[Nester the Lark]

Wow, these are actually pretty hard. I'm kind of afraid to try answering them. Would you be offended if I got a lot of them wrong?

I suppose I could try doing a search on the forum, but that feels a little like cheating.

I've only come up with about a dozen questions for my quiz. I want them to be fairly unique to me, but not too obscure.

[nocturnal YL]

I actually made this with the expectation that you'll search around. Not just this site, either. And even so, I expect you or anyone else to get most of these wrong, even for things I mentioned directly in this forum.

Some of these questions are about things I've done on other sites, too (e.g. Q17, Q32). And some are more about deducing facts about me than me having mentioned the answer directly (e.g. Q18, Q29). There are also questions that are simply about me off-handedly commenting on what I like and dislike, and answers cannot be found in a single place (e.g. Q25, Q26).

But don't worry too much about being wrong. I don't expect you to follow every single thing I mentioned in the past 20 years. This is less of an exam and more of an excuse to (re-)introduce more trivia about myself. This is also why I don't have open-ended questions for the most part; I expect you to make educated guesses or even wild guesses.

I look forward to your questions too.

[Nester the Lark]

OK, I got a little lazy with this because it started to feel like I was taking a college exam.

(1) False? Not sure, but just guessing.

(2) True? Just a guess, but it seems like something you might have.

(3) True? I know you're not a PC guy, but I can see you at least trying something like this.

(4) False? Just a guess, but I'm not aware of you having any interest in Xbox.

(5) True. I think you've said that with Fire Emblem, you care more about the story, but I think that's the exception.

(6) False? Just guessing, but the general consensus is that Ephraim's route has more interesting level design.

(7) False? The word “always” is throwing me off here. In general, it's true, but didn't you recently say you let it slide?

(8) False? No idea.

(9) True. I know how thorough you are and that you like to use guides.

(10) True? This is such a specific question that it would be really random if it were false. (Also, is it Excitebike: World Rally?)

(11) Four Swords Adventures. It's the odd one, so I'll guess that.

(12) Black? No idea.

(13) Aqua Blue? Wild guess.

(14) Cobalt Blue? Again, completely blind guess.

(15) Sunshine? I think I remember you complaining about that one more than the others.

(16) F-Zero GX. You don't seem like an F-Zero fan.

(17) No idea. I'm sure you have it posted around here somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

(18) Metal Slug Advance? I think you mentioned missing that one.

(19) Vah Ruta? Can't find if you talked about it, but I think Vah Ruta is probably most people's first since that's what the game steers you towards.

(20) No clue.

(21) I'll guess Fusion, Samus Returns and Dread.

(22) Couldn't even begin to guess.

(23) Blind guess: Gex 64, Gex 3, Bomberman 64, Chameleon Twist 2, Lode Runner 3D, and Wetrix.

(24) No idea.

(25) I would guess mostly physical options, but don't know about exceptions.

(26) Partial guess: Fire Emblem Awakening, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, and Rune Factory 4.

(27) Another I can't begin to guess.

(28) GCN-GBA Link cable and GBA Player?

(29) Groove Coaster, Mario Kart, and Taiko no Tatsujin?

(30) I'm not even going to try this one.

(31) Super Mario Bros., TwinBee, and City Connection?

(32) Joy-Con? I think you said you preferred the separate directional buttons to a D-pad.

(33) Wii?

(34) Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3... Just kidding. Don't know.

(35) Segagaga?

(36) Six. I actually looked this up.

(37) Flash, I think?

(38) 2017?

(39) Don't know.

(40) Kirby?

I'm still working on my quiz. I want it to have a good 20 questions, but I'm having trouble coming up with good ideas.

[nocturnal YL]

Given that you said it's difficult, you're actually surprisingly good at this!

I have a standard answer guide ready, but since you've stated the reasoning behind your answers, I think I'd give a tailored reply.


First off, the answers. To anyone else interested in the quiz, don't peek!

SPOILER: Click to show

True or false questions

(1) I have finished at least one Metroid Prime game.

False. I have Metroid Prime 3, but I stopped at the Ghor fight around halfway through the game.

(2) Outside of the Game & Watch Gallery series, I have played other Game & Watch games.

True. Besides emulation, I also have a Mini Classic for Super Mario Bros.

(3) I once tried playing a PC title from a major PC game publisher.

True. The game is Team Fortress 2, which I got when the game went free-to-play. I didn't actually go online, though. I only tried playing against bots.

(4) I tried my hand on an Xbox console at some point.

False. To date I have yet to play on Xbox.

(5) For the most part, I am a gameplay-first person; things like graphics and story come second to that.

False. I would more readily forgive gameplay design flaws than bad story or presentation.

(6) In Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, I prefer Eirika's route over Ephraim's.

True. I like both routes, but I see Eirika as the overall main character, being the focus of the first 8 chapters.

(7) I always ended up making items at the highest quality in the Atelier games.

