Had an awesome set of matches with a player in SF 3rd Strike on Arcade Club Leeds on their SEGA Versus City cab.
Having online is nice but it simply cannot compare with in-person matches and the ability to interact after each match.

I know nothing about Magic the Gathering but when I saw the shop had the Gundam Card Game, I couldn't say no.

I wasn't really enjoying Fast Fusion as much as the previous games but it's growing on me.
The races still feel slower than Fast RMX for some reason, even with a lower weighted vehicle and higher top speed.

Do not sleep on the Wander Stars demo that's part of Steam Next Fest, it's a real love letter to Dragon Ball with a dash of Scribblenauts

The current fix to get GRID Autosport working on Switch 2 docked is to start it in handheld mode with flight mode on, then once in, switch it flight mode off and connect to the dock.
Seems like that bypasses whatever online check that is crashing the game upon startup.

Lost my Mario Kart 8 save during the transfer, that was the only game where it didn't carry over which is a shame but just gives me a reason to play though the Grand Prix again.

Did some shmup tests on Switch 2, out of GUNBIRD 2, Thunder Force IV, Ghost Blade HD, Ikaruga & ProtoCorgi only Danmaku Unlimited 3 had visual issues.

I've never seen an unreleased game that you can pre-order with reviews/ratings before, kinda odd right?

My favourite reveal though was Sea of Remnants, I just love the puppet art style and those ship battles, it's not traditionally something I would be into but I just dug it.

I'm clearly digging MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls & that Arc System Works are doing it but for me, it could go one of two ways;
1) It's like DB FighterZ & is fun and accessible.
2) It's like Guilty Gear Strive & although it looks amazing, it's overwhelming with its systems.

I had to check out the dedicated trailer for First Light 007 as it looked way better there than in the show. Interested in seeing how it plays before I get more excited for it.

Romeo is A Dead Man looked fun but I really dug the animation of the opening cutscene, I thought that was what we were getting in the game 😅
