When I was a kid, I had a Russian Blue cat named Chekov who loved to watch me play Nintendo games. He would either swat at the screen or try to push the buttons on my controller. He was a really smart cat, too. I taught him how to play fetch, open doors, and use the toilet. No lie.
Back in the 70's you could order parts to build your own electronics from a catalog called Heathkit. My dad did that and built a metronome and our first TV! When he built our TV, he added a Pong-like game console in the back, so if you wanted to play, all you had to do was pull out the controllers and turn it to channel 3 (or 2, can't remember). Back then, I was so young that I didn't realize it was a video game. I just thought it was something you could do when there wasn't anything else on TV.
On the original PSOne, there was a Pong update that was pretty cool. It gave the paddles personalities, and you had to do some pretty creative things while playing Pong, like herding sheep!
I got the first Bravely Default game. It was fun at first but then kept adding more and more rules to the battles to where it was hard to understand. Plus the game kind of meadandered a bit. So I didn't get the sequel since I never finished the first. Is it too much to ask for a simple RPG nowadays? I hope the Switch RPG I'm reviewing soon, I Am Setsuna, stays simple and classic.
I'm thinking more like she should team up with Captain Toad.
Oh yeah this is probably the hardest Zelda game since Zelda 2 on the NES.
There are some things about this Zelda game that I don't like as much, like how hard it is and how easy it is for weapons to break, and a few other little minor quibbles. But so far the game is incredibly addictive. I do hope that Nintendo doesn't permenantly change future Zelda games to be like this, because I do like having more dungeons and stuff. I haven't been able to play it as much as I'd like. I beat the giant elephant and now I'm working on that giant camel.
Breath of the Wild reminds me of Mega Man X. I prefer the original Mega Man, but the first Mega Man X game is exactly what the series needed at the time to stay fresh. Zelda games have been awfully formulaic as of late (actually for a while), so Breath of the Wild is exactly what the series needs right now.
PS: I've been calling it Cooking Mama Link, because cooking is what I've been doing the most in that game. I also like Link's eating animations.
I think they should let me make the next Tomb Raider game. Don't you think I'd do a good job with that/ :)
My next blog will be about my favorite Wii U games, so perhaps you should hold off on trading it in until you read my list? Maybe?
Me, too. I really prefer old-school, top down, 2-D Zelda games.
Well I didin't get the Switch just for Zelda. I got it for the promise of new games and the chance to review more games on it, too.