False. I didn't bother with making optimal items in Atelier Ryza 1.

(8) I like to name the characters in games with customisable names.

False. I always stick to default names, and the main character not having a default or canon name is a negative to me.

(9) Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is infamous for missable contents, but I never missed anything in my playthrough.

False. I got everything except a single glossary entry.

(10) There is a game series of which my favourite entry is a WiiWare title.

True. The series is Excitebike, and the WiiWare game is Excitebike: World Rally.


Multiple-choice questions

(11) What is my favourite Zelda game?

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

Four Swords Adventures can be played in short sessions, makes interesting use of the Link Cable, and I liked the effects added to the A Link to the Past-style graphics.

(12) What colour is my Nintendo GameCube?

Violet

Orange

Black

Silver

Most of the time, I'd just go for the most-advertised colour. Orange reminds me of orange-flavoured Kit-Kat, by the way.

(13) What colour is my Japanese Nintendo 3DS?

Aqua Blue

Light Blue

Cobalt Blue

Metallic Blue

3DS is one of the exceptions of me going for the default colour. I just like the colour cobalt blue. By the way, "Metallic Blue" is a trick option; the original 3DS is not availalbe in Metallic Blue; that's a New 3DS XL colour.

(14) What colour is my North American Nintendo 3DS?

Aqua Blue

Light Blue

Cobalt Blue

Metallic Blue

Aqua blue is the standard 3DS colour at the time it came out. Advertising soon switched to other colours as soon as those were made available, though.

(15) Which of the following is my least favourite 3D Super Mario game?

Super Mario 3D Land

Super Mario Sunshine

Super Mario 64 DS

Super Mario Odyssey

The order is Galaxy 2 > 3D World > Galaxy 1 > 64 > Odyssey > 3D Land > 64 DS > Sunshine. Sunshine has an awful camera, unfriendly UI that doesn't let players check which blue coins are collected, and an unnecessarily high difficulty.

(16) Of the four Nintendo-published GameCube racing games, I don't have:

Wave Race: Blue Storm

Kirby Air Ride

Mairo Kart: Double Dash!!

F-ZERO GX

F-ZERO GX was too difficult to my taste. I also didn't know how to feel about an F-ZERO game from SEGA at the time.

(17) I have perfected two ★9 songs in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone DX, and several other ★8.5 songs. Which was the first ★8.5 song that I perfected?

こっち向いて Baby (Look This Way, Baby) EXTREME ★8.5

恋は戦争 (Love Is War) EXTRA EXTREME ★8.5

愛言葉 (Aikotoba) EXTRA EXTREME ★8.5

えれくとりっく・えんじぇぅ (Electric Angel) EXTRA EXTREME ★8.5

Both Aikotoba and Love Is War are songs that have no business being rated ★8.5, as they're easier than most ★8 songs. I actually got a perfect in Aikotoba before I perfected any ★8 song too. The other two are actually difficult songs worthy of the ★8.5 rating.

(18) Which of the following titles have I not played?

Metal Slug 4

Metal Slug 6

Metal Slug: 1st Mission

Metal Slug Advance

I didn't even know there was a Game Boy Advance version until years after its release.

(19) In my ultimately-abandoned run of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which of the following Divine Beasts have I completed (including the Blight Ganon's defeat)?

Vah Ruta

Vah Medoh

Vah Rudania

Vah Naboris

I finished the puzzles of Vah Medoh and Vah Naboris but didn't defeat the Blight Ganons. I don't even know how to get to Vah Rudania or how to get anywhere near the volcano.

(20) What is my favourite Copy Ability in the Kirby series overall?

Backdrop	Throw	Fighter	Suplex
Ghost	Metal	Bubble	Mini
Light	Copy	Paint	Ball
Smash	Jet	Water	Bell
UFO	Magic	Crash	Hammer

The top 3 rows are joke choices, with 4 similar-looking abilities in the 1st row, infamously unpopular picks from the Flagship games in the 2nd row, and situational picks from the old games in the 3rd row. Water and Bell are my favourites from Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby Triple Deluxe respectively.


Multiple-response questions

(21) Which of the following Metroid games have I finished (seen the ending)?

Metroid	Metroid II: Return of Samus	Super Metroid	Metroid Fusion
Metroid: Zero Mission	Metroid: Other M	Metroid: Samus Returns	Metroid Dread

(Choose 3)

This one should be relatively easy, seeing that I mentioned Samus Returns and Dread not that long ago, and that I kept mentioning wanting a Fusion sequel.

(22) Which of the following Mario Party games do I have?

Mario Party 4	Mario Party 5	Mario Party 6	Mario Party 7
Mario Party 8	Mario Party 9	Mario Party: Island Tour	Mario Party 10
Mario Party: Star Rush	Mario Party: The Top 100	Super Mario Party	Mario Party Superstars

(Choose 5)

Skipped 8 because it looks horribly on a widescreen monitor and requires motion control for even things like hitting the Dice Block. Didn't even occur to me to get 10 because I didn't want to bother with setting up the Wii Sensor Bar.

