Hello Everyone!

Another week without me playing too much.

  • Playing and enjoying New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. The game is super fun, but can be a bit tough sometimes, or maybe I am just not good at platformers. I am at 2nd boss, would try to clear it and the 3rd area.
  • Finished Carto, loved the game. Some of the puzzles require you to think a bit, and there’s one puzzle near the end that I couldn’t figure out. Saw a YouTube video, and cleared the puzzle, but still can’t figure out the logic behind it. Other than that, there are some secrets that I didn’t get, I may go for them, not sure yet.
  • Back to Monster Hunter: World, cleared couple of missions. Going to keep at it.

Now that I have finished Carto, going to start another smaller game, not sure which one yet, have a few lined up, will go through my list and decide.

What about you guys? What have you been playing? And what are you planning to play over the weekend?

Regarding Super Mario Bros Ultimate, If you think it’s hard in the 2nd world wait till you get down the way. Especially the hidden levels and the star levels. But the game is very fun regardless.

This weekend I am off for vacation and left the Switch home so I am not playing anything

Not hard in general, but there was a certain portion in world 2 where I lost about 4 lives.

Vacations are great, stay away from screens, and have lots of fun!

Now that I finished Tears of the Kingdom, it’s time to get back to finishing the last two stories in Octopath Traveller 2.

Nice! Which 2 are left? I haven’t played it yet, but have seen all the characters.

The final chapters of Agnes and Partitio. And I guess there’s gonna be a final final boss again, like in the first game.

I’m falling deep into the Pikmin nostalgia hole. Bought Pikmin 1 and 2, played the crap out of them. Beat 3 two days before Pikmin 4 dropped, now my girlfriend and eye are casually taking turns (‘2 player’s mode’) working out way through that. I’m usually the type to like difficult and challenging games, but something about the chillness of this new one has got me in a good way.

Wow, nice! I am glad you are enjoying Pikmin! I should show it to my wife too, it looks like a kind of game she might enjoy.

3 is the best for an active 2 player experience (at least as far as the story goes). The multiplayer battle modes are good in both

Okay, will show her that. Thanks for the info!

I’ve been playing Pikmin 4, it’s chill and fun. I probably won’t get back to TotK until I’ve finished Pikmin 4. I might play some Sonic here and there too, and I’ve been wanting to get back into Smash Ultimate for some time now.

I received Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons physical yesterday. I only booted it up to download the update and have a quick 5/10 minutes play, so it’s ready for the weekend. I’m looking forward to playing that one with my girlfriend!

How good are you in Smash Ultimate? If you are somewhere between not good to bad, we can have a few challenges sometimes 😀

Double Dragon Gaiden looks pretty good. I am glad the beat 'em ups are coming back. It’s one of my favourite genre.

I’m probably as good as in Mario Kart. I think I’m good when I play with friends, but then I play online and get my ass handed to me 😆 I haven’t paid for Nintendo Online for about two years now, but I could get back to it for some Smash and Mario Kart online!

I love beat 'em ups too. I have a decent beat 'em up collection for Switch now! Both classic collections and modern ones.

@picandocodigo What are your favorite Beat ‘em Ups…I played Streets of Rage 4, have River City Girl, but I’m trying to find games that last for more than 3-4 hours.

Haha, I am pretty much same. Good enough with friends and family, really bad globally.

As for online, I don’t play much online either (maybe once or twice a year), so don’t get it specifically for me. But if you do ever get it, we can try couple of matches sometimes.

I’m trying to finish Mercenary Kings. I’ve gotten a long way but it’s taking so long to finish. You really gotta commit to this game.

How are you liking the game? Doesn’t it become repetitive? I played a bit of the start of the game, and it was pretty much all in same area, doing same kind of things? (I am seeing the irony, talking about same area and doing the same thing, while playing Monster Hunter myself…)

Yeah it is at first because you do multiple missions in the same area which are very similar. As you move up the ranks you unlock new levels with new enemies that are much harder, but it takes a long time to get there.

If I enjoyed the game-play of the 2-3 missions that I did, would you recommend me to keep playing it? I just saw that it’s too long and switched to something else, thinking I’ll play it later, but then didn’t get around to it.
