2nd Annual NWR Four on Four
Luigi Dude:
I almost did it.
Started the month with finishing Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch, which I purchased Day 1 at the end of March. I actually beat the main game before the end of March, but the first week of April I 100% the rest. Damn this was a great game, easily Top 5 Kirby for me. My Switch file says I played the game for 25 hours so it's a perfect length game as well if you ask me. Doesn't overstay its welcome but has plenty of content, including some decent challenges as well if trying to 100%.
Next I played Fire Emblem Fate: Conquest on the 3DS. I played Birthright back in March and it lasted me for about 2 weeks so I figured I could get it's companion game Conquest done in the same amount of time. Well nope, Conquest is a much much harder game so it ended up taking me 3 weeks to do. Of course it was a much much better game as a result though. I thought Birthright was one of the weaker Fire Emblem games with many of it's levels being the same thing, but Conquest is literally the opposite with almost every level being something different that really makes you think each time. Of course Conquest does get into Bullshit territory with some of it's later levels, and I lost some of my better characters because I was sick of redoing some levels and almost screwed myself from being able to complete the game. I got to the final final level with only a few characters that could actually survive the onslaught of those damn monster enemies and was stuck for a few days trying to figure out what to do. Eventually I sold most of my weapons to buy as many of those permanent and temporary powerups to boast the stats of my best characters and increase the defense of the weaker ones so they wouldn't die in one hit. Then when I got to the endgame level I went on an epic suicide charge doing everything I could to keep my main character who was paired with his wife alive, since he was the strongest and best change of defeating the final boss. Well it worked and I got to the boss with just my main character paired with his wife still alive and a knight paired with another knight for high defense holding the line so the monster horde could got to my main. Started the fight with the boss and my characters stats were good enough to cause enough damage while surviving the bosses attacks on my turn. Then when the boss counterattacked on their turn survived that hit finished the fight.
So yeah that was great. I'll wait a few months before doing Revelations because I was already getting burnt out by the end of Conquest so need to take a Fire Emblem break for now.
So with only 1 day left in April after work on Saturday night, I opened the NES Online app and decided to try an NES game that I hadn't played before and picked Journey to Silius. I knew it was a Sunsoft game that was originally suppose to be a Terminator game that they lost the rights to at the last minute and then reworked into something different so figured this is a good time to try it.
Well I'm glad I did since I ended up liking it. Of course it's a pretty challenging NES title that is filled with a lot of cheap gotcha moments so be warned anyone that wants to play it legit. It also has limited continues so I was being sent back to the start a lot, but I didn't mind since the game was pretty short. When I finally beat the game, the NES Online says it too me over 3 hours to complete it. But when I first made it to the final boss and got a Game Over and had to start from the very beginning, I clocked myself to see how long it would be to get back to the final boss and it only took about 30 minutes to get back their and beat it this time.
So anyone that's a fan of 8-bit action games from that era should certainly give it a shot. It's not top tier quality so I can certainly see why it's not more famous but it was pretty fun once I finally got the hang of things.
So for the month of April I was 3/4, with one Switch game, one 3DS and one NES title. If April was a month with 31 days though then I would have been 4/4, since yesterday which was May 1st, just one day after April 30th, I beat Pyscho Dream for the SNES Online. This game on the other hand I don't have much to say since I thought it was kind of bad. The level design is pretty bland and very repetitive gameplay that doesn't do much to even try and change things up expect for the one auto run level near the end of the game.
Maybe it's a good thing there wasn't an extra day in April since I'd feel kind of dirty having to use this game to make it to 4/4 then.
M.K.Ultra:
Well it was another successful Four on 4 challenge this April. I want to thank everyone for participating and posting. The goal as always is to play games on various systems and then share and we did that. Based on my estimates we collectively beat 14 games and played 30 games across 13 different systems.

I forgot about this until now. Managed to get in 4 on 4 but didn't quite finish Pokémon before the end of April.
1. Seventh Lair PC - Incredible little visual novel, a condensed House in Fata Morgana.
2. Pikmin Wii U - Was surprised at how good Pikmin is, I was hooked and completed it in a matter of days, despite failing my first run
3. Yakuza 4 Remastered PS4 - Playing these in order. Really solid Yakuza entry, the story is the best since Zero I think and trims a lot of the fat.
4. Rhythm Heaven Fever Wii U - Insanely fun party game, though I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't already played Megamix.
5. Triangle Strategy Switch - Combines a bunch of my favourite things all into one game. Tactics, HD2D, branching narrative, visual novel elements.
Triangle Strategy probably being my favourite of the bunch. But every game I finished this month was fire.

Did you have trouble with the last level? I think it is called Remix 10. I could not for the life of me get the superb medal on that one. I would like to blame it on the sensor bar lag, but maybe it is my brain's lag.
TOPHATANT123:
I managed to get a superb on every level which feels like a great achievement. I didn't find remix 10 to be too bad, there is a lot of variety but they picked out relatively easy parts from each of the songs.
The songs that inflicted the most mental damage on me were Love Rap 1 & 2, which even on Japanese took me hours of trying over and over. Along with remix 2, which contains Monkey Watch but without the metronome I was following for regular Monkey Watch.
I really like the music in Love Rap 1, but I don't want to ever need to do a Fo' Sho' or a Honto again
