Balloon Fight

I'm so glad my 3DS is back from Nintendo! The L button got busted during an online Mario Kart 7 match right when my Ambassador Games arrived back in December and I find it semi-frustrating to defeat online opponents with items using X instead of L (read: personal preferences = comfort zone). I've missed playing two of the GBA games offered, Metroid Fusion and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, since a friend has had them since '05. Still waitin' on those!

Now my Metroid and Fire Emblem collection is  complete! Now announce an international release of that new 3DS Fire Emblem...

Of course, earlier this week my PS3 decided to die on me right as I was finishing the Final Fantasy XIII-2 demo (which I was thoroughly enjoying), so I'm without a convenient entertainment hub for Hulu Plus, Netflix and my first -technically second- Final Fantasy IX playthrough. I had put my first time off back in '10 around the end of disc 3 when other new game had arrived and I'd forgotten how much fun and charming IX is and was quite eager to finish it before getting to XIII (lost track of time when Christmas rolled around - came and went far too quickly this year, methinks).

But now my PS3 has my disc 3 hostage, dammit!! Looks like I'll only have time to go through XIII again when my system gets back for "internal damage repairs" and I assume I'm one of the few 1% (semi-toopical!) who're lucky enough to essentially get screwed by YLOD'd (Yellow Light of Death-ed). I had wanted to get through Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII and XIII before my Collector's Edition of XIII-2 arrives in early February, but now I know I'll only get time for one game before that arrives. One gets fixed, another decides to break it seems...


Enough of my personal misery! Now, on to another cultish Nintendo game:

A lotta NES Nintendo games that didn't quite became popular franchises are harder to find simple logos for.
