Interesting that you dropped Octopath Traveler. Maybe it’s the better choice.

I for myself have still been playing Super Mario 3D World. Got to the last world, finally. And yeah, the last level, Champion’s Road, is indeed very hard. I’ve already heard of it multiple times and yep, a real challenge. Not sure if I even want to continue. I guess it would be a great achievement to have beaten that level, but it’s not really that much fun to play a hard level over and over again. So maybe I’m just gonna stop here, with everything else at 100% exept that level.

I have also been playing Okami. The start wasn’t really that great, but I feel like it’s getting better the more I play. I’m still not really that far though, so I’ll have to see what else that game has to offer. I do like the paintbrush mechanic, it’s an interesting way to give the player more abilities the further you progress, and I’m looking forward to see what other ideas the devs have.

The artstyle is obviously pretty great, Okami’s visuals have hold up very well. It literally looks like you’re playing a painting.

Overall, I’m looking forward to playing it some more.

Oh, and there’s the Wii mini too. Can’t think of any newer system with a DVD flap.

Wait, the OG 3DS has that too? My New 3DS has that problem as well. Crazy that they managed to repeat that design flaw.

In this weekly thread, we don’t mind where you play, you can mention all your current games

Oh, that’s great to hear

would love to hear what you think about it

I’ll let ya know when the time comes :)

Would probably just get Okami HD on Switch though

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Higher resolution, maybe better controls, and of course on a newer system. I just like to check games out on the console they originally released on, even if it’s usually not the best way to play anymore. I think it’s just interesting to see how a game was originally designed without any changes made to it.

Super Mario 3D World is very good. I don’t recall if I did all the endgame content or not, but I did finish it. I would actually like something like that again.

That’s why I came back to it. Having many, shorter levels is nice if you just want to play a while without sinking hours into a game at a time (but that’s still possible of course. Replaying a level mutiple times just to get every star, stamp or golden flagpole is cool, too). And besides that, 3D World is just a good game. Great music, controls, level design and a harder difficulty later if you want a real challenge.

I really hope the sequel is better. My brother got me a copy for my birthday a while ago. Haven’t played it yet, though I do look forward to it. I also heard it’s better than the first one. I’ll see.

I’m mainly playing Okami on PS2 currently, but that’s not a Nintendo console of course. When it comes to Nintendo, I’m playing Mario Kart DS every now and then. I’m finding a new appreciation for this game somehow. It’s really good. Great multiplayer game, cool courses, good music and of course the nice battle mode (forgot what it was called).

I’m also playing Super Mario 3D World again. I have a savefile that I started in, what, 2019? Got really far and played through the story, getting every green star along the way. I basically 100%ed the game until the Bowser world. For some reason, I stopped after that. I don’t remember planning that. I somehow just turned my Wii U off for the day and never returned to that game for some reason, I don’t know. In any case, I started playing through the extra worlds. 3D World really has a lot of endgame content. I’m interested to see if I can finally bring that savefile to 100%, even if it took me years. It’s still a great game btw, in case you never played it. I highly recommend it.

I wanted to love Octopath Traveler. I loved the music, story, battle system and visuals.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get much further than you are right now. Twice. I tried it twice.

The reason I gave up 2 times was the grinding. It gets ridiculous after you get the 8 characters. It got bad enough that it really destroyed any fun I had with the game. It really sucks, because I like everything else about OT.

It’s such a shame. MK8 is turning a decade old soon. I just want a new MK. Fuck the Switch, man

Might also be a broken contrast wheel. Could be fixable with IPA if it doesn’t work right.

If it’s really the display, I guess there are at least many replacement options available.

You did try to change the contrast on the GB you bought, didn’t you?

I mostly agree with you. But really, the Wii U wasn’t that bad. It’s slow af, yes, but it’s still fun to use. More than the switch for sure. I’ve been revisiting the console a bit lately due to the Nintendo Network shutdown, and the funky menu with the music and the Miis still puts a smile on my face.

hey man, just wanted to say thanks for posting this! didn’t knew about the project before, so it’s cool that you spread the word.

Well yeah, but it also looks worse.

If one still goes with upscalers and likes diy projects, the GBS-control is also definitely worth a look.

Just downloaded the demo. Gonna check that out later. The game looked interesting in the trailers.

Man, still have to get one of those

Pretty cool design!

If you are comfortable with building a pc by yourself, you could try to get an older office pc and put a decent graphics card in there.

I hope they’ll do a physical release too.

I did not 100% due to ridiculously hard shinespark puzzles

man I know exactly what you’re talking about, they were brutal

This is what I’m here for!
