I was thinking about waiting about getting Zestiria since I have so many other games to play and review right now.  Plus, I like to NOT buy everything, that way I have some ideas to give to people who want to give me Christmas presents.  But we'll see.

So how is the music?  I heard it was done by my favorite video game music composer: Go Shiina.  He also did the music for Legendia.  Do the two games sound similar?  Also, are there any characters in Zestiria that you think I'd like?

I never understood why people liked the first NES game so much.  I hated it.  I never played the second one on Game Boy.  I did give Uprising a try.  Still hated it, as the controls were awful.  But Palutena was funny in that game. 

Believe it or not, I played Mario 3 on a PlayChoice 10 months before it came out and even before it was previewed on The Wizard.

Mario 3 is a great game, but it's not my favorite.  I'm probably one of the only people in the world who liked Mario 2 better than Mario 3.  Heck, I also like Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island better than 3.  But 3 did have some creative power-ups.

For me, the best game on the NES was probably Zelda.

Yeah I know you said no LEGO Dimensions, but I'm going to do it anyway, so nyeah!

I think LEGO Ghostbusters would work very well, even though they'd have to change some gameplay mechanics to account for ghost catching and trapping.  But a change in that regard might be good. 

The LEGO Back to the Future levels in Dimensions show that the movie doesn't always translate well to LEGO since the movies aren't all about action.

I just got done with the Midway arcade level in Dimensions where I played LEGO versions of Defender, Gauntlet, Super Sprint, and Robotron, and that was freaking awesome.

And the game also shows that a third person fixed camera Portal game really could work.

Other properties that could use the LEGO treatment include The Fifth Element, Futurama, and maybe a more fleshed out Simpsons title.  And everyone wants LEGO Zelda (just play 3-D Dot Game Heroes).

It's on the Disney XD cable channel.  Usually comes on around 4 in the afternoon (Central Time), on Monday or Tuesday.  I have to DVR it because I have to be an adult and go to work. :)

I just downloaded the demo last night and hope to try it this weekend.

I had never even heard of this one!  Sounds like an overhead Mappy game.

Thanks for the reminder.  I'll see about downloading the demo soon.  Have you seen the cartoon yet?

I got one of those when I picked up my copy of Mario Maker at my local GameStop.  It's a pretty long and narrow poster!  Neat thing is that it's also embossed.

Most of the games I was anticipating this year have already come out and I got them.  I'll be getting Zelda: Triforce Heroes tomorrow, Yo-Kai Watch in November, and that's about it for this year.  I might get Zestiria for Christmas.  Next year we have Star Fox Zero, new Zelda, and other stuff.  I'm sure I'll write a blog about it closer to the end of this year or early next.

The Wii was one of the only consoles I waited in line for.  But it was a fun wait.  I didn't get a PS3 until 2010 or so.
