Ain't nothin' mo' manly than a pink dude named Kirby fighting a fat, retarded penguin to get a Star Rod to the fountain of dreams. Kirby's Adventure, B****es!
Kirby only exists as a 3DS puzzle to me. I've never played any of these games. I think it has something to do with the game culture.. being here dominated with Sony games and I'm assuming in your area, being dominated with Nintendo games..
Interesting, I never really thought about geography having an impact on what games you grow up with. Is it much more common for kids to have Sony consoles in Asia do you think then?
I was playing San Andreas at someone's house a couple of weeks ago, I forgot how insanely fun it is compared to IV or V, so as soon as I got home a few days ago I installed it again and loaded up a bunch of mods. Crazy fun!
During the 90s, Nintendo reign over Asia.. until Sony released PS1. Haha! These 2 are Asian brands.
Last Sunday, I told my elder brother who loves playing Splinter Cell about NatureForever who loves playing Kirby, various Mario spin-offs, and Legend of Zelda. I tried to sell him the idea that these games are popular and a lot of modern gamers still play these. My brother is quite puzzled by it. He told me he would never play any of those. As for me, I probably play Legend of Zelda..
I also observed that Bravely Default (Nintendo 3DS) which I'm currently fond of is made my Square-Enix. A computer game brand famous in Sony PlayStation.
Last weekend, I learn a new gamer's principle from no other than the gaming expert himself, NatureForever. We talked about gaming\social life balance. I never knew this principle actually existed. LOL!
