Re: Review: Pikmin 1 - A Bare-Bones Port, But A Joyous Adventure

kevin74

I have Pikmin 3 & Pikmin 1 on Wii U, but just couldn't get into either one. I played through several game days on Pikmin 3, but not too much on the first one. I didn't like using the wiimote & then having to look at the GamePad for the map. It just felt like too much of a chore to me.

Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge

Arkham City on Wii U was the first time I ever played an Arkham game, & it's one of my favorite games ever. Then downloaded Arkham Origins &, despite it's many bugs, is also a really, really fun game (I like it just as much as Arkham City). And while not as good, I also really enjoyed Arkham Origins: Blackgate HD on Wii U, as well. So I'm ecstatic about the trilogy coming to Switch, as I've never owned any form of Xbox, & the last Playstation I've owned was a PS2. I'm super excited to be able to play Arkham Asylum & Arkham Knight now. I just wish Arkham Origins (& Origins: Blackgate) would come to Switch.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Europe/Japan for me (first time I've ever seen it). I rate this game 4/10. It was quite average & it got very boring after a little while. I forced myself to trudge through it to the end, though. I felt the same about Wind Waker HD on Wii U (only version I've ever played), although WW was a little more fun than PH. I'm willing to give WW another playthrough, though, to see if maybe my view of it will change. I just don't know if I'll ever get around to playing it again. The next Zelda I plan on playing is TOTK, but that may be quite a ways from now since I'm broke.

Re: Soapbox: Obstinate And Addictive - Playing Final Fantasy For The First Time In 2023

I remember reading & re-reading everything I could about Final Fantasy in Nintendo Power, & I was extremely excited to get the game. It still is one of my favorite NES games. I'm not sure how many times I've replayed & beaten it, but it was a whole lot of times. The last time I played it was on Wii VC, & it seemed so short in length compared to when I played it on NES. I love the original Final Fantasy.

Oxenfree 2, Teslagrad Remastered, Teslagrad 2, Shadows Over Loathing, & Animal Well are all going on the wish list. I loved Teslagrad on Wii U (have it on Switch but haven't played it yet). And I've played through Oxenfree multiple times (such a great game). Although I haven't finished West of Loathing, I've put several hours into it, & it is hilarious. Animal Well has a nice art style & looks fun, so it has piqued my interest.

Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch (Again)

kevin74

I first played this game on Switch (& I love it), have put over 1000 hours into it, & still haven't beaten it. I probably started over 3 or 4 times just because I wanted to do things differently, but eventually I moved on to other games. I tried to get into it again a few months ago, but I ended up tackling some of my backlog, instead.

Re: Raji: An Ancient Epic's 'Enhanced Edition' Update Out Next Week On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes

kevin74

I got pretty far in this game, then kept losing at one of the boss battles (or mini boss? Don't really remember if there are mini bosses). I recall the combat started to get a little too repetitive. Or was it too frequent? Not sure. It's been quite some time since I played it last. At any rate, I think I started to get a little bored of it, but this may be the incentive I need to continue once I finish The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics.

Re: Community: What Was Your First Ever Nintendo Game?

kevin74

My twin brother & I got an NES for Christmas 1987 when I was 12.
Along with SMB/Duck Hunt, we also got Wizards & Warriors. Took us all day to realize how to progress past the first level (i.e. go up, instead of left/right). Seems like we got one other game that day, too, but I can't remember.
