 So, what happened with Jeanne D'Arc? Pokemon Omega Ruby happened. It's funny, because I'm not even having fun anymore, but the collector in me compels me to fill that 'Dex. Goddammit. Xenoverse was pretty disappointing, I knew the last-gen port was gonna be gimped in some way, but the framerate issues really hurt it, specially since it forces you into fights with more than 2 fighters. And then there's the fact that the grind-heavy gameplay isn't very fun, I gave up after three days of grinding for the last Dragon Ball, it's the only DBall game in which I haven't unlocked everything, but between the framerate and the grind... I just got annoyed.


 Game of March:
 UNIE:L is amazing. No, really. I like how it's a completely new IP with a completely new cast of characters, I love how easy it is to get into it. It's not perfect though, it could've used some kind of tutorial, and since it cares so much about story... how about some sort comprehensive story mode or an encyclopedia to cover all the terms it uses? At least, all the things it's missing are somewhat fluff when it comes to a fighter!


 Runner-up:
 Tomba! was pretty flippin' good. Tomba! 2 is flippin' awesome. I mean, the worst thing I can say about it is that it's a tiny bit too much like the first one, but when the first one is so good... 'tis not such a bad thing I tell ya. The Tomba! franchise, while short-lived, is excellent, it's a great blend of Metroidvania with Adventure elements that makes both games quite unique.
