This was a good week as I picked up several titles, but none of them are counting against the backlog due to the fact that they're ports/remasters of ones I've played before but were either on sale or happened to release this week (for the most part), but I also reached a big gaming milestone.

New Titles:
- Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition (PS4&PS5)*
- Raging Loop (PS5)*
- A Little to the Left + DLC (PS4&PS5)*
- Oceanhorn - Monster of Uncharted Seas (Vita)*
- Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana (PS5)*
- Donkey Kong Country Returns HD (Switch)*
- Tales of Graces f Remastered (PS5)*
- Triggerheart Exelica (Switch)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Amairo Chocolate 2 (Steam)
- 100%'d Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Expansion Pass Vol. 3 (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana
- Beat and 100%'d Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - Future Redeemed

So, in terms of milestones, Ys Memoirte: The Oath in Felghana is my 500th Completed Game as listed on PSNProfiles while Future Redeemed is noted as my 3,000th Complete on Backloggery. Hitting both of those in the same week felt pretty good.

I'll likely see one new release that I pre-ordered a while back this week, but otherwise I'm saving the next batch of wish list titles on sale until I get paid again.

For now, other than a couple of titles I can play casually, I may slow down on gaming for a bit so I can get back to some recording and writing.

Had a fairly relaxed gaming week this week as I did not purchase anything new and chilled with a couple of casual titles while making actual progress on recording too.

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Oceanhorn - Monster of the Uncharted Seas (Vita)
- Beat SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky (PS4)

I've completed 2 of the 5 heroine routes on SINce Memories, so I'll be focusing on 100%ing that this week while aiming to do some more recording. Currently undecided on an "on-the-go" title, but likely something quick on Switch.

Expecting 2-3 physical arrivals this week plus I'll be grabbing some wish list titles that are still on sale once I get paid. Negative progress for the first time in a while is quite possible.

Heavy week this week courtesy of expected new releases and wish list sale titles, so at the very least I broke even when factoring titles not counting against the backlog right now.

New Titles:
- Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero (PS5)
- Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed (PS5)
- Costume Quest 2 (PS4)*
- Metal Slug Tactics (PS4&PS5)*
- Apex Heroines (PS5)*
- Sword of the Necromancer: Resurrection (PS4&PS5)*
- Master of Bow (Switch)*
- Crystal Breaker (Switch)*
- Constellations: Discover the Universe (Switch)*
- Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos (PS5)
- Dynasty Warriors: Origins (PS5)

Progress:
- 100%'d Master of Bow
- 100%'d Constellations: Discover the Universe
- Beat and 100%'d Crystal Breakers
- 100%'d SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky (PS4)

Not expecting any new releases this week, but may still grab a wish list sale title or two that ends before pay day. In the meantime, I'll probably work on some shorter titles to fill in the gaps between all of the recording I've been doing for my Let's Plays over the past couple of weekends, so maybe some arcade-style titles or Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos.

Pure positive progress this week as I didn't obtain any new games and cleared out a couple on the planned backlog as well as a couple of quickies.

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Neptunia Riders vs Dogoos (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Night Slashers: Remake (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Funky Fantasy IV (SNES)
- 100%'d Mystic Pillars: A Story-Based Puzzle Game (Switch)

Hoping to grab a few wish list titles still on sale when I get paid on Wednesday, otherwise I'm not expecting any new releases this week.

As for what to play next, choice paralysis is real right as I have three separate projects that I'm in-between on and don't know what to focus on at the moment. Though I still have the final Phase of Ar nosurge Plus to record for that Let's Play so it will likely be my focus whenever time permits. Depends on work.

Well, I hope everything fits into one post as I went ham on wish list sale titles as well as picking up some new releases. Funny thing is, I was expecting one more, but shipment got delayed so I should see that today.

New Titles:
- Shujinkou (PS5)
- Mystic Pillars - Remastered (PS5)*
- Night Slashers: Remake (PS4&PS5)*
- Dragon Takers (PS4&PS5)*
- Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore (PS5)*
- Symphonia (PS4&PS5)*
- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind (PS4&PS5)*
- Snow Bros. Wonderland (PS4&PS5)*
- Thinking of You Beyond Time (PS5)*
- Fading Star Melody (PS5)*
- Raiden NOVA (PS5)*
- The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case: The Okhotsk Disappearance ~Memories in Ice, Tearful Figurine~ (Switch)*
- Irem Collection Volume 2 (Switch)*
- Fantasy Sword (Switch)*
- Primal Hearts (Steam)
- Primal Hearts 2 (Steam)

Progress:
- 100%'d Thinking of You Beyond Time
- 100%'d Fading Star Melody
- Beat and 100%'d Mystic Pillars - Remastered
- Beat and 100%'d Astro Bot (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Astro Bot - Winter Wonder
- Beat and 100%'d Astro Bot - Stellar Speedway
- 100%'d Swapshot (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Re:Touring (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d Marfusha (PS5)
- Beat and 100%'d My Big Sister: Remastered (PS5)

This week will probably be quieter as I'm only expecting Trails Through Daybreak II and have nothing else on the radar. I'm undecided on knocking out some more short titles or starting another big one on console, but I'm also itching for more Final Fantasy so I'll likely jump into one of the Pixel Remasters I haven't beaten yet on the Switch version.

