What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

The Last Blade: Neo Geo Pocket Color (Switch)

June 6th, 2022

I haven't been feeling very good, so mostly, I've been asleep since yesterday afternoon. I went to the doctor today, though, so hopefully I will be peppy enough to push game buttons again soon! Anyway, yesterday morning, I played the Neo Geo Pocket Color version of The Last Blade on my Switch a bit more. It's cute, and I'm making headway figuring out that the scrolls you can collect actually have some sort of purpose. It's a neat game.

It was two games again yesterday, with the first up being the Neo Geo Pocket Color version of The Last Blade. I never played this on the real NGPC, but the Switch ports of these games hold up pretty well. The gallery, where you unlock and buy scrolls with story information, seems like it could be a good time sink, too. Yesterday, though, I was most impressed with how much of the look and atmosphere of the "normal" version of the game carried over to the cutesy portable. These stage intros are really nice!

I played some more before bed Sonic Adventure, too. I went back to Sonic's levels and did the snowboarding stage, which was really striking in that it makes it clear that Sonic is well able to slam into piles of debris head-on at high speed and survive, but dies if he touches a spike for a millisecond. It's an unfair life that a hedgehog leads.
