I kept dying at the 3rd boss in Alwa's Awakening, so eventually moved on to other games. But I recently have been telling myself that I need to get back into it. But I'm working my way through Titan Quest right now, which seems like a pretty lengthy adventure, so it might be a while before I continue Alwa's Awakening.
I got Robonauts a while back when it was heavily discounted but I have no interest in any of those other games, even if they are free, so I'm gonna pass.
I wonder why Capcom never puts Ultra Street Fighter 2 on sale any more. Every time they have a sale it's never included. I think it's been on sale twice since it released (in North America).
I enjoyed this on Wii U, but it was just called Factotum on that platform. Is Factotum 90 the same game? The screen shots are definitely not green like the Wii U version is.
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.

Re: Rumour: Is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Taking To The Skies On Nintendo Switch?
Skyward Sword is a mediocre game — nothing great. But I'd still get it on Switch just because I like the Zelda franchise.
Re: Earthlock 2 Might Not Make It To Nintendo Switch, It Seems
I made it to the final boss, iirc, & kept getting defeated, so I ended up moving on to other games. I should probably get back to it some day.
Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con, As Well As Your Nintendo Switch

Re: Capcom Is Hosting A Huge Spring Sale, Super Savings On 32 eShop Titles (North America)

Re: Space Robot Puzzler Factotum 90 Crash Lands On Switch Later This Month
I enjoyed this on Wii U, but it was just called Factotum on that platform. Is Factotum 90 the same game? The screen shots are definitely not green like the Wii U version is.

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