Games Beaten

-Blaster Master Zero 2 (Switch)

Blaster Master Zero 2 is largely more of the same and that's not bad. The NES+ look and sound of the game is still fantastic, and the new locations bring some great variety to the visuals. Controls are tight even if the varied arsenal is still undeveloped (I used some of them a lot though). The story fulfills its role, leading to some satisfying melodrama in the "good" ending. It's an easy recommend. Feels old school without being punishing. Looking forward to BMZ3!

Games Bought

July marked the occasion of my oldest son buying his first game with his own money, Game Builder Garage (Switch). Not my kind of game but it's gotten a lot of use since he downloaded it, so it seems like a solid purchase. On my end I picked up The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Switch), two Victorian-themed 3DS games that were formerly stuck in Japan.

I'm gonna get into a Monster Hunter game someday, or my name ain't Snee!

Well, it things get desperate, you can always head down to your local courthouse and take care of that Snee problem! Then you won't have to play a Monster Hunter game Tongue Out

I've been curious about those Blaster Master Zero games.  I never got into the NES game, though.

I've been playing the heck out of the new Ace Attorney.  Love those games!

Did you see that Picross game that has SEGA characters in it?

If you get a chance, please check out my new podcast.  I've written a couple of blogs here about it recently!

I didn't know there was a Sega Picross game! I'd like to play the one where you solve a murder mystery with the power of Picross. I think it's called Murder by Numbers. What's the Sega one called?

It's called Picross S: Genesis & Master System Edition.

I'll definitely have to get that! My main complaint with the Picross S games is that the pictures are so mundane but not so with this one! Very cool.

That Ace Attorney game intrigues me. I may have to watch a trailer and see if I might like it.

This one definitely has the nicest presentation in the series to date but if you are totally new, I have to recommend the original trilogy. Those stories are so good!
