[Solution] Don’t I Know You From Somewhere? – 30 September 2024

This puzzle gives solvers a list of sentences, describing characters and video games they feature in. The sentences are fairly descriptive, but as an extra assist, they are listed in alphabetical order by character. Slight ambiguities in titles are removed by the number of words being given. In order, the missing characters and titles are:

  • Andross (Star Fox)
  • Captain Falcon (F-Zero) (This clue references his “Show me your moves!” taunt from the Super Smash Bros. games)
  • Cloud (Final Fantasy VII)
  • Ganondorf (Ocarina of Time)
  • Gruntilda (Banjo-Kazooie)
  • Guile (Street Fighter II)
  • Knuckles (Sonic Adventure)
  • Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
  • Master Chief (Halo)
  • Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
  • Professor Oak (Hey You, Pikachu!)
  • Sora (Kingdom Hearts)
  • Steve (Minecraft)
  • Tom Nook (Animal Crossing)
  • Waluigi (Mario Tennis)

The second page of the puzzle consists of fifteen pairs of intersecting rows of boxes. Each character/game pairing fits uniquely into one set such that a single identical letter fits in the intersection box. The finished grids should look like this:

The intersections squares are numbered in reading order across the page. Taken in order, they read FIFTH GEN CONSOLE.
