[Let’s Talk] The Game Awards 2020 reaction

Posted on December 12, 2020 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk

The Game Awards 2020 is officially in the books. This year’s show aired on Thursday, featuring the latest game reveals, announcements, and of course, actual awards.

Each year we’re always curious what Nintendo will bring to the table as you can never really guess. This time around, the Big N only really had one announcement: that being Sephiroth coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Capcom actually had quite a bit of Switch news to share between Ghosts ‘N Goblins Resurrected, Capcom Arcade Stadium, and Monster Hunter Rise (which got a new trailer and upcoming demo). There were a few other Switch announcements with Sea of Solitude: The Director’s Cut, Shady Part of Me, Endless Dungeon, and Evil Dead: The Game.

We’re a couple of days removed from The Game Awards, so what’d you think of the show? How did you feel about the announcements and winners? Let us know in the comments below.

Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – December 2020

Playing Dark Arms: Beast Buster on my NGPC right now. It’s a pretty cool game where you can kill monsters and take their soul basically and feed it to your guns/weapons to evolve them. It’s not a necessarily difficult game but it can be a little obtuse at times. Plus, some weapons can get very overpowered making certain bosses kinda irrelevant. But yeah it’s a really cool game and I’m loving playing it on original hardware.

I also got Earthworm Jim for the GBA coming in the mail next week so that’ll be fun to return to. I’m trying to get into the Gunstar Heroes games so I’ll probably pick up Gunstar Super Heroes for the GBA as well. Also I’m trying to find Metal Slug 2nd Mission for the NGPC at a cheap price but so far every copy I’ve found has been ridiculously priced.

Still waiting for my copy of Age of Calamity. I was going to ask for Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Bubble Bobble the Baron is Back for the Holidays but decided to get then myself at a later time. Also one of them is hard to get at the moment.

Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, and Fire Emblem Awakening.
