My new years resolution is to stop being weird and actually socialize with people. I have a bad tendency to just isolate myself from everyone outside of work for weeks at a time and just rot alone in my house

The best way to repay Sakurai is another year of silence as he plugs away at his cute youtube channel. Wait, he doesn't monetize that shit?
Smash will probably hit the NSO. I know Sakurai himself has always been weird on the prospect of re-releasing games he's worked on, but the reality is that he doesn't own Smash. Nintendo can throw those games onto whatever platform they want without his sign off. Especially the first two. Those have the lowest amount of companies that need to be contacted for copyright renewals.
Sakurais Youtube channel is one of the most wholesome things I have kept up with in recent years, he's so adorable and passionate about the things he talks about on there

I adore smash brothers but I don't really expect Nintendo to very much for the anniversary, Smash 64 on NSO with online support seems like a no brainer though

Hey there, how you doin'? I'm Ernivus, and I'm definetly not here just to gather TMS fans to perform a blood ritual so we may get a sequel, nope, definetly not. When I'm not comitting arsen until Warren and Arlen make it to FEH I like to blast metal on my headphones until I can no longer hear my own thoughts and sometimes I do like reading. I'm an Awakening child but since I played DS Archanea I like to meme on the 3DS era of Awakatechoes blandness. Before the Switch days I rewrote the plot of Fates because I was so mad with it, it was unreal and having played 3H I might do the same for it because damn shorty, four campaigns (+ the DLC one) and only one is half decent? That's rough buddy. Maybe I'll even redo my own Fates redo if I'm in the mood but I've got my own novels to write and stuff to translate. I've got scorching hot takes but I won't risk a ban so soon, so for now just know that Engage is peak and saved my interest in the franchise. God bless Colgate dragon, the ATLUS RPG with a faint scent of FE thrown in and the english fan translation of New Mystery of the Emblem for holding me up as a fan. Right now the only FEtubers I can stand are BigKlingy and the crop of FEHtubers that make life easy as a former whale turned F2P peasant, so ask me about my heavily-invested old units that spit on the meta (pls don't I just like to build my faves and use characters I hate as sacrificial skill fodder). Nobody likes my mental pairings, I'm very comfy since I moved into the vtuber rabbithole and it's very cozy over here but I swear I'm not a weeb I just like big anime chests, I was dangerously close to calling this account WarrenGaming/LuthierSuperiority/ChurchOfPandreo/BoucheronSweep and one day I might have a Nel dakimakura.
So if anyone wants a shady uncle figure or someone to discuss metal, old books, horror movies, 80's testosterone-filled action movies, the alternative japanese rock/metal scene, strange games or lovecraftian eldritch horrors beyond our understanding I'm yer dude, dude. Just please be gentle with the frail old man, my bones are not very strong, but my muscles do want extreme violence. More posts coming from me once I figure out what the hell to post here since I'm nostalgic of very old internet forums.
Nice you meet you! hope your weekend is going well

Update: I downloaded Snes9x, and the ROM worked. Unfortunately, I don't like the feel of this emulator (and it looks a bit too fuzzy for me) but I guess if this is the only way I just have to deal with it. If absolutely anyone is able to get this working on Mesen-S then please let me know, since other translations for FE3 and FE4 have worked perfectly fine for me before this. Regardless, thanks for helping me!
AWESOME!! Good luck and I hope you enjoy the game. I didn't Ironman it when I played it but I realllllly struggled with my lack of information before hand

