Kinda surprised he didn't have the Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS, or the Monster Hunter 4 ULTIMATE NEW 3DSXL. Those are two of the best, IMO. But of course the absolute best is the NEW 3DS with interchangeable faceplates. IMO, of course.

@chakoo My copies of both games came in just before the weekend! I think that's the fastest turn-around I've seen from Limited Run. Crazy. I have yet to play either of them, but once work settles down, I'll give 'em a spin. I do enjoy Scott the Woz so I'll give the video a look as well...!

I dunno, Kyle. I like 'Back To The Future: Part 2.' It's not a bad movie.

Fighting games are great for “pick-up-and-play” sessions since they don’t wallow in dialogue and needless wandering around to find the next story beat. It’s pretty much just straight to gameplay. Even those with story modes have relatively short scenes between you actually playing. I appreciate them specifically because how well you do is entirely dependent on your own skills. Not if you’ve leveled up enough, got the best weapon, or if your teammate bailed you out of a tight spot. It’s quite visceral. Sadly, most gamers can’t hang.

Pfft. It's coming to Steam, so if I played games like this, I'd just play it on my Deck! Weird excuse by the developer not to put it on Switch. But no big deal, I'm not mad.

@chakoo Did you get an email about this? I haven't gotten word about mine yet. Still waiting...

So you’re telling me there’s a chance…

That’s fair. I’m in a very acute minority of people that actually bothered to get the game for Wii U. (Hey, if I got a 2TB external hard drive, I’m gonna make sure I make good use of it, damn it! )

I honestly don’t remember what the PKMN selection was out of the “stable” pre-loaded on the cart. I would assume some legendaries like Mewtwo and the like aren’t available. But most are, I believe? The real disappointing thing is, (even if they gave you ALL the Pokémon to choose from) you can’t choose their move set. Whatever load out the game has, that’s what you’re stuck with. And of course, their stats are pre-determined as well. No customization whatsoever. Which gets rid of, what I would consider, the most important and vital aspect of Pokémon. The silver lining is, I suppose, is that this levels the playing field for head-to-head versus mode. You can’t just roll in with the team you’ve been building in the GB game for hours and hours on end and just wreck house against the stock Stadium creatures your friend might have to choose from. Now you actually have to be strategic about who you choose and what stats and moves the various monsters have. I’m starting to sound like a Pokémon Stadium apologist at this point, though.

Oh yes I remember. Is it good on PC? Or mostly the same as Wii U? Did you play the Wii U version?

I was thinking that, too. But then I remembered that there are a lot of different modes and mini-games that were - at least back in the day - a lot of fun to play. But yeah, I think the main "hook" of the game is pretty much lost without the Game Boy games and the Transfer Pak.

Yes.

Hmm, you liked Maiden of Black Water? What version did you play? I played on Wii U, but never finished. Wonder if the re-release is any better...?

Do my own research?!? Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Yeah...kinda me too, actually. I still haven't played Breath of the Wild. *shrug*

Is this the Fatal Frame game that was originally on Wii? And never localized?

Golf was always one of the better Wii Sports offerings, so this is a welcome addition. Not sure why it wasn't in there at the beginning, but whatevs.

Hot Shots, Everybody's Golf, now Easy Come, Easy Golf?!? WHY SO MANY NAME CHANGES WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, SEAN COMBS? I MEAN PUFF DADDY? I MEAN P. DIDDY? I MEAN DIDDY? I MEAN PUFFY?

@silentbob "...and leave Playstation out in the PERFECT Dark." C'mon, the pun was RIGHT THERE!

I'm equal parts excited and revolted about this announcement. On one hand, I'm super happy this series is making a return. On the other? They are clearly holding back songs to sell us later as DLC. *Preeeeetty* sure the songs are already complete, but S-E is gonna fleece us and make us buy 'em separately. That doesn't sit well.

Reveal your secrets!

Included in GamePass, baby!

Kinda surprised Castlevania: Symphony of the Night isn’t on Steam. Bummer.

I downloaded a game a buddy made. It's called In Retrospect and it's pretty fun. Put some time into that a lot recently. The Deck seems to be a good fit for Indie Games.
