What are you playing?

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

Got any fun games you're currently busy with?

I'm enjoying Resident Evil 7 quite a bit. Very good atmosphere and refreshing compared to the IMO very weak 5 andf 6. Also, I'm playing NHL 95 on the SNES. Got to love those old games.

Hehe, coincidentally, 1995 was my country's first time as a World Champion in Ice Hockey.

Final Fantasy XIII-2, this time in its original language. I've beaten it in English before. Sometimes trying to get the remaining stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2. As for the handheld, occasional Pokemon Moon.

I also have a new friend with whom I started playing Super Mario 64 in turns. If Mario dies or gets a star, it's a player switch. Then there's Future Cop L.A.P.D. for PSX which I play with another friend.

In my case, there is not much to mention. Since I had to sell all my consoles and games in the past, now that I am economically stable, I'm getting back to the games I used to have. Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Pokemon Y are two of those games at the moment.

Finland's been great a hockey for a while now.

I should play Mario 64 again for a change, it's been ages for me.

You can't go wrong with Pokémon. Animal Crossing is fun too but I never got really hooked on the series.

I just beat The Last Of Us Remastered last week. With that out the way, I don't really have any games to play at the moment.

I often like to play Atomic Bomberman on my computer. When it comes to the Bomberman games, this one is clearly a cut above the rest, with its custom levels, animations, music and sound. Though some of the sounds are offensive (in some you can hear the F word), the techno-like music rocks, IMO anyway. Of course, anyone who plays this game might feel a bit of emotional pain if their Bomberman dies in a match and makes the die sound (which sounds like an agonizing cry) instead of the scream sound. It's good for laughs though (case in point, when playing one of the levels full of skulls, sometimes it's helpful to pass a "disease" to another Bomberman if your Bomberman gets one himself).

I never even heard of that one before. I'll be getting Bomberman R on the Switch though. The Bomberman series never caught on here I think.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Bomberman World for PSX is an excellent multiplayer. You can challenge up to 4 friends for it. I have a Multi-tap and made some great friends by playing it.

Bomberman games are really good.

I mentioned Atomic Bomberman in a couple of my Whack-A-TPMer posts (and man, do I miss that game); don't know if you remember that game but it was in GGG. The game is exclusively multiplayer, though there's also a secret campaign mode that gives it more of a classic feel (though the enemies are replaced by a ghost reminiscent of the ghosts in the Pac-Man games, and sometimes other Bombermen appear in campaign mode as opponents).

I did everything there is to do in Sun. Now that the bank has been updated, I could transfer over all my pokemon from Y but I just don't feel like it at the moment.

Why not hunt for your favorite shinies Fett? Shiny hunting is easier on this last gen.

There seems to be a Legend of Zelda sale at the eShop soon, so I'm wondering which one should I buy. I'm fond of Link's Awakening since it was my first Zelda game, but I could aim for OoT or maybe OoA/OoS since it is cool to continue from one game to the next. What do you think guys? Suggestions/Thoughts?

I don't have the patience for that.

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

I don't have the patience for that.

I never found a single in-game shiny in any game ever.

If you can only afford one of the games, you should get Link's Awakening (it's not too hard). But if you can afford more than one game, you should try getting both OoA and OoS (trust me, you might regret getting only one of these two instead of both).

[Shadow Wolf]

I actually played and beat them all three in the past, so I love them all. Hence why I find it so hard to choose.

Did you level all your Pokémon to level 100, Fett One?

[Fett One]

Did you level all your Pokémon to level 100, Fett One?

The six in my main team are at 100. The rest are not. I just don't have the patience to get every single pokemon to 100.

[Link]

So, you didn't do everything in Sun. Thanks for agreeing with me.

[ChobiChibi]

If anyone has the time to level every single Pokemon to 100, I'd suggest they're either cheating or need to rethink some priorities.

[Link]

You cheat to level Pokémon to 100? Then why do the games have a max time of 999.59 hours, and I have like 150 level 100 Pokémon in Alpha Sapphire without cheating?

[ChobiChibi]

Some people use other software to create Pokemon. Not saying you do, just know people that do.

Rethink priorities, I agree. There must be something else in life besides just playing Pokemon videogames. And I know what that "something else" is. Playing other videogames.

lol @ playing videogames other than Pokémon on a site that is only about Pokémon.

I'm sure you play other stuff too. =P

[CaptainJigglypuff]

Pokémon Sun, Moon, and Ruby, Lego Dimensions, Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, and LA Noir..

[Link]

I do play other stuff too, yet, I play the Pokemon games the most by far.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

The question would have been invalid if we all were just playing Pokemon.

Since it's going to be awhile until the next game I want to get comes out I decided this was as good a time as any to give Tomb Raider a try so I just purchased Definite Edition and Rise of the Tomb Raider off Amazon.

[Knight of Time]

This may surprise some of you guys...these days I'm playing a few SNES and Sega Genesis games while using my Retrode2 (if there's anyone here who likes playing a SNES or Sega Genesis game on an emulator but want to get the save data onto the cartridge, this device will let you do that and more. It's main selling point however, is the ability to play just about any SNES or Sega Genesis game cartridge on the computer through an emulator, though some games are unfortunately incompatible, like SNES games that possess a special chip (*cough* Super Mario RPG *cough*)). So far it allowed me to get a save of Super Mario All-Stars directly onto the cartridge from my computer.

As for Sega Genesis games, the only game I have for the system with a save feature is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (I also have Sonic & Knuckles, so I can combine the two to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles), but I have a question. If I get a "Clear" on any of the Sonic 3 save files while the game is played alone (presuming I played Sonic 3 alone and didn't play Sonic 3 & Knuckles yet), then I play Sonic 3 & Knuckles, would those save files be at Zone 7 (Mushroom Hill Zone) in the latter? If I could find a "clear" save of Sonic 3 alone (since I unfortunately lost all my saves in Sonic 3/Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but still restarted Sonic 3 alone) somewhere on the internet, it would definitely save me some time.

Edit: Now that I'm playing Sonic 3 & Knuckles, as it turns out, I found the answer to my question above (recently, I got 6 "clear" saves in Sonic 3 alone where I got all the Chaos Emeralds (2 as Sonic, 2 as Sonic with Tails, and 2 as Tails), and when I started up Sonic 3 & Knuckles, those six saves were all at Mushroom Hill Zone, while the last two save slots of course were empty. I just began one of the empty save slots as Knuckles, and I'm planning to do the same with the other). So yeah, I'm definitely going to have a "spare" of each save on the computer just incase they get erased again on the cartridge(s) by mistake.

I started playing Phoenix Wright - Spirit of Justice last week. Its release went totally under my radar. Making very slow progress though.

Phoenix Wright games are very cool, though I've never played the 3DS versions of the series yet.=/

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

They aren't bad at all though lately they are focusing too much on the story and not enough on the courtroom action IMO.

[Fett One]

I beat Tomb Raider. I thought the story line was good.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Rise of the Tom Raider. At first I wasn't too crazy about having to craft items but I eventually got use to it. Crafting aside, I've been enjoying it so far.

[Knight of Time]

Well, believe it or not, I've taken a trip down memory lane...Pokemon memory lane that is.

These days I'm playing Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal (not sure if any of you knew about this, but I have a copy of Pokemon Silver again after buying another copy of the game to replace the copy I lost around 15 years ago)...been playing through each game from the beginning, and so far I got the first two badges in Gold and Silver, and I'm almost ready to get the second badge in Crystal.

So yeah, I'm feeling pretty nostalgic these days.
