Well, I started playing Uncharted on Monday (the first one, via the Nathan Drake Collection). I had no idea this game was a decade old already, to me it's one of "Those New Series." x.x;
tis the future goemar. we engage in mind pictures, not video games.

aaaanyway i'm thinking of playing BS Zelda Stone Tablets cuz apparently those guys released a Rom that actually works and was fully translated into english. there's even an english dub of the radio play
Akumajou Succubus (PC) by Libra Heart, a Japanese indie game company. Found it by coincidence on TSR and thought that I could give it a shot.
Currently I'm kid-squiddin' around. I finished the single-player campaign's story, just gotta work on finishing every level with every weapon. Added gameplay value, I guess?

Also replayed Metroid: Fusion recently (still a great game) and been working my way through the original release of Metroid Prime, and not the Wii version for once. I'm personally hoping the original trilogy sees an HD rerelease on the Switch, though the likelihood of that happening is pretty much zilch...
Sounds more likely than a Metroid II remake...
Played through Akumajou Succubus (Castlevania fangame with a busty "Simona Belmonte") like 4 hours ago. Pretty fun game, the ero stuff is ok, but doesn't affect the gameplay. Most of it isn't too detailed anyway as the sprite pics work with a lot of shadow and the sprites itself have a very low resolution.

Nice touch that the final boss room has a wall on the right where you can stock up your heart weapons before the fight. If I remember correctly, the original Castlevania had the same thing going on with stocking up before visiting Dracula. Never beat the two harpies, though (I accidentally glitched them out by fighting one of them before we could reach the boss area and died in the process. This teleported me somehow to the last area).

Also, continues and time are just getting counted, they don't limit how many tries you have or how fast you have to solve a stage. When you reach a new stage or a new subarea of a level, you start from there even if you had a Game Over. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to open the closed doors that appear here and there in the stages.

Ah yes, last but not least: Simona gets pushed back after receiving a hit, like in the original game. Jumping is bit getting used to, because you have to walk over the edge of a platform and THEN jump, so it's not Mario where everything is pixel-perfect. The most difficult part was the final boss phase 2, as this one moves kinda randomly while daggers appear out of nowhere and start chasing you.

All in all, good game and I my first Castlevania-like game that I finished.
If you enjoyed that game then I'd definitely recommend Koumajou Densetsu 1 and 2 (often referred to as Touhouvania) if you haven't tried them yet. They're excellent old school Castlevania styled games with Touhou characters. I know next to nothing about Touhou other than there are some popular bullet hell games featuring them or something, but what I do know is that these are some good Castlevania style games.
Tried out Succubus Hunter, also a Libra Heart game. This time it's a Castlevania clone with Gameboy graphics, the controls are also way better plus you can get all the ero cg while beating the game, you don't have to search for the books to unlock it. The game itself is very easy and can be beaten in like 1 hour.
Just beat Succubus (Japanese version, there is also an English version with different and less appealing cg). Same developer as the other two, also for PC and so easy that you could play through with a blindfold. Total playtime is maybe 30 min. At least they have a stage select so you can get more stuff for the gallery in case you missed something. Also this is the first succubus game where you can resize the window, Akumajou Succubus and Succubus Hunter didn't allow that.
Been playing some Miitopia. Words cannot even begin to explain how lucky I've been with choosing my characters.
Princess Edgeworth, Gumshoe and Wendy Oldbag are just perfect. It's especially entertaining to see Edgeworth say "Tee hee".
Winston Payne wound up being the Dark Lord and Judge/Udgey was the king of Greenhorne.
soul calibur broken destiny's creation mode is a blessing. i wish they'd rerelease it for vita with an updated multiplayer mode.
I find SimCity 2013 somewhere installed on my disk, so I replayed it.
My city is in the red, if you know about what I speak :-).
Finished Expand last night. It's really neat, the obstacles are usually pretty basic to be honest, it's just the controls and perspective that make things difficult and interesting.
I've been playing the Crash N. Sane trilogy recently, I bought it back in July but haven't really had the time to play it until now.
started romping through dragon quest III for SFC. pretty fun to mess around in but i have no idea what the story is or what i'm supposed to do exactly...(yes i'm using a translated rom) xd

i really like being able to select team members and create your own characters like in enix games. are there any others like it besides DQ and FF?
