Anticipating E3!

Oh boy, another long break. I try, I try. Sorry all!

So I promise this entry won't be as random and weird as my last one. I have lots to talk about! Let's get started!

Now that college is done for the semester, I can focus on more important things..... video games! E3 is just around the corner, but it sure is taking a long time! I just know that this will be an awesome event. Can't wait! Here's what I hope to hear from E3:
More information about Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Wii 2, Cave Story 3D, HOPEFULLY another Professor Layton game, Dragon Quest X, Super Mario 3D (not real title), and plenty more but I'm not going to name all of them. These are just the ones I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing about.

It's been 5 years since Twilight Princess, and we NEED to know more about this new Zelda game! Rumors are going around that Nintendo might release it on their new console (which looks extremely unlikely but we never know). I'm all for having a Zelda for the Wii, but all for the new console as well. Only downfall is that we will have to wait even LONGER than we have.

Wii 2 will not be the name for the new console, but many people are calling it that at the moment just to keep it simple. It seems like the controller will have a touch screen on it which sounds awesome! The controller will be pretty big too. Here's some fun pictures people designed for the new controller. Link

Cave Story 3D. I. can't. wait! I've played the original on DSi Ware, however, I have yet to finish it. (right at the end though!) This game is actually a free software game you can play online, but I recommend downloading it on Wii Ware or DSi Ware. It's a slightly better gaming experience. The release for this game on the 3DS came out back in March (?), and already it's release date is June 19th. Here is the box art

Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute BETTER be announced at E3! It's a little ridiculous that Europe got this game, and we have not. It's been about a year since Unwound Future, so it's time for a new one! I would think the Layton games sell well here, so there shouldn't be a problem, right!? Huge fan of the Professor Layton series. It would also be nice hearing about the Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover game! So excited for that! Check out the trailer for it!

Dragon Quest X was announced to be released for the Wii, which makes me super happy since I'm a huge Nintendo girl. They have not said when it will be done or anything else on the matter, so hopefully there will be some information about it at E3. (I'm looking forward to this news more than anything.)

So at the GDC, they talked about a new Mario game for the 3DS. Not much has been reveled, but the title had a tail at the end of Mario. I'm sure that all of you who have played Super Mario Bros. 3 know what this tail is *wink wink*. Really looking forward to this!

So that all I'll go on about for E3. Can't wait!

Now I have some information that might make you all happy. (I know it made me happy!) So Square Enix is celebrating Dragon Quest's 25th anniversary by releasing a collection of games for the Wii! The game will be Dragon Quest 1-5 I believe. They also are giving away Slime plushies as well! Bad news to all this is that we can't guarantee this will come out in America. The release is only for Japan as of now. It would be AMAZING if we could get this! I would buy this in a heartbeat! Here's a link for more information. I'll be super angry if we don't get it! >:(

I have some miscellaneous news to share. I'm finally done with my semester at college, which gives me more game time! I finally picked up Pokemon Black and made it to the Elite Four! (I'm getting slaughtered) I also started Dragon Quest VIII again! I got through a dungeon and working on getting my ship! I also have plans to finish Cave Story before the 3DS one comes out!
Speaking of 3DS, I got one! xD I was actually going to wait for when OoT came out, but I couldn't wait much longer! Plus, I would get tons of Street Passes for my upcoming anime convention!
I only have 1 game for my 3DS; Nintendogs plus cats. I have NEVER owned or played a Nintendogs game before, so this is my first. Love it! Addicting and adorable!
For those considering buying a 3DS, it's worth it. Don't listen to all the complainers who think it's pointless. They know NOTHING. The features are incredible! I had fun playing with it without a game! Theres tons you can do! Also, 3D doesn't bother my eyes so I have no issues with it. I actually LOVE 3D. Please let me know if anyone gets a 3DS so we can trade friend codes! ^_^

Can't remember if I mentioned this in my last post, but I purchased Heavy Rain and Batman Arkham Asylum. Started Heavy Rain but didn't get far at all. I like it a lot so far, but it's slightly depressing. Hahaha. Can't wait to start Batman!

I received my cosplay costume for Franziska Von Karma! It's so awesome. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and document moments!

My brother just started writing reviews for games on this gaming site! They'll be changing it soon though, but please read his review on Portal 2! :D Portal 2 review

So thats about all for today. I probably won't blog till after the anime convention and/or E3. Be sure to follow my tweets for exciting news on games! Have a lovely day everyone! xD Enjoy E3!

-Riss ^^

Big thanks to my brother. I would not be able to provide most of this helpful information if it weren't for him! :D

A side note: I'm working on a new banner, but it's taking longer than I thought! Hopefully by the end of the week!

Nintendo's new console and misc. rambles

Greeting all!

I have made some fancy shmancy changes to my blog. Now all I need is a new border. I'm working on it! I'm making it myself! (gotta put these photoshop skills into action).

GOOD NEWS!! Nintendo is in progress on making a new system! So happy! Nothing is revealed yet, except there are rumors that the controller will have a touch screen on it. AMAZING! How awesome is that?! E3 is going to be great. I can feel it. (don't let us down Nintendo!)

