3. Crash Bandicoot- As we all know I love this character and would love to see him get into Looney Toons esque shenanigans each week. He's got enough friends and villains that a few seasons bare minimum can work with some fun slapstick.

2. Sly Cooper- My pick for a more serialized show, Sly 2-4 had a formula that would translate well where Sly and his gang would complete a series a missions before setting up a heist to rob a villain. I think doing each heist in 3-4 episode arcs would make for a really fun show.

1. Mass Effect- First off, I know this is M rated but an R rating never stopped Robocop and The Toxic Avenger from getting Saturday morning cartoons. Second, Mass Effect 2 has a pitch for a kids show/cartoon in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC. The Shadow Broker has dossiers on all of your party members and Mordin's reveals that in addition to his STG work, he's the Salarian equivalent of Bill Nye with his own show where he teaches science to children. I would watch the hell out of The Very Model of a Scientist Salarian conduct crazy experiments and sing Gilbert and Sullivan to teach science.

Cage Match

Primal Rage comes out sweating, barely able to breathe with a giant beer belly. The crowd is immediately disappointed and worried for how it will fair against anyone, even Bloody Roar. But everyone is left waiting until reminded that Bloody Roar is owned by Konami who won't let it out to play. Primal Rage wins

1. If you were a Mass Effect alien race, which one do you think you'd fit into the best and worst?

2. If you were to make a Muppet version of an R rated movie which would it be and which human actors would stay? 

3. What is your beer of choice?

Cage Match:

Tetris blocks start pouring down on Skyrim. It takes a very long time for them to do damage because of the enorm size of the region but towns and villages eventually start getting hit. Then the blocks stop and people look up in the sky and see that they're trapped by the glitches. The player then starts a new game and uninstalls the Tetris mod. Skyrim wins.

Another good podcast. The DS is my favorite handhel, felt unlike the Wii it was full of games that took advantage of its gimmicks rather than the touch screen feeling tacked on. Meteos, Elite Beat Agents, World Ends With You in addition to traditional games like Castlevania and Pokémon. After that my order would probably be 

2. GBA

3. Switch

4. 3DS

5. PSP

3.Burt Reynolds (Saints Row the Third)- Even the zombie, who doesn't say anything else, says "BURT FUCKING REYNOLDS!?" when meeting him

2. Sovereign (Mass Effect)- The second he spoke to me all I could think was "Holy shit I'm fucked." Sovereign was too good of an introduction, Mass Effect 3 had to scramble a convenient super weapon plot together because of it. Or Mass Effect 2 could have let Shepard and Cerberus do SOMETHING to prepare against the Reapers. But I digress.

1. Godot (Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney 3)- A strangely masked man stands across from you. A jazzy tune plays. The judge asks him to remove his mask but drops it after he replies "All men wear masks. Whether over our face or over our hearts." A cup of coffee slides into his hands followed with "Darker than a moonless night. Hotter and more bitter than the depths of hell. That is coffee." And all I can think is "DAMN this guy is smooth!"

Cage Match

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is a game that loosely continues Assassin's Creed 3's story. I prefer games not continuing Assassin's Creed 3's story in any way, shape or form. Mario Odyssey wins.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- Specifically American McGee's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Seeing his twisted take on Alice in Wonderland made me want to see him tackle more books and I think this would be a perfect fit. When you think about it Willy Wonka is basically a slasher villain taking out the kids one by one.

I'd get in touch with Nick or Julian. Nick could put something here and Julian could possibly give a shout out on NWP

I don't trust anyone who doesn't know death by snu snu

Considering he was the only SoR2 character not in 4, I'm gonna guess Skate

I haven't played Alex Kidd in Miracle World, only Enchanted Castle, but I hated that game for all the negatices you listed in your review. I heard Miracle World is a better game but if all that stuff is present, I'll pass. I'd rather get my retro Sega fix with the Streets of Rage 4 DLC

I'm giving it a go and enjoying it now. Having functional controls helps (I couldn't get three swings on Wii without Link flailing in random directions and tested it for half an hour to prove it wasn't just me) and without my usual expectations of a console Zelda I can enjoy what it did well. I do think 2011 was also not a good year for SS to come out either with its competition. If you wanted to explore, Skyrim did that better. If you wanted puzzles, Portal 2 was better. Grounded combat in an interconned world? Dark Souls. Then Arkham City was there for a Zelda-like experience. And all these games were GOTY contenders. So anyone who didn't want motion controls had an arguably better alternative without them, no matter what they want from a Zelda game.
