30 days, kids

Well kids, it is now merely 30 days until the release of quite possibly the greatest game to ever grace the earth with its presence: Pokemon X and Y. With all the new news I find myself more and more hyped about it, it looks great (especially if you chose Froakie) and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. 30 DAYS. WE CAN DO IT GUYZ!

Pokemon Direct Reaction

Wow. I knew it was coming... but they look GREAT. Especially Blastoise. Charizard too. And Venusaur. Damn, they all look good. In addition to that, AMERICA HAS SPECIAL 3DS XL'S!!! FINALLY! And also, they announced a cloud storage system for your Pokemon called "Pokemon Bank" which is friggin fantastic because that means you can easily transport all of your Pocket Monsters from Black/White to X and Y, hundreds at a time. For an annual fee for maintenance. Overall, amazing. I am ridiculously pumped. I am really hoping X and Y nabs Game of the Year, but that is highly unlikely. Nonetheless, I hope it goes far, because I know that I will be playing the heck out of it. Until next time, see ya.

WOW

September is Here

September is here. That means more games. Lots of new games. Lots of great games and fun games. Here is my most anticipated game of September:

NOT GTA 5!!!!!!

RAYMAN LEGENDS

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH! Get ready for ridiculously fun multiplayer punching, smacking, hitting with axes, and FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. Rayman legends hits XBOX 360, PS3, PC, and Wii U on the 3rd. GET ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

2DS?

Maybe. My first reaction was kind of a: "what the..." but once I got to thinking about it, its actually a pretty darn good idea. I was once that kid who wanted something badly but couldn't afford it, this is perfect for little kids, which is who Nintendo loves the most ain't it? With a lower price, and no 3D, this thing isn't too shabby. Especially if you consider how often you play in 3D. I don't know about you, but I spend less than 5% of my total 3DS time playing in 3D. It is unnecessary. And, as a matter of fact, if I didn't have a 3DS aleady, I would buy the 2DS.
So yeah. It's nifty. It's sleek. I like it. Great idea. Keep being great, Nintendo.

HEYHEYHEY

HEYHEYHEY! It's great to be back. Back in the Saddle Again. (Check out that song by Aerosmith) So school kind of was eating up more time than I was expecting, so I've been out of it for a while, but don't worry yourselves. I'll be posting 1-2 times a week throughout the year. Starting tonight with my reaction to the 2DS!!! Yes. That is a real thing. SO I'll see you all later tonight!

Pikmin 3 Review

   First off, sorry for the long delay. I was at a camp, but when I came back I immediately began playing through Pikmin 3's various gameplay modes. Now, I've got a review for you!

   I am going to start off with the Bingo Battle mode. I tried this once, but I disliked it very quickly. I am normally a fan of one-on-one games, but this I never really liked for some reason...
  On to the Missions. Missions have three different categories which are:
      1. Collect Treasure
      2. Battle Enemies
      3. Defeat Bosses
   I found all three modes equally enjoyable and very useful for training myself before entering a difficult area in the story mode, but what about that story mode?
   Story mode was a blast! With five different types of Pikmin and three captains at my disposal, multitasking was made easy with the Wii U GamePad, and on the later days when I was collecting up to 6 fruits a day, this really came in handy.
   Overall, I really felt that Nintendo really tried hard on this game, and it shows. The game is fluid and looks stunning (As I was hoping it would after being delayed for nearly a full year). I've seen good reviews all over the internet (and you're about to see another one) with only a couple of sites looking down on Pikmin 3. But my final verdict is...

96 out of 100
