17 years on, Okami is still one of the best.

Been slowly picking away at Blue Reflection Second Light. It’s nice and chill, and neat that the first game’s subtext of girls love isn’t subtext anymore.

Also been playing some Gundam EXVS Maxiboost On with a friend. Slowly getting our bearings and it’s neat how every session our play improves, as does our coordination.

Heck yeah, they’re so good!

I’ve got A Certain Magical Virtual-On on my Vita. I know many people weren’t keen on it but I thought they did a pretty good job making it smooth on there! I don’t think I saw it was on PS4 (I assume) but may have to get my hands on that.

I got my friend who wrote the linked post to pick up Masterpiece, so we’ve been playing that a bunch.

Yeah a local theatre was my first experience with it as well (and Sonic the Fighters next to it)! Far as I know all the cabs for it had the twin stick setup as that’s integral to the experience.

I was so frustrated the Masterpiece collection didn’t release outside of Japan, but at least it’s easy enough to get a copy of it, and it’s frequently on sale digitally. Just makes it harder to play with folks who aren’t already into it.

It’s pretty inconsistent with my friend groups, but most frequently revolves around either Apex Legends or a mix of fighting games, currently Street Fighter 6. Monster Hunter often enters the rotation, as well as other cooperative games.

I’ve been trying to get folks to play Omega Strikers with me but have had little luck so far, nor have I really had the time to really get into it and get very comfortable with all the mechanics.
