    On Switch 2 I have been playing Pokemon Scarlet today, I managed to beat my second Titan and I am getting ready to take on my second leader of team star. I am roughly going through the gym, titan and team star paths at the same rate. I am also spending a lot of time getting lost because just like in real life, I have absolutely no sense of direction. I am also playing Breath of Fire 2 but am essentially at the start of that game. On the PS5 I finished the Patrick Star game and am playing Wild Arms 3. With PC I also finished Layers of Fear last night. I return to work on Thursday though so my gaming time will sadly return to normal.

    Finished the story for Age of Calamity so I have gone back to Wind Waker, I also am playing some more of Final Fantasy 3 but it has been a few years since I was playing that on the original Switch so I am not really sure what I am doing. Found a temple I hadn't looted yet, but ran out of magic keys.

    Also I just seen that it comes with a Harpie's Feather Duster card I think it's cool Konami still gives out cards when you buy a Yu-Gi-Oh video game! I remember The Eternal Duelist Soul came with three cards, Exchange, Graceful Dice and Skull Dice. I prefer to get physical games so I'm going to defintely get it in physical form! Anyways I'm still playing Gex 3 via Gex Trilogy. I just need to finish up two levels before going to the last level. One is my favorite level in the entire game, the other one is my least favorite level lol.

    Yep, that is the same reason I went physical with it. My card collection is pretty sporadic and unorganized, but every now and then I like to randomly get some new cards. I haven't played this game for a few days since I beat Pegasus and started cleaning up the 100 wins against each duelist, I might do that before I move onto the 2nd game. Today though I have been playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity just cleaning up some of the side fights before I advance the storyline again, I think I am only in chapter three. I also played a little more Final Fantasy 7 before I went to bed last night.

    I just looked it up and my favorite game, The Eternal Duelist Soul is part of this collection sweet! I'm going to definitely get it, since there's many other games that I didn't get to play. I never played Duel Monsters before, since it came out in 1998 I'm guessing it's not quite based on the trading card game.

    The first one actually came out before the trading card game, so you are correct that it doesn't entirely work how the card game did when it came out. You can only play one card and playing a card isn't optional. Every monster can either be set to def or they have to attack every turn. Aside from turn one when you can't attack. Also the cpu only ever uses monster cards. I think Weevil was the only one I came up against who ever used a monster with an effect and I wasn't able to stop him executing it. Haha each turn he was transforming a monster card on the field through its stages until he got his great moth out which proceeded to destroy me. Awesome that it has your favourite game in the collection! :D

    I never heard of this collection! I'm going to check it out now lol. I loved Yu-Gi-Oh the Eternal Duelists Soul on the GBA, I had it as a kid and got another copy from my Retro Game Treasure subscription and it was tons of fun! I loved adding my own cards to the game. I wish they would allow you to add your own cards to Duel Links, last time I played it you couldn't do that. :V

    I got the title wrong in my post hahaha, it is called Yu Gi Oh: Early Days Collection. I have been making progress with Duel Monsters now that I understand how the card unlocking works. It isn't advanced or anything. Each time you beat a duelist you get a random card from their possible drops. Then there are milestones every 10 wins going up to 100 where you additionally win a specified card. I got Joey up to 100 today to get his Red Eyes Black Dragon. I am now working on Yugi. I think my deck is at a point where I can reliably beat Weevil now but still want to finish off the first 4 duelists getting all their tier drops. If you do end up getting it, I hope you enjoy it! I went physical since it comes with a copy of Harpie's Feather Duster.

    Well it does boot up on a Switch 2 now lol. This is a bug that's in the original game, though Gex Trilogy does emulate the Playstation games so they didn't really patch bugs that were already present in the games lol.

    Ah, when I get it I think I will end up getting it on PS5. So maybe the glitch issue isn't so prevalent for me then. It is a shame when they bring games back and their glitches or bugs also come along to the reunion.


    Not too much has changed. Played a little Mario Kart World, some Wind Waker but also got the Yu Gi Oh Legacy collection today so spent some time playing Duel Monsters. It is one of the originals that I never played myself as my first experiences with it were on GBA on GameBoy. I have already hit my first wall with Weevil. :D:D

    I'm playing Gex Enter the Gecko alongside Gex 3 Deep Cover Gecko via Gex Trilogy. I just got one remote in Gangster Tv My Three Goons in Gex 3, I ran into a glitch where one of the fly coins fell through the floor though so I will need to try and get all the fly coins next time I enter the level.

