I like those Pac-Man figures.
What does the Link Amiibo do in the game? I like the controls in the new Zelda. For whatever reason, I enjoy fighting and doing things in it moreso than BotW.

I’ve got a new batch of sweet and sour reviews I’ve recently cooked up over at GamerDad.com! Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. Ok grab those chopsticks and let’s dig in!
A couple of Christmases ago I got a set of Pac-Man figures where he and the ghost monsters are surrounded by brunch related fruit items. Well this past year they did something similar, except these figures have Pac-Man enjoying Asian types of cuisine. I got these for Christmas last year so I thought I’d show them to you.
The newest Zelda game is out and it’s hot. And of course Nintendo released a new amiibo to go along with it and also of course I got it! So let’s take a look at it! I’ve been enjoying Tears of the Kingdom lately, but it also has a lot of the same things I didn’t like about Breath of the Wild. But at least it’s better on some things. Like actual dungeons and fun bosses. I like to call it “The Legend of Zelda: Nuts & Bolts.” And boy the Internet sure does like Purah! I like Urbosa myself.
A long while back, my favorite video game company, Namco (makers of Pac-Man), made a puzzle game series in Japan called Mojipittan. If you’ve ever played Taiko Drum Master or Go Vacation, you might have seen characters or music from that game. I really wanted Mojipittan to come to the US, but it used the Japanese written language to make the puzzles, kind of like Scrabble. But because of the way Japanese written language works, there’s no way they’d be able to translate it to English. But now we have something a little similar with Kana Quest. It doesn’t play like Mojipittan, as it’s more of a sliding puzzle game where you must match sounds that Japanese written symbols make with other tiles to solve the levels.
Now for a couple of NES style games:
When I was a kid, I loved single screen block pushing puzzle games on the NES. Some of my favorites included the Adventures of Lolo series and Kickle Cubicle. Now there’s a new game in that vein that you can buy as a homebrew NES cartridge, but you can also download it on the Switch. Roniu is a magician’s apprentice who isn’t happy with his lot in life, so he ventures into a dungeon to find his fortune. Inside he finds a ghost of a girl who has been trapped down there for a long time, so together they solve single screen room puzzles.
The Adventures of Poppe (Switch)
Poppe is a brave hunter, but he’s only about an inch tall! Help him travel through a giant sized world fighting bugs and leaping over chasms in this 2-D platformer adventure. The ‘small character in a giant world’ theme makes me think of other games like Blue’s Journey or Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers.
And here’s a couple of games with ‘pals’ in the title.
Volley Pals is a arcade style, pick up and play volleyball romp for up to four players. Choose from a selection of wacky characters, like a cheerleader, blob alien, monkey, etc., and play a simple game of volleyball on an assortment of courts.
Color Pals is a single screen precision 2-D platformer where you control a little colored block. You can collect lightning bolts to change to a different color. But the trick here is that you can only touch blocks of your own color, otherwise you’ll die and have to start the level over again. Collect keys to open blocks and stars for points, too. Make it to the portal in the level to move onto the next.
Pretty Girls 2048 Strike (PS4)
Pick a pretty anime lady in a uniform to fight other pretty anime ladies in monster costumes and battle by playing a number sliding game in Pretty Girls 2048 Strike.
And that’s all for now. Hope you enjoyed your takeout feast of reviews! Thanks for reading and posting ‘likes’ and comments. I do appreciate it. Later! --Cary
