Final Fantasy Adventure was alright - was cool to see where the Mana series began, but it definitely had a lot of repetitive combat & uninspired dungeons. This week we'll play another Shantae game (it'll be great...), then more FFT routing + Aria of Sorrow prac #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Hundo'd the Remaster last week - it was okay. Obviously there were many changes I disliked, but it's always fun to have a new version of FFT to play. Wrote up my current thoughts here: pastebin.com/Yhk7FTTt Speedrun routing this week. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #FFTIC

Shanghai.EXE has been great so far - feels like the quintessential Battle Network experience. Should be able to finish it up tomorrow or Wednesday. After that will be more Mega Man fun with ZX & ZX Advent. Only 15 more days until FFT Remaster... #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Sonic Heroes was alright, but having to play the game 4x to win was unfortunate. Pictured is Big the Cat winning a mission in 5 seconds because his opponents fell through the floor. Tomorrow is Goemon Uchuu & Goemon Ooedo for Dick Claude's New Year's Rockin' Eve! #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

Finally played Floigan Bros, it was (mostly) a masterpiece. Also got a 22 in Princess NES All Levels, that run wasn't a masterpiece and I'll try to improve it this week. I think the CV64 Carrie race with LCC is happening this Wednesday? Guess we'll see... #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

Holiday Sonics have concluded - enjoyed Sonic 1, Sonic Advance 3, and Sonic 3D Blast. Started Wario Land: Shake It! on Thursday, that game's fantastic. Should finish up the hundo tomorrow, then we'll journey through Goemon DS for New Year's Eve. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Finished up the Mega Man Zero series last week. MMZ3 had some nice collectible stuff, but lacked a bit in level design. MMZ4 had cool bosses, but needed GameFAQs to fully enjoy it. This week will be the yearly Touhou fangame first play - let's jack in ! ! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

PSX week was kind of a blowup between Croc 2 & Legacy of War being so bad, but at least The Contra Adventure was funny. This week will be Final Fantasy Legend II 1st play for SaGa September. FFT route is also coming along - but what was this Undead Archer cooking? #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Finished the Breath of Fire III, wrote some quick thoughts on it here: pastebin.com/MfxN9ZBF Truly, it was the sequel to BoF2. This week we'll do Prin Prin NES Any% + some type of casual game, and then on Friday we'll do the yearly FFT Randomizer - oh BOY! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Played through Pikmin 1 for the first time in 20 years last week - had a great time, Miyamoto cooked hard for sure. Felt like the way I approached the game was pretty funny. This week will be more Prin Prin, more KSS forever prac, and a Lost Vikings 1 playthrough. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Played through Milano's Odd Job Collection last week, an official localization of a 1999 PS1 game. It's cute for sure, but it suffers a lot from lack of content and replay value. This week will be more 2D Sonic 1st plays, and more Mask RTA. #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

Spent the past 2 months working through all three AI: The Somnium Files games (offline). Pretty interesting series, liked it a lot more than the Zero Escape trilogy. This week will be Aria runs for 26 (real), and more CV-esque playthroughs (and Astro Boy) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Wonder Trek is a good game that could've been a great game, Fire 'N Ice is a great NES puzzler that I still need to finish, Breath of Fire III 1st time starts tomorrow, and I got a 22:18 in Prin Prin NES All Levels. Next speed will be Prin NES Any%, KSS, maybe FFT? #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Played Tomba! 2 last week - was an interesting game with a lot of cool components, but also a lot of awkward & questionable design decisions. As a whole, idk if the series ever knew what it wanted to be. This week will be mostly JuNES stuff, feat. Sword Master RTA #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

Hundo'd Magical Melody after about 80 hours - was questionably worth it, but still had fun. Also played two versions of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, was funny. This week will be Aria of Sorrow derust + Castler-adjacents, maybe MMZ1 #pastebinmonday #claudegamereviews

Finally hit my goal in Sword Master (was retimed to a 5:39.8). Opted to dial back strats a bit in favor of getting luckier. Banjo Xbox was neat, Billy Hatcher was jank but fun. This week we return to Harvest Moon with Tree of Tranquility for the Nintendo Wii . . . #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

ZX Advent turned out alright - def improved on a lot of ZX's issues. FFL1, however, was phenomenal - how can a 1989 Game Boy game be that good? Tomorrow (and all of October) is FFT Remaster - expect many long streams filled with complaining... #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #SaGa2025

Played through 100% of Wario World last week. Interesting game - was cool to move Wario in 3D, but the excessive combat (a Treasure staple) was definitely taxing at times. This week will be more Prin Prin, more KSS derust, and 1 or 2 more casuals (probably PSX?) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews

I've streamed two DS casual playthroughs on real hardware now (Super Princess Peach & Harvest Moon DS: Cute), and sadly both had the same issue - good ideas ruined by repetitive filler content. At least I got another straight flush :) Speedruns this week! #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday

Played a Super Mario Bros. 2 romhack last week called "Return to Subcon 2 - The Nova Project", and thought it was exceptionally well done - a fun & unique test of both game knowledge & platforming ability. For the stream this week, it'll just be more JuNES stuff. #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
