I think the only one I've ever played is "Fantasy Life", which was basically my way of passing time between the release of "Super Smash Bros. for 3DS" and "Pokémon Alpha Sapphire". It's basically like Skyrim, except you can't freely murder people.
I already have a picture drawn based on the event, but I won't be posting it until AFTER the winner's announced, so I won't get harassed on "joining the wrong team".
-Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories
-Game & Watch Gallery 2
-Pokémon Pinball
-Pokémon Trading Card Game
-Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
-Pokémon Gold
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
-The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
FYI, I've never been able to beat "Super Mario Sunshine" (without Action Replay) or "Super Mario Galaxy 2". I have to question WHY I need to do that one mission involving jumping on enemies in a row to satisfy a monkey. Like dude, this evil turtle's going to destroy the universe or whatever, why not just give me the star and let me move on?
Speaking of obscure Majora’s Mask advertising, does anyone remember the non-dramatic one where a family is at a breakfast table, and the dad’s reading the newspaper with “MOON NEARS EARTH” as the headline, and the mom tells her son “Don’t you have a game to play?” and then it cuts to the son playing the game in his room? I swear I remember this commercial vividly, but I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe it was for a local game store.
Someone should explain to me why they would create an entirely new number, with the 0.0 at the end...but not introduce any cool new features, like, I dunno, the ability to add themes to the Switch menu like on 3DS? Just stability stuff that I most likely won't ever run into for my entire Switch's lifetime even without?
@GalaxicGlobe I did play fast, and it stopped as it loaded the third level (which was the first of the "open map levels" where you can walk around anywhere without a set path)
That being said, since today's Friday, I'm gonna go get fast food for lunch, and I'll swing by my nearest Target (accessible by foot by a mile) and see if the demo's there.
There's actually a reason demos aren't distributed much online, and TV Tropes says why: if a demo includes Dummied Out data from the final game, data miners can uncover spoilers for the final game and release them in the Internet. While removing said data is an option, it can greatly increase the work needed to create a demo since it requires the demo to go through additional testing to ensure the removal of supposedly non-required assets doesn't have unintended consequences.
I'm currently downloading the definitive edition of Marvel's Avengers for PS4 after they gave a massive discount on the game (as it's going to be delisted from digital stores starting in October) so instead of paying $59.99 I only paid $3.99 for the game and all the DLC.
So their business deal, which is going to cause a LOT of harm than good for developers, earns them angry letters from people supporting the developers...isn't changing?

If my mom were in charge of the list, she'd rank Zubat from 13 to 1. She's terrified of bats.
Re: Review: Dave The Diver - One Of The Best Games In A Year Of Greats
What's the difficulty? I'm being very wary of many indie games since they tend to frustrate me (like Cuphead).

Re: Nintendo's Updated Guidelines For Tournaments & Content Creation Sparks Community Backlash
This doesn't really affect me since I never go to tournaments, much less do any Smash online.

What? I'm a simple guy, I'm very easy to please.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
Not until next month for my birthday, I'm afraid. Something came up in the budget and I...had to cancel my Amazon preorder.
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Timeline Placement Of Sonic Superstars
@Quiet2down Strangely, the only game series I invest into the lore instead of playing it is "Five Nights at Freddy's" (because I'm too scared)
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Timeline Placement Of Sonic Superstars
...am I the only one who doesn't play games for the timeline and lore, I just wanna smash up enemies!

Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Demo Available At Nintendo Switch Kiosks Across the US
@GalaxicGlobe I did play fast, and it stopped as it loaded the third level (which was the first of the "open map levels" where you can walk around anywhere without a set path)
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Demo Available At Nintendo Switch Kiosks Across the US
@GalaxicGlobe Actually I did manage to play it, only finished the first two levels before the game closed itself (it's timed).
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder Demo Available At Nintendo Switch Kiosks Across the US
Good news: my Target does have the demo.
Bad news: someone’s already playing it.

Re: Pokémon Collaboration With Van Gogh Museum Announced, New Merch Incoming
Meh. I probably would’ve been disappointed anyway.
Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Zelda: Wind Waker HD's Bloom Lighting Or The "Flat" OG?
