* Did you hear? They're making a mini-manga spinoff ''SuperMarioRPG'' that will ''actually'' be translated! It's going to be followed by a 3DS re-release and thanks to Nintendo making a deal with Square, it's going to keep the original gameplay everyone loved intact while still fleshing out the characters with additional scenes! From additional mini-games to interactions between party members [[spoiler: like that one scene where Mallow and Geno talk about the former's wish]] to more optional sidequests [[spoiler: rumor has it that there's a special event for each party member]], it's one game that fans of the original won't want to miss. One of the best parts so far? [[spoiler: A Boss Battles mode that allows the player to face down any BigBad they've defeated before using any party combination, even soloing if you're feeling brave.]]

* Man, Power Mecha Max is awesome! The main character is this [[CuteShotaroBoy 10 year old boy]] [[TheVoiceless who never speaks]] named Max, until he gets in his Mecha, called Prototype X. In it, he becomes a Hot Blooded Badass Adorable with a weapon that can change shape. Said weapon's normal form is [[spoiler: A GIANT PENCIL!]] Did I mention that [[spoiler: Max is really Maxwell from Scribblenauts?]]

* NipponIchi's new ''GurrenLagann'' StrategyRPG is a must-play for any fan of the series. The way they handle Spiral Energy by having it deplete or increase based on how well you're doing in the battle is innovative and true to the series, the art style is perfectly accurate, and the action commands during battles are great fun. While you can play through the exact events of the series (with some of the best parts from the movies - they even ''finally'' fixed the MissedMomentOfAwesome by giving Lord Genome a Tengen Toppa Lazengann!) if you take the main quest, the real fun is trying out all the "what-if" paths and seeing what happens. But the best part is how [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything they handled the Thymilph fight]]. Ordinarily, his lance will deal enough damage to kill Kamina if you're at the level you'd ordinarily be at by that point, but if you've done enough LevelGrinding and sidequests to build up Kamina's maximum HP, he'll actually shrug it off, and you get to keep him for the rest of the game! It's just as awesome as it sounds.

* DukeNukemForever. [[DevelopmentHell No wonder it took 15 years to make.]] First of all, the gameplay is a surprisingly intricate blend of first-person shooter, RPG, adventure game, text adventure, and believe it or not, [[CookingMama cooking games.]] ItMakesSenseInContext. Second, it really fleshes out Duke's character in this. He's still macho and wisecracking, but he also has many emotional moments regarding the kidnapping of his daughter(I don't wanna spoil too much, but it's [[TearJerker very effective]]). The choices that he'll(by which I mean, you) make in this journey will have their consequences and their benefits. The whole story is really about redemption and self-discovery(Yes, an effective story in a DukeNukem game. Go figure). Third, the setting of the game is amazingly crafted. There's so many things you can do in this game! Who you are character-wise will really affect the gameplay. You can be a jerk and ignore pleas for help or steal from others, but while this can benefit you, it can also have severe consequences. However, you can get a chance to redeem yourself if you want to. Most of the NPC dialogue reminded me of {{Earthbound}} in that it was witty, hilarious, and incredibly fun to listen to. There's also a lot of exploration and sidequests that you may or may not do. It's all about opportunity. Also, there's more SceneryPorn, TechnologyPorn, and GunPorn than {{Avatar}}, if you can believe it. And the soundtrack? [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Genius.]] So to any gamers out there who's been jaded by the wait? It's worth it. Hell, even [[ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] likes it! [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/748-Duke-Nukem-Forever No, seriously.]]

* ''Tales of Game's Presents Chef Boyardee's SweetBroAndHellaJeff RPG'' is a surprisingly entertaining game! I had always thought that they were going to make it ''too'' intentionally sucky and have it end up being a poorly-programmed troll game, but then I downloaded it anyway, and it turns out to be truly fun. It's a real treat to see the awesomely fun battle system from ''BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden'' reused, and its new implementations are fresh and exciting. Speaking of ''Barkley'', Tales of Game's do pull several homages to their older work, particularly with Hass the Rock's special attacks, but they're never jarring or forced. The writing is hilarious and true to the original comic - I was laughing all the way through the BigBad revealing himself to be Cool Dude and Stoner Lou and the HotCoffeeMinigame with Sweet Bro's mom - and the plot line flows suprisingly well, progressing from the boys going out to get the New Hot Game, to chasing the Squirrel, and finally to proving themselves a sweet enough bro to rescue the president when they set off to save Barack Obana. The artstyle matches the comic perfectly - who'd have known that they could animate JPEG artifacts? They even pulled off a very good instance of MagikarpPower with Geromy, who starts out as a JokeCharacter unable to attack, but then becomes the hardest hitter in the game when equipped with his best equipment. My only complaint is that I can't beat the BonusBoss, Peaches. Is there any way to hit him before he makes Sweet Bro fall down him?

* When this troper dicovered the MonsterHigh anime would star the dub voices of VictoriaJustice as Cleo De Nile, MirandaCosgrove as Draculaura, JenetteMcCurdy as Lagoona Blue, Keke Palmer as Clawdeen Wolf, Willa Howard as Frankie Stein and Jesse McCartney as Deuce I was a little bit put off. But they pulled it of perfectly! May have had something to do with the fact that the anime was made by StudioBONES and the Opening was performed by UtadaHikaru! Even though it only lasted 12 Episodes the entire Arc was amazing and full of CharacterDevelopment and [[PlotTwist Plot Twists!]]