Positive progress this week with one new arrival and knocking out a few titles for fun.

New Titles:
- The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak II (Switch)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Final Fantasy II Pixel Remaster (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Breakers Collection (PS5)
- 100%'d Neko Journey (PS5)

Started up a chill playthrough of Maid of the Dead on Switch and will likely beat that this week depending on how much I focus on it. I'm also trying to get into the habit of aiming to complete the Platinum trophies for games I never finished up in that regard, starting with Touhou Sky Arena: Matsuri Climax. Just have to get the 20 wins in Survival Mode trophy for that.

I'll likely pick up some wish list titles on sale this week once I get paid, but, as usual, I'll likely add them to the collection rather than the backlog.

Another paycheck leading mostly to an influx of wish list sale purchases that mostly affect the collection rather than the backlog, so I'll say I made positive progress this week.

New Titles:
- Piczle Cross: Rune Factory (Switch)*
- Elrentaros Wanderings + Stray Fairy Trap! (Switch)*
- Shinjuku Soumei (Switch)*
- Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi (Switch)*
- Riviera: The Promised Land (Switch)*
- Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost (Switch)*
- PICROSS Records of The Shield Hero (Switch)*
- Warriors: Abyss (PS4&PS5)
- Dead Dragons (PS4&PS5)*
- Harukuru. - Spring Has Come True? - (Steam)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Maid of the Dead (Switch)
- Platinum'd Touhou Sky Arena: Matsuri Climax (PS4)
- Beat and 100%'d Sakura Succubus 7 (PS4)

Probably the first time I've marked a Platinum trophy as a separate entry since I'd already considered the game Complete. But I'll probably start going back to games I've finished but never Platinum'd over the next while to finally knock those out.

In terms of plans, I started Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi for "on the go" and should at least beat it this week while King of Fighters XV will most likely be my next big game to focus on for the next couple of weeks as I shouldn't start a long JRPG until I finish recording Ar nosurge Plus for my channel and that will take another 2-3 recording sessions.

Looking at 3-4 new physical releases over the course of this month so I'll hopefully slow down on wish list purchases a bit. As usual, those will depend on sales more than anything else.

Pure progress this week as every new title isn't counting against the backlog since they're ports/remakes of games I've beaten previously, and I hit my main goal for the week.

New Titles:
- AIR (Steam)*
- Kanon (Switch)*
- Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars (PS5)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d The King of Fighters XV (PS5)

I expected KoF XV to take longer, so it was a nice surprise to Platinum within a week. Of course having friends to help boost the online trophies made that a lot less tedious and we had a lot of fun just doing casual matches afterwards.

I don't want to start anything else big just yet so I can focus on finishing recording Ar nosurge Plus, so I'll probably knock out a few quickies and finish up Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi on Switch as I didn't do much with it last week.

Will be picking up a couple of new releases this week too once I get paid.

Net positive progress this week as I finished up a couple I'd been working on and knocked out some quickies I picked up for cheap to see how they were. But most of this week's purchases aren't being counted against the backlog.

New Titles:
- Jumpjumpjump! (PS5)*
- EX-802 (PS5)*
- CrazyBall (PS5)*
- Taiko no Tetsujin: Rhythm Festival (PS5)*
- Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist (PS5)*
- Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (PS4&PS5)*
- Ever 17: The Out of Infinity (PS4)
- Never 7: The End of Infinity (PS4)

Progress:
- 100%'d Fitness Boxing Feat. Hatsune Miku (Switch)
- 100%'d CrazyBall
- Beat and 100%'d Jumpjumpjump!
- 100%'d EX-802
- 100%'d Astro Bot - Vicious Void (PS5)

Other than those, I've been focusing on finishing up recording Ar nosurge Plus for my main Let's Play, so other casual gaming has been on the back burner for a bit.

The only expected new release for this week is Xenoblade Chronicles X DE but, as usual, you never know what else may pop up.

Quiet week for casual gaming this week as I focused most of my energy on finishing my Ar nosurge Plus Let's Play. I did pick up a few titles alongside the expected Xenoblade X, but none of them are counting against the backlog for the usual reasons (double-dip, grabbing while on sale).

New Titles:
- Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition (Switch)*
- Love Colors (Switch)*
- Calm Colors (Switch)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Color Swiper (PS4)
- Beat and 100%'d Ar nosurge Plus: Ode to an Unborn Star (Vita, Replay)

Expecting Atelier Yumia later today and I plan to get some wish list titles off the Switch eShop after I get paid so I can take advantage of getting some more Gold Coins before those are discontinued.

After taking care of another video editing project, I'll finally start Atelier Lydie & Suelle, try to finish Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi, and start a new recording project this weekend.

Eked out positive progress this week due to finishing up one I'd been working on as well as enjoying some shorter titles. As usual, most of the wish list sale purchases aren't counting against the backlog, but I still had plenty of others.