(23) Which of the following Nintendo 64 games have I played? You'll have to guess, since I haven't talked about this before.

Gex 64: Enter the Gecko	Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko	AeroGauge	World Driver Championship
Micro Machines 64 Turbo	Bomberman 64 (2001)	Super Bowling	Rampage World Tour
Chameleon Twist 2	Lode Runner 3D	Wetrix	Star Wars Episode I Racer

(Choose 6)

These are from my "try out everything" period. Third-party N64 games tend to be simple and I didn't spend that much time on any of these, so I didn't talk about them.

(24) I usually aim for 100% completion in Kirby games, but I can't always achieve it. Which of the following games have I not gotten 100% completion in?

Kirby Air Ride	Kirby & the Amazing Mirror	Kirby Canvas Curse	Kirby Squeak Squad
Kirby Super Star Ultra	Kirby's Epic Yarn	Kirby Mass Attack	Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition	Kirby Triple Deluxe	Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe	Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Kirby Planet Robobot	Kirby's Blowout Blast	Kirby Battle Royale	Kirby Star Allies

(Choose 6)

Games I didn't get 100% in are:
Mass Attack (requires no-damaging all stages),
Dream Collection (didn't get Fighter EX and Smash EX platinum as I'm not good at reading boss patterns),
Rainbow Curse (got everything except beating the final boss with no damage),
the 3DS downloadable titles (which are much harder than their sub-game counterparts) and
Battle Royale (stopped playing since I couldn't stand its frame rate).
I also didn't 100% complete Kirby's Dream Land 3 (w/o emulator tricks) because of its difficult sub-games.

(25) Which methods of obtaining games have I tried?

Order by physical mail	Buy from a game shop	Buy from a toy shop (e.g. Toys'R'Us)	Online order
Buy straight from console even if a physical version is available	Preinstalled on console	Included with console as separate physical media	Win from a giveaway campaign
Buy second hand from a game shop	Buy second hand from a general pawn shop	Buy second hand from an auction site	Find an unclaimed game card lying around

(Choose 5)

I guess I'm pretty traditional when it comes to buying games.

(26) Games I criticised (as in, pointed out faults with) at least partly due to the story include:

Luigi's Mansion 3	Super Mario Sunshine	Super Bomberman R	Umihara Kawase
Fire Emblem Awakening	Puyo Puyo Tetris 2	Rune Factory 4	Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

(Choose 3)

Some are games I otherwise like, and some are games I dislike but not for story reasons.

(27) Which of the following popular pairings (romantic or not) are ones that I like seeing interactions of more than other pairings involving either character?

Totori and Mimi (Atelier Totori)	Lulua and Aurel (Atelier Lulua)	Ao and Hinako (BLUE REFLECTION: Second Light)	Amitie and Sig (Puyo Puyo series)
Raigh and Sophia (Fire Emblem: Binding Blade)	Dimitri and Felix (Fire Emblem: Three Houses)	Francisca and Flamberge (Kirby Star Allies)	King Dedede and Meta Knight (Kirby series)

(Choose 4)

This is a question I struggled with making. I originally intended to list Ike and Soren, but then I realised that it's not Soren's interaction with Ike that I don't like, but rather just Soren's own "I'm a victim of racism therefore I must be racist to them too" attitude towards the beast tribe.

I also struggled with coming up with the answers, since in most games I play I really don't care about who and who should be put together. With Puyo Puyo for example, I generally like all combinations. And then there's Kirby and Ribbon or Elline, where I think it'd be more fun to see them in a love triangle (kind of) than seeing just Kirby with either. But that's too complicated for this question.

On the choices I didn't pick: I like Lulua with Stia better, and I think I'm in an extreme minority on this. Ao works with pretty much anyone, but I prefer pairing her with Kirara for having aligning personality and hobbies. Dedue all the way as far as platonic Dimitri pairings go, and Felix can have Sylvain.

And for Dedede and Meta Knight, they're pretty much a crack pairing for their very different personalities. They shouldn't work in sync the way they do Kirby Fighters 2, so it's a pleasant surprise to see their well-coordinated moves. I still associate either of them with their own subordinates or with Kirby more, though.

(28) Which of the following peripherals have I used?

Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance Link Cable

Nintendo GameCube LAN Adaptor

Nintendo GameCube Mic

Game Boy Player

(Choose 2)

GBA Link Cable for games like Four Swords Adventures and Nintendo Puzzle Collection, and the Mic for the Mario Party games. I have games that use the LAN Adaptor (Mario Kart Double Dash!! and Kirby Air Ride), but without a second GameCube, I wouldn't have made use of it.

(29) Of the following game series, which ones I have played on an arcade system?

Crazy Taxi	Dance Dance Revolution	GROOVE COASTER	Tekken
Bishi Bashi	Mario Kart	Taiko no Tatsujin	Puzzle Bobble

(Choose 3)

I don't play arcade games that often in the first place. Many arcade games have console equivalents anyway.

