted to just download the Ultimate Edition. Im no tech wizard, so my question is this: Trine Ultimate Edition is 2.8GB, I believe — the same as Trine 4 — so does the fact that the 4 games have been compressed into the same amount of space as Trine 4 is individually mean that they won't noticeably look as good or play as smoothly?
I'd like to give this game a try. The screenshots didn't make it look like anything special, but then I watched the trailer on the eshop & it looks promising. Might be a while before I can download it, though (lack of funds available).
I'm still ploughing through Skyrim with over 1000 hours logged, but decided to start Dragon's Dogma before finishing Skyrim, and now I'm hooked. I may try out Astral Chain, but it will likely remain in the backlog for a while.
I first played Cave Story on WiiWare & then downloaded it again on Switch. On both versions I made it to the final boss, but have never been able to beat the game. Eventually, I moved on to other games. I still think about going back to it every now & then, but I have such a large backlog, I'm not sure when that'll happen.
The art style is alright, but the animations are too slow for my liking. It looks like more of a chore to play rather than being fun. I think I'll pass.
I absolutely loved Zelda 2 when I first got it on NES. My brother & I would play that game every day until we finally beat it. The final boss was always relatively tough, but the rest of the game became quite easy after playing it all the way through over & over again. I remember getting frustrated often with the final temple, but eventually we both had its layout memorized. Even when I replayed the game on Wii VC (after it had been years since I had last played, & I no longer had the final temple maze memorized), the final temple was fairly simple to navigate.
I still really enjoy that game & would love to see a remake happen.
I went all digital with the Wii U & also with the Switch. I have around 200 games downloaded on my 1TB micro SD card (which I bought during Amazon Prime Days).
I downloaded this game & the expansion pass a month or two after it came out, & I still haven't played it yet. I toyed around with it some, but couldn't get into it (the very beginning is kind of boring). I've been in the middle of XC 1 on Wii U for about 3 years now & kind of lost interest, not to mention I haven't played Wii U since the Switch released. But I thoroughly enjoyed XCX on Wii U, & played through it to completion 2 times.
I've only ever played RE 1,2,3, & Code Veronica (which was my favorite of the four, but I really liked all of them a lot & played them all to death). I tried the demo of Revelations but just couldn't get into it.

Re: Astral Chain And Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Both Surpass One Million Sales

Re: Inti Creates President Elaborates On 'That' Zelda II Remake Comment
