We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Review To Bring You CRES Completely Geeking Out Over Fire Emblem.... Again.

Wait, I need to watch this trailer again!

Fire Emblem, via sine fine, facile eunt socii. Umbra labi inhi di villam, aha ast que hasbe est sa. Vera anhamst vera nini, ureni nimuhe. In case you haven't figured it out yet, I am a HUGE Fire Emblem fan. So big that I would begin my blog singing the latin lyrics to the Fire Emblem theme from Smash Bros. And of course, most of you are probably aware about this by now, but Nintendo just had their Nintendo Direct which began with one of the most epic things you can think of, and that is the trailer for the new Fire Emblem game. Currently known as 'Fire Emblem if' in Japan, we still don't have an English title yet as it is currently just referred to as "The Latest in the Fire Emblem Series," which I doubt even Nintendo will go with that name. Though there is a lot of speculation about the plot and setting (most revolving around how it will tie into Awakening given FE's record of having two games set in the same universe), I want to spend this blog talking about what I hope to see in this new game. If you will indulge me in geeking out for a little while.

Crescent's Thoughts On: Nintendo Direct 1/14/15 or FIRE EMBLEM FIRE EMBLEM FIRE EMBLEM FIRE EMBLEM FIRE EMBLEM

HERE'S MY MONEY! HERE'S MY ENTIRE SAVINGS JUST SO I CAN PLAY YOU!

As many of you know, and are probably have already watched by the time this comes out, Nintendo has released it's latest Nintendo Direct. Here they shared a number of new information about upcoming games as well as new trailers for games like Splatoon (which looks interesting), Xenoblade Chronicles X (which I'm already removing money from my bank account just to play), and even the US release date for the New 3DS (Which given that my current 3DS is having trouble charging lately, I might upgrade). If you are interested in anything Nintendo go ahead and check it out (LINK). However, what I want to talk about is the game that started off the Nintendo Direct. A brand new game which doesn't have an actual title yet...... BUT ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT IS FIRE EMBLEM! FIRE FREAKIN' EMBLEM!

Anime Review: Time of Eve the Movie

You know, I some times review something other than a video game. If only I could remember what it was that I also review.... Oh well, I'm sure I will remember it eventually. In the mean time here is a review about a movie that uses the Japanese style of animation. What was that called again? Japanimation? Anyway, Time of Eve was a ONA (Original Net Animation) or a series broadcasted exclusively on video streaming websites. All six episodes of this mini series was simulcasted over on Crunchyroll with English subtitles and was the subject of one of my first Japanimation reviews back when I had a blog over on GameTrailers.com. Now, years later, the series has been adapted into a movie format and with thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, an English dub release has hit US shores. So how is this movie? Read on to find out.

Game Review: Fairune

Action/Puzzle RPG; 3DS eShop; Circle Inc.; 2014

Welcome to the new year..... For some reason it seems just like the old year, except I now have the first stages of a cold. That's the problem with living with others, once one of us gets sick, it is only a matter of time before it makes the rounds. Anyway, this week I'm going to review a small eShop game again (get use to that, there was a lot of games that went on sale over the past few weeks). This time it is Fairune, another game brought to us by our friends at Circle. But how does this adorably retro game hold up? Let's find out.

PS: I know about XSeed registering the title "Lord of Magna" so don't mention that.

Crescent's 2015 Wishlist of things that will NEVER happen

As 2014 closes, we begin to look forward to 2015 and all the new things that are on the horizon. Last week, I went over several of the things I am looking forward to 2015 that will probably happen at some point before the year closes. This week, I'm looking at all the things that I really REALLY wish would happen, but am pretty much resigned to admitting that there is no way in hell it will actually occur in order of most likely of the unlikely to Santa Claus is sooner to be proven to exist than this ever happening. Let's start this boulevard of broken dreams with:

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Crescent's 2015 Wishlist of things that will likely happen

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!

Hi there, sorry for the lack of an update last week. I would like to lie and say that it was because I was getting ready for a Christmas special update.... but that would be a lie. I was just lazy and didn't have any review or post ready to write last week. Truth be told I STILL don't have anything to write this week, which is why I am going to use the end of the year to make up something that vaguely sounds like I'm actually doing some work. With 2014 coming to a close, we now can set our sights on 2015 and all the new games that await us in the coming 365 days, so what do I want to see in 2015? Well, here is a brief list of the things that will most likely happen.
