I used a guide to get through the puzzle doors in Bowser's Keep on Mario RPG. I just don't have time for that anymore. The action rooms were a lot easier on the SNES because the Switch JoyCon controllers suck.
Did you know that Yoshi puzzle game was made by GameFreak, the same folks who made a little known game you might've heard of all Pokemon?
Yeah it certainly didn't win my GOTY award on my newest blog. But it's still pretty on up there.
I'm surprised they haven't made more Pac-Man ornaments, considering how widely popular that character is and how Namco likes to sell him out.
YOUR pretend present is a 1,000 inch flat screen smart TV. (Last night at my work Christmas party, I actually won a 50 inch flat screen smart TV in real life!)
NASCAR Arcade Rush isn't a bad game, but there are so many other better racers you could be playing.
Oh cool, Dunkin' makes ornaments? Not a big fan of that Elf on a Shelf stuff, though. Glad that wasn't a thing when I was a kid.
YOUR pretend present is a Christmas ornament of the main character from Onechanbara, because you KNOW they'll never make one of that!
It really just makes the game feel untested and incomplete.
I got a review code for the DQ Monsters game. Back when I wrote for The Dallas Morning News, I reviewed the very first Dragon Warrior Monsters game on Game Boy. My brother Jeff was only 5 at the time and could barely read, but he loved that game so much that he confiscated it from me after I reviewed it and just kept it for himself after that. So because of that, I am having him review the new DQ Monsters game!
The post game boss battle re-fights in Mario RPG are really HARD!
I reviewed the Rayman Legends/Origins games. They really do have tight controls and rival the Mario games in some ways.
You're doing really good on Zelda if you're only 30 hours in and have already beaten three temples. It took me 100 hours in a span of two months to beat that game!
I freeze framed on an ad to look at all the hats you could unlock for the new Pac-Man game. I saw one for Klonoa, Katamari, and a few for Dig Dug! I hope I can unlock those!
As a kid I was always conflicted about Pac-Man cereal. I love Pac-Man, and I love cereal. But Pac-Man cereal had marshmallows and I've always hated marshmallows. If I went to a friend's house and they ate Lucky Charms for breakfast, i'd always take out my marshmallows and put them in my friend's bowl. And their mom would wonder why they were so hyper for the rest of the day. Pac-Man cereal lasted a pretty long time for that kind of thing, though. Probably because they added marshmallows later like giant Super Pac-Man marshmallows (to add insult to injury), and Ms. Pac-Man marshmallows (which looked like teeth to me).
Ah, Namco Museum vol. 4, the one with the C on the cover. Probably had the best museum music in the whole franchise. Best game on that one was Ordyne. My brother Jeff and I played that a lot when he was a kid. He could never remember the name, so he called it "The Flying Game." Took me forever to figure out what he was talking about when he first asked to play it by that name. Wish we got Namco Museum Encore in the US.
YOUR pretend present is a box of new Streets of Rage Cereal! It has super vitamins in it, so when you eat it, you'll be strong enough to punch oil barrels and disintergrate them with one hit, and you'll be able to beat up ALL the bad guys!
