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.
So it's been 90s week on my Switch this week. I got Turok a little over a week ago, and then I've also been playing a certain little known PS1 RPG that somehow just found its way onto a Nintendo console over 20 years later. And that got me thinking about the N64.
A Legend 20 years in the making
Jazz Jackrabbit headed to GBA this year, but I still remember playing it on PC at the neighbors'.
I guess this is a little late, seeing as how we are headed into February as of tomorrow, but here are my top games of 2017.
Recently a friend of mine found out that I like to play video games as a hobby. He plainly told me that he thought it was immature for a grown man to be playing video games. I told him that most gamers today are adults. This led to a serious discussion about this topic. Here are some things which he said and my arguments against them. I'm posting this because I want your guys' thoughts on this topic.
Well, it looks like Nerds Without Pants is reaching the end of Chrono Crossing. I didn't consistently participate in it, and I regret that. But I enjoyed talking about my favorite games of every year. Brought back a lot of memories.
So May is kind of looking bad on the game beating side. Ive been working on stuff of course but I really dont think anything is close to being finished. Persona 5 Im at 80 hours but there is still quite a bit to go. Yokai Watch 2 I got my ass handed to me by the latest boss so some leveling up is required. I am Setsuna, same story. The current boss Im at keeps kicking my ass and I dont have Setsuna for this fight which she is my healer so it makes it even more difficult. Wonder Boy and Shovel Knight I both havent played much lately. Tales of Berseria Im not sure how far Im in, the same with Toukiden 2 but at the same time Persona 5 has taken up most of time on the PS4. I only have 4 days now to beat a game. Its doesnt look good yall.
So I bought Ocarina of Time for the 3DS to fill my Zelda itch. I didnt like BOTW so Im left with a itch like a damn rash to play a Zelda game. I have a friend who is trying real hard to convince me to give BOTW another try at some point and I might. I Might. Till then Im gonna work on finishing OOT again.
So what's your favourite? If you're having trouble, allow me to give some examples:
So my rental copy of Stardew Valley came in and I've been playing it. While it wasn't my first choice (it was literally my last choice in my GameFly Q), in a way the timing couldn't be more perfect.
Welcome to a musical masterpiece edition of Nerds Without Pants! We are joined by John Brandon of the Square Roots Podcast, and this episode is so epic we had to split it into two parts. Let’s jump into this one, shall we?
I was thinking about the consoles I collected in the 90s. There was the NES, SNES, Genesis (with 32X and CD add-ons), Playstation and N64. I had some great game experiences with all of them, but when I think about which one I enjoyed the most, it was the N64.
MvC Arcade ... maybe ... I mean I've played it since cause movie theaters exist, but I THINK I actually played it in '98.
I remember the first time I played Super Mario 64 and was amazed at seeing Mario move in 3D. I remember thinking how vast and expansive the fields of Hyrule looked in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. And I remember carjacking a truck, driving as fast as I could until flying off a cliff in Grand Theft Auto III. At the time, these games all had an unrivaled sense of freedom. They formulated a magical feeling, as new doors seemed to open and an experience I could only imagine was now real. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild now joins these titles in creating the same sense of wonder.
It’s been a pretty crazy week. To think I plopped $360 for a Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is quite interesting. In a way, it reminds me of when I stood in line for the Nintendo Wii. I bought it strictly to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Yes, sure it was also for the Gamecube and Breath of the Wild is also on Wii U, but I was going to plop money on the Switch regardless. It was bound to happen. I’m a Nintendo fan. I’ve been a fan since I was 7 years old playing The Nes and SNES respectively. After spending a week in the Wild I figured I would offer up a little review or synopsis of my experience with the latest Zelda.
It's the peultimate day of BaD so even though I may not have gotten to every game in my collection, It's been a blast showcasing and highlighting my stupid collection of crap. So here are today's games!
As per my previous blog, I got both a New 3DS and a laptop!! Woo we're back and fully gaming, baby!
10 Years of Twilight Princess...
