Game Progression from September 1st and prior
Dragon Quest VIII (3DS) - Loving this game so much, best DQ game I've played so far. Lv 46 average throughout the party. I already recruited the extra characters exclusive to the 3DS version. 67 hours in and wanting more!
Super Mario 3D All Stars (NS) - collected all the special caps (Metal, Winged and Invisible), got 55 stars at 7 hours.
Pokemon Sword (NS) - I finished the main story and the main story for the DLC expansions. Just playing through Dynamax Adventures. My Pokemon part is around lv 75-80. 60 hours in
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (NS) - put on hold, doing 150cc races now. 17 hours in
Super Smash Bros Ultimate (NS) - put on hold, doing World of Light story mode. 35 hours in.
I finished Super Mario World (this is like my 20+ time playing the game across SNES, GBA, and now NSO) via NSO - the next game I'll play off of NSO will be Kirby's Dream Course but that will be later in the year (likely closer to the holidays since I want to finish up what I am playing now so I'll have more time to play Super Mario RPG, Super Mario Bros Wonder and eventually FFXVI (PS5) ).
