I reviewed Pong Quest a few years ago:

I hope you get to try Arkanoid DS. In Japan, you could get a paddle controller for it as well. It hooked into the GBA slot on the original DS. I imported one. It also works with Space Invaders Extreme.
I reviewed the Dungeons and Dragons games that Capcom put out on Wii U a long time ago. Those are about the only ways I'd be interested in playing D&D.

I also reviewed I Am Bread. I don't think I was impressed.
Yeah I'd like to try Golf Story. I think I requested a review code when it first came out but never got it.
The only thing that interests me about the Etrian Odyssey games is that I think Yuzo Koshiro did the music for them.
I'd also like to try the Endless Ocean games but they're not quite as high on my radar.
I think Kura Sushi was only doing that Pikmin promotion for like, a month, so I'm not sure if they'll be still doing that when you go.
I have a few of those My Arcade machines. I think I have the Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and BurgerTime ones. Sadly they only play the NES versions of those games.
YOUR pretend present is an armored suit and futuristic weapons you can use to blast bugs like in the Earth Defense Force games!
I always wanted to try Golf Story. I think I even tried to request a review copy of it.
Here's another sample of the music. Keep in mind this is playing while you're simply bopping a ball back and forth with a paddle. Taito's in-house band, Zuntata, is awesome.
The Arkanoid series is special to me because it's one of the few games my dad really likes. It was one of the first games I got on the NES, too!
I don't think Brothership's that bad at all. Sure it's not the best in the series and there are some parts that are slightly annoying and tedious, but overall I'm enjoying it.
When I was a kid, I loved the LucasFilm Games point and click adventures. My favorite was Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. I also really like the Sam & Max games.
I don't know if they have a demo of it, but maybe try Ys VIII as well. One of my brothers once described it as "Jurassic Park: The JRPG."
Arkanoid DS got a lot of bad reviews, but I really liked it. It's my favorite in the series. The music is SO good that I imported the soundrack on CD. I felt like the music was wasted there, but luckily Taito repurposed all the songs in their music game series Groove Coaster which you can play on mobile devices, consoles, and even in the arcade!
