About halfway through chapter 6 in Ys IX: Monstrum Nox.

Unlocked all chracters (at least from what I can see) and starting to learn what's happening in the story.

Played some more of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Reached World 5. The game is pretty generous with bonuses (at least in the modern mode, don't remember what they called it), have about 60 lives. Though I had reached 70+ lives and have come down from there, so the game is definitely getting more difficult.

For some reason I always though you can play with all the Kongs, like Diddy and Dixie too, but you can't do that. Still, the added health and increased jump range helps when you have the second Kong with you.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I'm really looking forward to playing Earthion. I'm waiting for its physical release on the Mega Drive to get it! (hopefully comes out this year... )

Sega Mega Drive? It's coming out on that?

Yeah, they initially wanted to release it together with modern systems. But since they can't patch it once it's out, they decided to take some time to make sure it's in a good state to release it. I think the last I read was on Retro Gamer magazine where they said there's plans to release the cartridge in 2026.
