Nintendo was smart to have Namco make this game because Namco has had lots of experience with arcade style, pick-up-and-play baseball titles.  Namco's most famous baseball series is called Family Stadium.  It's called that because they first came out on the Famicom.  If a Family Stadium game comes out on another console or arcade, they call it World Stadium.  Family Stadium is so popular that people in Japan just shorten it to Famista.  In Japan, the Mario baseball game is actually called Mario Family Stadium.  The very first Family Stadium game came out in the US under the name R.B.I. Baseball.  The only small problem with the Mario baseball game is that it plays a little slower than some of the other Family Stadium games.  There are some Family Stadium games that have teams made up of classic Namco characters!  Such as Heiachi, Valkyrie, Wonder Momo, Reiko Nagase (Ridge Racer lady), and lots more!  I know a lot about Namco.  Speaking of which, I just posted a blog about the Namco characters in Project X-Zone 2!

I bet they'll talk a lot about Pokken.  I wish they'd announce Pokemon Channel 2.  I think I'm the only one who kind of liked that game.

Never played MGS2, but I did get MGS3 on sale for one reason only.  Let's see if you can guess why.

I never really got into the Darkstalkers games for some reason.  I don't really have a favorite character, but if I had to pick one, I guess it would be Hsien-Ko.  There are a lot of Darkstalkers characters in Project X-Zone 2, but not her.

I never heard of that Asura Buster game.  Any cool characters in it I'd like?

Oh I'm planning to volunteer and even apply for any opening jobs at the museum!  So please wish me luck and keep me in your thoughts and prayers on that venture.

I never heard of this game, but the National Videogame Museum, which opens up near where I live soon, has one of those as an exhibit.

I'm pretty happy with my regular ol' 3DS right now.  The bigger screen is the only new appealing thing for me.

The Lion King was my brother Jeff's first Disney movie, so it is pretty special.

Iron Giant is good, but there was one thing that didn't sit right with me, but I won't go into it here.

Just about anything Pixar does is good.  Toy Story 2 is one of my favorites from them.

Wakko's Wish was kind of the series finale for Animaniacs.  They pretty much made that movie for the fans, and it was good.  Sadly, it only got a VHS release.  Animaniacs is one of my all time favorite cartoons, too.

I never liked Goof Troop, but the SNES game Capcom made of it was awesome.

Lots of Studio Ghibli films from the 90's were awesome, too.

I've reviewed a lot of Shrek games in my line of work, but I don't think I've played this one!

When I was at PAX South, I attended a panel where the speaker was a teacher and she talked about how she uses ideas from video games to motivate her students, since video games are good at motivating kids.  Her name was Ashley Brandin.  Maybe you could look up her name and see if she has her speech online or something?
