E3 2015 Review

With E3 2015 finally behind us, I just wanted to write up a small post about what I was most interested in from the event. Overall for the big three, I think Sony won the show, with many new and innovative titles along with the announcement of some returning fan favorites. Nintendo followed suit, and unfortunately I found nothing of interest from Microsoft. As for individual games themselves, the niche and indie titles stole the show for me with Xseed Games easily having the games I'm most interested in. So now I'll list all the games I am currently keeping an eye on in alphabetical order (I will include trailers if you're curious):

Battleborn - Looks like a crazy fun time + from creator of Borderlands

Cosmic Star Heroine - Zeboyd never fails to deliver! I backed this one on Kickstarter and I can't wait to get my copy!

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Looks incredible, plus Human Revolution was an amazing game.

Disgaea 5 - Gotta love me some sexy devils ;)

Final Fantasy VII remake - Even though I swear by FFVI, I remember staying up all night playing through the reactors at Midgar and loving every moment of it. Can't wait to do it again.

Fire Emblem Fates - More Waifus for me... (plus excellent strategic game-play)

Genei Ibun Roku #FE - Was impressed by the trailer, and can't wait to see more. (Also glad they dropped SMT from the title)

Horizon Zero Dawn - Easily THE game of E3 this year. I love the setting and the Heroine is awesome!

Kingdom Hearts III -Ever since visiting Disney World, I've rekindled my love of Disney, and its made me exited for this game. (Yes, weird reason, I know)

Mario & Luigi Paper Jam - A M&L and Paper Mario crossover, my interest is peaked.

Nitroplus Blasterz - I wanna play with Sonico and Saya and Al-Azif!

Onechanbara Z II - More sexy zombie killing fun.

Persona 4 Dancing all Night - all night baby...

Persona 5 - There is no reason needed to explain the hype train!

Starfox Zero - Reminds me of Starfox 64 in the best way possible. Do a Barrel Roll!!!

Senran Kagura 2 Deep Crimson - Gotta love my bouncy ninja girls!

Senran Kagura Estival Versus - See above ^ (Also Musasaki is mine...)

Shantae Half-Genie Hero - Shantae is love, Shantae is life.

Shenmue 3 - Signed, sealed, delivered! Based Yu Suzuki!!

Star Wars Battlefront - I played the crap out of the two PS2 games in the series, I would love to see where this one goes.

Skulllgirls 2nd Encore - Finally Skullgirls on the Vita!!

Street Fighter V - Next installment of the legendary series.

The Last Guardian - Looks atmospherically impressive; can't wait to see more game-play.

The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel - YES YES YES YES YES YES YES x 1000000

Super Mario Maker - This game speaks out to the inner ROM hacker within me and contains all my childhood.

Yoshi's Wooly World - This game is just adorable. I want the yarn Amiibo so much.

Overall I thought this was a great year for E3, especially for Japanese games, so what were you all interested in?

Happy Birthday Rin!!!! (11/1/2017)

Image
While it may still be Halloween where I live, in Japan today is November 1st which is Rin Hoshizora's Birthday! Rin is the tomboy of the group and she excels at sports, especially hurdling, basketball and, football (soccer). Being athletically fit, she makes an excellent dancer as well. She is very hardworking and full of energy, always leading the group's practice sessions. Unfortunately, she is not very good academically, being labeled as a member of the San Baka or The Three Idiots. When she was little, boys teased her for not dressing like a girl, so she has had a complex about her appearance that she is trying to overcome with the help of her fellow μ's members. She also likes to speak like a cat, ending sentences with nya~, and sometimes even dressing like a cat. She also has a very odd but extremely strong sense of smell. In addition to μ's, Rin is also a part of the sub-unit lily white. Rin's image color is yellow and her blood type is A. Happy Birthday

As the title says, I just recently started playing Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls; Starlight Stage.

Happy Birthday Murasaki!!! (10/26/2017)

Image
As the 26th rolls around once again, It is time to celebrate the birthday of my favorite Senran Kagura character: Murasaki <3 Murasaki is first introduced in Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus and is a 2nd year at Hebijo Academy. She lacks basic social skills and avoids contact with people, to the point that she is the only truant student in the school's history. She mostly stays in her room reading online novels, playing video games, or watching anime with her stuffed bear Bebeby. She has a very cynical outlook on life, and tends to interpret everything negatively. In battle Murasaki uses large shurikens that are woven in her hair as well as emit waves of energy due to her 'Root of Calamity' ability. She also has the strange ability to sniff information about another person's inner character. Lastly, she also sports the largest chest in the series at 105 cm. I first fell in love with her, after finishing her backstory in Shinovi Versus (Play the game, it's real
