The wrestler mask treasure in Wario: Master of Disguise, a clear reference to Suda51's hit video game "Killer7".
Got all treasures in Master of Disguise - sadly, it wasn't very fun. Obnoxious touchscreen controls, a poorly designed hundo, and blowing into the mic to fly was cursed. At least we got Mask de Wario? Mostly speedruns this week, with an epik 1-day casual on Friday. #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday
A happy "The End" in Miyamoto's Pikmin for the Nintendo GameCube.
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
Wario living in his best possible castle, resting up until it's time to boot Master of Disguise.
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
Finished all the 2025 review stuff last week. This pastebin should cover the details of everything (too lazy for a sorted tier list this year): pastebin.com/XxdiwcC3 2026, The Year of No Plans, Good Games Only, and Getting More Sleep, can now finally begin ! ! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
Goemon DS is the last "real" Goemon game before they went full pachinko.
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
Wait a minute... cows can't fly... COWS CAN'T FLY ! !
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
Beating the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster on the hardest difficulty in less than 2 hours, 35 minutes.
Why did this guy get his own cutscene, tho
Got another huge PB in Any% Tactician last week. Will do one more FFTR exclusive week for sub 2:30 before starting Star Ocean First Departure R casual next week. Also, CV64 was a funny game. youtu.be/g1HY2sT4KaI youtu.be/kgQ9an3iU0I #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews #ResonanceOfFateNovember

Platinum Trophy in Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles!
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
Heh, the NPC said a funny thing
Why did the shoe have no name tho
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
Reaching the end of implemented content in Shanghai.EXE :(
Getting a cute stuffed animal at the end of Mega Man ZX!
Shanghai.EXE & Mega Man ZX both finished last week. Shanghai was fantastic until it ran out of content, and ZX had some okay ideas that weren't implemented too great. This week will be MMZX Advent & Final Fantasy Legend 1, then we play FFT Remaster all October! #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
Take it easy!
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
Alice from Shanghai.EXE (the game that will save 2025 first plays) saying she overslept.
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
The entire AI: The Somnium Files trilogy summed up in one picture.
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
I don't know the names of the characters in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, but the GBA version was truly inspirational.
Played through Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon for the GBA last week - it was a surprisingly good game with sick movement and an engaging combat system. This week will be more Aria, and more Castler-adjacent playthroughs (such as Getsu Fuuma Den) #pastebinmonday #ClaudeGameReviews
Jamie from Magical Melody admitting I'm da bes in Harvest Moon: Magical Melody after obtaining all 100 notes.
Indiana Jones from Indiana Jones in the Staff of Kings (Wii) holding the Staff of Kings.
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
Finished Tower of Druaga on Friday. Played completely honest for the first ~20 hours, somewhat honest for the next 10, then p dishonest for the final 2 - but it's done. A truly unforgettable experience - just try everything. www.twitch.tv/claude/clip/... #ClaudeGameReviews #pastebinmonday
Touhou Shoujo Tale of Beautiful Memories - Super Touhou RPG will be played on May 23rd on twitch.tv/rpglimitbreak at approximately 2:30 AM Pacific!
It's official - Super Hunchback is a better game than Mega Man X8. Also, no streams Tues - Fri this week because I'm running Super Touhou RPG at #RPGLB2025 ! ! tracker.rpglimitbreak.com/runs/rpglb2025 FFT birthday rando on Sunday when I get back? #東方少女綺想譚 #pastebinmonday #claudegamereviews
A straight flush in Harvest Moon DS: Cute (technically a royal flush, but the joker didn't count for that).
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
Big the Cat wins by doing nothing.
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
Big the Cat in an Arabian-themed storybook!
A mask of Big the Cat in a medieval-themed storybook!
A monkey (not Big the Cat) enjoying his favorite activity.
Sonic and the Secret Rings & Sonic and the Black Knight had some issues, but ultimately they both referenced Big the Cat, so they were cool. I also caught some monkeys for Metal Gear December :3 This week, I'll be playing Sonic Heroes as my last Christmas game. #ClaudeGameReviews
Lightning is both a princess and a cowboy.
Star Ocean 5 will be great no worries guys.
Cowboy Princess Lightning has saved Termina & ended November. Great game w/ annoying NPC dialogue. Next year, I'll be playing Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness (SO5) AND Star Ocean: First Departure R (SO1 Remaster). tri-Ace owns ! #ResonanceOfFateNovember #ClaudeGameReviews
Texas Hold'em rules make it slightly more probable that you'll make a straight flush. Using any combination of your starting hand and the community cards, you have an 0.0279% chance of making a straight flush in Texas Hold'em. This translates as 3,590-to-1 odds against.
I got all fragments, all trophies, and finished all DLC in Final Fantasy XIII-2 in ~109 hours. Overall, it was a fun hidden object game. Pictured is my straight flush draw - only time I ever got lucky. Lightning Returns starts Tuesday! #ClaudeGameReviews #ResonanceOfFateNovember
Finished my playthrough of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (Special Edition) last week after a quick & easy 92 hours. Was pretty fun to raise a kid, and I enjoyed the game a lot despite the long loads & laggy animations. Harvest Moon DS Cute next year! #ClaudeGameReviews
