Backlaugust 2025 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

<< < (2/11) > >>

RABicle:
Remember, it’s not a competition guys. But I am auditing my collection for games I’ve 90% finished to rack up as many credit screens as possible.

At the moment it’s looking like
Beyond Good and Evil 20th Anniversary Edition
Zelda: The New One You Play as Zelda
And maybe something else. I’ve heard Dear Me is like 40 minutes long. I might bully my partner into playing the rest of that black and white game about the fox and the dead too.

Lemonade:
I can participate again this year.
Currently playing DK Bananza and Enslaved for 360.

Switch backlog
Little Kitty Big City
Stray. I already played this on Pc and Xbox, but I bought the physical on Switch and I want to replay it.
Lego Horizon Adventures

If I can finish all of these games in August, it would be great

broodwars:
At the moment, I'm currently in the final stretches of my Platinum run of the PS4 version of Resident Evil 5, and I'm chipping away at DK Bananza as well. Might get some smaller games knocked out in the meantime as well.

M.K.Ultra:
It is great to see some folks joining in the fun again this year!

I just rolled credits on Sonic CD for the first time. I played this on the Sega Genesis Mini 2. Normally I read through the manual before playing a retro game like this and really should have. There is a rather ambitious mechanic where you can shift to "future" and "past" versions of a level that I still don't quite understand. I think I get the bonus levels, needing 50 rings at the end of the level and then jump in the big ring, but that only happened once for me and did not lead to a chaos emerald. Hats off to anyone that can 100% complete this game.

The audio and visual quality is quite nice here, overshadowing the genesis games, but the level design still suffers from the usual issues. I think this is the first appearance of Amy and Metal Sonic in the games. Definitely recommended for fans of 2D Sonic.

M.K.Ultra:
I completed Monkey Barrels on Switch a couple days ago. This was another short game, though my Switch profile still just says "First played 7 days ago", so I don't have a time estimate from the console, but I would say it took 5-10 hours. This is a twin stick shooter from the fine devs at Good-Feel. Overall the game controls well and has an interesting set with two main weapons, controlled with ZL and ZR, that have periodic cool downs *reloads* and two sub weapons, controlled with L and R, that have limited ammo. There is also a dodge button and manual reload button. For most of the game you can just get by with the basic weapons and no dodging, but the last couple boss battles get really tough and required me to experiment with different weapons and master the dodging. It would of been nice if that was a more gradual ramp up in difficulty but not a big deal.

The story and cut scenes are cute, especially if you like monkeys. I found the graphics during game play to be a little too blocky and blurry for my liking. This is where you can separate the quality of an independent Good-Feel game from a Nintendo supported Good-Feel game. In terms of completion, each regular level has four collectibles that are pretty easy to find so it was not much more work to get all those while playing the first time. There is also an online multiplayer mode but I could not get a game going due to lack of participation. If anyone does want to try this out let me know.

I am wrapping up a big game next and should have that done within the week.
