Street Fighter V was a disappointment back in 2016. I appreciated Street Fighter’s single player content in the past and I was hoping for better in SFV. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max’s World Tour was a blast! I also tried to take the competitive multiplayer seriously but I couldn’t commit to a game that did not feel the same offline and online. I’ve heard the online performance has gotten better but if I were to pick up Street Fighter V Champion Edition, it would be to just mess around with the latest iteration on the cheap.

I liked Vanquish. I remember loving the stylish action but I don’t recall much about the game itself, if I’m being honest. It’s been nearly 10 years which means a 4K60 remaster is in order. I think I’ll pick this up once it goes on sale. Bayonetta and Vanquish comes in a 10th Anniversary double-pack but I recently replayed Bayonetta when it was included with Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U. Vanquish though? I haven’t played that since 2010.

Florence was a very sweet interactive story on iOS. My fiancee and I enjoyed it on my iPad already but I’m glad to see it come to more platforms. It isn’t very long — most will be able to finish in a single sitting — but it’s worthwhile on the cheap.

In hindsight, WarCraft II was my favorite WarCraft game. However, WarCraft III would be second. The hero stuff was interesting but the game as a whole shifted away from base building that was unexpected at the time. I liked their shift towards characters for the sake of a more interesting narrative but I didn’t find the shift towards character abilities to be my preference.

I hope Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is solid. It doesn’t need to be the greatest thing since sliced bread; all it needs to be is a solid game for fans of the series.

This game reminds me that I still need to finish watching Dragon Ball Z Kai. My brother and I were watching the Buu saga before we got busy.

A port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is heading over to the Nintendo Switch. I would be happy about it but I own an unopened copy of the Wii U version. I went out of my way to buy it thinking it wouldn’t appear on any other console and be relegated to the niche gem. I guess I was proven wrong by Atlus and now a wider audience can enjoy it.

A bunch of poos chasing a green cube wearing a hat. That’s a certainly a game made by the Katamari Damacy creator, Keita Takahashi. I didn’t play any of his games since Katamari Damacy but I kept tabs on his output since that smash hit. I haven’t seen anything of his that tickled my fancy like Katamari.
