So I Bought a PlayStation Classic…

Jett2 Comments

It’s safe to say that the PlayStation Classic was a bust. Panned by critics and gamers for its questionable game selection, use of the original PlayStation controllers over the Dualshock, sub-par emulation, and the mixing of NTSC and PAL versions of games, the console has already seen at least one dramatic price cut.

Closer to home, Best Buy Canada slashed over 75% off the original retail price, bringing it down to a measly $29.99. Converted to USD, that’s just $22.41! At a price that low, I couldn’t resist.

Mortal Kombat 11 on Nintendo Switch and the Choice Between Performance vs. Convenience

JettLeave a comment

Mortal Kombat 11 is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. I bought the PS4 version, but not without giving the Nintendo Switch version serious consideration. While the graphical degradation is clear when you view them side-by-side, it looks like the Switch holds up where it matters most. Both games appear to play equally well, and I think trading graphical fidelity for portability in this case is a reasonable exchange.

This is not a new phenomenon for the Nintendo Switch. While we would all love to see more third parties jump on the Switch bandwagon, we’ve already seen a number of titles complete the journey successfully, such as Rocket League, the NBA 2K series, Doom, Paladins, Skyrim, Warframe, and more. It’s just still a surprise to me to see that we’re in a world where portable gaming is much closer to its console counterparts than ever before.

Indie sleeper hit on the Switch? I think so! 20XX is a really cool twist on the Mega Man formula worth trying! On this stream, I make one run each with Nina and Ace, the X and Zero of the game!

20XX Review

JettLeave a comment

20XX by Batterystaple Games isn’t afraid to show where its inspiration came from. From the design of its main characters, to the feel of the game’s controls, right down to aping one of the most iconic intro screens in gaming, this is an unapologetic riff on the Mega Man franchise, particularly the X series of games. However, some fundamental changes to the core formula flip the standard bot-battling formula on its head.

Street Fighter Week | Is Street Fighter Still the Premier Fighting Game Franchise?

JettLeave a comment

Street Fighter Month concludes here on In Third Person! Though Street Fighter has always been perceived as the leader in fighting games, is it still deserving of that title? Thank you for joining me in this battle!

Street Fighter will always hold a special place in the fighting game community. Street Fighter II pioneered the genre. Street Fighter III was the game that kept the hardest-of-hardcore fans engaged during Capcom’s fighting game drought. Street Fighter IV ushered in the modern era of fighting games, laying out the blueprint for how to design a competitive fighting game for modern times.

But has it been deserving of that position in a post-Street Fighter V world? Not to specifically throw shade at that game, but in these last few years, the Street Fighter brand got weaker while others got stronger. On top of that, certain games may have stronger claims to the throne than you may think. Let’s discuss!
