Super Mario Bros 2<\/strong> (NES) – Came out on Switch\u2019s NES Online service last month. Several months too late, I might add. Because I just like playing a little Mario 2 here and there, I took both warps to skip pretty close to the ending, and finished in like 45 minutes? Then I watched a warpless speedrun that took under 25. I felt so much shame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Resident Evil 2 <\/strong>(PS4) – Did an easy-mode Leon B practice run for S+, and actually took longer than I did on Claire A, which is weird because the B scenarios are shorter (but tougher). Clearly I needed that practice run to study and learn the remixed route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dragon Quest XI<\/strong> (PS4) – I got to the end! But then it turned out that \u201cthe end\u201d is only the end for those who seek to put in the minimum required effort. The post-game is absolutely crammed with things to do and actual significant story content. It\u2019s wild, and it\u2019s where DQXI actually becomes moderately difficult. The main story is probably the easiest DQ has ever been; my party didn\u2019t wipe once, and it was rare that any characters even died (stupid Whack). But the claws have come out and there\u2019s still so much more to go, I guess I\u2019ll keep at \u2018er\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deer Man<\/strong> (PC) – A game that I purchased for a dollar, because the promo image made it seem spooky. It was, ever so briefly, but then quickly transitioned into a short story about protecting wildlife. Not the worst way to spend a dollar and twenty-five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blaster Master Zero 2<\/strong> (Switch) – A terrific follow-up to what is still one of my favourite games on Switch. I don\u2019t know that it\u2019s better than the original, but it\u2019s certainly at least as good. It feels like the top-down segments are less important this time around, but I really like the game\u2019s overall structure and how there are a dozen little planetoids that act as self-contained challenges. I fully intend to write a review of this one too, so stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cosmic Cavern 3671<\/strong> (PC) – It\u2019s kinda like Dig Dug and\/or Boulder Dash (full disclosure: I\u2019ve never played Boulder Dash), but not really fun at all. I played it for literally three minutes before chucking it in the Steam equivalent of a trash bin. Although, now I am left with the mystery of where it even came from. Probably one of those IndieGala bundles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cloudbuilt<\/strong> (PC) – I last played this in August of 2016 and deduced that it was too hard for me. Also it doesn\u2019t run quite well enough on my machine. I don\u2019t know why I didn\u2019t uninstall it and write it off back then. Although 2016 was a very different time. Long before Switch and the Curse of Too Many Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chiptune Champion<\/strong> (PC) – Now that I have a guitar and Rocksmith, other rhythm games seem so\u2026 empty. I really like the chiptune soundtrack to this one, but my keyboard is not designed to be held and strummed like a guitar. Putting this one in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glittermitten Grove<\/strong> (PC) – The follow-up to Frog Fractions that just didn\u2019t have the same pull. If Steam is to be believed, I played this thing for ten hours, but never finished it and spent most of that time waiting for it to click for me. Better off just playing Frog Fractions again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Downwell<\/strong> (Switch) – I can get to level 2 now, but those ghosts are tricky and relentless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/strong> (Switch) – Picked up my half-complete Master Mode run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Final Fantasy IX<\/strong> (PS1) – Played up to Burmecia (end of Disc 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun<\/strong> (3DS) – Picked up to finally finish it. Collecting Mina\u2019s flower petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fitness Boxing<\/strong> (Switch) and Rocksmith<\/strong> (PS4) – Assume I\u2019m always playing these. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ~ Game Over ~ Super Mario Bros 2 (NES) – Came out on Switch\u2019s NES Online service last month.
