I don't play games on my phone mostly because I like to be more aware of my surroundings when I'm out and about.  The only games I played on my cell phone were ones that would only work on that format, not on an iPad.  So I played Pokemon GO for a little while as well as Pikmin Bloom and Pac-Man GEO, but that's it.  I do like playing some games on my iPad, though.  Especially the Animal Crossing mobile game.  That thing's been around for more than 4 years and I still play it!

I never played these games, but I watched my brother Jeff and his friends play a couple of them.  Since I watched a lot of Batman: The Animated Series as a teen in the 90's, I knew who most of the characters were in the games, too.  Which is unusual, because since I don't get into comic books, I have a hard time remembering all the names in those Marvel movies and such.

I really liked New Super Lucky's Tale.  It was definitely a callback to 3-D platformers in the N64 and GameCube eras, and while it wasn't perfect, it still put a smile on my face.  And games don't do that near as much for me anymore.

I really liked the orchestral songs in Galaxy.  It fit so well!  Super Mario Galaxy was my GOTY back in 2007.  Portal would've gotten my GOTY that year, but I didn't play it until the next year, when The Orange Box went down in price.  But Galaxy is still worthy of that award.  When the Super Mario 3-D All-Stars game came out, I played all three games on it again, but Galaxy was the only one on it I actually finished again.  Mario 64 may still be my favorite 3-D Mario title, but Galaxy is a close second.

I loved this game back in the arcade!  Did you know it was actually made in the US for Taito?

Viewtiful Joe games were great.  A bit too hard, but still great.  There are a lot of funky tunes in those games.  None of it was particularly memorable to me, but once you hear a song from the game, you know where it's from, so they are recognizable.

They do make lots of Paw Patrol toys!

A bold statement for me to make, but I liked Card Fighters Clash more than Pokemon.  So I do hope you can try it.

Which one is on GamePass?  Windjammers 1 or 2?  Actually it really doesn't matter.  Both are practically the same game anyway.

I don't really play games on my phone either.  Most mobile games I just do on my iPad at home.  But Pikmin Bloom is more of a walking app than a game, so if you are on your feet all day or like to walk a lot, you might want to give it a try.  It entertained me for a couple of months anyway.

It's a bold statement for me to make, but I like Card Fighters Clash more than Pokemon.  So yeah you should try it!

Shame you never got to play them and don't have the maracas anymore.  It's a really fun title and almost as good as the Taiko games.  They made a Wii version that you use the remotes with (not as good), but it did have Ulala in it so it can't be that bad. :)
