Yeah! I love those two. I forgot that I have a Klonoa game for GBA, Empire of Dreams that I haven't played yet. 

I watched a youtube vid on the Minecraft Happy Meal Toys. They're pretty cleverly designed, I'll say that.

I want to play as a whale in Skies Above, and Cozy Land sounds interesting.

Yeah, that like just came out. What timing.

Yeah, I figured DKC Returns was really something new. The first set of levels, especially from the overworld view, look very similar to DKC, which made me think of it as a remake.

I'm still trying to figure out what gets my attention in plaformers. I think if they stick too closely to just jumping skills on a 2D plane, I get disinterested.

Oh, I forgot about Impossible Lair. That sounds like a good one.

Well, my definition of "turn-based" is loose. Like active-time battles systems are still "turn-based" to me. Only if you are totally free to act in battle do I disqualify it. So FF6 and Chrono Trigger are on the list.

That's true. I get what I can, like today I saw a lot of 90s RPGs I wanted for my May gaming but they were all $50+. Thankfully there's been some remasters like the one for Lunar Silver Star Story that just came out. I couldn't buy that game even way back in the early 2000s when I was flea market scrounging because it was always so expensive.

I've heard that, but there's really very little chance I'll ever finish it unless someone locks me in a room for six months with only that game.

My usual low patience for platformers kept me from getting very far in it. I'm working on that. Interesting that they put so many new levels into it. It's good to know I can always play it on Switch with the subscription.

I'm expecting physical games and consoles to rise in price. I'm having fun buying retro games right now. It's like a new renaissance of old physical game buying for me right now.

I like Epic Mickey 2 for the most part.

Another Klonoa would be great. Even though I still haven't beat either of them, I still return to them every so often. I used to own the originals, but who knows where they ended up.

So this remake of Epic Mickey is way different than the original which I had a similar experience with. I haven't compared them back to back, but I had no problems with anything in the remake. It even seemed to have different levels, at least, it started out in a different location than I remember from the first one. I'm keen to revisit the original to see just what the differences are. 

And Lost Crown did seem of a very high quality, it just didn't hit me this first go. Often that happens to me, I bounce off a game at first and then return later to discover I really like it.
