I know Reiko is a secret character in games like Namco's Smash Court Tennis series and We Cheer, so maybe she also likes tennis and cheerleading. Boy I don't know much about my pretend wife, do I? :)
Where do people who live in Hawaii go on vacation?
I've never gotten into Ultima, but I think that's interesting they made a Game Boy game and it's reworked to be an action adventure game.
After I played Secret of Mana on the SNES, I went back and played Final Fantasy Adventure on GB because even back then, I knew those games were related. It was good, but still couldn't hold a candle to Link's Awakening. But then, Link's Awakening is my number one favorite Zelda game. In fact, I was more excited when Nintendo announced the Link's Awakening remake on Switch than I was about the Ocarina of Time remake they just announced at the last recent Direct.
Did you know the developers of Patapon have made a spiritual successor game called Ratatan? It comes out this summer.
Castle Crashers is one of the best Xbox LIVE games and one of the best console beat 'em ups. I played it a lot on the 360.
I'm working on reviewing a mobile Peggle-like game right now. Unfortunately, it's not that good.
Yeah I don't really like dating in games or dating sims. I'm bad enough at that in real life, why would I want to do that in a game? Dating is like a job interview, but worse!
A few games I've played that feature dating include the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Rune Factory games. I don't remember which games had which ladies, but I remember Farmer Man Cary courting a lady blacksmith, a pretty and flirty writer named Iris, and a super tough lady knight. Also in Final Fantasy 7 you could go out on a date at the Gold Saucer amusement park. I was glad I got to date Tifa. She's one of my favorite characters in that game, not because of the fan service, but because she's one of the only characters in that game who is actually nice to others. Most other characters in that game are jerks!
You know in Tomodatchi Life, you can send your Miis on vacation. And two of the vacations include a European tour and a Medterranian tour. So Monoco might be one of those spots. I'll have to see next time I pop in that game.
Overthinking things a bit, I wonder if Reiko would really like going to Monoco for a vacation even though she already works with race cars. I mean, that would be like me going to a plumbing supply place on my days off!
Overthinking things a bit more, I think it's ironic that Reiko married a Mii based on me, who is blind in one eye and can't drive a car! And she's in a game series all about cars! In real life, I've actually been turned down by a few ladies I've asked out because I couldn't drive. Sad, but true. Oh well, it is what it is.
But of all the video game characters out there, I won't complain if my Mii wants to marry Reiko, if you know what I mean.
OK enough of that. I MIGHT get to review an upcoming shooter with really interesting graphics, so I'll keep you posted on how that goes.
Speaking of Skylanders, did you know that the developers of those games, Toys for Bob, recently bought themselves back from Microsoft so they could be an indie developer and make games they want to make like the recently announced new Spyro game, A Realm Beyond?
Had I bought The Orange Box when it first came out, I would've given Portal my GOTY instead of Mario Galaxy. But I waited untli the next year and got it for 20 bucks.
And of course you know that Pac-Man CE was the reason why I got a 360, Puzzle Fighter 2 is one of my top favorite puzzlers, and Odin Sphere was awesome.
BattleBlock Theater is basically just an enhanced version of the PDA games from Alien Hominid.
I loved Twisted Pixel. So many funny games that they probably couldn't do now because everyone is afraid to be funny because they might offend someone. Twisted Pixel was located in Austin, TX, too, which I thought was cool. Loved seeing them at E3 and PAX every year. Same with The Behemoth.
I played Half Minute Hero on my PSP and loved it. One of my top five favorite PSP games.
The first Theatrhythm game on the 3DS was my GOTY when it was released.
I like the garbage truck dog because when I was very little, I loved to run to the back of the house on garbage day and watch the garbage truck go by. I think if Paw Patrol were around when I was a little kid, I would've had that garbage pup be my favorite, too. Also I like green. I think it's funny that we are adults talking about our favorite Paw Patrol characters. But then, the show and toys and movies and games of it are cute.
Taiko Drum Master is my favorite music/rhythm game series. Before then it was Samba de Amigo.
I enjoyed DK Bananza. I thought it was better than Mario Oddyssey.
