I loved the GBA. But then, my favorite console is the SNES so that's probably why. Some aspects of the GBA I like even better than the DS and 3DS line.
I'm glad you mentioned Astro Boy: Omega Factor. For some reason, that game really stuck out to me.
There are Taiko games you can download on the PS4 and Switch, but they don't have a physical version in the US. And the downloadable Taiko games are the same price as a physical copy, so I'm not going to get them until they go on sale.
A Mario & Luigi game on the Switch would be neat.
For Christmas last year I got Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far, which has re-releases of pretty much ALL the games in the series on the PS4!
It's been so long since I played the original KH game. I remember it having some problems but I still enjoyed it anyway. Are you playing it on the PS2 or one of the re-releases on later consoles?
As the first game in the series, the original KH game had some problems that needed ironing out. Luckily I don't think you can get stuck in KH3. I just followed my nose in that game and never got lost or didn't know what to do.
Since the Switch Lite is handheld only, it doesn't feel like their handhelds are ending entirely to me.
I do plan on writing a tribute blog to the 3DS in a couple of weeks. Since it's kind of 'dead' and all.
I had a Game Boy when it first came out, but I wasn't impressed with it until I played Link's Awakening many years later. It became my number one favorite Zelda game to this day (can't wait for the remake).
The Wario Land games are WAY better than any of the Mario Land games. Especially Wario Land 2 and 3.
I loved the Game & Watch Gallery games, too! As much as I like WarioWare, as soon as that game came out, there were no more G&W Gallery games. I think WarioWare kind of killed that series.
I never played any of the Mega Man games on GB, which is surprising since I'm such a big Mega Man fan. I do have both the Xtreme games, though.
I'm not a super big fan of the orginal Super Mario Bros., but I will say the Deluxe version on the GBC is pretty amazing for being on a handheld.
When Pokemon came out, I was writing for The Dallas Morning News and covering everything Pokemon related. Because of that, I like to say Pokemon helped pay my way through college.
The GB Donkey Kong game is one of the best arcade remakes to this day. So amazing!
If you like Kirby's Pinball Land, you should try another earlier GB game called Revenge of the Gator. it was also made by HAL and is kind of a prototype to that game.
Another one of my favorite GBC games is Shantae.
I don't know why there isn't more FF stuff in KH3. I sure did like seeing favorites like Tifa, Setzer, and Vivi in the others. All we get in the new game is moogles and a cactrot reference.
I'd love to get the new DQ game, but I just don't have time for long games anymore. I used to could play those kinds of games all the time, but when I did that, those games were only 20 hours long! But if you can play the whole new DQ game in that 16-bit mode they've been showing, I may be more tempted.
Have you downloaded the Collection of Mana on Switch? I wanted to, but there is a physical release of it at the same price coming out at the end of August so I'm waiting for that (already got it reserved). I want to play it NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW! You know how I love SNES stuff. But if I can wait 20 plus years for it, I guess I can wait a few more months as well.
I don't know if KH3 has a demo. I haven't gotten a press release from Square about one anyway.
I don't know if I'll get DQ Builders 2. The first one was great, but I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over in every level, just more frustratingly hard.
Man I love the Disney Afternoon Collection! Most people have fond NES memories of games like Super Mario Bros., but for me, games like Mega Man and DuckTales and Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers is what I have better memories about. I hope you get to play the rest of the games on that collection. They are much better than the ones you played.
