  1. Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow - Not one of my favorite 'vanias narratively speaking. The whole 'Drac is a high school kid' thing is something I have mixed feelings on. But it really is a blast to play, and the castle design is much less cumbersome than say, Symphony of the Night or Harmony of Dissonance. And Julius Belmont is something of a high point. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles - It feels like I'm finally putting my PSP to some real use. I love that the base game is a solid one to one remake of Rondo with some nice gothic art direction and some cool bonus content in the fight against Annete. I still don't know if I like it better than the original Rondo, but the fact that Rondo and Symphony are included makes deciding kind of a nonissue.
  2. Mainly I've been playing Castlevania Portrait or Ruin. I quite enjoy the two-character combat, and I'm excited to find out what happens to Jonathan Morris and the Vampire Killer. I find all the neat little nods to the Genesis outing fun, like Eric Lecarde being in the game proper. Aside from that, I am very slowly plugging away at Xenoblade Chronicles 3. It is so far my least favorite of the main trilogy, mostly because I'm finding Moebius less compelling as an antagonist than Zanza, Amalthus and Malos. I'm sure I'll have my mind blown in the second half. It doesn't help that I'm only now (at 45 hours in) starting to really understand some of the basic mechanics, like the rules of Chain Attacks. Others, like what skills can be inherited and used by other classes, still mystify me. That said, I'm very much looking forward to one more adventure with Shulk and Rex in Future Redeemed.
  3. Power creep hit Tellius hard this time. It took minimal investment to turn Geoffrey into a stat monster. Fully Supported with Legendary Roy running a Bond seal and himself running Atk/Def Form in his A slot and an Atk/Spd Form seal nets him Atk/Spd+27, Spd +20 and Res+7. This man takes on Fallen Edelgard and wins. Too bad cavs can't learn Bonus Doubler.
  4. Man, that Ridley render really takes me back. Everything old is new again. With Metroid Prime and Fusion in the spotlight again, it almost feels like the glory days of the Game Cube. Really takes me back to the heyday of Oldsider. Cheers, friends. We've been through a lot of life since then.
  5. That new Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells will make me buy Dead Cells, which I wasn't interested in before yesterday. Ah, the insidious power of branding.
  6. I think we all agree that Game Boy and Game Boy Advance are a long overdue addition to Nintendo Switch Online. This was the main highlight of the show for me, especially given that Kirby Tilt n' Tumble is in the offering. I haven't played it since my original GBC became unusable, and I remember it as one of my favorite Kirby spin off games. I remember thinking what a wasted opportunity it was not to bring it to 3DS Virtual Console. Also it's exciting to see Blazing Blade in the GBA lineup, and it rekindles my hope that we might see them try to localize Binding Blade in this way. Words cannot describe how happy I am to see that Etrian Odyssey has not been forgotten, and that they made the mapping work, however hamstrung it seems to be by the lack of a touch screen. I mean I still have a pretty poor idea of how that's supposed to work. Still, it strikes me that Atlus wouldn't go to the trouble of rebuilding three DS games from the ground up and making them work for Switch if they didn't also have Etrian Odyssey VI in the works. I was getting worried. Anyway, the additions of new character portraits is exciting, though I'm not sure I'll be quite enough to make me go in for the collection. I'm an Etrian Odyssey die hard and I'm of the opinion that original hardware is the best way to experience these games. Octopath Traveler 2 looks incredible. I'll be spending some time with that demo this weekend, I'm sure. It'll be worth it for the music alone. I'm rather taken by some of the quality of life changes they've made since the first outing, such as enemies having actual animations. I had hoped to see a remaster of some classic RPGs, and I'm not disappointed to see Baiten Kaitos 1 + 2. I've always wanted to play those, and since they're basically collector's items now, this really opens them up to those of us who missed out the first time through. Metroid Prime HD was cool to see, though I'm content owning the Trilogy on Wii. I dunno, I might get it just so I don't have to uncrust my Wii, but I'm a little disappointed this isn't the Trilogy package. Man, I'm realizing that most of what excites me in the gaming world these days are old games. I mean, a lot of what was shown today would be up my alley maybe six or seven years ago. But I'm getting older, and games are something I just have less time for, and I've already made my peace with it. But the old games still excite me.
  7. YOOOO THE RETURN OF ETRIAN ODYSSEY
  8. I suppose another reasonable mid-level hope I have is a Switch port of Wind Waker HD, given its insane asking price on Wii U now.
  9. My wishlist, full of the subjective random garbage I usually wish for, and will never get announced: Kid Icarus 4/Kid Icarus Uprising port New Warioland Golden Sun 4 Details on the Xenoblade 3 Expansion Pass campaign More PS1 JRPG classics getting the Chrono Cross treatment SOMETHING of Metroid Prime 4 But here's the real question: How many wacky new Kirby games are gonna be announced today?
  10. Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - I enjoyed Specter of Torment more than Shovel of Hope. The darker tone to the story, the remixes of every stage, the wall jumping and air dashing, the unique relics and that perfect ending that punctuates the entire campaign. Easily my favorite Shovel Knight campaign so far. Granted, I still have to try King of Cards.
  11. I suppose, but it makes sense in the context of FEH why Fomortiis would have a separate ability set and distinct identity from when he was inhabiting Lyon's body. After all, this is him after his full power has been unleashed by the destruction of the Sacred Stones and the death of his mortal coil. Also the fact that he's able to shut down entire teams just because one unit attacked him is absolutely bonkers. How do you approach this monstrosity?
  12. Well, now we have a Lyon for every color, making Lyon Emblem a thing proper. I'm pretty happy about that.
  13. Metroid Dread Castlevania Castlevania III - Alucard run Kid Icarus Uprising Phoneix Wright Ace Attorney Kirby's Blowout Blast Castlevania Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  14. Rearmed Ophelia didn't need to happen, especially since her kit does pretty much the same thing standard Ophelia does plus some true damage, but I'm always happy to see my favorite Fates character get some love. And Arcane Eclipse will help my Lyon stay relevant, so I'm happy. At least, I will if FEH ever pity breaks me. Gotta wait on those free orbs next week. Hey, general question: How does one predict when a given unit might receive a weapon refine? Perceval and Fallen Lyon are waiting so patiently.
  15. Woah. Guess it's been a while. Hi, guys. This year has been a wild one so I've had a lot less time for games, but something about the pick up and play nature of the 3DS has made it my go-to system.