So why do I always blog late at night? I think I have more motivation to do it or something. Well, who cares. At least I'm doing it.
So I purchased my cosplay outfit today (lame cuz I don't make them, I know) and I'm super excited now! I just need a whip and I'll be good! I'm going as Franziska Von Karma from the Phoenix Wright series. Here be a picture of her...


So you know how I was going on about Teen Titans in the last post? Well, I sorta bought the first season on Amazon (since NO PLACES SELL IT ANYMORE!! WTH?!) I got it for $8! Come on now, thats pretty awesome! So I got it yesterday, and I'm almost done watching all 13 episodes... obsessed? I think YES! I'm actually in the process of buying the second season right now. (I literally have amazon open xD)

Okay. Video games. I need to make progress! I'm been really busy guys.... I mean REALLY busy. I'm slammed with projects and studies since the semester is almost over, and on top of that I work everyday of the week except Thursdays. Life sucks. I have no time to do hardly anything. I go to school, come home and work on homework, then go to work, come home and work on more homework....then sleep. UGHHH!!! >:( I'm also getting over a cold so that makes everything 10x worse....
But I am being trained to wait tables so I'm happy about that! :D
Well, unfortunately, no news on video games. I still haven't picked up Pokemon for a while. I'm thinking about starting up DQ8 any second now.

However, there is some news on gaming... Portal 2! Soooo good! Feels just as good as the old one. Not very far in it, but my brother is making progress!

I think I'm going to purchase a 3DS in June. Then I can play Zelda OoT. Good idea? I think so.

I'm out of things to blog about. This entry was super random and weird. Sorry guys. Next entry will be better. I'll talk about upcoming games and stuffzzz. But for now, I think I'll call this a post. I'm going to watch more Teen Titans. Good night all!

I'm a DC comic girl.

Hello fellow (2) followers! How be you!? I'm back!
So I know what your thinking... "why are you talking about comics on a video game blog!?" Now, now, all is well. I will get to that soon. But for now, let's talk gaming!

Been playing Pokemon Black and I have yet to finish it! (shame on me). I am, however, at the 8th gym, but I need more training to do! My poor Cubchoo can't handle the mighty dragons. *sniffles* I've also been super busy with school and work so my video gaming has been on hiatus. (it really sucks being a college student). The semester is almost done, which means more games! Yay! But also means work too. I am taking a summer class this year. Might as well get it out of the way. It's math too.... yuck! However, I shouldn't be TOO busy this summer...

Along with Pokemon I am playing Dragon Quest 8. Which has also been paused due to Pokemon and life. *sigh* I just can't win can I? I need a good month dedicated to nothing but video games! Wouldn't that be wonderful.
I'm about 16 hours or so into DQ8, but I still have a long, long ways to go still. (I literally just got the world map and haven't even explored half of it yet.) Oh boy. But, I plan to finish it by August! That is my goal! Then I can get a move on my other DQ games. (I have about 5 of them) Love Dragon Quest. It's probably my favorite series, along with Zelda that is! Oh what do I know?! I can't pick a favorite game to save my life!

Got exciting news! A new Harvest Moon game has been announced for the 3DS and the DS! Tale of Two Towns! You basically have 2 different lives! Sounds so awesome! Click here for more info!

I'm so pumped! I love Harvest Moon games! They're so addicting and fun!
Other good news, Cave Story for 3DS on June 28th!!!! ZOMG!! LOVE CAVE STORY!! If you haven't played it, do so now! It's originally a free online game, but I recommend purchasing it on DSi Ware or Wii ware! Better gaming experience! I am so happy for this! This is a great way for more people to play this awesome game! Unfortunately I have yet to beat it, but I'm right at the end! My brother just finished it, and he loved it! ^^
Click here for more info.
Oh, and if your wondering.... I have not purchased a 3DS yet. *cries* I will soon though! I just need more money..and time! O_o

So, about this DC comic thing.... I'm not gonna lie, I love comics. (even though I own like 2). My dork meter just went up didn't it?
HUGE Batman fan. I had a Batman cupcake at my graduation party! Don't believe me? Here's a picture!

(Holy blonde hair Batman!) Did that for Riza Hawkeye cosplay! xD
Aww yeah! Thats right yo! xD
I literally just got done watching Batman Begins! Fantastic movie may I say? Christian Bale is my fav! :D Next movie is gonna be sweet! Midnight showing for that fo sho!
So, this whole comic book phase started with Teen Titans. I LOVE TT! I won't lie though, the cartoon got me started. I watched the series premier when I was in 6th grade! 12 years old! Can't believe it! The show ended my freshmen year in high school! I really don't know why they never made season 6. The show was so popular! Very sad.... However, last summer they started showing it on Boomerang every weeknight at 10:30, followed by The Batman! What better combination is there!? They also started airing it again on Cartoonnetwork for a good period of time, but now it's off on both stations! D: I'm super sad! I just started getting back into it! Grrr... (can never be too old for the cartoons you love, eh!?)