(30) Which of the followings have I achieved?

Get 380 green stars in Super Mario 3D World	Finish any Gradius title with no deaths	Get the Blitzkrieg medal (finish game in fewer than 500 turns) in Fire Emblem Echoes	Complete Puzzle Swap in StreetPass Mii Plaza
Get the King trophy in Kirby's Dream Collection	Earn more than $5000 in a single session of Crazy Taxi	Get to the end of Prince of Persia	Get 100% on all save files in a Kirby game
Get a score of 100 in Daigasso! Band Brothers P	Complete any game on Neo Geo Pocket Color	Perfect a Special Live in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD	Complete the Easy cluster in Spindizzy Worlds
Collect 120 Azure Petals in Ys IX	Finish a Capcom-developed game based on a Disney IP	Get a perfect in a Taiko no Tatsujin title	Get 120 Shine Sprites in Super Mario Sunshine

(Choose 8)

It's fun coming up with a list of things I didn't do. The Kirby games I got 100% in across all save data are Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the Neo Geo Pocket Color game I completed is Metal Slug: 1st Mission, and the Capcom games with Disney IP are Aladdin and Goof Troop on SNES.


No-choice-given questions

(31) What are my first 3 games ever played?

Super Mario Bros., TwinBee and City Connection.

(32) What is my preferred controller to use for my Nintendo Switch?

DUALSHOCK 4. I'd have also used it as a PC game controller if I do decide to play PC games.

(33) Excluding unconventional systems like Virtual Boy and Mini Classic, which Nintendo console is my least favourite?

Famicom / NES. Games on it are simply too primitive and often have better alternatives (like Super Mario All-Stars). The only game I do really like is Kirby's Adventure.

(34) What is my favourite Saturn game?

Saturn Bomberman. It's also my favourite Bomberman game. I rarely talk about other Saturn games, because I was a child back then and Saturn games just weren't things I could understand.

(35) What is my favourite Dreamcast game?

Power Stone 2. I enjoy SEGA's own games like Crazy Taxi and Sonic Adventure too.

(36) Of the physical Nintendo Switch games I've finished, The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince has the shortest play time. How many hours did I spend from the beginning to trophy-complete? (In-game timer, nearest integer hour)

6 hours. And no, I don't feel ripped off. I knew what I was getting when I bought it.

(37) I once made game prototypes as a hobbyist, although that didn't really lead to anything. What platform did I develop for?

Adobe Flash. I do Flash-related stuff at work too.

(38) What was the last year that I got games on Nintendo systems other than Nintendo Switch?

2018. I got Metroid: Samus Returns and WarioWare Gold on 3DS, and Game & Wario on Wii U, which I refused to buy before Nintendo and IS would make regular WarioWare. It's also the year I bought my PS4.

(39) I usually prefer Japanese versions, but my Nintendo DS is North American. Why?

Because it came with Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt.

(40) Who is my favourite fighter in Super Smash Bros. Melee?

Young Link. I don't like the game he came from, but as a Melee fighter I really like him. That changed in Brawl when Link and Toon Link had very different physics from Melee's, though.

Now, my comments on your answers:

SPOILER: Click to show

(1) False? Not sure, but just guessing.
✓ I mentioned having Metroid Prime 3. I also indicated that I'm stuck at Prime 3.

(2) True? Just a guess, but it seems like something you might have.
✓ Yep, I have a Mini Classic.

(3) True? I know you're not a PC guy, but I can see you at least trying something like this.
✓ I didn't directly mention this, but you correctly deduced that I'd at least try.

(4) False? Just a guess, but I'm not aware of you having any interest in Xbox.
✓ Yep. Completely uninterested. Didn't really get a chance to try it out either.

(5) True. I think you've said that with Fire Emblem, you care more about the story, but I think that's the exception.
✗ It depends on the type of game, but usually it's the music that's at the top of my consideration, with elements like UI and story also above gameplay. I think I've complained enough times about feeling betrayed by an otherwise-good story's ending.

(6) False? Just guessing, but the general consensus is that Ephraim's route has more interesting level design.
✗ Ephraim's route really has good level design, and a more in-depth story too. After all, to know what's wrong with Grado, entering Grado would be the best way to find out. I think I still like Eirika's route better, if only for not having to abandon my main lord halfway through and having better character recruitment timing in general.

(7) False? The word “always” is throwing me off here. In general, it's true, but didn't you recently say you let it slide?
✓ Nice observation! The reasoning is a bit off though; I said I'd live with not having the best items in Ryza 2, but I still managed to reach 999 quality there. It's Ryza 1 that's the exception.

(8) False? No idea.
✓ I always stick to default names. I don't think I talked much about it, but I did say I generally play games to learn about the characters, not to literally role-play them.

