The main core of the original Ocarina of Time has been retained with the same story being told as well as the core Zelda mechanics.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure
Overview: A 3D platformer which has you (and a couple of friends) going through levels in multiple worlds overcoming obstacles, enemies, and challenges to try to prevent a villain from destroying their world into a scary place. There are boss fights that pop up throughout the adventure as well as challenge stages which are completely different than a typical platforming world which can be quite difficult. The main course of the game, though, is customization. Throughout the…

Heavenly Bodies
Overview: Games that rely heavily on physics can always be a bad sign the game is going to be shallow. What if you still had the physics, but took away all of the gravity? What you get is Heavenly Bodies and it’s an awesome game. The controls are also a sticking point because each of the four face buttons corresponding to a limb. With there being no gravity, moving around is quite the task as there are…

Magical Tetris Challenge
Overview: Something magical has happened in the world of Goofy and his pals and it’s kind of bonkers. A magical stone from outer space that Goofy just wants to put on his tractor but the bad guys won’t let him. In order to progress the stage you have to complete a round of Tetris and beat up on his friends or enemies. You’ll get weird pieces depending on whether your opponent got multiple line clear combos and…

Cruis’n USA
Overview: A little checkpoint to checkpoint racing game, Cruis’n USA takes you through 14 stages as you try to be the first person to reach the White House. You’ll go through many California stages and, while driving in the Grand Canyon, will pass Mount Rushmore and end up in Iowa. It’s a simple game that has a pretty bad history with me. Visuals: The game’s visuals are weird. As I said, it’s a very simple game and…

WWF Super Wrestlemania
Overview: WWF Super Wrestlemania is a game I have a lot of reverence for. It introduced me to a lot of what I associated with wrestling when I was a kid and what I thought a good wrestling game was to be. It’s basically a 2D side scrolling button mashing game where you select your fighter and battle the other in a fight to the end. Whoever’s health gets to zero is the loser and gets pinned…

Actraiser
Overview: A god game where you direct people to live happy lives all the while ridding the lands of monsters who infest said land. You can do this in a few ways: direct your peoples to destroy nests/lairs, have your Cherub shoot arrows into the flying ones, cause miracles to destroy areas, or command a humanoid statue to complete stages and a boss. This will get rid of the enemies for good. Most of the game is…

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Overview: What fans had been clamoring for since the release of “Cel-da”, Twilight Princess adds realism to the Legend of Zelda franchise. You take control of farmer Link as he is going through his daily mundane life when all of a sudden people die while others get kidnapped. All the while this is happening, our boy gets turned into a wolf. But I get ahead of myself, you have to do a shitload of chores at the…

Pragmata
Overview: Some people call this game a Daughter Simulator and I do not agree. Pragmata is a game with our protagonist, Hugh Williams, going through a destroyed lunar colony using your robot pragmata friend, Diana, in hacking all sorts of robots and machinery to find out why it was destroyed. Diana is a little girl [robot] who has no concept of the human world so you’ll be explaining all sorts of things which seem trivial to us. …

Batman Returns
Overview: A side scrolling beat-em up Batman game based off of the Batman Returns movie. You’ll take control of Batman as he tries to thwart the thugs of Gotham City. If you’ve seen the movie, you know what kind of enemies I’m talking about and it seems like everyone is accounted for. Batman has his usual toys but I couldn’t figure out how to use them. Visuals: I have to hand it to Konami, they know how…

Batman: The Video Game
Overview: I really don’t think this is a Batman game. Or at least I don’t think it started out as one. Regardless, you take control of the Caped Crusader as he goes through Axis Chemicals defeating all sorts of bad guys and machinery. You get an assortment of powerups to help you defeat them and the drops are very generous. Along the way you’ll also have to do some pretty basic platforming and having to actually utilize…

Tales of Arise
Overview: To be honest, I can’t really explain Tales of Arise. I think it’s an action RPG but you’re not really doing much action nor are you doing much role playing. It’s more akin to a third person action game. Either way, you control Alphen who is a masked man from a different country who has amnesia. As you (he) progress through the story you assemble a group of compatriots of all nationalities and start to regain…
