Aw man, of all the games on this list and you choose to talk about the ones I felt were the least interesting? :)  Well, ok...

Mining Mechs is all right, just too slow paced.  Steamworld Dig was way better in that aspect.

I probably wouldn't have reviewed Bare Butt Boxing if it weren't for the PR dept. emailing me and asking if I wanted to. So I was like, "Uh, sure."

But yeah, next time you fire up your Switch, definitely download the Bakeru demo.  It's so good.  Best way I can describe it is that it's a "happy" game.

I played the first Ni no Kuni up until the point I thought it should've ended.  It kind of dragged after that.  Never played the sequel, but I hear it's totally different.

Trials of Mana remake is pretty good.  I never beat that one either, though.

I'd probably make a horrible video game villain.

Kirby's Dream Buffet is a cute little game.  It'll make you hungry!

I reviewed Gato Roboto a few years ago:

I don't think I've ever heard of that baddie!

Great!  Thanks for listening!

I wonder if Legend and Trails of Mana are oin sale because Visions of Mana just came out.  I never played Legend of Mana, but I wanted to on the PSOne.  But I was a poor college student at the time.  The original Super Famicom Trails of Mana was a hot mess, but I think they improved it in the remake.  Stlll haven't beaten it, though.  I'd like to get Visions of Mana but Square is making it really hard to get on the PS4.

Next time you fire up the Switch, you should download this game.  There is a free demo of it you can try first.

Good to hear from you!  I'm sitll reviewing games, right now the most notable ones I'm working on include The Plucky Squire and Yars Rising.  Also looking forward to the new Zelda game tomorrow!

Cool!  I hope you get a chance to listen to my podcast!  I just posted a mini-blog here with a link to my latest one!

I think the reason why we never got Pac-Man fruit snacks is because of timing.  When Pac-Man was big in the early 80s, and you could find him on darn near everything from children's vitamins to ash trays, fruit snacks as we know them hadn't been invented yet.  Once "Fruit Roll Ups" and "Fruit Wrinkles" hit the market, Pac-Man was kind of on his way out (at least for a while) in favor of popular video game characters like Mario.  In fact, once fruit snacks hit it big, you could get Mario and Zelda ones.  In fact, you can still get Mario fruit snacks!  I'm sure that if some fruit snack company wanted to make Pac-Man fruit snacks, Namco would gladly shill him out for that.  Pac-Man is a bit of a sellout.  Heck, today I just bought a Pac-Man Christmas ornament at Wal-Mart!  But I don't think the fruit snack companies think that Pac-Man would be a fit for their target audience.  I could see how they would do it, though.  You could have fruit snacks shaped like Pac-Man and the ghosts, or shaped liked the bonus fruit.  

Anyway, if you do get Thank Goodness You're Here, I just hope you like British humor!
