I really wanted to play Astral Chain last year but the second half of the year was so swamped for me. I've beaten the first big boss so far and really enjoying it. I'm glad Nintendo and Platinum have such a good relationship.

Did you play Kirby Canvas Curse for the DS? It's more of that with a nice clay aesthetic. I find I grow a little bored if I play too many levels in a row but a couple at a time is great. It's just so different from everything else.

I think if you go into River City Girls with proper expectations (you're not going to mindlessly plow through it), you could have a good time, especially if you can find someone skilled to play with. Wishlist it and I'm sure it will go on sale eventually.

Pirate's Curse is a great entry point into the Shantae series, I think. I heartily recomment it.

Well, I can't weigh in on River City Girls vs Streets of Rage 4, but you can grind for levels in RCG, so theoretically you could power through it given enough time.

I know there are a lot of reasons people have to purge or thin their game collections but I'm glad I have not had to do that. Also, earlier this year we got a new TV with four HDMI ports instead of two. So much better! HDMI splitters never work very well and having just two things hook up is so restrictive.

That's a lot of Ratchet and Clank! Also, you have a very cool job, even if it involves picking up dumb people's trash sometimes.

I'm currently closing in on the end of the third volume of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, so I'm very familiar with what it would take to terraform Mars lol. Surviving Mars sounds cool, though maybe not my kind of game.

Ooh, that game IS pretty! Of course, maybe I should play those nice copies of FFT and Tactics Ogre on my PSP first...

The platforming challenges in the final dungeon of Pirate's Curse were no joke! Looking forward to playing Seven Sirens eventually.

Yeah, they didn't stick with Pokken for very long...but it was $5! So I do feel we got our money's worth out of it lol and who knows, they randomly go back to stuff all the time. Ah, to have a child's time.

It's too small. Aside from the four game limit thing, it's just too dang small! This is just the Japanese announcement, I think, so maybe things will be different when they bring it out over here. If they bring it out over there. Some of those games definitely did not come out in America back in the day. I love the idea of a classic handheld console collection thingy, but this is not the way to do it.
