Hello Everyone!

Time for another update on our gaming progress!

I am still playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingom. About 65 hours in. Small non-spoiler update next, those who want to avoid it can move to next paragraph. I am going for the last regional quest, and have found 60+ shrines. As for exploration, have done about 1/4th of Depths and Sky Islands, and activated all Sky towers, though there's still a lot to find.

I mentioned resuming Animal Crossing, but it didn't went far. My wife is completely back into it, but I haven't played it much, whenever I am on Switch I just want to play Zelda.

In non-Nintendo world, just downloaded Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, going to start playing it with my kid. Going to be our first beat 'em up together, if I am not forgetting any.

Other than that, also planning to give Monster Hunter: World another try, this time with a group of friends.

That's all from me. What are you all up to? What are you playing?

I’m playing Pikmin 1 HD (I couldn't really wait for the physical edition as I had previously stated). I'm having a blast so far, played 6 days and got 10 spaceship pieces.

I remember being terrified of the time constraint in the game (30 days to get 30 pieces) when I first played it 20 years ago, but my experience with Pikmin 3 makes the game really much more manageable and enjoyable now. The Switch version, even if it's a simple HD port with some very minor tweaks, is really enjoyable.

Looking forward to starting Pikmin 2 HD, probably next week.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I was a bit on the fence about 1 & 2, but KotActually made a post about it yesterday, giving a mini review on the state of Pikmin 1, and I am quite excited about it now.

Looking forward to finally have the time to play it.

Wolfenstein, Half Dead, & Ray Man!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Which ones? The first Wolfenstein and Half Dead? And what about Rayman? Playing them all on PC?

Still playing Tears of The Kingdom myself, 225 hours in I have one last temple and a few side quests here and there so I'm almost done with it and I have no idea what I'll be doing next lol.

I've paused ToTK for a week or so (35 hours in, only 1 regional questo done lmao) but I may resume this weekend. I need to catch up or I'll never finish that game at this rate, wish I had more time...

Other than that, eventually I want to give MH: Rise another try. Bought it on switch when it came out, played it for a week then dropped.

Just like last week, minesweeper for me. Great classic.

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Minesweeper is a pretty good game. Which one are you playing? The one included with Windows? Or some other version?

I've been playing TotK since release, and it finally feels like I'm approaching the end of the main quest. I'm not quite ready to be done yet, though: I wanna at least complete all shrines!

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I prefer the GameCube and Wii era because my childhood.

[–] Ippei@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really fun game. Personally, I like the newer ones as well (especially Origami King) but I take them for what they are: a different series by the same name. Although I'm probably a bit of a heretic since Super Paper Mario is my favorite.

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I actually did get Origami King on release year, it's the best of the new games for sure. I did play Super Paper Mario a while back as well. I remember liking the flip mechanic, and that it had the best story.

[–] Dark_Blade@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pokémon Sword, surprisingly enough! Still have some Dynamax Adventures to wrap up. Aside from that, I'll probably sweep my SV raids to see if I can land a shiny Gimmighoul, then go back to TotK.

[–] fruity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

About to finish 13 sentinels & got spiritfarer and both portals in queue.

I'm 75% of the way through Advance Wars 2 (from the Advance Wars Reboot-Camp remake). I normally get ~3 levels done per play session, but the last stage of Yellow Comet was more difficult than usual. I'm thinking these last stages are just harder than all the earlier stages.

I might try a hard-mode run, or maybe I start playing competitive (erm... casual-level competitive. I dunno about beating the grandmasters in this game but I kinda wanna see where people are).

More Pokémon Violet for me. I’ve finished the game but I find raiding relaxing.

[–] fax_of_the_shadow@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Splitting my time between Cassette Beasts on Switch and D4 and FFXVI on ps5. Cassette Beasts is a great palate cleanser between heavier games.

I keep playing TotK and I'm also 65 hours in. I'm taking my time exploring, doing side quests and shrines every now and then. I haven't even been to the south west part of Hyrule!

I'll probably be playing Mortal Kombat 11 (just got all the DLC at 70% discount on the eshop today) and probably some Overcooked 2 or beat em ups with my girlfriend.

I'm supposed to be getting the physical version of Doom Eternal next week from Limited Run Games, looking forward to that!

[–] LucidDreamer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Mario party for switch.

[–] Omegan@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I think I've decided to place Diablo 4 and TotK on the back burner and get back to the Xenoblade 3 DLC. I didn't get far in because of TotK (which I have a lot left to play as well) so it'll be nice to focus on that for a bit.

[–] Vatw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Still ToTK. I started strong when it first came out, but haven't had as much time until recently.

[–] Falmarri@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have TOTK to play, but I don't have the attention span for video games anymore. I still have another voucher as well. Probably get fire emblem, but no idea how much I'll play either.

[–] MillenialGeezer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

TOTK if I have the time. By far the best game I've played since BOTW.

[–] cities@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I am still playing Tears of the Kingdom when I have time to play and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon

[–] flicker@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm desperately trying to find time for TotK. I tried going to (end the game) and had to leave because I needed materials and meals. I managed to get extremely far in the game but work made progress impossible for the last two weeks...

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

splatoon 3 and Trails to Zero

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Nice! How are you liking Trails to Zero? I want to complete the Trails in the Sky series first, have played first on steam, was hoping for the Switch release, but I guess I would have to complete the whole series on PC.

[–] tatlo_itlog_ko@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'll see if I can finish chapter 3 of Dragon Quest Builders 1 on the switch today.

Got a bit pissed and had to put the game down for a bit after chapter 2 because the boss trashed my town during the fight. I had to rebuild the town after, it doesn't feel right leaving my poor villagers in that state.

But yeah, still a very fun game.

[–] Sdot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Borrowed a couple games from a mate to see if I wanna buy them myself. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a no, but will be buying Mario 3D + Browser's Fury after payday. Also, usually fit in some time on Dorfromantik in the evenings or when stressed.
