Welp, Majora's Mask is up.

I'm assuming Nintendo has fixed the memory card issue?

Alright, I'm off the weekend. I have no date. Elden Ring on the TV, and Majora's Mask on handheld.

Let's rock.

i haven't played the game yet but my advice is to just stop reading tips and tricks and just do stuff and see what happens.

That's true. I've made a save since I like my build but I'll stop worrying about it and just go forward. I can't recall the last time a game has had me laughing out loud.

The early stretch of Earthbound is kind of tough when you just have Ness. I had to grind a bit after Frank was knifing me to death in 2 hits, then again the fight vs. 5 cops I had to grind when their karate chops were doing 48 of my 90 HP. I think I'm getting close to 2nd party member but it reminds me of DQ1 on NES, where you don't have many options besides trading blows until you need a heal and hoping they miss once or twice. Never gotten very far before.

Once you get your second party member and power level them tagging along through the next My Sanctuary location available, you come out with a pretty good power level.

I just generously used rewinds and save states to get through the bullshit fights; I will never grind and you can't make me.

I can imagine playing Earthbound without those when you have the infinite patience of a kid, but I would not play a game like that today.

In games like earthbound or paper Mario or Chrono Trigger, I generally kill every enemy I see unless I'm really low on resources. I don't really think of it as grinding unless I'm going around in circles on purpose to generate more enemy encounters.

XCOM 2 Collection deal is "official" through the eShop now. https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/xcom-2-collection-switch/

You miss out on the Gold Points, but it was only $2.50 worth anyway.

How's the emulation on Majora's Mask? Is it as wonky as OOT was? Or did they end up fully fixing OOT?

Apparently OoT is now fully fixed.

I never really played MM back in the day (or ever, really) so I don't know how accurate the NSO version is.

Nice. Thanks.
I played MM a fair bit back in the day, but not as much as OoT.

Are you a fan of RE4's Mercenary mode, and if so, would you said Raid Mode is better?

Mercenary Mode is a score chase.

Raid Mode in Revelations 2 is more of an action RPG with mini-dungeons of increasing difficulty. The mode's strength is in the modularity of guns and characters. You can make absolutely insane poo poo, and you adjust your level to keep things deadly (if desired). It's somewhat of a grind but everything you do helps, giving money or XP, and characters have different (starting) skills and animations for attacks, many having different costumes. The fact that I got to replay this entire-rear end mode on the Switch for 8 bucks (and, contrary to my last Rev2 question, you don't need to complete the campaign at all to get all the levels) ranks this up there in value with money spent vs time spent. :mmmhmm:
