I really wanted to see Ni No Kuni get some more love. It seemed like a classic case of a game coming out in January and being largely forgotten at GOTY time. I suppose it fell somewhere between the big budget titles and the indie ones, which might have caused it to stand out less. The game just stuck with me the whole year and has had me singing its praises every chance I can get.
I picked up Puppeteer and the new Ratchet and Clank for $20 each. I also grabbed Rayman Legends for $25 and Lego Marvel Superheroes for $30 (both for Wii U).
I am having a massive Dreamcast nostalgia attack at the moment. I have been playing Shenmue and Dynamite Cip over the past few days. Thinking about jumping into some Grandia 2 and Sonic Adventure next.
My biggest problem was always the lack of assurances that I "own" what I purchase. I may not have the rights to give it away to others or mod and sell it, but is it too much to ask to feel confident that I can at least play the single player component of a game years after the fact. I have always taken care of my consoles and they continue to work 20+ years after release. I will buy into a digital future when I don't feel like a game can be so easily taken away.
