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.

I didn't know there was a NInja Gaiden game on DS.  Or if I did, I forgot about it.

Yeah, running around Disney worlds is about all I like in Kingdom Hearts.

In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (the one on PSP), there is a Lilo and Stitch world, but it's kind of a prequel so the world is set in space when Stitch was just Experiment 606.  So you explore a lot of spaceship type areas in that world.

We all have unpopular opinions about games.  Some of mine include that I don't think most Sonic games are very good, and that I also think Kirby is better than Mario.  Another one of my unpopular opinions is that I don't like Earthbound very much.  In fact, when I was first trying out to write for The Dallas Morning News, I had to submit two reviews: one for a game I liked, and one for a game I didn't like.  Since I was big into 16-bit RPGs at the time, the review of the game I did like was for FF6.  And for the one I didn't like?  You guessed it, Earthbound.

The two main reasons why I don't like it is that one, I feel that the battle system is antiquidated, especially when compared to more fun battles in games like FF6.  I just felt like I had stepped back to the clunky NES RPG days.  The other reason why I don't like it is the story.  Normally story isn't that important to me, it's only important in an RPG just to tell you where to go next.  And that's where the problem lies in Earthbound.  The story is so nonsensical that it's hard to tell where to go sometimes.  When the game was released in the US, it came with a strategy guide for a reason.

Since I can play Earthbound easily now on my SNES Mini Classic, I'm willing to give it a second chance now.  But it's also not as big of a priority for me to do so since I have so much other stuff to review and play.  But I will say one good thing about Earthbound.  it really pioneered good RPG translation.  Before this, even great RPGs like FF6 were a bit of a stiff and clunky read.  But games like Earthbound and Super Mario RPG really paved the way for better game translations.

I reviewed a DOA game on the PS3.  If you can get past the fanservice, it's actually a pretty good fighting game.  And one of the characters has purple hair!

The DOA Volleyball games aren't very good, though.  If you want a good volleyball game, play SEGA's Beach Spikers on GameCube instead.

I wonder if Go Shiina did the music like he did for the other God Eater games.  That's really the only thing that interests me about the God Eater games because he is my favorite game music composer.

Well let's see.  KH3 actually came out in Feburary.  I didn't get a chance to start playing it until May.  And I just now beat it at the end of June.  So yeah.

Well I've played the old 2-D NInja Gaiden games, but not the 3-D ones.  Not my cup of tea I guess. Do they still play the same tune when you die like in the NES games?

Do you play the Dead or Alive fighting games?  Ryu from NInja Gaiden is in those, too.

Simpsons and Futurama worlds would be cool, but I don't know if Disney would want Donald and Goofy cavorting around those more adult themed worlds.

Yes I loved those little games!  Right up my alley!  Like I said, if Square made a seperate game that was nothing but those mini classic games, I might download it.  And wouldn't it be cool if they made physical versions of those?
