You know what's actually not have terrible mobile game? PUBG Mobile. I'm sure it's not as good as the real game, but it's a lot of fun on its own merits. In fact, it's actually starting to pull me away from Hearthstone which is normally my go-to mobile game.

My son started playing aLttP on the Snes mini.  He has wanted to play a Zelda game for quite some time, but at 6 I feel he's a bit young to be able to play it properly.  I introduced him to aLttP on the mini a while ago and he kind of lost interest after rescueing Zelda from the dungeon in the opening scene.  A week or so ago he asked about playing it again and beat the first dungeon yesterday.  It's odd and heartwarming, seeing him play through the game, offering advice - just like my dad and I played through it together 25 years ago.

You thought at 6 Zelda was too hard, so gave him one of the OG Zeldas which are apparently way harder than the new ones?

Sounds like you planned this all out, just so you had to guide him through it! Nyaa

The truly terrible thing that this post reveals, is that I haven't played any of the original 2D Zelda games. Sad

LOL

I figured that the 3D combat would be too intricate for him to wrap his head around.  He has played games like Mario Kart and Odissey, but those games revolve mainly around 2D planes, while 3D zelda introduces bows and hookshots and the like.

He got through the first dungeon pretty good.  He just hasn't learned to look at the game world with an inquisitive eye.  I have to point him towards things in the scenery that look 'off', like a bush in a weird place, or a crack in a wall.  He also asked for my help with the first boss, so I helped him analyze the patterns and come up with a strategy to defeat him.

Also, he dies a lot and is a bit OCD, so he has already maxed out his purse by now.  Nyaa

Yes.  Even more so seeing as aLttP is both Archie and my favorite Zelda game.

Netherland authorities find 4 games with lootboxes to be gambling due to the ability to sell the goods for real money through third party marketplaces

This could potentially be huge.  If other governments follow this reasoning, publishers will need to crack down on third party marketplaces.  This has the potential to really bring some change.  tge 4 games found to qualify as gambling were FIFA, DOTA2, PUBG and ROCKET LEAGUE.  That last one isn't in all caps, but it seemed like the nice thing to do to type it as such nontheless.

These Suda 51 interviews on Travis Strikes again are getting annoying.

He keeps being asked and he answers questions about No More Heroes 3. And it's clear everyone would rather have that then Strikes Again. Now he's even saying that the reason he's making Strikes Again is so if it's popular he gets to make NMH3.

They should have just made it in the first place.

Sorry. I’ve been a bit too busy lately to give my impressions. You’ll have to wait a bit longer.

I'd love a new wave race, even if it's just a remake of blue storm, in itself a remake of the N64 original. Heck, have Shin'en make it, it'd be spectacular!

Also, GG, top job with the labo/GoW subheader.  LOL

God of War is on it's way I've been told. My impression of that, is that it's pretty fucking swell.

Utterly gorgeous. Kratos is haunted and human but as badass as ever... and he’s a Dad...
