I bounced between Xbox Series S and Switch this week, sometimes within just a few minutes. I would've done so with PS4 as well, but I've misplaced my HDMI splitter to expande two slots to four. Here's the games I really liked followed by the ones I kind of didn't stick with for very long.
I finished with Fire Emblem: Awakening and Disney Infinity. I started free-2-play game Starlit Adventures on a random roll of the dice. I rage-quit Forza Horison 5 and for relief played Microsoft Solitaire Collection and watched a ton of youtube. Sometimes, I get a bit tired of losing at games.
Like I said, I saved the best for last. These final Genesis Mini games are the ones that impressed me the most, or at least impressed me that they got put on here in the first place! Most of these games have never been on a Genesis collection before, and some have never been released at all! So let’s take a look at them!
I finished up my week with some Dreamcast fishing games and a few short games I got off Game Pass. Here's a pic of my Dreamcast fishing games and the controller.
First thing I did today was try and get OneDrive to connect files from my PC and phone to my XBO. I could only do it from the PC side. The XBO app only let me see the account linked to my XBO, not my PC account. I searched and searched for documentation on this XBO app but found nothing even on Microsoft’s own web sites. It was really frustrating.
Greetings and salutations everyone! It has been such a long time since I have written anything on here. I cannot even recap what I have bought over the months lol. But I've just been busy with school and work. Unfortunately I was let go of my job because I was only hired as a seasonal and my final day was this past Sunday. To be honest, I am kind of glad I don't work at that store anymore because the management was just terrible. It sucks though to not make my own money to buy more video games haha but there's a reason for everything.
Well Happy Tuesday Pixlbit! Again I didn’t have a Monday blog because I’ve been spending time with family. We had a birthday party/family get together which means a lot of Disney Infinity with the younger cousins, as well as other random gaming. How about a little recap of what was played? Sound good? Cool
Everyone is all excited about the new consoles like the Xbox One, but I don’t want to forget about the great game system that came before it: the 360. Last time on my blog, we looked at my favorite Xbox LIVE downloadable titles. For part two, we’ll go through my favorite disc-based games. Keep in mind that if a game is missing from my list, it may be because it was on my PS3 blog. Or I just didn’t play it. Only games I played will make this blog. OK let’s get started!
Guess what, everybody? I’ve got some big news for you all! I’ve just been hired by Capcom to lead a new R&D game development studio here in the US! I’m calling it Bulldozer Entertainment and we’ll be creating and developing new game ideas using Capcom’s vast properties and licenses. Needless to say, I’ll be very busy and you probably won’t hear much from me here anymore. But before I go, I thought I’d share with you all some of the things I’ll be working on in the coming months.

After a short hiatus and some failed podcasts post-New York Comic Con, episode 80 has finally come to fruition. And not a moment too late, as the crew for this episode (Nick, Jason, and JD) all have their Deluxe Wii Us and are excited to talk about them.
Tune in at some point after midnight EDT Sunday morning for Wii U PlayBits! What's that mean? I'll be playing the Wii U LIVE for much of this coming Sunday, and likely Monday and Tuesday. Expect to see New Super Mario Bros. U and Epic Mickey 2 at least, but you'll also likely get to watch some Nintendo Land and maybe other games! Keep an eye open for more details as the Wii U launch approaches.
This morning, Nintendo clarified the specific titles that will launch alongside the Wii U. Previously, we had only known of the launch window titles; however, that launch window extended out all the way into March of 2013. Day one Wii U consumers will be able to choose from a total of 23 titles, which include the likes of New Super Mario Bros. U, Assassin's Creed 3, and Black Ops II. Click through for the full launch list!
This morning at 10AM EST, Nintendo held a press event detailing their upcoming Wii U console, which has revealed a flurry of information. As expected, the system will drop on a traditional console release date for the company, the third Sunday in November, which this year is November 18. The system will come in two different configurations: a Basic and Deluxe Set. The Basic Set will retail for $299.99 and will come with a white console, 8GB of internal storage, a white GamePad controller, AC adapters for both the controller and console, a sensor bar, and an HDMI cable. The Deluxe Set will retail for $349.99 and will come with all items in the Basic Set, but will instead be available in black with 32GB of internal storage. It will also include a console stand, a GamePad charging cradle, a vertical GamePad stand, and Nintendo Land, as well as enrollment in the Deluxe Digital Promotion.
Join Jason and Chris as they discuss the games and shows at PAX prime. Those of you who listen in can expect Epic Mickey 2 impressions, and quite a bit of hands-on Wii U talk, as well. Listening deeper into the show will provide a bit of a breakdown on the indie titles available to play at PAX. Those curious about the indie title of which Chris could not recall the name should know the game is called "AntiChamber." After the talk about the games on the expo's floor, Chris mentions his experiences with the shows and panels at PAX. As a bonus for my loyal listeners, the beginning of the podcast includes new information about that albino GameCube controller featured last week! Click through for the download and streaming links!
Rumors of a November 18th Wii U launch date swirled today, when a NeoGAF forum thread was posted revealing a potential leak by Performance Designed Products (PDP). Apparently, at GameStop's annual Fall conference, the accessory-maker revealed it was launching various Wii U accessories on Sunday, November 18th, which lines up with Nintendo's previous holiday hardware release timelines. Similarly, another source has informed Kotaku of a PDP representative suggesting their "peripherals would be available just ahead of the Wii U's November 18 release date."
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two has something to prove. The first game created divided opinions, and the announcement of a sequel wasn't exactly highly anticipated. However, a sequel is just what Junction Point is creating, and the return of Mickey aims to appeal to a wider audience by fixing the issues of the first game while also bringing the world of Wasteland to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in addition to the Wii.
Epic Mickey was released in 2010 to extremely polarizing reviews. Junction Point aims to address the criticisms of the game in hopes of reaching a larger audience with Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. In addition to the console sequel a portable game for the 3DS from developer Dreamrift was revealed at E3, and while it shares the same concept as Epic Mickey, this title is mostly inspired by the Sega Genesis classic Castle of Illusion.
The show dates for E3 2013 have not yet been announced! Neither has the location! Did Carmen Sandiego literally steal next year's show? No? Oh. Well, looking at this year's E3, perhaps that's a bad thing. More on topic, this week's PB & Jason talks about the things that went wrong with E3 2012. As the show exited, most gamers were left with at least mild disappointment at the lack of coverage and announcements. Why? Find out inside! Also featured? Kirby's 20th anniversary collection and a tiny bit of Epic Mickey 2. Click through for the show's download and listening links!
