Ragnarok did remind me of Secret of Mana a bit.

That mouse ate your cheynne pepper powder?  That must be Super Mouse!  He's probably breathing fire by now.  Just what you need, a fire breathing mouse!

Post 16-bit?  Probably Mario 64.  I had a N64 for a couple of years before I even got a PSOne.  The 3-D in Mario 64 was pretty amazing at the time.

I rented this once.  I never really liked the R-Type games.  They were hard, but not in a fun way.  There was one on the PS2 that was all right, though.

I can't remember if it's on the DS collection or not, but I always like Gyruss.  My brother Jeff loved playing Circus Charlie on the PSOne Konami collection. Time Pilot is awesome.

I've always loved cel shaded graphics.  I was even excited for Wind Waker when everyone else was like, 'ew, cartoon Zelda.'  I think Wind Waker is one of the best looking GameCube games.  I like a lot of other cel shaded games, too.  And Okami was amazing.

The one thing that makes Namco Museum DS worth owning is Pac-Man Vs.

I pre-ordered the game, too, but I haven't played it yet.  I'm going to Alabama next week to visit family, and it can sometimes get a little boring and slow there, so I may save it to play then.  I think the cartoon is pretty awful, but I watch it anyway.  It's so bad it's good, in a MST3K sort of way.  Nintendo isn't marketing it enough like they did Pokemon, so I don't see it getting as popular here as it is in Japan.

I think it's a neat idea and has done very well.  But it can also be viewed as a waste of money, too.  But if you enjoy it, it's not a waste.  I enjoy revieweing Skylanders titles, but I never bought a single one.  The only ones I have are the ones that came with the review copies.  I enjoy getting the Amiibo figures because I like all the characters, and most can be used with more than just one game.  Disney Infinity has a lot of neat recognizable characters, but they limit you on when you can use them, so they missed the point with that.  LEGO Dimensions has the right idea, too, but LEGO toys are expensive and are a bit too small for me to work with.  But I still enjoyed the LEGO Dimensions game, mainly because of Portal.
