A bit later than usual, but I wanted to give some space after the Direct news.

Finished Diablo IV, it was an interesting story, the cinematics were amazing, like always. Had fun playing it.

Would love to go back to it sometime in future and play with other classes.


So, I did something stupid. I started an MMORPG, when I don’t even have time for normal games.

Started Final Fantasy XIV. It’s just a trial version for now, wanted to give it a test but I got hooked, and didn’t want to play anything else.

Wanted to finish DK: Bananza, but when I started it, I just wanted to rush through it so that I could get back to FF XIV, so I have temporarily put pause on all games and just playing that.

It’s a VERY long game, so I don’t think I’ll be able to keep that pace, most probably will get back to playing other games this week or next by the max, but let’s see.

I am currently at the place where you are done with your initial quests and get access to other cities. I have also done a few multiplayer dungeons, it’s not as much of an issue as I thought it would be. Though being on console, it’s difficult to reply to others when they message, should try to attach keyboard / mouse for those times.

I have also unlocked all the possible classes that can be unlocked until this point, which is all of the crafting and gathering ones (Disciple of Hand and Disciple of Land) plus some combat and magic ones (Disciple of War and Disciple of Magic), but I am focusing on only my main one, which is a Tank. Just got them unlocked in case I am bored some time and want to try something else.


What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

    I’ve been playing Rally Arcade Classics for a review. It’s an arcade simulator rally game with a retro aestethic and works pretty well on the Switch.

    I put Cyberpunk 2077 on hold while I play SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. It’s a fun platformer if you like the show, just like Battle for Bikini Bottom. I don’t think it’s one of the best 3D platformers or anything, but as a fan of the show, I’m having fun.

    On the retro side, I recently got Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance on the Game Cube. So far I’ve only played Sub-Zero, but I’m planning on trying out all the characters and fatalities. It’s “Mortal Kombat 5”, the first one exclusive to consoles (no arcade). It changed the fighting formula a bit, so it’s interesting. It’s also not included in the Legacy Kollection, well the GBA version is, but it’s not the same 😬

    I’ve had the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. on my calendar for so long, I planned to play the original game on my Famicom to celebrate. So I’ll try to finish it in one go on Famicom tomorrow (remember to press A on the title screen before pressing start to go back to the beginning of the world where you got Game Over!).

    So, I did something stupid. I started an MMORPG, when I don’t even have time for normal games.

    Sounds like me every time I get invited to a Minecraft server 🤣

    Anyone else a bit overwhelmed after the Direct? I definitely want to play Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, the Mario Galaxies (just for 2, since haven’t played it, played 1 on Wii and Mario 3D All-Stars), Metroid Prime 4 and Hyrule Warriors, maybe Yoshi and who knows what else… 😱

      I have already asked this couple of times, but since you put it so plainly here, what about people who aren’t fans of the show? 😛

      (remember to press A on the title screen before pressing start to go back to the beginning of the world where you got Game Over!).

      Really? I didn’t even know that. Is this also available in the NSO version?

      Anyone else a bit overwhelmed after the Direct?

      Yeah, lots of games added in my wishlist, and many coming soon Pokopia, Dragon Quest VII, Mario Tennis, Mario Galaxies, and those are in addition to everything already in my list 😀

        There’s probably way better 3D platformers to play on Switch than this in that case 😅

        Is this also available in the NSO version?

        I haven’t tried it on NSO, but I’d assume it does work as well since a it’s built in “cheat”.
