Magic Knight Rayearth (Saturn) ✅
Really enjoyable adventure game (10-15 hourrs) blending action-RPG combat, dungeons with small puzzles and a bit of platforming.
Combat is fairly simple but works pretty well, each girl has her own powers. Bosses are a mixed bag tho.
Beautiful 2D.

Armature Studio got shut down by Meta.
Founded by Retro Studios devs, they mostly did ports and helped on Fortnite.
They also worked on Recore. I liked it, however the game was (literally) unfinished until the Definitive Edition. Just another great management from Xbox.

My Nintendo 2025 wrap-up
That's already much more time spent on my Switch 2 in six months than on my PS5 in over two years, so no regret selling my PS5 to buy the Switch 2 lol

Finished Dragon Drive: D-Masters Shot on GC, but skipped many cutscenes coz the average shonen story bored me and they take too long compared to gameplay.
Otherwise cool concept, nice OST, but even if we unlock transformations, it's repetitive with not a lot of missions/variety.

Keio Flying Squadron 2 ✅
Short but fun action-platformer on Saturn. Very charming and colourful graphics, and silly story.
There's some jank moments but a nice variety of levels (platforming, shoot'em up, on-rails, underwater...) make up for it. Good surprise overall!

Sexy Parodius ✅
Took me a while to get the good ending. A silly parody of the genre but you can tell the series was made by shoot'em up veterans!
Fun references and music (a lot of classical remixes), gorgeous animations and good replay-value thanks to the objectives/paths.

Sōkyūgurentai ✅
Very good shoot'em up on Saturn, took me a fair amount of tries to beat it. Theres 3 playable characters and another great OST by Hitoshi Sakimoto!
Figured out it was made by the studio which then made Kururin, some Bloody Roar and co-developed Pikmin 4.

Since I'm on a Treasure run, and that I can now use my GC controller on PC, I'm playing Dragon Drive: D-Masters Shot on Gamecube.
Definitely not their most popular title, so I'm curious! It's adapted from the manga and was released only in Japan, but got an english fan-translation.

Completed 3 story runs of Radiant Silvergun in different difficulties.
It's now by far my favourite shoot'em up! A masterfully crafted masterpiece.
It got the whole package: addictive and deep gameplay, rewarding progression, high replay value, amazing bosses, fantastic OST and even a good story!

Got the 8BitDo GBros adapter so I could use my good old Gamecube controller on Dolphin and on my Switch 2
Replaying Doshin kinda made me want to use this controller more again + I enjoy playing games with OG controller.
I don't need better graphics than Gamecube games in HD!

Toshiyuki Itahana left Square Enix and everyone call him "the FFIX character designer" - but he wasn't the designer of the main characters
However he did a lot for the Crystal Chronicles series and was even the director of The Crystal Bearers on Wii, you should play it!

Randomly bought videogames today
Big sales on Bravely Default HD (10€) so it was a great opportunity.
I liked Pikmin 1 and 2 on Gamecube a lot and I really want to play 3 and 4 this year.
And Puyo Puyo Tetris because why not, I like Puyo Puyo, I like Tetris, so what could go wrong?

Did many runs of Guardian Heroes since yesterday, it's super fun to replay with all the different paths, endings, characters, etc.
The versus mode is so chaotic, a sort of precursor to Super Smash Bros.
Overall an incredible game that is now in my top 3 from Treasure!
