Well, this is one of the rare weeks where I am not playing anything on Nintendo consoles (well, just Switch, in my case).

Finished Remnant: From the Ashes. Really liked the game, and they say Remnant 2 is even better. So, adding that to my wishlist.

After finishing Remnant, I was feeling like playing some action oriented game, so instead of going back to my paused games, started going through my backlog to see what clicks and ended up starting Ghost of Tsushima. It's a really good game. Visuals are fantastic, game looks absolutely stunning. Combat is fluid. And on PS5, there are no loading screens. Not when starting the game, or when fast traveling. Feels nice.

What about all of you? What have you guys been playing? And what are you planning to start next?

I'm American and on vacation in Japan. The dollar is so strong currently that it's about $35 per game (or less if you get tax free ones) rather than $60/70. I haven't played them yet, but I grabbed Splatoon 3, Mario 3D World, and Mario Kart 8 (which I own for Wii U but at this price... I can justify it lol). I'm excited to play on the plane ride home!

Besides that, just "finished" Pikmin (platinums everywhere, and 100% everything I can think of). It was really good! Much more content than other Pikmin games.

lol, I almost deleted the comment thinking it's spam. Felt like those "earn from home" ads. ๐Ÿ˜€

That's really good. Did you also get some Japan-only stuff? Any collectables etc? Just curious.

Congratulations on finishing Pikmin! Which one are you going to start first?

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha I re read it and I can see that! I'm not spam or selling stuff I swear!

A bunch of non-game collectables. A dope Zelda shirt, some stuff in the Pokemon Center in Osaka (my long time favorite mug for home is this tiny Pikachu one from there like a decade ago and I got another one that's similar!), and wild colored joycons (I had one full die on the plane ride over). Even the plastic part with the strap on it are fun colors, and from Nintendo themselves! They're purple with yellow, orange with green.

Good question! I'm not sure yet. I really don't know anything about Splatoon. It has a solo mode I assume? Mario kart will come in waves for me I think

[โ€“] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Hey, if you want to sell any of that cool stuff, I won't mind. ๐Ÿ˜€ That's a nice list of stuff, and those JoyCon sound pretty cool!

Good luck!

Oh man, I loved game hunting in Japan. If you haven't, I'd recommend grabbing some Japan exclusive physicals like Super Robot Wars series, Okami, Final Fantasy & Ace Attorney. There are also a lot of Limited Run releases that have a Japanese/Asia region physical that are tens to hundreds of dollars less than the North American versions.

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ooooo Super Robot Wars would be dope, good call. Any suggestions on stores to find stuff like that?

[โ€“] freebread@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I went to probably every store in Akihabara hahahah. Super Potato is the most iconic chain, not sure what part of Japan you are in.
