Ever need a game on all the things?
Ever since I got a new gaming laptop and a Nintendo Switch, I’ve found some of my PS4 and Vita games migrating to them. This isn’t an entirely bad thing, as it frees up storage on my PlayStation platforms, (where storage is often tight anyway), but some of it just boils down to the fact that I want a lot of my favorite games on more portable platforms.
Rogue Legacy, TransistorandDark Soulsrecently came out on the Switch and, despite having them on PS4, I just couldn’t help but want them for the Switch. I importedOkamifor Switch even though digital would have been fineandI had it on PS4, but theZelda-like nature ofOkamijust feels right on a Nintendo system. I wanted to play these games during my lunch breaks at work. A lot of games I have for PlayStation platforms just feel better on the Switch sometimes.
That’s not to say my PlayStation platforms aren’t home to repeat purchases. IfCastlevania: Symphony of Nightappears anywhere, I’ll get it. I play the game nearly every year as it is, so having even a mildly updated version of the game is more than welcome. I have also ownedMetal Gear Solid 3andSuper Metroidacross various platforms for this same reason. It’s just a matter of time before I replay these amazing classics and sometimes discover new things about them.
I haveFinal Fantasy XIVon both PC and PS4, because I like to watch Netflix on my PS4 and I can do crafting or questing on my PC, or maybe I just want to check in with friends there while I continue playingThe Last of Us Remastered. And if I need to do various things on PC, I haveFFXIVon my PS4 to attend to things there.
Some of you may have just gotDiablo IIIfor the second – possibly third – time in six years. I’m enjoying it for the first time on Nintendo Switch. I never really played it before, so my Demon Hunter, Violet, and her loyal Hyrulian cucco are looking forward to many great looting adventures on my lunch breaks!
So for this month, our blogging topic is double-dipping! What are the games that you will go out of your way to have on another platform? Do you just need to haveThe Binding of IssacorDead Cellson everything? Are you hording multiple copies ofGrand Theft Auto Vjust in case you lose one? Maybe you feel better knowingMega Manis in your pocket, as well as on your PS4?
