Breath Of The Wild 2 looks very fun, also can't get enough of the Stone Talus with a Bokoblin fortress on its back.

GOOD HEAVENS am I hyped for Metroid Dread. The only issue is that I can see the whole "hide from the robot by using an ability" thing might end up get old.

Oh good heavens, new Warioware, looks kinda fun.

There's a new Two Point Game? I didn't notice.

I like the design of the Advance Wars game, it looks like a boardgame.

Doom Eternal DLC on Switch, so now more people can experience the disappointing final boss fight.

They added Tekken to Smash and killed off Ganondorf, Captain Falcon and Min Min in the progress. At least Kirby survived...

Wait, the characters from Danganronpa are high-school students? Most of them look older than I am!

It makes me laugh how many people disliked just because there was one announcement out of the entire 40 minutes that they didn't like.

The last two presentations before Nintendo’s E3 Direct (as well Namco Bandai’s presentation and an awards show) and they... things.

My primary system these days is the Xbox Series X so Limited Run Game’s presentation with it’s PlayStation focus didn’t appeal as much for me. I got really excited about the Shantae bundle but then it was revealed to be for the PS5 only... still hoping for a physical release of Shantae and the Seven Sirens for either Xbox Series X or at least Nintendo Switch.

That said, a couple games did have me intrigued me such as the stealth game Republique and the Mega Man Battle Network spiritual successor with cute girls; One Step From Eden. If either of them get a physical release on my two current consoles then they are a purchase to consider.

Also, the official release of an English version of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood for the TurboGrafx CD was uniquely awesome. So in retrospect, the Limited Run Games actually was somewhat decent... though their humour, enjoyable at first, did start to get a tad grating.

Last post I mentioned having E3 thoughts. Well here’s the only one really worth posting: After years of salt, I can finally take Capcom off the no-sale shit list that they were the sole occupant of. Their tenure there began when a greasy looking punk said his name was Dante in a reboot nobody asked for. I’m not too proud to admit that I was devastated by it. So when the Capcom logo popped up, I was ready to dismiss everything that trailer had to offer. I figured it was maybe an RE. Maybe something else. Then it started looking like a DmC2 and I was ready to just plain quit watching altogether. But then...

“Is that Nero...?”

I had to call people. I had to fangirl out on discords. Hype levels are now dangerously high for this game. Who’d have ever thought I’d be so happy to see Nero of all people. And then Dante!! I don’t care that he looks scruffy and kinda like WoR Noctis. I knew that voice! But that bike! Can it be that they’re actually dealing with DMC2 at last, and getting him out of hell? I can’t believe it. All of these things I figured would never happen. Sounds like there’s going to be a happy snowball somewhere come Spring 2019.

In the meantime, I haven’t bought a Capcom game in the 8 years since DmC was announced.
