Finally finished Metroid Prime 3 after sitting on it for 10 years. It was... a thing. I'm going back and checking out the first two games with the motion controls as well. Surprisingly the controls are working for me just as well as in Prime 3. I like it.

Welp, certain complaints with the animation notwithstanding, Hathaway's Flash was a good slow burn. Much better than Narrative turned out to be. Looking forward to the next movie.

Got my new desktop. It's gonna be a hard wait for me the next few months...

The Squenix marketing team unintentionally did their jobs because the only two things that keep popping into my head after this E3 are Metroid Dread and killing chaos. Honestly it's so bad that it's good in a Megaman X4 way. They should just lean into it.

Welp bois we finally have a sequel to Metroid Fusion 11/10 best E3 of all-times pack your bags and go home.

I recently found out that Kena was made by the same dudes behind that beautiful Majora's Mask fan cinematic on YouTube. Explains a lot; the more I hear and see of this game I continue to be impressed.

The new Ratchet and Clank game looks fun. Too bad I have no means of playing it. Seeing how technically impressive it looks, it really makes me wish I could see what a new Jak and Daxter game could look like from Naughty Dog...

Finally wrapped up Castlevania season 4. Honestly, I was disappointed. A lot of arcs felt rushed and concluded haphazardly. It's clear they really intended this material to be at least 2 more seasons longer than it actually was.

So it turns out that basically everything that isn't exclusively a native Series X/S title has some form of online DRM/dependency attached to it, including cross-gen Smart Delivery titles. So much for all that talk about game preservation. Of course MS.

https://gamerant.com/metroid-new-2d-game-exists-leaker-claims/amp/ This actually seems very plausible given that they may be holding off on the reveal to coincide with the release of Prime 4 as was done with Fusion in the past.

So there were some changes to the upcoming Mass Effect LE that I wasn't too keen about, and decided to see how the fans handled remastering as a chance to compare. So far pretty impressed with the modding scene for this game.

All the cool kids were doing it so I got roped in again. There were some spicier takes I could have gone for but I decided to tone it down this time...

Coming up with the categories is more fun than actually ranking the games themselves. Anyways I regret nothing! kekekek

Late to the party but there it is.

For all the dunking on Sword/Shield's visuals I saw way back when, frankly everything that was showcased in the recent presentation looked far worse, the only exception being Snap. As the highest grossing media franchise in the world, it's inexcusable.

Bowser's Fury got me thinking it would be cool to see a Mario game in the vein of Kirby Superstar where you have a collection of bite-sized campaigns and mini-games that all experiment with different ideas with radically different themes.

First Mario 64 taught us about parallel universes and now it is teaching us about space particles. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/02/a-super-mario-64-speedrun-glitch-was-probably-caused-by-a-space-particle/amp/

May you all enjoy this day to your heart's content.

So I started RE4 recently as my first Resident Evil game, and it is also my first introduction to the survival horror genre in general. Not a bad start so far. Also I'm long overdue for another Monster Girl Monday so here you go.

Easy Modding Guide for FF7 Classic (2021)

3D World was a blast and I'm so ready to jump back into it with Bowser's Fury. Hopefully it's a worthwhile expansion.

Just finished Mario Sunshine for the first time. Honestly I can't decide whether it's a bad game or mediocre at best. It feels unfinished with the amount of jank I experienced. Some stages over 50% of the shines were just not fun to collect.

This is turning out to be everything I wanted in a new X game and then some.

And now 2020 Blursedmas has reached its final form.
