One of the reasons why I stopped playing games like Gravity Rush 2, A Hat in Time, and even Beyond Good & Evil is that the stealth sections sucked. The only game I thought had fun stealth sections was the Ape Escape series.
Back when I was writing for The Dallas Morning News, I remember reviewing a fishing controller. Not sure if it was that one or a different one. That was nearly 20 years ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
I didn't get into Rock Band until LEGO Rock Band came out.
Namco is bringing two more of their Taiko games to the US this fall! Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session on the PS4, and Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum n Fun on the Switch! Yay!
Hydro Thunder was originally an arcade game by Midway. I prefer Arctic Thunder. It was a sequel racer on snowmobiles. I liked it because the arcade cabinet blew cold air on you. Nice on hot days.
I reviewed Hue a while back. Fun little puzzle game.

Another neat thing is when you replay the story levels and make it past a boss fight, you get a 1up if you lost a life before then.
Glad you got to play it. Each character has a mini-story, and when you beat all of them you'll see a conclusion. The game saves your scores for each character and when you play microgames seperately. When you replay a character's folder, after you beat the boss you'll keep going with harder levels. There's a surprising amount of replay value to be had. Especially with all the extras you can unlock.
The game tallies up scores for each character and for each microgame when you play them seperately. Glad you got to play it. The NES freak is 9-Volt. He's my favorite, too.
This isn't really a genre, but I'd like to see more games that I could really sink my teeth into like in the 16-bit days. It's hard to describe, but ever since I got the SNES Classic Edition last year, I've been thinking if I'd be perfectly happy playing nothing but 16-bit games from now on. Sure today's games can hook me, but it seems less frequent that they do.
As far as genres go, I'd like to see more top down action adventure games like classic Zelda. And RPGs that don't take 100s of hourse to complete. I am Setsuna was a step in the right direction with that.
I'll still wait until Netflix as I don't know anyone who would want to see that movie with me. Plus, movies are getting more expensive so I have to be selective of which ones to go to.
