Another Hour in Wind Waker

In the Wii U version you can get an upgraded sail that changes the wind's direction automatically so you always catch wind.

You can. That's how I first played it, in the CV collection on Switch. Contra: Hard Corps is likewise on the Contra collection. Those two games kind of killed some of the impetus for me to get a mini Genesis.

I don't think it was deliberate on Nintendo's part, but it was silly of him to expect Nintendo to rearrange its release schedule to accomodate them. DKC didn't happen overnight, after all, and Nintendo planned its release months in advance. Doug TenNapel and Dave Perry are both kind of prima donnas anyway.

I picked up DQXI on Switch. The game was already great, but the Switch version is a truly sublime experience. I'm having a hard time deciding between it and Fire Emblem: Three Houses as GOTY.

I have Cities Skylines. It's pretty much the de facto city sim since EA released the complete disaster that was SimCity 5.

Castlevania Bloodlines was a good game, though more basic than SCV4. I actually like Hard Corps better than Contra 3, however. My only issue with Hard Corps is that the explosions cover up a lot of the screen, which causes enemies to ambush you. Phantasy Star IV is a good game and one of my favorite Genesis games, but again I like Lunar and Lunar 2 even better.

I never did get into Earthworm Jim. It got overshadowed by a lot of other stuff that came out in 1994. The N64 game killed and buried Earthworm Jim.

In addition to Alundra and Time Stalker, there was also a Saturn game called Dark Savior that some outlets referred to as a sequel to Landstalker because it had similar gameplay with 3-D polygon environments and was made by the same developers, even though the story and characters were completely separate.

In Arizona, it's always midnight all the time. It's especially sweet making fun of out of state friends during the spring forward change. Oddly, there seems to be fewer and fewer friends to tease every year. That's just a coincidence, right?

I was kinda disappointed by them not including Shining Force II. Other than the Lunar games that's my favorite Genesis RPG. Since Fire Emblem was still stuck in Japan and Final Fantasy Tactics hadn't been made yet, Shining Force was one of the few options for SRPGs on consoles. 

I played Landstalker after playing that developer's PS1 game, Alundra. There was a spin-off made for the Super Famicom in Japan called Lady Stalker. That name is kind of unfortunate in English (the main character's name is Lady, there's no stalking as far as I know), but since it never left Japan it doesn't matter, I guess.

I ended up getting more into Mortal Kombat than Street Fighter. The original Mortal Kombat almost swayed me into getting a Genesis. Neither the SNES nor the Genesis version were especially good, but the SNES version, in addition to its infamous censorship, was also a glitchy, buggy mess. The Genesis version played a lot better, and the blood code was a decent compromise to fans that probably kept Congress off of Sega's back. And the music lent itself surprisingly well to the Genesis sound chip, with its own unique sound that I enjoyed more than the arcade. So I almost aked my parents for a Genesis for a Christmas.  Then Nintendo did two smart things: 1) they released a bundle with A Link to the Past as a bundled game, and 2) they dropped the censorship on Mortal Kombat II, and it was probably as close to arcade perfect as you could get on a 16-bit console. So I got a SNES that Christmas.

Dragon Quest XI S just threw me a curve ball

The only thing the PS4 version has on the Switch is graphics. The PS4 version is a great game, but the Switch version is magnificent and truly lives up to being the "Definitive Version".
