But this isn't a NSO GameCube controller, it's something they did for the Smash fans in the house

Missus has made a preorder with John Lewis, and also gone for the piranha plant camera. Even if we don't use it. Hoping for an early link to get the GameCube controller. From the look of the specs, there isn't a standard USB port, which we have for a wired Jigglypuff GameCube controller

It's the perfect rope-a-dope

All the texture smoothing in the world isn't going to make this good on a large screen. And how dare they shorten the title, now it will just go "Lying Fairy"

Some random Mario enemies seem to have become racers, like the beetle things and the crabs from the Mario Bros. games. I'm hoping they're just placeholders for to-be-revealed characters

It feels like they've taken the formula for 1-2-Switch, stripped the party functionality, added random trivia bullshit and are expecting money

I'm surprised this wasn't free with the console.

Gradius III is one of the most fun games I've played. Price depending, may be a purchase from me.

It's just going a different direction when in crossing the desert, you suddenly enter a part of it where the enemies are waaaay overleveled. Go back to Strahta and try to get to Oul Raye or whichever way it is through the desert. There's a save point just as you enter it so if you get shafted it's recoverable. I'd have a look at what titles I'm missing out on and if there's any way to make them happen. I wouldn't mind trying to fight as a different character, but I've tried with Hubert and Malik and found their styles not to my liking. One game I wouldn't mind doing a NG+ is Xenoblade Chronicles, because it's kept me at my previous high level and now the concept of the lazy battle system is paying off and I can glide through earlier sections.

I have now! Did try the Zhonecage but just couldn't be arsed. I may actually NG+ at some point, but probably not.

I recall one of the Hyde Park meetups!

I think once you get the tradition JRPG airship trying to do requests is much easier. I don't get though why the unknown desert are is so tough, I haven't been back recently but I tried just before taking on Lambda and I still had to retreat. I had to use the light bottle to get to the ruins, which the enemies inside were much doable. I'm sad I used Pascal to do a puzzle, I thought she was just going to give me a small hint, not solve the whole thing. I was at the top of the Lastalia Shaft, going in circles and I had to take a break because my mind wasn't doing any mental mapping. Did it last night and got to Fodra's core and stopped there. I was going to walk forward and just get to the next save point as it was late, but then I remembered it was longer and decided to hold off. I'm kinda happy I will have some enemies to go through, because I solved that eleth area puzzle beforehand to get one the Tales Tribute Weapons for Asbel, but the stats aren't as good as the other Tales inspired weapon he has.

Going to say Mario All Stars coming before end of the month, April at latest.
