What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Touki Denshou Angel Eyes (Switch)

November 1st, 2025

Last night, I was super wiped out and spacy, so I did some of the worst fighting game arcade mode playthroughs of my life. I kicked off with the Genesis version of Virtua Fighter 2, because I'm making the most of my Switch 2 ownership, and proceeded to get poor Akira kicked in the face until he fell over time and time again. This is such a clumsy version of VF2, but I'm kind of fascinated by it! I will likely come back to it sooner rather than later.

I started really tanking after that. I played a bit of Touki Denshou Angel Eyes, which I'd bounced off of before because I felt like the final boss was brutally unfair in an unfun way. Though years and miles seperate me from that last attempt, I felt exactly the same way last night.

From there, I decided to try a Switch indie fighter called Mofumofusensen and got so overwhelmed by the big sprites and loud music between matches that I just kind of shut it off halfway through my run. This seemed super neat, and had really distinctive presentation, but I was too tired to take it all in last night. That is not the game's fault at all.

A little after that, I played a round of Spartan Survivors and fell asleep. It was a bad run, but excellent sleep.

Tonight, I'm back from a trip to Chicago, and have just done so much background and tidying work on the site that I missed during the week that I'm starting this post a bit tired. It was a fun weekend, though, and I'm glad I got some background stuff squared away, too.

Yesterday afternoon, I relaxed and played Switch for a while, hoping to avoid anything too intense. I started with an Arcade Archives game I'd picked up out of curiosity a while ago, Touki Denshou Angel Eyes. It's a mid-90s Tecmo fighter, and I was curious to see how their stuff played in 2D. I had fun playing it for a bit, even if it felt a bit unfair, but it looked very strange! Some of the characters were rendered 3D sprites, and others were traditionally drawn, so despite feeling smooth, it looked somewhat slapdash. I had fun, though, and I'll try it again! I'm motivated to defeat the super cheap final boss, since I was making progress against her.

After getting a little tired of that, I played Wario Ware, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ until my Switch battery got too low. I'm still not very good at it, and it's still fun.

I haven't been sleeping super well for quite a while, so I'm probably going to sleep rather than playing many games tonight. I feel pretty cheerful, though, so that's not so bad.
