Taito is one of my favorite retro game companies.  They has as much history behind them as Nintendo and Namco do!  And they still make aswesome arcade and mobile games to this day!  (Groove Coaster, Arkanoid vs. Space Invaders, Bust-A-Move Journey, etc.).  I just wish Square-Enix would do more with them.

And what are you talking about 1976 not being a great year for gaming?  1976 was an AMAZING year for gaming.  Did you know a realy cool and awesome game reviewer was born that year?  You MIGHT have heard of him...maybe... :)

You folks must just have way smarter brains than I do.  I just don't think of complicated stuff like that.  I'm just like, "Duh, I like Super Metroid, it's awesome."

Well I never heard back from the folks at Golf Story so I guess I won't be reviewing it.  Oh well, that happens sometimes.  Maybe I'll download it myself later.  But not now.  Too many other games to play and review!

Have you done a blog about those Skylanders yet?  The Life element Superchargers?

With his armor and hammer, my brother Jeff called the Bowser Skylander "Cosplay Bowser."

So in the game, Bowser uses his hammer and breathes fire as you'd expect.  He also can send out Koopa Troopas and Dry Bones out to hone in on and attack enemies.

Do you have the Donkey Kong Skylander, too?

I can't believe another Star Wars movie is coming out so soon!

Told ya Axiom Verge was good!

The SNES is my favorite video game console.  So many good games on it.  

I got the SNES Classic Edition for my birthday.  Pretty much anything on that is good.  

You have a pretty good list to start.  Games I played to death on my SNES include FF4, FF6, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario World, Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, ActRaiser, Wario's Woods, A Link to the Past, Mega Man X, Super Mario Kart, Mario Paint, and many more!

Did you ever play DQ Builders?  I can't remember if you did or not.  You might like that one.  My brother Jeff was really into Minecraft and he LOVED DQ Builders as well.  They're making a sequel to that, too!

I emailed the developers of Golf Story to try and get a review code, but they haven't responded yet.  I'd download the game myself, but I have too many other games to play right now.  Gofl Story reminds me of a fictional video game Steven played in an episode of Steven Universe.

Axiom Verge is a FANTASTIC game.  Not quite as good as Super Metroid, but still a great tribute to that 16-bit classic.  It won my "Best 2-D Adventure" award last year, even beating out Kirby: Planet Robobot.  That's how much I liked it.
