Today I played EDF Insect Armageddon and Kingdome Hearts III. Then I thought I'd share my plans for media in April.
So, as Rick Dalton has his moment of crisis and doubt and overcame it, I did the same with Super Mario World, as far as the main road to Bowser's Castle was concerned. The last 2 areas leading to the castle (Chocolate Island and Valley of Bowser, if memory serves correct) were the hardest of the journey, harder than I remember. Trying to make it through Larry Koopa's castle was so maddening (Magikoopa, eat shit and die, you fucking fuck) but I eventually powered through. SMW also has one of the great end credit sequences in a video game; the music, the character roster, the long trek back through all the worlds (at least as depicted through the background).
As of January 1, 2020, we're entering a new decade in gaming (let's not go into pedantic debates about the.year zero here). It's hard to believe, it just seems like 2010, a time of Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and Kinect, was just yesterday, and the world of the 2000s was still fresh in my mind.
In the first part of my 3DS tribute blog, we looked at my favorite downloadable games. Now we’re going to look at my favorite physical cartridge games. Now of course, you could download many of these games, too, but I had them in cartridge form so they’re going here. There’s a lot to cover so let’s get started!
So we've just had E3, and the year is half over. We have the PS5 and the Xbox Scarlet on the horizon, as well as rumors of a Switch hardware revision. But there are a lot of games coming down the pipeline, including some games which finally havs a release date after God knows how many years. So here is what I'm looking forward to.
I'm going to make what will, again, probably be my only BaD contribution.
How have you guys been? Did you have a good holiday?
Last year, Nintendo released the NES Classic Edition, a smaller sized 8-bit NES shaped console with 30 classic games. It’s been notoriously hard to find, and I’ve been a bit bummed that I haven’t been able to get one. But I wasn’t TOO upset because most of the games I played on the NES were from Capcom, not Nintendo (Mega Man and Disney games). But the 16-bit Super Nintendo is my all-time favorite console ever. It was the gaming console that really cemented my preference for console games, and the system just clicked for me for some reason. So when Nintendo released the SNES Classic Edition in the same vein this year, I REALLY wanted to get it. Luckily, my family got it for me for my birthday! Nintendo DID say they were making more of the SNES Classic Edition, and I don’t know if that’s really true or not, or if we were just more prepared this time. But not only was I able to get one, but three of my brothers got one, too! So to celebrate me getting a SNES Classic Edition, here’s a blog about all the games on it!
Hey, it’s a bonus episode of Nerds Without Pants! Oh, you lucky people. Basically, we’ve fallen behind on Consumption Junction stuff, so we got together to catch up on a bunch of games, media, and crazy tangents. Enjoy!
As per my previous blog, I got both a New 3DS and a laptop!! Woo we're back and fully gaming, baby!
I enjoy watching E3 every year and trying to see the “theme” of each show. From second screen experiences to asynchronous multiplayer, there is always something that ties everything together. For E3 2016 that theme seemed to be that of change. While there may not have been a lot of surprises at this show thanks to a lot of companies pulling out and a record number of leaks, we did see a lot of high profile projects that looked, well, different. So let’s take a look at some of those well-worn properties looking to impress us by shaking things up.
Instead of a wishlist where I list what new games I'm looking forward to, I'm going to list I want to play whether released in 2016 or not. Some will be new to me, some will be replays/continuations, and as part of my year's resolution, I hope to complete most of them.
It seems like the Lynch Mob isn't coming after all. Or maybe they are gathering numbers, sharpening pitchforks, and making sure there's plenty of torches to go around. I might as well write something in the meantime.
2015 looks like a crazy good year with what we have announced so far. I'm sure something will get delayed, but on the other hand, I'm also sure Nintendo will announce three or four awesome games that will make up for them at E3. While there's a lot to enjoy, these five stand out head and shoulders from the rest of the pack in my mind.
