Faxanadu!!!! Remember your Mantra!
A little reaffirmation, and "classic" gaming.

I finished up the Legend of Zelda last Friday. I really enjoyed the game, but left somewhat dissatisfied. I think that I have just been spoiled by A Link to the Past. I think that LoZ, like Metroid laid a wonderful foundation. I can believe that both games were the cream of the crop back when they were released, but the sequels took the best parts of the originals and expanded upon them. Either way, it was a great game. It was quite a treat seeing where one of my favourite games began.
I then sat down on Saturday to start and finish Super Metroid. It has been quite a few years since my last playthrough, so I forgot the placement of a few key items. I could not remember where Crocomire was, and I completely forgot about the Wave beam until after Ridley. In the end I finished the game in 5 hours with an 89% collection rating. I was quite surprised by that because I had a lower rating the last time I had played it.
AT&T finally came and fixed my internet. I cannot believe how much I missed having a proper connection. It tooke me a little bit, but I finally decided what game I am going to tackle next, Faxanadu. I have heard good things about this classic NES game, and dowloaded it off the VC. From the 15-20 minutes that I spent with it so far, I have gotten a good vibe. I hope that it does not disappoint.
One last thing. I saw on IGN that they claim that the PS4 will have 20 exclusive, 12 of which are new IPs out in the first year of the PS4. I figured as much, but they are doing a great job of upstaging Microsoft at every turn. Sony has 5 more exclusives coming, and 50% more new exclusive IPs. I love being reaffirmed that the PS4 is the way to go.
