I’ll get Super Smashed Dudes For 3DO eventually, don’t have WiiU blah blah etc. Also will get Theatrythym eventually ’cause I love the music and it’s fun and so on and so forth. In the meantime I’ve been playing Shin Megami Tensei IV, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, Persona 4, and helping my friend with Donkey Kong Country Returns. Actually, I only want to play SMT games until Persona Q comes out, so Super Smoosh Babes For New VirtualBoyU will have to wait until forever, though Theatrythym’s curtain call is quite more compelling.

“I have only recently discovered may be more clever than it is clumsy (it’s still clumsy).

Super Smash Bros. 4: Nintendo 3DS.
Super Smash Bros. 4: Nintendo Wii U.”

That is drawing a pretty long bow. I doubt Nintendo gave it any thought – if they did, then you can bet they would have used the number ‘4’ in the title, because Nintendo is classy like that.

@Mel Nope! You’re assuming they’re not pronounced as a single word. But they are! ;)

I still recall how much of a pain it was to jump up giant Oogie Boogie… *shudder*

@Mel – Yes. I refuse to type them as such.

@Wolfe – I love many Disney properties, but what I find about Kingdom Hearts is that it does little more than show their likeness, not really bringing along tone or theme or even character along for the ride. My copy of Hyrule Warriors is late on account of me being an uncategorized journalist, but I’m excited for what I expect it to be: competently made button-mashing fan service.

@SN – I used to feel that way too, but after this recent playthrough, I’m not sure I even have a favourite entry any more.

Yah, platforming in KH is a bad time. It’s still my favourite entry in a flawed series though.

I have one major problem with Kingdom Hearts and it’s simply that I don’t care for Disney properties. The Square parts almost seem to be parody Final Fantasy fare, but I enjoy the combat and absurd duels enough to have played and enjoyed 2 to completion.

Hyrule Warriors looks fun. I haven’t played a Musou game since Dynasty Warriors 3, but I’d be willing to give HW a shot. If I owned a Wii U that is, which is out of the question for the foreseeable future.

Pedantic response:

But that would be an example of an initialism, not an acronym!

I prefer to pronounce them as acronyms.

Super Smash Bros. F N 3DS
Super Smash Bros. F N Wii U.

See?

Yeah, guys. Don’t do a me and comment on NEARLY EVERY POST, YOU BIG JERK ETHOS I HATE YOU ;_;

OH, oh and while I’m at it it’s Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, that’s the actual name of the game which I have only recently discovered may be more clever than it is clumsy (it’s still clumsy).

Super Smash Bros. 4: Nintendo 3DS.
Super Smash Bros. 4: Nintendo Wii U.

See?

As for what I’m playing, I actually turned on the original Dark Souls again…again! So much better than DS2.
