I wish the game had this story.

8-Bit Chronicles: Mario Bros. (Hey Poor Player)
I'll reiterate this when I finish playing catch up, but for reasons previously elaborated, I had to step away from the blog for the sake of my health. A clearer vision awaits me now, so look forward to our discussion.

Crypt of the Necrodancer: Cadence of Hyrule Review (Hey Poor Player)
This review represents a shift of direction for my writing career: from now on, you can expect reviews of newer Nintendo games to exclusively feature on Hey Poor Player. Aside from huge games in the vein of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I wanted to evaluate new releases some time after release for two reasons:
1) To accommodate DLC updates in gameplay additions and polishing; therefore, I'd analyze the game in its final, truest vision.
2) To allow my opinion to settle and percolate after launch, letting it evolve past the honeymoon phase.
With my recent decision to scale back reviews here, however, I've recognized this is the most vital step into blossoming as a proper game journalist. For far too long I've neglected to cover newer releases as I've silently pursued ambitious goals for the sake of writing for myself. I simply work far more diligently under journalistic obligations, and with the evidence lying within my Hey Poor Player output, I'd like to think things can only go up from here.

And yes, this means the Nintendo pages in my reviews sections here will be updated accordingly. I'll be working on that over the next month, so stay tuned.
The Promised Neverland Vol. 10 Review (Hey Poor Player)
VIZ remains occupied with their summer convention duties, so we're behind yet again on our manga review coverage. I've offered to request this month's titles as well, so hopefully we'll get back on track soon.

Super Mario Maker 2 Story Mode Guide (Hey Poor Player)
This guide's also been a huge source of stress lately, as when considering everything I've had to juggle I've been forced to restrict my Super Mario Maker 2 playtime to the Story Mode. I figured with everyone and their mom having Beginner's Guides out at release, it'd be more beneficial to focus on the campaign, but now I fear I'll neglect it like the original...
There's also some behind-the-scenes stuff going on I'm not happy about, but sadly, I can't get into that.
My Hero Academia Vol. 19 Review (Hey Poor Player)
Viz's convention duties have us a month behind on manga reviews, so I've been stressing out a little. Does it show in the article?

Komi Can't Communicate Vol. 1 Review (Hey Poor Player)
Article Here
Another new manga! I rather enjoyed this one, so expect reviews up to at least the third volume. (Update: Or not -- delays and whatnot got in the way.)
