I hope I can get my copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons by the end of the week!

Hey Mario games are hard!  I get a lot of people asking me which games they should get for their kids, and they always ask if Mario is a good choice to start out on.  And I always say no.  Start them on Kirby or classic arcade games that are easy to understand.  Mario is too frustrating.

While I've beaten most every Mario game, I've only beaten two to 100 percent: Super Mario World and Super Mario 64.  And even classics like the first and third Super Mario Bros. games, I can't remember if I beat them by myself or if I had a friend or cheat codes to help me.

I do like Mario, but there are SO many other game franchises that I like way more.  Stuff like Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Pac-Man, Mega Man...I like them all way more than Mario.

I thought about you when I saw the LEGO Mario announcement.  I'd like to see a LEGO Mario game, too, because I probably won't get the LEGO sets because they're expensive and I'm not good at building things with tiny parts like that.  I have to have my brother Jeff help me build the LEGO Dimensions sets I reviewed.  I think it would be cool if they made a LEGO Luigi's Mansion set, though.  I think LEGO Zelda should be next. :)

It's true!  Bad Box Art Mega Man is also a playable character.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is a GREAT game.  It almost won my GOTY last year, but I gave that award to Link's Awakening instead.  But it was close!

There is so much more personality in the Luigi's Mansion games.  I know they're planning on making a Mario animated movie, but I think a Luigi's Mansion movie would be better.  Much more personality and story to work with, I think.

Did you hear they're making LEGO Mario sets?  I think a LEGO Luigi's Mansion set would be cool.

Is it that obvious that I like strong women?  That is one of my weaknesses. :)

Juila Chang is cool.  Anna Williams is kind of mean and scary, so I like Nina Williams a little better.  Also in the Wii U version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, you can dress up the characters in Nintendo related outfits, and Nina Williams wears a Zelda dress, so she looks like Princess Zelda after eating a can of spinach.  There's also an android lady with pink hair that's neat, and another lady who looks like the Ridge Racer lady after eating a can of spinach, too.

But aside from strong women characters, I also like cute and silly characters, too.  So aome of my other favorite Tekken characters are the animals like the bear, panda, and kangaroo.  I also like the wooden guy who acts as a training dummy that you can play as sometimes, too.  In Street Fighter X Tekken, Pac-Man pilots the wooden guy like a mech!  And those are all my favorite Tekken characters.

I'd be down with that if they included songs from other Square games like FF Mystic Quest, Secret of Mana, Brave Fencer Musashi, Super Mario RPG, etc.

My first mobile game was Where's My Water?  It was a puzzle game where you use the touch screen to dig holes to flow water so an alligator can take a shower.  It was pretty fun and was published by Disney when they used to have a software branch.  I mostly play mobile games on my iPad, though.

I'm always curious about new Tekken games, but I only get them if I can find them real cheap.  I'm not a fan or anything.  I just like to see if they make any Namco references or have any fun modes.  Can you guess my favorite Tekken characters?

I reviewed Blazing Chrome.  It definitely felt like a long lost Contra game.  Too hard for me, though, I stink at these games.

I loved the Final Fantasy Theatrhythm games!  The first one even won my GOTY when it was released.  If I had a problem with the second one, it's that it almost has TOO many songs!  But is that really a bad thing?  Have you ever played or heard of the arcade version?  I've played it at an arcade near where I live.

Super Mario World is one of the few Mario games I've beaten to 100 percent.

A Link Between Worlds is great.  Although not a good game to show if you are arguing that Nintendo doesn't rehash old ideas.  Still, if I wanted to replay a Zelda game, this would be right up there.
