Kirby Star Allies HECK YEAH!
I didn't know that Blade Strangers would have that girl from the fishing platformer game in it! I'll have to look that up.
There are a few other fighting games with an all female cast, but the only one worth mentioning is also from SNK. Gals Fighters on the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
I had never heard about this game until I learned about it through the PSOne Namco Museum volumes. And I do believe the first time I played it was on the PSP Namco Museum Battle Collection. Although last year when I went to Free Play Arcade, they had a King & Balloon machine there. I think that's the only time I've seen one.
"Thank you!"
"Bai Bai!"
I like my Switch a lot, too. But right now I play my PS4 more often. That might change down the road, but that's how it is now. I nearly always just play my Switch through the TV.
Namco Museum vol. 2 was the first PlayStation game I owned.
I've seen Baby Pac-Man in quite a few places over the years. I even saw it last month when I went to PAX South! It's hard to find because that machine is a pain in the butt to maintain, supposedly.
Super Pac-Man is one of my favorite Pac games. It's so crazy and I got really good at it because when I was a kid, it was at the front of the local Wal-Mart for the longest time.
I actually side with Midway on those other Pac-Man games, too. Namco let that stuff slide for a few years because it was making them money. So they're at fault as much as Midway was. It would be very dumb for Namco to phase out Ms. Pac-Man, as most consider it a better and more memorable game.
I would love it if you would play Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp! You should try it, it's free!
Yeah I wonder what Mario Kart Tour would be like. I haven't dabbled in too many racing games on my iPad.
Super Mario Run didn't hold my interest for very long either. But then, I'm not as big of a Mario fan that everyone thinks I am.
Actually, you're wrong about one thing. I think Ms. Pac-Man is just as legit as any other Pac-Man game. Midway got the license from Namco fair and square. It's Namco that doesn't want to admit that Ms. Pac-Man is a real Pac-Man game, even though it tops everything they did. So yeah, I actually kind of side with Midway on that one.
Since I first played Pac-Man in a Kroger grocery store, I didn't realize there was such a thing as an arcade until a little later. A few months after I first played Pac-Man, we were visiting relatives in Alabama. My aunt said she was going to take me to a place called an 'arcade.' When I got there I was in shock. All these video games in one place? Wow! I still remember the name of that arcade, too. "Electric Castle."
The US Xevious arcade cabinet is really cool, art-wise. Xevious actually has a huge lore that's larger than the game itself. Look it up sometime. It has a huge backstory and is probably the first game to use pre-redenered graphics on the sprites.
Speaking of Pac-Man Fever, I sitll have the record album of it that I got as a kid. There was a restaurant called Larry's that we would go to sometimes and they had a jukebox that had Pac-Man Fever on it. I would always ask for a quarter for the jukebox. After a while, though, my mom wouldn't give me any more quarters for it. Wonder why? :)
