Finally…FINALLY…FINALLY!!! I’M FINALLY GETTING A NINTENDO SWITCH!!! In the words of Prishe, from Final Fantasy XI: “It’s about damn time!” My older brother is taking me to Delaware to avoid the tax (we’re cheap like that. Haha!) I know I’m a year, or so, late but there’s a semi-good reason for it…
Nintendo has always held a special place in my heart and for many reasons. For starters, it was the system that my mom was comfortable with me playing after I blew out my Sega Genesis. Plus, it has a wider variety of games that two people (i.e. my brother and I) can play. Since then, I’ve always been a big fan of Nintendo and their products. Even their avant-garde approach to press conferences and showcases has always tickled my funny bone. This year was no different.
Name: Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Platform: Game Boy Advance
Style: 1-player Roleplaying Game
Publisher(s): Nintendo
Developer(s): Camelot Software Planning
Release Date: April 14, 2003
Date of Completion: January 15, 2018
Now, December of last year, I beat the first installment of the Golden Sun series and, two years back, I beat the third installment of the same series. So, it only made sense that I finish it up by completing the second installment: Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Luckily, the game allowed me to transfer my data from the first Golden Sun game. Now, if you want to play the story for yourself, do me two favors: (1) don’t read this because I have a few spoilers and, (2) buckle up because you’re in for a really rich story.
Name: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Platform: Wii U
Style: Multiplayer Sport/Party
Publisher(s): Nintendo
Developer(s): Sega Sports R&D
Release Date: June 24, 2016
Date of Completion: January 9, 2018
So, let me start off by saying that the WiiU wasn’t the best console that Nintendo has produced. Out of the 746 games that were created for the console, I only fifteen of them and PLAYED 14 of them to completion leaving out Xenoblade Chronicle X because I wasn’t that interested in it. And, funny enough, I only played one sport on that list: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (my goodness, that’s a mouthful).
