Yeah pretty much. =U

At least I am back up and going.

Good to see you're back regardless!

Yeah having no internets the worst, glad to see you back though. I got ny bunny character a ref now~

i dont know if you got the reference but that date was dios first appearance and his death

a surge protector is literally like 6$ for a cheap one, better than nothing
id also look into getting a uninterruptible power source if you have a desktop computer

Are you ok yourself?

Yes, I am fine.

oh dear glad your ok

Glad you're alright, I figured you were probably without internet and/or power for a while.

I guess there was still other stuff you could do in the meantime though?

I played through Megaman 4-6, played through Snake Pass, watched some anime DVD's that I got for really cheap. Watched Rio 2, better than Rio 1, but still not anything spectacular.

That's cool, I recently got Rockman X Anniversary Collection 1 and 2. both on physical game card.
And they both fully support English and have the JP and US editions of each game.

Snake Pass is gonna have a physical limited print release for Switch soon, like 4000 copies so I doubt I'll get it, but I'm glad it's getting something.

Rio 1 was alright, I liked how colorful it was, and the villain. Never watched the second one.

Now you too can experience the joy of MMX5, X6 and everyone's favorite X7!

If I can find one I may buy, if not no big deal. Second playthrough of the game was fun, but not as great as the first time.

Rio 2 is okay.

Indeed, oh the horror tales I've heard of Shadow Devil.
The collection itself seems really like though, like the gallery extras and artwork.
Wanna torment yourself by fighting Double and Iris at the same time? You can now.

It's exclusively from one online retailer and with a "once it's gone it's gone" stock window, so it's not something you're gonna find.
But yeah, I'm more interested in a sequel to Snake Pass than buying the same game again.

Not just that but a lot of things. You will get to enjoy "BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!!!"
That's a rather interesting challenge.

Ahh, okay then.
I'm more interested in a physical version of Hollow Knight. That game is too good for JUST $15.

I wanna see that Kangaroo reploid from X7 anyway. :P
Both of the collections have a challenge mode which pits you against two bosses at the same time yet, I haven't tried it yet but it sounds good.
It doesn't include X7 or X8 since they're not 2D. but it also has a new armor for X.

Yeah, and Hollow Knight is getting its final expansion soon. I would really like to get a physical release of that too.
With the current trend of prominent Switch indies getting retail or limited run releases, I would hope it does.

X7 is quite a thing. =P
Kind of like Rockman 2 Neta, that fangame where you fight all of the RM2 robot masters all at once.

Yep, the 23rd, I cannot wait~
Hopefully so, I will happily toss more money at Team Cherry. =3

Yeah kind of like that, although Neta was done as a gag.

And even now I still haven't started Celeste, but so much backlog...

As proven by the Takeshi's Challenge version of Dr Wily in the ending of said "game."

I did a run of Celeste recently, did better than my previous run, I was astonished by some levels small death counts. =O

For a little hobby project it sure accomplished a lot.

Sounds like a tough but fair challenge.

Also. :O

I personally loved playing Rockman 2 Neta. =3

That's how Celeste is for sure. =3

Well, that is something I will definitely buy and not open~

Yeah, and the translation patch actually makes a difference, because you do gradually get easier options. :P

Indeed, I know you absolutely love those sorts of games, An Untitled Story, IWBTG, Super Meat Boy, The End is Nigh, etc.

I think I'll be picking it up for sure~
Although I'm not afraid to open these physical games, sometimes they come in wrapping that's clearly not the original factory seal.

I think I was able to figure out those things while playing.

Yep, they are pretty fun. =3

Well one way or another I know I want one. =3

Things like the E-tanks were straight-forward enough, but things like the extended invulnerability periods were maybe less obvious.

They're not necessarily for me, but I can see where Celeste may be different so I want to give it a shot.

Indeed, and I've indulged in quite a few physical Switch games lately, I'm loving the selection.

I wanted to keep it as legit as possible, so only E-tanks for me.

I understand that of course. Celeste's main game is hard but fair, the post game on the other hand is where it starts getting mean. =P

It is quite nice. =3 I still only have 4 physical games on the Switch. =P

Not that it's a particularly legit experience anyway, the NES couldn't handle 8 robot masters at once. :P

Yeah, all of the side-challenges and such.

My physical collection has grown quite large already, I'm pretty sure I have more Switch games than I do Wii U games already.

Well you know what I mean. =P

And there are some pretty hard post game challenges.

I do still have more Wii U game, but the quality of the Switch games is better. =P

Yeah, it plays within its own rules. :P

I can imagine.

Undoubtedly, and them being on small fast loading cartridges is much, much better.
The load times for Wii U were a huge turn-off, it took forever to just get into the game.

Funny how the most important game I have on the Wii U that I want on the Switch is Guacamelee.

Also been playing that Hollow Knight expansion they put out. One thing in it may have crossed the line in being too hard for me. >_>

That is pretty funny, I'm really hoping that both of the titles will find their way onto Switch.

Ah I see, and it's already a pretty notoriously hard game.

Most of the other games are just okay or mediocre.

Yeah, simply put it's a boss rush, a LONG ONE!

Most of the Wii U games worth playing have made their way to Switch already too.

Ahh, so it really whittles you down, I guess it's a matter of REALLY learning the patterns?

Pretty much.

Yeah, but there is also the stress factor. 42 boss fights takes even good players 40-60 minutes to get through. So imagine getting to the 29th boss like I have and dying, it's a little soul crushing.
Granted you get a full heal every 5 bosses, but that doesn't prevent some bosses being fairly hard, especially the final 3 bosses of the boss rush.

It sounds much tougher than your standard True Arena in Kirby.

It's pretty rough. I tried it something like 5 or so times but I am not having any fun and I know the worst of the worst is yet to come... So I don't think I am going to bother trying and leave that last achievement undone.

I've heard that some of the bosses are getting nerfed in Hollow Knight too, probably for the sake of this boss rush.

I have seen many people online complaining how this 42 boss rush is like way too far. There are some bosses you even have to fight twice since some bosses have a harder optional fight with them.

It's definitely the longest boss rush I've ever heard of.
Even Kirby with True Arena doesn't make you do the repeat versions of boss fights, just the hardest versions of each.

Yeah, it's be like if you had to fight Whispy Woods and Whispy Wood EX or whatever as well in the True Arena.

Which reminds me, I never did beat Kid Icarus Uprising's 24-boss rush on 9.0 intensity. It was too tough.
