for some reason the wii section of my site is barren despite cursed mountain being the very first post on there, so I'm rectifying that now with an overview of boom blox! the game is daunting in its breadth, and it's built on a very solid physics system and set of interactables. link below!

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Glad I posted this when I did I suppose

it looks bad

i know it's annoying but if you could share my latest essay on shadow of the colossus in whatever other communities you're in, it'd be a huge help! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECje...

My experience with Alelte is more limited than I’d like it to be, but GG Aleste 3 is one of the coolest games ever made, full stop. It’s not every day you see a hardware-authentic retro throwback game that *so* definitively serves as a feather in the cap for an entire console

Another one I’ve never played so I can’t comment on all the stuff people have complained about over the years (namely the gameplay and story) but the visuals always pushed me away more than anything - I’m softer on Gen 7 visuals than most but that game is ugly to me in a very Gen 7 sorta way lol

Never played this one! Seems like the general consensus is that it’s horribly messy from an art and design perspective but it seems really really cool and singular, something I’d really like to cross off sooner than later

Artistically garish in all ways that have already been pointed out but the ever-present feel of juggling character and aiming control between thumbs and their respective half of the touch screen is something I’m still in love with. Haven’t had an Apple Arcade sub in a min but I would like to go back

Far from my favorite Sonic game to actually PLAY, but not a total creative misfire. Sonic never quite got out of the “fucking around” phase of 3D game design but on the whole I generally find the early 2000’s to be way more in line with the series identity than what released in the 10’s or 20’s

Someone's gotta do it, right? Just in time for its 10th anniversary, I went back and replayed Star Fox Zero for the first time in a few years and I'm happy to report it holds up even better than I remembered. You can read my thoughts on it below! lukegirard.neocities.org/posts/star-f...

Thanks for 10k 💗💗💗

Yeah Star Fox Zero still kicks ass

It's so crazy that Nintendo used to make good games

Letterbox is the best social media app because it’s 99% finding cool new movies from friends and 1% like a Free Willy Stan gets mad at you

The recent discussion around RE Requiem has made write a little rant on the stun systems in the three Leon RE games and what they accomplish for the skill ceiling, while trying to clear up some misconceptions on how RE4R's stun system really worked. Enjoy! rexzakel.wordpress.com/2026/03/14/r...

Sneaky bump 🥷

After 4 years, I'm finally able to pinpoint my thoughts on Ninja Gaiden Black! A lot of work went into this, and after ages of fighting with myself to put something together, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Shares and comments are appreciated <3 lukegirard.neocities.org/posts/ngb-an...

kiwami 3 has already came and went, potentially sinking RGG in the process... we won't know until after STH comes out, but in the meantime I wanted to reflect on the original yakuza 3, and how much the series has lost some of its flavor since it came out. link below!

Hope everyone effected can easily find new work but at the same time:

Ninja Gaiden 2 is such a peculiar game - trashy, occasionally amateurish, and frighteningly engaging in equal measure. One of the most captivating games I’ve played in a very long time, been spending the past few weeks trying to wrap my head around its quirks and I just can’t get enough
