You're initially capable of some basic sword combos, but everything is initiated with one button instead of separate buttons for quick and heavy attacks. There's plenty more to the tale, but that blurb is enough to get players interested in where the title is going.īeyond the story, the core gameplay is a hack-and-slash platformer. He is also pulled in and awakens as the fabled Hero, tasked by Motherboard with recovering the memories of the Creator while obtaining the Techno-Sword to put a stop to Him and his Stallions. At the same time, an ardent fan of the game goes to bed, but his machine turns on by itself. One night, the creator is kidnapped by a digital being known as Him and sucked into his own machine. Things start with the creator of the new machine Narita One and his hit game Narita Boy, both of which become huge success stories. Part of that fascination comes from the story, which gains inspiration from the likes of Tron and The Last Starfighter but shares copious amounts of lore in a relatively short time span. Narita Boy is another game that leans heavily into the '80s but does so in a way that even those who are tired of the time period will still find it fascinating. This weekend I’m thinking of playing some Wii games with my little brother.If you took a cue from popular media, the 1980s are still a major source of nostalgia, whether it's a remake of '80s television shows or movies. Happy game! Félix Sánchez, video producer Maybe it’s the right time? Maybe I just want to be on the beach on an island covered in goop and paint? Maybe the camera controls won’t bother me so much this time? Oh well, we’ll see. Don’t ask me why I decided to pick it up again as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars package. I’m totally inside.Īlso on the record is, strangely enough, Super Mario Sunshine. This game has strong Danganronpa vibes, but with even more visual elements of the novel and some shump segments? Sounds wild. I’m going out with my partner this weekend, but that doesn’t mean video games are completely out of the equation! I’ll take a look at the Yurukill: The Calumniation Games demo.

I will probably play a lot for a review, Return of the Work Dinn for Backlog Club and Hollow Knight in anticipation of next month’s Backlog Club election. I’m sure you’re all thinking “Oh yeah, the obvious choice,” but you wouldn’t mind the amount of time I spent with this franchise until the original GameCube release during college. The game of the week is Mario Strikers Battle League Football. A great week for my Switch with physical copies of Redout Space Assault, Gear Shifters, Narita Boy, Axiom Virgo 2 and Demon Slayer all elbowing each other to get my attention this four (!) Day weekend. Madness is here and all we can do is wait for our wallets to do it. Subscribe to Nintendo Life on YouTube Goncalo Lopes, reviewerĬan you hear it The excitement of the E3 not E3 season? Sometimes from our side as journalists the fear of missing some important news. I’m in the middle of Stranger Things 4 right now, so no doubt my wife and I will take some time to finish it at some point. Other than that, there’s not much else I’m playing right now.
