I think you unlock characters by playing the party games.  The more songs you play in the regular mode, the more songs you unlock.  

I watched that show a lot as a kid.

Uh oh, you're talking about a Namco game.  You know what that means.  I'll be talking your ear off about it now.

Do you remember the sit down cabinets for Pole Position?  When I was little, my dad would play those and I'd sit in his lap (I guess I was really little!).  I'm not a huge fan of Pole Position but I do have good memeries playing it with my dad at the arcades.

Did you know there was a Pole Position cartoon?  Yeah I think they just took a generic racing cartoon and slapped the name on it, but it exists and it's as dumb as you'd expect it to be.

Do you know what the sequel to Pole Position is?  Well, yeah, it's Pole Position 2.  But did you know what the sequel to that is?  The game Final Lap is actually Pole Position 3.

Well I guess that's all I have to say about Pole Position.  I could say more but instead I'll just leave you this video of the music from the Pole Position 2 room in Namco Museum vol. 3.  I just think the music is cool.

In the Taiko Switch game, I like that you can play as Kirby and can play music from Mario Odyssey and Kirby.

Right now I'm most happy that I got a review code to play Doraemon: Story of Seasons.  

If I played the entire game in 16-bit mode, would it make the game shorter?

Puzzle Quest can get pretty hard!

Ah ha!  So you did break and got the Taiiko game.  Yeah, even though I'm a HUGE Taiko fan and imported many of the PSP and DS ones, I would never pay 50 bucks for a digital only Switch game.  But for 20 bucks, heck yeah.  I wonder if the PS4 version will go on sale soon?

Have you ever played the arcade Taiko game?

You know, a Metal Gear/Pokemon crossover sounds weird and impossible, but there have been Pokemon crossovers that were just as weird.  Case in point: have you ever heard of a popular strategy game series called Nobunaga's Ambition?  Well did you know that there was a crossover game with that and Pokemon on the DS?  Yup, it's true!  It was called Pokemon Conquest, and basically played like Final Fantasy Tactics with Pokemon, but apparently the famed Japanese dictator Nobunaga from real life history had a Pokemon partner.  Who knew?

The press release said that the new Puzzle Quest was a Switch exclusive, but they didn't make it clear if it was a timed exclusive or not.  Thanks for reading!
