A lot of people panned Epic Mickey 2 back in the day but I don't think it was THAT bad.  

Kirby games are great.  I really think they're better than Mario games. Same goes with Wario Land titles.  I think they're better than Mario as well.

Klonoa is such a fantastic series.  Shame Namco didn't keep up with it.  Glad they did the remakes, though.  After playing those, I realized how much I liked them.

Monster Boy is great, but it got too hard for me later on.

I remember when Commander Keen was big on shareware.  Since the company who made those games is in the same area I live, they were always at the forefront around these parts.  I heard that Commander Keen is a descendant from the guy in Wolfenstein!

Super Mario Land 2 is fun, but again, I prefer the Wario games.  This was actually Wario's first appearance, though.

Donkey Kong on GB is one of the best classic arcade updates even to this day.

Oh man, I remember that Doritos game!  What a dumb one!

I  tried to review that Penny's Big Breakaway but wasn't able to.  Oh well, their loss.  Shame that company just went out of business.

Yeah it'll definitely make it on my GOTY list of great classic remakes.

I will do that!

If Nintendo Switch 2 games are going to be as expensive as they say, I may have to look into renting games more.  I wonder if GameFly is still around?  I never used them, but I might now.

Sonic X Shadow Generations is actualy a remake of Sonic Generations with new content.  I reviewed the original back in the day and thought it was pretty good.  I liked how they gave 2D chubby Sonic classic levels based on the new ones.

I liked Mario vs. Donkey Kong.  It's actually a sequel to the Donkey Kong Game Boy game.  Even though I liked the Game Boy one way better, the sequel wasn't bad.  Switch remake adds some nice new features, too.

I enjoyed Nintendo World Championships NES Edition, but not as long as I thought I would.  It's basically NES Remix for speedrunners.

I liked Epic Mickey, but not enough to buy the remake.  One of the feathers in my game reviewing cap was being on a roundtable discussion with Warren Specter, the guy who helped create Epic Mickey.

Yes it's the same brother who is in most of the podcasts.  Sometimes I have oher brothers on it, but it's usually him.  You see, last December he got married, and his wife has two kids, a young adult lady who doesn't live with her, and an 8 year old son she has joint custody with.  So he has a stepson and I have another nephew.

You know at weddings how there's a wedding cake and a groom's cake?  Well his groom's cake had Kirby on it.  You don't think someone might've had an influence on him in his life, do you? :)  I can send you a picture of the cake if you like probably on Facebook.

After the wedding, the nephew said about us, "Now that they're part of the family, they can all put in profiles on the Xbox!"

I might still get the Switch 2 at launch just so I can have something new to review games on.  But we'll just have to see what they decide on after delaying the pre-order date.  I'll definitely be changing how I buy games, though.  Might even start to try and rent them.  I bet if the prices go up, the game renting scene might make a comeback!  Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and ESPECIALLY Kirby Air Riders looks like a lot of fun, though.  But yeah, the Switch isn't dead yet!  In fact, depending on how much they cost, I just might get the orignal Switch versions of Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon Legends ZA instead of the Switch 2 versions.  Same goes with Shadow Labyrinth and Tamagotchi Plaza.  I guess I don't HAVE to have those fancy graphics.

Thanks.  Just trying to help spread the news of their little YouTube channel.  My nephew just loves to see those likes and views grow.  Hopefully this will show him how hard you have to work to be a famous YouTube star (like all kids want to be nowadays), and why I don't do it. :)

My nephew did not like the idea of me having a made up space name.  He also didn't like it when I told him my favorite dinosaur was Yoshi.  Kids today have no imagination. :)

I miss when you could rent movies that way.  You could pretty much watch what you wanted.
