Ummmm, yes. I have avoided all gameplay videos since E3. I'm so freakin' pumped to get every single moon.

Are you?

Very excited. Is a moon this games version of a star?

Yes, and there apparently dozens of them in each level. Reviews hit Thursday. First two have been glowing.

Anybody try Hellblade? i have seen it on the PSN store a lot, and I always just thought it looked like a generic mishmash of other better games. But this morning I read that the character has some sort of psychotic condition, and the game uses a lot of binaural audio to connect you to her experience. Sounds intriguing.

I'm pretty excited for Cuphead if it ever comes to PlayStation. Steamworld Dig 2 had a great gameplay loop though.

Two important points tho

If you die in cuphead, can you continue constantly on the board you die on, or is it like contra where you start from the beginning??

Which one is more time consuming and in depth.. like I'd rather one where I can pick up n play from time to time as opposed to completely focus on tons of shit??

Cuphead looks awesome, but I know I'll end up smashing my keyboard from frustration.

I've only played through world 1 so far but it's been fun to this point. It's certainly much prettier, that's for sure.

On another note, every time I see Secret of Mana instead of Chrono Trigger on the SNES Classic I get angry.

Nice!

I use my Wii U to power on my SNES Classic since everything is wired behind the TV stand and I am lazy. I was about an hour into a session with Yoshi's Island and the Wii U's power mode setting turned the system off. I did not save... :evil:

Yes, as long as the USB power source (Wii U or PS4) is on. I bet it would work on the PS4 if it is on rest mode too. I'm able to just swap the HDMI cable back and forth too.
