So I, uh… was supposed to upload this on Saturday. The culprit is Resident Evil 2, a game which I began playing in my pajamas first thing just like I was a kid again. While I would take breaks here and there throughout my day, a large percentage of my waking hours were spent sneaking around Raccoon City police station installing bullets into the knee caps of zombies. As you’ve no doubt heard, the remake is a pretty good game! I do have my gripes, however, and if I can get my head sorted maybe I can return to actually writing about games again.

As for the rest of 2019, it turns out Steve and I could not predict Nintendo’s confession that development on Metroid Prime 4 had been troubled and that they were starting over from scratch. I do not begrudge Nintendo this difficult choice, nor will I use this spot to entertain rumors of the development process or completed ports. I would rather not wait until 2022 for a new Metroid, but if I must, then I shall.

Steve and I certainly discuss plenty of other games worth looking forward to, however, though I forgot to mention a potential monster of a release scheduled for this summer: Shenmue III. While I’ve always had a curiosity for the game, I did not have a Dreamcast at the time of its release nor did I get the opportunity to play the Xbox port. I’d love to go back and see what everyone is so excited about, but unfortunately I just might not have the time. As such, it was missed on our list.

What games are you looking forward to playing in 2019? Please comment on the Facebook page or e-mail ramblepak64 at gmail dot com with your thoughts, and maybe we’ll read them on the show.
