I didn't play too much either this weekend. Just a little bit of Civ 6 and some Joe Montana's Sports Talk Football 2 on Genesis; it's still a fun game.
I've mainly been playing Hades, and finally got the proper ending after defeating Hades in combat 10 times. I'd also like to say that it was well worth the struggle. The game had an excellent ending, and it's always nice when a game of this caliber has a conclusion that matches it.
I progressed in Miles Edgeworth 2 a bit this weekend.
But mostly playing Alfred Hitchcocks Vertigo. It's a telltale like game.
Switch version graphics are rubbish docked. It feels a lot like Edith Finch. It's plot is strange as it's both boring yet compelling at the same time. I did feel compelled to keep playing it to uncover the truth. You do psychiatrist sessions with the main character and then dive into his memories.
It is interesting and I'm sure the visuals are better on other platforms.

Such a heartbreaking loss for the Toronto Blue Jays last night. Being so close to winning it multiple times really makes it hurt more.
One of the best games I have ever seen. Felt so bad for Toronto fans, that game was won so many times.

Mortal Kombat Kollection is getting thrashed on Steam reviews for being an unfinished, laggy mess offline and even worse when played online (no lobby or matchmaking); seems to be the same on other platforms as well. Digital Eclipse says patches are coming. I was looking forward to this collection, but I'll wait for a price drop and patches now.
It's really sad how rotten the gaming industry has become when they even rush out a compilation of 30+ year old games. It's also telling how many MK games were left out of this $50 collection. DLC anyone?
I bought this, hardly got into it yet but the PS5 version is the bad one. On PC the input lag isnt bad, the online mode is a disaster though. I hope they patch it.
We are all so old, look at what everyone is playing. Dragon Quest 1 and 2, Joe Montana Football, Luigi's Mansion and I got the MK kollection and playing old RE games. We are desperately trying to relive our glory days lol.
I still play new games though, I have been playing Ninja Gaiden 4 and its really good but sloppy in a way the OG wasnt. When the combat works its amazing, but there is annoying attacks coming from off screen, some lock on issues, and levels are very bland and boring. The action is wild and super hard though.
I came across a really random thing in the PlayStation store today, and for some stupid reason it's still been on my mind several days later. So I figure if I share I might get it out of my system.
While looking at the games that were on sale I saw Felix the Cat. If anyone is not aware, Felix was a cartoon character that was originally created about a hundred years ago. And over the past century, he's shown up in theatrical shorts and on television in various forms. His heyday was probably in the twenties or thirties, but He's never entirely faded away and every couple decades someone gets a hold of the IP and tries to reintroduce the character. The last time this happened that I'm aware of was in the '90s. That brings me back to Felix the Cat, the video game.
Apparently there were some efforts to bring him back, but they were met with a lot of stuttering and false starts. In 1992, a late era NES game was released for Felix, which I believe was supposed to have been paired with an upcoming cartoon. However, the cartoon didn't come to fruition for several more years. It got decent reviews, but between the lack of presence the character had, and the game coming out at a point where most people were moving on to the super Nintendo, the Felix The Cat video game was largely ignored. Interestingly, it does fetch a pretty nice price on the collector's market today.
For reasons, I'm not entirely sure about, limited run games, decided they needed to remaster the NES game, and so about a year ago they made it available for the switch, PS4, and probably any other system out there. They also included the Game Boy version of it, and as you do with most older games, they include a few quality of life features like rewind.
They also wanted $25 for it. $25 for a single remastered NES game and Game Boy game, which is in fact pretty much the identical game, just without a color palette. Who the hell thinks they're going to get $25 for in a Nes game these days? Limited run games has a tendency to overcharge for their physical releases, which I can't blame them for since there can't be a huge profit margin for what they do, but for a digital release? $25? What the hell are they smoking?
Yeah, if the GKC version is cheaper I’d probably go with that as well. Do like having something physical for the collection.
Didn’t do that much gaming this weekend but what gaming I did do was Dragon Quest I HD-2D Remake.
Explored a mansion with Luigi this weekend.

What a cool game that was at the time.

I am putting up my SHf review, really enjoyed it.
I needed a game to play while watching tv. So I booted up MK world.
They updated the map, it now shows all the locations for P switches and ? Blocks.
Should be fun hunting these down.
Im not sure if the map differentiates between P switch challenges you have already done though.
I will have to check later. Otherwise it could feel annoying driving to switches already done.

You can also immediately warp to any P switch to do the challenge.
