Things I’ve been playing recently
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (3DS)
I completed it, sure. But then Capcom went and released a DLC case for it this week. So I had no choice but to buy it and play it. I’m not far in yet, as I’m still on the first day of investigation, but it’s awesome. And it has my new favourite character – Marlon Rimes. Who is a sort of pirate marine zookeeper rapper. Oh yes.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)
I have to stop playing this soon. I don’t want to, but there are too many games. I’m mainly just chatting to animals and buying all the things in the shop each day now. Thing is, it’s Christmas in Animal Crossingland soon, and that’s going to be special, right?
Wii Sports Club (Wii U)
I managed a high score of 201, but I got much higher than that the other week and it isn’t listed any more for some reason. Rubbish!
Luigi’s Mansion 2 (3DS)
I’m finally past the Clock Factory Mansion levels, and even past the snowy mine levels after that (which for some reason was two missions shorter). I’m now onto what I suspect, according to the map and the fact I’ve only one piece of Dark Moon left, is the final mansion. Wooo!
PixelJunk Monsters (PS3): COMPLETED!
Last time I completed a PS3 game, I asked “Now, what do I spend my remaining £3.80-ish on?”. Well, here’s the answer – PixelJunk Monsters. And, since it was really cheap, I got Hungry Giraffe too. And still have 22p left for Sony to steal.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been playing Monsters off and on. Usually one level at a time, and usually this takes about 20-30 minutes. And you know what? It’s the best Tower Defence game I’ve ever played. I don’t know what makes it the best, but it’s really simple, I like the slightly wonky graphical style, and it’s nice to have a Tower Defence game with a definite end.
There’s one level I simply can’t do (you only have four trees – with each tree a starting point for a tower) so constantly have to sell and buy towers to fit the incoming swarms. No matter how hard I try, I can’t do it. Not that it matters, as there’s more than one route to the end on the game map, and I opened up all the big stone gate things without it.
Not much else to say, really. It’s just very nice. And yes, I am 5 or 6 years late to the party as that’s how old it is. Tch.
Trip World (3DS): COMPLETED!
On my 3DS home screen, the first “page” of icons is set to be “currently playing, and not yet completed games”. And some other things like Streetpass thingy and the Nintendo Video app. But mainly games I’ve not completed. Completed titles (and games I’ve given up on, demos, other apps, and stuff) are squirrelled away on other pages.
Trip World has sat on page one for Far Too Long Now. More than 18 months, in fact. Unplayed because I got to the boss at the end of World 3 and he was impossible. I died many times. I gave up, but never totally actually gave up or I’d have moved the game to Gave Up Page on the home screen.
For no reason other than it suddenly annoyed me that this was the only Game Boy game on the 3DS Virtual Console I’ve bought but not finished, I decided to try again. And you know what? Five attempts and he was beaten. Pretty easy. I was angry with myself for not doing it before.
The rest of the game was really rather simple. Even the end boss caused me no trouble one I realised you could stand on his head and you couldn’t be hit. And now it’s done and I’ll probably never play it again.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies (3DS): COMPLETED!
That final case was all over the place. Not least when the real villain was revealed, and then that person was really revealed. Twists and turns everywhere, which pretty much nobody being quite what I expected.
And that’s it! More than 23 hours, making it the longest Phoenix Wright game by around 5 hours. Not bad considering this one is more streamlined than the others. But it’s not over yet! Capcom announced a DLC extra chapter this week, and that’s due in a couple of weeks time, so there’ll be more Wright very soon. He’s been gone too long. Tooooo long.