53. Hogwarts Legacy
(Cleared 9/1)
7/10. Initially really impressed me, with its production value, combat system, and attention to detail, but wears thin over time. Also, before anyone calls me out, I neither bought the game nor had it bought for me. I used a copy dad bought for himself.
+ Impressive attention to detail makes the game an IP fan's dream
+ Flexible, excellent magic system. Fun enough to enjoy at a casual level, but also seriously technical to master.
+ Strong soundtrack
+ Strong visuals
- Low enemy variety
- Low content variety
- Tiny inventory
- Gear passives feel undercooked and shallow
- Aggressively Ubisoftian in its approach to open world.
- JK Rowling bad
54. Kingdom Hearts 3(Cleared 9/2)
7/10
+ Solid gameplay, if a bit shallow.
+ The Pirates of the Caribbean world is seriously impressive. Really streamlines the Black Flag naval combat in the best way.
+ KH has always had a great soundtrack
- The story is incomprehensible, juvenile gibberish.
- The removal of all Final Fantasy characters is lame and undermines the original premise.
- Some worlds are actively unfun. Having Frozen immediately followed by Winnie the Pooh makes for a bad middle section of the game.
55. Sea of Stars(Cleared 9/9)
8/10
+ Gorgeous presentation
+ Catchy soundtrack
+ Flexible approach to difficulty customization
+ Great combat
+ The characters all feel distict
+ Interesting lore
= The story is... I hesitate to call it bad. It's more so bad it's good, with some frankly hysterical tonal whiplash. Like imagine if Fire Emblem Engage actually pulled off what it was going for.
- Most of the characters lack personality, Garl aside.
- I'm not a fan of the timing mechanics in battle. They don't really do anything other than make the experience worse.
- A lot of the locks on bosses are a lie. As in they are actually impossible to break in the alloted timeframe, and don't even follow the normal rules of getting weaker the more locks you break.
- Locking the true ending behind collectibles is cheeky.
56. Fuga: Melodies of Steel(Cleared 9/9)
8/10
Speaking of tonal whiplash. Take the most adorable set of cartoon animal children and put them in Valkyria Chronicles, and you've got this emotional trainwreck. I highly recommend this masterpiece to anyone who likes Fire Emblem and wants that experience in a turn-based JRPG.
+ Masterfully uses is cute artstyle and support conversations to emotionally batter you and make you want to protect them. It evokes the same desire for a perfect run that Fire Emblem does.
+ Particularly deep turn-based combat.
+ Effectively creates the same attrition-based gameplay and social sim as Persona in a more streamlined form.
+ Really excels at "one more go" pacing.
+ Interesting adaptation of WW2 storytelling.
+ Innovative game structure.
+ Likeable characters.
+ Beautiful soundtrack.
- The difficulty choices are fake, if not downright deceptive. Not choosing the hardest route causes the player to lose out on so many rewards that the game will become harder for them. This is the problem with rewarding more skilled players with power in any game. Those who need the help fall behind, while those who don't need the help get an easier game.
- The degree to which enemies hit you with status effects is obnoxious.
- Blocking often feels bad because it only works on one enemy. And enemies tend to attack all at once.
- Lack of saves in battle or even between many battles can result in game sessions going on way longer than intended.
57. Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star (Cleared 9/10)3/10. So, when I of all people say a Warriors game is shit, it's really shit.
+ The roster's good. It's just one Lancelot short of having all of the anime essentials, and he's added in the sequel. And... that's the only complement I have.
- This is not Fate. This is the same stuck-in-an-MMO isekai bullshit as Sword Art Online. In fact, I'm 99% sure they wanted to do SAO and got stuck with a different license but decided to do it anyway.
- The story is so atrocious, boring, and focused on cringe fanservice that I literally started enjoying the game more after I started skipping it all.
- The game is solely concerned with slowing you down. It uses the Hyrule Warriors DE style base capture where you have to spawn enemy officers by killing hundreds of peons, except the peons are more durable, you have to kill more, and they love to spread out. Also, this also applies when defending your base, against all logic. And enemies LOVE to invade your bases, so you'll be doing this alot. This game is the secret to immortality. It makes 15 minutes feel like 45 minutes.
- Most of the movesets I tried feel really subpar, with slow animations comparable to FEW without Astra.
- Low stage variety, and they almost all look alike. Except for the ones that have a slight Japanese flair on the same garbage online coding aesthetic that the rest of the game has.
- The main story locks you into the 3 waifus (Nero, Tamammo, and Atila). And I do mean waifus, not heroines, because they spend most of the game's script uncomfortably dry humping your self-insert protagonist to death. But I digress. Want to play anyone else? You're locked into their side stories with the same 3 formulaic missions.
58. Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart(Cleared 9/17)
9/10. Just a really friggin enjoyable game.
+ Strong story, for a mascot platformer, anyway.
+ Ratchet's blend of third person gunplay and collectathon is always a delight.
+ Rivet is a delightful new character, and if they would up their production rate of these games, I wouldn't mind her getting her own solo games. Or just, you know, coming back.
+ The guns are all quirky and fun to use, and fun to upgrade
+ Collectibles are satisfying and useful
+ The visuals are good
+ The rift mechanic is fun
59. Ghostwire Tokyo(Cleared 9/18)
7/10
+ Visually stunning and unique
+ Awesome animations
+ Ideal for someone like me who prefers slower gunplay.
- More Ubisoftian than an actual Ubisoft open world game. Bloated as Hell.
- Some enemy types are extremely annoying
- The game frequently rips you away from your powers, forcing insufferable stealth sections
60. Diablo Immortal(Cleared 9/22)
So, any score I give this is coming with a big asterisk. It's more fun than Diablo 2, but it's also so evil its monetization that it's a worse game. Ultimately, I decided on a 4/10 to represent that.
+ Excellent visuals for an ARPG. It's both grimdark and attractive.
+ Solid combat, if compromised by touch controls.
+ Their approach to channeled skill cooldowns is excellent and should be copied going forward.
- Disgusting pay to win monetization
- Level gates the story constantly.
- Frequent intrusive reminders to try social and store features.
61. Trials of Mana Remake (Hawkeye/Riesz path)
(Cleared 9/24)
7/10.
+ Charming nostalgic art style
+ Good retro music
+ Fun DW-style combos
+ Great class system
+ High replay value
+ Loaded with collectibles
- Bad voice acting.
- Can't smoothly combo attacks into spells.
- AI is dumb. It doesn't heal reliably, and it can die on you pretty easily.
- Certain trap sessions are stupidly annoying.
- It's hard to like the characters. Charlotte is annoying. Hawkeye is generally likeable, until he decides to be a big creep. Kevin's voice acting is insufferable. Riesz is cool though, and I don't have enough experience with the other 2.
As for what I'm playing now, I'm mainlining Lost Judgement and Chained Echoes. I'm also playing Torchlight 3 and nearing the end of my Neo TWEWY run (but it says a lot about my opinion of the game that even its ending arc isn't making me focus on it).
Thank you for this it was fun to read

In uplifting news, to balance this out, Minnesota passed a new law making all public colleges and universities in the State free for Minnesota residents, Wisconsin's governor tricked the State's Republican legislature into increasing funding for public schools for the next 400 years, Michigan passed red-flag laws on guns and banned "conversion therapy", California is California.
Now you need to play Xenoblade X.
I KNOW!!! I have still have my Wii U but I really don't want to play on it anymore
