This is now out for Wii.

I hadn't turned on the Wii in about a year until tonight. I discovered that I already had enough points for this game, and then I remembered that I had added those points specifically for this game way back when it was originally supposed to be released.

I haven't played this before in any form. I'm intimidated by the rumors of its difficulty, but that was also the case with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls (even after I had played Demon's), and those ended up becoming some of my very favorite games.

I've beaten three guardians now. I like this game a lot.

Although some of the puzzles are kind of ridiculous and would require a lot of aimless wandering without using a guide (reminds me of attempting to burn every bush and bomb every rock in Zelda 1), I'm trying not to spoil too much for myself because it's great to stumble upon a puzzle solution or a new area. I felt the same way about Demon's and Dark Souls.

I had wanted to get the double jump so that I could get that program that lets you teleport to the alternate areas. There were so many steps involved that I lost track of them. By the time I got the feather, I had forgotten that was my goal.

I got impatient on that Anubis miniboss and used all my pistol ammo. I hope that's not something I'll regret later. I had planned to use chakrams, but I was out and couldn't find any. I'd have been more careful with them had I realized they were so scarce.

This game is $3 right now on Steam (until September 23), for anyone still on the fence who might be swayed at this price.
