I enjoyed Metroid Prime 4, but it really suffered from that long development hell. Did not feel like something that took 8 years to make. Definitely one of the weaker Metroid games.
I didn't mind Epic Mickey and its sequel and finished both. Never played the remastered version.
When you're not sure what to do in the Hello Kitty game, start giving gifts to friends. When you raise friendship levels enough, new quests open up.
I wrote a couple of articles about The Disney Afternoon Collection when it first came out:

I never played Bonkers, but I have tried a little bit of Goof Troop and it's actually really good! I wish I would've given it more of a chance back in the day. I heard somewhere that the team that made Goof Troop at Capcom, they went on to make the GBC Oracle of Seasons and Ages Zelda games becasue Nintendo liked how they made top down action puzzles in Goof Troop! That same team also went on to make the Four Swords Zelda game and later founded their own company with Flagstaff.
Oh yeah, Mega Man Battle Network definitely exudes that GBA-ness. Especially since it's just Mega Man Pokemon. I did get a little tired of it after the 4th one, though. The GBA is my favorite handheld, though.
So another 2026 game that I want just got annouced. It's the Switch and Switch 2 versions of The Disney Afternoon Collection. I already have it on PS4, but these added two new games: Goof Trioop and Bonkers. So I will get it. It has a physical copy versions, too.
I'll have to look into it, but I've got a lot of other games I'm playing right now. Early in January I finished Metroid Prime 4, and thanks to being stuck inside because of the snow, I also finished Hyrule Warriors. So now I'm chugging my way through Pokemon Legends ZA. I wonder if I'll finish it before Pokopia comes out?
Now that you've seen the Hello Kitty game, you can probably understand why I gave it top honors, especially for Animal Crossing fans.
Kirby Air Riders is the game that sold me on the Switch 2. It would've won my GOTY award had it not been for Hello Kitty.
Can't blame you for getting the Rune Factory Picross game if it's on sale. Do the Picross S games ever go on sale? That might be how I get the SNK one.
Good to hear from you and sorry for your loss!
The Kirby promotion only lasts until the end of January, so you'll have to hurry!
I hope you like it! I sure did!
Final Fight on SNES is really not that good. No two player, and Guy is missing! I hear the console only sequels are better, though. Wish I would've played those.
I never played the Horizon games so I didn't pick up the LEGO one. I will probably try and review the new Batman LEGO game, though.
I'm probably the only one who will say this, but I think the original Trials of Mana is a hot mess. I can see now why we never got it.
The Paper Mario remaster is fantastic.
Hope you like the Hello Kitty game! I sure did!
