not to be dramatic or anything but i'm literally going to die if prime 4 doesn't have a motion control option. for some reason finishing this game made my brain become absolutely fixated on metroid and now i own the two gba games as well so take that as a recommendation i guess

super fun! you can tell it was developed early in the 3ds' life-cycle because MAN does it use every single control gimmick the system has. only time i had a problem with that was gyro because i found it really hard to focus on the action while i was tilting this way and that. but otherwise i very much enjoyed it

i'm a deeply impatient person so the fact that it's SO easy to get lost in this game AND you get sent back to the start screen if you die doesn't exactly endear me to it, although i did have fun

would be better without the homophobic stereotype in the third case tbh!!

real talk the moment i decided firmly i wasn't going to bother with the remake is when i found out they cut the photo album side quest. sure it doesn't net you anything, but it's fun!

this is a great game which i happen to have a particular attachment to because it was the first ace attorney game i played, but my GOD does the third case REALLY need to go over that SAME unskippable concert clip EVERY time it gets brought up?

genuinely bizarre experience to finish this in two days when i remember AGONIZING over the puzzles as a kid to the point that i never finished the thing. anyway it was good i liked it

not necessarily one of my all time fave zeldas but i do think it has a pretty near perfect utilisation of the side quest mechanic. yes the world is ending in three days and only you can save it but dammit you WILL help this little girl fight off aliens that are trying to steal her cows. not only that but The Power Of Helping People In Need (Who Give You Masks) significantly reduces the difficulty level of the final boss. take that, loser!

started it feeling maybe i shouldn't be playing more fire emblem after the 160 hours i logged in fates revelation + 25 in fire emblem gba because i was feeling pretty burnt out from the gameplay loop. then the leon plot happened and now i think this is my favourite of the older fe games i've played. (eirika route)

i had fun and i got it cheap. so i consider that a win. also there's a stage where you can play peppy and he shouts barrel roll every time you do a barrel roll
