Thanks so much for listening!  It's been a while since I played Sly Cooper, and I've never been much of a Crash fan.  But the levels in Sly 1 just felt like linear obstacle courses, like Crash, and you didn't get very many hits until you died.  Also stealth, don't like that.  So I didn't play it very long.  But then, this also came out when there was a glut of 3D platformers so I had a lot more choices, and Sly 1 just wasn't going to be one of them.  I hear the sequels are more open, though.  

Actually for all TMNT games, my favorite is Raphael.  Why?  Well because in the first TMNT arcade game, Raphael's joystick was on the far right side, and I liked to play there because I didn't have to squeeze inbetween others.  That's also why I picked Lisa in The Simpsons arcade game.

For Streets of Rage, my favorite character used to always be Blaze.  But in SoR4's DLC, you could play as the policewoman Estel Aguirre, so now she's my favorite.  She's like Blaze, except super strong!  And she's a police officer!

The music in Arkanoid DS is freaking amazing.

I forgot there's also Lynx and Atari PC games on the collection, too.

Forgotten Land is one of the best games of the past year.  The future looks bright for 3D Kirby games!

I was a tiny bit disappointed with Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, but I am looking forward to Puzzle Bobble Everybubble coming out this year!

I'm glad I got to review River City Girls Zero.  I got that SEGA Picross game, too.

The LEGO Movie Videogame is pretty standard LEGO game stuff, but boy that movie it was based on was excellent.  Pixar quality, I'd say.

I'd like to try that Crusin' Blast game.  I played it in an arcade a couple of times.  I do love a good arcade racer.

That Ori game was way too hard!  I couldn't beat it.

Color Splash was slightly better than Sticker Star, but then, I thought Sticker Star was one of the worst Nintendo games ever.  The latest one: Origami King, is much better.  I actually beat that one.

Drill Dozer is a lot of fun.  Reminds me of a Treasure action game.  I wish they'd make more games like that now.

I'm glad I got to review Shredder's Revenge.  I agree with you that Streets of Rage 4 was a tiny bit better.  Can you guess my favorite characters in both TMNT Shredder's Revenge and SoR 4?

Glad to see another shoutout to Klonoa.  When I got the collection and played it, I forgot just how much I loved those games!  I even got the Platinum trophy for them!

Live A Live was also great and I'm glad I got to review Pocky and Rocky Reshrined.  And it's so cool that we got the Cowabunga Collection this past year, too!

Well I did get the Switch version of Arkanoid: Eternal Battle for Christmas, so I'll get to play the Battle Royale mode there.

Miraculous is a good game for younger fans, but it didn't do anything to sell me on the cartoon.  But then, I am pretty picky about what I watch on TV.  Well, I say that as I watch my dumb ghost investigation shows and MST3K.

It's all right, but nowhere near as good as Arkanoid DS.  I think you'd really like Atari 50, as one of the new games on it is Neo Breakout.

By the way, I just posted a review of something I think you'd find interesting:

You're playing one of the worst LEGO games (Skywalker Saga), as well as one of the best ones (City Undercover).
