Garfield’s A Tail of Two Kitties
(Nintendo DS) Gameplayhttps://youtu.be/DDduDhxHkvc It’s Garfield, jumping around in the big city (London), and collecting food, in this boring platformer for the DS. Platforming is pretty much all you’ll be doing here. All platforms, all the time!

Garfield (Konami LCD Handheld) Gameplay Complete
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd6AUHt-hjo Konami’s LCD handheld games were better than those by Tiger Electronics, although that’s a very low bar. They do at least have their own unique gamefeel, even compared to those by Nintendo and Bandai. Here’s a complete playthrough of “Garfield.”Post link
Space Channel 5: Ulala’s Cosmic Attack
(Art Co., Ltd / Sega - Game Boy Advance - 2003)
Wanna know some of the reasons why playing as a prowler is awesome??
- No stamina gauge/management
- No need for items or pouch management
- No need for pickaxes, nets, rods, nor will they break
- No need for hot/cold drinks or taking damage from hot/cold environs
- No need for whetstones or sharpening
- No need to upgrade armor or weapons
- No need for paintballs as monsters are always dispalyed
So here’s my question…
Why in the world did you NOT scale the prowlers for G Rank, Capcom??????
Here’s to hoping Prowler Mode returns some day and Capcom actually does it right (smhhhh).
Went to the training grounds in World and practiced the Long Sword combos. I’m beginning to understand the combos, their transitions, and the overall concept of LS: spin to win Spirit Roundslash to Spirit Gauge level x. (And the basic Fade Slash combo lets you skip Spirit Blade attacks 1 & 2 to go straight to 3 and then into Roundslash.) I still have a lot to learn but it’s starting to make sense. And World is further aging GenU into eventual retirement for me. Infinitely looping attacks, combos, 1:1 actions upon button press, and the lack of long pauses in attack animations adds to Long Sword’s graceful fluidity in World. The same weapon in GenU is a clunky thing that requires one to “dial in” attack commands - an old, draconian style of gameplay I’ve never liked (even if it was rooted in hardware limitations back in the day).
The other day, I said GS was my new muse - I lied. The trip stick Long Sword has taken me. Part of my adoration for SA is the weapon’s inherent duality: mobile, less powerful axe/less mobile, more powerful sword. LS is very similar in that regard: land regular, less powerful attacks to build up more powerful Spirit Gauge attacks. Also similar to SA, LS has a very nice, almost rhythmic “dance” about it while maneuvering around monsters. Finished maxing out a crit armor set and the Silverwind (why not?) LS and it’s been a blast! I might even pick up LS in World I’m enjoying it so much in Gen Ultimate. GenU: SA (retired), LBG, LS. World: SA, LS soon, and probably Bow down the line.

So, as of yesterday it’s official: I can no longer play Switch Axe in Generations. Actually, I can - I just don’t care to. World’s heavily refined and improved iteration of my favorite weapon of all-time has spoiled me and ruined my pre-World SA repertoire and I have no desire to go back to it. GenU’s SA is a wet noodle, in comparison. And while I’ve grown quite fond of my Silverwind LBG and the gunning style of gameplay, I’ve acquired a new love in GenU: the one and only Great Sword. You can’t get any more “Monster Hunter” than the GS: the original big boy of pain. It’s so satisfying to crunch body parts… I’ve sorely missed lobbing off tails. (It’s what I live for.) GenU? GS/LBG. Everything else? Switch Axe for life.
