Link's uncle! From A Link to the Past.

The game starts with him leaving their house like this, then you find him later in the castle sewers:

I replayed Galaxy sometime around 2020 and had a lot of fun doing so. I remember liking this one quite a lot. It was also fun to let my kid who was around 5 at the time hold a remote to help collect stars.

I’m… reasonably sure I played Galaxy 2 as well but my memory of that iteration is almost completely blank.

brsrklf,

I prefer the first one to be honest.

2 botches things that worked very well before. Especially the camera that did a good job of always being in the right place in 1, but in 2 you suddenly have crazy angles and blind spots that play against you. This can’t even be explained by more complex level design, so who knows what happened.

Also they got rid of the hub for a small, disturbing looking ship and a very generic map, and they killed any trace of story. Those were two things that really set Galaxy 1 apart IMO.

On the new side of things, there were Yoshi, with different powers, and more challenges (but they kind of feel repetitive, because you end up needing to do the same things with just an additional timer or enemy etc…). And the last stars were quite a bit harder than anything in Galaxy.

That sounds about right. I feel like it played more like an expansion than an outright new game. I do remember banging my head against some of those tougher levels now.

Galaxy 2 always blinks in my memory because i’ll always blend it and 1 together. It’s very much Galaxy 1’s sequel

Is this the Zelda - Aqua Teen Hunger Force crossover I've been waiting for?

I had Galaxy 1 and 2, the music is to die for. Both soundtracks are amazing. Beat them both!

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I keep a playlist of video game music to listen too while i work, and it’s soundtrack is on there for a decent chunk of the playlist. It’s so good.

victorz,

Yeah, I downloaded all those OSTs from YouTube to keep on disk and play via Spotify.

Also they’re available in Nintendo’s music app for on-the-go listening. 😁

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I ripped all of them i could and put them on a Jellyfin server for listening. It really is nice, i also keep them burnt to CDs though just as back up because for some reason where i live still doesn’t have constant coverage

I just assumed his sleeping quarters were where he worked, possibly at the castle.

This is a great question! A few from the top of my head:

The original Assassin’s Creed: I would never have the patience to play something like this on my PC. It is too repetitive and basic for me to enjoy while the rest of my PC is available. On Steam Deck though, I loved playing this in bed as a way to turn my mind off and just enjoy a simple story / game. I had a similar experience with the 2008 Prince Of Persia reboot. I 100% completed both, something I would never do on PC or TV console.

Undertale I also enjoyed way more during my second playthrough on Steam Deck. I think it has something to do with being fully immersed and again, playing from the comfort of my bed.

Also Slay The Spire, I got reasonably into it on a pirated copy on PC, then played it for hundreds of hours on the switch, then finally got a steam deck and it was the first game I bought for it, now sitting at 700h on Steam alone. So I went from piracy to actually owning the game twice :).

Any visual novel like Steins;Gate, Zero Escape series, Danganronpa… I would never be able to complete these games on PC or console.

What I notice, is that longer games mostly only work for me portably, because of the way you can sneak in extra hours on a portable machine. Time spent playing on TV or PC is always quite scheduled, and I often feel like I don’t want to waste it on a single experience for too long.

Galaxy is so great. Good flow, good looking, excellent music with a mix of epic and ambient… And a new character that got more personality from a short story and a couple dialogues than any character from the series ever had.

Too bad they never really knew what to do with her after that. Except Ubisoft with Mario + Rabbids 2, but… Meh.

Good point about the music, it really was quite memorable!

It sucks how little they’ve used her. It feels like theres more they could have done outside of galaxy, even not in a starring role

brsrklf,

Yeah, completely. Pauline’s got her time in the limelight right now, between Odyssey and DK Bananza, but Rosalina was just relegated to “bonus Peach clone that can do a swirl attack” in 3D World, and that’s basically it.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

My controversial Mario takes is that i don’t really care for Pauline. I don’t hate her, but i also can’t find it in me to get excited about her either. But yeah, Rosalina really has been a extra peach clone for the most part which is a shame

I know it is a bit of a silly answer but here we go:

My brother had installed a game-boy emulator on the family PC when my parents had prohibited gameboys from the house. My older siblings bought some though and hid them, but i was too young for that. (They also didn’t tell me).

Anyways, so at the time Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire was the hot shit. I played Ruby on the emulator and i loved it. There was just one problem. The “nebula” animation that is transparent in the gameboy version was solid in the emulator. When i entered a cave i had to find a way to pass it blindly. This was before we had proper internet access at home, so i couldn’t look up the cave layout.

I had to gave up after the second gym or so. When i got older and my grandma bought me a gameboy, i played Ruby like crazy as i finally could progress.

Played a few of the lego games with my kids, like avengers and Harry potter. They have heaps of save points and were easy enough for my 5yr old to get through but still fun for me as well.
