Starlink, Advance Wars and Zelda Wind Waker


Posted on 12/08/2019 at 08:16 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I reviewed Starlink last year.

http://www.gamerdad.com/blog/2018/12/07/starlink-battle-for-atlas-switch-ps4-xbox-one/

I can't imagine getting anything but the Switch version, though, because of Star Fox.

I think the only other Starlink thing I'd get is the Razor figure, because I think she looks cool.  But the figures are so dinky it would have to be REALLY cheap for me to get it.  And I really don't play Starlink anymore anyway.

I've never played Advance Wars or Fire Emblem.  Just not into strategy.

In Wind Waker's defense, and this is kind of a weak excuse, but in past Zelda games since Link to the Past, running into trees to knock things down from them has been kind of a puzzle staple. Plus it's just fun to make Link run into things like an idiot.

I use guides all the time.  No shame in that.  Games are supposed to be fun, and getting stuck in one isn't.  So whatever you have to do to make the game fun is fine.  

I think we are spoiled with the Internet now, since it's so easy to look up a guide.  Remember when we'd have to get an actual guide or wait for a magazine to get a solution to a game problem?  I do miss print strategy guides, though.  Many of them were MUCH better written than today's online guides.

I saw Yo-Kai Watch at my Five and Below as well.  I already have the game, and couldn't think of anyone else who would like it, so I didn't get it.  Yo-Kai Watch was really popular in Japan for a while.  It's a Pokemon ripoff with ghosts, but not near as good.

Yeah I think the 2nd Encore just means it has all the DLC and stuff.

My Friend Pedro hasn't even been out that long and it's already on Game Pass?  Devolver (who I also have a good relationship with), offered me a review copy, but it didn't look like my kind of game so I declined.

An RPG with 16-bit style graphics sounds great.  Dying a lot does not.

I think Vegas alway changes a lot.  Neat thing about the Grand Canyon is that photos just don't do it justice.

Oh I'm HORRIBLE at fighting games.  Heck, I had SkullGirls set on the easiest setting (called "Sleepwalk") and I still couldn't beat the last boss with many of the characters.  But I've enjoyed fighting games more recently than I did in the past.  Seriously, early 2-D fighters like Street Fighter 2, feel slow and clunky to me in comparison to the more smoother fighters of today.  But I've always found the characters in fighting games fascinating.  Whether they are goofy karate guys or tough, strong women (I have a soft spot for those), they are at least a small bit interesting.  And yeah, SkullGirls is very good for an indie game.

Yeah the characters are really cool and I was surprised how good the stories were.  I liked them anyway.  And it's neat how some of the little details tie in together.  Like the super hero show that Beowulf starred in is the same show that Peacock likes to watch on TV!

I went to Vegas about ten or so years ago.  It was interesting.  We stayed at the Excalibur and took a day trip to see the Grand Canyon.  I remember going to the M&M's Store and GameWorks Arcade and we ate at a sushi buffet and an italian buffet.

My best friend got a NES and Super Mario Bros. about a year before I did.  Mario was neat, but it wasn't enough to get me to buy a NES, and I was perfectly happy playing Pengo on my Atari 5200.  But the next year he got Zelda and that's when I wanted a NES.  You know what impressed me the most about Zelda back then?  That you could actually save your game!
