This kind of episode is always great. Not just regurgitated news like some other podcasts, but some very entertaining and interesting discussion along the way.
Gui mentioned me in this episode with a quote about Dinkum having snow, but I think it was actually Rabicle who said that on the discord

Finished Stray just in time for the end of August. Thats now the third time I have played through it since it originally launched on PC. I love it. The Switch version obviously doesnt look as good as the Series X version, but on Switch 2, it runs great.
Besides the cute cat, I just really like the world design of the game. Its kind of post apocalyptic, but things look cool with neon lights in the city, or creepily lit underground sections, or gross infected parts you have to run through.
It has interesting characters too with all the robots you meet. Its a good story too. Overall great adventure of making your way to the outside of the bunker.

I just learned that there is a physical version of the game through Fangamer so I deleted it from my wishlist and plan on picking that up next month.
Yes, I actually preordered it on Fangamer and then later learned that they also published it physically in Australia too. So I could have just preordered it at EB, instead of importing it.

Finished Little Kitty Big City, or at least the main objective and some side stuff. The game is extremely cute. Its fun to run around as a cat and collect things. Im glad its short though, it could easily overstay its welcome. Overall as a game though, I liked it less than Stray. I will probably go back to it later this year after that update is released that was shown in the Indie World video a few weeks ago.
Im now going to replay Stray, but the Switch version. I have already played through the game on PC and Xbox when those versions were new.

i Played more ReRunner since my last post. I finished the Runner 1 remake levels. Runner 1 doesnt get that hard until the last few levels. I turned checkpoints on for those. Back in Wii, I remember the final boss level being very hard and it took me so many attempts over several play sessions. This time I beat if fairly easily with checkpoints. I immediately turned off checkpoints and did it again without too much of an issue. I dont know if the remake made it easier somehow, or if I just got better at the game.
I played through all the bonus levels, except for the Runner 1 "retro" levels, which I dont like very much, partly because they have no music.
The other bonus levels are really good. There is one level for each track of music in Runner 2 and 3. There are also three levels each for the other Bit Trip games with music from those.
The final level in the Runner 3 bonus levels is insane. Its the most difficult level in the game, not including the onljne sharing ones. It took me many so attempts to play through it, I think it would be impossible without checkpoints. There is a clip of it here when I finally got through part of it

Next, its time to finally start Little Kitty Big City.

I finished the main part of Bit Trip ReRunner. It is great. As I said before, it is very similar to the original game.
The biggest change is the levels now have optional checkpoints, which makes the game significantly easier. I had checkpoints turned off except for the boss levels
Like the other Runner games, I find it very satisfying to play, even though it is difficult. There is just something about the pace/rhythm of the platforming that just really works for me.
Difficulty overall is a bit less than the original game, but higher than 2 and 3.
There is a video of the final level here https://bsky.app/profile/lvaneede.bsky.social/post/3lwvylhxhhk2e
It includes a remake of the original game, so I will play through that now. There are a bunch of other bonus levels too, but I might not bother playing all of them.
There is also a online mode for downloading levels people have made with the level creator, but I havent looked at that yet.

Finished Enslaved Odyssey to the West. I really enjoyed it, definitely my kind of action game. I liked the story and characters too.
The game is 15 years old and definitely dated. The platforming and combat was quite janky, but it was fun. The combat was kind of annoying to start with, but after I unlocked some more abilities, it got better and easier.
Next game to play is Bit Trip ReRunner. It launched on PC in 2023, but I didnt find out until a few days ago that it launched on Xbox last year. I have played some of it already. Its kind if half remake and half sequel to the original Bit Trip Runner game on WiiWare. Im really enjoying it so far.

I listened to the old spoilercast and then this new one. They are both great. They make a nice double episode.
Im surprised John didn't want to play it again on Switch. He liked it on Wii U. It is a big time commitment though, so I guess thats why.

I also finished Bananza. It was good overall. It has some good moments and some boring moments and some mind blowing moments towards the end.
I liked it for the main quest. I wasnt interested in hunting for bananas. Eventually I also lost interest in the challenge rooms too.
It gets surprisingly difficult near the end with the boss battles.
I finished it with 254 bananas.

I liked the backlog discussion. in 2023 and 2024 I slowly worked through my 3DS and DS backlog. Most of it were games I had bought when the 3DS eShop was closing down and some other DS games I had bought at retro game shops.
This included games like The Starship Damrey, Dillon's Rolling Western, Severed, Weapon Shop de Omasse, Senran Kagura Burst, Super Princess Peach, 3D Space tank/X-scape, Chibi Robo Park patrol and more.
My method was basically just start whatever game I was most interested in at the time. Give it at least a good go to really work out if I liked it or not. If I do like it, keep playing and try to finish it. If I dont like it, quit it and move onto whatever games most interests me next.
I think it worked out very well and the backlog has now been cleared.
Soon, I intend to start on the Wii/Wii U backlog of stuff I bought when the eShop was closing.
