I miss the local mom and pop video rental places.
I loved the Banjo games on N64. I think I even reviewed the second one for The Dallas Morning News. After downloading and playing them on the 360, I have to say they have held up well still today. They just don't make 3-D platformers like that anymore. I loved how the worlds were interconnected in the sequel.
I did beat FF2 a long time ago. The levelling system is messed up, but otherwise, not that bad of a game.
DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze have such awesome level designs, I just wish they weren't so gosh darn hard!
While there are some fighting games I like, such as Soul Calibur and Smash Bros., I'm not a big fan of many fighters, so I never got into the Alpha games.
That's the good thing is that I don't feel like I'm pressured to buy anything.
I like Inspector Zenigata. Can't stand Fujiko.
What's really cool about Lupin III is that there is a Lupin movie called Castle of Cagliostro, and Miyazaki directed it.
Yes I do know a thing or two about anime. Although my brother says the only ones I know about are the OLD ones! :)
Get well soon!
My favorite Girl Scout Cookies are those peanut butter and chocolate ones. I forget what they're called. Get-A-Longs or Ding-A-Lings or something.
And you be careful running out there!
Oh you know you want to play Poop. :)
My thoughts on Kirby? You mean the new game? I wasn't really planning on writing a blog about it, but I do like it better than Canvas Curse, but not by much. Nice clay graphics, though.
Yes, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King...etc. is a very good game. It was made by WayForward to (most of them are). Here is a link to my review of it:
Recently I also reviewed an Adventure Time game that played like Link to the Past. You might want to check it out as well, although it's not near as good. Here's my review of that:
And I think Pokemon Shuffle does that quite well. I'm past stage 70 now and haven't paid a thing.
I never could get into the Punch Out games. In the arcade, the bigger kids were always hogging the Punch Out machine, so I never got to play it much. The one on the NES was very popular and I played it over at a friend's house many times, but I was never good at it. I rented the SNES Super Punch Out once but didn't get very far. So I never bothered with the Wii one. Again, one of those cases where you can't play all the games out there. I do think it's funny that you can turn into Giga Mac and also fight Donkey Kong on the Wii version.
And yes, there was an arcade version of Super Mario Bros. I actually played that before trying it on the NES! it's pretty much the same game, but some of the enemy and block placement is slighty different.
