Retro Review: Mario Golf (N64)

I just wish Nintendo would hire Camelot to do a Golden Sun on the Switch. Or maybe Sega hire them to do a new Shining Force. 

Episode 222: It's a Great Lake, But it Ain't a GREAT Lake

On Stanfield, AZ: I grew up in that area, and if you ever somehow find yourself out there, which involves getting about ten miles off of both I-8 and I-10, let me just advise you to drive through the town on AZ Highway 84 with your windows rolled up and your vents closed.  The closest analogue I might suggest is the stockyards west of Amarillo.

Final Fantasy III Review

I have only played the DS version. The Famicom version apparently did max out the abilities of the Famicom. 

That said, I still stand by my assertion that Dragon Quest was a much better series than Final Fantasy on the NES/Famicom.  My favorite NES FF was actually FF2, which is generally considered the worst of the series. It had the closest thing to a story of the NES FF games, and I liked its soundtrack better.

The Taito Milestones collection was lacking. Where were Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Arkanoid? What about classics like Space Dungeon, Zoo Keeper, Rastan, Jungle Hunt?

I've heard that Bandai Namco is pretty much abandoning Ms. Pac-Man because of all the legal hoops they have to jump through with ATGames. That sucks. I'd have also liked to see Jr. Pac-Man on a collection. 


 

Episode 221: We Don't Talk About SOPFFO


Posted on 04/22/2022 at 07:59 PM | Filed Under Feature

Opening Match: Mario is too busy getting busy with Peach and possibly Pauline, so he literally phones it in. As in, he phones the ring and tells them to declare him the winner. Which they do. Chrono Cross resigns itself to a consolation prize of a night for one at the Desert Sands Motel in Stanfield, Arizona, where it has only the company of a 1974 issue of Playboy and the smell of the Stanfield stockyards. 

 

Closing Match: Ched Quest is doing well, but Tetris gets a Tetris. The resulting block explosion squashes Chex Quest into the ceiling. Chex Quest sounds surprisingly like Doomguy when he dies.

Mortal Kombat mania was huge. I was even more hyped for MK2 (Nothing.... NOTHING can prepare you.) Especially when I saw the SNES version in a playable demo. 

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Review

I originally played TP on GameCube, which is the canon version, judging by the fact that the Wii U version is based on the GC version. Motion controls are why I didn't finish Skyward Sword on Wii. I finished it on Switch using the Pro Controller.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Review

Single greatest game ever made at the time of its release. Nothing made in the 16-bit era on any platform even came close. It's still part of my "holy trinity" of Zelda games, the other two being Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess. 

Unboxed the Switch Finally

I love my Switch. I have my launch year model. I own more games for Switch than any other platform I've ever had.

I recently learned that there is a Game Boy port as well. And watching it on YouTube, it's pretty good.
