I'm playing Yoshi's Island on the GBA. I completed the game many years back but now I want to see if I can do it all over again in a new save file.

The Manga Works (Switch) - I decided to try this little indie game by Kairosoft the other week and playing it now and then. It's a cute, and kinda hard, little strategy game. A little addicting too.

That's out now? Cool! I've been wanting to play that since I heard about it.

I just finished this REALLY old gameboy game called Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite. Ahh, my childhood...

Wanting to play the original but it's locked out and requires you to beat the second one before you can play the original :(

That... doesn't really sound logical at all. Since I don't know about that game series, is the second game at least a prequel to kinda justify this?

Which version?

Switch version.

also i just finished Ys VIII and i recommend it to just about any JRPG fan! it's grindy (honestly if you've been playing JRPGs for a while you should be used to this) but at the end of the day it's really rewarding and the combat is super fun. n.n

gonna be playing DQXI S next!

Still playing Super Mario RPG. I've just gotten to Bowser's Keep.

I've really loved playing with a Mario-Mallow-Geno party comp so far. For normal enemies I give Mallow the Feather and give Geno the Scrooge Ring. With the Feather, Mallow can use an AoE immediately, which typically takes everything out in one hit. Then, if there's anything strong enough to survive the AoE, I can just Geno Whirl it. (The timing on Geno Whirl has surprised me, in that it's actually very easy to pull off once you know when you're supposed to hit it.)

For bosses, I swap whatever accessory gives the best stat boosts onto Geno so I can give the Scrooge Ring to Mallow. Geno can use Geno Boost immediately on whichever ally has the boss' weakness, then I typically just have him use physical attacks for the rest of the battle. Mallow usually has at least one elemental attack that bosses are weak to, and he uses his magic attacks far more than his physical anyway, so halving the amount of FP he uses during boss fights has worked very well for me.

I know there's more optimal setups, but it's very fun, and the game isn't too difficult so I'm not burnt up about it :V

(I have of course switched Mallow out for Bowser now that we're in Bowser's Keep tho, I feel like I owe it to the guy since he hasn't been home in weeks lol)

I finished Super Mario RPG earlier today. Had a lot of fun with it, will definitely come back to it in the future. I really started to dig into a lot of different battle strategies towards the end there. Going into it I thought the game wouldn't have much replay value, but I've definitely changed my mind on that.

Now I've picked Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle up again, after leaving it unfinished for about a year and a half. I needed something that I could complete in the next couple days & scratched that strategy game itch without buying a new game.

I was worried relearning the mechanics would take awhile, but it was pretty easy to jump back into. I'm just before the seventh chapter of the third world, and from what I understand there's not much left to go. It'll be really nice to finally scratch that off the list of games I bought and never finished despite having tons of fun with them :V

Monster Hunter World: At this point I'm mainly juggling between slaying Rathalos after Rathalos after Azure Rathalos looking for enough Rathalos Gems to fill up every weapon I'm looking to upgrade (only 2 to go!), as well as every now and then swapping into various other monsters to build up research level on to keep things from getting too monotonous just killing two varieties of a practically identical monster over and over. The game wants me to go hunt Nergigante, but like, that guy can wait. I've got weapons to upgrade and research levels to increase.

Dragon Quest XIS (Switch) - As of now, I have finally beaten this game. Or at least the main portion. There's actually a hefty amount of post-end game content, to the point where the game hasn't really "ended" at all. But I've succeeded in clearing what is the game's second act.

Monster Hunter World: Got all of those Rathalos Rubies I needed. I was trying to open up all the optional 6-star quests before really moving on, but the only ones left were the special arena quests and no matter how many monsters I captured the quests refused to pop up so I just gave up on that. Now it's just boosting research levels on: Diablos, Dodogama, Lavasioth, Uragaan, and Black Diablos.

Terraria: I'm not sure exactly what though prompted me to try it, but I decided to see how many of the bosses I'd fought so far I'd be able to take in Expert Mode. Answer: Most of them actually! My latest boss victory is against Duke Fishron, and he was the only one I flubbed at, and even that was only right at the end where he goes so insane that I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to dodge that. I did get a Worm Scarf though, which I'd actually forgotten was a thing and it's an insanely good piece of gear. Straight 17% damage reduction is quite the bonus and honestly worth using at any point in the game. Anyway the thing I'm actually really putting effort into is getting the last couple drops from Fishron, Flairon (insanely good melee weapon that I really want) and the Bubble Gun (pretty shitty all things considered and only really after it for completion purposes). It's... Taking a while, given how uncommon truffle worms tend to be.

Fire Emblem Heroes, finally got both Ced and Shannan from the Heir of Light banner, got even more lucky when I pulled two Shannan's from the two available red orbs. Now I'm just waiting for the Tempest Trials event so I can get Itsuki from the upcoming TMS event. (hopefully Yashiro can be added later on in a future event)

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore (switch), playing through the game again so I'm happy I can finally play this portable now. Playing on hard mode first and currently on Ch.1 after finishing the prologue last night. Itsuki, Tsubasa, and Touma are level 12 right now and mastered the few weapons you get for them early on, except Itsuki's and Chrom's Epee sword which I just got not too long ago. Now I have to go back through the illusory Shibuya 106 area, I know there's a quest from a Mirage on the 5th floor that I'll do quickly before I progress.

If it's the DS version I recommend that you focus on the bottom screen and let the AI act on its own. Of course, having healing pins on hand is a life-saver. Can't help you if its the mobile or Switch versions, though.
