What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Touki Denshou Angel Eyes (Switch)

April 9th, 2023

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.
