I still need to play Night in the Woods.

Yeah, I didn't play the GBA one, but I wanted to mention the PC version I did play. 

I remember Samurai Goro and wasn't there also a Mr. Arrow? I know the F-Zero roster better than some fighting games, since I played every game in the series. 

I think we did discuss that Taki and Cassandra were two of your favorites, and I think maybe Nightmare?

Interesting ... apparently some of P.N. 03's gameplay was used in Bayonetta later on.

Ok, I thought so. 

I remember that, but I never watched it.

I've never played MM Legends, so no offense taken.

I'll see if I can get a cheap copy.

Yeah, I never played Boktai either, but I remember thinking the concept was interesting/weird. I wonder if those cartridges still work today. 

That stinks. I'm always surprised by how much Mario Sunshine still goes for. 

Man, there need to be more games where you can play as Tom Selleck. 

I wonder if the Japanese devs in the day were as drug-fueled as early Atari devs. I would watch that documentary. 

Those mountain faces are eerie. 

I still want to see that Speed Racer  movie. 

Easter eggs? Are you guys a Walgreens? What about favorite video game couples? Well, fine. 

Honestly, I rarely find Easter eggs in games, so the only ones I can think of are ones I know about, like the map hidden in Arkham City the developers had to tell people was there, and the newspaper in The Last of Us that references events from Uncharted 3, or was it vice versa? I love Easter eggs that connect multiple games or universes together. 

Otherwise, I consider the entire game Yakuza 0 one giant Easter egg, basically thanking me for having finally discovered the series. 

Basically, I don't find Easter eggs, so count or don't count whichever of those you want.

My memories of the 1987 Metroid come from playing it on Gamecube after beating Metroid Prime and on the GBA cartridge of Zero Mission. 

Honestly, the game was too labrynthine and challenging in annoying ways (enemies glitching through doors)for me to spend much time with it, but I did at one point "beat" it using the Justin Bailey cheat code. So that's an Easter egg I at least used, even though the only reason I knew about it was reading Electronic Gaming Monthly. 

I'm just wondering what property Sony or Microsoft has that would outsell the actual console at launch, the way BotW did. 

I think they could be successful, but the 110% adoption rate of that game during the Switch's launch is a big part of its success, and as Machocruz said, I'm not sure what non-Nintendo properties would really have the same selling power. 

In any case, I would LIKE for Sony and Microsoft to be competitive in the handheld market and I think your ideas are good, but now I'm really curious: do Sony and Microsoft really have a killer app franchise like that? Personally, I bought my PS4 because of the variety I expected it to have, and I chose correctly, but a lot of the stuff I play wouldn't sell a system on its own.

I always loved the water graphics for Gamecube, especially Wave Race: Blue Storm (which I think I might have missed on here ... dammit, Wikipedia) and Sunshine. So shiny. 

Well, you and everyone else looking at the sales figures. But on my playground there was a big war between Gamecube and Xbox and I was GCN all the way. But most everyone also had access to a PS2 ... yeah, little me was kind of insufferable. 

Like I said, I'm not really aware of which year/versions of these games I played, since I never got them every year. Maybe my brother did, but I'm not going to say for sure, and there's nothing for me to really talk about, since I barely understood football at the time. Any features they added would have been lost on me. 

The ONE thing in a football game I remember thinking was super cool was you could watch fans tear down the goalpost in an NCAA game. I rented it specifically to see that happen, only for EGM to run a correction saying that feature was only in their review copies. That got me pretty salty, honestly. 

I only really know Ryu and the old drunkard as far as VF characters. Like I said, I wasn't really a huge fan of the game.

I don't think Sly Cooper and Crash Bandicoot are much alike at all, personally. The platforming in Sly is much smoother and simpler. Crash has that level of frustration to it Sly just doesn't and while it's still platforming-based, Sly puts a lot more emphasis on stealth. It's much more open than Crash as well. Sorry, I just really don't see the comparison outside of both being platformers, but I like both.

Is your mom into Dracula or Twilight style vampires?

I loved Wind Waker's style once I actually played it, but I always thought those early screenshots were pretty dark and rough. It seems a lot of people who grew up with the original game's instruction booklet artwork were a lot more fond of those visuals.
