Xenoblade and Smash Bros
I have finally started playing Xenoblade Chronicles, I wonder how long I have waited to do that? And it feels great to have started, I love most Monolith Softwares games well at least the ones with Xeno in the title and I really had to play this one too. Since I’ve heard so many good things about it, even from people who normally don’t play JRPG’s. I’m not very far into the game, since I’ve lost myself in doing errands and checking out the huge world and I’m betting I’ve seen nothing yet. There are huge plains and fields in this game and the game really gives you a great feeling of traveling long was. This is both good and bad, since it takes a while to get too places. But once you’ve unlocked a place you can fast travel there.
The music so far is awesome! I especially like the track “You Will Know Our Names” it’s so good! Especially around the the 1minute mark, good god! My ears are in heaven! I love music like this! Ahh!! Going to play a bit more in just a bit, need to play what I can since I start working again this Thursday.
Today there was also an announcement about some new characters joining the new Super Smash Bros game. Which got me really excited since there was a rumor and a “leak” that Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles would join the cast. We still don’t know if this is true or not, but we got two new Fire Emblem characters and a reveal that Captain Falcon is returning. We got Luciana and Robin (both male and female) as new players and Chrom seems to be Robin’s final smash.

Games I want in 2014
We have already passed through half of 2014, man those six months really passed by in a flash didn’t they? There has already been some great games released this year, but I have to say that all the big ones that I was looking forward to had been delayed into 2015, both sad and good. It’s easier to focus s on what’s releasing this year. So what games do I want? Well there are still a few games releasing this year that I need to get my hands on. There are a few more, but these are the ones that I want asap!
Tales of Xillia 2
RELEASE: 2014-08-22 for PlayStation 3
As some of you might now I am a very big Tales of fan and of course I need Tales of Xillia 2! I really liked the first one and I am eagerly looking forward to this title as well. It will ease the wait for Tales of Hearts R and Tales of Zestiria. So much Tales of games for us in the west! Thank you Bandai Namco!
Hyrule Warriors
RELEASE: 2014-09-26 for Nintendo Wii U
While I’m not a really big fan of the Dynasty Warriors games, I’ve had some fun with the series. Especially the ones bases on other shows or games. And here we have Hyrule Warriors, you’ve guessed it! It’s based on The Legend of Zelda series and it looks fantastic! I think the game looks great and I love princess Zelda’s new design in this game, whom is also playable and kicking ass!
Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX
RELEASE: 2014-12-05 for PlayStation 3
I never played much of Kingdom Hearts 2 and I have never played Birth By Sleep and I want to play them both! Well especially BBS, I’ve heard so many good things from that game. And it would be nice to get away from Sora and his gang for once. Not much more too say, but I want this now!
Bayonetta 2 (plus Bayonetta 1)
RELEASE: 2014-0?-?? for Nintendo Wii U
I’m not a big Bayonetta find mind you, but I had my fun with the first game. And getting both games in one packaged in Europe is great! With glorious 60fps, this game looks fantastic and the fights are so damn nice! LET’S DANCE BOYS!

E3 2014: Nintendo
Nintendo’s E3 digital direct is over and a shame it was a short one, I enjoyed some parts of it tremedosly. Like their beginning with Reggie and Iwata fighting it out in cool Smash Bros style! Nintendo who can joke and do stuff like this is best Nintendo, I got very excited. So now its time to save up more money and get a Nintendo Wii U. Here are some of the games I enjoyed mostly from Nintendo, in no specific order. But these are some of my favorites, I can’t post them all. But I can post them that spoke most too me.
Hyrule Warriors
I’ve enjoyed some of the Dynasty Warriors games and taking that game and fuse it with The Legend of Zelda really got me going. I like what I’ve seen and I’m mildly hyped for this title, can’t wait to play it! And two player mode is great!
Bayonetta 2 (+ Bayonetta)
Now this was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed the original Bayonetta and was looking forward to number 2. They confirmed that you get the first game for free on Wii U when you buy the second one. And there where some new costumes and stuff for the first Bayonetta game.
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Those who know me and have followed me for a while, know that I really enjoy Monolith Softwares games. Like the Xenosaga series, still haven’t gotten the chance to play Xenoblade Chronicles. (Its coming!) But this trailer sold me! Goddamn I want this new game, it looks so damn amazing. Wow! I got goosebumps watching it.
The Legend of Zelda Wii U
Nintendo just showed us a little teaser for the new Legend of Zelda game. And it looks great! Just check out this teaser!

Pre-E3 preperations!
This year I’m going to watch E3 with my good friend Elden! Yaay!
Really looking forward to sharing this moment with a friend, now drops some big bombs so we can be hyped together! We are preparing snacks, food and other stuff. We will be making our own pizza, we’ll share our creations with you later! I know that my pizza posts has been fairly popular on my site, so it was time to make some more! And hoping people will enjoy it as much as we’ll do making this! =)
Here is the preparations I’ve made so far! I’ve made the pizza dough and tomorrow, we’ll make the pizzas. Really looking forward to see and taste our pizzas. E3 hype engage!

