Also waiting for Xenoblade, I started Xenoblade 3’s DLC last week and finished it this week. It’s not short; I just happened to have Spring Break off of school. My big questions about the series weren’t answered so I spent the last few days watching YouTube explanations of the plot and I think I’m ready for Xenoblade X.

I’m still avoiding Picross S 8 so that I give other games the proper attention they need. Of those games, I pulled Citizen Sleeper out of mothballs and played for an hour today. More than anything, it made me want to break out I Was A Teenage Exocolonist again. Or finally buy Famicom Detective Club: The Smiling Man (or whatever it is called).

I’m continuing on with Octopath Traveler II, inching my way through the story mode. I need to pay closer attention to the battles; the mobile game added an auto-battle mode so I’m very tuned out when I hear the battle music now.

In non-Switch news, I got to play Cabo, a fun card game, with my son today. I’ve been watching a walk-through of the Danganronpa fan game Project: Eden’s Garden. I was yelling at the video as I watched the first execution. I’m over ten hours into the videos now.

Hooray for Picross!

I just looked it up. Wow, that’s a fan translation from back in 2006! The name of the translation was “Comeback Courtroom 3”.

I’m still plugging along in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I’ve inherited all of the DLC heroes now, so I’m just bee-lining toward the ascension quests now. I already have Xenoblade Chronicles X on order, so it’s a matter of time before I give up on the main quest and play the new story DLC to prepare for adventures in New LA.

Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent is still winning the attention battle this week against Octopath Traveler 2. Think that’s mostly because of I want to play Switch, Noah and Mio have first dibs.

Enjoy Ace Attorney 3! I remember playing the translation rom of that before it was announced for release in the US. There was a reveal at the start of the second case where “all of your precious English words have been stolen!” (Or something like that). Then case two was all in Japanese because the translation team was still hard at work. Between the Phoenix Wright franchise and Xenoblade Chronicles X, I’ve never felt bad about rebuying a title. I’m always happy to support great games a second time.
