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!
Advent Childern was a lot better than Spirits Within, but to me it felt like a giant invisible kid was playing with FF7 action figures. And they threw a cell phone commercial in it, too.
Oh yeah, the cutscenes in Luigi's Mansion 3 are just dripping with personality. Toad looking over the dashboard to see so he can drive the bus. Or Luigi doing the standard animation for getting a new elevator button, and then realizing it was just inside a ghost rat that swallowed it so he holds it back and goes, "Bleh!" Or E. Gadd laughing at Luigi every time he gets scared. So great. Had the Link's Awakening remake not have been released that year, Luigi's Mansion 3 might've won my GOTY award for 2019.
I have that pinball collection. Pretty great if I remember correctly.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within had nothing to do with Final Fantasy. I was a bit confused.
The Double Dragon movie is really, really, bad, but also fun to watch in a B-movie, MST3K sort of way.
I think I've seen most of the Resident Evil movies, but they all kind of meld together. I guess it helps that I don't play the games.
The Chun-Li movie was so depressing!
The DOA movie was bad, but I don't think it was THAT bad.
But I couldn't sit through the live action Super Mario Bros. movie. And that's saying something, considering how big of a MST3K fan I am. I just don't think Mario would make a good movie, even an animated one. Mario games are great, but they don't have enough substance to carry a movie. If you want to make a movie with Mario characters, do Luigi's Mansion.
I haven't seen the other movies on your list.
I got to the last boss in Metroid Dread but I can't beat him.
Pokemon Snap will probably get high marks in my GOTY blog.
I've played a few of the Fatal Frame games. The first couple on the PS2 are a bit slow and clunky. I liked the 3DS one. Nintendo published it and gave it a different name (Spirit Camera), but it's a Fatal Frame game. It's also more or less a 3DS tech demo, but I still liked it anyway. The new game, Maiden of Black Water (actually it's not that new since it first came out on the Wii U), is fine, but the levels are a bit too long and the game uses all the buttons so I forget the controls sometimes and it's a bit repetitive. But otherwise not too bad.
The map in that monster game makes it look kind of Metroid-ish, too.
I'm playing a scary game right now, too! Well, it's not THAT scary, but it's about ghosts and I like ghosts. I'm working on reviewing Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water!
Congrats on the upgrade. I haven't gotten a Xbox One or X/S yet because there just aren't enough games on it to interest me and make me want to buy one. i've got plenty to play on my PS4 and Switch anyway.
