WHAAAAAAAAAA?!!!! HO-MY GAAAAAAAWD!!! AWESOOOOOME!!!!!

I'm a big fan of HD remakes - all for it. But w/ the Switch - these Wii U games are just ports. They're already 'HD' on Wii U. 'Ey - dat 'Resident Evil HD remake' of the Gamecube version that every single system got - 'cept the originating system / company - c'mon! New ports to grace a 'Nintendo' console, ever - then, we're talkin'! Disney Afternoon HD Collection...? C'mon, Nintendo! HD Grim Fandango, HD Day of the Tentacle....HD Monkey Island! Where's 'Dead Rising'? Stuff that Nintendo has no reason to never have let that stuff see the light of day - on their system...would be kick-ass. They did Skyrim n' Doom - bring more of those 'new to Nintendo' ports over...don't take up 'hot new release' slots w/ that 'member the stuff that made Wii U great? Oh, you do? Everyone, else - here's why Wii U was awesome.' ports. Yes, Nintendo-newbs get to see what made Wii U great - and have die-hards buy it again, but to folks like me - that shit's still warm n' sitting on my shelf. C'mon, Nintendo - that stuff should be filler, for dry spells...not heralded 'new Switch content'. Welcome to aaaaall that - that is Nintendo. BONUS: Zelda is the princess, not the green guy...and 'Star Fox' is the name of the team. LOL!!!!

Landing on dvd / blu in exclusive editions on March 27 , 2018

Coming to dvd / blu ray on March 13, 2018 Steelbook artwork -

Fight Club. Without spoiling nothing - it's about your regular 'modern' everyday shlub, who's 'house burns down' along w/ all his belongings...and how he copes w/ 'losing everything'. A cerebral film - highly recommended if you dig existential pieces.

Yeah - they totally showed their hand here. Tons of good games on Wii U...all totally gonna be ported. I mean, porting these games over to Switch makes total sense - but the eventual Wind Waker HD Switch, Twilight Princess HD Switch, Pikmin 3 Switch - are gonna be taking up precious slots for real new content. LOL - if you thought Wii U had dryspells and had anxiously devoured the trickled games - make peace w/ those same trickled games coming back - to be the heralded 'gems' on Switch. I ain't paying another $60 to play as Funky Kong...or as 'BotW Link' in Hyrule Warriors. LOL - these aren't remakes of GC or Wii games - these games are pretty damn recent - and still look great! Wii U was a very underrated machine. Again, advantage if you already invested in Wii U - and have no interest in playing Mario Kart on a train. Don't wanna see Wii U greats taking up a chunk of the Switch library / future 'new release' slots...but, I totally 'get it'. Still - 'New console! New games!' Jables - Hyrule Warriors is essential 'ownage' if you don't already own it and have a Switch...'specially if you're into DW and have an interest in LOZ. Smash Bros was optimized for a Gamecube controller - every Smash sequel let's you play w/ a Gamecube controller. Switch recently added Gamecube controller support - Gamecube controller doesn't have 2 sets of bumpers - so it has a couple of redundant buttons in modern controllers. (Every Smash version lets you fully customize button-placement) Gamecube controller. Gamecube controller? Gamecube controller...

WOW - but, I don't plan on ever taking my Switch on-the-go... I already have this on Wii U - w/ all the DLC. Looks the Wii U is negating - yet another - 'AAA' Switch title. It's the same w/ Mario Kart...you're at an advantage if you already own this stuff. LOL - I'd say it feels rewarding. Like an investment paying off. (I love my Wii U) Like, hey - BotW didn't cost me $400 - just $60...didn't need a new system to play. I already have a Wii U...that I use. Feels that way w/ these ports. If Mario Maker gets ported - it's gotta be a monumental upgrade. I mean, these ports 'sell' is play 'anywhere...anytime'. I already own it - I'm going to play on my couch. Sell me.

I hadn't ever seen 'Castle in the Sky' either, till last night. It was my first time... ...LOL!!! Surprised to learn it pre-dates Totoro! W/out spoilin' nuthin' - it's super 80s - pretty charming. A lot to appreciate. Ponyo?! Never? Oh, man - for your first time, you gotta do that on blu. LOL!!! (wipes tears) 'Ey - just having the Ghibli flicks - part of anyone's collection - (if you can find 'em on the cheap) - totally worth it. Top-notch stuff. My brain was so used to watchin' 'em on DVD - for yeeears. Seeing 'em again on blu? The way to go.

^ Cooool. I'm coincidentally binging on Ghibli stuff. We did 'Castle in the Sky' last night. We knocked out a ton of 'blu ray upgrades' during Black Friday - including a bunch of Ghibli on blu for $11 bucks a pop. We're currently on a mission to get all there is - 'Howl's Moving Castle' (blu upgrade) is already on it's way.

My face hurts so much - LOL!!!!!

Just finished it! Really dug it. It all worked for me. My only criticism - I wish there was more. It's 2D Metroid - plain n' simple - w/ purtier graphix. A Super Metroid remake like this would be most welcome and most awesome. Highly recommended if you like 2D Metroid. Get on it.

Yes, 'Certified Fresh' seems to be the go-to spin in response to audiences / the internet.

LOL - I must've watched it wrong. I avoided all sorts of spoilers n' stuff till I saw it - seeing Mark Hamill complain at press junkets for months is all new to me. I didn't like Homecoming, Jurassic World...Guardians 2...those are also critically acclaimed successes. My issues w/ those movies have nothing to do w/ expectations - other than, 'I expect this shit to be 'good'! My issues aren't fan-theories being popped or whatever - I'm not angry because they gave characters 'real depth'. It was...bad. Reminds me how people hated 'Man of Steel' 'cuz they got the Superman character wrong. ALTHOUGH - despite that legit complaint - it's a good movie. I've heard someone say "it's a good sci-fi flick - but a bad Superman flick." This? Hey - if you laughed even once during the movie - I'm glad you enjoyed it. It deserves it's critical acclaim and success and I hope they make 20 more just like it.

I'm SOOO curious the spin Disney is going to put on this film. "It's just hardcore fans who can never be pleased." or "It's just internet haters." I don't think they can afford to ever admit it's even remotely flawed in any way shape or form. I mean, imagine Disney ever saying 'we understand sum fans were disappointed'. Pretty sure this movie's issues aren't ever going to be directly addressed - it's all ever going to be typical Hollywood PR of 'it's divisive - because it's so brilliant.' 'Certified Fresh' IS going to be on the box - just like the Ghostbusters Reboot. The routine of selling tripe w/ a smile is eventually gonna affect people's view of the routinely piled SW toys on shelves - every year - along w/ the yearly pimp-slap of 'be a part of the 'phenomenon' and 'legacy'. 'Star Wars' totally has the potential of just being a chore people have to deal with...annually. They need a hiatus after this Trilogy and rethink the entire thing. It's quite possible they've already broke it - w/ a particular part of their 'target audience / 'fanbase'. (shrugs) Sum just want an hour and a half of entertainment - good or bad...as long as it's big n' loud - fuck it. Again, I can't wait to see Disney's all-time spin on this 'divisiveness' - as this film has to be sold as a masterpiece on every front from here on out...forever. What a horrible fate.
