Great, TOTK when?

Looks absolutely amazing. I don't know if I'll be playing it at this point, but so far it looks like a winner.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant This IS my life currently. I rarely play games on first drop nowadays.

With that said, looks like it'll be worth the wait when I finally get to it.

@LinktotheFuture That reference, Yes, hi five. IYKYK.

Smart crossover of two time sucking games.

I've got Mario by a couple years in all, but I got SMB by 6, so... I don't realistically think I'll make it to his 100th, but I'll try. Like someone mentioned, I was here to see him born, so we're like brothers, bound together for the rest of my life.

I'm intrigued to know where 3D Mario goes from here. Space was pretty ultimate, then we took Mario on an odyssey through different dimensions-- I literally don't know what could be next. That's why I still want a Super Mario Odyssey 2, or even 3. There's so many more worlds that Mario could explore before going to the next big theme, whatever that is. But this is Nintendo we're talking about, so they will always find some kind of way to surprise.

Still going strong with Chrono Cross, and I think I'm in the final 3rd now.

I know it wasn't on the list, but I see Clock Tower is 50% off. I think I'll nab that.

Sakurai is insane with the level of content he puts in his games. I could never do it all, but I love how he covers the bases.

I... May actually consider this now. Nightdive is amazing.

Still waiting on Super Metroid. Guess we'll get that when MP4 drops.

They're really pushing this game. I hope it succeeds, and it looks fun. I just don't think I'll be putting in time on it.

Can't judge what didn't come in being, but if the cutscenes were poignant as is, then i agree there's no reason to update them "unless" they could deliver the same level or better, which was likely not worth the effort... who knows?

I always wanted to compete RE0, because I always liked Rebecca Chambers, but every time I'd start it, I'd stop or get stuck. It's 2 character flow was an issue for me-- If it does get re-released I hope they can improve that system.

I sampled this (out of desperation to play it) via emulation. Until my laptop quit, I at least put in 2hrs of gametime roughly, but I would really rather play a formal release in the US, so I haven't touched it since. SE seems to be digging a touch in the crates lately, so there is a chance of a re-release... Then my SNES RPG journey will be completed. I just hope they don't HD-2D it-- I feel it's sublime the way it is and would lose some of its visual charm, but that's just me.

This weekend is all Chrono Cross with a chance of Pokémon Legends Arceus.

NSO only for convenience, but when I'm more serious about an outing, I whip out the original deck. Not beyond pulling out the NES Mini for smaller moments.

It feels good to make the leaderboards for once. If I wasn't distracted getting off this plane I probably would have answered faster LOL

Thank your for your contributions, Itagaki-san. Rest knowing that your works you created will not be erased from history.

I'm very intrigued by this review. I'm going to check it out in action to see if it's for me.

I am SO HYPE for this game.

I get Clock Tower vibes in execution only and that's not a bad thing. This game is one of those games, like Forgotton Anne, where the animation and story are the draw, so I'm likely to pick this up at some point on creativity alone.

Thank you, Gregg. You were responsible in part for some of my best childhood gaming. Good luck on your future. I'm hoping he will join Playtonic-- Might as well.

So, improved battle system but limited environment. That's kind of what I expected from this game. I still have yet to make it through Arceus, so this gives me more incentive to proceed.

Oh how I hate the world we live in. Nothing is sacred.

For this weekend, it'll be...

Chrono Cross As a Chrono Trigger fan, I've vowed to play through this. This game feels like soul food.
Pokemon Legends Arceus Need to see if I want to get serious about this one.
Rocket League Change of pace game.
Mario & Wario After all these years, finally.
Bubsy in Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind Finally get to form my opinion.

I love a fun pinball game and this video instantly grabbed me. I wish listed this.

Good review, I wasn't looking this game's way at first, but now I'll add it to the wish list.

I figured that's what this was getting to. Furukawa did say they were going to do these. I'm hoping they can do this for StarFox, Metroid, and F-Zero to name a few.

Mario & Wario, now this is a surprise. Finally I'll get to play it. Since they want to utilize the mouse so much (and light gun/IR Pointer is not a thing), they should be able to drop the Super Scope 6 and Yoshi's Safari games now.

My yearly habits are, I only buy a brand spanking new game when it drops if I just have to have it (like an evergreen title I've been waiting on), but generally, I wait for deep sales for digital-only downloads, and rent the rest through GameFly.

I reeealy thought this was a Pikmin stunt, then no Pikmin. Cute nonetheless, but mysterious.

I regularly play a round or two of Mario's Super Picross, so this pretty cool-- And then I realized that I let my NSO lapse. Meh.

@PJOReilly We're definitely from the same age group. Love your articles ✌️

OB64: PoLC... What a surprise that was for me on N64. Definitely took the taste of Quest 64 out of my mouth, ptooey. I had never played a real time strategy up to this point, and I had so much fun creating units, strategizing map placement, and improvising when things don't go the way I'd hoped on the fly. I've hoped forever for a new "Ogre Battle" game, but Unicorn Overlord will do for now.

I've waited this long, I can wait a little longer.

So Ardi kicks (lightning) high... Got it. As for Zelda's maid, I look forward to seeing her battle... Seems like a clever off the wall type.

All I would need is gyro. As for the button locking, I can't say I've hit those buttons in the heat of gaming on a pro controller, but I have more often than not hit the capture button on the joycon in handheld mode.

I just played the Mojogami demo. I'm usually team "All Inti-Creates!", but there's a couple of games lately where I've been "eh", but this one actually was pretty entertaining to me, so I'll scope the full game out. I beat Berserk Boy last night... Good indy game, well worth my time. I'm on to focus on Lords of Exile this weekend. I've been dabbling in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate lately, just for fun... I missed the boat, so I'm just enjoying the spirit of it until the next inevitable iteration. I might slide in a little Rocket League. And the real one I need to get back to is Chrono Cross-- I need to see this through to the end.

@Zuljaras Yes, Faxanadu! Kudos!

This looks up my alley. Glad to know it's a worthwhile game should I seek it out.

@Grim There's a max for the wishlist? Pray tell, what would that number be?

Super Metroid, no doubt. The original, suspenseful, dead body laden, quiet pulsating baby Metroid, subtle appearance of "Super Metroid" appearing. Set the tone right for them all, to me.

But did anyone find a minus world on the original Lost Levels (SMB2 JP) rather than with Super Mario All-Stars?

I don't know if I'll get the chance but I would love to play through Triangle Strategy. Backlog, backlog...

I will have to find the time for this one. This is how I want to start the Trails series. The characters are endearing, the world is believable in a way only Falcom knows how to present, though the narrative does get long winded at times. But it just "feels" fun, and that's all I need.

I know people have to move on but you'll be missed Zion. Good luck on your future endeavors!

Well, that's almost all the MegaMans series now. I wasn't sure they'd do a Starforce Legacy Collection or not, but they did, so that leaves a hypothetical MegaMan Legends Legacy Collection with Legends 1, 2, and perhaps The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. One can hope. MML had evaded me for far too long.

These are some good looking alt-style N64 pads. I'm actually interested.

@Yalloo Berserk Boy wears it's Mega Man/Mega Man X inspiration hard on its sleeve coupled with a speedy flow at times reminiscent of Freedom Planet. I don't like a lot of Mega Man clones, but this one is top tier on gameplay and presentation.

Current rotation this weekend will be...

Berserk Boy
Bloodless
Lords of Exile

... And the Sonic Crossworlds demo.

I haven't played all the Klonoas but one (can't recall which... I think the one on Wii?), but it was just an enjoyable game. I don't really know why either. I'm not a die hard fan, but I like this character and concept.
