Yesterday I picked up Mario & Luigi: Brothership so I've been playing that along with Ys X: Nordics and whatever else I have to review.

But does it fly? :)

I didn't know there was a Konami Arcade Classics on Xbox.  Is it this one?  I almost forgot about that one.  The Konami arcade collection I played the most was on PSOne.

I think Secret of Mana is better than Trials of Mana.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is so full of personality.  I think a Luigi's Mansion movie would be better than a Mario movie.

A lot of my brothers liked the Mass Effect games.  And that's about all I know about Mass Effect!

Yars Rising is very good, and most of the frustrating parts are skippable.

Mika and the Witch's Mountain had such potential, but I eventually got frustrated with it.  You flew on a broom at your last job? :)

I know you said you were burnt out on RPGs, but I highly recommend you download the demo for Ys X: Nordics.  It's a pretty beefy demo, too!  I'm on chapter 3 on it and it hasn't ended yet!

MST3K is my top favorite TV show of all time.  I think in the most recent season, The Mask is considered the Halloween episode.  They celebrate it in the skits anyway.

Streets of Rage 4 is one of the best beat 'em ups I've played in years.  Highly recommended.  My favorite characters are Estel and Blaze.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is also fantastic.  Lots of personality.  I think Luigi's Mansion would make a better movie than just Mario.

Bowser's Inside Story is probably the best of the Mario & Luigi games, and one of the best Mario RPGs overall.  But Brothership is coming out next month, so we'll have to see how that fares.

A couple of days ago I downloaded a demo for Ys X Nordics and I'm still playing it!  I've got the game preordered but this is one meaty demo!  You should check it out.

I really liked Echoes of Wisdom.  I just beat it a few days ago.  It took me 100 hours to beat Tears of the Kingdom, and only 35 to beat Echoes of Wisdom.  And that's a good thing.  I felt the last two 3D Zelda games were a bit overbloated anyway.  Echoes of Wisdom MIGHT end up being my GOTY, it just depends on how good Ys X Nordics and Mario & Luigi Brothership end up being.  Those are the last two big games this year I want to play.
