Games Beaten

...nothing. But we went on our first real vacation in five years during the second half of March, so I don't feel bad about not finishing anything lol

Games Bought

We bought Mario Maker (Wii U) for my kids. I'll probably dabble in it, maybe, but that's such a potential time sink. My wife found a pristine used copy of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (Wii U) for $7. I know it's not the best Mario Tennis (I played a ton of the N64 and GameCube versions)...but it was $7  Completing the "for the kids" Wii U trifecta is Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival because they love amiibo. While on vacation we did some thrift shopping and picked up Viva Piñata (360), which I've always wanted to try, probably because of my enjoyment of Animal Crossing. Also picked up The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii). I've played this version and would rather have the Wii U rerelease but this one was in great condition for $5 and plugs a hole in my collection. But the best deal we got by far was a new copy of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch) for $20! The price was mislabeled at Target and the person working there just let us have it for that price. Craziness!

I picked up a couple of digital things during sales in March, namely The Old Hunters DLC for Bloodborne (PS4) since I'm intending to play that soon (fingers crossed) and Mary Skelter: Nightmares (Vita), which seems like a really interesting dungeon crawler. PS+ was a little light for me this month, netting me the remake of Ratchet & Clank (PS4), it-looks-like-off-brand-Bomberman Bombing Busters (PS4/Vita), and Clair: Extended Cut (PS4/Vita), a horror game I've thought about buying on sale before and now am glad I waited. PSA: In case you didn't hear, we are now into the final year of PS+ games for PS3 and Vita. Sony will be ending PS+ support for those systems in March 2019.

Now Playing

-Nier: Automata (PS4)

I've finished the first two runs through the game and am into the third, which is totally new content.

-Earth Defense Force 2025 (PS3)

Started this not long before going on vacation. Looking forward to getting back to it.

-Destiny 2 (PS4)

Bungie is starting to implement some of the changes they've been talking about. Recently the radar was disabled from a couple of the competitive modes, making them totally different and arguably better (I think so). Should be getting some more DLC next month.
