Who likes statistics?!? I LIKE STATISTICS!! So here’s my Nintendo 2024 year in review. YAY!
So to break some of these down, I had the most playtime in May, around when I was finishing Another Crab’s Treasure and starting Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. My top 3 most played games are Bleach: Brave Souls, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Also, I should note that I got to pick the favorite game catagory, and since a remake of my favorite video game of all time came out this year, I mean, I had to give it Paper Mario. 😊 Overall, it’s been a good year for games. I’m excited for next year.
Wake up, babe! New Bleach opening just dropped!
This one might be my favorite. Kinda gives me “Ranbu no Melody” vibes. Super excited for the premiere!
This is my cat, Ichigo. I realize he is not orange but the color of his fur does look like a shihakusho so the name still fits. He is very cute. That is all.
Last week, Nintendo had an Indie World Showcase. It's like a Direct but primarily for indie games from developers all around the world. A lot of cool games were shown (Have a Nice Death, Pepper Grinder, and Oni, to name a few) but the one that really grabbed my attention was this weird looking game that was released on the same day. Once Upon a Jester. It's about these two friends, Sok and Jester, and their quest to win a chance to perform at the kingdom's Royal Theatrical Spectacle. This, however, is a ruse so they can steal the Royal Diamond! A game where two idiots perform improv theatre so they can steal a big jewel? Sign me up!
The game itself was really fun! The developers, Bonte Avond, recorded most of the dialogue in one take. It definitely shows. But this is by no means a criticism. In fact, the way the dialogue is recorded makes the improv in the game feel much more authentic. Plus it's really funny to see what they came up with. The gameplay is pretty simple, with the player needing to complete quicktime events during the performance to get a good score. The main goal with each performance is to get 5 bouquets from the audience, with a total of fifteen in each town you perform in. If can't get five in one performance, no worries. You can keep trying as long as you need. The plot isn't going anywhere. Also, since the developers are primarily musicians, the music slaps. As someone who spent all of high school and college doing theatre, I can't recommend this game enough.
This isn't so much a review as much me wanting to talk about this really charming game. If you have a Switch or Steam and an appreciation for theatre, then Once Upon a Jester may be for you.
Oh, also Corpse Husband has a cameo in the game. It's hilarious.
Hello! I'm Will! I know I just did an introduction post a week ago but this will be slightly different. This post will have links! :D Anyway, I'm a huge weeb with ASD and ADHD who also streams on Twitch occasionally. What do I stream, you might ask? Whatever I want! Mainly games that I really like, such as Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon to name a few. Big Nintendo person in case you couldn't tell. I also really enjoy reading manga and watching anime. Some of my favorites include Bleach, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Oddtaxi, Space Dandy, Chainsaw Man, Komi Can't Communicate, Laid-Back Camp and so much more! If you are curious about where I might talk about these things aside from here, then you're in luck! You can find links to all of my social media and my Twitch channel here at https://linktr.ee/stillwill76. I've been on a stream hiatus for a few months now but I'm gonna be coming back on the 29th of November. I'll post more about that soon. I said this before but I hope I can make some new friends here!
Unfortunatly, I’m feeling a bit sluggish tonight so we’ll have to postpone this stream to next Tuesday. Sorry about this.
Stream schedule this week:
Tuesday: Paper Mario at 7:30 pm (CT)
Thursday: Paper Mario at 7:30 pm (CT)
We’re about halfway through the game so we should be done soon!

My in-laws are really cool. They don’t watch anime but they know I watch anime and will get me anime themed gifts for Christmas. Last year, they got me a bunch of One Piece stuff including models of the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny. This year it was figures of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen and Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. I haven’t actually read Tokyo Ghoul yet but it is next on my binge read list. The point is, my in-laws are the coolest and I love them very much. 😊
So this year, we didn’t get as much art as we did last year. For two reasons: 1. We still haven’t hing up all of the art we got last year. 2. My wife and I are currently househunting so there’s not much point in hanging up more art. Anyway, I opted to get figures and other stuff instead!
First up we have figures of Mash Burnedead from Mashle: Magic and Muscles, Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z and, of course, Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach. On top of them is a Mudkip Kirby keychain. My wife got one of Oddish Kirby. Those are our favorite Pokémon. We match!
Next up we have this galaxy cat t-shirt from Tee Turtle. It’s pretty neat. And finally,
This plushie of Porunga from Dragon Ball Z. It’s pretty cool. Hopes for next year (or at least Planet Anime later this year) is to find some Undead Unluck figures. Particularly of Fuuko and Andy. Had a great time.
Reads too much manga. Loves Bleach, One Piece, Pokémon, Kingdom Hearts, and more. Big Nintendo fan. He/him. ASD/ADHD. Ace/demi.
