I never got into snowboard games, so I never played this one.  There is a snowboard game I really like, though.  Namco's We Ski and Snowboard on Wii is very good.  It's a follow up to We Ski and has a spinoff game in Go Vacation.  They all really make you feel like you're at a ski resort.  I recommend trying them if you can.

One snowboard game I never got to play, but would've liked to, is Snowboard Kids and its sequel on N64.  They were made by Atlus and I hear they're pretty good.

If I had more time, I would've love to have played Monster Hunter Stories 2 and Tales of Arise.  At least we both have Ys 9 and Metroid Dread on our lists.  Be sure to read my GOTY blog if you can!

Ys games are great, but yeah, that's the ONLY Falcom game series I play.  I don't have time for Trails in the Sky and other stuff they do.

My brothers loved the Halo games.  I would always call the vehicles you ride around in those games Tractors.  Not sure why, they just made me think of tractors.

Other games like Ys 9 and The Great Ace Attorney came REAL close to getting my GOTY award.  New Pokemon Snap won out in the end, but those others were real close.

Yeah the only other Metroid game I've never been able to beat was Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.  So I'm not BAD at Metroid games.  That last boss in Dread just sucks!

According to Nintendo's records, The Great Ace Attorney is my 2nd most played game this year on the Switch. 1st was Animal Crossing. :)

That's one of the reasons why I do a GOTY blog halfway through the year, to honor those games that get forgotten during the Christmas rush.

Oh yeah, amiibo figures work with Switch games.  They still make new amiibo figures, too.  Remember I recently wrote about the ones for Metroid Dread.

I like those Christmas Skylanders.  It's crazy to think that the toys to life thing was just a fad.  But it sure was a fun one.

I didn't buy any Skylanders, but since I reviewed all the games, I got a lot of them through that.  The toys are really cool, though.  I doubt Activision would re-release the games with the figures digitally like how Skylink did, seeing as how money grubbing they are now.

I got the first Disney Infinity game but I feel like they missed the mark on how toys to life games are supposed to work.

But LEGO Dimensions nailed that aspect on the head and did it right, I feel.  I have a whole bucket full of them since I reviewed a lot of the expanion packs and such.  I love how they implemented other game properties like Portal, Sonic, and Midway classics into it.

I have all the Nintendo amiibo ever released.  Even the ones from Japan only.  I'm very proud of that.

Hey I aim to please. :)

I have a Donkey Kong Jenga set.

Your pretend present is a real life He-Man sword!  It really works, too.  Just hold it above your head, say, "By the power of Grayskull," and then you'll turn into a muscle bound warrior.  And if you aim the sword at any pets you might have, they'll turn into ridable battle animals!

Congrats on getting a Switch.  Now you can get addicted to Animal Crossing!
