I loved the Disney Afternoon Collection and some of those games on it were a big part of my childhood.  I especially liked Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers and DuckTales and beat them both many times.  I reviewed the collection, too.

I rented that Duck Dodgers game on SNES one time back in the day.  I enjoyed it, but it did get pretty hard later on, as they do.

DKC gets overrated sometimes, but it's still very good.  

I reviewed Pepper Grinder but couldn't beat the last boss.

Also reviewed Shadow of the NInja Reborn.  And also way too hard.

Crossy Road Castle sounds neat.  I forgot to ask for a review code for it when it came out.  Oops. 

My nephew loves the Dog Man books.  i wonder if he saw the movie or played the game?

I reviewed that Save Me Mr. Tako game a long time ago!

With everything going on with the Switch 2 right now, I may have to find a way to rent games in the future as well.

If those platformers are getting too frustrating, I recommend trying Kirby games and Klonoa games if you can.

I've always wanted to play Animaniacs Ten Pin Alley.  I saw it at E3 back then but not in stores.

The SNES Tiny Toons game is called Tiny Toons: Buster Busts Loose.

Yeah but for me it needs to be a theme I would be interested in.

So I saw on the Nintendo Switch eShop channel that there's a new Picross S game and it has a theme, too.  The theme is characters from a famous Japanese manga artist(s) and some you might've heard of, like Doraemon.  I probably won't be getting the game myself, because while Doraemon is cool, it's not cool enough to buy a game of for me.  I wonder if the characters from Q-Taro are in the Picross game, too?  The guy who created Pac-Man cited the Q-Taro characters as inspiration to how he created the Pac-Man ghosts.

I know that streaming services that you have to subscribe to are probably the way of the future and they do have some nice convienences.  But all in all, I don't like them.  The only reason why I have the ones I have are becasue I'm mooching them off my brother.  And I don't have Netflix either.  I only watched the Wallace and Gromit movie on it because I went to my dad's house and they have Netflix.

I'm a HUGE fan of Animaniacs, so I rented the SNES version as soon as I saw it.  Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed.  I found it more annoying than anything, which is a shame because Konami's Tiny Toon SNES game they made before it was really good.  But then, that Tiny Toons game was made by the same team that would later form Treasure, so you know.  I hear the Genesis version of Animaniacs is better.  But I didn't have a Genesis back then.

I've heard good things about QuackShot and the Taz games on Genesis.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is actually a sequel to the Castle of Illusion game on Genesis!

Unfortunately, I'm not going to review it.  Sometimes I play games just for fun, espeically the ones I have to buy.  It's why you also won't see me reviewing Ys X: Nordics.  All you need to know is...both games are good.

I'm not really reading or listening to anything significant, but I sure am enjoying the heck out of Hello Kitty Island Adventure on Switch!

I think you would like Hello Kitty Island Adventure.  It's a lot like Animal Crossing, just more goal and mission oriented.

I DO play more grown up games from time to time, though.  Stuff like Soul Calibur and Phoenix Wright.  Later this year I'll be playing a new dark take on Pac-Man called Shadow Labyrinth (yeah, look it up, it's weird).  Gotta play it out of morbid curiosity if anything.

I loved the new movie.  I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.  Kind of sad it didn't win the Oscar for best animated movie, but I guess I need to see the winner, Flow, on HBO Max before I get too biased.
