That's true. The Arcade Archives series by Hamster is doing a good job of bringing back a lot of my old under-the-radar favorites like Kangaroo and Pooyan, as well as Nintendo's arcade library, but of course they're only doing Japanese games. WarnerMedia has shown no interest in re-releasing Midway's arcade library for modern hardware.
I hsven't tried Pac-Man 99 yet, but I had Mario 35 when it was still online, and I have to admit, I got pretty hooked on it. I even made first place a few times, which otherwise never happens to me in battle royale games.
Oh, man, I remember the Garbage Pail Kids. Most of the teachers hated them, though my fourth grade teacher was pretty chill about things like that. My favorite was the kid taking a bath in a urinal.
I had this on the 360. I liked it okay, and I think it has a surprisingly large number of fans. It's been somewhat vindicated by history especially since the newer, less buggy versions came out.
I had the GB version of Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 1. I saved up hard-earned money for it after playing it on NES. It admittedly did have enough levels and stuff to give me some bang for my buck, though it wasn't the best game out there. But then, the Game Boy at that time mostly had games like that and Alleyway. Great stuff like Kid Icarus, Metroid II, Link's Awakenening, and the FF Legend/Adventure games took awhile to come out.
Definitely has Crazy Castle vibes.
I'd start out with a podcast to see how you like it, then branch into videos if you enjoy it. Just be prepared to grow a skin as thick as a rhinoceros.
I have Cities Skylines on the Switch. It's amazing and is the proper successor to SimCity, not the abomination EA put out, but when you build a large enough city, the computations become just a bit too much for the Switch to handle, and it crashes a fair amount. Still, it's the best city sim out there right now.
I've been bouncing between a lot of old school games - Sega Genesis Classics, Atari Flashback Classics, and SaGa Frontier. Also started up again with Octopath Traveler, which superficially reminded me of SaGa Frontier at first.
Dragon Quest XI S is right up there with BotW on my list of favorite games of the 2010s. It's Dragon Quest at its most refined.
I got Capcom Arcade Stadium on Switch. It has a lot of Capcom's arcade games from the 80s through the early 2000s, though it is by no means comprehensive. I mostly got it for games like 19xx games, Ghosts 'n' Goblins/Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, and rarer classics like Giga Wing. It includes two versions of Street Fighter (Hyper and Super Turbo), and even Cyberbots, but no Darkstalkers/Night Warriors games, unfortunately.
3. "BEWARE, COWARD!" from Sinistar. That was when voice in computer and video games was a novelty.
2. Aran Ryan's taunts from Punch-Out for the Wii. The series has always gotten taunting down pretty good, but they went over the top with Aran Ryan.
1. Kefka's laugh in Final Fantasy VI. One of the single most memorable sound effects in gaming.
Cage Match:
Gonna go with Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge, err, Mario Golf, here. Mario can run, but I've never seen Sonic play golf. I imagine that the ball would be in the parking lot when Sonic played.
