Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero. I bought it the day before it went on sale in the eshop 😭
It's good for a dragon ball game. Still playing it. I'm sure there's some skill involved to play it well, but I'm largely button mashing.

Probably some more Cyberpunk again honestly
I finally get to continue the story of Xenoblade X as all side quests up to level 60 are taken care of at last! The Red Lobster quest is very demoralizing. It's no wonder I only found just under half, the other half doesn't appear until you get the first 49! So if you try to do this without a guide and thoroughly comb through every nook and cranny of the city, your reward is getting to do it all over again. If all of the lobsters were available from the start this would just be a normal, tedious quest.
In the late endgame, the lack of any kind of combat log becomes a real problem. There are some rare cases in which I engage a tyrant and just instantly die and I have no idea what even happened. The enemy list in the game shows their stats and resistances, but not what they do.
In Monster Hunter Wilds, I recently realized I really don't need most of the extra rewards you get from Tempered monsters in the field, so I've switched over to grinding materials from lower ranked regular monsters via the quest list. My wishlist is finally shrinking at a visible pace!
I'm about to finish Wild Arms 2. I recently finished adding all regular enemies to the compendium and fought the optional bosses. I wasn't able to beat one of them because it would just require too much grinding. If there's one thing the game is missing, it's a way to reduce incoming non-elemental damage. You have spells that can raise defense and resistance, but they do next to nothing!
I dug out Smash Bros. Ultimate again for the first time in years. I've been doing single character runs of World of Light pretty much exclusively since launch and a list randomizer decided to pick Captain Falcon for this eighth run.
Wow, it's friday already? This week flew by so fast, was really busy with my new job.
Playing Trails Beyond the Horizon!
Finished Act 1, and looks like from Act 2 onwards we'll get a split storyline between Van, Rean and Kevin.
I went with Rean's route first, and this section has them arriving at Basel, learning the lay of the land then going into a mock battle against the Republic's new mech, the beautiful Excalibur.
Van's route will be next.
Playing Super Robot Wars Y!
DLC2 has arrived so it's time to get back to this game.
This DLC includes Steel Jeeg which got a LOT of love in the animation department, plus an alternate universe Getter Robo and Da Garn from the Brave Series.
So far this DLC has been on the easy side, I guess it isn't balanced for endgame units with Level 99+ and tons of upgrades, but I'm having fun. Curious if the new storyline will be as interesting as the one from DLC1.
With two of my favorite series to keep my busy and a lot to do at work I didn't get any progress on Hades 2 or Witch on the Holy Night.
Thankfully there's no major game release I'm interested this month and we have an extended holiday coming soon (Carnival!) so I hope I'll be able to go back to these games soon.
Well, there is Mario Tennis Fever, but I am not sure. I enjoy sports game, but not sure if it's worth $70 for me. Will check out the details about the solo content and then decide.
There's also Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, but I still have 3, 1 and 2 to play before that, so no hurry about that.
Mario Tennis is not my cup of tea.
I've tried DQ games before but I almost never liked them enough to finish, 5 being the main exception. So while I might give 7 a shot it's probably a "pick it up with a big discount" situation.
What's the next big game you are looking forward to?
My wishlist is kinda empty for "major" releases right now.
If I get a Switch 2 I'm interested in the new Fire Emblem (plus Bananza which is already out), and maybe Adventures of Elliot depending on the reviews. Other than that I only have the two games from Falcom (Kyoto Xanadu and Trails in the Sky 2) and the new Professor Layton game.
Of all of these I think only Adventures of Elliot has a release date and it's only in June!
I recently played Donkey Kong Country Returns HD on the Switch 2 to check out the latest updates. I almost instantly remembered why I abandoned it 🤣 I was on the last world (I think), and it just feels unfairly difficult, and I never really clicked with the feel of the controller. So I don't know if I'll come back to it with more patience at some point or what. Never made it that far in Tropical Freeze.
Today is the 35th anniversary of the first introduction of Street Fighter II to arcades. To celebrate, I'll be playing some fights of Street Fighter II in any of its several iterations available on Switch 😅
I've been playing River City Saga: Three Kingdoms, which is a lot of fun. I just haven't had time to advance much in the story, but hopefully that'll change this weekend 🤞
Hehe, I can understand that, Donkey Kong Country games are really tough, at least in the last couple of worlds.
I have to start River City game, there are so many now. Trying to catchup to older series, so will probably get around to it somewhere this year. Let's see.
Wow, 35 years! That's worth celebrating! Have fun!
Yeah, there's been a lot of River City games, which I'm thankful for! I already got Three Kingdoms Next which I read improves on a lot of stuff. I've played both original River City Girls too, I'm looking forward to whatever comes next after Three Kingdoms.
About Darksiders, I played the first one on Switch in 2019, and I enjoyed it. It felt like an older school Zelda 3D game. Since then I've been thinking of getting Darksiders II on Switch, but never got around to it. It's usually found rather cheap, so I still might get it. I might try it out this year and then check out Darksiders III after I read your post!
Just looked it up, there are 8 River City games on Switch. 5 new ones since 2019, the other 3 are remakes or older games.
I played the first one in 2013, and loved it. Darksiders 2 I played much later, in 2023 and felt dated to me, though you play more retro games so your mileage may vary.
