I was anticipating Bomb Rush Cyberfunk ever since it's first reveal. I played a lot of lethal league way back when, so I knew about Team Reptile and the kind of work they did so it was really cool to see them attempting to make a Jet Set Radio esque game.

I like it when indie game devs try to make games that try to cater to something that's been neglected by other game devs and that fans would appreciate having, especially when it's so obvious. it's so interesting to see how a game ends up being when it's trying to be in the same spirit of another game.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was a very nice game to play. The length of the game felt just right. Great music! Felt really good riding around chaining combos and keeping the combo going. Everything was paced really well and it all worked together pretty nicely.

The story kept me engaged in the game. For what the game is, I think without the story, the game would have felt kinda empty so I appreciate them putting a story into the game. I like all the characters and the mood they were going for so it was cool!

There were a lot of moments in the game where the music and the gameplay would just sync together, and you just feel pumped up playing the game so I really enjoyed that as well!

This was one of those kinds of video game releases where I could really tell that it was going to be good and I'm happy that it truly was! I absolutely look forward to seeing what future game releases Team Reptile could be making.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a fun game to just chill out and play!

So I've been playing street fighter 6 and I'm really enjoying it!

I've never really been able to get into an actual street fighter game until now. Back then I played street fighter 3 online edition for PS3 and in that game the only people you could fight against were pros most of the time and the ps3 controller was a little hard on the hands for that game. I also had super street fighter 4 and the reason I couldn't really get into that was at the time my internet was not the best for online games like that so rarely did I ever get to play online multiplayer. Way too laggy! I played plenty of other fighting games as time went on and technology got better. But street fighter became something I never really revisited too often.

Then street fighter 5 released. I remember getting it day 1 and thinking that this was going to be the point at which I got back into street fighter. At first everything was fine, but then it all started to go south real quick. Apparently there was a wacom tablet driver issue with the game and that had an affect on sf5's online multiplayer so every time I would play online in that game it would randomly disconnect or crash. I don't think I ever figured out if there was a solution to that issue for the game but I wasn't about to go and uninstall all the wacom stuff just for one game so after that the game petered out for me and that was about it for street fighter.

After seeing all that there was going on with street fighter 6 and knowing that these days I have good tech and a good internet connection, I knew I could trust getting street fighter 6 on release. The game is pretty great and I can actually play a lot of the characters in the game without feeling too overwhelmed! The online multiplayer works really well too!

Fighting games are one of my all-time favorite kinds of games to play so it's a wonderful feeling when a new fighting game is good and many people are playing it!

I recently read that interview Toby Fox did with Kikiyama.

I thought it was a clever way for them to communicate with one another since Kikiyama is secretive. It was just very nice to see that Kikiyama was willing to do that.

It was cool to read that Kikiyama had played LSD Dream Emulator. Even if something seems obvious you still don't really know if a person has interacted with something unless they themselves confirm it.

Even if Kikiyama isn't actively sharing things with the public anymore it is nice to see that they are doing well.

Since it is Mario Day I felt like I would take this opportunity to talk about my experience with Super Mario.

Mario is a franchise very near and dear to me as I've grown up with it like many others.

My first mario game ever I believe was Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for the Game Boy Color. I distinctly remember being captivated by the cover art for the game which probably factored into me wanting it since I was just a little kid at the time and didn’t even know anything about mario. I played it a lot and really enjoyed all the little extras in the game. I remember always using the calendar feature in the game to mark special occasions.

After that eventually I got a Nintendo 64 and super mario 64 later down the line. Mario 64 was always kind of a weird one for me. I remember playing little demos of the game in like Target and that was where I really played a 3D game for the first time. I remember one time I ran over to the little n64 kiosk thing and I kid you not, mario 64 was running on it BUT it was at the infinite stairs part of the game and I didn’t know that was how it worked so I literally stood there holding up on the control stick running up the stairs and looking over at my family as they were shopping hoping to play at least a little bit of mario 64 before having to run back over to them and it ended with me just having to stop and go back to shopping with them because the stairs just kept going. I always remember that along with other bits and pieces of mario 64 being seen in shops and stuff but I eventually did end up buying the game and owning it for myself. The game really did feel kind of mysterious the whole time I was playing it.

Gamecube came out and I remember seeing and getting Super mario sunshine out from the glass case it was behind. The gamecube I got was the black one that had the Zelda collector's edition bundled with it for those curious. Sunshine is the one I consider to be my favorite out of the 3d titles. I remember being so enticed by the visuals, especially the water, in the game and really liking the overall atmosphere of the game. Fludd was cool and I enjoyed just being able to talk to all the npcs and thought it was cool that there was voice acting. Also all the challenge rooms without fludd and a lot of the levels were just really memorable.

I had a game boy advance and I think the only mario game I had on it was Super Mario Bros. 3, and I had the game boy player for the gamecube so I played on that as well. I enjoy playing Mario 3 since it is pretty close to world. I had a nintendo ds and that is where I played my first mario kart game, Mario Kart DS. I played A LOT of mario kart ds because it was my first sort of online multiplayer game since it had the nintendo wifi in it. I also had an action replay for my ds so I used that with mario kart ds a lot of the time too. I also played partners in time and bowser's inside story. All the mario rpgs in general are all really memorable to me, just great experiences overall! New super mario brothers and mario 64 ds were also games I used action replay on.

I remember renting paper mario but never actually owning it on the nintendo 64, so when the wii happened the virtual console was a good place to get a lot of the games I had missed out on. I played a lot of paper mario and paper mario TTYD and consider them to be very special games to me. Mario RPG was another game I got through the wii’s virtual console and that game was a pretty cool experience. I got mario world and thought it was just a very comfy game to play through. The virtual console in general was just a great thing to have in those times!

Super Mario Galaxy was considered sort of the big one for me as I did get all the stars with both mario and luigi. I remember seeing the visuals to that game and thinking about how HD the game looked. The wii remote and nunchuck are nice because your hands are kinda free to move around so playing galaxy was just another comfortable experience. When galaxy 2 was released, I remember doing that final challenge level where you can only get hit once and beating that. 

Mario 3d land was a nice game to have on the 3ds because it was sort of just a mini 3d mario game. Mario 3d world on wii u felt like a larger version of that and I remember enjoying that one more over 3d land. It was also cool to be able to play as the other characters besides mario.

Mario maker was a very cool game to have and I remember making a handful of levels in that game. Mario world rom hacks were something I had known about so to have mario maker and be able to actually make your own levels in the various styles really was such a cool thing. The 100 Mario Challenge was a good way to just play the game but I think making the levels was something that stood out to me a lot more.

I have many of the mario sports games across all the different consoles. All of which I find very enjoyable to play. Tennis and golf being ones I played probably the most. Mario sports mix for the wii was another one I played a lot of because of the online multiplayer. I remember always picking cactuar and winning many matches because of how fast you went and the needles!

I had a handful of the mario party games, I had mario party 3 and remember playing that one many times, going into that little library playing the minigames and playing that duel mode with the different partners you could have. Mario party 6 is another one I remember a lot of because I had the gamecube microphone. 

Mario Kart Wii was very fun. I used the wii wheel and was impressed with how well it actually worked. I remember Mario kart wii being one of the only online multiplayer games I could really play because at the time the internet was a little on the slow side and MKwii always worked online no matter how the internet was. These days I still play mario kart wii from time to time with CTGP and such because mario kart wii is my favorite out of all of them!

All in all, Super Mario is a wonderful video game franchise that I greatly enjoy and appreciate!

Hey I just made an account on here so that's why I uploaded a bunch of my art all at once 😊
