rainwatersparkAw man, I want to play Yoshi's Woolly World so badly! But I'm going to have to wait until winter break...and fight the urge...to watch the whole thing on Youtube...before then......
I'm also excited for Xenoblade Chronicles X, as always. I've been waffling over whether or not to get the special edition...an art book is one of the only things that would actually make me interested in a special edition (the other things being necessary accessories, i.e. the Skyward Sword special edition, or cute yarn amiibos), but, ehh...$90 is kind of pushing my limit as to how much I'll spend on a single game, special edition or no. (It's a psychological thing.)
I've also been thinking about tracking down a copy of Super Mario Sunshine. I borrowed the game from a friend once, played it for a while, and eventually quit out of frustration, but I kind of want to take another shot at the game.
Super Mario Maker wasn't on my radar at all until I started to watch Youtube videos of it recently—partly because I generally have less interest in 2D Mario games than 3D ones, and partly because I'm not at all a nostalgia junkie (I grew up with the N64, not the NES or SNES), so the retro style doesn't really mean anything to me. But man, after watching some of those videos, I'm hooked! I think I'll wait to see if Nintendo releases any (free?) DLC for it, since the lack of more level themes (i.e. snow, desert, jungle, beach...) and power-ups (no love for the ice flower??) is a serious drawback for me, but if Nintendo does expand what's available in Super Mario Maker I might seriously consider getting this game. (Though I'd probably stick to the New Super Mario Bros. U art/graphic style. So not a nostalgia junkie!)
I've been thinking of getting some kind of 3DS game to tide me over for the semester, but man, why the heck are the 3DS Professor Layton games so expensive??? D:
