Yeah I don't expect people to read ALL the way through my blogs like this, so I keep the ones I think are most important right on top.  That's a technique I laerned in college majoring in Journalism.  Of course now online 'journalists' pad their stories so you can scroll through all the ads before you get to the useful information.  That was called 'burying the lead' back when I was in college, and was a big no-no.  I guess not now.

For Game Boy, DK 94 is great.  I got a Game Boy Camera on sale at Wal-Mart for like, ten bucks one time.  Neat little thing.  I love the Wario Land games.  I think I like them more than Mario ones.  Wario Land 2 is especially great.  Maybe add Link's Awakening to your list as that's my number one favorite Zelda game.

The SNES is my favorite game console ever.  So many good ones.  I mostly played RPGs back in the day.  FF4, 6, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, etc.  But so many other good games, too.  I actually stay away from the SNES selections on Nintendo Switch Online because I'd never get anything done if I started down that rabbit hole!

I never had a Genesis as a kid since I had a SNES.  But later on when I played Streets of Rage 2, I was surprised on how good it was.

You playing it on the Switch?  Yeah JoyCon controllers suck.

I don't know if you've ever noticed this or not, but when I write these 'review blogs,' I put the games that I found most interesting up on top, and the lesser ones down below.

Here's my review of that game:

I loved introducing my brother Jeff to retro games when he was little and see what things he liked that were different from the things I liked.  One game that he really liked that I wasn't into as much was Excite Bike.  I thought it was cool seeing how he enjoyed it.

I had the opportunity to review games like PlateUp! and A Little to the Left, but they didn't interest me enough to want to play them.

I just finished reviewing a Story of Seasons game.  Well, sort of.

I stopped selling my games a long time ago.  Just not worth it to me.

Chip N Dale is also a two player simultaneous co-op game, so it would be something you could play with your friends.

Yeah I'll probably preorder it too around that time.  The thing I remember most about that game is how well the script was written.  I can't wait to go through it again and see if it still holds up as well.  I bet it does.

I loved the Disney Afternoon Collection.  So glad Capcom put that out.  Whilie many people have fond memories playing Mario and such on the NES, a lot of my nostalgia comes from the Disney Afternoon games.  DuckTales in particular is pretty amazing.  I would say you should try Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, but technically that came out in 1990.

If it weren't for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, DuckTales remastered would've been my GOTY for 2013.

I'd say stick with the pixel remaster for Final Fantasy.  The original NES game had too many things I find annoying.  For instance, if two characters are chosen to attack the same enemy, and the first guy defeats it, the second guy won't auto target another enemy.  He'll just swing his weapon and miss.
