Nintendo Direct 09.02.2022

We are entitled to a beautiful presentation. We had been waiting for such a moment for a while. It is an understatement to say that we were treated to some surprises and other very nice announcements! We also quickly get to the heart of the matter with a game presented in the first seconds.

 

Fire Emblem Warriors, Three Hopes

The success of Hyrule Warriors gave ideas and the Fire Emblem franchise has been given the same treatment!

We witness very beautiful graphics. Dynamic and classic battles of the genre. We recognize the franchise in the style of character design in a blink of an eye. It's a good idea to have taken this franchise for this "Warrior-style" facelift. The images presented are salivating.

Hordes of enemies, duels and a refined design! This pretty candy is coming fast: Expected release: 24.06

Mario Striker Battle League

An online club mode will be available, which promises fierce games in advance. An online ranking will be available. 20 players max per club possible, club to create yourself to play in competitive mode.

10.06 the game will be available with pre-orders possible today. I admit that this game already makes me languish and I hesitate to pre-order it!

A short video for Splatoon is now available to us. This little trailer where nasty little monsters are presented. The characters fight as always with paint their enemies. “Salmon run” game mode. You have to collect and put in a basket a maximum of eggs of the bad guys to win, basically.

A franchise that no longer has much to prove and that still gives as much pleasure. This mode is a continuation of this philosophy.

Kirby and the forgotten world

It must be said that this game presented again with a new trailer always makes you want. Always so beautiful, funny and colorful.

Items that give specific attacks.

This game in a 3D world seems really very interesting and makes you want to be played. I must say that Kirby is not the franchise I have played the most. Well this game, I really want it. It's great and more on March 25 the game will be released and pre-orders are already possible!

So there friends I'm like crazy. I noticed how much I loved this universe and this franchise with this presentation. Because indeed from the first glance I recognized the trademark of this franchise for me emblematic.

Beautiful graphics in this trailer, this world so huge and revisited with this game. This time there are also monsters, magic and it seems that the hom have improved weapons to fight the mechons.

This game looks very promising and mouth-watering! But we haven't had enough for my taste. We don't know at all what it will be, but it seems to be in the future of the stories already known to the franchise!

Game available in September! I cannot wait. I'm going to geek out the existing games thoroughly to prepare for the release of this game.

Game genres - Plateforme

A genre that goes well with others. Totally iconic characters. Whether we are talking about platform games or a mix of platform and action or adventure, there are a lot of games.

Here's a little list to see just how much this genre has created iconic characters:

Mario, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Samus Aran, Spyro, Rayman, Mega Man, Donkey Kong and more.

sonic

Mario is probably the best known of all. The little guy who makes his way through dangers with fireballs, red, green or blue shells etc.

Crash Bandicoot which was reborn after a magnificent Remaster and a brilliant 4th opus. Rayman who with his particular style can make us angry but continually love his stories.

Donkey Kong, although already in the video game scene has a huge notoriety too (maybe especially) thanks to his games on Super Nintendo.

Sonic who has become such an unmistakable and recognizable character. It remains one of a kind to this day.

Spyro what can I say, this fiery little dragon who must help his fellows when he does not yet really know how to fly. Will we be entitled to a new opus on Next Gen? It would be nice.

Samus Aran who knew how to impress everyone because until the end of the (first) game you couldn't tell she was a woman. She became a real icon of the video game world. A new game is coming soon (it's about time)

Mega Man who is certainly recognizable and known to players, it is perhaps less so to people who do not play regularly. This character remains a reference all the same.

crash

This genre has bound to be a part of my life since playing video games. Sometimes impossible to follow, other times too simple. The developers always do everything they can to be able to confuse you and make you angry. Let's face it, there is a bit of nastiness behind it all. They love to see us suffer.

We must also say that we want more. This genre has been around for so long. If we take Mario as an example we are in 35 years of agony, rage and questioning about life. I'm exaggerating a bit, it's true.

Remember your last games on this kind of games. There is some truth to it.

metroid

Recently I got back to Metroid on NES and SNES. I have these games via my Nintendo Switch. Thanks to the subscription I even bought the controllers to have the same feeling as in the past.

If you have any doubts about the quality, check out my article on controllers. I say more. Honestly, we can easily find ourselves 25 years back. These games remain fun to play and their story is well written.

spyro

We continue to have a lot of fun. Like a lot of people I also have the new versions of Crash and Spyro. Games that I loved replaying and can't wait to pick up again just by writing these few lines.

What makes these games enjoyable lies precisely in the difficulty and the pace. You have to be sure to jump, run or attack at the right time. All of this is a real challenge and gamers love to take on challenges.

The pace is pretty brisk too, cut off by boss fights, where  it's more a matter of what moves the opponent makes in order to be able to counter them or not get ripped off. We also have bonus stages, like having to fly with Spyro, through rings and in a time limit.

Also having so many different worlds, levels, stages in these games that renew the desire to play and to succeed. The more we advance, the easier it is not to be fooled by monsters, robots or other adversaries.

As gamers who got to play the early games of these characters and saw the birth of some, it's a real pleasure to see that platform games continue to be so popular.

 

Only the Crash and Spyro Remasters prove it. Both "old" and young gamers agree on these games and that's great news. While some, like Mario, are so iconic that every game will be a success, other games like this exist and they have their own well-deserved glory.

 

So don't hesitate, if you want to take on a challenge, if you want to rage or live unforgettable adventures, platform games are for you!

Don’t hesitate to give it a go and have a good game!
