I'm pretty happy with Pac-Man/Kirby/Mega Man.

Yes, they have.

Yeah some of the names are great, like Pop Fizz.

Was the Nintendo event you went to this one?

Yeah I don't believe that nonsense about hardware limitations with Samus and Zelda.  It's all about the amiibos.  But Samus is still cool.  She and Kirby even teamed up for one game (Kirby's Dream Land 3).

Just remember that if the ad sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

But man, I would love to work from home at $95 an hour!

I'm looking forward to the Pokken game, myself. Is Charizard in that one?  I can't remember.  I wish Snorlax was in it.  He's my favorite Pokemon.

That Hatsune Miku game seems somewhat interesting, especially if it comes with all that stuff.  I reviewed Dewey's Adventure.  It's pretty fun, but it's just another one of those 'tilt the marble around the maze' kind of games that frequented the Wii back in the day so much.

Mario's all right.  There's actually a bunch of other Nintendo characters I like WAY better, like Kirby and Zelda and Samus and Toad and Luigi and Wario and Captain Syrup and...

I never got an Atari 2600 as a kid because it was too expensive and my parents probably thought I was too young.  And I was happy just to go to arcades more anyway.  The games were better at least.  Our first gaming system for the house was actually a computer, an Apple ][+.  So I was perfectly happy playing a more arcade perfect Pac-Man than the one on the 2600.

My first gaming console was an Atari 5200.  That system had a lot of problems like the fact it was so huge and the controllers weren't too good.  But man the games were so much better on it than the 2600.  That was a Christmas present and it was a total surprise because I didn't even ask for one!  But I think they got it for cheap because the 7800 and the NES were coming out soon.  But it was OK, I enjoyed playing the 5200 anyway.   In fact, I didn't even get a NES right away because I was perfectly happy playing Pengo on my 5200.
