For what amount of backlogged games would you still buy another game?

Ha. Yeah, I've definitely gotten games when my backlog said I shouldn't.

Yes.

(I don't know I haven't hit my number yet)

not sure really. I mean I have backlogs on other systems. I have some big ones like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Violet, and there are 2 newer games I really want, Crisis Core and Dragon Quest Treasures that I haven't bought yet. And Spark of Life is just not high on my want list.

Backlogs become more like collections, like an action figure you think is cool but never open and play with it.

yes a while back I sold some games off to lower my backlog, but I end up having to buy them again because I actually want to play them. But some games I sell that I'm perfectly fine with never playing again. I've just been buying some 360 and wii games I actually want to play.

It's got that classic River City gameplay, but I feel weird playing it, like playing a barbie game back in the nes days...

Glad they did the demo. After 10 tries or so I couldn't beat the first boss. After the weirdness, easy pass.

Anyone get Dragon Quest Treasures. I'm hearing good things. Impressions?

Got the Oregon Trail remake. I’m really digging it so far. Feels like it has lots of replay value.

I didn't even know there was a remake. I'm assuming it's on eShop?

Yah, I think for $30. I had a small amount of buyer’s remorse for spending that on Oregon Trail of all things, but that feeling has gone away. Having a ton of fun with it.

I need to look into it. A modernized Oregon Trail could be a lot of fun. I'd definitely be waiting for a sale though lol

Wait, that was released already? Had no idea. It caught my attention awhile back after it was announced. I had been enjoying the Dragon Quest Builders spin off and was wondering what Treasures would be like.

Year in review page is up again:

I was thinking the same exact thing, but couldn't remember what was different in the past.

My #2 game this year was apparently smash bros despite me not playing it at all this year.

Then I remembered the conventions where my switch was used and Smash running throughout the weekend

Yeah, I was kinda surprised how balanced it was.

Mega Man Battle Network Collection releases on April 14:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12d_CojLnDA

1. Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga
2. DBZ Kakarot
3. Switch Sports

I guess most of my play time was earlier in the year.

I haven't gone online with my switch in quite awhile, so the results I got from year in review aren't so accurate.

But what I got was:

1. Hades
2. Kirby Star Allies
3. Minecraft Dungeons

Hades is definitely most played for this year for me. 100-200 hours. Great game.

Really enjoyed Kirby.

Hades... I bought it physical when it sold out nearly everywhere. Never opened it. Nearly bought it digital on sale, but felt that would be stupid for a game I've never played in a genre I've never really played enough to say I'm a fan.

@KCPenguins Prior to playing Hades, I hadn't played many games in the Rogue genre. Slay the Spire was one. Liked it. Decided to give Hades a try. Glad I did.

I bought Hades at launch but haven’t played it in forever. Really need to get back to it. I picked up a physical copy from GameStop for $8, thanks to gift certificates.

Alex Kidd $10 on Amazon if anyone is interested:

some good games

As far as what's different, I don't see hours played. Which is fine, because I'll never beat my high a few years back since I play all my different consoles now. I think I had 2400 hours or something like that a few years back.

Dang $59.99 - fair for what you get but was hoping for cheaper even though I didn't expect it

Waiting to see if the physical release has half the games on cart and the other half with a voucher like with the other MM collections

It’s been confirmed that all games are on cart. Zero/ZX Collection also had them all on cart.

BloodPuppetX wrote:

Nice, i'll probably try to wait for a price drop on it, but not a bad price for the amount of games you get and the playtime

I bought most of them on Wii U VC about a week before they announced the collection.

Still going to get it once it hits the $40 price point though

We need a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance bundle to be released for the switch next

I'm seeking to get a schmup - I'm down to either Crimzon Clover or waiting til tomorrow for Akai Kitana, anyone have any input on this? I never played Akai Kitana, and honestly haven't solidly played a schmup in a long time, but really craving it lately once I discovered a bunch through Yurukill.