New Titles:
- Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land (PS5)
- Groove Coaster Wai-Wai Party!!!! - Original Pack 10 (Final Boss) (Switch)*
- Wife Quest (Switch)*
- Once Again (PS5)*
- Alter Age (PS4&PS5)*
- Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark (PS5)
- WitchSpring R (PS5)

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Color Swiper 2 (PS4)
- Beat and 100%'d Groove Coaster Wai-Wai Party!!!! - Original Pack 10 (Final Boss)
- Beat and 100%'d Once Again
- Beat Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi (Switch)

My main focus for right now is Atelier Lydie & Suelle so I can finish up the Mysterious Trilogy while recording some secondary projects (Ys Origin and Wife Quest), but I'll probably slowly work towards 100%ing Carpathian Night as it's better in short bursts.

Nothing on the radar for right now as of today so I don't plan on picking up any new releases, but that could of course change as always.

Not a good week for gaming as I lost several days due to needing to travel for a personal situation, so I only had my Switch and even then only at the hotel.

No new titles and, f not for completing one game, nothing would have happened this week.

Progress:
- 100%'d Carpathian Night Starring Bela Lugosi (Switch)

Most of my available time went towards starting and making progress in Piczle Cross: Rune Factory and, while I am about 60% complete with that, I don't think I'll finish it this week since I want to make progress on Atelier Lydie & Suelle to make up for not getting to touch that until the weekend.

Nothing on the radar, but I also get paid at the end of the week and will keep an eye on new releases that catch my eye and/or wish list sales.

Will declare positive progress this week as I picked up some wish list sale titles for the collection rather than the backlog, but I still cleared a couple as well.

New Titles:
- Vampire Surviors - Emerald Diorama (DLC)*
- Spirit Valor (PS4&PS5)*
- Glitch Blaster's Waifu (PS4&PS5)*
- Mizuchi (PS4&PS5)*
- Time Gal HD Remaster (Steam)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Piczle Cross: Rune Factory (Switch)
- Beat and 100%'d Glitch Blaster's Waifu (PS5)

Currently focused on Atelier Lydie & Suelle and might be able to finish that this week if time permits, especially as I want to get some more recording done after not streaming for the past couple of weeks.

The main expectation for this week is the Lunar Remastered Collection, but we'll also see if something else slips in too.

I can argue pure progress since I picked up two wish list titles on sale that aren't counting against the backlog. I picked them up as the sale for 'em ends before I get paid again. Either way, I still pulled ahead by reaching my goal and clearing out a couple of quickies over the weekend.

New Titles:
- Crimzon Clover - World EXplosion (Switch)*
- ANTONBLAST (Switch)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings (PS4)
- Beat and 100%'d Time Gal HD Remaster (Steam)
- Beat and 100%'d Touhou Gensokyo Visitor (Steam)

Wanting to do more recording this week so I'm going to try and finish games for that, especially since I'm planning to dive into Xenoblade Chronicles X afterwards, so I need to a great backlog of videos.

Still waiting on my physical copy of the Lunar Remastered Collection to arrive but, other than that, there's nothing on the radar as of now. But, as always, that can change.

Been nearly daily playing Genshin Impact, but have been swinging in Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth (in doses) and the occasional Wuthering Waves. Beat Suikoden 1 and 2 Remasters back in March.

Replayed both Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia (with a new translation patch) in the last few weeks.
Started playing Oblivion Remastered just the other day.

Almost got by with pure progress this week until one title I'd been waiting to release for quite a while surprisingly arrived, even if it is just a physical PS5 port of a PS4 game.

New Titles:
- Lunar Remastered Collection (Switch)*
- Lost Ruins (PS5)

Progress:
- Beat Ys Origin (Steam)
- Beat and 100%'d Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster (Switch)

This week may be a big one for adding to the collection as there are a lot of wish list titles on sale and I get paid later today. Though progress will likely slow down a bit as, after I record Wife Quest for a quick secondary project, I plan to dive into Xenoblade Chronicles X DE.

That's about it, really.

Lots of wish list sale purchases for the collection this week while I also finished up my current set of recording goals.

New Titles:
- LunarLux (Switch)*
- River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next (PS4)*
- Tales from Toyotoki: Arrival of the Witch (PS5)*
- HEAVEN SEEKER -- The Savior of This Cruel World (PS4)*
- FREEDOM WARS Remastered (PS4&PS5)*

Progress:
- Beat and 100%'d Wife Quest (Switch)

I started Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition and am suitably hooked on it, so that'll be my main focus for the next few weeks, maybe taking small breaks for a quickie clear now and then to offset any new titles against the backlog in the meantime. But this week should be fine as I'm not expecting anything new.

Haven't made much progress so far. Been moving, so I've mostly just been doing daily Genshin tasks and a little bit of the new event. Otherwise, very quiet gaming period for me.

I can only say this week had negative progress because two games I was expecting to arrive today or later both arrived before/during the weekend and I've been too hooked on Xenoblade X to break even with some low-hanging fruit.

New Titles:
- Death end re;Quest Code Z (PS5)
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (PS5)

About 70 hours into Xenoblade X and I'll continue to focus on that pretty much as much as I can. Haven't seen any wish list titles on sale and am not expecting any more releases this week, so it may be another fairly quiet one.