    I believe you mentioned previously having issues with it. Have they fixed things with it? That glitch you mention in this post doesn't bode well. Especially as I can have pretty bad luck as it is with glitches. :D:D


    I have been playing more Pokemon Scarlet.

    Dragon Quest is a series I've been meaning to play more of. I own the first game Dragon Warrior on the NES lol. I want to see all the Gameboy Pokemon games come to the Nintendo Switch Online service finally lol. Or maybe remakes of some of the older Pokemon games, if they're done right. Brilliant Diamon and Shining Pearl was not that great.

    It is a series I have been meaning to get more into as well, the first one I played was Dragon Quest 11 on PS4. Well mainline one, I think I played Dragon Quest Heroes before that. That is awesome you have it on NES. I think I am way too much of a casual gamer, so I still enjoyed Shinning Pearl. I would be really happy if they had some of the older Pokemon games come to their online service though. I would love both Gameboy and GBA generations to come over.

    I have started playing Wind Waker on Switch 2, it is my first time playing it and I am enjoying it. Even if I am making puzzles much more difficult than they need to be by overthinking them so much or forgetting core mechanics which I typically don't use. Also played a little more of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity since there is a third entry on the way and I haven't finished the campaign of this one yet. And finally Mario Kart World, I finally got first place in a knockout tour in single player and managed to position at least 3rd in every knockout tour stage.

    Yeah I'm definitely going to hold off a bit. I know the battery draining issues wouldn't affect me that much since I would play it docked. Looks like Nintendo is aware of the battery charge indicator has an error displaying the proper battery amount. Here's an article on their website.

    Yes, when I got home I saw a video by BeatEmUps where that was one of the points he mentioned. That is good to hear. As there are particular games and genres that I really love playing in handheld mode and this would lead me to preferring them on Switch 2 over PS5 or PC. Incidentally it is my desire to play games in handheld which pushed me to buy the Switch 2 early as my Switch has issues recognising when Joycons are attached to it now. Which is my prefered way to play out of dock mode.

    Have you noticed any battery draining issues? People over on Reddit have reported that the battery in the Switch 2 tends to drain quickly.

    This is a smart approach! Currently there's been reports that the battery life isn't too great. There could also be backwards compatible issues with Switch 1 games too.

    Yeah, it does seem to drain at quite an alarming rate. Mine dropped down to around 40% in less than 2 hours. I will check tonight how quickly the battery drains.


    Edit: With one hour of playing in handheld mode the battery dropped by 36%. So it does drop pretty fast. I was mostly playing Mario Kart World.

    I got it on launch day and have been pretty happy with it. Haven't played it too much since I am wanting to finish off Dragon Quest 3 on PS5. Possibly could have gotten that on Switch instead considering I only started playing it on the Tuesday before the Switch 2 came out. One concerning thing though is how fast the battery drains, but I only play it at home so that isn't too much of an issue for me. A game I am really looking forward to is Donkey Kong Bananza.

    My wife has been playing this on our PS5! I've been watching her play, she has it on the Switch as well. She's actually playing it as I type this up lol. As for me I'm playing Turok 3 still, I didn't have enough health or ammo to continue playing the save with Joseph so I went ahead and started a new save with Danielle on Oblivion. I am almost done with The Lost Land level.

    Ah nice! Did she play it much on Switch? I have it on Switch too, but stopped playing it when I found out it was also coming to PS5. I managed to get the playable dog last night when I was playing. Unlucky about your Turok 3 play through.

    Now that Vampire Survivors is on PS5, I have been hooked on that. I find it incredibly addictive. Making my way through the base game before I buy any of the DLC, but I plan on working my way through them when I am done. At the moment currently playing through the Adventure mode, as it wasn't in the game when I was playing it on PC.

    Haha yeah, although I had been hearing the rumours around something happening with the trilogy for a little while now. I am still happy to own the physical edition of it on PS2. I am more annoyed that I bought Homefront Revolution earlier this year, simply because it has Timesplitters 2 within it. I haven't tried it yet though, so it might still be worthwhile seeing how it differs. Definitely hoping to make a better shot at finishing the first one as well.
