Now that I have Mario 64 DS pretty well established on my home theater PC, I might continue my trek into the scurrilous world of emulation by getting Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy running in HD. Dolphin is a truly beautiful thing.
While I've been super busy at my day job, I've been resisting my typical five-games-at-a-time review schedule. In the meantime, I've been resorting to video game comfort food.
I recently restarted The Unfinished Swan on my Vita - rescued from the top drawer of my dresser. I don't know why I've left The Unfinished Swan unfinished - it is an absolutely delightful game. Throwing paint in all directions and exploring storybook castles? Totally what I need right now.
I've also been poking at Spiritfarer on Stadia, which is also a nice, cozy game. I like the cute little characters, and the graphics are super nice looking in 4K HDR. I've only just started the game, but I can see that it is something that I could easily zone out and lose hours to.
I've also been regularly dipping into Marvel's Avengers endgame. Yes, it is super samey, but I'm having a good time jumping around as Hulk and smashing up stuff with my son whizzing above my head as Iron Man. My Hulk is slowly approaching the soft level cap on PS4, and my Black Widow isn't far behind on Stadia. It makes me wish they were on the same system, or that there was cross-progression. But you can't win them all.
