For some reason I thought this was going to be on other consoles. I guess not! Thanks Ahr Ech/Garbae! [Xmas '23]

Super Mario RPG
Pretty excited for this one! I'm trying to figure out why the game feels so shallow, and I think it has to do with the 4:3 to 16:9 shift.

Jumped in with Djangy for a handful of stages; and then played with a coworker for a night, almost finishing it.

Definitely a little rough around the edges. There's a lot of coin farming to be done and not quite a stable enough mini game set to do it. Songs are good. Some of the stage designs are fun. The game is really lacking polish in some areas, though.

Stuck in my own little hole trying to catch a Pachirisu with a mark from the first area. A little over 30 Pachirisu in and no luck yet.

This game is really ambitious and pretty clever. Kind of reminds me of the aspirations of Karateka. Quite a remarkable open stage in Story mode, but the load times are irritating. Oh, and getting the good ending is pretty obnoxious.
Picked up at Luna Games with a birthday gift certificate from Jevisenespoir Q1 '22. Forgot I didn't have this yet!

Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Having a good time so far; the patch to fix shiny farming threw a wrench in the works, though. No shiny Pachirisu yet.

A little different from the other Tokimeki Puzzle Dama Taisen game; this one has cursor-based movement and you can hold one piece at a time. The chain mechanics and set up get a little more ridiculous.
Picked up at the Retro City Festival '19. I had passed by these games a few times before, but figured my Tokimeki collection can expand now.

This experience needs some quality of life. Why is this game so punishing? Need to get Master on the 4 stages for True End.

There are a few things that I feel would improve the experience:
1. Clear indication of where leaks have sprung.
2. Fixing piece alignment so they don't taper on the ground graphically.
3. Consistent piece width; why Os are two wide and T/L/Is are 3 is beyond me.
4. Rebalance Earthquake and Drain penalties. The player lacks corrective agency.
5. HELPFUL cam angles.

I finally got a Meteor B. Dragon from Meadow Mage after 238 wins. It made the end of the game a LOT easier.
It gives you a secret code when you beat the game? Did I keep mine?

Yes, I would like more Kirby. Thank you for asking.

I feel that giving movement another plane of depth limits the movesets for abilities. That said, the game still looks brilliant and is full of detail and charm.

A simple gameplay cycle; Travel to planet, catch fish, use fish as bait to attract new fish, return to base to sell fish, buy upgrades/perks, repeat. Definitely fun due to the reel and waggle gimmicks, and relaxing due to the repetitive nature of fishing and completing the encyclopedia.
Music is pretty good and has a wide range. Saw an Ape Escape 2 enemy cameo early on; I wonder if other familiar faces will appear.

I didn't realize that the base game didn't have this Ver.2 content. I'm learning a little more about the game this way. Kinda wish there was more room for items at the bank, but I'll manage somehow.
