When the N64 came out, I was already starting to write game reviews for The Dallas Morning News, so I made sure to reserve one at the EB Games in the mall. They called me to pick it up the day before a math test. Guess how much studying I did for that test that night? We were all pretty impressed with Mario 64, and excited for the possibilities to come. But I ended up getting a PSOne soon after anyway. :)
I'm only at World 3 in the Mario Puzzle & Dragons game. It's actually pretty hard. Or maybe I'm just not 'getting' it. So far, though, I'm liking Pokemon Shuffle better, but I WANT to like Puzzle & Dragons more!
I never played this one so I don't have anything interesting to say about it. While I played a lot of 16-bit RPGs in high school, by the time college came around I was getting out of the RPG loop.
Splatoon is a new Wii U game by Nintendo. You are these squid kids and shoot paint at others. It's very fun and accessible.
I'm surprised Dragon Warrior was hard to find. It's pretty common considering that Nintendo was giving them away at one point to encourage people to subscribe to Nintendo Power.
I'm playing a lot of Splatoon and reviewing a Portal pinball game and dinking around with an indie 360 Dodgeball game made by the same folks who did the NES Super Dodge Ball. On the 3DS I'm playing mostly the Mario Puzzle & Dragons game. Check out my blog to see what other games I've been reviewing lately.
I have Monster Tale but never played it. I've still playing Curtain Call on my 3DS. There are so many songs! The original Theatrhythm game was my Game of the Year for 2012.
Oh neat. I always like to put a logo title like that in my reviews.
Just a couple of ideas to bounce around to you: what if you made the pen look more like a stylus pen (at least on the Wii U)? Or maybe put an exclamation point at the end of 'cross' to make it sound more exciting!
It's fine the way it is, though. I was just thinking of other ideas.
The wizards are really hard! But if you do not have your sword pointed out, you can block their spells in front with your shield. Even then, they're still really hard to avoid. This game is brutal.
The way the treasure chests appear in Druaga is not random. You have to do certain things to make them appear. For instance, you may have to kill 3 green slimes in one stage, or kill 3 knights, etc. Some of the treasures you'll NEED later on, like the speed boots. It's a really obtuse game, but surprisingly popular in Japan for some reason.
Grobda is really more of a spinoff, not a sequel, to Xevious. There are these tanks in Xevious that just sit on the ground waiting for you to shoot them, and those are the Grobda tanks. Xevious is another surpristingly popular game in Japan, they even have novels with the Xevious backstory!
