The Low-Effort Gamer Show: Popeye


Posted on 01/21/2023 at 04:11 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Probably not, Popeye's popularity began to peter out in the late 80s and has never really recovered. A lot of people attribute this to the poor reception of the Popeye movie. There was a 3-D Popeye game on Switch that was supposed to be a homage to the arcade game, but it mostly made the news for being really bad. When you say "Popeye" nowadays, people think fried chicken, not spinach.

There's a similar store in Phoenix. It has classic gamimg gear but also has an arcade attached with a lot of US and Japanese cabinets. You pay $5/hour to get in, but the machines are set to free play. There are also stations for consoles so people can play stuff like Smash, Tekken 7, or SFV. The classic gaming stuff is a bit on the pricey side, but I did get my repro English translation cart of Mother 3 there for $25 a couple of years ago. I will probably do a streaming/Youtube playthrough of Mother 3 at some point.

The Switch has almost all of Nintendo's arcade classics on it, so I enjoy them there. It's always cool to see DK or its brethren out in the wild, though. Nintendo had the best Golden Age arcade games.

I'd like to see a game based on Garfield's Nine Lives. You remember that one, where a bunch of guest artists and writers wrote the stories? The seventh story had a gruesome ending. And that one was written by Jim Davis himself.

I wouldn't mind seeing a good Garfield adventure.

I also wouldn't mind someone taking a crack at a Heathcliff game, either.

Yeah, I love Popeyes, but sometimes it makes me feel more like Wimpy than Popeye. Wimpy, incidentally, has a hamburger chain named after him in Commonwealth countries, primarily in Britain and South Africa now.

Never would have figured you for a Frank Zappa guy.

My favorite 3-D platformer is still Super Mario 64, with Odyssey being a close second. I actually haven't played a lot of 3D platformers since the N64 era. I would like to see another third-person 3D Metroid game, though. Other M was kind of rough, but it was better than people give it credit for.

Nice. I'm gettting Engage when it comes out. I actually managed to score a collectors' edition, which is nice since I missed out on Xenoblade's CEs.

Tears of the Kingdom is obviously my most anticipated game, and then after that it's Fire Emblem: Engage, Final Fantasy XVI, Tales of Symphonia, and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, which was my favorite farm sim back on Gamecube.

Yoko Taro captured the literary genius of William Shakespeare perfectly in his rendition of Romeo and Juliet.
