You can do some really cool stuff with emulation. I’m playing Fire Emblem Echoes Shadows of Valentia (3DS) emulated at 4x native resolution with a HD texture pack at the moment, and it makes that game really enjoyable. 3DS games in general benefit a lot from increased resolution you can do while emulating.

Plus these things like widescreen on games that didn’t have it, cheat codes, 60fps patches, fan translations, increased resolution, mods (Luminescent Platinum is so cool). It’s just such a neat world on top of just playing older games that you can’t purchase legally or conveniently anymore.

Idk that I would call it a Metroidvania. It has no map and it’s completely linear.

But, it is a super well made game. I loved it.

Just finished up Sea of Stars. Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. The visuals and music were spectacular. The story was kind of weak, and didn’t too much time tying into the Messenger without resolving plots in a satisfying way. Some of the characters were good, but the actual plot felt kind of pointless. Gameplay was also fun, but took awhile to get going. I think it was really fun after some more options and characters were available, but the start felt too slow. Would still recommend it though. It is a very solid game. It’s just not perfect.

Going back to finish Pikmin 4 next and start up Cocoon on PC too.

Trying to finish Final Fantasy 16 this week. I’m about to start the final quests after I finish up some side stuff. It’s kind of crazy how different the side quests at the end are compared to the beginning. They’re so much better with a ton of character development.

Also working my way through Pikmin 4. Loving every second of that one. It’s just kind pure joy in game form. So colorful and fun.

Will probably try to max out my season pass in Destiny 2 as well, if I have time. The game is about as boring as it’s ever been, but I’m too deep to stop now. May as well play until Final Shape then hopefully call it a day on that one.

This game was really good, but had some BRUTAL difficulty swings. It would be nice if they tweaked that a bit. Really my only complaint from playing it.

If you can do an emulator or mod your switch, there’s a really good BDSP mod called Luminescent Platinum that adds a ton of QoL stuff, mons, NPCs, and Platinum stuff.

This looks really cool. It’s been on my wishlist for awhile. I don’t normally play these kinds of games, but it looked so cool in the trailer. I may jump in on the Game Pass version.

I’m playing
- Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Finished the story and started the side missions. It’s been super fun. Such a huge leap over 1 and 2. I played 2 immediately before 3DX, and I didn’t care for it. The dungeon structure didn’t do it for me, but 3DX has been wonderful, albeit very easy.
- Final Fantasy XVI - I’ve been very slowly trucking along through this. I took a break after I had a family tragedy recently and wanted to focus on happy games while that was happening, but I’m getting back into this and hoping to finish soon. Really liking it. It’s fun, the story is good, the characters are interesting. It’s just a solid game. Wouldn’t want every FF game to be this going forward, but I’m not upset XVI is what it is.
- Destiny 2 - Just leveling the season’s battle pass mostly. I don’t play D2 hardcore these days. Just to the story and hop off. The story for the season has been over, so I just hop on for a little bit each weekz turn off my brain, and level a few times while listening to a podcast. It’s my comfort food game, though I think I’m the most disinterested I’ve even been in this game.
