An absolute classic. It's a tightly designed game with absolutely no filler in it and is still one of the high-water marks of 2-D platforming and adventuring. A great story is told almot entirely with the visuals, music, and gameplay. The twist during the endgame was brilliant.
I remember the ads for this game on SNES. I kind of want to play the Ninja Saviors game on Switch.
Love, love, love his game. It's stuffed with content and I like the new graphics interface. It's been great seeing the first full blown console Fire Emblem since Radiant Dawn on Wii. Plus, I don't think you'll have too hard of a time finding physical copies for a long time, this game was a genuine success in the market and is on its way to becoming the best-selling FE of all time. I was fortunate enough to be able to get the Seasons of War Collectors' Edition.
Mario Maker was my 2015 GOTY. I always used to enjoy games that had built in level editors. Even with Excitebike on the NES, half the fun was making stupid-hard levels. I still want to try Mario Maker 2.
I got the PSP version, since the PS1 version flew under my radar - ironically, Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite PS1 games of all time and one of my favorite Final Fantasy games (I personally consider it a main FF entry alongside the numbered titles), and it was cool to finally see its progenitor.
I've blown it every year. I'm hard pressed to do a blog a month.
I had NBA Jam Tournament Edition. Supposedly the sound had slightly fewer voice samples, but the game had a lot more options than vanilla NBA Jam, like more players (in the roster, it was still 2 on 2 during the actual games), tournament mode, and a lot more. Like you, I'm generally not a sports fan unless it's arcadey-type sports.
Galaga is on PS4 and, I believe, X1. I know I have it on Switch and PS4. Along with Centipede it was one of my early go-to shooters.
Final Fantasy Tactics,.. what a classic. Was a game I didn't expect to like yet I enjoyed it enough to start over when I screwed up at the end of Act 3 and played it to the end. If you do get this game, keep two save slots every time you go to a castle where a battle awaits, as they're usually multi-part battles and you can get stuck in an unwinnable situation.
A lot of the games do, including FF7, FF9, and FF12. I chose FF9 in part because I read somewhere that it was Uematsu's favorite FF. And so the copy of FF9 I got from my parents for Christmas in 2000 now bears the signature of ithe game's composer.
Playing BotW for the first time was like playing Zelda I for the first time. This game rocks.
