Luigi's Mansion is really fun.  The controls take some getting used to, but once you do, it becomes second nature.  I even like how short it is.  It encouraged me to go back and play it again right away to get a higher score.

2007 was the year I got an Xbox 360.  Pac-Man: Championship Edition beckoned.  I THINK Super Mario Galaxy came out that year as well.  And if I'm not mistaken, so did Portal and the Orange Box.  If not 2007, it was definitely 2008.  Help me out, here.

Tales games are fun.  Try Legendia, that's my favorite one.

I've been hearing a lot about Undertale.  If this keeps up, I forsee it making an appearance on consoles as well.  Looks very Earthbound-ey.

I remember renting thsi game as a kid and dying a lot in it.  The cut-scenes were a really big deal back then because a lot of NES games prior didn't have anything like that.  You might've gotten a glimpse of a story at the beginning of the game and at the end, but that was it.  The rest was up to your imagination and whatever was written in the instruction booklet.  But Ninja Gaiden helped changed all that. It may seem silly, but that was one of its most important contributions to gaming.

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.
