Could play any Wii party game not from Nintendo. 98% of the Steam greenlight games that you only see morons on twitch scream playing them and that's their only purpose for existing.

I don't think that's what he was saying. I'm not sure I know any "Wii party games not from Nintendo" that are very good. Maybe Rayman Raving Rabbids?

Ohhh, I missed the word "party." My apologies. My post shall serve as a testament to my not-reading shame.

Imagine Babyz/Petz and the like. Also Xenoblade is Nintendo. It's a 1st party game. Monolith is fully owned by Nintendo and they have 2 studios. One that makes Xenoblade in Tokyo. One in Kyoto that assists on Mario Kart & Zelda.

I started Landstalker: Treasure of King Nole on the Sega Genesis this evening!

Wow, those are some isometric controls. Every time I moved, I felt like I was struggling with the controls. I would eventually do what I wanted to do, but it was certainly a pain. It never hindered the game though as it is quite forgiving. It's not like I need pinpoint accuracy as the main character swings his sword Link to the Past arc style.

Despite the controls and the weird sword swinging, I was really beginning to enjoy the game. It's cute and has a fun play about it. The game is an unabashed Zelda clone and it's not bad for what it is. Once you get in the right mindset, you begin to actually have a bit of control.

Also, along with Camelot, they helped develop the first Shining Force, so I have to give them some credit. It takes some getting used to, but it's not bad.

Yeah the controls definitely take some getting used to. Just make sure to use the diagonals on the d-pad and you should be fine! Glad you are enjoying it as it is one of my most favorite genesis games.

I just restarted Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love because I was suddenly really in the mood to play it again.

I love this game, it such cheese, but it's damn good cheese. Like a baked camembert or something.

Wii. I'm playing it as a 'portable' title - I have My Wii U gamepad on a coffee table in front of me with headphones plugged in, and I'm playing the game on that whilst the missus watches TV.
