Megaman X: Zero Reminds us of our Self-Esteem



"Zero quickly puts his skills to good use, pushing back against the Neo Arcadians and making life better for humanity. As Zero grows accustomed to his new life, he takes up the fight once more. He opens up, getting to know and learning to trust his new friends, almost like a family. This is the place where he belongs, because he is needed and valued. It doesn’t matter if he still struggles to believe in himself, because now he believes in them. And that belief, that selflessness, grants peace of mind. Self-loathing is still self-oriented. It’s one thing to accept your flaws, but it’s another thing entirely to let them go and to be what other people need you to be."

IMO, Zero is a great character to choose and then only say you're examining MegamanX where he saves blue Megaman at the first and only story part of the game. If Zero seems like he doubts himself, how much more blue megaman, right? No, wrong. Way wrong. Blue megaman is the least doubtful character in the Megaman series. Not because he loses at the beginning of MegamanX but because he is a video game character. Even if you, the player, lost.


"You will start over with Blue Megaman and in fact, many experienced gamers have attested to being super able to beat that one Sigma prototype (even on the first play), the new creation of Dr. Wily flinging itself from an unbelievable fleet craft, and so only then... would not need Zero's help.



Maybe we got more emotional (together) in our Megaman X, Let's Play episode ^

Super Mario RPG Nostalgia!!!

Remember that game that came out somewhere after the mid-1990's that sold out at Funcoland and was always missing at Blockbuster when you went to rent it?

That game was most likely Super Mario RPG or SMRPG for short! Whether or not you were about 9 or 10 back than is different though. What most people agree on is that SMRPG was a hit and one of the best Mario games that has ever came out, at least until the Nintendo Gamecube was released...

The Secret Boss, Culex


The Toadstools that were hypnotized by Davey Jones, the Pirate Boss from the bottom of the ocean...



SMRPG box art!!!


So Smithy and the gang take over Bowsers Keep


...and Mario gets along with Bowser!!!


The Protagonists of  SMRPG fan art!

One of the cult-fan bases that started was for Geno fans. Geno's character was actually more important than one may think, at least contrary to the first time you played as a kid (if the first time that you played SMRPG was as a child). Geno was special because he knew who Smithy was before the story even began and was the only good guy that came from the same Super-Universe as Smithy... to help Mario and his friends!



SMRPG good guys and bad guys
Another new character to SMRPG was Mallow who believed that he was a frog. Though he looked like a cloud and was plagued with self-doubt over the whole appearance-doesn't-match-my-soul thing, until Mario with Mallow's help, discovered his home was in the clouds... Even after Mallow found out he was from a land in the sky, he never gave up on his identity as a frog...

The SMRPG world map.
No matter how many times I've played SMRPG, the SMRPG world always seems to take more or a lot less time. Sometimes I think it's going to take forever and it goes by really fast or I'm going to breeze through it and it takes longer than I thought haha :D

A GIF for Geno!




Fanart of Mario and Princess Peach



Super Mario RPG and the Seven Stars

 Even if they release five more FF or KH games, I'll still probably be always loyal to the SMRPG title. Without SMRPG, Square and Enix wouldn't have learned enough to continue making good games in their other long runners like FF or KH.

RPG trivia: Materials and their meanings

RPG trivia

Materials and their meanings

Wood - Usually the first tool of the game. Types of games use wood at first to compare with the advanced material tools that the higher level knights and warriors use. Kind of as if we all started off with a stick or a bokken.


Bronze/Iron - Common tools use these elements and alloy. They won't fare against a strong bad guy or the final boss.


Silver/myrithril - That's what's in treasure chest no. 8888. The myrithril in pleated sheets that almost always has to be brought to the next town, so a new tool can be forged. They're usually found in the deepest forest or a dead end of a dungeon. Always call a party member before setting out to find myrithril, it is a difficult impossible journey.

Mystery Accessories - Same as myrithril but these can be equipped like charms, in good fashion. Think about it, fashion can also be charming and beat the bosses? Well in the alluring world of the RPG... maybe your world in .addition.

Miitomo - My New Addiction

Last week, I tried out Miitomo. It was released by Nintendo on March 16th, but I just heard about it through Facebook around two weeks ago from my friends. I decided to see what it was just for fun. It looked harmless...
 It started off with creating my Mii. I love anything with character creations, no matter how simple or complicated it is. The differences with this Mii and the one on the 3DS is that these Miis have QR Codes so you can share your Mii with others and they have voices.
Once that was finished, I was given Miitomo coins and Game Tickets. It was pretty obvious the Miitomo coins were for shopping, but since I was still exploring, I had no idea there was a game called Miitomo Drop until I accidentally tapped one of the Drops. It was a fun little game that reminded me of Plinko from Price is Right, but instead of winning more Miitomo coins, you get candy or a special item of the Drop's Theme, like cats, food, ninjas...things like that. 

After I got some nice clothes for my Mii, I started answering questions from my Mii's friends. Some are between two Miis, but most of the questions are shared with all friends. You can send your Mii to a friend's or your friends will just randomly visit you. I had one friend visit about four times in a row. 
 My favorite thing on Miitomo is taking pictures with Miifoto. I think I enjoy that more than answering questions, really. There's all kinds of backgrounds and poses to choose from, so it takes time to pick the one I want at that moment and if it looks cool with my outfit. I have at least three that I switch though. You can also add stickers, fonts or frames to the Miifotos or even the Miis of your friends.





See? I love taking pictures of my Mii. This is only a pinch of what I actually have. >.>;;

In my opinion, the only downside is that there's not many questions. I've gone through all of them already. I actually finished answering all of them about two days ago, but I still go on every day for more Miifotos. I really am addicted... ^^;;
Interested in being Mii friends? Add me on Twitter!

Welcome to
The Otaku Reviewers



This blog, "The Otaku Reviewers", was started in February of 2010 on this very same platform, Blogger. At first, it was a venture into the informational and informal world of comics, anime, video games, and Japanese culture. In other words, just a random blog.

Over time, the founder of the blog credited with the pseudonym "RPGhero" was joined by two fellow bloggers and friends with the names "Chansu" and "Deretsun". Together the three bloggers looked up interesting Japanese culture facts, recommended new anime, talked about their own "otaku" interests, and traveled across the United States to various anime conventions.

There have been off periods when the blog ceased production of content and there have been times when there would be dozens of blog posts per week. The schedule varies depending on the lives of the people behind the alias'. However the pattern is that we always get back into the game with even newer information about Japanese culture, anime, video games, and other nerdy hobbies.

The motto of our blog is:
"A cure for your apathy and an inspiration for your dreams. ...Applies to Otaku, anime fans, J-pop junkies, and the like"

The purpose is to blog about cool stuff related solely to anime and otaku stuff. There's no other reason we're doing this.

If you like our blog, please support us in however small a way that you would like. We appreciate our readers!

Check it out on Amazon!
