In my opinion, SF64 is one of the few Nintendo 64 games that still looks quite good after all these years. But I'm not surprised that the remake looks better. It'd be worrisome if it did not.

Level selector? That's interesting. Also, considering it's a Nintendo select game, it sells for about half the price of your typical 3DS game. Maybe I'll consider getting it someday but I'm not in a rush.

Picked up Star Fox Zero today.

I'm playing Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. It has sunk its teeth deep into me.

I'm playing Chrono Trigger. It's my first time. All I can say is that this game is great so far! I only wish that I'd had this game when it was originally new. I'm pretty sure that this game would've entertained me a lot as a kid and would've kept my interest.

The only thing I'm having trouble with is with the battle system. It's a good one, but the problem is that I get so disoriented by all that's happening on screen I may choose the wrong option. I'm so used of old-style turn-based RPGs where the characters (and enemies) stay still until a move is issued or when it's their turn to move. The fact that the enemies are still moving is still taking a lot of getting used to, but that's a really nifty feature.

A friend of mine has this game. He came to visit Japan last year. One of the places featured in the game is Nakano Broadway. It's one of my favorite places here in Tokyo since I'm such a retro-nerd. I took my friend there. When he got this game, he showed me a screen shot of it, and said that Nakano Broadway was in the game and it was 100% accurate.

The best thing about Chrono Trigger is it's soundtrack. Some damn good music on there.

[Icebot]

I've been playing Mario Sunshine. I got some of the hardest shines and blue coins,

Spoiler:

including the lily pad one with the poisonous water, the Japanese Pinball thingy, the 3 durians.

Uncharted 4; which is awesome, and just unwrapped Doom.

[Sumac]

Completed Wolfenstein (2009) - cool shooter.
Currently playing various fighting games, from Capcom vs SNK to SNK vs Capcom and King of Fighters.

I am playing through the fifth chapter of Until Dawn. I swore I'd wait to play it until I could find it for $20, and it was worth the wait. The choice-based gameplay is cool, but not quite as cool as that of Life is Strange.

Also snagged the definitive edition of Tomb Raider on PS4.

[CyberCubed]

Uncharted 4 is done. Great game, but like all Naughty Dog games a little overrated. 8.5 I'd say.

Finally picked up Double Dragon Neon via Steam since it's about 60% discounted via Humble Bundle. Anybody wanna connect for some online Bro-op playthroughs? I've found the game pretty hard!

[CyberCubed]

Playing Bloodborne for the first time, the game is both hard and rewarding at the same time. Still getting the hang of it, I'm up to the third boss. I don't like the idea of farming/repetitive killing enemies just to grow levels but I suppose its necessary if I have any hope of progressing.

Never played any Dark Souls game so I'm trying Bloodborne as my first. I'm not sure if I'll make it to the end but I'll give it a good attempt.

You can finish it if you can get past the first bosses. It will get harder but so will you!

I hope you have the DLC too, because it's something else...

[CyberCubed]

I literally died at the second boss (the hunter in the cemetary), around 20 times before I beat him. I thought people were exaggerating when they said this game was hard and that you lose at bosses 20 times, but they sure weren't kidding!

It really is so unlike all modern games.

I'm playing the new Doom. I like how fast paced the battles are and the exploration. Really good game.

I beg your pardon?

Yep. Loving it. Did not expect it to be anywhere near as fun as it is. Haven't touched the multiplayer yet.

Playing through the first Phoenix Wright game now. I bought the remastered trilogy on the 3DS Eshop. I'm only in case 2 but I'm really enjoying it.

[Shiro Kame]

EarthBound and EarthBound Beginnings.
