I've been playing Smash Bros games since I was little. When the family got together during holidays we'd always set up a tournament. I was always a big fan of Kirby since I played the Kirby games on my DSI. Kirby is still one of the most important characters in Smash Ultimate, especially at the beginning of the story. It's crazy to see how much he's evolved through time. Smash Ultimate has a to of characters and even characters from games that you would never imagine having characters participate in this game. Characters like Joker from Person would be unthinkable to be in Smash in the past but now it's a reality! Something I love about Smash Ultimate is just how easy it is to play with your friends. The online features cost a little extra but they're definitely worth it. There's even an app created specifically to voice chat online, although that could use some work. Before I got Smash Ultimate it had been around a year since I'd played Smash but this game got me invested again. Even friends the I meet over the internet can play the game with me if they have it. These are just a few reasons I love this game, it made me love Smash Bros again because of it!

A big component of the games I like to play are how they look. I'm someone who loves art so it usually ends up being a bigger thing to me than it is to a lot of people. well, a game that I've been playing that is just gorgeous is the Newest Legend of Zelda game: Breath of the Wild. The entire game is art, the graphics, the soundtrack, the style. The calm music that plays throughout the game and the piano that plays when you extract data from a shrine. Everything just fits. The art and the art style of the game is just beautiful, the way the animation looks and flows leaves me in awe even after I've played for more than 15 hours. I think that a lot of games for the switch tend to have good graphics but this one surpasses them all. Everything in the game is designed to be beautiful, even the ugly monsters are designed so well that it's hard to call them ugly. The actual game play even looks just as good as the cut scenes do which is saying something. I also like that Zelda is genuinely a strong character in this game instead of just acting out the helpless princess that needs saving trope. I haven't even gotten that far in the game for how long I've spent on it because there's just a lot to do. There's shrines to go to, monsters to kill, and of course the main villain Ganon to defeat. The game lets you pretty much just go wherever you want but there are quests that eventually lead up to fighting Ganon but for right now I'm pretty much just exploring. All of the people in the game have personality with funny designs and some people being nice but some people being mean. It's currently my favorite game for the Nintendo Switch and I can't wait to play more.
Recently, I got a Nintendo Switch for my birthday. On my switch I also got Mario Odyssey which has turned out to be a great game and here's why...The graphics in Mario Odyssey are amazing. When I first got the game I would walk around the levels and just admire how beautiful the game was. When graphics for a game are that good, it makes you feel like you're actually in the game while you're playing. It's crazy. One level where I really liked the way things looked was the desert level. The way that the sand gets kicked up when you run and just the overall atmosphere of it is just so intricate. The water level was really cool too and the way the graphics looked really brought all the sea creatures to life.
Everyone knows what Wii Sports is, if you had a Wii growing up it was a game you were sure to have. It had many sports all packed into one game that you could play with your friends and family, and it made up a lot of people's childhoods. Even if playing Wii Sports doesn't count as exercising, there's still a lot it teaches the kids who play it about sports. A lot of what I know about baseball is stuff that I learned from sports video games like Wii Sports, because it really does help you learn the rules to the game. Wii Sports can actually help get people into sports in real life too, if you really like a certain sport in the game then you might be inspired to try it in real life too. It's true you might not be good at it in real life but at least it inspired you to give it a try. |
