I'm sure that I'll probably write more about the Switch 2 as a system in the coming weeks, although maybe I'll relegate it to Monthly Updates as I don't see myself having much of any kind of technical information regarding screen ghosting, 4K visuals, or how the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 compares to a liquid cooled RTX 5090 with 256 GB DDR5 RAM. Right now, I'm only playing Mario Kart World as a Switch 2 exclusive and playing a couple of other digital releases (Car Quest) that I'm not playing on the Switch OLED (see Monday).
I did finish a couple of games and one DLC last month, specifically Fallout 4, Super Mario Wonder, and the Morrowind DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online. I already wrote about Fallout 4 last week, and I'm not sure if I'll write about the other two in a typical Game EXP article. And it's not from not enjoying either, but Super Mario Wonder was strange in that I played it a lot with The Squire, both in single player and couch co-op. Sometimes he'll want me to play as Blue Yoshi in single player if he's having a hard time, because that's his favorite color and because Yoshi is nearly invulnerable. At other times, when we play co-op, he'll want to play in a silly way that isn't really conducive to making progress, and he always wants to choose which level to play, which again doesn't always lead to progress. For the Morrowind DLC, I spent probably around 150 hours in Vvardenfell, and while I loved returning to that inner island during the 2nd Era, I don't really know what I would write about.
Back on the Switch OLED, I'm jumping back into Triangle Strategy since I'm somewhat self-relegated to playing only physical game cartridges and Virtual Console titles (see Monday). I was surprised and relieved that I hadn't left off where I thought I had, in a difficult story battle, but instead in the middle of a level-grinding battle. I think when I finish this game, I'll look up a flow chart to see how the different paths and choices affect the game, because right now, our group is doing about as poorly story-wise as you could expect. Our duchy has been framed and blackmailed, we've lost multiple attempts to sway a court in our favor, and our region has essentially been taken over by a hypocritical and morally corrupt official from an overly religious kingdom. I'm really hoping there'll be some positive resolution, and I didn't just accidentally make ALL BAD CHOICES.
With the recent trailer release of Resident Evil: Requiem, I decided to jump back into my chronological Resident Evil journey and started the 3rd-person action shooter with some horror elements, Resident Evil 6, on the Steam Deck. It doesn't quite replace Fallout 4 as an easy game to jump into and out of, as I found out that reaching checkpoints is not the same as saving, and saving is only done by the game at specific times. As a winddown game, I'm also playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, as in the first Final Fantasy and the only two negative things I have to say about this game (and collection) at the moment are that I don't like that your character can move diagonally, that just feels weird. And two, that the "soundtrack" that comes with the pixel remastered collection seems to only be three songs from the arranged soundtrack; mostly disappointed by this but I guess I shouldn't be surprised otherwise the collection would've been closer to $150.
So that's June going into July.
Oh, and I've got lots of words and thoughts about Trump's billionaire tax break and 12,000,000 less people on Medicaid bill, but I forgot my charger at home (I'm not currently at home) and I don't have to time to research, write, edit and publish a coherent rant about how dumb this bullshit is before my battery dies, so I'll just leave it at that, and you're welcome to further extrapolate at your leisure.
