Another month down, another month saturated with Smash Bros. Two flavours of Smash Bros this time, even! And also some other things. Mostly Zelda. Why do I even own any non-Nintendo machines?<\/p>\n
Super Smash Bros for Wii U<\/strong> (WiiU) – Thank you, Nintendo.<\/p>\n Pok\u00e9mon Alpha Sapphire<\/strong> (3DS) – Having completed the Generation VII Pok\u00e9dex in Pok\u00e9mon Y, I decided to eschew my normal Pok\u00e9mon tendencies and do a nuzlocke<\/a> run. It was going really well until my Voltorb died and now I don’t know if I have the will to go on. Poor Vince, he was so young…<\/p>\n Hyrule Warriors<\/strong> (WiiU) – I’d be done this if it weren’t for the massive DLC packs that keep coming out. They add weeks and weeks to the game’s already-pretty-long lifespan. And I haven’t even finished the original Adventure Mode yet!<\/p>\n Wii Fit U<\/strong> (WiiU) – I really shouldn’t bother writing this in, but I’ve been using it a lot lately! Enough that I’ve even gotten passably good at that waiter game that I used to hate with a firey passion. Still, every time I turn it on, I get a sad from remembering that I lost my Fit Meter long ago.<\/p>\n Always Sometimes Monsters<\/strong> (PC) – I don’t even know where to start with this one. It’s a 2D RPG in a modern setting, where you’ve got to wrangle up a bunch of money to pay your rent. There’s more than that, but I feel like going into it would ruin it. It’s a bit slow, but\u00a0it seems like a good way to spend a few\u00a0Saturday mornings.<\/p>\n Alien: Isolation<\/strong> (360) – It’s too scary to type anything about it!<\/p>\n Super Mario Advance<\/strong> (GBA) – This was the only GBA game I owned for quite a while, so I played the ever-loving crap out of it. That also gave me great deal of nostalgia for it. I’d love for it to be HD-ified, because it’s my favourite version of Mario 2, but\u00a0the colours\u00a0look so faded\u00a0and it doesn’t fit quite right in GBA resolution.<\/p>\n Super Smash Bros for 3DS<\/strong> (3DS) – I’m not ceasing to play it, but I’ve cleared all the challenges, so I’m calling it beaten.<\/p>\n The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess<\/strong> (Wii) – Probably should have lumped this one and Majora under “Re-runs” because I burned through them both fairly quickly, but I think the “Game Over” category has a little more clout. Or something.\u00a0I really like Twilight Princess. This is the fifth time I’ve beaten it. To 100% (less the Poes because F the Poes).<\/p>\n The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask<\/strong> (N64) – I always start writing this feature\u00a0near the beginning of the month, and initially I’d written a blurb about how\u00a0I’d like a 3DS remake of this game to happen. Guess what was announced literally that afternoon<\/em>. Still played the N64 version because I had just dropped $10 on the Virtual Console version. You’re welcome.<\/p>\n Picross e5<\/strong> (3DS) – Yup it’s another Picross game. And I played it.<\/p>\n Spirits<\/strong> (PC)\u00a0– Kind of like Lemmings, but less cartoony and more artsy. Also your spirits can’t do nearly as many things as lemmings, and any<\/em> action effectively\u00a0kills them. I played through all the levels, but I just don’t care about\u00a0it enough to bother with perfect clears. I wish that would stop being a thing.<\/p>\n Mighty Gunvolt<\/strong> (3DS) – A cute little 8-bit freebie they gave away with Azure Striker Gunvolt (which I still haven’t played). Four stages and a final boss of very base-level Mega Man-style action. Not totally fulfilling, but a good way to\u00a0kill twenty minutes.<\/p>\n The Love Letter<\/strong> (PC) – An adorable browser game that I wrote about a week ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mega Man X2<\/strong>\u00a0(SNES) – I usually play through Mega Man X once or twice a year, but I only go through X2 every few years\u00a0and almost never touch X3. It’s really too bad, because X2 is pretty good. I just don’t know the optimal way through the game, so it seems like I end up\u00a0revisiting stages\u00a0to collect power-ups more than I should have to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another month down, another month saturated with Smash Bros.
