Omfg Streets of Rage 4 is so god damn good. I love me some side-scrolling beat 'em ups" (3D Streets of Rage 2 on the 3DS was my goto bathroom break game at work for awhile) but it can be a hostile genre. Arcade beat 'em ups are cheap and frustrating to steal your quarters, and even console ones made you play the whole game in one go so they're still repetitive.

But Streets of Rage 4 chucks all those issues out the window by saving what levels you've completed but keeping difficulty and replay value by making your and the enemies' move sets complex enough to be fun to learn without making it so complex it ceases to be mindless curb stomping fun. It's the perfect beat 'em up.

And Blaze's boob jiggle is the real deal.

It's definitely a great game. I started playing it a few months back but got distracted with other games. The art style is amazing though and it's fun as hell - I gotta return to it. Blaze looks like she came straight out of a Dead or Alive game.

Holy **** the new Tears of the Kingdom trailer has me so ****ing excited for this sequel. Breath of the wild is still to this day, in 2023, my numero uno favorite game of all time. I cant wait to get lost in this sequel.

Did you play Elden Ring, Key?

Huh. My tv has an AV hookup.

Huh. My old Wii still turns on.

But the batteries in the Wiimote exploded.

No way just cleaning it will fix it.

Oh **** it works.

Guess I'm playing Mario Galaxy now.

Great game. Sunshine still has my heart though.

Galaxy 2 I think is a bit better than the first one. It's a shame they didn't include it in the collection for the Switch. Galaxy 1 has a serious Yoshi-drought problem.

Gotta get an HDMI converter though cause AV cables to a 55" TV looks rough.

Yeah I made it to the final boss but couldn't beat him. I got frustrated and just left it alone. I might go back to it one day but whatevers don't care because I have a backlog of other **** to complete.

Have you checked out the new TMNT beat 'em up that came out last year?

I haven't watched it yet but I've been reading articles on it. I can't wait til May 12th rolls around.

Yes, it was my game of the year for that year. One of the best games I've ever played. I did a bandit and mage playthrough. Both great times. Probably have around 200+ hours in it at this point.

I just preordered both the game and the Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch so I'm ready!
