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.
Well in 2020 I was playing a lot of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. That game came out at just the right time, what with the pandemic and all. So far this new decade has just sucked. First the pandemic, then the next year my mom's breast cancer scare, then after that some family problems, and this year I had to move! I hope next year is better! I'm tired of this.
I need to request a review copy of that Headbangers game.
I'm a big fan of Astro Boy. Very influential cartoon. Capcom denies that Astro Boy inspired Mega Man, but I call BS on that one. The 2003 version was very good. They used the animation frame speed of a theatrical release cartoon, not a Saturday morning one, so that's why it looked so good. Also, Astro Boy: Omega Factor is one of the best GBA action games out there.
I liked NES Remix. I wish they'd revisit that again. Maybe SNES Remix? Other games I really liked in 2014 were Child of Light, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Shovel Knight, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.
I never liked the Splatterhouse games. Not because they were too gory, but because the gameplay was too clunky. The one on the Famicom was the best one.
I think it's funny that in the 3D Splatterhouse game on 360, the Terror Mask was voiced by Jim Cummings. I can hear a tinge of Darkwing Duck in that voice!
I really like it when games have a setting inside an arcade or pinball machine. Can't get enough of that. Sonic does that a lot with pinball casino stages. Then there's Waluigi Pinball from Mario Kart. And of course the PSOne Namco Museums. I normally don't play those Yakuza games, but one time when one of my brothers was showing me one, he let me play the part where you're in an arcade and all I did was play Space Harrier and Fantasy Zone and talked to the arcade lady. So yeah, more arcades in video games please, I love 'em!
My mom liked watching the Witcher show on Netflix. She asked me why I never played the games and I said, "Oh come on, does that LOOK like a game I'd play?" She asked the same thing about BloodRayne when she watched those movies and got the same reaction out of me. :)
There is a Kirby manga. I don't think there's a Pac-Man one. They'll make a manga out of anything.
I don't really have much time for reading so it's a good thing my favorite video games don't have novels. Can you imagine a Kirby or Pac-Man novel?