Some of the big stuff in May
May was a pretty boring month all in all. Sure there was the release of Watch_Dogs that was much bigger than I thought it would be. And I don’t think I was alone in being surprised with how well it sold, but congrats to Ubisoft for that. Still need to play some more of that game, good think I have a three day weekend this week!
Yeah, Drakengard 3 also got its release. I imported the US version, since I wanted a physical copy of the game. A shame Square Enix decided to do digital only in Europe. But I’m really looking forward to take on that game too, since I really enjoyed Nier I have some expectations from this game.
I also went to the cinema and watched X-men Days of Future Past. What a great movie! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did or rather that it would be so liked by so many others! I’m a sucker for comicbook movies, but it doesn’t seem like a lot of people like them. Avengers doesn’t count! ;)
Wish I could have gone and seen Godzilla too, I need to have Godzilla 98 erased from my head, that was such a disappointing cinema visit for my 15year old self. They own me a good Godzilla movie in a cinema!
Above are the games I got in May. The Nintendo games where dirty cheap, since a place where I live was selling out a bunch of stuff since they where downsizing. The PlayStation 4 games I’ve payed next to nothing for, since I’ve used preorder deals and whatnot to get as cheap as possible. You need to be able to catch good deals, when you have a really tight budget. I think everything here cost me about 800SEK, so I’m pretty pleased with that. Sure I’ve payed some money for the games I traded in, but they had a good trade in value, that’s why I didn’t pay much more in the end. So yeah, pretty pleased with that haul.

E3 2014 in a few weeks!
Oh, my aching body! Man I’m beat. My muscles hurt everywhere! Well at least I’m still going to the gym, won’t quit that easily. But man, it sure hurts. But it’s like they say; Pain is weakness, leaving the body. Got to keep fighting, but I enjoy it. Yeah, I’m going to stop nagging about the gym now.
Soon the event of the year for me is here! Well, this is mostly true. Watching E3 live has become a tradition for me, I’ve been doing it a couple of years now and I’ll continue to do so. It will begin on June 9th, 18:00 in Swedish time. As I’ve mentioned in past posts, I can’t remember AM or PM. You’ll have to find the time for your country on your own, sorry.
I’m really looking forward to this years E3 for various reasons, I’m hoping Microsoft is brining something great! At least it will be more enjoyable without Don Mattrick, I really couldn’t stand that guy. He has this creepy face and looks like he has zero confidence. Phil Spencer seems like he is on the right track and hopefully will bring a bunch of good stuff. Hopefully it will be better than last year, which in my opinion was just terrible.
Sony is doing good with the PlayStation 4 right now and I’m very excited to see what they’ll reveal. I’d love to get some JRPG’s announced. Perhaps we’ll have to wait for Tokyo Game Show for that, but I’m still hoping. Absolutely nothing wrong with dreaming. I hope they won’t grow arrogant, like they have been in the past. I like this new Sony and I hope they keep delivering. Sadly we won’t be seeing Jack Tretton on the Sony stage this year, since he has left the company. I really enjoyed hearing him speak, so its going to be interesting to see who will replace him.
But I’m most looking forward to Nintendo, I want to see what they bring to the table. I really want them to take revenge and get back in the top. Don’t get me wrong, they make great games! But it would be nice if more people made games for the Wii U and I sure hope they can turn it around and be more successful. I want to see more of “X” and perhaps they’ll reveal the real name of the game, will probably be “Xeno” something. Hopefully we can get a first glimpse at The Legend of Zelda U and other great Nintendo games.
I enjoy it that Nintendo is starting to take a more humors approach to themselves, like you can see in Tomodachi Life Direct and the new Mega64 video. Reggie is a pretty fun guy after all! ;) Look them up, you’ll probably not regret it.

I wish I could own every console
I know I at times come of as a Sony-fanboy, but things couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure I do like Sony and what they do, I won’t deny that. But the reason I always talk about Sony and PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 is because that’s what I have, I don’t want to talk about Nintendo or Microsoft. Because I have no means right now, to buy their consoles. And when I think of Nintendo especially I just get sad, because I am missing so many great games that I want to play. Like the new Legend of Zelda: A Link Between World, that is a sequel to my favorite Zelda game of all time.
If I keep thinking about that I can’t play it, I just make myself feel even worse and can’t get rid of that feeling. Same with the Wii U. I really want a Wii U before the next Smash Bros game is release, if that’s not possible I definitely need it before they release X. I don’t have the economy to buy those thing now, but I’ll start saving a few bucks each month. So hopefully in the not to distant future, I can enjoy all consoles.
But I must be completely honest, as of now Microsoft has nothing that interests me. Not even Dead Rising 3, which is about the only thing I could think of being a nice game. And not counting multi-platform games, but I do hope that changes in the future. And when I find that game that will make me buy an Xbox One, there will probably be a ton of games already out there for me. Right now that is also true about Nintendo with 3DS and Wii U, there are almost too many games on those platforms for me to go through.

Which one should I pick? I like them all…
But what should I get when it comes to the Nintendo 3DS? I am actually leaning more towards the 3DS, because I do not care about the 3D-effect at all. I have a hard time seeing it and because of that, it gives me a headache. And the 2DS is so much more comfortable IMO, but it’s not very portable. Which both the 3DS and 3DS XL is… So yeah, I’m going to have a real hard time deciding on what to get. Both console have their advantages, the 3DS models are much nicer. The 2DS looks somewhat like a toy, I won’t deny that. But it’s such a comfy toy, I just wish it was more portable.
What you you pick and why? Hopefully that could help me come to some conclusion.