(9) True. I know how thorough you are and that you like to use guides.
✗ Guides at the time only covered important things like summons and Djinn, and I didn't use a guide for everything. I missed out just a single glossary item (I had to tap on the screen's text to read them, and they're easy to miss), and it was too late when I found out.

(10) True? This is such a specific question that it would be really random if it were false. (Also, is it Excitebike: World Rally?)
✓ Very nice reasoning! And yes, it's Excitebike: World Rally.

(11) Four Swords Adventures. It's the odd one, so I'll guess that.
✓ I actually like action adventure games presented in small chunks, but this and Luigi's Mansion 2 are the only games that I know of with this structure.

(12) Black? No idea.
✗ I don't think I've posted pictures of my game hardware. This may as well be a wild guess, but even so, wouldn't Violet be the most likely guess?

(13) Aqua Blue? Wild guess.
✗ You got the colours right, but swapped between my 2 3DS units.

(14) Cobalt Blue? Again, completely blind guess.
✗ I got the NA one pretty early on before the price drop, and Cobalt Blue wasn't even introduced yet.

(15) Sunshine? I think I remember you complaining about that one more than the others.
✗ Yep. I felt pretty bummered that we didn't have a good 3D Mario after 64 for several years, until Galaxy came out.

(16) F-Zero GX. You don't seem like an F-Zero fan.
✓ Yeah, unfortunately. I do like Climax in a casual sense, but GX would be too difficult for me anyway.

(17) No idea. I'm sure you have it posted around here somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
✗ This is a very devious question! Of course you can't find it; the answer lies deep in my YouTube channel. I only talked about perfecting ★9 songs here, not ★8.5 ones.

(18) Metal Slug Advance? I think you mentioned missing that one.
✓ Correct. 1st Mission is the trap option here, being a Neo Geo Pocket Color game that a casual observer would view as the least likely I'd have played.

(19) Vah Ruta? Can't find if you talked about it, but I think Vah Ruta is probably most people's first since that's what the game steers you towards.
✓ Nice deduction, but I did talk about it earlier this year.

(20) No clue.
✗ UFO being back is one reason I listed for liking Planet Robobot in the newest NinDB Top 25, but I didn't say it's my favourite. Yeah, this one would have to rely on wild guessing.

(21) I'll guess Fusion, Samus Returns and Dread.
3/3 Correct. This might be the easiest question here.

(22) Couldn't even begin to guess.
0/5 From this post, I mentioned that I have 4, 6 and 7. This post says I have Super Mario Party. I didn't outright say I own a copy of Mario Party 9, but I did mention it a few times in the past.

(23) Blind guess: Gex 64, Gex 3, Bomberman 64, Chameleon Twist 2, Lode Runner 3D, and Wetrix.
3/6 For an absolutely-no-hint question, you did very well! Bomberman 64 (2001) is a trick option, as it refers to the Japan-only 2001 release rather than the earlier 1997 version known as Baku Bomberman in Japan, which I did play.

(24) No idea.
0/6 I'm generally a completionist in Kirby games, but starting from Kirby Mass Attack, they became too difficult for this to be always feasible.

(25) I would guess mostly physical options, but don't know about exceptions.
?/5 Most of the options listed are about getting physical games. The only download versions of physical games I have are games bundled with my Wii U (New Super Mario Bros. U and Wii Party U) and the Play at Home games on PS4.

(26) Partial guess: Fire Emblem Awakening, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, and Rune Factory 4.
2/3 My issue with Rune Factory 4 is entirely gameplay-based, not story-related. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, on the other hand, is unnecessarily dark and scary halfway through, and ended with a cliffhanger even when the future of the series was already uncertain back then.

(27) Another I can't begin to guess.
0/4 I generally like pairings that are obvious to pick, with the game dropping hints everywhere that they may as well be canon. I think the only character pairing that I explicitly said I like is negitoro (Hatsune Miku × Megurine Luka), but that's not really a game character pairing. There are also several occasions where I talked about Totori and Mimi, but framed it as liking the event cutscenes involving them.

(28) GCN-GBA Link cable and GBA Player?
1/2 I have Mario Party 6 and 7, which come with the mic. Non-mic players screaming unrelated commands to interfere during mic minigames is part of the fun.

(29) Groove Coaster, Mario Kart, and Taiko no Tatsujin?
2/3 Very impressive that you got two of them right, seeing that I actually didn't mention having played any of these. I played the rhythm games in my trips to Japan, while Puzzle Bobble was from much earlier back when I discovered Metal Slug 2. I didn't play Mario Kart Arcade GP; I've only ever seen them in children's arcade.

(30) I'm not even going to try this one.
0/8 Probably the hardest question here. The only related thing I've ever posted is that I finished Kirby's Return to Dream Land 6 times, and that's in an external link in a completely unrelated topic. Yeah, I may have gone too far with this one.

(31) Super Mario Bros., TwinBee, and City Connection?
✓ Yep!

