I Am Going to Need a Bigger Memory Card

As I sit at my desk, drinking my coffee, and looking at future game releases, I realized that I am going to need a much bigger memory card for my 3DS and Vita. It was inevitable that I would run into this problem, considering the amount of downloadable games that are in both respective shops. For the Nintendo 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: Oracles' series will be coming to the eShop. I mentioned these games in a previous post in one of my classic game days. You know I can't just buy one and not the other. Yes, they may be two in the same game, but they still are different. There is also a deal going on with Nintendo that you can download a free game onto your XL if you purchase the new Pokemon game or Luigi's Mansion game. Yeah, I am totally digging that deal. The Playstation Vita is no stranger to downloadable releases. Heck, the Playstation Plus subscription nets you free games once a month, including titles like Gravity Rush and Ninja Gaiden--ended last month--that take up a good amount of space. You can't forget that with the Vita, the only way to play PSP games is to directly download them.

Also thinking about it too, it adds to your convenience. Who wants to lug around a bunch of game cards all the time? I don't always want to carry a suitcase with games in it. So the added convenience of having the game as an app is right there. Really, I just need bigger memory cards to get me through this year. It would be nice if they made bigger memory cards though...32gbs is not enough!

Thursday's Classic: Banjo-Kazooie

Where is that Jinjo?

MAN DO I FEEL OLD. This Nintendo 64 classic was released in June 1998. That's almost 15 years ago. I still recall getting this classic on my 10th birthday and slapping it into my N64. God, did I spend hours playing this and not doing any homework. You ran around as a bear with a bird in your backpack doing open world stuff like collecting notes and solving environmental puzzles. You could also collect Jinjo's located throughout the Banjo-Kazooie universe. As far as I can tell, they don't really do anything special for you but that's okay. Some of us are perfectionist and must collect them all. Anyway, this game was a great alternative for Mario 64. It was open world, puzzle doing, enemy stopping, and crazy. The best way to describe this ridiculous game is by telling you to look into a kaleidoscope and make sense of it all after going to the bar for a few hours. Anyway, you can pick up this fantastic game on Xbox live if you don't already own it.

P.S. This is one of the few games that I will say the younger generation of gamers have missed out on.

This makes a lot of sense

Thursday's Classic: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

I recall opening this box for the first time

It's that time again. I give you a classic game and you go play it for hours on end. What game is in store for this week? A game that was almost as classy as its original counterpart, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Over a decade ago, this game came out in Japan and impressed as much as its parent game. What makes this game so unique? Well, the plot for, one is a more fantastical story. To make it short, you follow the story of a kid who gets sucked into...wait for it...a Final Fantasy game and must return Ivalice back to normal.

I do have to say, this was one of my favorite games to play on the GBA when I was younger. Well, not too young since I was 15, but young enough. I still play this game to this day like its brand new. One thing that definitely stood out was the overall picture of the game. While the first FFT had darker color tones to portray the darker story, this game is the complete opposite. If I had to describe it, the graphics were a whimsical experience.
