But also like, exclusives are only part of the answer, my big reason for buying a games' system is getting an experience I can't easily get elsewhere, hence my strong appreciation of the Wii and 3DS, and also why I have a PS Vita.

Y'see, this is what really tanks my interest on a PS3...
Every time I see a game I really want on that system, I look it up, and I find it on sale on Steam for like, $2...

I found it! The ONE Proper 2D Fighter for the DS!
Motion inputs, air-dashes, juggle combos, super moves and all!
It's Windy x Windam! So... How is it? ...'Meh xD

(Also, yes, I know about the Bleach games I just... Can't be made to care about Bleach xD)

Tried out some Next Fest demos and, In Falsus here is FAR AND AWAY My Highlight! Much like Mash:VP Re-Vision, it's a rhythm game that feels right outta the arcade! I LOVE IT~โค๏ธ

You play it with 6 keys and by moving the mouse left and right, but I played with my pocket voltex, and it was PERFECT!

There we go, I finally beat Zelda Wind Waker!
I did it with the Linkle mod on my Wii, it was... Good.
It did turn out to be a good game in the end, despite all the padding, and how it feels like they ran out of time while making it... There's more good here than not.

2014 and 2016 were gap years where I didn't watch much (if any) anime at all, and before 2011 I hadn't found my niche yet, and didn't feel particularly strongly about all that much...

Ironically though, 2020~2022 are pretty fuzzy for me... I need some time to think over those...

Actually, nevermind, that was a quest for a heart piece, the other character appears when you finished the dungeon that requires the previous character, so turns out you have to do the dungeons in order... What a tease...

"...But turns out you still can't enter the dungeons, first you need to find these two characters and bring them here, but to find this one you need to do this quest within 20 minutes, the other one is just sitting there though..."

Y'know what I was saying about padding?

One thing I REALLY Appreciated about this show was the lack of male gaze, like, there's none of THAT kind of fanservice, all the girls were just portrayed like normal people, it was Great!!

So I was playing that Wind Waker Linkle mod and I thought: "This is brilliant! Every #Zelda game needs a hack like this! ... Why don't I make one myself?"
And well, yeah, here it is!

Cute girls anime is usually like that... They get dismissed a lot due to, frankly, mysogyny, but then you actually watch them and turns out they're lowkey the best thing ever...

Something I often say is: When every character is female, they're forced to write CHARACTERS, not tokens.

My counter point is that the graphics aren't worse, they're better!
This is just my opinion of course, but I think 2D games Almost Always look better than 3D games, and stylised 3D games Basically ALWAYS Look better than realistic ones.
I know, this is a whole other kettle of fish, but y'know...
