Re: The Wii U First Launched Eight Years Ago Today

JDavies

Great memories of the wiiu, Nintendoland, wii sports club, zelda remakes, sm3dw, bayonetta 2, xbcx -There were more great games and ideas than what warrants the flop. Mine’s still connected and still gets some playtime by both me and the kids.
Also a pity they suspended miiverse. It was fun while it lasted (it still is).

Re: Review: Trials of Mana - Old And New Combine To Create A Fine RPG Adventure

I’m currently shooting through the collection, nostalgia stardom that still holds up - mystic quest done, 2/3 of SoM done and afterwards I’ll be going through SD3. Would probably get this straight away if XCDE wasn’t launching in a month. I’ll get this after that then.

Also a bit miffed that Collection of Mana didn’t include Legend of Mana - nice time-killer with an undeserved bad rep though not as good as SoM and SD3. Oh well.

Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Super Mario Galaxy 2

As it happens, this game sprung to mind this morning, not sure why. In any case I booted up the Mario Galaxy Suite on youtube for some nodtalgia. Just how good can a soundtrack get when you get all soft and squishy upon hearing the bit from gusty garden. And this has been played countless times bur I still get instant goosebumps. Fantastic game.

SinceI did my time on Hyrule Warriors back on the Wiiu and they released Pirate Warriors about the same time I went for that one. It’s much the same, time-management in a package of fan-service and wild action - and they’re both fun. I’ll be keeping on keeping on when allowed. I’ve been told I’m going to put up a small picket fence in the backyard today.

I`m booked on a small hotel retreat and my SO would kick my ass so hard if I brought the Switch so not much for me. I did however make some progress on MarioRabbids on friday, the game somehow got left a bit cold when SMO and XC2 launched stealing all attention. M+R is a fantastic game so I`m glad I`ve returned to finish it.
