what the fuck

it’s really nice when a game is incredibly simple and knows exactly what it wants to be

number 1 most important thing about this game: why is Picky Minch the first character shown in the credits when he isn’t relevant to the story after the first 10 minutes? these are the REAL questions

played with friends tonight. i don’t imagine it would’ve been fun by myself

going into this game, i thought "nah it can't be that bad, right?" and at first, i thought i was right. the game is visually nice, the soundtrack is good, and it's polished. i was so young, so naive

sticker star is one of the worst games i've ever played and for so many more reasons than what i had expected them to be. people talk about how derivative and boring this game is, but they dont really talk about how the game is designed. some truly baffling design decisions went into this game. the two cacti mission, the wiggler segments goose chase that goes on for WAY too long, the final boss (dear god), and tons more. the enigmasion is a highlight in this sea of utter filth and contempt, it actually felt like a video game for once in its pitiful, meaningless existence. unfortunately, it doesn't take long for the swill to return, and we are back into contempt land. i used a guide for probably half of this game and it's absolutely necessary. the amount of ass-pullery this game does is insane. frustrating is the only word that could really and truly describe what we have here

i love mario, and i can defend a lot of mario stuff. i can defend the 1993 live action movie AND the animated movie from 2023. i can defend hotel mario. this? this is shit.

it was an honor to serve alongside all of you 🫡

we truly are at the end of an era. as you probably know, the wii u and 3ds online service has officially ended. i’m proud of the time i’ve spent with this console, even if it wasn’t a fan favorite. i remember getting a free one from nintendo for my make-a-wish trip, packed in a zelda themed backpack. i remember my first experience playing pikmin 3 without the tv, and how cool i thought that was. i remember my first experience playing splatoon, and 3d world, and mario kart 8, and smash 4, and mario maker, and wind waker, and so many more. obviously these games aren’t unplayable now, but the online features will be missed

as for splatoon 1 itself, tons of fun. i used to be a certified splatoon hater, but this has completely changed my opinion on the game. i have to give the sequels a second chance. especially the dlc

anyways, time to homebrew my wii u

yeah, im playing some old games in memory of the wii u online being shut down. this is one i’m logging early cause it’s literally just mario kart 8 deluxe but worse LOL

absolutely beautiful game that maybe, idk, is a little too easy some time

all of the characters and none of the charm

i owned this game as a kid and i decided it was high time i, you know, actually beat it? so i went back and finished it. and yeah, it sucks. it’s awful, actually. the performance is some of the worst i’ve seen on a ds game period. the writing is word-for-word from the show, but with none of the jokes. the platforming is incredibly basic, and it’s super easy. it’s a game for kids for the ds, did you expect a masterpiece?

i’m not gonna get into this game too much. it was probably some developers first game, and their first experience in the real game dev environment. i’m sure someone who worked on it is very proud of their contributions. i’m glad this game kept me occupied as a kid, even if i never got past the first level

ITS LITERALLY THE SAME GAME AS YELLOW

bruh there was online lag when i played with cpus 💀

i can finally say that i have, OFFICIALLY, LEGALLY, beaten Mother 3 the way Nintendo fully intended it to be played. sure, i can’t speak or read Japanese and sure i used an English guide every now and then when i was completely lost. but goddamn it, i did it. i have ACTUALLY beaten Mother 3. and it feels really really good

BARGAIN BIN GAMING IS SO BACK

fr tho, i’m giving this a high rating but maybe not for the reasons you think. it’s ugly, it’s animations are not good, and it’s incredibly cheap. goddamn it i love it tho. i miss the era when big AAA studios would put out mediocre slop to fill the space. now every game released is “the biggest game ever made” or whatever, and they have multi-million dollar budgets. i want studios to make games that have a budget of $10 and whatever they find between the couch cushions
