Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I think it was the sheer amount of milking that gave the series a bad name alright but glad to know it isn't just me that actually really digs the series for what it is. It is just a nice change of pace between meatier titles that I have been juggling.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

While I am still going through Nier Replicant (nearly finished Route B) I figured I would try something a little more relaxing so am currently playing Angry Birds Trilogy for the 3DS. I know that for some gamers this is looked down as casual guff but I find it perfect for zoning out while I listen t...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

From what I have seen this was a pretty interesting Direct. A remake of Super Mario RPG was a lovely surprise and I wonder if this might come back as the true Mario RPG series what with Mario and Luigi gone under due to Alpha Dream going bankrupt and Paper Mario now being a very different beast from...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I am currently going through a translated version of DoReMi Fantasy: Milon's DokiDoki Adventure for the SNES and this is a lovely little gem of a game that I do not understand was stuck in Japan. It is not too challenging but the levels are inventive, you have a nice range of movement and it looks a...

Re: Introducing Kids to games

Don't have kids myself but my brother got my niece and nephew a Switch last Christmas with Mario Kart and Switch Sports. The youngest is 8 so can definitely know his way around a controller but I remember they both struggled with Mario Kart quite a bit. Granted, this was their first console and they...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Just starting up chapter 7 of Mother 3 . Remember this being the longest chapter but also lots of memorable stuff happens in this one in particular. Still a complete delight. After a somewhat lackluster start Nier Replicant is starting to really grow on me now. Getting much more into the story and t...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Seen some interesting titles in the May sale on the Playstation store with Nier Replicant ver. 1.22474487139… (not a fan of this convoluted naming convention. What is this, Kingdom Hearts?) being very reduced in price so snatched it up. Absolutely adored Automata and seeing as this is a remaster of ...

Re: Games Completed 2023

Oh definitely there is certainly stuff here that can be elaborated on to make a more balanced follow up but the completion requirements need to be overhauled a lot to prevent frustration/burnout. When I had certain levels mastered it is genuinely a good time but there were quite frankly also section...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Nearly done all the N.verted levels in Crash Bandicoot 4 . Have to admit these levels can be a bit of a slog at times depending on the gimmick. One world had the levels in that Ben Day dot style used in comic books and the dots were so big it was straining my eyes to look at it for too long and as a...

It is pretty amazing alright even if it can be bonkers in its difficulty sometime. Makes me want to try out the Dreamcast original someday.

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

My main memory of this game was one evening I was playing it on holiday, my parents had taken me to one of those evening shows they do in the hotel which was some kind of singing act like a Neil Diamond act which I had no interest in whatsoever so I took my DS to play through the duration. So there...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

So finished up main game of Crash 4 but am now going through the N-Verted levels. Last level, Cortex Castle was an absolute ball breaker. Cannot remember the last time I swore so much at the screen! This definitely is the hardest Crash I have played and while I did get very annoyed at it I reckon I ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I thought I finished Kirby's Dreamland 2 but turns out I need seven Rainbow Drops. No clue I needed to obtain anything special to get the true ending. Might as well try and get them but heard they were pretty tricky to find. Actually housebound because of COVID so will most likely just check out a w...

Re: 567: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Luigi's Mansion 2)

While I did not play it at the Gamecube’s launch, when I eventually tried the original Luigi’s Mansion I was impressed by its presentation and how different it was from any of Mario’s adventures. It was nice to see Luigi established as his own developed character and the graphics really pushed the n...
