Near the final boss in Metroid Dread. Great fun but I'm getting weary of the Chozo soldiers.

The mega bomb thing doesn't seem to affect them at all either.

Did you guys get your Nintendo final year email?

It says I played 95 games for a total of 1255 hours.

660 hours of that was Snowrunner.
140 hours on Octopath 2
140 hours Ace Attorney Apollo Justice trilogy

They do a month by month tally and Snowrunner and Ace Attorney took up like 4 months each.

I always, optimistically bring way too much content to consume on holidays (and then barely touch it).  I have a 10 inch stack of gaming magazines to read on this holiday, I am making good progress, read 4 of them cover to cover so far.

What part of Texas if you don't mind my asking?

I'm in College Station. It's where Texas A&M University is. Other than that, not the most exciting part of the state.

Go Aggies.

I did the opposite for my plane ride this week. I chose a book that I've been meaning to get around to and left the Switch consoles at home to avoid any distractions.

Good move. I have been reading American Promethus for what feels like the last 8 months.

My Switch play has been virtually nonexistent this year.

Top 3 games played are all less then an hour.

1. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

2. F-Zero 99

3. Nintendo Entertainment System Online

I checked and clocked a very sane 200 something hours. Non switch gametime was nearly nonexistant this year.

When it says I played 95 games it's because when I buy a cheap game I always check it out for 5 or 10 mins to see what it's like.

My backlog is huge. Games are so cheap on the eshop I buy 5 at a time usually.

Just bought Doom 2016, I held off for ages but the motion controls in Duke Nukem reminded me that gyro controls make everything better.

You guys tried the Kunai demo yet?

You play as a robot Ninja in a metroidvania. I loved the demo and just saw a NWR video review.

They say it rivals Ori and the Blind Forest.

I never received an email. Sad I wonder if I could check via the website?

I return with news:

Akane is this 1 USD arena action game like smash tv but with swords and blood.

It's perfect for just jumping straight into and seeing how far you'll go.

Doom seems decent, I only played it portable so far so it's a bit blurry. Runs well though and motion controls are great.

Still not sold on this push forward gimmick. You basically walk up to every enemy and click the stick for a kill.

I prefer Goldeneye style fps over Doom or COD like gameplay.

Kunai seems excellent so far, they put a lot of care into this game, it's set in the future, you're a robot experiment found by a resistance group. They seem to have gone into the game world to build a tangible sense of setting and lore.

So I'm worried this isn't going to last long, but today I got Dragon Force working on my Saturn emulator. I've been wanting to play this for almost 30 years, so I'm looking forward to finally checking it out.

Haven’t played that since back when it initially came out. Seem to recall enjoying it back then. Been a long time though.

Years ago I saw it listed as one of the best Saturn games ever made, but even just after the console was put out to pasture it was hard to find and super expensive. Very curious to see how well it holds up today.