Alright, sorry for the long blog post. But I had lots to talk about! Next time I'll keep it shorter. And I'm still considering vlogging, but we'll see how this goes first. Anyway, I should go to bed. It's almost 1:00am, and I have class in the morning...eww.
But before I go, here's just a list of games I need to start/finish.

-Pokemon Black
-DQ8
-DQ4
-DQ5
-DQ6
-Chrono Trigger
-999 (9 hours, 9 persons, 9 doors)
-Ace Attorney: Miles Edgeworth Investigations
-Super Princess Peach (which I will be purchasing soon!)

Thats all I'll list for now. Good night all! Also, be expecting some fancy shmancy changes to my blog. I'm not crazy about this theme.... -_-'

Follow me onTwitter

More to come!

I swear I'm going to start blogging more, but right now things are tough. It'll be a good 2-3 weeks before anything really starts going on. Please bare with me!

-Rissa

Pray for Japan...

Yeah, yeah. I know it's been yet another long break from my blogging, but I really wanted to dedicate this one for Japan. Please send your thought and prayers to them. They are going through a tragic time. I pray that all will end soon! Japan is such a beautiful country. It is my life long dream to go there. You are in our thoughts and prayers! xoxoxo

On a happier note, I have a Twitter! Follow me! I'm way more active on there than here! Also, I'm thinking about starting a Vlog, but still debating. It will be mainly about video games and all that geeky stuff. xD
Hope everyone is doing well! Till next time!

I have a bad habit..

...OF NOT BLOGGING MORE!! I really do love blogging....seriously, I do! But I always forget about it >_< I'm ashamed!
Ughhh.... so stuff has happened. Mainly bad stuff but I'm over it now. I'm too old for this immaturity BS... -_-'

I LOVE my new college! Close to home, and cheap! Plus my classes are awesome! Except for anatomy..... yuck. I really don't like that stuff. But graphic design is amazing! So much to do! :o
Not to mention many people who love anime and video games like me! Easier to click with that crowd! xD

So I kinda have a slight obsession..with Harvest Moon Animal Parade for the Wii. Don't play it. If you do, you'll devote your soul to that game and never leave the house for weeks, maybe even months. It's worse than a drug... much worse. This drug is incurable. Play with caution..
Okay, so I'm exaggerating a little... okay maybe a lot, but I am being honest! I can't STOP PLAYING! I LOVE IT! For those whom have never played a Harvest Moon game before; You have a farm that you take care of, buy crops and plant them, raise and take care of animals (wide variety of livestock to choose from), you get married, have children, cook, mine, work, make money.... it's the life of a country bumpkin! AMAZING! I've been wasting my days playing that.

I also just got done playing a game called Ghost Trick! This just came out a few weeks ago, and it was FANTASTIC! This game was made by Takumi. (same guy who made the Ace Attorney games) He's brilliant! I officially love him! (Well I kinda have for a while xD) I seriously recommend yo!

Alright, I'm going to go to bed now. I has schools tomorrowssss. D: I PROMISE to blog more....I HOPE!

**I need to stop starting sentences with the word, 'but'. Bad habit to get into.

I have completed the Phoenix Wright Trilogy!

Wow! I am a bundle of mixed emotions right now! After completing this game, I feel like I should talk about some of my experiences with it!
Al righty then! So what was so great about this series? EVERYTHING! The cases, the characters, the plot. Everything was absolutely brilliant! I wouldn't hesitate to play it all over again! Out of all three, I'd have to say the second one is my favorite. Don't get me wrong. I loved all three immensely, but there was a something about the second one I really enjoyed. The third one is definitely a close tie with the second one since it was so suspenseful and epic! However, the ending was somewhat melancholy to me since I know it is the last of the Phoenix Wright games.... that is, until Layton vs. Wright was announced!

I know these games have been out for a long time, but unfortunately, I wasn't aware of them until about 2 years ago. (yes, it took me a while to complete these since I had a temporary hiatus from the game due to unknown reasons) I am very happy to have played these awesome games! I truly think anyone who plays them will enjoy it just as much as I did! The characters have lots of charm, and the cases have great stories! This game, however, isn't all that easy. You have to examine all your evidence carefully so that you present the correct ones during court. I have to admit I was found looking up answers on random occasions when I was really stuck. I never like following walkthroughs, but I was sorta desperate! I got through the games all in one piece in the end!

Now about this Apollo guy...
Yes, yes, I will be playing Apollo Justice, along with the Miles Edgworth Investigations! Hopefully I can enjoy these games as much as the Phoenix Wright Trilogy! I'm sure I will though.

I could go on and on, but I think I would drag this on for too long. Haha.
I recommend these games to anyone. I'm sure you all can enjoy these, but I'm sure most of you have already played them. (especially since I started kinda late xD)
Well anyway. This was my short-but-sweet review for the Phoenix Wright games. Definitely a new favorite of mine! :D
