Damn this bangs. Meteo though... Whew!

Right up there with the Wukong clone, I see.

I was trying to hold it until around that time, but that's over now that I know the hike will coincide with it. Looks like I'll be gunning to get one for my birthday in June, or sooner.

The days are starting to roll in for the old guard. It truly is becoming a new day for Nintendo. Thank you for all your service, Tezuka-san.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3, currently liberating Colony Mu. If, and that's a big IF, I can carve out time from Mothers Day weekend, I'm going to dabble in Star Fox 64.

It's just good to have new, successful, IPs anyway in gaming, so good on them.

Rare in this climate, and Nintendo had enough clout that they weren't going to suffer. Just goes to show you can have integrity AND still make money-- Everyone eats.

Sega does, what Nintendid.

Is this from the artist that did Adventure Time?

It'll be Xenoblade Chronicles 3, and I've just gotten a boat in the Cadensia region. Can't say I was expecting this, but hey, you never know what to expect with this series.

I'll also carve out some time for Bubsy 4D demo and the Marvel Cosmic Invasion demo. I honestly don't know why I'm even interested in Bubsy 4D-- I've only sample bits of the games. Maybe it's because I like the character more than his games? Even I don't know. Marvel Cosmic Invasion will be a guaranteed purchase, it's only a matter of a good sale hitting-- I just want to sample it for now, at least.

It's funny... I've always wondered what he was famous for. He just seemed to pop up (to me) in the last several years. I would say now, yes, he has played a very important part to Nintendo. On that note, Happy Birthday Koizumi-san.

Evangelion... I have not spoke or thought about that in ages. I think I just gave myself something on the side to do...

I've seen at least one mention of it already, but I just want Skies of Arcadia. Feel free to drop Skies of Arcadia Legends on the GC Classics, Sega... That would be fine by me.

Making my way through Keves Castle in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I'll probably work my way around to playing the Marvel Cosmic Invasion demo I didn't play last week. I also might try to squeeze in some more Pokemon Champions if I get time.

Now this is something I look forward to playing on the Switch 2.

Some of the comments are in-line with how I feel about Pokemon. I haven't really sank my teeth into it just yet, but I'll play a little more when I get a chance. If I honestly can find a way to enjoy the battling without the adventure aspect, then this game may finally be the Pokemon game for me. We'll see.

I like the gimmick, I'm just wondering how much classic Yoshi Island style play there is as a total package. In fairness, it's not called "Yoshi's Island", so I'll just have to wait for a review to know for sure.

Yeeeah... I'm just not sure it's for me. I like Yoshi, I know he's meant for the younger crowd (apparently), though I did like Wolly World. I'm intrigued, but I'll need a review.

I can't wait for the review.

Most stuff that critics dislike I'm usually entertained by, so I would tell Miyamoto-san not to think about it too much. It was never going to win "greatest movie of all time", so just be glad it prints money for movie goers and "somebody" was entertained.

So be it, Kamiya-san. My thought was the poetic "death of the hero, yet a new chapter begins with a new hero" was intentional. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. He doesn't seem like he'll be helming the next Bayo (if there is one), so a part 4 story would literally be up to whoever is penning it.

Whelp, I guess I can add this to my "What are you playing?" list for the weekend. Off to download the demo. It's a sure bet I'll pick it up one day, but this is a nice aside in the meantime.

OPUS has really come a long way.

Like some have said more or less already, what would make this any different from other movies of its ilk? Sounds like a "cause we can, we're doing it" type of affair. Good luck to them, I hope it will be entertaining.

Guess Jim Carrey is holding off on retirement for now...?

I went back to libertate Colony Iota in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, now I'm back on track to proceed through Maktha Woods.

My retro throwback this week is Quester. I am such a sucker for brick breakers.

I'll be dabbling in the Inti-Creates demo Kingdom's Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster. It had me at "Action RPG", so I'll see if I dig it.

Lastly I'll finally give Pokemon Champions to see if I want to spend any time with it down the road.

I can't wait to know who they pegged for Ganondorf.

Neither are great-- I mean, how do you illustrate a "Mendel Palace" if the receiving viewer has no idea about it lol? With that comment out of the way, I'd say while accuracy is no fun, I'd prefer it to something I won't even slightly see.

My main for the weekend is Xenoblade Chronicles 3, navigating the Maktha Wildwood. But I've had a retro itch lately, so this is what I'll dabble in this weekend:

Polaris - This AA just dropped and I screamed when I saw it. I haven't played this since I was a child. I totally forgot about it and its name.

NES Pac-Man - Nothing I haven't played, or have better versions of, but I enjoy a few moments of the NES version sometimes.

NES Tower if Druaga - I've always dabbled, but never got far. A game I appreciate but will probably never beat.

Mendel Palace - I had always heard and seen this game but never tried it. It won't light the world on fire, but I'm actually enjoying it. Not bad.

I think I'd be happy if BS Zelda showed up.

Maybe one day StarTropics II... one day...

I bit. Gimme da pins. I've been here for all the 40 years of SMB... Don't know if I'll be around for the 50th, but I'll try. But in case I don't, I have something to commemorate this day at least for now.

@Erigen Great minds think alike 😆

Just liberated Colony Lambda in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I'm really enjoying this cast of characters. I'm thinking of picking up Quester as I have a thing for brick breakers.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Smashed my first Agnus flame clock on a side quest, but I'm getting back to the main quest where we liberated Colony 30.

Of anything I would like to see a remake of, it's RE0. That game is stuck in its time, and it hasn't aged too well imo.

So... NCU confirmed?

I saw the price for PS5 Pro and literally went OH ****!! Damn... I might have to push my NS2 purchase timetable up...

I love Mega Man and I dabbled in this series, but it just wasn't my cup of tea overall. Maybe we'll still get that Mega Man Legends collection...

Guess a new 3D Mario and Zelda can't come soon enough.

Keep the Goemon love coming. Now I just need that Goemon Collection here in the west.

I don't know what the hell is going on but I love what I see.

1 and 2 would be great, but I guess it's not happening at this point.

Yes! YES!! Finally! This is one of the OSTs I was waiting for. Hope pays off sometimes. Brinstar and Maridia, come to me!

OoT... we met when I was 19. I was off and away into my college years, and the N64 was my "norm". I remember when my mom witnessed the first 3D Zelda. She said, "I like Link's boots," as she always loved a dashing pair of boots. I never forgot that it inspired her to do artwork for a fantasy adventurer character not unlike Link himself, and I cherish that portrait still. Good times and Zelda always seemed to go hand in hand, and my mom too was there through many of them. Happy Mothers Day to those celebrating... I'll do the same in May.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for me. We're in the desert, cooking and crafting gems.

I have no issue with him. It's actually funny how everyone is so annoyed by him.

They're really trying with the Switch 2 3rd party controllers. I'm even more impressed with this controller, and all I ask for is gyro. For the price point, I'll keep it in mind as a "player 2" controller.

JP's image is so unnatural to me, but I do appreciate seeing Kratos. NA all day though.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for me. En route to the Sword.
