The Last Story for Wii was a really good time, I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely not Xenoblade level but that’s an unrealistically high bar
I spent well over an hour playing this owl minigame from Rhythm Heaven Groove The music is so sped up and distorted it’s barely audible - they basically said “stop playing this silly owl game and go to bed”
I stumbled upon this old review for Animal Crossing Wild World and I couldn’t not share it here. Enjoy.
Been playing old Mario Party games with my partner every night for the past couple of months Mario Party 6 is indeed delightful
Me when I meet a fellow gamer out in the wild and get excited but then they say they only play GTA and Call of Duty
Wonderful game from @microbirdgames.bsky.social - very happy to have a physical copy of this
Crow Country S+ rank achieved 🙌 wonderful spooky-but-not-too-scary survival horror game 🕸️🖤
raspberries are so good, I’ll take it it’s also pretty accurate poomang.com/en/t/myfruit...
Resident Evil Requiem looks SO good Horror aspects of RE2 combined with action-focused RE4 but with improved combat It sounds and looks perfect 🥹
I play almost all indies on PC so this isn’t exactly indicative of my gaming last year as a whole, but here are my Nintendo Year in Review stats for 2025! 🩵
old #promosky was outdated so here’s a new one for 2026! hello!! I’m Ben - I write about indie games (and play way too many of them) 🌸 other things I like: - cute stuff - nintendo - gothic books/art - survival horror - retro games - puzzles! - forests - alt/metal music likes/reposts appreciated 🩵
Introduce yourself with 4 indie games (The House in Fata Morgana & 1000xRESIST may well have been in mine but I’ve included some others for variety sake!)
Contemplating adding a sensor to my tiny hallway that automatically plays Wii Shop Channel music whenever anyone is in it
Compiling all of my favourite games I’ve played over the year into one video is honestly my favourite part of the end-of-year game discussions, I always have such a great time doing this
The choice at the end of Clair Obscur was probably the most difficult choice I’ve ever had to make in a video game Crazy stuff
I’m so conflicted on Metroid Prime 4 - Volt Forge and Ice Belt were incredible, but Great Mines was incredibly dull The disparity between excellence and tedium is striking, but I’ve still had a blast with the game regardless
