So when I read that Bandai Namco was having a sale, and the Switch Taiko game was only 20 bucks, I bought it right away.  The game is called Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun, by the way.  I'm a HUGE fan of the Taiko games, but I wasn't about to pay 50 bucks for a download only title that's just a straight port of the Japanese version, which had an English option anyway.  And it didn't come with any drum periphrials either.  I would've liked to have imported the physical Japanese version instead, but it costs over 60 bucks and that's without the crazy import shipping prices.  I never had to pay that much for previous Taiko games I imported on the DS and PSP.  Anyway so I'm glad it finally was on sale, now I need to wait for the PS4 version to go on sale.  So is it worth 20 bucks?  Well, maybe.  Since it's just a straight port of the Japanese version, all the songs are in Japanese, so I hope you like J-Pop!  Even the Disney Moana song on there is in Japanese.  I'll still play the heck out of it, but yeah, it's not worth 50 bucks!  So if you want it for 20 bucks, you'd better buy it before Oct 21st when the sale ends.

When I played Kid Chameleon on one of the Genesis collections, it was better than what I thought it would be.  Just a fun little hop and bop platformer.  Nothing special and it ain't no Mario World, but not bad either.

The main game I played in September was Link's Awakening.  I just beat it, too.  Now, aside from the many games I'm revieweing, I'm also playing a game where you get to be a goose, and a jerk goose at that.

Aside from the many games I'm reviewing, I just beat Link's Awakening on Switch.  Great game.  Now I'm playing a game where you get to be a goose and a jerk goose at that.  Very fun.  In October I'm looking forward to games like BurgerTime Party, RingFit Adventures, and Luigi's Mansion 3.

I do enjoy my Switch a lot, I really do.  But I don't rave about it like many others do.  For one, the controllers SUCK!  They don't feel right no matter how you hold them, although they feel best when they're in that little holder you use when the Switch is docked.  And that whole drifting thing?  I've got a left JoyCon all ready to send to Nintendo this week to be repaired.  And don't get me started about their onine service.  I know I only paid ten bucks for it, but it works worse now than when it was free!  So yeah, the Switch is far away from my favorite Nintendo console.

The only time I play my Switch in handheld mode is when I'm on my lunch hour at work.  And then I only play it for about 30 minutes or so.  I really prefer playing it on the big TV.  Many games don't even utilize handheld mode very well.  For instance, the text in many games on the Switch is way too small in handheld mode.  And even though I review a lot of games on the Switch, if I have a choice, I'll request a PS4 review code first.

If you've already played it on 3DS, you're not missing much.

There were so many good games in September I had to skip out on some of them.  I'd love to play the entire new DQ game in 16-bit mode, but it'll have to wait as I don't have time right now.  I just beat Link's Awakening, which I enjoyed, and I just now downloaded the Untitled Goose Game  HONK!

Wow you've played that Mario Kart Tour game more than I have!  I just got to level 7!

Oh man, if you liked the original Dark Crystal movie, then you've GOT to see the new Netflix show.  It's so good.  

My favorite Sesame Street Muppet is Oscar the Grouch (and Bert).  My favorite regular Muppet is the Swedish Chef.  My favorite Fraggle is Boober...I could go on and on.

I don't mind trying mobile games.  I still play the Animal Crossing one because I'm nuts.
