As its now available on Switch, i startet Final Fantasy IX yesterday,
I have it allready on Pandora (the Pyra Rom SD Card), but this game is cool, expecly the German Translation where some of the Charakters Speak in German Local toung,
per exemple: Cinner speaks a German, that is used by the Peaple in Bayern, (The Part from Germany where the Oktoberfest is)..
I dotnt know how the English Version is, but this is quite funny..
Gameplay Wise im now at the Point where whe Kidnapped Princess Garnet and Crashlanded in the Wood whit our Big Airship,
At the Moment, its not that dramatik like Final Fantasy VII, but maybe this may change..
The Switch Version seems like to be the Steam Version, where you can enable some Cheats like Godmode or Max Damage..

マーヴェラス ～もうひとつの宝島～ or Marvelous: Mōhitotsu no Takarajima or Marvelous: Another Treasure Island. Probably one of the best fan translations I've played for a long time. You need to legally acquire the rom, possibly by buying the cart, and flash it with the fan translation. Translation is good, I highly recommend it. It uses the same engine as Link to the Past, it was made by Nintendo but never made it out of Japan since it was released the year before the N64 came out.
After Finishing Doom: The Golden Souls, I'm currently playing the second game.
Those are massive mods for Doom 2 which are heavily inspired by Mario and very good.

The Last Week i played a lot of Just Cause 3 on my XBOX ONE X
Its the Game of the Year Edition whit all DLCs, Sky Fortress, the Ship DLC, the Mech DLC, so i have a lot of cool new Gadgeds for my Maingame,
Like my Jet Powered Wingsuit
, im aktually at Sky Fortress, and everythime i flew over a City, i just free this city..
its a realy fun game, but whit some bugs, but still a lot of fun..
On the German Version, there is this Police Offizer you hear over your CB Radio (Heat) , and they used a famous German Lets Play Guy "Gronkh"
Im not the Over Fanboy from Gronkh, but his Minecraft Lets Play brought me througt a tuff time when i was unemployed, also he is quite sympathic..
He also made the Joker on the German Syncronisation of "The Lego Batman Movie"..

Dark Souls 2, I've been playing for about 60 hours and arrived at the regular game's end boss. Started one of the DLC areas yesterday - quite a bit more difficult than the main game

Still fresh, damnit!
Some version of Diablo at some insane resolution I assume. Which version?
It's my second playthrough of the mod "Belzebub" for Diablo 1:
https://mod.diablo.noktis.pl/download
This time via WINE on Linux, works like a charm.
Development stopped years ago and it will probably stay in beta state, but to me it's pretty much done.
They added quite a few game-play improvements from Diablo 2 as well and seem to have restored cut content since the new quests are all fully voiced by the original voice actors.
The only thing I don't like is, how they changed the Butcher quest.
"The Hell 2" also supports HD resolutions (although no zooming via mouse wheel, that's Belzebub exclusive), is currently actively worked on and has the Hellfire levels, but is said to be harder than vanilla and a bit convoluted, haven't tried it yet:

I just tried that Belzebub mod. I must say it's really good. Difficult to go back to vanilla build after that. The only thing I don't like (at all) is that the Dungeons always reset when you load your savegame. I have read it's on purpose, but I really hate that. Other then that, it's a really impressive mod, full of good stuff (I haven't reached the Bucher yet, but I hope he still says "Mmmm! Fresh meat!!!" or it's not bucher anymore).
Yeah, they wanted the unified multi-player save system... in a single-player only mod. Beats me.
The Butcher's iconic "greeting" is still there, but you have to solve a small riddle in order to get to him and they slightly changed his location.

A bit Evoland on the Switch,
cute RPG that shows the History of RPGs: At first you have only black/white 2D whitout Musik, then you open some chests and the graphiks and gameplay gets upgrades every time,
There is a lot of Humor in this game..
But as a lot of Game Ports on the Switch, its original was from lot yeahrs ago..
Crackdown 2 (XBOX ONEX)
Its for free aktually, even if the graphiks are for a XBOX 360 Game quite ugly, its a pretty funny openworld Aktion Adventure where you are a Clone Agend in a City whit Zombies and a Gang,
Just like the First Crackdown, you can upgrade your Charakter by collecting ORBS, so you can Jump pretty Hight, run pretty fast, pick up and trow Cars and Trucks,..
The Game was originaly on the INDEX in Germany when its came out for XBOX 360, but the Version now on the Microsoft Store on One is free to Download..

Like 3 years after buying a license, I'm finally getting around to fully setting up launchbox. I have several TB worth of ROMs on my server, and since all the metadata has to be perfect, it's slow going. It'll be nice when it's done, though. I mean I'll probably rarely use it, but it'll still be nice.

Several TB? Must be some ISOs in there also I'd have thought.

I'm using the term "ROMs" generically. Some are proper ROM dumps, some are disc or HD images. I've been going through and compressing them into CHD/CSO/7Z/whatever compression format the latest emulators support to save a bit of space. As always, I'm spending an order of magnitude more time tending my little octopus garden of data than I do actually using it.

Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia on DraStic.
It has varied levels and focuses more on classic platforming and enemy pattern learning of older castlevanias rather than on exploration/unlocking stuff, which I appreciate. There's still XP, stuff to collect and a few areas where you can't go until you've found an item, but the impact is much more minimal than in SotN or other similar games. It doesn't match SotN in the overall audiovisual atmosphere, but it holds pretty well on its own.
The game has many different weapons which is interesting but the problem is that enemies have different resistances and weaknesses, so you spend a lot of time just switching weapons to match the enemy you're currently fighting, and the weapons switching mechanism is a bit cumbersome. This is especially infuriating when you have to switch between two weapons that are identical expect for their damage type. This doesn't bring anything to the game except tedium.
So far it's enjoyable, but not memorable.