(32) Joy-Con? I think you said you preferred the separate directional buttons to a D-pad.
✗ Trick question! I worded it in a way that the answer doesn't have to be a Nintendo Switch controller at all. I did say I prefer the PS4 controller for Project DIVA, but that also applies to all other games. As for the Joy-Cons, my pair has issues. My Joy-Con (L) has a faulty L stick, and my Joy-Con (R) seem to send its motion control data in a very laggy way, which makes playing Project DIVA in Mix Mode a nightmare. So yeah, they don't give me a good impression at all.

(33) Wii?
✗ Nah, my least favourite can't possibly be the console that gave me Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It's the NES, and it's mostly due to its age.

(34) Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3... Just kidding. Don't know.
✗ The only Saturn game I mentioned here is Saturn Bomberman. That has to be it.

(35) Segagaga?
✗ My apologies, but I meant to ask about games I've actually played, not just heard about. I'd probably have liked Segagaga if I play it now in retrospect, but the answer I intend here is much more straightforward: Power Stone 2.

(36) Six. I actually looked this up.
✓ Yep.

(37) Flash, I think?
✓ Correct. I'm rather surprised that this (and some of my skills like foreign languages) would end up helping me in my career.

(38) 2017?
✗ Almost got it! It's 2018, the year when WarioWare Gold came out.

(39) Don't know.
✗ The difficult part is to find out what's special about the (early) non-Japanese DS units. And the answer is Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt.

(40) Kirby?
✗ What is my old user name again?

I almost said 1st Mission, but the fact you mentioned the NGPC in a later multiple-choice question made me change my answer.

I was originally going to say NES/Famicom here for that exact reason, but again, I second-guessed myself. Maybe I should stick with my gut instinct in the future.

A Power Stone game would've been my second choice. I went with Segagaga just because it was more obscure and Japan-only.

Off-topic, but I'm curious, how many languages do you know? I'm thinking at least four?

✗ Almost got it! It's 2018, the year when WarioWare Gold came out.

For this, I looked up when the last 3DS Kirby game came out, but also considered it may have been the Mario & Luigi game in 2018. My reasoning would've been wrong either way.

Can't believe I forgot about Young Link! I think it's because he was mostly replaced with Toon Link until Ultimate came out.

Anyway, hopefully I'll have my quiz finished soon.

[nocturnal YL]

Looking forward to your quiz!

And to answer your question, I know 4 or 5 languages to various levels of familiarity:
- English (not native, but good enough in most cases)
- Cantonese (native, but not particularly good by native standard)
- Mandarin Chinese (good enough for classroom use, but not for slangy use in real life)
- Japanese (I can kind of read and listen without help, but I have problems with particles in writing and speaking)
- French (the course I took said passing it would make my level equivalent to CEFR B2, but I honestly feel more like I'm at A2)

For written languages, it's the same and I can read both Traditional and Simplified scripts of Chinese. And of course, as an RPG player, I've also picked up various German words over time, but I can't say I know the language in any meaningful way.

EDIT — Bonus fact: the reason I type in British spelling here is partly because I'm from Hong Kong, and partly because this site has a British webmaster and Australian members. In the past, at least. Maybe I should change to US spellings since there are more active Americans here now.

Don't feel like you have to change for my sake. It's not like American English and British English are that different anyway.

Anyway, I've fussed with it long enough. Here's my quiz.

All questions are open-ended. I'm not really happy with what I came up with. Most of these are things I've mentioned around the forum at one time or another, so it wasn't intended to be too difficult, but will probably be more challenging for people who don't come here regularly. Only one question is something I only mentioned on Twitter a long time ago.

I'll post the answers in a few days or so. Answers are posted! How many did you get right?

[nocturnal YL]

Here's my attempt without looking around the forum:

SPOILER: Click to show

1 - What was my very first game console?
Oh cool. First question and I already can't answer. I think you've played the 2600, but does that count as your (or your household's) own console? I'm going for a wild guess and say Master System for this one.

2 - What game finally convinced me to buy a GameCube?
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Pretty sure you talked about it in a thread about becoming Nintendo fans.

3 - What genre that I currently enjoy did I used to claim to not care about?
RPGs. I don't recall the details, but I think you gave games like Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and the Operation Rainfall games a shot and slowly changed opinion on it.

4 - What is the only mainline, non-spinoff Pokémon game that I've played?
You played Pokémon!? Oh well, wild guess time. I have some vague memory now that you mentioned it, and I think it's the one before Black and White? I'll guess Pokémon Diamond.

5 - What '90s PC game series was I a big fan of, but was first introduced to on SNES?
I think that's… the Ys series? I'm not sure since I wouldn't count it as a '90s game series since it started in 1987, but it's also the only PC games series I recall you really like and I think your encounter with the series did start from Ys V…

6 - What Wii game did I brag about having top 10/top 20 scores for before the leaderboards went offline?
Pretty sure it's Sin & Punishment: Star Successor.

