Nintendo Downloads - January 26, 2023
« on: January 23, 2023, 03:00:00 AM »

After last week, I for one could use a break from death, dismemberment, and creepy party members. But enough about Engage...

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/62683/nintendo-downloads-january-26-2023

Things we missed last week: A remake of Colossal Cave Adventures (one of the original text adventures) called Colossal Cave, which puts the game into 3D environments and was helmed by Roberta and Ken Williams. Yes, first-ballot Hall of Famers Roberta and Ken Williams. Tank Force, Namco's 1991 follow-up to Battle City (which I played on 31-in-1 back in the day) joined the Archives.

A quiet week this week - which after last week's triple-header of RPGs is sorely needed - is helmed by the relatively inexpensive game of the week; Bertil Horberg's latest Onion Assault (as John discussed recently on Connectivity). The graphical savant has turned his attention to Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 and the results look kind of promising to give a break between Tartarus runs. And aside from Startup Company, giant overvaluations and layoffs not included, that seems to be it...

...until we get to Japan which drops another 400 hours of RPG between Disgaea 7 (remember, 6 came out two years ago) and Story of Seasons: It's A Wonderful Life. The west will wait until the summer at minimum for both, blessedly.

I just learned about Onion Assault this morning. I saw a trailer of it posted and was curious to see what people meant when they were saying it was like SMB2. Didn't realize it was Horberg's latest or that he had made a new game until it started. It's immediately jumped up high on my wishlist. It's the most excited I've been for a game by Horberg.

I got Gunman Clive 1 and 2 because of the positive word of mouth but it took like a couple years to convince to give them a shot even at their low price. Did enjoy the games although they didn't fully grip me into wanting to play them over and again much. Just never had any enthusiasm for Mechstermination Force. It didn't seem to get as much positive press (or at least get people talking about it like Gunman Clive) and a game that is just a boss rush mode does not sound like a fun time to me. Even with the game hitting the same price level as Gunman Clive in sales, I've just never thought about picking it up and giving it a shot.

But Onion Assault has pretty much sold me on the trailer alone. Best gaming surprise of 2023 so far.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.
