Okami was my Game of the Year in 2006!

I played Gravity Rush 2, but didn't beat it.  It was fun, but other games enticed me more at the time.

My favorite music from Mario Odyssey was Steam Gardens.

I played and reviewed Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders!  It was so cool and had lots of classic Taito references.  i'm so glad Taito is still around in some form or fashion.  They're awesome!

I love AC: Pocket Camp, too!  Here's my friend code if you don't have it already.

Yeah it would be nice if the game came with some good instructions.  That's one of the things I hate about going digital.  They don't have to hold my hand, but I think they should tell us about important gameplay details, like life points.

Actually you can play as Zero in MMX3, but it's a bit different how you do it.

I'll have my Game of the Year Award blog posted at the end of this month.  It'll have some surprises!

It's interesting that you can still buy the Mattel Baseball and Football games now.

When I played Bowling 2600 on Atari Flashbacks I thought that if I had played it as a kid, I would've liked it.

There are lots of other Namco Museums that have Galaxian on it, too.  Did you know that Galaxian was the first full color video game, and didn't use screen overlays to create the illusion of color?

It's funny how you remember your first.  My first arcade game was Pac-Man and it was at a Kroger grocery store.

Wait until you die in SaGa 2 first, then you'll get to rebuild your party.

To upgrade your skills in SaGa 2, you have to use them.  So to increae your hit points, get hit a bunch.  To increase your attack, use a weapon a lot.  To beef up your magic, use a lot of spells.  That's also how FF2 worked, and both games were directed by the game guy as well.

The way formations work is that anyone in the front has strong attacks, but they get hit harder and more often.  Players in the back have more defense, but less offense.  It affects their speed and other stats as well.

RIME is pretty awesome.  You might want to have a tissue ready at the ending, though.

Right now I'm playing a really awesome game on my PS4 called Ys 8.

Cutie Q, which is in the same vein as Gee Bee and Bomb Bee, is on Namco Museum Remix on Wii and I think Namco Museum Virtual Arcade on 360.

Interesting thing about Cutie Q is that it was made by the same guy who made Pac-Man: Toru Iwatani.  He said that one of the things that inspired him when creating the Pac-Man characters was an anime and manga that he grew up with called Q Taro.  Look up some images of that and you can see what he meant.  But I think it also inspired Cutie Q as well.

Breath of the Wild is about middle of the road to me.  It's not one of my favorites, but not one of my least favorites either.  I will say this, as much as I may not like some of the changes to this Zelda game, I have to say it's exactly what the series needed right now.  It's like Mega Man X.  I prefer the original Mega Man, but the first X game is exactly what the series needed at the time to keep from becoming too stale.  

My favorite Zelda game is Link's Awakening, too!  I also like Link to the Past, original NES Zelda, and Link Between Worlds.  So yeah, I like the 2-D top down Zeldas a lot.
