I know I've told this story before, but I'll tell it again because I like it.  When my brother Jeff was itty bitty, he loved to play with aciton figures.  His play would usually go like this: a giant orange plush dinosaur would savage the land, and the Power Rangers couldn't stop it.  Not even Batman could stop it.  But the Mega Man action figure I got for him would always save the day.

But one day he was watching me play Super Metroid and when I beat it, he started crying and sniffling and said "Is the...sniff...Baby Metroid...sniff...going to be okay?"  He was only 3.  I think he also cried when Zero died at the end of Mega Man X.  Anyway, after that, the hero who would always defeat the orange dinosaur wasn't Mega Man anymore, but a jellyfish beanie baby that he dubbed the Baby Metroid.

It would be cool if they did.  That game deserves a remaster.  It was my GOTY in 2005.

The two Sonic and SEGA All Star racing games are some of the only kart racers to rival Mario Kart in some areas.

I like the characters from the first game better, but the tracks from the second game are better.

But any game where you can play as Ulala can't be all bad. :)

Have you played their third game, Sonic Team Racing?  It's not as good as the others, but it does have some good ideas as far as teamwork is concerned, like sharing items and such.

I didn't know there was a Costume Quest comic.  I think there was a cartoon about it, though.

I didn't know there was a Fast and Furious cartoon until I saw the McDonald's toys, too.

Like Darius, The Ninja Warriors in the arcade was three screens long.  I only saw Darius in two arcades, but I saw The Ninja Warriors EVERYWHERE.  And it was in those arcades for a long time, too!  I never really got into it like I did Darius, though.

I did review The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors last year.  It's not a remake of the arcade game, but it's a remake of the SNES game you just talked about!  I never played it on the SNES since I wasn't that big into the arcade game.

As an avid Nintendo Power reader as a kid, I remember all those comics.  There was also an interesting Super Metroid comic, too.

The first tactics game I played was Final Fantasy Tactics on PSOne.  What I learned from that game was that I don't like tactics games.  But I am working on reviewing a tactics game right now!  The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics.  I actually like this one, but I don't know if it's because the game is good or if I really like The Dark Crystal and I can set the game on a super easy setting!

I think just about any Capcom franchise would make great Valeintines!  Thanks for reading!

I never really got into sports games, so I never played this.  Saw it a BUNCH in arcades, though.  Even the cartoon Regular Show made references to this game!

My favorite sports game for the longest time was Super Dodge Ball on the NES.  But then Wii Sports came and dethroned it.
