Yeah it's always fun when companies step outside their box.  I thought it was cool when Square did that with Einhander (shooter), and Brave Fencer Musashi (Zelda-ish game).

Bluh, some of those Maw achievements sound like a pain to get.  I like achievements, but I only try to do them if they're fun.

I loved this game as a kid.  I never owned it, but I rented it a bunch of times.  Right from the start, the SNES impressed me with games like this due to the graphics and sound.

It's a shame the ActRaiser sequel sucked so hard.  They took out the fun simulation sections, which I might've been OK with had it not been they ruined the action stages, too.  Your guy moves even slower in the sequel, and even though he has wings to glide and fly with, the play control was not as easy to get used to as in the first game.  Plus it was just too darn hard.

For many years I racked my brain, asking myself why I never just up and bought the first ActRaiser back then.  But once it was on Virtual Console, I bought it right away and answered my own question.  I forgot that I could beat this whole game in an afternoon.  It's very easy and short, which is both good and bad.  But when I was a kid, I usually only bought games that would take me a long time to beat, since I felt I was getting my money's worth.  I'm not like that now, but I was back then.  So that's why I never owned it.  Plus it was much cheaper to rent it for a buck on a weekend rather than paying 50 bucks for it.  You know how things are when you're a kid.

But yeah, I still love the first ActRaiser and it's one of the best early SNES games out there.

I don't mind silly games, but I at least would like to be able to control them.  At least enough to get past the first level. :)

If you read between the lines you'll probably be able to tell what my new blog will be about, if you haven't already figured it out.

I think it's funny that the Mario Kart Fruit Snack topic is getting the most attention in the comments here.:)  It's not even a game!

Yeah I really think the fruit snack thing is not just an age thing.  Do you remember Garfield Fruit Snacks?  Those were the best!

I'll be a little sad if you pick Xenoblade over Yoshi's Woolly World. :)

I should have two lists: one for games I want to review, and one for what I want to buy.  I just bought LEGO Dimensions because I didn't get to review it, but I used gift certificates to get it so I didn't pay any money for it. 

I'll definitely be buying Chibi Robo: Zip Lash, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Zelda: Triforce Heroes.  If the Fatal Frame game comes out on Wii U like they say, I'll get that, too.  Only reason why I want Zestria is because of who I hear is composing the music for it.  And then there's Yo-Kai Watch and that's about it for me.  I'm hoping to review other games, though.

If Arc System Works made it, wouldn't it just be a fighting game? :)

Of course the Toad/Lara game would sell well!  People would look at it and say, "Hey, Cary came up with that, and he's full of good ideas!  Well, he's full of something, anyway." :)

It might work better on a PC keyboard or a PS4 controller, but it did not work well for me on a touch screen.  And believe me, I tried realy hard to like this game, but I just couldn't.
