Another interesting thing about Fishing Derby is that it was made by David Crane. He also designed PItfall and A Boy and His Blob. I met David Crane in person twice. Once at E3, and once at the grand opening of the National Videogame Museum.
Crystal Crisis is almost EXACTLY like Puzzle Fighter and it's very good.
Fishing Derby is a much better game than Captain Cat. And Fishing Derby is where the phrase "Shark Element" came from that a lot of developers use to describe risk vs. reward in a game.
Since Nintendo is not making any 3DS games anymore in the forseeable future, I'm going to do a 3DS tribute 'best of' blog sometime in the next month or so.
Yeah if you like cats and Metroid, Gato Roboto is a good one to get.
Yeah when I played the VA-11 HALL-A game, it seemed like something you would like. I even thought of you while playing it. Probably because there is a lot of text in the game, and I know you like to read a lot of books. Thanks for reading!
It's like when I went to see the Grand Canyon. Photos of it just don't do it justice.
Do you have Nintendo's paid online service? I didn't until last week. I got Mario Maker 2, but I got a version of it that came with the online service for half off, so I only had to pay ten bucks for it. So once I got that, I downloaded Tetris 99. Have you played that one yet? It only works if you have the online service, but otherwise, it's free.
If you want to actually pay money for a good Switch downloadable game, try BoxBoy + BoxGirl. It's a whole lotta game for only ten bucks. There si a demo you can download to try before you buy, too.
Stupid Sexy Flanders!
I never played Slalom, but I hear it was pretty good for an early NES title. It's also one of the first games Rare made for Nintendo.
I never really got into ski games, though. Only ones I got into were We Ski and We Ski and Snowboard (and Go Vacation). But they were made by Namco, so I mainly got them for the classic arcade references (which there are lots). One cool thing about those games is that it's like you're at a ski resort, and will probably be the closest thing I get to seeing what a ski resort looks like. But that's OK because skiiing doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy in real life anyway. Too cold.
Huh. I wonder why those two characters. :)
I don't think there's any July games I really want. There's a Umihara Kawase game coming to Switch, but I don't have to have it right away.
I bet they'l re-release and remaster the older KH games on new consoles for a long while, so you'll have a lot of chances to try it again I'm sure.