(Alright, I'm a {{Tsundere}} fan. You couldn't tell?) Don't expect to see me for the next year or so, though.

* ''AxeCop: TheMovie'' is going to be ''epic!'' MichaelBay is the perfect director for such a project, and casting MelGibson in the titular role is not only fitting, it's sure to revitalise his career. From what's shown in the trailers, the special effects are top-notch, and it's been confirmed that while there's enough recap of past storylines for the feel to be established and newcomers to understand, the majority of the storyline will be ''all new''. But best of all, [[AndTheFandomRejoiced Malachai is the assistant director and has full control over the plot]], so it'll still have the ''Axe Cop'' feel. I can already tell that it'll be a huge hit!

**Any EarthBound fan owes it to himself/herself to get the EarthBound Anthologies on the DS. All three EarthBound games, complete with normal and hard modes, perfectly fitted touch controls, a demo of what would have been EarthBound 64, and, coolest of them all, a brand new game! It chronicles the adventures of Hugh as he sets out to destroy the very last traces of Giygas in the world. [[spoiler: We eventually find out that Hugh is the son of Ness and Paula, that Ness and Ninten are half-brothers (Ness' clothes are hand-me-downs from Ninten), that Lucas traveled back in time under his brother's Masked Man persona to kill Porky, that Hugh's mysterious mentor is Porky in disguise, and that Hugh contains the very last trace of Giygas. The moment that the game stops before Hugh's girlfriend is about to kill the corrupted Hugh and asks you whether or not you should kill him is the most powerful moment in gaming this troper has ever known.]]

*Two words: Kingdom Hearts 3. All the others were NOTHING compared to it. Where to begin. The happy rescue of Terra, Aqua, Ven, Roxas, Namine, Xion, and Lea. The second Keyblade war. Everyone cool shows up to the party. Disney villains and heroes, Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed. There was too much awesome and funny moments to list, but the keyblade battle between Maleficent and Riku can't be missed. And the final battle with Xehanort calls back to his previous forms and game music such as Another Side and Fate of the Unknown. The last form, however, is kind of depressing. All in all though, the heroes earn their happy ending.

* With the release of the final episode of ''The Siege of Babel'', I think it's safe to say that the ''GiantRobo'' saga has cemented its status as the greatest OVA series ever made, and quite likely the best mecha anime ever. Watching the entire thing in chronological order from ''The Birth of Zangetsu the Midday'' is a roller coaster that must be experienced to be believed. I'd advise watching it in weekly installments over the course of a year, but any pace works. (And don't listen to anyone who tells you Daisaku and Sunny were StrangledByTheRedString; it actually builds remarkable well from her battle in ''The Day the Earth Stood Still''.) Bonus points for making the cel-to-digital transition so visually seamless that you can't even tell when it happened.

* Oh my god, I just played the latest TouhouProject game! It's both an AuthorsSavingThrow for ''Silent Sinner in Blue'' and [[spoiler: brings back PC-98 characters!]]. The Moonbitches are subjected to TheWorfEffect and defeated off-screen by [[spoiler: Shinki!]] Then they're relegated to Stage 4 bosses that appear when you play as Marisa! (The other two are [[spoiler: Elly and Kurumi and Yuki and Mai]], respectively. And yes, [[spoiler: Elly's boss theme is a Bad Apple remix]].) It's even explicitly stated that Marisa was holding back in ''SSiB''. Then you reach [[spoiler: Shinki]] in a climactic fight, with all sorts of attack references. Oh, and speaking of references, there's another stage after the final one that's not an Extra Stage! Yeah, if you beat the game twice then after the normal final boss you go fight [[spoiler: [[TrueFinalBoss the Goliath Doll, followed by Alice Margatroid. With her book open!]] It also clarifies the Shinki/Alice relationship]]. The whole thing is of course a take off on DoDonpachi. But wait, we haven't even got to the Extra Stage! It's a It's basically a NostalgiaLevel [[spoiler: for the PC-98 games]]. The boss is [[spoiler: Yuka]], who gleefully uses her signature move on you. And then, yes yes, as if this game hasn't had enough, the new Phantasm Stage! It's even ''more'' of a NostalgiaLevel, with [[spoiler: Shinki and Alice together as the mid-boss]] and the main boss is...well ''[[spoiler: [[BrotherChuck who do you think?]]]]''. Marisa's had an expression only used for that level, it was shocking to see.
** Also the latest Touhou fighting game, which was released at the same time! It had Flandre, Kaguya, Mokou, Nitori, Kanako, Orin, Koishi, Byakuren, Nue, and [[spoiler: surprise, Kogasa!]]. Alice's new Grimoire spellcards really change her character while still making her balanced. Oh, and there's an OldSaveBonus if you cleared the new Touhou game [[spoiler: Shinki randomly appears at the end of Arcade mode; Mima if you also cleared Phantasm. Beat them and they're unlocked!]] This is truly epic, folks.
