It's the weekend again! Thank goodness! As per usual, here is the weekly open thread, for us to talk about whatever we like, especially video games.
I ended up buying the Switch 2 update for Xenoblade Chronicles X. That 60fps is just too tempting. Also looking forward to getting into the full version of Blaze of Storm this weekend!
How about y'all?
I finally got one of the Toaplan Collections for Switch (Vol. 1).
5 of the 8 games are new to me. The 3 that I knew already (Batsugun, Out Zone, FixEight) are the ones I've been playing the least. The one I that was excited to try, Dogyuun, is cool but not as cool as the 4 more classic offerings.
I turn it on everyday and make 3 or 4 attempts at each of the remaining games.
There are currently too many interesting shooters on sale as well...
