Hello Everyone!

Finally got my Dual Sense back from repair! So, spent most of my time this week on PS5 instead of Switch. Though, I did start a new game on Switch. 😀

Cleared the Water world in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Going to play the next one now.
Started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy. Playing the first game, and it's so much fun. Having a blast.
Still playing Dragon Quest XI, not much to mention here, except didn't give it as much time this week. I should've started this on Switch, but since it's free on PS+, playing it there. Problem is, you can't just save the game anywhere, I only play it when I know I won't be distracted midway, which isn't that easy with kids, and when I do have time like that, I want to play Monster Hunter, cause that game also has the same problem. Last I played I was mid-way in dungeon, but had to zoom back to last camp so that I could save and quit. Would have to play that half-dungeon again.
Finally beat Pink Rathian in Monster Hunter: World, beat it solo, after dieing some 6-7 times. Finally beating a monster you've been stuck on for a while feels very rewarding, which is probably why I have spent most of my time playing MH:W after beating Pink Rathian. After grinding for better equipment, and tracking the tracks, have reached the part where you fight Nergigante. Didn't know you can't capture Elder Dragons, which got me killed, but was so close. Should be able to beat him next time.

That's all about me. What about you guys? What have you been playing?

As a fan of the Ace Attorney series, the whole series is amazing. Great writing (including the localization), music, characters and sprite work/art throughout. Have fun with it!

I've been busy with other things this week so didn't play much. Got through the forest but haven't claimed the Master Sword yet in TotK. I hope it's not too spoilery to say that you really need to build up your stamina to get it, but even with all the shrine hunting I've been doing I didn't have enough (I was remembering BotW where you needed a lot of health and built that up instead) so now I'm doing even MORE shrine hunting. (I could use a certain thing to trade but I don't want to do that, I want to do it "legit".) Fortunately I should only need three more shrines (one more stamina vessel) to have enough so it's possible I'll be able to do it this weekend.

Yeah, the writing in Ace Attorney is really good. At least in the first one, haven't played any of the rest yet. 😀

Good luck with TotK, not much remaining after that. You would be soon coming face to face with the big bad. Have fun!
