I stopped playing mainline Pokemon games after Black and White.  But I'll probably pick up that new Arceus game at some point this year.  I hear it's good and different.

The most notable thing about Chack'n Pop is that it's a Bubble Bobble prototype.  They even use some of the same enemies.  Chack'n also makes cameos in many other Taito games.

I totally agree with you about the music in Yoshi's Woolly World being great, and that it was the closest to reliving the magic of the original game.  Yoshi's Crafted World wasn't near as good, but I liked it anyway.  But then, I also liked Yoshi's Island DS, so what do I know?

Here are more songs from Woolly World that I liked:

I also love how all the tracks in this game are happy and cheerful and then you go into the lava stage and hear this:

I also loved the amiibo support for this game.  I could be a Kirby Yoshi, a Mega Man Yoshi, or a Pac-Man Yoshi!  And if you liked the music in this game, then you should check out Kirby's Epic Yarn (both were made by the same folks).

I'm not big into third person shooter games, but I LOVED Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.  It was the Transformers game i wished for when I was a kid.  I loved being able to transform at any time.  "You mean I have to push through this gauntlet of soldiers shooting at me?  Oh wait, I can turn into a helicopter and fly to the next ledge!  Never mind!"

I wish I would've played Exit, as it was an original Taito game.

I first learned about this game when they ported it to the SNES.  Back then the SNES game was called "On the Ball" in the US.  I always wanted to play it, since it had a Marble Madness vibe, but I never got to play the SNES version!  It was never at any game rental places near me, and I wasn't about to pay full price for it then.  So I'm glad it was on the Taito collection.

I love the jazzy, instrumental tunes of Mario Kart 8.  One cool thing I liked is the title screen music, if you let it play long enough, they play an upbeat version of the ORIGINAL title theme from SNES Super Mario Kart!  Every Mario Kart game has good music, even the RC Mario Kart Live game!  If you listen to my first podcast, you'll learn that SNES Super Mario Kart is one of my top five favorite games of all time!

Are you going to see the Uncharted movie?

I loved Twisted Pixel's games back in the 360 days.  I got to review pretty much all of them.  They were semi-local (Austin, TX), so I would meet them every year at PAX and had good contacts with them.  When they used live action video in games like Comic Jumper and LocoCycle, I even recognized some of the places they filmed!  I loved the humor in those games.  Really miss them.

Is the the game with the little wooden "Meeple?"  I think I played the board game version of this a long time ago with friends.
