Death Stranding, Overwatch, Monster Hunter 3U.

Death Stranding because I'm not going to subject anyone to Kojima's brand of technobabble and self-fellation combined with a (admittedly fairly deep mechanically) walking simulator.

Overwatch because an FPS/MOBA combination has to be doing some actual damage to my psyche, and also it's just a hard sell to start with because of obvious reasons.

MH3U because it's only available on the 3DS and Wii U and it's the last really slow MH of the pre-World MHs. On 3DS it has no online play, and the Wii U servers have been taken down. It's the last MH before they introduced the mobility additions and improvements from 4 that made combat more fluid and fast, and before World introduced the system that basically finds the monster for you, as well as making mat gathering much more easy and less tedious.

EDIT: ooh for something that's more 'obscure jank' I just remembered I LOVED Phantom Breaker on the 360. It was a fighting game by 5pb/Mages that had a split style system. You had to choose between 'Quick' and 'Hard' where one was fast/felt more rushdown-y and the other was slower/felt more defensive. The game was super flashy because you would constantly clash, and meter built really fast WHILE ALSO CARRYING OVER BETWEEN ROUNDS which led to wild round start set-ups. This clip from will it kill is from the newer version but it's fucking hilarious.

FYI 3U servers have not gone down on Wii U (I played hours ago) and I'd be down to play it if you're interested sometime soon before the April 8th Nintendo network shutdown on Wii U (Pretendo + other work will hopefully replace it after that)

This offer also stands for MHG, MHDos, MHFU/2G, and 4U

Oh, I must have misread. That's good to hear then.

Unfortunately I don't have a Wii U, I played through 3U mostly solo on the 3ds, but thank you for the invite.
