The Backlog Check-In Vol. 458: 10/10/26: Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse Edition

Watched a few reviews of Ratatan and it definitely looks the part, though the roguelike nature seems a little weird. Unsure on it, tbh. Might just play the Ghost of Yotei DLC instead.

I just watched this trailer. A whole lot going on there! More colors, systems, outfits, etc. I'll let you go first and tell me what you think.

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this - my local news station is giving away umbrellas:

...I mean like, c'mon. Somebody there HAS to be in on this right?

j specific questions (but anyone else feel free to chime in):

1) I got to the end of act 2 after 82 hours in DQ11. Should I go back and do the third act?

2) Yakuza 3 Kiwami. Do I get some more time with the kids and is the wanted list still in there? I know they made changes to the ending and don't care, I think I am just in the mood for a mainline Yakuza and I think Ishin is just not hitting for me.

3) DQ Monsters 3. Thouhgts? I put Builders 2 down in a good spot where I can go back like in the spring but I think I am becoming DQ people. I also want to play the mousou DQ game but the sequel to it with the boy and girl protagonists. Any other DQ recs?

You'd think so!

YES. Come on man.

I really enjoyed this one:



I've also had my eye on Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko's Mystery Dungeon, the HD version that came out recently.

I'm thinking so too. I told my wife that someone probably submitted the design as a joke, and when they went with that one they were probably too shocked to say anything.

All I know is, it's now my mission to get one of them!
