After looking through your two blogs, the Neo Geo mini looks really neat! A few too many fighting games for my taste but that's SNK for you. I do love the Metal Slug games, though, and some of these other ones sound cool too. I think I might have downloaded Blazing Star on the Wii virtual console back in the day but I'm not sure. (EDIT: No wait, maybe that was Blazing Lasers.)
Sakura Wars is definitely not for everyone, which is a caveat for every visual novel, but I'd encourage you to give it a try if you see it on sale.
Haven't you been playing long RPGs exclusively? No wonder you haven't beaten anything!
There's no one quite as, uh, flamboyant as that particular Texan in the new Sakura Wars but there is a girl—maybe 10 years old?—who is a legit ninja, which is pretty cool.
I never played Blaster Master on NES and I have thoroughly enjoyed the Zero games, so I say give them a try!
I remember being very curious about Bug Fables when it came out. Very interested to know what you think of it as it goes.
I've always been impressed with Game Freak's non-Pokémon games, so I'm not surprised Tembo is good.
How do you still have Minecraft achievements left to get?? 
Thankfully, I think the series is doing well enough for itself that we can safely assume we'll be getting more Shantae in the future 
But you really should play Pirate's Curse. It's very good.
Platinum on Dragon's Crown wasn't too bad once you get a plan, which the internet is great for. Seriously, how else would you ever get some of these hidden trophies?? Helps to have friends too. The game was definitely wearing thin near the end though!
Oh my word, you have a lot of games going at once! And so many of them RPGs!
I always thought Tyranny sounded really cool but as far as I know it never got ported to any consoles.
There are people who enjoy soloing Monster Hunter but I am not one of them. One of the guys I play with is a super fan of the genre, so he always knows the best way to do anything and all the obtuse ins and outs. I'd be lost otherwise lol.
Agreed! One more Shantae and I'll be caught up...but I've never liked playing multiple games in a series back-to-back, so I'll circle around and come back to Seven Sirens later.
