I was just gazing at this game in my stack of Wii games when I had my Wii set up a few weeks ago. I really want to get back to it. It just oozes creativity. Such a delight to play.
The idea that the truth of history is elusive because whoever writes it has his/her bias, suggesting that no one can really know the truth of history. I think while that's true, modern historians have really tried hard to get around the biases of a particular age and its historians through improved archeology and other techniques. We really can find out a lot of what is true of a particular time or event, just not in every case. Leaving history up to interpretation opens the doors for a lot of conspiracy theories and whatnot which make great stories like some told in Atomic Robo, but are really not too likely given what we actually do know for sure.
Mahjong in Yakuza, huh? I'm going to play Yakuza 3 soon. I wonder if it's in that one.
What a mashup idea! I'll make an attempt. You play as an Ape who drives a Mech. You work for an agency run by Inspector Waffles in the town of Twin Lakes where you investigate a crime. One suspicious resident is Spongebob and his even more suspicious friend Patrick. They live in a creepy old house that's more like several houses stitched together overlooking the sea. Edith Finch has gone missing and you must use all the new detective gear installed in your mech. The problem is, you're an ape and have to control everything somewhat randomly by rolling around the control deck. Can you solve the mystery and uncover the creepy doings of Mr. Spongebob and his butler Patrick?
There's a topic. Games I played on other people's systems. I did that in ye olden days when each kid in the neighborhood had a different console or handheld.
Yeah, great voice. I never thought about Quark in Ratchet & Clank being like Blasto but now I can't unthink it.
Interesting use of the rainbow bridge.
Oh, look at that CRT TV. I still have a tiny one but everything else is flat.
That's some pretty sneaky sampling Daft Punk.
I played this way back but didn't get very far in it 'cause of lousy controls if I remember right. I do have a soft spot for this game though because of Phil Hartman voicing Blasto.
I played the variations on MS Mahjong. Some add timed challenges. It's nothing too different but I saw that MS has free Suduko and Wordament games as well.
