Today was quite fun with everything that's happened. To start, a friend of mine got invites to an exclusive Club Nintendo convention that allowed members to play with the Wii U and a good amount of games before anyone else, as well as the 3DS XL. I wasn't really wanting to go, but he was into it so I decided to tag along and educate myself on the system :P.

We got on the highway to the next city and talked a lot, nice conversation :). Halfway there, he wanted me to play his copy of Theatrhythm (FF music/rhythm game), so I gave it a shot, and I have to say, it's fun. I still prefer Elite Beat Agents, that was fantastic, but Theatrhythm is also quite good, great tracks and some fun gameplay. However, the leveling up seems a bit pointless, and it's fairly simplified throughout, at least to me it is, and that detracts from the experience. I'd still recommend the game though ;).

We got to the city a few hours early, so we walked around a shopping district and hung out looking through stores. I spotted an old-timey burger place, and being the huge fan of burgers that I am, we ate there :P (of course he was craving a burger as well). I got a bacon cheeseburger with some barbeque ranch sauce (yum) and sweet potato fries (YUM). Finished that off with an oreo shake :D. I rarely go all out on food like that, but it was a fun outing and the next time I'll get to do something like go to another city with a friend isn't anytime soon, so why not? $15 for me, took care of the tip as well.

Full of food, we made our way to the car about 25 blocks away :P. Got to the convention, stood in line with other 'nerds' as my friend put it, as he was ready to 'nerd it up.' Sure why not? :P Watched as he got a hell of a lot of street passes on his 3DS, then we went inside.

I could care less about the other games that were in there, there was only one game I wanted to play: ZombieU. I watched a bit, but a contest was called for New Super Mario Bros. U. It was a speed run of a quick stage, I chose to run while my friend tapped enemies. We both messed up and lost :lol:.

Went back to the ZombieU area, which had thinned out by now, as well as Ninja Gaiden 3 (which didn't look as bad as GS said it did, but then again what do I know?). The guy there helped me learn the controls and told me where to go. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the gameplay. Whoever said switching between the screen and the controller was seemless was stupid. Hard to survive when you're looking back and forth :roll:, and the inventory system could be...bigger, can't really hold a lot. The gameplay also felt lackluster, not too much to it, but then again it was demo-ish. It was doable, and a good game, but not awesome. I think I'm spoiled by Left 4 Dead, the pinnacle of zombie games :P.

My friend was ready to leave after watching Pikmin 3 and Rayman Legends. I saw people playing Wario and Game (working title), didn't really get it.I dunno, the Wii U in general seems overly complicated to me, and while I could get used to it, motion controls still get boring after awhile...

Overall, fun night, but what was the best game today?

That's right, the one I didn't intend to play. Gotta hand it to Square Enix for branching out with various titles, and this one worked for me. Not the next greatest FF title by any means, but still very fun ;). Anyways that was my day, thanks for reading :).
