I played 30 minutes of Kameo today. I've had my fill, but it was a fascinating window back into that early 2000s lord of the rings fever. I didn't realize I had nostalgia for that era, but apparently so! Weirdly charming even tho it feels so dated
Some u.s. eshop prices on games that rarely get discounts: samurai shodown Neogeo collection $10, Machinarium $3, Creaks $6, castle crashers $8, assault android cactus $5, mulaka $2, obra dinn $14, night in the woods $10. Happy end of 2022
I don't play games involving Rabbids. This has always been my north star, my moral compass, my survival instinct. But after listening to the soundtrack of the new Mario + Rabbids...I might become a changed man.
Reading those Sonic Frontiers impressions from EGX, I'm finally on board. Fun movement + good music = good hedgehog video game. Like, if the game is 70% fun movement and 30% jank, that's enough for me. I'm optimistic now.
I liked Downwell a lot but never fell in love with it. Poinpy, on the other hand, feels like it was custom made for me. Played for 4 hours straight yesterday. If you liked Downwell, I'd recommend paying for a month of netflix just for this.
Some stray Nintendo thoughts: 1) Where is my Rhythm Heaven on switch. 2) I want to play Genesis games but I can't decide between buying the collection with the input lag or buying the NSO expansion. 3) new Kirby was great, putting thoughts in comments
Yesterday I discovered this remix of FF7's One-Winged Angel in the style of the Plok boss music. It is absolutely insane. Might be my favorite version of the song.
Ladies and gentlemen we ask that you please rise and remove your hats as we honor kingdom hearts 4 with the playing of the kingdom hearts anthem
One of my favorite Kirby songs
Are you keeping up with the Commodore? 'Cause the Commodore is keeping up with you.
On today's episode of "Remixes I Find on Youtube that Blow the Originals Out of the Water"...
TIL that Japan got a Peanuts game on SNES called Snoopy Concert. Hip Tanaka, one of the composers behind Earthbound (and a bunch of other Nintendo games), arranged all the music. It's great!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I might actually buy a Stadia?!? Controller + chromecast ultra currently on sale for $22. What has the world come to.
Found this today. Youtube can be a gold mine for good remixes.
The Kingdom Hearts iOS game shut down a few days ago. Anybody else check out the finale? For as much as I love dunking on the story in these games, I admire how ambitious it all is. The music helps.
F-Zero is a fun video game. And Mode 7 on SNES is still cool as shit. That is all.
ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART
Playing Mario Sunshine for the first time and loving it. Just did this eel level that has to be one of the most Nintendo-ass boss fights ever. Elaborating in comments.
Bloodborne finally done! Thoughts in comments. Spoilers.
