     * Sykel: VERY DELIGHTFUL despite not being much of a game outside of a card game. Lots of heart, really makes you feel like a kid again. I really like the confusion between reality and fiction, something I'm sure we had a lot of as kids.     * Sykel: VERY DELIGHTFUL despite not being much of a game outside of a card game.

-    * nickperson: //Attack of the Friday Monsters// is by [[person:​Kaz Ayabe]], who made the //​[[game:​boku_no_natsuyasumi_series|Boku no natsuyasumi]]//​ games. It's a cute adventure/​item-collecting game. I don't go for these kinds of things, but Ayabe is definitely an artist/​genius/​craftsman and this game (like the //Boku no natsuyasumi//​ games) is miles ahead of anything like it. You will play it exactly once and be done with it forever.

 +    * 2501: Just a really chill, pleasant ARPG with light //Secret of Mana// and //Zelda// vibes (because it is a Koichi Ishii game) and a fantasy village sim metagame. It’s pretty and straightforward and it always mellows me out when I need it, which is exactly the kind of thing I miss in JRPGs nowadays. Hell of a lot more enjoyable and evocative of vintage Square than //Bravely Default//.

-    * nickperson: You're defending a princess in this game but you're directly controlling one character and it plays like an action game. Again, name-dropping old japanese dudes: it's [[people:​Yuzo Koshiro]]. I'm really tired of retro pixel anything but the fact that his company [[company:​ancient|Ancient]] is making games like this tells me that those guys really just know their limitations,​ and their audience. I think it's cool.

     * Bacon&​Onions:​ When I first played //Kokuga// I was confused by their choice of art style, why was everything so crudely blocky with simple plain textures? It looked like the game was put under serious size constraints for reasons I couldn'​t understand until last week, when I tried playing the game with my girlfriend'​s 9 year old brother. The entire game(27mbs?​) downloaded wirelessly to his cart in a few seconds and we tackled every stage together. It was amazing. I now think //Kokuga// has the best multiplayer co-op of any smup. The sharing of cards and the deliberate slow shots means we were communicating and working together constantly splitting up enemies. Using your sole revival card to bring your teammate back to life so you can fight the boss together is awesome. I'm convinced the game was designed around co-op and much of the design choices were made to make a better co-op smup.     * Bacon&​Onions:​ When I first played //Kokuga// I was confused by their choice of art style, why was everything so crudely blocky with simple plain textures?

     * Isfet: [...] This game is pretty much the very definition of slow burn. it feels like it's always teetering on the edge of becoming "​boring"​ but it never reaches that point and so it's consistently brilliant.\\ hard as hell, though! it requires a part of my brain/​game-playing abilities that most developers don't really aim for any more.     * Isfet: [...] This game is pretty much the very definition of slow burn. it feels like it's always teetering on the edge of becoming "​boring"​ but it never reaches that point and so it's consistently brilliant.\\ hard as hell, though! it requires a part of my brain/​game-playing abilities that most developers don't really aim for any more.
-    * nickperson: //Kokuga// is by [[person:​Hiroshi Iuchi]], who made //​[[game:​Radiant Silvergun]]//​ and //​[[game:​Ikaruga]]//​. If you don't like 2D shooters, it's not! It's more like an action game. You just clear levels and don't die, time and scoring don't mean anything. In terms of vibes, pacing, enemy placement, and turning/​shooting/​camera speed it is flawless. I play it all the time and never get bored.

     * Ni Go Zero Ichi: Basically a straight port of the DS //Devil Survivor// - most of the game doesn'​t even utilize 3D - but with the addition of new demons, a new postgame scenario, and a bunch of unnecessary and largely unremarkable voice acting. Personally, //Devil Survivor// is the only //SMT// game I've played so far that pretty much fell flat with me, but evidently at least a few SBers feel differently.     * Ni Go Zero Ichi: Basically a straight port of the DS //Devil Survivor// - most of the game doesn'​t even utilize 3D - but with the addition of new demons, a new postgame scenario, and a bunch of unnecessary and largely unremarkable voice acting.

 +  ***//​WarioWare Gold//**
 +    * 2501: Quick rant on //​WarioWare//​ - back in the day, I recall certain high-profile SBers trashed the //WW// series as being conceptually akin to “glorified ‘Simon Says’”. This critique isn’t totally off-base but it always bothered me and I think I’ve figured out why: “SS” wants players to rapidly //mimic// a series of simple actions. //WW// wants players to rapidly //intuit// the rules of a constantly-changing series of games, which are //​performed//​ with simple actions. That seems like a subtle distinction but it represents a huge step up in terms of design complexity and skill ceiling. Like many Nintendo games, the real satisfying play modes (the high-speed remixes, played for score) are withheld until you’ve already beaten everything on “For Toddlers” difficulty. Anyway. If you haven’t played most or all of the previous games on the GBA, DS and Wii/Wii U, //Gold// is a great intro! If you have, well, it’s a Greatest Hits album (with a few new notes, remixes and gimmicks).
