I’ve thought about changing this weekly “Sunday” article to a Monday one but then that’d mean I’d probably get it out on Tuesday. So “Sunday” it remains.
Anyway, lots more Yugioh. It’s really nice to be back in the “scene” of a game that isn’t video. I’ve never been down with competitive video games that much for whatever reason. Maybe because the most you can get is the online variation which, without that face to face interaction something is just missing.
Other than that it’s been studying Japanese. But, Alex and I got into Ninja Crusaders which is a bizarre little Ninja Gaiden like game that has two player simultaneous ninjaing. And apparently turning into scorpions which I fucking missed out on in the play. What the hell was that. Going to have to visit that game again. We did manage to beat it though even if the final stage took us almost two hours of trying. Anyway, despite being all “this feels like it is trying to be something else instead of its own thing”, and who really wants to check release dates to validate opinions, it was a solid play that I’d rather not consider trying without the perks of not having to restart the stage every death due to the multiplayer. I think it is a solid Famicom game, that I will say.
This week sees yet another DS game I want to get, whose name I shall not mention as I”m trying to ignore that it is coming out so that I can finish some of these other freaking games I’ve been playing. So much to play, so little time.
Ninja Crusaders rocks. You can change into different animals depending on the weapon you’re holding. Just hold “B” for a couple seconds and then release it when you start to flash.
