Though with that said the changes to the Giant's Mask are actually fun but because it's now actually mandatory for completing the boss fight it becomes decidedly less so on repeat playthroughs (in N64 it was optional but also the fastest method as long as you had the MP for it, and if you're Doing ...

100%ed Majora's Mask for my first time. I'd taken cracks at playing this game over the years but I usually wouldn't get too far, and I didn't actually complete the game until the 3DS remake came out. And even then I just did an obligatory playthrough and then never touched it again, didn't go for 10...

No change MY name to "Wowsie"

Finished off Origami King. Honestly, had a pretty good time. I know it's not gonna be what the TTYD fans want, but I think despite it not being quite as a fleshed out traditional RPG battle system, it has a pretty interesting battle system that stands on its own merits. There's something that appeal...

Have more thoughts on Origami King since the last post but man I might be the dumbest mother fucker to ever play this game because I was on the final turn of like the... 6th(?) major boss fight (3rd stationary boss fight to undo the 3rd ribbon) before I realized/remembered that during a boss fight y...

Got back from my camping trip and started Origami King. Minor spoilery stuff from the 1st world ahead. Unraveled 1 ribbon so far (gotta give them credit for not making the game a quest to gather 6-8 macguffins. The ribbons essentially serve the same purpose but at least it's more obvious that the ri...

Even after finishing the game I'm not sure exactly what Diddy can do that she can't. He can cartwheel from the edge of a platform into a midair jump, and IIRC his roll move is also much faster than Dixie's twirl. Dixie can also do the midair jump from her spin. Maybe Diddy can get more distance cau...

I have a camping trip coming up so I didn't want to star Origami King until I'm back from that. Which is why I randomly decided to play through DKC the other day, and yesterday and started DKC2 and I just finished it today. Yeah, I'd say it's probably a better game. Way tougher, for better or for wo...

Started playing through Donkey Kong Country on NSO over the past couple days, and finished it for my first time today. It's a weird game for me because I do have some nostalgia from it because my friend that I played SNES with frequently owned it when I was little, but neither of us were very good a...

I finished Color Splash the other day, and for some reason I decided to complete a few final things after the story end and got carried away and just 100% the whole thing. Including: 4/4 max card slots (got that naturally, apparently one is optional) 6/6 Luigi locations All banners in the plaza Side...

I assume I'm approaching endgame of Color Splash at this point. And yeah, still having quite a bit of fun with it. I do feel like the battle system is wearing me down a bit. It's not the most complex battle system ever, and at some point I hit the 99 card mark while also having an inventory that I t...

Started playing Color Splash and it's actually... good? Like not even just better than I expected but some stuff that's straight up good. For starters, it's a beautiful game to look at. The 3D rendered paper characters in an environment with a full on modern lighting system looks great. And the writ...

Finished with Paper Jam. It was a decent enough time. The story was lame, as was a lot of the writing and jokes that didn't land, though there were a few that did. It kinda felt like the plot really never got going, even by the end of the game. You're immediately tasked with beating up Bowser, and e...

I drunkenly bought my friend an overpriced dragonball durag like the one in the video off of etsy one time

Something like 12 hours into Paper Jam. Definitely having more fun than Sticker Star, but it's still a mid-2010s Nintendo game. Actually what's most shocking to me is that it's actually kinda hard? For some good reasons and some bad. They like to do a thing where you fight "real" enemies a...

I always remember this one It's what they call a stare-down, because someone goes down the stairs. It's a play on words that seems so obvious that I felt like an idiot for never making the connection myself. Simple and ingenious. Here, have a collection of uncited quotes I've collected over the year...

Finished Sticker Star. By the end I was just unabashedly following a guide, reading ahead on a gamefaqs guide before entering levels because I was so sick of getting into a level before finding out I needed some stupidly specific sticker, backtracking out, getting the sticker, and then coming back. ...

triple post Uhhh this was not posting when I was trying last night, and I guess it actually went into a queue and eventually posted. How embarassing! Also more Sticker Star rambling: in world 3 there's a level where Mario loses his hammer and all his stickers, so you have to go around collecting th...

You know the only thing I was able to recall from Sticker Star regarding why I didn't like it was the 2010's Nintendo blandness and the fact you had to constantly be carrying around a bunch of pictures of shoes to be able to do the most basic attack in the game, which are an expendable resource, dis...

Getting back into the Paper Mario series I was going through before TotK came out. Onto Stick Star which I played through when it came out and forgot everything about immediately after. This game is such a weird combination of being like the beginnings of 2010 Nintendo blandness with the bare minimu...

Finished off Super Mario RPG last night, backtracked to Bowser's Keep to do the other 2 of the 6 challenge doors, and get Geno's Star Gun which was the last of the best weapons I needed for each character. Even though once I settled into my arrangement of Mario/Peach/Bowser I never used Geno or Mall...

I started playing through Super Mario RPG on Thursday. I've had it on my "play soon" list of games with how I was playing through the Paper Mario series before TotK came out, and I figured I'd come back to it at some point soon but with the remake announced it got bumped to the front since...

Finished off the main campaign in Tears of the Kingdom. My playtime after getting the ending was 125 hours, but I still have a handful of stuff I want to do. I have some shrines to finish up for one thing, though not many. I'm thinking I'll also do all missions? Even though I feel like I know of at ...
