I think it's pretty neat you got Megan McDuffee. River City Girls was probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing a video game version of one of my favorite anime classics, Project A-Ko. Megan's music helped capture some of the vibe of Project A-Ko.
Solid list. I really enjoyed Link's Awakening and actually felt it was worth the asking price. I enjoyed the graphical and audio facelifts, and the quality-of-life improvements in the controls made it much more playable. I enjoyed the original but the constant item switching got tedious.
It's been quite a decade.
Bioshock Infinite was a bit disappointing to me. I wasn't a fan of the first two games, but I liked what I saw of Infinite and its floating city setting. Unfortunately, the reality didn't match the hype. One of the biggest disappointments for me were the Boys of Silence, which were hyped up as these scary, predatory enemies that promised to be second only to Songbird. Instead they turned out to be glorified security cameras and only appeared in one brief section. Plus, I guess I was expecting freer exploration of Columbia.
Doom, on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise, giving us the classic gunplay with modern technology. I'm actually looking forward to Doom Eternal.
Gotta agree with you on this one. Trials is definitely the better game of the two. It fixed a lot of what was wrong with Secret of Mana's combat.
2019 was definitely a Switch year. The only two PS4 titles I was really interested in were KH3 and Shenmue III. Maybe Code Vein as well.
The Switch has a lot of games going for it. It's pretty much my favorite system of all time right now in terms of its library.
I'm 99.999999991% sure the game you speak of is... Mortal Kombat 11.
I'm willing to say that the new decade begins on New Years' Day in a couple of days. I'm well aware that there was no year 0, but back around the year 2000 there was always s couple people around that wanted to be pedantic about things. 2001 just isn't going to have the same impact as 2000, likewise 2020 is more impactful than 2021.
And to be fair, 2010-2019 is a legit ten year span, where I could see the millennium argument make some kind of sense since, technically, only 1,999 years had passed since the year 1 AD as of 1-01-2000. Ugh, this is a bit more thinking than I want to do right now.
Happy Boxing Day!
I had to cull my collection of necessity when I came to Arizona. :( I still have old stuff in storage and there are certain gaming treasures I will never give up, like my complete-in-boxes Lunar and Lunar 2 for PS1 and my copy of Final Fantasy IX autographed by composer Nobuo Uematsu at Distant Worlds in Omaha. My Switch is turning into an impressive game collection on its own.
I never finished Vesperie on 360 either, and I didn't realize how much of it was left when I stopped playing. I finished the Definitive Version on Switch.
I've never been a huge PC gamer. A lot of the games I enjoy aren't on PC. I've pretty much used laptops for the past ten years. And after my last Windows laptop croaked, I bought a used MacBook Air instead, and for my purposes, it's the best computer I ever owned, and I'm in no hurry to go back to Windows. So consoles it is.
If we're counting it as a new release and not a late port, and I think it has enough new content to qualify, Dragon Quest XI S for Switch.
If not, then Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Those two games stood out for me in a year packed with great releases.
