Let us know what you think.
Nintendo has announced the continuation in a series that started in 1984 known as Punch-Out!! for the Wii. Once upon a time we all got to pop coins into Punch-Out!!, later we were able to power on our NES and play Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! or, if you’re younger, the version of Punch-Out!! with Mr. Dream (since Tyson’s contract expired with Nintendo and he wasn’t the champion anymore).
The place to be, this week, is Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) as Popcap’s now released Feeding Frenzy 2 on the 360 platform. Xbox Live Arcade has been the go to place for awesome new content brought in high definition on both shrink wrapped box games along with classic casual titles.
Hi guys.
As always: thank you very much for the episode 🙂
I am playing not that much at the moment, but some rounds of Magic the Gathering Arena and some rounds of WoW are always there 🙂 I also started playing Itorah, which is a very nice Metroidvania game.
Regarding your topics:
Walking Simulators: I really like those games. For me games like “Life is strange” , “Journey”, “Heavy Rain” or “Detroid become human” were awesome and i played all of them. Most of them have a fantastic atmosphere, good story, awesome music and i did not get bored or it feels repetitive.
Fifa:
I cant describe how less i care about that 😀
I never played any Fifa since i had one about 20 years ago for the PS1. The best soccer game of all time still is “World Cup” for NES oder GameBoy 🙂
Starfield:
It seems that i am the only person who is not hyped for that game … nearly all my friends are waiting for it since it was announced.
All the other topics:
Cant say anything useful or interesting about them… sorry 🙂
Keep healthy and keep on with the good work guys.
Greetings from germany,
Ralf
I’m hoping to see Starfield footage at the Microsoft/Bethesda show in June, even if the game is delayed.
