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.
I completed & really liked I am Setsuna. I downloaded Lost Sphere when it was on sale, but haven't started it yet (same with Octopath Traveler). I tried the demo for Lost Sphere, but found it boring. However, I'm going to give it another chance eventually.
A Chrono compilation would be nice, too. Chrono Trigger was excellent. Chrono Cross had good visuals & music, but didn't resonate with me, so I ended up trading it in. I didn't get too far into it, either because it was kind of boring to me, iirc.
I've watched about 3 or 4 episodes a few years ago, & liked what I saw. This game pales in comparison, but I'll still get it when it's marked down to at least 50% off.

While I have many of the games listed, most of which I've barely dabbled in, my gaming time this Christmas will be primarily, if not wholly, devoted to MHGU.
Although I haven't beaten it yet, I love Sky Force Reloaded. I really enjoy the leveling up system it uses. Sky Force Anniversary was on my Wii U wish list, but I never got around to purchasing it. So I downloaded it on Switch and like what I've played so far.
This isn't the first time Hollow's been discounted at 90% off on the NA eshop. I believe this is the 2nd (possibly 3rd) time it's been 90% off. So yeah, it is odd that there's an article about this.
I don't play online (or local multiplayer for that matter), so it's not a big deal to me. I've never played a Civilization game before, but I was just about to pre-purchase this on the eshop last night until I noticed 2K was the publisher. Then I realized that their games usually go on sale shortly after release, in addition to being buggy messes. So I'm waiting for a review & a sale of 50% or more.
I haven't noticed any of the issues listed because I still have yet to start XC2 or Torna. I downloaded the game + expansion pass when it released, but I've been busy with other games.
My 400GB card only has about 9GB left. Already downloaded Starlink, though. Although I wish I had pre-purchased the deluxe edition; I initially didn't realize there was a deluxe edition until right after I bought the regular version.
@NewAdvent Neither Wizard of Legend nor Kamiko appeal to me, but based on NL's review score I gave Kamiko a chance, and I have to say that I regret that purchase. I just don't get what people like about that game. The art style is ok but the music is forgettable, and the gameplay is just plain boring.
I captured some screenshots of an arrow that is stuck/frozen in mid-air, and some other screenshots of a campfire that is floating in mid-air just above Link's head.

Re: Trine Dev Frozenbyte Is Surprise-Launching A New Multiplayer Melee Fighter On Switch Today
Looks bland to me. I'm not a fan of the art style, either, but I'll try the demo later tonight or tomorrow.

It looks ok, but nothing great. Might be worth picking up when it's on sale for 50% or more.
Re: Pokémon Masters Has Already Secured Five Million Preregistrations
I'll pass. Pokemon games are quite boring to me.

Nothing for me this week, but I plan on picking up Redout some day.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd May (North America)
I'll get Shakedown Hawaii some day. Probably when it's on sale. Also, is the X in European Conqueror X the letter, or the Roman numeral?

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 7.0.1 Resolves Minor Pokémon: Let's Go Issue
I played the demo to Let's Go Eevee. It was quite boring. I just don't get the appeal of Pokemon.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 15th)

Re: Deals: Black Friday 2018 Is The Best Time To Pick Up A 400GB Micro SD Card For Your Nintendo Switch
@SwitchForce Yeah, I'm a fan of getting rid of things that take up physical space, so I'm 100% behind digital forms of media.
Re: Deals: Black Friday 2018 Is The Best Time To Pick Up A 400GB Micro SD Card For Your Nintendo Switch
Since I don't do physical anymore, my 400GB card is already filled up.

Re: Wandersong On Switch eShop Has Outperformed Steam Sales By Nearly Three To One
You're probably right. And while the Wandersong trailer made me chuckle a few times, it also doesn't really appeal to me.
