@JustMonika I picked up my DDLC Plus physical pre-order from Gamestop yesterday along with Dread. I honestly forgot I pre-ordered it with all the Dread hype. Gonna be playing Dread for now, but my wife and I are both looking forward to trying out DDLC. I know nothing about it and was chatting with someone who worked on the Portuguese localization for the Brazil version a few months ago. She said it was pretty crazy!
I recently played through The Raven on Switch and that could have been so much better. Started out well, but felt so bland halfway through. This looks interesting with the mind map stuff. I'll give it a go if it's fairly cheap.
Quite possibly my favourite shoot 'em up simply because of the music coming from the Mega Drive's Yamaha YM2612 sound chip. The first stage sets the mood for the frantic action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DoxbSN9Q2Y The "select mover" track could be the best and that's not even a stage!
The case is not too bad, but too bright for a game about "dread". I'll eventually get the controller at a garage sale in 2027 for $1. Will the Dread amiibos even work on that controller?
That sucks. I was actually sent a second additional copy by mistake from GameStop here in the US. Still haven't tried it out yet. Waiting for that patch first.
Had to get my Switch copy out to check since I was curious. 20%. Played it for 120+ hours and beat it and I'm happy with that. Too many other games to play!
Totally late for this one. It is Labor Day weekend here and it is Monday already, but wanted to say that I will be playing (or rather, did play) a lot of Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3ds for Dread. Just got 7 Metroids left to kill.
Metroid 2 on the original Game Boy is fantastic. Needs to be higher up on the list. I am playing through the first three games for the first time for Dread and I preferred it over Metroid and Super Metroid.
Excited for Ys IX: Monstrum Nox after playing Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This past two weeks I've actually been playing a lot of Shining Resonance Refrain on my Switch. It reminds me a lot Ys VIII and I think has a better story so far and more interesting party actions.
Honestly, they should be sending those who bought the physical version a free physical version with all the DLC on it. But who knows, there's probably more DLC on the way after that. I'm not a fan of this model.

Re: These New Sega Charging Mats Let You Wirelessly Charge Your Phone In Style

Excited for Ys IX: Monstrum Nox after playing Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana. This past two weeks I've actually been playing a lot of Shining Resonance Refrain on my Switch. It reminds me a lot Ys VIII and I think has a better story so far and more interesting party actions.
