Hello everyone! So if you're like me, you tend to not replay lengthy games because there are so many new games that I want to beat and time is of the essence. BUT there are so many games that I've beaten that I would LOVE to play again. So I thought why not have a whole month dedicated to replaying games? I'm totally making this up, but if you would like to join me, replay one of your favorite games this month and tell us about it and why you love it so much.
For me, I will be replaying not one, but two of my favorite games ever:
Viewtiful Joe and Viewtiful Joe 2 for Gamecube
I'm cheating (2 games) because both of these are pretty short games. You can look forward to my posts each Saturday this month as I tell you why I love these games so much and why I think Joe needs to make a comeback (c'mon, Capcom!).
Once again, feel free to share a game that you love and take some time to play it again this month! That's all!
I have to admit, I have played a few Final Fantasy games multiple times. 
But since I've become an adult, I generally don't replay games. When I was a kid though, and nothing else to do, I played games I liked over and over.
I've never played Viewtiful Joe. I remember almost buying it a couple times, but I never did. Has it been re-released or remastered? I suppose not. I would buy it.
Viewtiful Joe is amazing (it's a shame you didn't get it). You will have to read my blogs about it, I will convince you to get it. Sadly, it hasn't been remade, remastered, or rereleased, which is why it's talked about so little these days.
Viewtiful Joe was cool as shit. I think the first game being GC exclusive doomed it's exposure and stature. It should have been a much popular series than it was.
The first game was GC exclusive at first, but was ported to the PS2 the following year. But it probably still hurt sales (I'm not sure how well the PS2 version sold). There was a total of four games in a very brief amount of time (and a cartoon), so that's impressive, but yeah, I wish it had been more popular.
Both my friend Mark and I loved Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on GameCube way back when. I used to have my copies too until recently. I just saw some of the TV shows on DVD recently and almost bought one. I'm not sure what they're like.
My friend Mark has been replaying Sid Meier's Pirates over and over recently on Xbox One. I've also played the game a bunch back in OG Xbox days, one of my favorites. Maybe I'll jump in too.
Yeah, and feel free to share your thoughts on Pirates. Concerning the VJ cartoon, it's great, I have most of the DVDs (I wish they'd release the whole series as one set, but there are 8 DVDs if you want to get them all).
Wow, that's a lot.
The Viewtiful Joe games were great. A bit too hard, but still neat. The cartoon was awful, though.
I don't really replay games as much as I used to. Mainly due to lack of time. However, when Super Mario 3-D All-Stars came out, I played a bit of Mario 64, but since I had played it to death before, I didn't finish it here. Then I started up Super Mario Sunshine and forgot how frustrating it is, so I put it down. Then I played Super Mario Galaxy and beat it again. I forgot how GREAT that game was. I think it may be my second favorite Mario 3-D platformer. My first is still Mario 64, but I think I liked Galaxy even more than Oddessey!
But right now I'm mostly playing New Pokemon Snap! It's great so far!
Ok, hold on, the VJ cartoon is great, not sure what you don't like about it. It's ridiculous at times, but it can get away with it since VJ in general is a huge parody. I think it's really fun to watch. But at least we both agree on the games. The first game isn't too difficult, but the second game can be really tough.
Man, whatever happened to Viewtiful Joe? Like, how has he not even showed up in Smash Bros. by now?
I would lose my mind if they put him in Smash!!!! (that'll never happen)
