With Super Mario Bros. Wonder being recently released, everyone is talking about the new power-up that turns Mario into an elephant!  I didn’t realize Mario was such a University of Alabama fan!  He DOES wear red all the time, though!  Roll Tide, Mario, Roll Tide!  Anyway, Elephant Mario isn’t the ONLY elephant in video games, so I thought I’d talk about my other top video game elephants.  So let’s stomp our feet and trumpet our nose! These aren’t in any particular order or anything, though. 

Well I hope my reviews don’t really put you to sleep!  Anyway, here’s more of them I’ve written over at GamerDad.com recently.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

So recently I played through Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe on Switch.  Knowing that I’m a huge Kirby fan, you’re probably wondering why I didn’t get this game back when it released in February.  Well I don’t really like paying full price for Switch re-releases and remakes, especially when I already paid for these games back on the original console.  So I waited and asked for it for my birthday, which is what I usually do for games I want to get, but don’t have to play right away.  So since I had already played this one back on the Wii, I decided I can wait and put it on my birthday list.  After playing it, I have to say that unlike a lot of other Switch rereleases, this one’s actually pretty good and adds a lot of extra content.  One of the extra things is an amusement park with ten Kirby mini-games from past titles!  And since I like to write blogs about games that have a lot of mini-games, especially if they are presented in a museum or amusement park, let’s take a tour of Merry Magoland!

Halloween is this month, so here’s some treats for you!  Reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

There’s a fishing game in Japan by Namco called Ace Angler, and you view the screen horizontally to the ground like you’re looking into a fishing pond.  It’s pretty popular, and I think I even played it once at Round 1 arcade here in the US, or at least an imitation of it.  And now you can play a home version of the arcade game on the Switch with Ace Angler: Fishing Spirits.  It was available digitally in the US last year, but I imported a physical copy of it because I’m a freak about stuff like that.  But the game is entirely in English so there’s no language barrier here.  I asked for it for Christmas, but since imports can sometimes take a while, I actually didn’t get it until around Easter this past year.  And I finally got around to playing it recently.  The cool thing about the Switch game is that they made the arcade game like it has its own amusement park and aquarium.  So it’s like a cross between a Namco Museum game (albeit for only one arcade game) and Animal Crossing.  You even create your own avatar that looks like something out of Animal Crossing, and since I like the aquariums in those games, as well as Namco Museums in general, this game really ticked off a lot of boxes for me!  The game says it’s Ace Angler’s 10^th anniversary, which I didn’t realize it had been around that long!  But anyway, let me take you on a tour guide through the Ace Angler Aquarium and Arcade Amusement Park found in the Switch Fishing Spirits game!

September 15 is my birthday, but the presents are for you!  More recent game reviews I’ve written over at GamerDad.com for you to read and post ‘likes’ and comments on.  And thanks for doing that.  And since it’s my birthday, in the comments section here, please give me a pretend birthday present!  It’s the thought that counts, literally!  And it’s fun.  OK let’s begin!

I have some friends that I’ve known and talked to on the Internet and in person for a long time.  Like, since college, which was about 25 years ago!  They have a podcast about cartoons now, and when they talked about the Pac-Man cartoon from the 80s, they had me be on the show with them!  I am the biggest Pac-Man fan out there so why wouldn’t they?  But seriously, it was an honor to be on the show with them and meant a lot to me that they included me and I was very thankful.  So please give it a listen and let me know if you have any questions.

On this episode of the podcast, we’re doing something a little bit different.  Usually one of my brothers hosts the show with me, but this time we’re having a special guest.  A good friend and co-worker of mine named Noah is here this time.  And we’ll be talking about our favorite video game based movies, as well as a bunch of not so favorites!  Please click on the link and give it a listen, and let me know your favorite video game based movies as well!
