You meet Ellie the Elephant pretty early on in DKC3, so you should try to go back and find her.
So you've played the Tembo game? Is it worth 15 bucks?
Yeah it's a shame Steambot Chronicles is so hard to find and on an old console as well. Probably makes it hard for people to play again.
What's odd is the Bezerk update is published by Atari! They don't respond to my emails anymore.
The Disney Happy Meal toys are cool, but none of them really grabbed me. About a year ago they did toys based on Disney World's 50th anniversary, so for Christmas that year a relative got me the Chip and Dale ones off eBay!
On Disney+ I'm watching a show about the Muppet band Electric Mayhem. You know, the one where Animal is the drummer? Anyway, in one episode they did a virtual concert on Minecraft. Do they really do that in the game?
Hey I have to brag on something. I got a review copy of that Head Bangers music game. It's basically a music/rhythm battle royale game. Well in the second match I played, i got number one! I've NEVER gotten that in ANY batlte royale game I've played. Not even Pac-Man 99 (I got 2nd place in that one). So I don't know if I got really lucky or if it's really easy to win in Head Bangers, but I'm taking my victory anyway.
You know that Shigeru Miyamoto was the one who created Pac-Man Vs., right? He's supposedly a big fan of Pac-Man.
I will say that even though the past few years were rough, everything has worked out for the most part. Even though COVID is still around, it's not near as bad as it was in 2020. My mom is cured of her breast cancer and hopefully it'll never come back. The family problems we had a year before are all worked out for the better. And even though I had to move from a house that I lived in for more than 20 years and really didn't want to move, where I moved to was probably the best possible situation. So yeah, everything worked out. But during those times at those moments, it was pretty rough. I hope I can have at least a drama-free year or two coming up.
Steambot Chronicles was such a cool game! It didn't get any sequel, but there were a couple of spin off games on the PSP. One just focused on the battling parts of the main game. And the other was a board game adaptation of Blokus, but all the characters you could play as and challenge were from Steambot Chronicles! Weird!
So as you may or may not know, I'm a huge Pac-Man fan. I always have been, ever since I was a little kid. I was a child of the 80s, so Pac-Man back then was like today's Pokemon. Anyway, every kids' dream was to own a full size arcade machine, but that would never happen. But in my case, it did! One day when I was in third grade or so, my dad and I were at our church. Someone just donated a couple of arcade machines, but the church didn't want them so they said, "If you have a truck, you can take them." Well we were there and we had a truck, and one of the machines was Pac-Man so we took that home and I was the happiest kid in the world. I still have that Pac-Man machine to this day. It used to be in the garage where I used to live, but I had to put it in storage since now I live in a small third floor apartment. I hope I can keep that arcade machine as long as I can!
We had a lot of fun with Nintendo Land back in the day. Although the Luigi Mansion and Mario Chase games were basically just variations on Pac-Man Vs.
I think the short length is one of Luigi's Mansion's strengths. It makes it very replayable. I wish that when Nintendo announced the remaster of Luigi's Mansion 2 on Switch, they would've included the first game, too. Made it a collection. Then you could play ALL the Luigi's Mansion games on Switch! Well, except the arcade game. Have you ever played that one? I bet it wouldn't be too hard to put the arcade game on Switch either, since it just uses assets from Dark Moon.
You got some GREAT deals on those GameCube games. I hear that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is insanely expensive. The Mario baseball game was actually made by Namco since they're famous for their Famista games. And Kirby Air Ride is highly underrated. I personally think it's better than Double Dash.
One good thing about Tears of the Kingdom is that it has actual dungeons this time. They were a lot of fun.
I didn't really like the Shark! Shark! remake that much. Your fish moved too slow. However, after that I reviewed a remake of another Intellivision classic: Astrosmash, and I liked that one a lot more. The review hasn't posted yet, but it will later.
