Xenoblade Chronicles 3 was easily my favorite announcement, and it's coming this year. Live A Live looks interesting. Apparently one of the characters can fight Hulk Hogan.
I thought this game was a Mario game when I was a kid. Zeke has a Mario vibe to him. I still wouldn't mind if Arcade Archives published this game for modern systems, rough or not.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3, baby!
Phendrana Drafts probably had the best original composition from Prime. I also liked the remix of the Brinstar theme that plays when you first land on Tallon IV, and the remix of Ridley's Lair theme from Super that plays in Magmoor.
I thought about getting the Definitive Edition for Switch. Reviews have been downright hostile to it, though, over poor textures, tearing, and music that got cut due to apparent licensing issues (though it was apparently just dummied out rather than excised from the code.) My favorite GTA was Vice City.
So this was made by Taito rather than an imitator. The Gals' Panic games were made by Kaneko, a publisher that went defunct before the turn of the century.
Amidar was hugely popular in Japan. It was originally made by Konami. There were a lot of Amidar clones on home computers.
I had the Atari 8 but version of Qix. In the mid 90s at truck stops on vacation, I saw a soft core pornographic clone of Qix called Gals Panic. The object was to uncover young ladies in increasing stages of undress. If you did the puzzle wrong it would change the girl into a ninja or some other goofy picture.
My most wanted N64 games other than Majora's Mask are Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Harvest Moon 64, and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. I really want to see some Gamecube games start showing up on Switch. For me, the GameCube righted a lot of things the N64 did wrong.
My GOTY was Shin Megami Tensei V. Worth the four years I waited for it. I know people said 2021 was a weak year, but between Nintendo, Capcom, and Sega, I found plenty to play.
Cage Match:
I'm going with Chrono Cross, but that's more by default. It wasn't really as good as Chrono Trigger. Due to limited gaming funds, I passed over it on its initial release in favor of Valkyrie Profile, which went on to become one of my favorite PS1 games. Playing Chrono Cross later affirmed my original decision.
