Skyward Sword Acquired!

I didn't plan on picking this up since I hadn't preordered, but our lovely Best Buy buffoons found me a bundle in the back, somehow. I got asked I don't know how many times if I wanted SKYRIM instead of Skyward Sword

........ HOW DID YOU NOT HEAR THE "LEGEND OF ZELDA" PART BEFORE THAT. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT ZELDA IS.

Hell no, stoned high school kid associated at Best Buy, I wouldn't take Skyrim if you paid me to play it. >_>

That being said! IT IS MINE!

Yes, that is a reflection of myself. That's how shiny that box is!

I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would be - the story and characters are already inching their way into my deep and black "pit-of-despair" heart. There are options so you can reply (limitedly) as Link. I like that they have an auto center with the camera feature now. My one and biggest complaint would be with the Wii Motion plus controller. Supposedly it makes it more accurate, but from what I can tell, it just....is the same. They really should've just released all that in the controller at launch.  :3

At least I didn't have to purchase the motion controller (thank god for that bundle!) but if I did...$40 is a big markup. They don't sell the little attachments anymore for $25, apparently? ;_; On that note, are they even planning on a gold nunchuk? Since I picked up my gold remote, I also got Goldeneye (for the gold classic controller!) and I wanna complete my set, Nintendo! I do hope, however, that the emblem doesn't just wear off on the controller - it's rather flimsily painted on.

The matte gold on these is kinda nasty/gritty to touch :/ That's the SOLE reason the protector cover thing is on.

I love how bright this game is compared to Twilight Princess - Yes I know, Twilights vs. ZOMG BRIGHT SKY but still

Mostly for plushie making references! :D

Link has a cute plush of his Red Featherwing creature in his closet. Adorable~!

I hope I can get some more of this played before going on break. That and Mass Effect 2, or Halo:CE Anniversary Edition, or anything else I've bought recently.Only got a good haul b/c of birthday esque stuff and gift cards. XD

WHO ELSE IS PLAYING SKYWARD SWORD ? I need someone to share in the awesomeness of this with me. I'm sure E is getting tired of hearing me shriek about how awesome it is.

PREVIEW: Lunar Silver Star Harmony (PSP)

Holy god. I cannot wait for this to come out.

http://media.psp.ign.com/media/143/14349376/imgs_1.htm

I didn't even know there was a limited edition until the other day. 13 bromides and a soundtrack? A nice homage to Working Designs if I've ever seen one.



So excited!

Lunar was a significant part of my childhood. I remember the first time I bought it, seeing the opening theme for the first time....listening to the soundtrack. All very significant. Redundant much?

Needless to say, my copy is already preordered! E and I really shouldn't be buying new games - that's the point of this blog and how the whole concept got started - let's clean out and actually PLAY the ones we already have instead of spending money on new stuff that will most likely just sit on our shelf. I've already beaten this game numerous times and you know what? I'll do it again on the PSP.



It even looks like they updated the sprites and character portraiture. It's so bright and cute!

For some reason, E never got to play this. It's on our backlog list, since he absolutely MUST play it but I'm not sure as to whether it'll be a console review or a singular review for him. I think it'll be the latter, since I have NOTHING but great things to say about it.

God why are so many good games coming out so soon!? I cannot afford them! ;_; Definitely preorder this though, since the first one was SO hard to find and I'm not sure how this one will fare though. No use in taking chances though!

So what games are you looking forward to?
