I wish the play times on these were more accurate, as I know I played both Trails in the Sky and Ys VIII more than 60 hours.
Unsurprisingly lots of rpgs for me. Will probably be more of the same in 2026

The PS4 pickups train isn't stopping anytime soon. Also, some PS Vita games that I've been eying for a while.

Another RPG for the Switch collection. The SaGa games are a bit different compared to other turn-based RPGs, but I do enjoy them.
Also, the DS4 controller that came with my PS4, had awful stick drift. So, I picked up this refurb for a good price and it's a late 2020 model. Feels like it's new!

Got more PS4 games the last few days. Hunting for PS4 games, has been so much fun. So many bangers for incredibly cheap prices. Collecting for PS4 in 2025, reminds me a lot of collecting for 3DS from 2017 to 2019. Then everyone was interested in Switch and 3DS was an after thought.

While, I absolutely love my handhelds & Switch, I felt like something was missing from my collection. The PS5 and Switch 2 is a bit too rich for my blood, so I decided to get a PS4 Pro. Absolutely loving the experience so far. The games are so affordable. Best deal in gaming right now imo.

Making my way through the Final Fantasy pixel remasters on Switch.
Final Fantasy I: Interesting to see where it all started, decent game play and overall a nice quick game to get through.
Final Fantasy II: Ambitious and interesting story for a 1980s RPG, absolutely terrible in every other way.

I'm not in a rush to get a Switch 2 now, if ever. But I definitely wanted an upgrade from my original 2017 model. So I got first Switch OLED. Not only that, but I decided to splurge a bit and get the TOTK model.
I'm absolutely loving it. The colors are so vibrant and really pop.

Tonight I finished Ray Gigant on #PSVita. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It's not perfect but the art style of this game is one of the reasons I wanted to collect for the Vita.
It's also the first game I ever trophy hunted and got the platinum trophy for. I'm now hooked on trophy hunting.

Latest Switch pickups. I got these on sale from VGP and Amazon. Closing in on 400 Switch games. I'm also building a nice 3D Gundam action games set, as well as Tales games for the consoles I collect for!

Ray Gigant has been such a blast to play on #PSVita. I remember seeing the sprite work and being blown away. It really is one of the best-looking games on Vita. The cutscene art is also great.

Been playing Ray Gigant on my #PSVita for a few days now, and it's been a blast. The sprites, the music, and the post-apocalyptic story have really come together to make a fantastic game so far. This is one of the games that made me want to get a Vita and it doesn't disappoint.

Watching people replay BOTW & TOTK on Switch 2 made want to as well. But since I don't have one yet, I decided to finally give Immortals Fenyx Rising a play. While not as good as BOTW or TOTK, it's still a really fun game and exploration has been quite fulfilling.

I know I'm 8 years too late to the party, but I'm loving Splatoon 2. The story mode is boring but online is so much fun. Even if I'm absolute trash at it. Gonna finish story mode and mess around with the online a bit more before going to splatoon 3.

This week's #VitaWednesday is: Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution 2 Plus.
After the DS got Civ Rev 1, I was a bit surprised it passed up the 3DS for the Vita. It felt like it would have been a better fit there. Never the less this is a good game and another Korean release with English.

This week's #SwitchSaturday is: Azure Striker Gunvolt Pack.
Inti Creates just announced a trilogy pack release of this series in Japan. These games are the spiritual successors to the Mega Man X/Zero games. They're a bit gimmicky overall, but good games. Definitely grab the trilogy pack if you can.

This week's #3DSThursday is: Pilotwings Resort.
While not a "hidden gem" I think this 3DS launch title is massively underappreciate. With Wuhu Island as the setting, this game really represents my favorite era of Nintendo. It also has a fantastic soundtrack. By far, my favorite 3DS launch title.

Out of all the EastAsiaSoft games that were released for Vita, this definitely has to one of if not the best. I was so surprised that they were able to make it happen. While the game doesn't run that great, it's still incredible it came to Vita.

This week's #VitaWednesday is: Race The Sun.
While this game is a pretty standard endless runner, I absolute love the aesthetic of it. It has a great futuristic look to it while also being very minimalist. It also has a nice subdued soundtrack. Even though it's not flashy, it's still a fun time.

This week's #SwitchSaturday is: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
A few days ago the 3DS celebrated its 14th anniversary. One its first games and my favorite is Super Mario 3D Land. Out of all the Wii-U ports 3D World was my most anticipated and it did not disappoint. My favorite game on Switch.

Over the years, many people have crafted fantastic fan translations for games on 3DS. It's a shame that this game never got a western release but thankfully it has a great fan translation. I've been playing it and it has been a blast.
