Sonic x Shadow Generations [Hands-Off Review]

I’m so excited for this one, folks!

While I wasn’t much of a Shadow the Hedgehog fan, Sega recently released an animated prologue to the game and gee willikers is it awesome!

Did you see that? Shadow being all serious, then all sad, then all angry. And the fighty-fight fights! Wow! Oh, Rouge. You’re so sassy! You’re my favorite flying rat ever. Sorry, Ray.

This is the one. The one game I MUST play. I have to know what happens between Shadow and Maria Robotnik. Do they reunite due to time-travel shenanigans? Is the timeline forever changed to include Maria or at least a time displaced version of her? Will Shadow get to say goodbye to his friend if this truly is the end? I must have answers. Time to order Sonic x Shadow Generations!

…But what if the ending sucks?

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom [Hands-Off Review]

It had to happen eventually.

Nintendo made a Legend of Zelda game starring Zelda. In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, you take the role of Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. Why?

Because Nintendo supports monarchies.

Oh? It’s fun living in a country under a dictatorship when you can just turn it off when your thin-crust pizza arrives, huh? Well, I say if we have to pay taxes, so does Princess Zelda!

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door [Hands-Off Review]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is back. And I, for one, can’t wait to give you my thoughts on the game.

I never played the original 2004 version, but I still feel nostalgic for the series because everyone else is and I want to fit in. Let’s get this out of the way: the game’s graphics on the Switch are amazing in the trailer. Mario looks 2D, just like paper! Bravo, Nintendo! It’s like playing a storybook on my TV…is what I’d be saying if I played the game.

And the controls? Well, someone on Reddit loved the controls while someone else hated them, so I’ll just guess they’re okay. It’s not like the controls are so bad you can’t play the game, right? But, if I was eating pizza (with a gluten-free crust, of course), it would probably be difficult eating and playing at the same time. Shame on you, Nintendo. You should’ve fixed that with a Day-1 patch!

All in in, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is absolutely a video game and I highly recommend it to anyone whose played the older version or follows gaming trends to feel like they’re part of a group and emotionally distance themselves from any harsh realities happening in their life they want to avoid. Let’s-a go!
