Pokemon Leaf Green is now a 20 year old game and a few years ago, my brother offered the idea to do a Nuzlocke on any Pokemon game. For his birthday this year, I decided to take his offer. Happy birthday, Paul!

There was a time where people were genuinely excited for mass game events like E3 and the Game Awards. But for the past few years, company and consumer interest in them has declined quite a lot. I want to speak my mind on why I think that is.

Platinum Games has become one of my favorite game studios in recent years and a big area where it's evident that they let their imaginations run wild is in boss battles. Let's take a look at some!
Disclaimer: Most of the entries are from M-rated games. If anything that can be present in them disturbs you, viewer discretion is advised.
Second Disclaimer: Spoilers are abundant in the video. There is a list present early in the video showing which of Platinum's titles I've played in case spoilers are a big concern.

A lot did happen to me this year in regards to where I'm going in real life, but I've done a lot of video work this year as well. So I thought about grabbing some of my favorite moments from my videos as well as any video I had an appearance in and stick them all into a montage to give 2021 a proper send-off. Hope you all are staying safe, thank you all for the support and feedback, and have a Happy New Year!
(Note in regards to the moments on Fawn's stream: If it seems like my reacting is a little off in terms of timing, it's because the broadcast of the Direct was farther ahead for Fawn than it was for me. Sorry but it could not be helped.)

The full title is supposed to be Winter Festivities 2 (Electric Boogaloo) but sadly because of this game's long title, I didn't have enough characters. Oop. But anyways, here's the other time Mario and Sonic played in the snow.

I planned to make a Metroid themed video at some point this year to commemorate the franchise's 30th anniversary, but my friend, Renegade Master, proposed the idea of an open collab comprising of whoever wants to be on board. I decided to jump on board with a mini-review of my personal favorite game in the series, the original Metroid Prime. Hope you enjoy and please consider checking out the other videos in this open collab!

Tales of Arise is almost here! And a demo for it came out not too long ago! Let's see how the game is shaping up to be at launch!
This video is about the demo presented to the public before the final product is released, and as such it is reflective of my thoughts of what was presented in the demo, not the final game.

Sucker Punch chose to move on to other franchises but the time came for another adventure with Raccoonus Doodus. And it was a big one.

Sonic has always been one of my favorite franchises. So in honor of its 30th anniversary, I thought about revisiting the last countdown topic I did on iMovie before jumping to a new editing software. Happy 30th anniversary Sonic!

I've loved Pokemon ever since I was a little kid and I continue to love it to this day. Let me show you my 25 favorite Pokemans.
This was initially supposed to be done and uploaded on June 4th, my birthday, but I prioritized important work and got things done for the video later than I would've liked. Eh, at least it's done now.

A long time ago in a place far far away...........there were two games I sunk a ridiculous amount of hours into. So for this National Star Wars Day, I decided to revisit them via an updated rerelease and see if I still like them now. May the Fourth be with you all!

The Nintendo 3DS is one of my favorite video game consoles of all time. Here's a select few games I loved playing on it!
(P.S. I need a new cover for my circle pad. Ripped off near the tail end of development.)
Disclaimer: While the grand majority of the footage here is from me, there are a good number of clips I used from other YouTube videos, especially for #2 since my 3DS capture card could not capture any footage from the games without bugging out the picture with static lines. I actively try to avoid using footage from others unless it can't be helped in a case. Credit is below.

"A 3D Platformer by former Sonic Team employees and the people behind Yoshi's New Island published by Square Enix? Sounds cool! Looks cool even!" That is what I thought before I gave this demo a shot.
This video is about the demo presented to the public before the final product is released, and as such it is reflective of my thoughts of what was presented in the demo, not the final version of the game.

I've been climbing up my six mains for these Smash montages. Sonic is one spot away from my true main, so he's next in line for a montage!
