Backlogs are rough!

The GBA is my favorite handheld.  Basically because it's a portable souped up SNES.  

Yoshi's Island on the GBA is great, but honestly, the SNES version is still better and I think you can play that on NSO as well.

Golden Sun was one of the few game series on the GBA I missed out on.  I would've loved to play them, but you can't play them all, especially on a system that had so many great games.  One of the reasons why it's my favorite.

The first Mario & Luigi game is one of the best ones.  Bowser's Inside Story is still better, but the first one is still pretty great.

That first WarioWare game was my GOTY when it was released (in 2003 I think).  And I've enjoyed the series ever since.  Only thing I don't like about it is that it kind of killed off the Game & Watch Galleries.

Even though I like Wario Land 2 and 3 more, the 4th one is still amazing.

Do you have the DS version of Namco Museum?  Pac-Man Vs. on that is the best version.

Aw man, I can't believe you beat that Leo & Mia game.  I thought it was awful.

Castlevania Advance Collection is only ten bucks?  I'm not a Castlevania fan, but I wonder if I should give those games a chance?  If I only had the time...

Just keep that Plants vs. Zombies Replanted game on your wishlist and you won't have to worry about Heroes BA.

Only game on that list I liked was Okami, which was my GOTY back in 2006, beating out Twilight Princess.

I don't think those games are even worth 5 bucks.

Aw man, how did I miss Ball X Pit when it came out last year?  I am on Devolver's press list.  There must've been a lot of other games I was reviewing then.

On Activision Anthology, I think if you look through the instruction manuals, they'll tell you what score you need to get the patches.

I know a guy who worked on the Maximo games.  Before them, he worked on Pac-Man World, and after them, he worked on God of War and was even a Disney Imagineer for a while.  Now he makes board games.

Mario & Luigi Brothership is actually a really good game, despite what the reviews say.

I've always been curious about the Monster Hunter Stories games.  There's a new one coming out next month.

I love Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.  It was my GOTY back in 2024.  It's so cool to finally be able to play as Zelda and use monsters to fight for you.

I think I reviewed the sequel to Leo the Firefighter Cat:

I loved Ys Origins.  All the fun dungeons without the fluff!  No shame in lowering the difficulty.  I do it all the time now.  Games should be fun, not frustrating.

Paper Mario Sticker Star is one of the worst Nintendo games ever made.  

I never got into the Hot Shots Golf games, although they look neat.  I wanted to get the newest one because Namco published it and Pac-Man is in it.  Just too many other games to get and play.

Some of them include Agent Otto from Elevator Action, Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble, Bobby from Rainbow Islands, Time Gal, the guy from EXIT, fish boss from Darius, and many more!

I have a feeling the new Bluey game will be better than the first.
