3DS

Pokemon Shuffle - Just started getting back into this. Don't know why.
Nintendo Badge Arcade
Solitaire
Kirby Planet Robobo - It's alright, but I forget how 'kiddie' Kirby games are until I play them. Probably would have passed on it if I'd remembered.

Switch
Sonic Mania Plus - Finished Encore Mode which was pretty lame. Putting this one aside for a while now that I've beaten it thrice over (once with Sonic and Tales, once with Knuckles, and once on Encore.)

The thing is, these games should come with a doobie or two, cause even though they are easy, they are always super fun. Just sayin'

Yeah, I'm enjoying it, but there's been almost no challenge. Great game for a kid.

Switch:
Travis strikes again - about 2 hours in. I like it. Right now the combat is pretty simple, but it was that way in NMH 1&2 as well. Story is neat so far, and some call backs to other games (The silver case) have been cool

I loved Epic Yarn. It wasn't tough but I made a point of 100%ing it, which added a bit of a challenge. I might pick up the Switch game at some point since it looks like a mainline Kirby game instead of a gimmicky one like Mass Attack or whatever.

Switch:
Super Smash Bros Ultimate- Still working on spirit mode and clearing classic with all of the characters.

GBA:
Fire Emblem Sacred Stones

Spent most of my gaming time on the Neo Geo this week, played a little bit of about 30 games for short burst. No game clears but just a lot of fun on different titles

Nintendo 2DS
- Cubed 3D
Finished 11 of the 40 levels perfectly (all marbles, trophies and sketchbooks). So far, I'm actually finding the levels to be relatively easy to solve. I think that's because, having made several 3-dimensional dioramas out of 2D video game environments, my brain is already trained to think/visualize in the way that this game is set up.
- Heroes of Ruin
In the home stretch, 80% completion and my character is level 24. Finally found some other people playing this game online yesterday, but that didn't work out too good. The first person, a level 3 newbie, kicked me out of their game before I even got to meet up with them on the map. They were on the first dungeon, and I did the first sub-quest, collecting 3 pieces of driftwood, and they gave me the boot immediately after I completed that. I guess it's my fault, as I committed the cardinal sin of touching another man's wood without his permission! The second game I found had two other players, and me and one of the other guys were waiting for the 3rd dude to get to the boss area (you can't trigger a boss fight unless you're all present), but I lost the connection before that could happen. Blah.
- Nintendo Badge Arcade
1,175 badges.
- Pokémon Rumble World
Still rank 66 with 589 pokemon caught. Saved up 149 Pokediamonds, so, I'm almost 75% of the way to the 200 that I need to buy that most expensive balloon, after which, I expect my rank should go up into the low 70s pretty quickly.
- Pokémon Shuffle
277 stages cleared, 459 pokemon captured.
- SwapDoodle

'Cuz it's awesome! Really wish it had been a retail cartridge release instead of a free game with the pay-to-play bullshit though.

simpsons hit and run
resident evil 4

PS4
Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
Uncharted Collection

PS4: more Dark Souls 3, it's better than the second game, but for me the first one will always be the best.

Been playing Mega Man X6, I think I just enjoy playing this game through more times because of X having Zero's saber and the music.

Also, my daughter has been telling me I need to play New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for Switch. She enjoys watching me play as Toadette/Peachette. I'm now in Roy's world.

I enjoyed NSMBU and moreso the challenge in NSLU, the switch bundle doesn't really have much for me to rebuy the games but it's enjoyable. I feel it's better than it's predecessors, it was the victim of oversaturation.

 

[Ralfakick]

XBOX 360
Sega Rally Arcade
Daytona USA Love just running through the first oval course.

Switch
Strikers 1945 +
Mario Kart - Moved up in CC
Kid Nicky Radical Ninja (I need to play the NES version again, I think I prefer it to the arcade version)

PS4
Tabletop Racing World Tour - Hate the controls and how if you touch a cpu car they try to run you off the track but the game is fun
King of Fighters '99 - Had all the other KOFs available on PS4 so I figured why not.

I guess that makes me fortunate that I missed out on Wii U. Made a lot of these must purchases for me.
