Since the last entry I re-downloaded "N+" (more on that in another entry. And I waded through a couple more levels of "Super Smash Bros. Brawl"'s Subspace Emissary.
Waded through.
I like it for nostalgia. I don't like it for gameplay. Is there anyone who feels differently? I enjoy bringing "Fire Emblem" heroes Ike and Marth into a team-up with Metaknight to fight... puppets? I do wish they were fighting enemies I also had nostalgia for. Anything but puppets, really. But it never gets old arming them with a "Donkey Kong" hammer or a "Metroid" screw attack.
I enjoy the Subspace Emissary until I think about what I'm doing: playing my favorite characters in something other than their best games. It's like wearing your favorite sweater to the beach or bringing a good book to a rollercoaster. Why am I doing this again?
But I still haven't gotten to Sonic and Snake, and I'm eager to have them team-up. I need to see that. So I will press on.
Next: I will press on. And I will face the likely disappointment of having no new handheld games to bring with me on my Sunday flight to E3.
