PEK got a higher score in SDOJ with Type A:

5,454,893,269,405

It is without Hibachi, so I will include it in parentheses on the ranking.

I've returned to DFK 1.5 (X360 ver) and I've been having a lot of fun. I got a new high score in the Omote loop today:

222,539,763,723 - C-Strong - Omote 2-ALL (Lx1, Bx4)



208mil at the end of first loop. Messed up 1-4 pretty bad with a chain break before the midboss but did a full chain in 1-5. Still getting close to nothing in the loop. I guess more practice is needed!

For a change of pace I played through Famicom Detective Club: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shōjo (The Girl Who Stands Behind) on the Switch. I played through the first game (Missing Heir) two years ago when it came out, but put off playing the second one until now. I really enjoyed both games. This one only took me about 5-6 hours to beat, but it was great. I hope they make another one of these in the future. I played both in Japanese, as I have that limited edition boxed set. Pretty easy games to play in Japanese even if your knowledge of the language isn't at a high level, because there is full voice, furigana, and the vocabulary isn't too advanced.

Interestingly, the latest JHA (Japanese high score rankings) has a score of 10 points in Zetsu Mode on the EXA port (ALL clear). I assume this is some 'lowest score possible' ranking category:

I'm guessing this could be done on the home ports as well?

I added a new "CAVE Wanted" board in the Market section and moved the "WTB" threads from "CAVE Shop" there.

I finished TOTK. Took me a bit over 60 hours***. I did 76 shrines, got two extra Stamina wheels and 18 hearts. Great game worth a play-through, but not really better than BOTW, imo. Both games are 8/10 for me. Just way too bloated (especially TOTK), and I still don't like the breakable weapons/shields. I hated the Depths too, just drab and dark (and endlessly huge) with that annoying gloom everywhere -- not very enjoyable. Dungeons were pretty good overall, but I didn't like the last one at all, and the lead-up to the final boss was more annoying than fun. No real challenge in the game once you upgrade your armor and cook a bunch of stuff. I did like the shrines in this game, though.

I still strongly prefer the classic Zelda games: Zelda II, A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Link's Awakening, and Wind Waker. All of those are 9/10 or 10/10 in my book.



***In contrast, BOTW took me about 45 hours.

Kayar got over 6 trillion in SDOJ with B-Expert, which is an incredible achievement!

6,053,148,130,825

https://twitter.com/lmt_enche/status/1662493643301871616

No Hibachi fight in this one, though, so it doesn't overtake his 5.8 trillion Hibachi-ALL score, but I'll include it in parentheses.

I updated the Mushihimesama Cave Matsuri 1.5 PCB estimate to 50 (maybe higher), due to finding an MHN-40003 serial, which means at least 43 were made. I previously estimated 25 ~ 50.

The PCB is shown in this video at the 22:25 mark:
