I got Super Mario Kart for Christmas one year and that ended up being one of my top five favorite games of all time.

The Christmas that I graduated college I got a Dreamcast as a present, and that was pretty cool.

When I was a kid, I got an Atari 5200 for Christmas and that was a big surprise because I didn't even ask for one.

I know it's not Christmas, but when the SNES came out, i got one for my birthday and that ended up being my top favorite console of all time.

I got a lot of cool stuff for Christmas, too.  Check back Friday and you can see some of them at GamerDad.com.  I also got a PS Vita (and Gravity Rush).

I kind of figured you'd save Rosalina for last.  I like her amiibo figure.

I wonder if Go Shiina is doing the music for the new game like he did the PSP God Eater game?  I just got a PS Vita for Christmas, by the way.

I love classic arcade collections.  I think there is another one Capcom did on the PSP called Capcom Classics Collection: Reloaded.  It has one of my favorite obscurities on it: Pirate Ship Higemaru!

I miss instruction booklets, too.  They actually came in really handy when I would review a game, as I could refer to them at any time, even if the game wasn't on.  What's even worse is that a lot of times, the in-game instructions are very poorly written now, too. 

When I was little, one of my favorite point and click adventures was called Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, and it starred a tabloid news reporter.  The game came with a mock tabloid newspaper that had tips in the articles on how to solve some of the puzzles in the game!

I never got into Shulk or the game he's from, but his amiibo figure is awesome and very detailed.

2015 wasn't one of my better years.  I'll have my Game of the Year 2015 blog up in early January.

I havne't even gotten any of the DLC for Smash.  Since I don't have anyone to play it with right now, it's not as much fun.  I'd rather they would've used Cammy, but I guess Ryu is more representative of the series.

I saw the new Star Wars movie opening night.  You are more than welcome to read my spoiler-free blog about it if you get a chance.
