I'd go stamina personally, lets you get to a bunch of new areas easier. Like transmet said, get a full extra circle then start filling up some hearts.

I'm looking forward to Biomutant, Bloodstained, Darksiders 3, Bayonetta 3, Dragonball Fighterz, The Last of Us 2, and The Last Night. Also looking forward to see whatever Nintendo announces for the Switch next year, should be good.

Yeah, that one was okay. Kind of dull at parts. Think they made her up for the movie, don't remember her from any of the comics or cartoons.

Thor was fun, reminded me a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy. Didn't see Justice League, but Lex has made an Injustice League before, along with the Legion of Doom so either of those could be his name. Coco was my favorite movie this year, maybe my favorite Pixar movie ever. It hit really close to home for me since my grandma is pretty much in the same state Mama Coco was.

Star Wars was my favorite since Empire. I understand completely why some people hate it, but I love that this one did something different, especially since what it did that was different was exactly what I wanted personally. 

If Julian's glowing review wasn't enough, he and I usually never agree on games, but I thought The Evil Within 2 was one of the best titles of the year and is one of my favorite horror games as well. And like Julian, I was not a fan of The Evil Within 1, I hated that game.

3. Larry Butz's theme from Ace Attorney-This is my pick for music I'd expect in a shop. There's half a dozen great picks from Ace Attorney for this, but nothing fits the frustration I feel from going out shopping than trying to get information from Ace Attorney's infamous moron Larry Butz trying to cover up his stupid shenanigans. 

2. Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire shop theme

Even though the GBA Pokemon games are my least favorite in the series, they have the best music in the series without a doubt. It was so good the DS Pokemon games even reused it.

1. Rahman Origins: Tricky Treasure Chase- Going a different direction for this. Picture that scene from countless Christmas movies and TV specials where someone scrambles to finish their Christmas shopping at the last minute, usually leading to a cheesy musical montage with lots of running and fighting. Now imagine this plays during said montage 

Personally, I'm hoping for a middle ground between the two next game. I do like just roaming around these worlds, but I'd like secrets to lead to stages similar to Sunshine's FLUDD-less ones. There were a few similar to that in Odyssey, but I'd prefer if they were part of the core experience as Galaxy is by far my favorite take on 3D Mario. Feel that could be a good compromise, have enough of each that people can progress just by doing the exploration moons or seeking all the challenge stages.

Captain Marvel is actually really complicated. Originally it was a character unrelated who's now owned by DC. He was a 10 year old boy who turned into a superhero when he yelled "Shazam" which is now what he's called. There was a lawsuit over Captain Marvel later for being too similar to Superman and the rights were dropped. Then when Marvel became and saw DC had the rights to Captain Marvel, they created a character named Mar-Vell who was their Captain Marvel. He saved Carol Danvers, who absorbed some powers from him and became Ms Marvel until 2012, when she took the mantle Captain Marvel. The current Ms Marvel you mentioned was a massive fangirl of Carol Danvers so she took the name when she got super powers of her own.

I wouldn't say I adore it, but Call of Duty Ghosts is probably top 3 in the series for me. Most the hated games I like still have a huge fanbase like Mass Effect 3, but everyone seems to shit on Ghosts. Thing is, it and MW1 are the only games in the series where I remember every level and the encounters actually felt pretty well designed. The story was stupid, but I got the feeling the game was aware of this fact which helped.

Yeah, Julian's right on 1985. You can only go with Super Mario Bros, but I feel Gauntlet and Carmen Sandiego at least deserve shout outs.
