I remember playing the arcade NInja Gaiden game before the NES one. But then, I played Super Mario Bros. in the arcade before the NES, too. I also know that Ninja Gaiden arcade was two player, because I remember playing it with my friend. One was a blue ninja and one was a red ninja. I also remember where we played arcade Ninja Gaiden, too. It was a place called Fun Factory at the Furneaux Creek strip mall.
I just finished Kingdom Hearts 3! I'm working on a blog about it now! Should be up later this coming week.
Back when I first got a 360, I was playing more games online with friends, as it was a novelty and fairly new at the time to be doing that on consoles. But as time went on, they kind of gravitated toward the PS3. But now I don't play online games hardly anymore, so it's just back to whatever consoles have most of the games that interest me.
I'm looking forward to your impressions of the LEGO Forza stuff, since I probably won't ever see it myself.
Yeah time is more of a commodity for me than money.
I think the only times I've ever had all the consoles out on the market were when the Dreamcast came out and I had the PS2, Dreamcast, and N64 all at once. And then for a short while later, I had the 360, PS3, and Wii all at once. Any other time there was always one console I didn't have. Like the SEGA Master System, Genesis, 7800, Saturn, Original Xbox, and Xbox One. Never had those.
Most of the time, console exclusives don't annoy me because the ones I want are usually on the systems I have. But every now and then one trickles out on the Xbox One. Still not enough to make me buy one yet, though.
I wrote a blog about my take on E3 if you'd like to read that.
I've been playing some downloadable Switch games lately, too. I'd recommend BoxBoy + BoxGirl. It's an action puzzle game made by the same folks who make the Kirby games. You can download a demo, too. The price is right at only ten bucks, especially considering there's hundreds of levels.
I would not recommend Cadence of Hyrule, though. It does have Zelda elements, but it's not worth the 25 bucks download cost. I think they just used the Zelda name to price gouge.
Ninja Gaiden really did pioneer cut scenes in consoles. Nobody else was really doing that at the time, so it was kind of a big deal.
I rented Ninja Gaiden a couple of times and my friend even bought the sequel. Those games were way too hard for me, though! I still remember the death tune because I heard it so much. "Dun-dun-dun, dun, dun-dun-dun-dun, DUN-DUN-DUN!"
I love cel-shaded graphics.
Double Fine being bought by Microsoft is great if you have an Xbox One. But if you don't, then too bad!
You'll have to let us know what you think of the LEGO stuff in Forza.
