[Best] 1) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Breath of the Wild was more about being dumped into a new world and just letting you go at it like the original Zelda 1. This game, while it can be played like that if you're new to the series, is basically taking that world and turning it into ...

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is done. Platforming and puzzle stuff was fun, the combat was miss early but got better with some of the boss fights later on. All in all, an okay experience that I'm glad got patched up because that improved my take on the game overall. 4 was still more fun to me th...

Trine 5 is going better than it was before. Playing in co-op doesn't causes the game to crash after the latest update, at least so far. I did do a chapter or two on my own, but played a few others with my friend on this. Just a few chapters left in the game now. It remains just there in the grand s...

Yeah, Mega Man 9 (along with probably a ton of other indie games) were finally breaking that whole 2D stigma that plagued consoles for a couple generations there. Seeing the bigger franchises go back to it was nice.

In between making MMX4 vids, I've gone back to playing Trine 5 on the PS5. This is still not SMB Wonder, the other game I stopped playing earlier in the fall, but figure I won't get as engrossed in this one that I slow down on the editing like I would Mario. Besides, I was more than halfway done wit...

That Suika Game continues to be fun for when I want a quick time waster between editing vids. Got my first 3000 point game in it a bit ago and was at a melon + coconut (the one before melon) on the field before a different piece of fruit went flying out of play.

Cloud Mario's fun just because even without the clouds behind you, your jumps still have more air to them.

I can't remember the last good Super Sonic fight in one of his games noting that I haven't touched Frontiers yet, but Sonic Superstars ? You are not that. Anyway, I did the finale of the second half of the game which was bad enough with a variety of one-hit KO attacks and then faced a final boss tha...

This game's great and definitely my pick over the original. This one should be real fun.

Since they were cheap for the holiday weekend, and I was in the mood for both of them, I picked up a couple online games for the Switch. The one I gave a quick play to was that newly popular Watermelon/Suika Game one. The other one which I haven't played yet is the definitive edition of Save Me Mr. ...

First time in a month I bothered to play the PS5 here and went back to Sonic Superstars to actually try and go for the true ending. Currently doing what needs to be done

by playing through Trip's story which is basically hard mode

to do that.

2014: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U) 2015: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (GBC) 2016: Kirby: Planet Robobot (3DS) 2017: Sonic Mania (Switch) 2018: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch) 2019: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4) 2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) 2021: Metroid...

Never mind. They made it real easy to plow through the postgame in Star Ocean: The Second Story R with the right skills set in a few hours. Since this isn't a trophchievement run because it was on the Switch, that's that. Still have never done a run with Rena as the main character, but I'm good for ...

Pretty much did a marathon session in Star Ocean: The Second Story R to go all the way from finishing off the field dungeons all the way to the end of the game. Postgame stuff might have to be put on the backburner for a bit, so that's why I made sure to get my fill in the last couple of days. Great...

Now I'm doing all character completions for every level. I kinda felt after 100%ing world crown I'd like to keep my momentum of continuing to tackle the challenging stages, so I'm working backwards through the whole game, and it'll wind down with the easier levels at the end. It's kind of just a ma...

What difficulty you at? Been watching a streamer go at it at Universe difficulty, and he's having a...time Normal mode, so Galaxy. After spending October recording no-damage runs of MMX4 that will eventually be on the YT channel, I wanted to have fun breaking a game wide open as early as possible a...

Nearing what would've been the end of Disc 1 in Star Ocean: The Second Story R now. No surprise there since the game's relatively on the shorter side even for a PS1 RPG when you start focusing on the main plot and now have a fast travel option. Also probably doesn't hurt being level 60-70 with the m...

After an extended session yesterday, I'm about to go to the second continent in Star Ocean: The Second Story R . Ashton's whole quest goes way faster when you have fast travel and no random encounters. Pretty much picking up the same eight characters I did back on the PS1, so time to book it to Ling...

Started up Star Ocean: The Second Story R a couple nights ago just like I said. A few hours in, just got to Krosse and finally got the means of potentially breaking the game should I choose. Since I've never done that before, there's a good chance that'll happen. The voices are from the PSP game tha...

Only took six months of very intermittent playing, but I finally managed to get through the normal campaigns of Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp . Think I played around fifteen other games in that time when I checked my list out here. Yeah, that sounds about right. It's still a good remake that shor...

A six-month journey through Advance Wars 1 + 2 is now on the final mission. Not sure who I'm bringing yet, but yeah, I want to finish the main campaign off already with this last push. AW1 barely took me any time, but AW2 kept getting pushed back even though it's been fun mostly all the way through.

On to the final stage of Mega Man X4. I am not looking forward to getting past the Mavericks only for that yellow floating head or a piece of debris getting a stray shot in on me at some point and be forced to start things over. It'll happen, but I'll get through it without taking damage. I think.

That's using your head, kid.

No, no. I'm saying I took the save right over the bridge in the northwest to that whole part of the continent and somehow made it there. Even got to run away from a green dragon right before that. It was nuts. Now granted, I did put a "dishonest" quick save down before the DL fight at the ...

Though, I may search for the Mark of Erdrick either before or after this. The mark is in the middle of a poison swamp, so it's probably best to get Erdrick's Armor first. No, bring a wing and do a hero walk to it. It's totally worth trying once. Remember doing that back when playing it in May, and ...
