Just confirmed Xenoblade Chronicles X was preordered: scheduled to arrive Friday after what should be a great week at school.
I’ve apply my time this weekend between the two Octopaths in my life: II is still slow going and Champions of the Continent is perfect for an hour wake-me-up. I finally realized what’s wrong (sort of) with Octopath Traveler II: the battle system is so slow compared to the mobile game. A single battle in an area where I’m properly leveled for takes a couple of minutes on the Switch with every decision made having an important impact. Most of the time, I don’t want to engage my brain!
I also played an ancient game on my old Mac: Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast. I wish that were on Switch!
Finally, I got the itch to play Gradius but did not want to shell out eight bucks with XCX on the way. I played the NES version through Nintendo Switch Online and couldn’t even make it to the first boss. That knocked the wind out of my sails enough to last me until next weekend.