7 - What was the last non-Nintendo console I owned?
Dreamcast. You did mention having to decide where to go after SEGA stopped making home consoles, and I don't think you went with non-Nintendo consoles since then.

8 - What is the only Luigi's Mansion game I've played?
Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo GameCube). I don't remember anything you said about it, but by elimination, you didn't talk about Luigi's Mansion 3 and you don't have a Nintendo 3DS, and I'm going to guess you haven't played the arcade game either, which leaves the original.

9 - What is my least-favorite Nintendo console that I own?
Another that I don't have any idea of, but I'm going to guess Nintendo DS if handhelds count. It's again a process of elimination, as the only systems that I don't recall you've talked about liking the games on are Game Boy, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. You don't have a 3DS, and I'm not sure if you really don't have any favourites on Game Boy.

10 - All of the amiibo I currently own are from what game series?
I'm going to guess The Legend of Zelda. I think you have the BotW Champions.

11 - What was the first Fire Emblem game I managed to finish?
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. I'd have guessed it even if you haven't mentioned anything about the series, since it's the most newcomer-friendly among the older entries.

12 - What is my favorite Nintendo racing series?
F-Zero.

13 - I once had a fan site with a guide for what SNES game?
My memory on this is very vague, but I think it's Super Metroid.

14 - Besides Super Mario 64, what is the only other 3D Mario game I own?
No idea. I don't recall you talking about it on Twitter, so it's probably not a Nintendo Switch game. And I think you weren't particularly into Mario since very early on, so I'm going to guess the earliest possible answer, Super Mario Sunshine.

15 - One of my favorite Nintendo series began and ended on the NES. What is it?
StarTropics.

16 - While I think the Metroid Prime games are good, I don't really like playing them for what reason?
Because they're played in a first-person perspective? I don't recall you talking about this, but I'm guessing this since you don't talk about other first-person games either.

17 - The last time I bought an N64 game brand new was because it was cheaper than a used GameCube version. What game was it?
Not many games are on both Nintendo 64 and GameCube, but there are still a few choices. My guess is The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.

18 - What Nintendo system did I purchase games for before owning the system?
Is it Nintendo Switch? Just a guess, given the system's early shortage issue.

19 - What was the first game I ever played on an NES?
I think it's The Legend of Zelda. In the same post that talked about you getting into Nintendo, I think you mentioned having played Zelda 1 for a bit, and didn't feel much for it at first until getting back to it later.

20 - I immediately purchased a Game Boy Advance after what game was announced?
Whoa, now this is a difficult one. I don't recall you liking anything on Game Boy Advance in particular during its lifespan, and you played Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones in retrospect (probably not using the original GBA hardware). Yeah, no idea at all. So I'm going to make a wild guess and say Super Mario Advance 3 (Yoshi's Island).

I'm rather tired from the last few days' work, but I intend to re-attempt this in a day with forum searching and see how different will my answers become.

[nocturnal YL]

Okay, now it's time to search around the forum for answers. Note that I don't do searches when I either don't know where to look for or when I'm fairly certain I'm correct. Here goes:

SPOILER: Click to show

1 - What was my very first game console?
Atari 5200. I was way off.

4 - What is the only mainline, non-spinoff Pokémon game that I've played?
Pokémon Yellow!? From the very first time you mentioned Pokémon in this forum!? I can't believe it!

5 - What '90s PC game series was I a big fan of, but was first introduced to on SNES?
Wait, no. Let me look around again, then… Oh, Wing Commander. It's from so long ago that I completely forgot.

7 - What was the last non-Nintendo console I owned?
Still Dreamcast. Seems that you didn't get an Xbox 360, after all.

10 - All of the amiibo I currently own are from what game series?
Oh, it's Smash Link, OoT Link, Wolf Link & Midna and BotW Zelda. All from The Legend of Zelda.

12 - What is my favorite Nintendo racing series?
Wait, I didn't look up in the forum, but what was I thinking? How could I forget about Cruis'n?

13 - I once had a fan site with a guide for what SNES game?
So I think I'm wrong, and I have no idea what could it be after some searching.

14 - Besides Super Mario 64, what is the only other 3D Mario game I own?
Aha, Super Mario Sunshine is correct, it seems!

16 - While I think the Metroid Prime games are good, I don't really like playing them for what reason?
Ah, so you did say you don't like the FPS genre.

18 - What Nintendo system did I purchase games for before owning the system?
Oh, it's Wii, from the same post where I found out about Atari 5200. I too bought a Wii game (WarioWare: Smooth Moves) before I got a Wii.

19 - What was the first game I ever played on an NES?
Oh, so it's Kung Fu? You're sourcing multiple questions from the a post that I have no memories of!? I'm really, really impressed.

20 - I immediately purchased a Game Boy Advance after what game was announced?
And this one's from the same post too. It's Metroid Fusion.

