The problem is that it's really built around the new controls. Like the bosses, for instance, often necessitate flying one way and shooting another, which the new controls do allow for. Whole portions of the game would have to be reworked to make more traditional controls a viable option. I would have preferred a more traditional approach but taken on its own merits, what's here is still very good.
Mankind Divided is about $23 on Amazon now, so there's really no excuse to not pick it up. And it's a shame you didn't give Skyward Sword more of a chance. It's a really great Zelda adventure!
Looks like you had a really solid year! You got through a couple games that I meant to play and didn't get to—namely the new Phoenix Wright—thanks to the end of the year being so nuts for me. I'm looking forward to digging into Splatoon!
You haven't played Shovel Knight?!?? You gotta get on that, man. It's sooo good and especially easy to appreciate for someone who has been gaming for a couple of decades.
Your opinion about Star Fox Zero seems more popular than mine but I still disagree lol.
I do have a digital copy of Tron Bonne as well and hope to play it soon! 
Congrats on the PS4! The one in our house certainly gets a lot of use. I see you've gotten a lot of recommendations already, so I'll let you stew on those 
We'll have to play together! (You know, once you're in a position to do that sort of thing again.)
That's a lot of games. Did you finish all those? I can't believe how many hours you put into Minecraft! I still gotta put together my own year end blog.
It looks kind of generic to me and it's hard to get interested in something like that when there are so many games to play. Maybe it's really good! Perhaps I'll try it one day.
I had high hopes for Lost World after enjoying Sonic Colors so much (it's probably my favorite Sonic game). Silly of me think Sonic Team could maintain a certain level of quality from one game to the next -___-
I just commented on your blog!
