New Super Luigi U (Wii U): COMPLETED!

  / / Leave a comment

Well, that was easier than I expected. I thought some of the later levels would be hard as nails, but due to being pretty short, they weren’t. Even Bowser wasn’t too difficult, despite the lack of restart points (meaning if you die on the boss, you have to restart the level completely!), taking only two attempts. Disappointingly, he was the same boss as with Mario, although his attack pattern was slightly different. With him defeated, I set about completing some …

Super Luigi Galaxy (Wii)

  / Leave a comment

Luigi slides all over the place, jumps higher (and seemingly further) than Mario, and says “Yoshi” every time he uses a launch star. He also makes a noise that sounds like it’s taken straight from Pretty Fly for a White Guy when he gets a power star. Oh, and he looks stupid in a bee suit. Aside from all that, it’s the same so far. Well, except for one thing which I’m not sure if I’m imagining or not: the …

New Super Mario Bros (DS)

Leave a comment

Multiplayer only this evening, playing both random minigames and two player Mario vs Luigi mode. Both modes are actually really good fun to play, with Mario vs Luigi mode reminding me of the original Mario Bros (sans Super), and the minigames being a little like Mario Party. I won, of course.

New Super Mario Bros (DS)

Leave a comment

This evening, I played wireless multiplayer with my wife. And it’s great! Most (all?) of the minigames have been stolen from Super Mario 64DS, but now that they’re multiplayer, it seems a billion times better. The Mario vs Luigi Star Battle Hyper Fun Happy Fighter II mode is great as well – being not entirely unlike the original Super-less Mario Bros in a way. Fun all round!

New Super Mario Bros (DS): COMPLETED!

Leave a comment

Yes! Already! I thought it was actually going to end a bit sooner, what with reaching the castle in World 8, but oh no – there’s more. Nothing very hard, however. I did like the find-the-correct-route bit in the “real” final castle. Very Super Mario Bros! So now it is completed, in about two and a half hours play, what next? Well, the other half of the game, of course! Loads of levels (and two entire worlds) left to unlock! …

Round up time! Doritos Crash Course 2 (360) I turned my 360 on for the first time in months this weekend, and my download queue kicked in. The first thing that downloaded was this. It is, considering how it’s both a shameless advert for Doritos and free, really good fun. Much like the first game, really. I was enjoying it, until I ran out of the stars you need to buy the next level. You see, you collect and win …

NES Remix 2 (Wii U): COMPLETED

  / / Leave a comment

I loved the original NES Remix. Even though several of the included games were, er, not of the best quality (Pinball, Clu-Clu Land, Urban Champion, Golf), the package was fun and the challenges were great. Getting Remix 2 was always going to happen. And it happened! And all was good. The selection of titles this time round seems much better. That’s not surprising as Nintendo have picked some later NES titles for this sequel – Metroid, Super Mario Bros 2 …

Another roundup! Woo! Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS) I’ve played this every single day now for more than four months, and you’d think it’d have grown old by now. But no – I’m still finding new things to do. Being October I’m collecting Spooky Furniture, and this week I managed to pass Gracie’s 4th and final test so she’s now opened up a store inside newly renovated T&T’s. Excellent. Luigi’s Mansion 2 (3DS) Still in the Clock Tower, but have …

The First Wii U Post

  / / / / Leave a comment

My Wii U arrived! So I spent most of the weekend playing it and the games I got with it. Nintendo Land It’s not a minigame collection. No matter who tells you it is, it isn’t. It’s a collection, sure, but some of the games are full, proper games. Take the Pikmin Adventure game. It’s Pikmin. Sure, it’s not got all the item collecting and night-time save-all-the-pikmin bits, but it’s a complete and reasonably long “campaign”. Single player only game …

I haven’t been to a proper games show since, ooh, 2001? 2002? Whenever it was I went to ECTS, anyway. Ah, ECTS. Games show for people who like Gran Turismo 3 and steering wheels, and not much else. Good times. What did I think of the games? Well, a quick run through: New Super Mario Bros U (Wii U) Awesome. Going to be excellent playing this with my daughter on the screen. Sure, it’s mostly more of the same as …

3DS Game Need List

  / Leave a comment

It’s been a while since I posted up a list of games I need. Sorry, NEED. Some would say there aren’t many 3DS games out recently or in the next 12 months, which, if true, makes me wonder which bit of me made all these up: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Marvel Pinball Heroes of Ruin Professor Layton & the Mask of Miracle New Super Mario Bros 2 Luigi’s Mansion 2 Harvest Moon Fire Emblem Rayman Origins Epic Mickey Paper Mario Layton …

A post about video games

  / Leave a comment

Hello! It’s been a little while since I last posted anything, mainly because I’ve been busy. Thought I’d just mention a few upcoming games that’s I’m really looking forward to, and some other game related stuff. It’s been a slim few months for releases I’ve been interested in. Partly because there haven’t been that many big games over the summer, and partly because due to the £18 Rule I don’t get much on release any more and by the time …

Irritating and Unnecessary Gaming Clichés

3 Comments

I’ve been gaming for a long time. This is obvious to anyone who has perused the rest of my site (the Gaming Diary and Museum both give clues to this). I’ve played a lot of games. Hundreds. Thousands, in fact. It would be naïve to assume that, having played so many games, gaming ideas are only ever used once, and so each game is an entirely unique experience. This is, of course, not true. Some things come up all the …
