I'm very happy about Mario Maker 2 and ESPECIALLY Link's Awakening, as that is my number one favorite Zelda game ever. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get any info on Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing, though.
I've imported a couple of Japan only game soundtracks like the Tales of Legendia and Arkanoid DS CDs. But the Katamari soundtracks are too expensive.
The Bioshock stories and settings are interesting, it's just the gameplay isn't my cup of tea.
Q*bert is awesome! Did you know there was a Q*bert cartoon on Saturday Supercade?
One of my dad's favorite arcade games back then was Centipede. When we'd go to arcades as a family, I'd run for the Pac-Man machine (of course), my mom would hop to Frogger, and my dad would make a beeline for Centipede.
Hey I know this isn't Genesis music, but here's a space song from the arcade and it's one of my top favorite tracks of all time:
And my review is posted!

Katamari valentines sound like a good idea! Here's a couple of Katamari songs that would go well with Valentine's Day.
You're not missing much by not playing Sticker Star. It's bad. I have no desire to play Federation Force. Tri-Force Heroes I have but I haven't played much of it, as it's hard to get people to play it anymore.
Ever Oasis, WarioWare Gold, and Metroid: Samus Returns are very good, though. Worth getting if you can.
I reviewed Rune Factory 4 back in the day. I hope I have enough time for the Switch version. We'll have to see.
There are a lot of things I'm excited for in that Direct. Mario Maker 2 and ESPECIALLY Link's Awakening, as that is my number one favorite Zelda game. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get anything about Luigi's Mansion 3 or Animal Crossing, though.
So here's a true story. Right after I started writing for The Dallas Morning News, a close relative knew a guy who worked for a place in Dallas that made games and it was called Ensemble Studios. I went to visit them and they showed me a game they were working on called Age of Empires. They said they hadn't found a publisher yet, but they were thinking about going with Microsoft. I told them that would be a wise move. And then later the game came out and I got to review the first couple of them for PC.
