I reviewed Fishing Master: World Tour a long time ago:

The hand drawn sprite work in Wario Land: Shake It is amazing. And Captain Syrup makes her triumphant return!
The Sonic racing games are really good, too. My favorite characters to play as are Ulala and Tails.
That's a good idea, but Robbie is doing a web comic with his own characters right now, so I doubt he'd do another one at the same time.
Yeah I think it's cool they have a theme song. I wonder how they did that? I wish my podcast had a theme song!
Each member of their podcast has an animal alter ego to go along with them, just for fun I guess. James is a raccoon, Pemmy is a dragon, and Krissy is a wolf. The first podcast I was a guest on was for the Pac-Man cartoon, and they asked me what kind of animal I would like to be for it. I really couldn't think of anything (what kind of animal do you think I would be?) but then I thought that since we were going to talk about the Pac-Man cartoon and I really like the ghost monsters, then I could be a ghost monster, too. Pemmy said that was oddly fitting for me, and he even drew a picture of me as a ghost monster for the podcast. You can see that picture here;

Only thing I know about Eltrian Odyssey is that I think Yuzo Koshiro did the music. Definitely would be a selling point to me if I had time for those games.
Only thing I know about Arcana is that it was made by HAL Laboratory, makers of Kirby and Smash. I'm a huge fan of HAL Labs, but Arcana is one of the few of their games I've never played. I hear Kirby makes a 'blink and you'll miss it' cameo, though.
Darkwing Duck definitely isn't dark. In fact, it's one of the more slapstick of the Disney Afternoon cartoons. But it's still good.
"Pemmy" on the podcast has been my for real life in person friend for over 20 years and lives in the same area I do. I'm friends with the others as well, but I've only ever known them online.
When I hear "isometric shooter" I think of the view that you see the action in, like an isometric perspective. To that end, I think of Zaxxon and a later game called Viewpoint.
Do you think you'll try and get that Ghostbusters twin stick shooter?
Stardew Valley is really no different than Harvest Moon, I don't know why everyone makes a big deal of it. But I think if you find farming boring, than try one of the Rune Factory games. They streamline the farming parts so it goes faster, which gives you more time to explore dungeons and fight monsters! You can even befriend monsters and have them work on your farm!
I think since I'm not a big fan of Pikmin, it was harder for me to get into Farmagia. But it did have some Monster Rancher vibes and some of the anime character designs are cool.
Cyber Cowboy isn't really that great. You're better off just playing Smash TV.
Luckily I think the red ring only happened to me twice. If it happened to me a third time, I would've said 'three strikes and you're out' and never would've played my 360 again. Almost happened with my Switch with JoyCon drift, too.
