Oh wait I think I confused Bloodstained with another Castlevania knockoff homage, which is the one where you had three characters?

That was the 8-bit Kickstarter backer reward for Bloodstained.

Baba is the most unique puzzlers I've played in years. It gives you that tickle your brain feeling that Portal the first time did. There's no story though as far as I see.

The story is that Baba is you!

The first time the Zelda games used 3D graphics was also a major shakeup in the gameplay and presentation that carried on in its own way.

That's not fair! Their main attempt to garner publicity was naming the game after a famous song in the hope that it would end up in people's Youtube or google searches

Also maybe sneak a couple of Ogre Battle fans?

The rubber duck boss should be hard until halfway through when you're describing how difficult it is to somebody else, at which point it becomes trivially easy.

Into the Breach didn't really click with me. I can recognize that it's a well-made game, it's just a well-made game that I don't really want to play. I think if I had more time I'd get into it, but as it is the first couple runs didn't blow my socks off, so I'd generally rather play something else

Same and same with FTL, by the same studio, as it turns out. I guess I'm in the camp of "permadeath punishes experimentation and I don't have fun with that."

That's fair, since at least one sound effect in SMB2 was taken directly from Zelda 1.

My left stick starting to feel a little weird and in calibration it sometimes taking a little while to travel back to centre is the start of the dreaded stick drift and I should probably order a replacement thumbstick kit now right?

At least I have a nearly new additional pair of joycon to tide me over if need be

Yes, that's drift.

Does Nintendo send you a box to ship joycons in? The left one on my brand new red box Switch just started drifting badly and the cotton swab cleanings aren’t helping.

No. I sent mine back in the box my second pair came in, stuffed with newspaper.

To be fair sneaking around in BotW to get good pictures of bugs and stuff was really fun and I would love a game that went all in on the open world fantasy wildlife photography. If you build up an ecosystem with different environments and the animals having their own behaviors and everything, I think that could be a really cool and unique game. But it would also be a very different game than pokemon snap is (and a significantly more ambitious/expensive to develop one) so I wouldn't really call it a missed opportunity they didn't do it.

This but also there's a full-scale, JRPG-style, save-the-world battle going on in the background that you give zero shits about.

Got my first actual Mario-related picture in Mario’s Super Picross on Wario level 7-H. it’s a lakitu

The best part of Picross DS was the Nintendo-related victory lap at the end and I'm always sad when other Picross games don't have it.

Also, S5 gives you bonus puzzles for having played the first three, but not for S4 :argh:

Nothing that Sony ever did was as bad as XBox just flipping X/Y and A/B from the SNES layout. At least the symbols for Playstation are totally distinct with the narrow exception of "X"

XBox was copying the Dreamcast on that one, which was sort of continuing the Saturn layout
