It's 2026 and games are getting played! Here in this thread I'll be tracking game completions. Last year was a bit slower for me, will I pick up the pace this year?

I wish you all a 2026 full of great games, healthy lives, and good news!

With that said, here are my games beaten;

Nintendo shares 7 new character posters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
Nintendo and Illumination have released 7 new theatrical character posters for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Each poster beautifully highlights the main cast of characters we've seen from the trailers, but the backgrounds also reveal some new cameos, including the adorable Star Bunnies from Super Mario Galaxy, and the more unexpected Pinatas from Super Mario Sunshine. While most Hollywood animated movies would use posters like this as a means to advertise their all-star voice cast (including Brie Larson as Rosalina and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr.), Nintendo seems to be rightfully confident that their iconic characters do more than enough advertising all on their own. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters 1st April 2026.

Seeing our new cat enjoying the birds and the winter morning has me kind of emotional.

He was adopted twice before we did in the last three years and when we met him he was in a display cube whose only window was looking out into another part of a building.

I'm glad the views are better here.

This looked quite good. I feel I'd be quite bad at it.

Which is a shame.

As long as I can grow stronger, even if I'm struggling in an area.... Then I'll be happy.

I like when I can over level if I need to. I found some of the demo combat to be tricky in a bad way but I admit maybe I just need more time with it.

Still looking forward to it. Probably day one purchase.
Across that world you will face more than 25 bosses and mini-bosses, discover 60 Trinkets, upgrade your weapons, grow stronger through a full level-up system, explore New Game Plus, and experiment with hundreds of gameplay modifiers.

I'm not someone who plays Castlevania games but I can still recognize this is a great direction for the series.

Looks really cool. Maybe I'll play it someday.

I found the original Kena to be very underwhelming and heavily flawed.

But I got a say, things look good off the jump on this. I'm quite curious how this develops.
State of Play just kicked off with an announcement of Kena: Scars of Kosmora, coming to PS5 and PC later this year.

Following the announcement of an unfortunate, but necessary, delay to add some extra polish to the game, Yacht Club Games has now announced that the anticipated Mina the Hollower will be released in Spring 2026. An exact release date has not yet been shared, but it's good to know we don't have much longer to wait. While you wait, if you haven't already, make sure to play the wonderful demo that released on the Switch eShop last year, with support for 120fps on Switch 2.

It just occurred to me how truly out of touch that Kid Rock halftime show was.

He's literally singing about 'chicks with beepers'.

Now we know where all that art design money went to instead of in Legends Z-A.

Wakka-wakka!
Estimates show Pokémon Company paid an astounding $16-20 million for its one minute Super Bowl ad this year.

Watching the Super Bowl Half Time Show...

When Bad Bunny does SNL next, Lady Gaga should be the musical guest, and they can do a skit called,

"I Love Lady"

And make a riff off 'I Love Lucy'. I got those vibes midway, lol.

Every entry I've played in this series has left me feeling less interested in it. This one looks so good but I'm just so far gone that I can't find the money nor time for this one.

I hope it turns out great though!!!
It's almost game time! 🎾

Join Mario, Peach, Bowser, Daisy, and 34 other playable characters as they hit the court for explosive action in #MarioTennisFever, coming to #NintendoSwitch2 on Feb 12.

I had someone like this post of mine today. It was great remembering this incredible song. No harm to post it again. Enjoy.
365 Days Of Music: Day 326

Brand New - Jesus Christ

18 years ago today this album released. I really like this band and this album may have been my all-time favorite. This song is poetic and beautiful.
