There was a third Pocky and Rocky game on the GBA called Pocky and Rocky with Becky.  Natsume just recenlty ported it to Wii U Virtual Console.  Not sure if the first two are on Wii VC, but you might want to check.  Also, when the Wii was the main Nintendo home console, a company was going to do remakes of Taito games, but Taito declined so that company went and made their games anyway without the Taito licenses.  So if you ever see a game called Heavenly Guardian, that was supposed to originally be a new Pocky and Rocky game.  I know a thing or two about Pocky and Rocky.

2007 was a rough year for me because that was the first full year at the job I hated (and I still work there).  I'm surprised I even lasted that first year.  Family life was rough, too.  Nothing really bad or dramatic, but deifinitely more stressful.

Like I said earlier, 2007 was the year I got an Xbox 360.  There were enough games on it I wanted to play by then, with promise of more to come.  Pac-Man: CE was the final straw that made me cave in.  The 360 ended up being my favorite console of last generation, and I still play it today!

I named my Game of the Year in 2007 Super Mario Galaxy, but I really wanted to give it to Portal.  But, it was part of the Orange Box, which I didn't want to pay full price for since the other two games on it I had no interest in.  But once the game got down to 20 bucks in early 2008, I got it.  I wish I would've gotten it earlier, as Portal and its sequel ended up being one of my favorite games of the last console generation.  I REALLY like Portal games!

I first heard about Gwange at 1up.  I'd rather play the more kid-friendly version: KiKiKaiKai (Pocky & Rocky). :)

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.