So that's about half of them wrong. And I'll admit, I actually find this one more fun to do than mine. A lot of my questions are "here's something you don't know, try brute-forcing the answer" and "do I feel like I'm a fan of X?", which made me wonder if I should have introduced those facts in a different format than a quiz.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun!

[Nester the Lark]

All right, let's see how you did...

SPOILER: Click to show

1 - What was my very first game console?
Atari 5200. I was way off.

Correct!

2 - What game finally convinced me to buy a GameCube?
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Pretty sure you talked about it in a thread about becoming Nintendo fans.

Correct!

3 - What genre that I currently enjoy did I used to claim to not care about?
RPGs. I don't recall the details, but I think you gave games like Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and the Operation Rainfall games a shot and slowly changed opinion on it.

Correct! I feel like I fell off the genre after playing Tales of Symphonia, but I still dabbled with games like Fire Emblem. It was the release of the Operation Rainfall games where I made my formal return.

4 - What is the only mainline, non-spinoff Pokémon game that I've played?
Pokémon Yellow!? From the very first time you mentioned Pokémon in this forum!? I can't believe it!

Correct! And I never even finished it. The only other Pokémon game I've played is the original Pokémon Pinball.

5 - What '90s PC game series was I a big fan of, but was first introduced to on SNES?
Wait, no. Let me look around again, then… Oh, Wing Commander. It's from so long ago that I completely forgot.

Correct! I actually mentioned this on Twitter last year, too.

6 - What Wii game did I brag about having top 10/top 20 scores for before the leaderboards went offline?
Pretty sure it's Sin & Punishment: Star Successor.

Correct!

7 - What was the last non-Nintendo console I owned?
Still Dreamcast. Seems that you didn't get an Xbox 360, after all.

Correct! I came pretty close to getting a PS2 at one point, but Nintendo has satisfied most of my gaming needs.

8 - What is the only Luigi's Mansion game I've played?
Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo GameCube). I don't remember anything you said about it, but by elimination, you didn't talk about Luigi's Mansion 3 and you don't have a Nintendo 3DS, and I'm going to guess you haven't played the arcade game either, which leaves the original.

Wrong! It's Luigi's Mansion Arcade. This question is obscure enough that I considered not including it.

9 - What is my least-favorite Nintendo console that I own?
Another that I don't have any idea of, but I'm going to guess Nintendo DS if handhelds count. It's again a process of elimination, as the only systems that I don't recall you've talked about liking the games on are Game Boy, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. You don't have a 3DS, and I'm not sure if you really don't have any favourites on Game Boy.

Wrong! It's Nintendo 64. Not sure if or where I've mentioned this on the forum.

10 - All of the amiibo I currently own are from what game series?
Oh, it's Smash Link, OoT Link, Wolf Link & Midna and BotW Zelda. All from The Legend of Zelda.

Correct! You can add the Sheik amiibo to that list, as well.

11 - What was the first Fire Emblem game I managed to finish?
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. I'd have guessed it even if you haven't mentioned anything about the series, since it's the most newcomer-friendly among the older entries.

Wrong! It's Path of Radiance.

Maybe I worded this question poorly. I was looking for the first game that I finished, not the earliest Fire Emblem game released that I finished. Although, that still would've been wrong since I finished The Blazing Blade.

12 - What is my favorite Nintendo racing series?
Wait, I didn't look up in the forum, but what was I thinking? How could I forget about Cruis'n?

Wrong! You were actually right the first time. Cruis'n is fun, but it's no F-Zero.

13 - I once had a fan site with a guide for what SNES game?
So I think I'm wrong, and I have no idea what could it be after some searching.

The answer is Secret of Evermore. I'm fairly certain I've mentioned this somewhere, but I don't remember where.

14 - Besides Super Mario 64, what is the only other 3D Mario game I own?
Aha, Super Mario Sunshine is correct, it seems!

Correct!

15 - One of my favorite Nintendo series began and ended on the NES. What is it?
StarTropics.

Correct! This one is pretty easy to figure out from the question.

16 - While I think the Metroid Prime games are good, I don't really like playing them for what reason?
Ah, so you did say you don't like the FPS genre.

Correct! Specifically, free-roaming first-person games can cause me to have motion sickness.

18 - What Nintendo system did I purchase games for before owning the system?
Oh, it's Wii, from the same post where I found out about Atari 5200. I too bought a Wii game (WarioWare: Smooth Moves) before I got a Wii.

Correct!

19 - What was the first game I ever played on an NES?
Oh, so it's Kung Fu? You're sourcing multiple questions from the a post that I have no memories of!? I'm really, really impressed.

Wrong! Kung Fu was the first game I owned on NES, but the first game I played was Mike Tyson's Punch-out!! on a neighbor's NES.

20 - I immediately purchased a Game Boy Advance after what game was announced?
And this one's from the same post too. It's Metroid Fusion.

Correct!

So, your first try got 9/20. Your second try improved to a 13/20. Pretty good either way, I think. Looking back over them, maybe the questions were still harder than I intended.
