odessasteps Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 45 minutes to beat the 100 Pit boss. Less than 10:HP and 1 companion left. I lucked out and got the FP bingo which replenished my FP which was down to zero. Then, i remembered that goombella could give Mario 2 turns with her Power and then got me 4 Ultra Hammer attacks to take out their last 20 HP. I did not want to do it again. 1

I think the only one in the series outside of the first two Paper Mario games that I liked was Super Paper Mario. Each of the other games in the series has neat elements, but none of them did it for me. I feel like people usually enjoy SPM or tOK, but Sticker Star and Color Splash are generally disliked.
odessasteps Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 My impression was people thought color splash was big improvement over the justifiably hated Sticker Star. Maybe that’s people I know in the Nintendo reviewer community.

Ramo2653 Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Well finally finished Kingdom Hearts 1 from the collection and as with all Square RPGs, if you try to do all of the bonus fights, the actual final boss is a cakewalk. Felt good finishing off Sephiroth though. And the Xemnas fight they added in was cool too. Ending is still some somber stuff. Going to give Chain of Memories a shot. I remember not liking it at all when I had it for the Gameboy Advance. 2
odessasteps Posted August 22, 2024 Posted August 22, 2024 Finished TTYD for most part. Still need to do second Trial, some troubles and recipes.

I remember not liking it at all when I had it for the Gameboy Advance. I tried to play (Re:)Chain of Memories a couple of years back but that is just not a very good game. Even for a JRPG, there is a lot of text without saying anything to just click through while getting more and more bored, all stages are just cheap reuses from Kingdom Hearts 1, and the gameplay itself is nothing to write home about. If you want to try a non-mainline game in the collection, give Birth by Sleep a chance. It has an interesting fighting system, mostly new stages and a pretty interesting story ark. 1

I have the "Story so Far" collection which is everything leading up to KH3 and my plan is to go through all of them. And to be fair a half hour is this just shows me this isn't worth my time.
Doragon Posted August 23, 2024 Posted August 23, 2024 I'm currently playing one of the year 2017 editions of Freedoom on my mobile device. With the SIGIL maps.
The Natural Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T8bu2Y_cZb8 Batman: Arkham Asylum is 15 today. What a game for the story, atmosphere the innovative FreeFlow combat system, stealth mechanics and the Scarecrow sections. The game features from the legendary Batman: The Animated Series the late great Kevin Conroy, the late great Arleen Sorkin, Mark Hamill and Paul Dini. I completed all 240 riddles, all 20 upgrades and 42 character bios. I know some prefer Batman: Arkham City but it's always been Batman: Arkham Asylum for me. Your thoughts? 4

Great game and one of the midway harder platinums to do. The combat challenges are a pain to do. 1

Doragon Posted August 26, 2024 Posted August 26, 2024 I only played vanilla Arkham City on the PS3. I didn't bother to use most of the dlc vouchers and let it go expired. Oops.
Contentious C Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 I'm the oddball who liked Origins the best. Though I've probably played City the most because I've found it pretty easy to rack up 6-digit Combat Challenge scores.
odessasteps Posted August 27, 2024 Posted August 27, 2024 One of my gamer pals was touting this game and it looks funny, but with no demo,I’m not paying $20 for something I might or might not enjoy.
Cliff Hanger Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 Grabbed the Castlevania set; Haunted Castle Revisited is somehow the exact same game and completely different, and that's all I've tried. FUCK YES GOLD MASTER SERIES TETRIS! Digital Eclipse are the mayors of this kind of retrospective and this is an obvious choice that I'd never have thought of. Hey, only 2 weeks til I finally get to beat MSHvSF with Shadow Charlie, a hiddem character I could successfully choose 1 in 5 attempts. CFC2 looks fantastic. I'm bummed that we get Project Justice and Plasma sword without Rival Schools and Star Gladiator. And no Tech Romancer (though I don't know if I give a shit about the arcade version, a lot of what kept me coming back to that was console-exclusive.) And SFA3 UPPER has felt conspicuous in its absence in the Arcade Stadium releases, SF 30th, and the first CFC. None of the actual new games grabbed me. My gaming is getting more retrocrank-ish
Raziel Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 If anyone liked the Warioland series, I'll strongly recommend Pizza Tower. Yeah, it's been on PC for a while, but it's worth the $20 to grab it on the Switch, it's really good.
Doragon Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 Final Bubble Bobble (1988) originally for the SEGA Master System is now available for Switch users to download https://store-jp.nintendo.com/item/software/D70010000026115 Final Bubble Bobble for SMS was an updated port with several new stuff added that the NES port doesn't have. It was never released in the NTSC region.
Death From Above Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 I honestly couldn't tell you why they decided to do a second re-release of Age of Mythology but I'm glad they did, because it rules. Same as it ever was.
odessasteps Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 I started playing Balatro tonight after seeing it in the direct and talking to some of my reviewer pals. pretty fun. It’s poker, but you accumulate jokers and arcana cards to buff your hand.
Raziel Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 So, I'm enjoying the new Star Wars game so far, but it's totally a Ubisoft game, way too much reliance on the R3 button.
Doragon Posted August 28, 2024 Posted August 28, 2024 New Doraemon game is out and on the Switch https://youtu.be/xD5GiFm4bDc?si=b5DtInjjPJlKOyWc You run a sweets shop with Doraemon. The Cat Robot with no ears.
Doragon Posted August 29, 2024 Posted August 29, 2024 Castaway is a 2D top-down Zelda clone https://youtu.be/M0_Ixx-HQ-A?si=d43pqCeIhNz2mZMC It's cheap to purchase and has several different gameplay modes. It's shortish though.
