I am probably just be playing Fortnite on PlayStation 5 today. I have been having a great time in Creative mode, (Murder Mystery FTW). I have also been enjoying the Save The World game mode. Good times for sure!
I still do enjoy some Fortnite, especially this new Fortnite OG season. The game was getting too far out in left field for me to enjoy what it was offering. I am having a much better time with it now, and I have been enjoying playing it both solo and with my brother in duos. I personally feel it is the most well rounded Battle Royale shooter out there, and I haven't had a similar experience with any of the others I have played. I just like that it is easier to get into, and doesn't turn into a sweat lobby type of game.
I actually prefer the European variant by a wide margine this time. There is quite a bit more interesting detail going on in that one than in the North American variant. And it just seems more colorful.
This is not something that my kids would really be interested in since they don't currently enjoy Zelda games currently, though I am pretty stoked to see the movie myself!
I expected nothing less. Regardless of this particular entry's placement on the all time greatest Super Mario games, the franchise has only gotten more popular. This statistic doesn't surprise me in the least.
I still need to pick this one up! I have played all the other entries (except for the Nintendo 3DS entry, which doesn't count imo), and I have been itching for some RTS style gameplay. No game does it in a cuter fashion than Pikmin!
I don't think it will ever catch up to BOTW until it is inevitably re-released on the next Nintendo console. I personally still haven't completed the main story in the game, even after putting 150 hours into it.
The graphical aesthetics do interest me, but the core gameplay loop doesn't. This one will be a pass for me. I am still looking for the next great roguelike to play. The last one I truly enjoyed was Hades.
North America all the way on this one. Not having a single Kirby centered up on the box art for the European variant easily persuades me in that direction. No brainer for me on this one!
I have getting back into The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom recently since I never finished the game when it first released even though I had put close to 120 hours into it. It has been reinvigorating playing it again and learning more about the lore, and grasping a deeper understanding of the game's mechanics. There is always something new to figure out in this game, regardless of how long you play it. That is probably one of the best things about this entry.
I'd say he is probably correct, though I have only played Super Mario Wonder so far. I tried playing Spider Man Miles Morales and was pretty bored early in so I didn't go back to it. I can't see myself doing that with Super Mario Wonder.
So far, mine is definitely the Nintendo Switch pro controller. That controller simply fits the best of my hand. I could see myself using the Joy cons though, especially in multiplayer.
I definitely like them. I don't mind the voice acting currently, and they help breathe life (and sometimes provide hints) in the game. I couldn't see myself playing the game without them, at least the first couple playthroughs. They are a part of the core experience for me.
Currently, I would probably give the game close to a 9 since I haven't made it far enough to experience the whole game yet. That may change once the credits roll!
The best siblings in gaming will always be Mario and Luigi for me. There have been a few other stand out siblings in my time gaming, but none were more, and still are more impactful.
In response to the first letter that is reviewed, I would absolutely prefer a Super Mario Odyssey sequel. I did enjoy Bowser's Fury, but I felt like creativity was stifled because the limitations of the gameplay. And Super Mario Odyssey, you can play as many different times in as many as different ways as you can think of. A very adaptable game.
Honestly, this one was kind of tough to choose. I did end up voting for the North American variant, but the European name was more interesting to me. This one was kind of a toss-up for me.
Coincidentally, my girlfriend has been watching this show again after many years of not being able to watch it. For me myself, it has been a fun trip down memory lane. I will say though, I never did play the Gargoyles game. Honestly hadn't even heard of it until it was brought up. I still don't think I really want to play it.
I had a Game Boy Color when I was a kid, I believe it was a turquoise colored one. I didn't have it very long though, because I recieved it as a gift around the time that the Game Boy Advance came out, so I was very quickly upgraded to the Game Boy Advance. I still have fun memories of the short time that I had one though.
I will more than likely be playing MLB The Show 23, and plenty of Super Mario Wonder this weekend. Two quality titles that will easily divide my attention, and provide enjoyful, meaningful experiences.
That is a pretty awesome little fact with an animation to back it up! Little details like those are why I enjoy Nintendo games so much. I am sure we will be learning new little things about this game years after its release. I am very much looking forward to Friday.
I honestly didn't think this port was ever going to come out. I really enjoyed this game on PS5, and I curious to see how this port holds up. Definitely looking forward to the review.
I am incredibly hyped for this game, and my whole family feels the same way. I will definitely be playing this one day one, and this week is a paycheck week so all good on that front!
Awesome! The differences in the video ease my concerns of a far superior port of the PlayStation 5 version. I am typically.one to want the games I purchase to have the best visual fidelity, but in this case, I will be picking this up on Nintendo Switch. Not just because of the visuals, but also because of everyone in my family being able to play it. Great stuff when the ports run similarly.
It is an awesome sight seeing the Sonic franchise getting it's time in the limelight again in terms of review scores. I have always like Sonic games regardless, but the fact that Sega is figuring out (again) what makes a Sonic game great is music to my ears. I will definitely be picking this one up for my family.
More than anything, I will be playing this game with my kids if I buy it. Even with the chaotic nature of a 4 person Sonic game, it would be a fresh, and interesting experience for my family. For that reason alone, it will most likely secure a purchase.
And I will be avoiding those spoilers with the entirety of my soul. I want this game to be completely new to me, besides the bits and pieces I have already seen. Super Mario games don't come out very often, so spoilers sting a little bit harder for me with this series.
I personally have been playing some of the Modern Warfare 3 beta ( which is good fun at times, though mlre of the same with a slightly different feel)
I have also been playing MLB The Show 23 on PlayStation 5. I have been enjoying the simulation aspects of it since I hardly ever play sports games. This is probably the first one I have enjoyed since my Sega Genesis days.
Pretty solid gaming all around! I'll be playing Super Mario Wonder when that one comes out!
Easily the Japanese variant due to the extra artwork. I have never played this game before so I really don't think my opinion is super well informed on this one. I went off of artwork alone in this case.
I played this one for a short length of time a while back but the game didn't really stick with me. I am not the biggest fan of Kirby in the first place though. I love the character, but the game mechanics are always hard for me to put a whole lot of effort into. They just don't hold my attention.
After finishing Resident Evil 4 Remake, and having a great time with that one, I have now moved on to playing Final Fantasy VII Remake on PlayStation 5. I also have never played that game either, so both remake experiences were/are brand new experiences I have not played before, and a true joy. Honestly, at this point, I do not know which one I like more. They have both been friggin fantastic so far. I guess I will have to see when the credits roll which remake I liked the most. Hopefully everyone else has a great weekend.
I will be finishing up Resident Evil 4 Remake on PlayStation 5 and will be in the process of considering buying the Ada Wong dlc for extra content. Beyond that, I am unsure as to what I will play next.
I am really curious how much of an improvement these updates will be capable of. If they are trying to keep it at 60 fps, it may be challenging unless they have some tricks up their sleeve.
For me, spoilers in a new Super Mario game would be something like learning about the new worlds, powers, and secret unlockables. I personally do try to stay away from spoilers even in Super Mario games because as progression is made in the game, all of the mentioned above occurs, and would dampen my enjoyment of the game if I already knew what to expect from my playthrough. There isn't much fun in that. I'll have fun regardless though since I will be playing this with my family. That will make all the difference regardless of spoilers.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Contact
The clear winner is easily the North American variant for me this time. For me, the European variant is barely a box art.

Re: Mini Review: Alien Hominid Invasion - An Explosive, Superior Sequel
