So far, so good. Tons of weapon types invite several unique styles of gameplay. I've played probably 30 stages of it, since they're about two or three minutes long apiece, and each stage feels a little unique.
Not ready for a review, though! Depending on how many stages and unlockables there are, it could be anytime from Sunday to partway through next week that I write it.
I probably spent about a hundred hours total in Banjo Tooie. Most of them looking for Stop 'n' Swop.
For some reason, I really wanted to be able to take Banjo and Kazooie back into all the stages in the witch's lair, and that was one of the main things I thought SnS would do. I should've just played Banjo Kazooie if I wanted to play Banjo Kazooie's stages.
I tried to download the promo copy Square Enix gave us today, so I could begin to play it for a review. Unfortunately, it looked like PSN was down at the time. Keep your eyes and ears open to hear more about the game in the upcoming days!
Looks like the movie is set to come out in November. It's a definite buy, and dare I say, a Blue-Ray buy for me!
OH NO! I forgot about some awesome fanart I received! And it was even music-related! It'll be in the next issue, I promise!
This isn't my favorite issue, for some reason. I had to record it over multiple sessions, in different locations, and I think it kind of drones on for that reason. If you don't like how this particular issue starts out, I urge you to jump about fifteen minutes in and find the part about Video Games Live and the new music, since those are, honestly, in retrospect, the better parts.
Next issue has already been recorded, and I have to say, PB & Jason comes back in full force with it, so make sure to stay tuned!
I've read the online co-op for the PSN version of Lara Croft would also be missing initially, just like in the 360 version. I suppose anyone reading can consider this a heads-up if he or she is interested.
I'm pretty sure my staff title is longer than everyone else's, so I'd definitely win that award.
That's what I've been saying all along!
We had originally planned a Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure PlayBit, but given the turn-out of the NSMBWii event we had right before E3, we really didn't know if we'd see many people show up.
I will say, this PlayBit will be worth attending just for a chance at some of the E3 swag. I'll try to talk to Nick to figure out exactly how we'll do it, but last I was aware of, we had several swag prize packs premade, ready for contests. Chances are, the winner will get first pick at which prize pack he or she wants.
Anyway, if enough of you all show up, we'll have a fun contest. Then, if there's enough genuine interest, perhaps we'll plan another PlayBit (Maybe go back to Four Swords Adventures) for sometime soon. I can only hope!
Edit: *Ahem* Since you did miss it, now would be a good time to draw attention this way.
I wonder if the assist feature will only utilize other playable characters, like how the PSX version of Marvel Vs. Capcom worked, or if it will be styled closer to the more Final Fantasy tradition of summoning. I suppose time will tell...
We have lots of swag bundles to potentially give away, so make sure you arrive and your friends do, too. I'm sure Nick and Chessa are tired of storing it all in their house!
