I didn’t play much in the way of games yesterday. Colette and I team-smashed a little in Brawl. Colette’s a SOLDIER with Kirby now. Ever since the original Super Smash Bros., I didn’t know anyone could use Kirby like that anymore. She’s proven me wrong.

I started the first case in Apollo Justice on the DS. It’s my first time playing any games in the Ace Attorney series, but it seems perfectly tailored for mobile gaming on the DS.

I played a decent amount of Smash Bros. Brawl last night. I played through about 1/3 of the “break the targets” levels for all the characters. I don’t know what to think about the new Targets mode. On one hand, it’s far less frustrating than the old mode in Melee where you had to get the group total down to like 10 minutes or something. But on the other, it’s way more repetitive, since each character plays the same Target stages, levels 1 through 3. I dunno, maybe level 4 (which is unlocked through some means I haven’t discovered yet, probably beating level 3 with each character) holds unique stages for each. I hope so.

I also played the Home Run Contest mode a little bit, too. With maybe 6 or 7 characters. I like it somewhat more than Melee, since there’s a sort of invisible “shell” around the platform that prevents you from accidentally tapping the sandbag off the edge. Again, Yoshi can dominate this game, but I did pretty well with Ness, too.

Then Colette and I played Team Brawl mode for a while. It’s more fun when I get her to play. She liked Melee, but had yet to play Brawl with me. Of course she only uses the “cutest” characters, so that limits which characters she’ll use. But she can definitely dominate with Kirby.

I picked up Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney today used. My next update will likely contain some of that.
