Yes, I think it's the best campaign since MW2. And it's about the same length as the others. I think about six hours.

Me! Pretty excited to play the story mode.

Also, downloaded Frozen Wilds last night, but it seems like it is a Christmas Break kind of DLC.

"For me, this was the most emotionally invested I’ve been in a Call of Duty campaign since Black Ops I."

LOLLLLLL

BO is easily the worst COD campaign. Also, saying the multiplayer benefits from being grounded and "less chaotic" is totally backwards thinking, IMO. MP is not improved by limiting player mobility and removing some of the best advances in FPS MP mechanics. I miss the freeing verticality of Advanced Warfare and Titanfall 2.

Right now all I have is New Super Mario Brothers U. I'd like to try out some of the classic Nintendo 3D Platformers.
Mario Maker and Super Mario 3D World are both great games and can be played entirely on the Gamepad.
Thanks. I picked up Mario 3d and so far I'm really enjoying it.

What about Zelda games? The only one I really played was ocarina.

I have almost 500 moons. I heard there are 999. Is that true?

The Wind Waker remake is a must play especially if you skipped It's initial release.

A moon = a star. So each moon is an objective. A Korok is more of a collectable, especially the final 450.

Yeah, I've avoided all spoilers about the end game content. I have about 250 moons and am in Bowser's World. Will definitely go back to previous levels once I "beat" the game.

Definitely get the HD remake of Wind Waker. The Donkey Kong on the Wii U is a really great platformer. Captain Toad is a nice game too.

It's a confusing, samey labyrinth. And the bosses are not about strategy, just quantity of missiles blasted in their face. Apparently I don't have enough for Ridley. I don't get the love for this one.
I don't know what to say...
Is it a favorite of yours? I did manage to finish it last night. Fix the wall jump (just go Ninja Gaiden style), remove dots from the map when items are recovered, and give the bosses a life meter, and I would be excited to play it again.

I'm thinking Castlevania IV next. I want to do Chrono Trigger, but I'm afraid of the time commitment. One thing I do love out the Snes is the color palate. The games are so pretty.
