Faxanadu hasn't really died.  It's actually part of a game series by Falcom called Xanadu.  It was called Faxanadu because it was on the Famicom (NES in Japan), therefore, Fa-xanadu.  I think Falcom made a new Xanadu game on the PC a few years ago.

After playing Freedom Planet, I'd like to see thsoe developers resurrect Ristar.

Sony and Microsft, you want me to buy a Xbox One or PS4?  Ger Capcom to release Mega Man Legends 3 on your consoles.  Sony, if you make Loco Roco 3, I'll get a Vita or PS4 or whatever system it's on.

I just beat LEGO Dimensions.  I'll probably write a blog about it before the year's over.  The ending will make Portal fans (like me) happy.

I really like my Wii U.  Right now I'm really enjoying Yoshi's Woolly World.  It's great.

If you like Ys games you should try Ys Seven on PSP.  I really enjoyed that one.

PN.03 reminded me of Space Invaders for some reason.

I was thinking about waiting about getting Zestiria since I have so many other games to play and review right now.  Plus, I like to NOT buy everything, that way I have some ideas to give to people who want to give me Christmas presents.  But we'll see.

So how is the music?  I heard it was done by my favorite video game music composer: Go Shiina.  He also did the music for Legendia.  Do the two games sound similar?  Also, are there any characters in Zestiria that you think I'd like?

I never understood why people liked the first NES game so much.  I hated it.  I never played the second one on Game Boy.  I did give Uprising a try.  Still hated it, as the controls were awful.  But Palutena was funny in that game. 

Believe it or not, I played Mario 3 on a PlayChoice 10 months before it came out and even before it was previewed on The Wizard.

Mario 3 is a great game, but it's not my favorite.  I'm probably one of the only people in the world who liked Mario 2 better than Mario 3.  Heck, I also like Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island better than 3.  But 3 did have some creative power-ups.

For me, the best game on the NES was probably Zelda.

Yeah I know you said no LEGO Dimensions, but I'm going to do it anyway, so nyeah!

I think LEGO Ghostbusters would work very well, even though they'd have to change some gameplay mechanics to account for ghost catching and trapping.  But a change in that regard might be good. 

The LEGO Back to the Future levels in Dimensions show that the movie doesn't always translate well to LEGO since the movies aren't all about action.

I just got done with the Midway arcade level in Dimensions where I played LEGO versions of Defender, Gauntlet, Super Sprint, and Robotron, and that was freaking awesome.

And the game also shows that a third person fixed camera Portal game really could work.

Other properties that could use the LEGO treatment include The Fifth Element, Futurama, and maybe a more fleshed out Simpsons title.  And everyone wants LEGO Zelda (just play 3-D Dot Game Heroes).

It's on the Disney XD cable channel.  Usually comes on around 4 in the afternoon (Central Time), on Monday or Tuesday.  I have to DVR it because I have to be an adult and go to work. :)

I just downloaded the demo last night and hope to try it this weekend.

I had never even heard of this one!  Sounds like an overhead Mappy game.
