I've played all the Metroid games except Hunters.  I enjoyed watching people play the NES game more than actually playing it myself.  I only played the Game Boy one for a few minutes, but it felt too much like the first game.  Super Metroid was the first Metroid game I beat.  My little brother was almost in tears when the baby Metroid died, but I've told that story lots of times on my blog.  Fusion was a bit linear but Zero Mission was a bit better.  I love the Metroid Prime games but I never beat 2 because it was too darn hard.  Other M was very disappointing.  Hope they don't do that again.  Even the pinball game was great because it was a pinball game first and a Metroid game second.

Hooray for Shovel Knight.  It might not be a sequel, but this year we're getting a similar game (same music composer, ex-WayForward staff) called Adventures of Pip.

My friends who were into fighting games back then were always talking about Rival Schools.  For some reaosn, I always associate that series with the Dreamcast.  Was it on that console, too?

After being disappointed with the dark turn of Jak 2, I didn't mess with any future Jak & Daxter games.

Hooray for DuckTales Remastered!

I think they could make a whole game out of the music levels in Rayman Legends.  Such a good idea.

I liked the SNES DKC games, but not enough to buy them on virtual console.  They were fun games, but maybe a tiny bit overrated at times.  My favorite story about those games was when I showed DKC to my brother Jeff when he was only one year old and could barely talk.  He was so facinated by it that when my mom came into the room, he started babbling to her and pointing at the TV.  By the end of the summer, he leaned to say "Donkey Kong" so he could let me know he wanted to watch me play it.  Granted he said it more like "Konky Konk," but Donkey Kong was one of his first words!

Link's Awakening is my all-time favorite Zelda game.

I love the Shantae games, too.

I don't really play Mortal Kombat games, but my favorite characters were Reptile, Sonya, and Jade because they wore green.

The PS2 sequel, Samurai Legend Musashi, is definitely not as good as the first one.

Parasite Eve had an interesting concept, but it was too gross for me.  One weird thing is that at the time, I had a kinda-sorta girlfriend who looked just like the main character in that game.
